Is Robbie Williams's single any good?

The beginning reminds me of an Ice Cube song. Considering who he is I think, maybe, he's trying to be too young by attempting to do the rap thing and it's just not working. It's a bit like when he was doing 'Rock DJ' and he went round with no clothes on - that wasn't good. I'm not a fan and that doesn't change my mind.

I really like Robbie Williams but I'm not sure about 'Rudebox' at all. His voice sounds really weird, and I prefer it when he sings more melodic ballads that have a bit of a tune. My favourites are older songs like 'Angel' or 'Eternity'. I have to say I wouldn't buy this single. You never know, it might grow on me but I think it is pretty unlikely.

I have to admit that I don't know much about Robbie Williams, but I think I like him. I think I heard 'Rudebox' once when I was driving to London, but it kind of washed over me. Listening to it now, it does seem like a departure for him but I would probably have to listen to it a few times more to know if I like it or not.

He has certainly gone in a different direction: it's quite electro. Quite funky, with a deep bass line. I'm not really a massive Robbie Williams fan. I wouldn't normally listen to his music, but 'Rudebox' is different. It is pretty good and his rapping is all right, too. I could dance to that. He's done well.
