Gestern war der erste Auftritt nach 3-jähriger Bühnenabstinenz und man hat es ihm angesehen. Er war mega-nervös, seine Stimme und sein Timing waren alles andere als perfekt, aber er ist wieder da und er hat es immer noch drauf…. *schmacht*

In seinem Blog schreibt er seine Sicht der Dinge:

What A Hoot ! loved it…

I wasn’t as nervous as i thought i was going to be…Until The friggin sliding door wouldn’t open….

Rehearsals went well..Though, Bodies isn’t the easiest of songs to perform and getting back into the swing of things has felt somewhat alien. I did feel like “Yeah, i can pull this off”……

Anyway, Back in the dressing room waiting to go on Wasn’t the dreadful anxiety fest that i thought it was going to be..
I hung out with the contestants,got my hair did, went and said hello to Simon, had some sushi and waited….

“All right Rob, It’s time to go” Back pack’s on It’s working, Legs feel stable, head’s in the right place…let’s do it…

For extra confidence i started to hum the theme tune from Rocky in my head…..it was working…So relaxed, So excited, Goosepimply in fact…..

So i’m stood behind the Jumbo screen waiting to go and peacock…Dermot does a lovely introduction “Blah,blah,blah..lovely stuff and niceties…Ladies and gentlemen Robbie Williams!”

At this point in the rehearsals the music starts….The doors open…..BUT LIVE…..The music starts…The Doors don’t open..
So we’re a few seconds in And the doors remain closed a few more seconds and they’re still closed……

Now i don’t know if you’ve ever had 10 million (plus) people ready to judge you on your first performance back in 3 years….
But let me tell you, if the door between you and them isn’t opening that’s enough to throw you right off your stride..I don’t know if you saw but i had to wedge it open myself…That wasn’t part of the show..That was pure brute strength and now heavy nerves shifting something that i probably wouldn’t be able to move in the cold light of day……..

So there’s a bad start..I had a whole pose planned and what not.. but that went out of the window…

Anyway i was so thrown that i started saying to myself….”OH GOD,what did God give me? shit Did he give me sunshine or a lay line?OH lord oh lord”
Then the mouth opened and by the grace of the big man himself the right words fell out……Oh praise be! I’m in!….

So after a bizarrely odd start to the 3.30 minutes i started to find my feet…..

The audience were Immense and the Love in the room was palpable……It all felt so electric….Like 3 years of anxiety leaving my body

So happy right now…So pleased…I think the boy’s back

Es war schon mal angekündigt, jetzt wurde es zum 2. Mal bestätigt, Robbie tritt endlich mal wieder live im britischen Fernsehen auf und zwar bei der Show X-Factor (das deutsche Äquivalent dazu ist glaube ich “Das Supertalent”, man möge mich berichtigen, ich kenn mich in dieser TV-Sparte nicht wirklich aus).

We’re very excited to finally be able to confirm that Robbie will feature in the new series of the hit TV show X Factor next month.

He will be performing the world exclusive of his new single, Bodies, live on the show, which will be Robbie’s first performance in the UK since 2006.

“I’m a huge fan of The X Factor,” said Robbie about his upcoming appearance on the show. “Of course I’ll be watching every week, just like everyone else.”

How exciting… we’ll certainly be tuning in to see him perform Bodies!
