not. It wouldnt be much of a magic trick if he did, would it? The trick is done, i believe with a clever piece of makeup or patch of some kind. Derren Brown did a similar trick on Robbie Williams: http://www.videosift.com/video/Derren-Brown-Amazing-Mind-Control-Trick-Robbie-Williams

I love this song and the video and i'm not ashamed to admit it! Robbie Williams wasn't always a 24 carat cocksucker... well he was but then he did that godawful swing album, meh

While some people might disagree with me, I still think that this was (a lot) better than the original. One of my Sift-aspirations is building a playlist by that name, only I haven't found enough great covers yet. If you see any cover/remix/remaster here that you believe is better than the original, gimme a shout, will you?

That's not meant to subtract any value from Frank, of course. Added my upvote.

Yes, debuts generally are the best: these document the vision of the artist. Afterwards this vision is further developed (or copy-pasted too intensively, resulting in a suffocating status quo), sometimes leading to similar but better productions.

Talking about Robbie Williams:
Robbie Williams has gathered a whole team around him: Guy Chambers (wrote "Angel"), William Orbit (produced Madonna's Ray of Light), Andy Rourke (The Smiths), Peter Hook (New Order)..
A strategy to absorb more contemporary "alternative" influences in "his" music, to keep in touch with the current pop stream?
We'll hear what comes out of this collaboration.

Wonderwall is permamently etched in my memory..
..same counts for Blvd of Broken Dreams..
Both songs have a similar catchiness in the melody that is (too?) easily absorbed.

ughhhhhhh the oasis/coldplay link lasted 5 seconds for me before i had to nuke it. that first album was only good because they didn't give a fuck and weren't famous. The recordings were great. And rough. As soon as people told them they were good, they became shit. Spent too much money in the studio. singalong robbie williams crap. you are right about limitations being important.

Liam Gallagher is a great vocalist though. And wonderwall's a great song, so long as you were around to hear it when it first came out, and now you don't actually listen to it

oh, and.. er... i don't do green day any more either, it's just too close to coldplay First albums always rule though. Unless you're blur, in which case the difficult second is actually the best.

stop rambling? who said that?

I would love to see a video that showed a few of the more notable cover versions - because there are many and this one isn't particularly outstanding.

You know I bet that serial abuser of cover songs, Robbie Williams has done a version. That guy is awful.

They don't call you wildman for nothin'. It is a song about these lynchings. If there was a Aryan NAtion, Scissorfight, or Robbie Williams song playing along with it or the Merrie Melodies theme (which you upvoted), then I would be with you.

You should see how Lars von Trier uses these images at the end of Manderlay. Now THAT is provocation.

Seems like your standard popstar video. Until about 3 minutes in...

This video was banned or censored almost everywhere, and apparently the controversy over it in the US didn't do his career any good.
Shame, cause as indifferent as I am towards Robbie Williams, this video is utterly fantastic.
