Robbie Defends Rudebox

Robbie Williams

The singer’s rap efforts weren’t appreciated by everyone, but he doesn’t give a (back) flip…

Robbie Williams has admitted to MTV that 'Rudebox' is his favourite of his own tunes, despite many people being less than kind about it.

“It has a very special place in my heart,” he said. “I think out of any Robbie Williams song I’ve written, I’ve listened to 'Rudebox' the most. I’ve played it to death; it’s almost worn out my computer.”

Talking about the mixed reaction from fans to the track, he went on, “It’s confused me. Lots of people have said, ‘We don’t like it, we don’t get it’, but to me it’s really strong – it’s more of a single than 'Trippin’' was. I personally love it.”

But it’s not just Rudebox Robbie’s been blasting from his stereo – he’s also been blaring out a certain JT tune.

“I downloaded Justin’s song ‘SexyBack’ and play it before I get on stage in the evenings on this tour,” he ‘fessed.

“I do see similarities (with Rudebox) – it’s very funky and of a dance nature. I like Justin.” Bless!

Meanwhile, contrary to reports over the weekend that Robbie has checked into rehab, his spokeswoman told MTV.co.uk, "Robbie hasn't admitted himself to the Priory, but is at home resting in LA before he continues with the tour."
