X-FACTOR...
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

@RWisalmostGod. I have to say I loved your comment. p.s. I love ur username too :)
I didn't think the boy was ever away?!?!? You seem to give yourself too much grief ... still! No need ...." the Love in the room was palpable", of this I have NO DOUBT. Your audience adore you..... Accept it! Believe it! Comprehend it! Cause it is as easy as ABC. Take Care xxxxxx
The boy never left my heart! Without the boy this woman would feel much like an old crone here LOL!!! What would it be like to sit in front of an open fire or a tiny bedroom with You...or is that being rather forward. I once was accused of being rather forward thirty years ago by David Essex of the cockerknee variety :-( p.s I dont care if this sounds slutty but i lurve your dove tatoos....slurp!!!

I am reading last news and blogs and I found this blog comment, is incredible! I saw this performance recently on youtube by chance, when I saw the start and doors don't open and Rob has to open with hands, I think what they he do with doors, What annoyance for him!! but I don't know also how important was this show for Rob... And now, months later I want to say you that you're fantastic and you were always! a big hug. :-)

Half of X-factor, half of my bodie, all my life...50% distance...is good enough for you, hhun?
Glad you're back - you've been missed!!
Linda...What an awesome Idea for the x factor final!! Love that......
Hi Robbie, just got done watching X-factor and Olly is in the top three on to the finals...I think his best week was when he did your song...I think you two should hook and do Angels for the last X-factor show...you two would bring the house down....Olly to win and love you Robbie.
Great reviews in the LA Times and in Entertainment Weekly. Now you need to come to Nashville and perform!!! I swear I will see you live someday! I'm 47, better make it soon, doll :) :) :) Sincerely, your biggest fan in the USA. And I have the bumper stickers on my ride to prove it. Sticks out like a sore thumb in the land of twang, however :)

Well, I never watch xfactor so I caught your part in the show online and I didn't even notice the bloody door trouble, I doubt many did. A sterling performance mi luv :) x
Thats great Rob, I've waited for the boy to come back....and it's freekin' awesome congrats !!! XXOO
You were great, the boy is defo back <3 whoohoooo youve been missed mate xx
Woohoo, The boy is definately back!!! And I'm so glad you did. Watched your performance on YouTube. You looked & sounded great. Yes, a bit wobbly in the beginning, but hey after three years, that's not so weird. Did read about the doors (what are the odds, huh?) later, but I noticed after 3 minutes you looked more relaxed and you started to be more cocky funny. I loved your enthousiasm, it was really fun to watch so thanks for that! And please come soon to the Nehterlands!
X Factor was amazing!!! I panicked at the start cos the look on your face said that something was wrong...but I thought the door thing was part of your performance!! :0) Anyway....you absolutely ROCKED it! Love ya Rob...always have, always will! xxxx

you were incredible, rob. i saw the performance in youtube because i'm from Portugal and i loved every second of it. and it really felt like the beggining was on purpose so if you haven't told us about the doors situation, we wouldn't have even noticed! you were born to do this! please, please, don't ever leave us. And don't forget about Portugal if you go on tour. We love you here. :) lots of love from your biggest portuguese fan :)
u are the best. :)
I thought you rocked. It was good to see you back evene bigger and better. Can't wait to see you in the UK on tour...
Hi Robbie, you ain't half moved on. Cos' once you take the blue pill your music will never be same. Steady as you go Mate. It would be nice to talk one day. But if not, stay on the path. Those have ears to hear will hear, those that have eyes to see will see. Keems
hope u r ok just wanted to ask about yr ghost sightings gorsehhtptwitte twitter
I missed the x-factor, but long live the inventors from youtube!! I loved your performance... but lose the shoes :-) Good luck with everything xx
Mr Robbie Williams, you were ace and a delight to watch. You certainly entertain me! Welcome back, keep up the good work. Love you man.x
So glad you are back - your perfomance of x factor was INCREDIBLE not just the song which was fab but everything - you made us laugh and made the show more interesting - wish you could be on every week - ps my daughter age 9 loves your music too and says come on we want MORE !!!
to be brutaly frank you looked scared shitless ,but your back and im sure the confidence will return too ,your a top bloke rob .bless you .hope you do another tour soon we all miss you bro....
Hey Rob, I loved your performance at the X factor. You obviously could not wait to perform again that you decided to pull the doors open :-) ! I have noticed that the doors open quite slowly normally...I think it was you who could not wait to get in there! You were brilliant! Can't wait to see you live again. I have just listened to the taster of your new album. I love 'You know me' It is an instant. And Blasphemy. Also favorites: Do you mind and Wont do that. Only based on the short taste. Look forward to listening to it properly. Btw, Startstruck reminds me of Everything changes but you. Love that happy, class scented intro. Was that a homage? Although this song is a bit less romantic... Axx
hey robbie, it was fantastic watching u on x factor. you were amazing did nt even notice the doors did nt open for you was just excited to see you back. well worth the wait. keep rocking xx
THE ROB-STER IS BACK!! Watched your performance on the X factor and it was awesome! You look in great shape and I think you should seriously consider touring after the reception you got! Cant wait for the album! Take care Much love xxxx

Those who judge too harshly should have walked a mile in your shoes. Its not easy in the rooms (i think u know what i mean!) and facing ur demons. I hope I come through as strong as you have. Absolutely fab and very, very brave hun! Keep doin what u do, you should be very proud of ya self!! Lots a lovexx
