I vaguely remember him being portrayed as a “bad boy”. He never caught on here but I am aware of him and I still can’t recall a single Take That or Robbie Williams song.

I feel like he’s getting a lot of harsh comments only because he’s not well known in US. :( I grew up listening his music and I’m from Mexico, even Yuridia, a national singer, has a very popular cover of his song “Angels” in spanish.

Because his music is meh and he thinks he’s cooler than he actually is. He’s a beta male trying to alpha

Ooo ompiville stole your video almost topic for topic the oasis got me 😮

Great advise!

Good luck!

good advice.. congrats on your 1k...

I still love dancing to Rock DJ. The video just gets weird towards the end

What exactly is a “Butt Rock” Station? Or better yet, what is “Butt Rock”? Do tell. No one here is going to tell me that “Human Clay” was not a great album because it was. Even if you think that Scott Stapp was a douchebag, Creed’s music was still quite good.

Take an Example Kpop no one knows what was kpop but now K-pop is a global phenomenon so Robbie is actually a global phenomenon too get it !

The opposite in American continent we love him

I think that america has a very tight close grip on our music scene and what were allowed to hear

I honestly don’t understand the befuddlement of Americans when it comes to Robbie Williams not being famous in the U.S. There are countless American acts that were hugely popular in America that remained unheard of in the UK. K-pop is huge all over the world, and yet the British have never taken to it. Some artists strike a chord with one market, and not the other. Who cares?

His too funny and silly.

Congratulations that you've reached 1000 subscribers 👏🏼🙌🏼 It's a milestone 👍🏼 Happy New Year 🎉🎆🎊 and all the best for 2025 🎇

This is really interesting, but you kind of lost me when you started talking about pink lemonade. Pink lemonade is made from... raspberries!

The fact that he’s shit may have something to do with it

Dude, you calling it butt rock just made me feel so understood! I have been calling that kind of music butt rock for so long, and no one ever understood what I meant. And you can't explain it, it just is butt rock.

Weirdly enough, this is the first video of yours I viewed. Good advice!

As a Scotsman living in Canada, I am so glad that Robbie Williams never made it in North America, As a teenager growing up in a society that was saturated with his mediocrity it was wonderful to come to North America and not have to hear his repetitive derivative wishy-washy music

Boosting this video as it is very good advice! Nicely done man.

Going to leave my comment so YT recommends your content to more people

idk how this popped up on my tl but I am glad.

Congrats :) good advice too

Many big names in America (JayZ, Kanye, Drake...) are very niche artists in Europe. I'm always shocked to see how many millions of listeners have on Spotify where they would sell no gig in my home country😂

He was just too cheeky, funny and real for Americans. Just take a look at the kind of people that actually is successful in America. Products type of artists, people like Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake…. It’s a shame because he is one of the biggest pop stars ever.

we still miss professor jelly.

proud to be in the first 1k out of many, keep rocking dude

Probably the main reason is that he was popular in the places that Take That did well in, like their home country, UK and Australia, etc...Take That didn't break into the US, so he was already on the back foot, after that...100 % about not aligning with the trends in the US, too...

I feel if he wanted to have broken into america, they could have done it. They had to frame him a little differently perhaps, but i still think he could have dominated the adult contemporary market (rather than youth that he had a hold of). Specifically the "I've Been Expecting You" and "Sing When Your Winning" album eras.

I was surprised when I read that most people in the US had no idea who Robbie is. Here in Argentina his music has always been popular, one time when he visited our country he had sex with a normal non-famous girl called Amalia Granata and the press made her so famous simply because of the fact she slept with him that things escalated pretty quickly and she's now a politician...

Robbie is not predictable. He will say whatever he is thinking at the moment and question everything. He will curse and talk about sex and drugs. While his music is very mainstream, it is often subversive in content. He doesn't play by the rules. People with his personality traits are normally comedians, not singers. I can think of plenty of British singers like him, but, as far as American, I can't think of any.

I think it also is that Robbie has a rock star attitude in a pop star body and carrer which especially Americans really don't understand especially in the late 90s and 00s because to us someone acting like that comes across as a fraud. Pop music to us is soulless and calculated and this guy trying to act like he's Jagger.

Also X-Japan would make a good video about why they're the biggest rock band in the world, except American. But J-Metal has actually been making a lot of inroads recently.

English artists do make it in America, it's not impossible. I mean didn't Elton John, Sade, Phil Collins, Lisa Stansfield, Oasis, and The Spice Girls all become popular here? Even some British Hip-hop make it through. Robbie was just not likeable for American audiences for some reason. I also think his label probably deserves some of the blame too. Cause i faintly remember them trying to push him stateside in the early 00s.

I like your hair, buddy.

To be honest 😂😂😂 i never heard of him before this movie lmao

You're not quite right when you say boy bands weren't a thing in the early 90s in the US. Forgotten New Kids on the Block?

I was in a Borders bookstore in the USA in January 2003 and I heard Robbie William's then-new song "Feel" playing in the store. So yes, his stuff has been heard in the US.

What are you talking about? Your example of Robbie being in a boy band and then going on to making generic pop music "doesn't really make sense in the American music charts..." What about Justin timberlake or any other micky Mouse Club people. I'm Australian. We are kind of halfway between American and British influence. Robbie was and is still MASSIVE.

I love his look on the Desire album cover and that Stetson on the live Tangled up in Blue performance.

Ive been a huge fan of Robbie for years now & i live in America so he is not a complete Unknown to me

What does this have to do with Robbie Williams?

I've been a fan of Robbie for decades and I'm an American. We do exist. 😃

I feel like the guy in this video has watched Robbie Williams interviews because I have heard Robbie say many times that he moved to California because he could walk anywhere he wanted and no one would know who he is and he loved it. He then would say if he got on a plane and flew to London and got off it was like the Beatles arriving in America. Can you even imagine living a double life of sorts like that.

He did get famous in America. In Argentina he was huge.

I remember "Millenium" being a hit here in the US. Most Americans are probably more familiar with Jessica Simpson's cover of "Angels" than with the original. Other than that, we've heard his songs in a few Pixar movies.

Because America is a new country, pretty out of culture and experience as a country. That being said, Williams was much more fun when he was full og coke in tv intervies.

He is Travolta in the 70s. America moves on to rhe next thing a bit too fast , thats why its hard to break that market

Paradoxically, I encounter many successful people who are pretty stupid who have become successful mostly because they weren’t smart enough to realize the risks that might make a more intelligent person agonize over the decision ( treating it as a type 1) . So due to their own ignorance they actually make the correct decision where as the objectively smarter person became too worried about making any mistake at all and was too risk averse to try it.
