Robbie Williams Doesn’t Translate In The U.S.

The Mirror is blasting Robbie Williams appearances on the Tonight Show and the Late Late Show earlier this week. Showbiz agent Jonathan Shalit explained, “For years he’s got away with this cheeky chappy image in the UK – but it just doesn’t translate to America. Here, a generation have grown up with Robbie but in America he’s nobody. He has to start from scratch and he hasn’t done anything to endear himself to the public. You can’t go on a major American chat show and start singing their national anthem without people asking ‘who the hell does he think he is?’ If an unknown American went on Parkinson and started taking the mickey out of ‘God Save The Queen’ we’d react in the same way.”
