      When Robbie Williams in 1995 from the wildly popular boy band Take That were put, few still gave a penny for his career. But behold, seven years later, the other into oblivion and is Robbie become the most popular pop star of Europe. Williams was so smart to move away from its jongensgroepverleden and musical connection to look for when Britpop sound of Oasis and Blur. After a rock group to have formed around him, he picked up during the many performances the audience in with bravado and pure uitsloverij. Robbies qualities as a performer forced even the risky outing with songs of The Ratpack (Swing When you're Winning, 2001) was successful. With Williams's Escapology embroiders on the solid pop rock sound of his previous success albums. It is now a well-known formula but as long as Robbie with strong songs as Something Beautiful and Monsoon comes up, he remains the undisputed sole ruler of the no man's land between boybandpop and Britpop.
