Episode: "I Think You Owe Me An Apology" (w/ Dave Holmes)
Dave Holmes described Robbie Williams as the perfect pop star, unique in his self-aware and campy persona, which didn't translate as well to American audiences.
He strikes a tone that nobody else in the culture does and that is why he is not big in the United States.
He is the perfect pop star, yeah, he's sort of in on his own joke. It's a little bit like it's kind of a character, he's like larger than life and like, and sexy and it's just it just doesn't work. We can't we don't know what to do with those boys.
He tried it a couple of times in the States with 'Millennium' and then 'Angel' and he had like, I'm loving angels instead that's the one Jessica Simpson would go on to do a more popular version.
