Robbie Williams - Angels

[The Curmudgeon]

The Curmudgeon bends the rules. Because he can.

If this is the first review of The Curmudgeons you've ever read, I'm going to give you a bit of an introduction, and a bit of an explanation, for this one star review.

The Curmudgeon hails from Great Britain, where Robbie Williams could pretty much replace Christ as our saviour. Honestly, they LOVE him here. His every move is front page news, his every release snapped up and sold by the million.

So why am I reviewing him on American Amazon? Simple - because Amazon UK is the biggest waste of time ever. They never print ANY reviews. You might as well write a review and then flush it down the toilet than put it on Amazon UK.

Anyway, The Curmudgeon's "thing" is to review the worst of the worst, the baddest of the bad, and give them all a deserving one star. But here I'm going to bend the rules a little - this isn't one of the worst songs ever written, and it doesn't deserve one star. I have a lot of time for Robbie - frankly I think the UK is in dire need of some decent male pop stars (and NOT some adonyne boy band wannabe from some reality show either), and Angels is.. well, it's nice. A decent song.

So here's why it's getting the one star treatment - not because of the song, not because of the singer - but because of the people who LISTEN to it. Angels has kinda taken a whole new life now, it's became this untouchable anthem adored by every dullard you've ever hated. Every empty-headed, yo-yo knickered slag thinks its "their" song, and hordes of morons across the UK will say this is a "classic choon, maaaan". Do you know this was voted (by the public, always a recipe for disaster) the best song in the last thirty years? It beat Joy Division, for God's sake. I think even Robbie is embarrassed by it all, but that doesn't stop a million cretins for thinking it makes them all deep and stuff for liking it.

Sorry Robbie, it's not you - it's not the song. But if you're one of the drones that insists on playing this in pubs, insists on murdering it at kareoke - if you're planning on walking down the aisle to this - then it's aimed squarely at YOU. For shame.

The Angels comment makes me think of the new "anthem" which has (apparently) become the number one choice for weddings (or, at least, first dances)..

And that song is: "You're Beautiful", courtesy of the eternally nasal James Cunt.

Dear God, as if this song wasn't annoying enough, we now have to wear shit-eating grins when going along to a wedding as the happy couple seemingly don't get the point of the song they've chosen.

As much as I detest the song, I at least get the point (well, the idea) of it. Which is he doesn't get the girl. Sweet buggering Christ, it isn't rocket science.. The last words of the chorus (and indeed song) are "I'll never be with you" or "I will never be with you".

Going by that logic, they might as well play a slightly better song in the shape of "D.I.V.O.R.C.E."... Or, even, better: this.

Toodles!

That link is GOLD.

Hey, you think that's bad? A guy I know went down the aisle to "The Drugs Don't Work" by the Verve.

And they say romance is dead.

ORIGINAL COMMENT FROM AMAZON.COM

Robbie Williams is talking retirement again,and this time he's claiming contact with UFOs. I wonder why the Breish worship him so much.
