Nick Grimshaw is an idiot.

 

But he is spot on.

 

 

** Goes and hides behind sofa...

I find his breakfast show rather repetitive - and its only just started!!

I don't listen to Radio 1 but I got that memo about Robbie Williams ages ago.

Boo!

Agrees..

I like grimmy I only listen to the show for 10 mins on my way to work, sometimes.. I cannot stand the music on radio 1 now and end up station hopping as soon as they play a song!

I don't listen to Radio 1 and I've not heard the song, but given that's it's number 1 I don't see how it can be called 'not relevant'?

Maybe he's got a point..........cos TBH I haven't listened to Radio 1 in god knows how long 

I don't listen to any radio station but I like listening to Robbie's music, great entertainer

I don't much like music radio............it's soooooooooo repetetive

What does 'relevant' mean anyway?  Robbie has hardly been cutting edge at any point in his career.  Relevant to whom?  I expect he's relevant to his fans just as the Stones are relevant to theirs.  Did Radio One deem the younger Robbie as 'relevant' ten years ago when he was doing his cheesy, Vegas old timers' ersatz Sinatra routine ten years ago?

It was the people at Radio 1 that decide the playlists & stuff that decided Robbie did not fit their target audience...    (Radio 1 has been told it has to reach a younger demographic - they had to agree to achieve this as part of some negotiations to do with license fees - yeah, I don't know the ins & outs of it - google will tell you more!)

 

Anyways...   it was just poor Grimmy that got collared to give a statement about it...  he had to support the stations official stance on this.

 

That said, I don't think Grimmy is a secret fan of Robbies music (though he did say he likes Robbie as a person).

 

I like Grimmy - his breakfast show is a vast improvement on the Chris Moyles ego show!   

 

But the playlists are a bit crap - but its the mediocre pop music of the teen demographic (hey - it can take a few years to develop some taste )

 

 

I do think had "Candy" been any good they might have given him a few plays...   it is an atrocious bit of tosh though.    I like some of Robbies past songs..   but this offering reminded me of when Adam Ant released "Puss n boots" 

 

How on earth did he go from "Let me Entertain You", "Angels", even "Rock DJ" to this current bit of tiddldy dee crap?

 

I don't fit the new demographic target audience btw ...   

 

they'd be gutted I like the new formats (still loving Zane Lowes show, & Scott Mills) 

 

every now & then I switch over to Radio 2 and within seconds realise that whilst I might not be the desired audience for Radio 1 anymore...  I have soooo not reached an age where Radio 2 'speaks to me' 

 

 

(does admit to listening to Radio 4 a bit though )

I couldn't listen to Radio 1 if you paid me.    I listen to Absolute Radio in the mornings - they crack me up and I like their music too. 

Isn't that something to do with him no longer writing with Guy Chambers who helped write his best song? 

I think Robbie is as much of a tosser now as he always was Or are we talking just about his music?

I stopped listening to Radio one when they first announced they wouldn't be playing songs any older than a 2 years old way back in the nineties 

 

If I listen to the radio (and that's very rare) I listen to Kerrang 

I listen to 5live and Planet Rock. Radio 1 used to be good up to the late '80 early '90. I didn't mind a bit of Chris Moyles now and again. He seems harmless enough really.

 

Chris Moyles - One of the reasons why I avoided Radio One for so long.

Even though I am a northern lad, they can keep him down south.

I listen to Christov, Ken Bruce, and Vine. Sunday morning R4. R5 on a night. But otherwise I plug my electronic iPod into the gramophone system. They tend not to play my sort of music on the radio. Though to be fair Mr Bruce played King Crimson after the pop quiz a few weeks back.

In the mid week chart Robbie's still number 1 and playing now on radio one

Haha, they read out a 4 week old chart!! Got the number 1 right but the rest were wrong so they had to do the run down again!
