I’m pretty sure my wife would leave me and our kids in a heartbeat for Robbie if the opportunity presented itself. But joking aside, it’s just a bit of nostalgia for the teenager years I think. And he did a great job of embedding himself into the psyche of the late 90s Zeitgeist.

Try to go to your local supermarket or turn on any generic pop radio station….chances are high you’ll be hearing an old Robbie Williams song.
I was wondering though how he got to sing in the world cup finale? Didn’t know he was still well known internationally

They play “angels” in some Oktoberfest Tent as closing song. The crowd Loves it, it’s a timeless classic at this point.

He was famous 30 years ago, some time ago he made a movie about a monkey that flopped, I think that’s pretty much it

Generally speaking, we love our aging former superstars. It’s like an academic title: Once you earned the status, you’ll keep it.

No.

Most people here are 40+, so yes, everything your grandma likes is popular. Robbie Williams probably can just appear somewhere, sing 1 song and have 20 grandmas hug him: 💰 10k earned.

Was there really a Hasselhoff-mania ever? That always seemed like something the outside world attributed to us, rather than something that actually existed here. But perhaps it was just before my time.

What was that apparent white stuff popping out his nose and on his forehead 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well, he was also part of the Pre Show at the Finals. And he is also very popular all around Europe I think. Especially in the UK. He released a movie which was kinda successful. He released an Album this year that became his sixteenth number one album in the UK. Surpassing the Beatles btw. He’s also currently touring and sold out almost show so far. Top 3 is btw London (Attendance: 106.927), Amsterdam (98.084) and Dublin (79.676)
I was also surprised that he’s still so relevant. I almost forgot that he even released a movie despite almost every movie critic was talking about it

His music sucks imo.

If anything he’s a lot bigger than Hasselhoff (never understood the stereotype anyways hes not even that popular here)

I doubt there is a Hasselhoff mania…

He is still popular, particularly with women 40+. Partly for nostalgic reasons, partly because it’s just easy music and partly because of all his ups and downs and his honesty about those.
Can’t be just Germany, though – he was just invited to sing at the biggest event in the world… (and that screenshot is from that event)

Never why people liked him ever this much. For me he is just an unbearable narcissist.

Robbie Williams is a great singer, composer and entertainer. And I am happy for him that he turned his life around and live a happy life with his wife and kids.
Anyway, he is big in most of Europe, esp. UK, Central and Eastern Europe.

Well, Robbie Williams did have an international career. It wasn’t as though he was a relatively unknown curiosity in his home country, as David was.
