Why didn't the great Robbie Williams make it in US, while he's worshipped in the whole Europe ?

cos he doesn't want too..i mean he's already so popular in Europe and earns quite good money and also he doesn't want to live with the paparazzi all the time. U.S is the place, where he can escape from all the mess..

Iron Maiden , Belinda Carlisle, Roy Castle, and Harold Wilson all lived and had success in the United Kingdom.\nThey were all born in England except for Belinda Carlisle.

Wow... what a brilliant idea... only... its already been done! even American idol is a copy of the original Pop Idol from the UK. \n\nIn the UK a few years ago they even showed World Idol where they basically put all the winners of the Idol series around the world together and chose a World Idol. I think the winner was some ugly dude from Finland or Sweden. He sang U2's beautiful day. \n\nKelly Clarkson didn't compete in the World Idol series... perhaps she thought she was too good? or she didn't need the extra publicity?

I think he would still be pretty popular even if he wasn't with the beatles. So many people loved his music when he wasn't with them, so why wouldn't they like it if he never was with them!?!?!?

I think it is fairly safe to assume he is American.  It is a common misconception over there that England and Great Britain (he couldn't even spell it) are the same thing.  Ronald Regan once came here and called it England.

10 seconds of fame indeed.  "You're Beautiful" was a huge hit.  But I'm sure his record company is done with him now.  For the next 10 years or so we'll probably hear that song in makeup commercials and love scenes on the O.C.  O well.  Perhaps he'll remain big in the UK

Well sorry but technically  Ringo or Phil can't match with such a guys like Steve Smith, Chobam, Blackwell, Cameron Clayton, Steve Gadd. Another thing is popularity- than there is other factors.

Their are alot of bands from europe that get alot of coverage and sell albumns, while over here they have a very small following or have only had one hit single. That is because of cultural diferrences. Right now the majority of people in North America want synthetic pop, generic rock bands, rap and r&b. In North America people pay more attention to what is marketed for them to listen to, while people in Europe look at bands like Nightwish and bands with a great deal of musical talent. If you look at the simple puritanical and ethnic begginings of north american culture and business and the deeper more musicaly influential european culture with mozart, bach, beetoven and even more modern like The Rolling Stones and The Beatles you see why europe goes with better music and america goes with the most generic. Also in the past 25 years the USA has been closing itself off to the rest of the world, and controlling the stimuli through mass marketing to make the people as numb as possible. The current music trend in the USA is evidence of this.

Mostly they are sited in the north-west of the country, near the English Channel. Consequently, if anything goes wrong Britain will probably cop it before the rest of "La Belle France". Typical underhanded Froggie trick!

I think his song is pretty good and deserved to win Eurovision. And no, he's not gay! May be he dancing can be classified as gay! But he's a hottie anyways!

for the most part, america enjoys mainstream music and the oldies. it's all about following a musical trend. making something that's easy to listen to. lately, hip hop, rap, and acoustic have been having a great run on american airwaves...\n\neuropean acts release their material in europe earlier than they do in the US. it just makes sense. james blunt's cd came out in europe in summer '05 and it came out in the US several months later. if a european act bombs in the european market, then they probably won't make it in the states.

I love him!!  He has recently been touring here in the UK as I went to see him, so he might be doing all of europe, in which case you'll have a bit of a wait!\n\nHe is so good, and did a cover of White stripes Door bell, sounded amazing.

Not really. I think I read a couple of years back that he wasn't bothered about making it in the US. In Canada I've heard five of his songs on various radio stations over the last six years, but they never seem to get any further than playing the lead single off his albums.  Funny thing happened to me last year, I wanted the "Intensive care" album for Christmas and was in my local HMV - and we couldn't find any copies, so I'm persuming there's a few other fans in my area.

Aye, I think 'twas probably meant to be in Europe.  In the prelude to 'The Hobbit', Tolkien specifically makes reference to the fact that 'we scarecely see hobbits today, as they have become shy of the Big People'.  Tolkien's Elvish languages are based heavily on Finnish and Gaelic, and Tolkien developed the history of Middle Earth partially to give England its very own mythology.  The Arthurian legends, for example, were based very heavily on Christian themes which evolved well south of what would become Great Britain.
