Morrissey/Robbie Brits duet that never was - "I Like You"

posted by davidt on Friday February 11 2005, @09:00AM

Sir Alf writes:

On ITV2's atrociously cheap Brits backstage gossip programme (aired straight after the televised event itself) Robbie Williams proclaimed that he and Morrissey WERE due to perform a duet. The song was to have been "I Like You" ending with a Britney/Madonna style kiss between the two of them which Robbie was pleased to do, adding that he wasn't gay(!). But it all fell apart after Morrissey decided to pull out at the last minute. One can only wonder…

Balls (Score:0)

Williams is a complete fantasist, and has a lot of "previous" to prove it. The closest this could possibly be to reality is they met, Moz said it as a joke, and then Robbie took it seriously. Morrissey would know all too well that would be the "kiss" of death.

A more charitible view is Robbie was joking himself, joking is such a nicer term than LYING.

If it could have ended with the performance.

But Robbie is obviously a very needy person and is constantly seeking attention from the press. He'll use any showbiz connections to get his name in the papers.

I don't think Morrissey needs to be dragged into that kind of world. We don't need to see quotes every day from Robbie revealing all about his best mate Moz.

I was one of the ones that supported the idea of Robbie Williams and Moz dueting, but having heard the song was to be 'I Like You' I'm very, very glad Moz pulled out.

Although Morrissey might appreciate certain aspects of Mr Williams, he's gone as record as saying he doesn't like his voice or the songs. Singing I Like You would have been one big love-in that, despite being tongue in cheek, would have had Williams playing up the cameras and causing Morrissey great embarrasment.

Anyway, Moz has got other concerns. One of his favourite people have annonced retirement:

If this is true, then this is exactly the kind of crap the Morrissey does not need to do. A duet with Robbie Williams? With a kiss at the end? I have no idea why Mozz would do this, as both actions are beneath a star of his stature.

Also, he's not the media whores that Britney and Madonna are. He has more class than either of those two. Then again, maybe the whole thing's a stupid lie.
