he looks like he's off his face!!!!

Ok maybe you could say it was nerves & a huge adrenalin rush at his first live performance in years that caused those W.I.R.E.D eyes but i think it was more likely to be something else.... But i thought he was clean????

X factor is amazing this year.. Alexandras performance was amazing and dannii had alot of guts to apologize on live tv good on her

he did appear that he was taking something, i hope as time goes on it will be more comfortable for him to perform once again, keep it up robbie

he's the most overrated pop star in the world. He's a one hit wonder that wont go away.

Off his face !!!!!

Robbie was absolutely amazing. What a guy! Glad he's back. F*** all the critics, they know sh*t!

alex was really good.. didnt evan realise she was miming!! robbie was good but looked a bit wired.. hope he aint on the drugs again lol

He looks buzzing

Leave Robbie alone he has paid his dues.Alex was great though she has the makings of a great performer.

ANON - how is he a one hit wonder with 6 No 1 singles, the highest record deal since michael jackson, 2 brit awards and 3 no1 albums, Millenium, swing when your winning and Escapology! GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!!! his concert was the best i had ever been too and i wasnt even a fan and iv seen the likes of kylie, bon jovi, cher! i thought both acts were amazing and im glad to see robbie back! good bit of British talent :o) i love both their new songs and am looking forward to seeing whitney and cheryl next week! the guest acts are better than the actual show itself this year haha!

alexandra sang live?!

Ahhh i think it was just nerves and he may be on medication to help him get over his problems! GLAD to c you back sexy Robster!!!! such a sweetie! LOL! Hardly a one hit wonder 5 Hes been around for years and won 2 brit awards- the only performer to do that. Glad hes back hes lovely!

Both acts were gr8 and no one should moan about Alexandras performance it waas amazing. everyone I have spoken to loved it and I think it will be a hit with everyone. Well Done Alexandra and Robbie

too bad alexandra is so ugly to look at. robbie ur songs are so 5 years ago its a whole new style these days and i changed the channel as soon as robbie came on. he can perform dont get me wrong

Leave Robbie alone, he's amazing, n5 get a grip

ALEX WAS SH*T. SERIOUSLY, SHE WON A SINGING SHOW AND SHE MIMES!? I LOVED ROBBIES PERFORMANCE, AT LEAST HE SANG LIVE

He had been crying because his driver drove over a young paparazzi.

Alex sang live!!!! just used a backing track to help her out on bits cos of the dancing...thought her performance was amazing...Robbie is just boring now..

yeh lol i found his eyes scary too-- he seems differnt.

Alex mimed?! always thought she was over rated.. Cheryl will mime too cos shes a crap singer

He looked like he had enjoed a few cocktails prior to his performance, perhaps it included Vicodin, Oxycontin, and MDMA! WIRED is a total understatement, although I love the fact that all of the papers have failed to mention the fact he was off his face, but pounced on Kerry Katona/ Tara PT when she did a similar performance!

Erm think he may have snorted a few lines before getting on stage!!

Really enjoyed robbies performance although he def looked like he was on something! As for alex... Pah.... miming on the show she won??? not good.. p*ss poor song too... she'll go the way of Steve Brookstein, Leon Jackson and Shayne Ward soon enough.. and good ridance

Alexandra was bloody AMAZING, whereas Robbie was AVERAGE and HIGH/OFF HIS FACE!!! I love Dannii Minogue! Cheryl is a trollop for not choosing to keep Kandy Rain. Least they can sing live. Lets see who will be miming next week shall we....

Robbie Williams is a complete joke. He was more interested in lapping up the attention from the crowd than putting in a performance. He tried to be clever by doing an Ian Brown style song and then turns up to do a show thinking he is still in Take That from 15 years ago.

I was in the audience for this show last night. Robbie was the only live performer, he had the band and string section set up during the interval and he was fantastic, live on stage, in front of me. However, Alexandra Burke who is a good singer herself sung to a backing track Watch both acts again. And it is very easy to see who was the live act and who wasn't.

ROBBIE IS BACK ON THE COKE.... WHY DO YOU THINK HE LOST THE WEIGHT SO FAST SO OBVIOUS HES ALWAYS DONE IT

HE'S A SMACKHEAD AND ALWAYS WILL B

Jack: OVCOUSE ALEXANDRA IS GOING TO HAVE A BACKING TRACK. MOST F***ING ARTISTS DO. HAVE YOU HEARD THE SONG???????????? IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THAT TUNE LIVE APART FROM THE SINGING WHICH SHE DID SING LIVE!!!!!!!!!

he is f//ked!! 100% wasted...oh dear Robbie!

he looked like he was on drugs!!!

Robbie was amazing and at least he sang live!

well said sarah! Robbie has never mimed!! hes a good artist! if you dont like him F**K OFF!! bunch of haters!!! he aint hurting anyone so he can do what the f**k he likes!! its his money and his life! hes a amazing!!

Alexandra only mimed in parts. mainly towards the end when she was running out of breath n doin more moves. she was AMAZING...probably the best comback perfroamne

Alexandra is amazing.. she wasn't miming! Robbie was embarrassing.

hmmm...very strange...something was definatley up with him last night but its so funny how people jump to conclusions...y not wait to hear what he has to say about it before you jump down his neck for being a 'junkie'! And i would love to see any of you lot doing such an energetic routine and not have a little bit of back up help...she quite clearly sang alot of it herself...roll on next week! x

Clearly off his head ......

he was great but his eyes were drugged up as your pics show!! and talking in the middle of singing all the time ????????/

well said 37!! i heard he had been crying because of a car accident involving his driver and a young pap!!!! im sure he will say something, hes a very honest guy! and very talented!! ROLL ON NEXT WEEK!! 38.. your just jealous, you wish you had just a touch of his talent hater!!!!

SHAME ON YOU ALEXANDRA FOR MIIIIIIIIMING! LEONA WOULDN'T HAVE MIMED. I WOULDN'T MIND BUT HER DANCING WAS SH*T... SHE MIGHT ASWELL HAVE STOOD STILL AND SANG LIVE... FLO RIDA SUCKS A**E BUT LURRRRRVE ROBBIE! XXX

just cuz his eyes were windeeeeee open u lot think he off his head god go get a grip its not like he was fallin over the place and missin his words

It's a shame Alex mimed! Oh and i think Rob has had botox.....

Blobby Williams = The New Amy Wino.

I thought he was great, but I have to say he looked smashed out of his skull!!

Is he on drugs?

Alex sung live over a backing track-she is a great singer and performed well.All the haters are just jealous it was an amaaing performance from her and you know it. Robbie was over the top but good as well.

There's other performers out there who dance more then she did and still manage to sing live!! Alex is over rated, so is Cheryl she'll mime too.

omg alex did not mime! i cnt believe dat ppl r sooo stupid dat dey cnt tell she was singin live. it was sooo obvious! she had a backing track but her mic was louder it so it was just for extra strength on the courus she roks. rob was boring..

It looks like he is on ecstasy. Look at the eyes! Lol.

This is so stupid!!! How can people honestly think she mimed. Watch it. She even stops singing at points and goes a tiny bit out of tune like most artists do. Some people are so stupid.

We were all convinced he was on something.

SHE WAS NOT MIMING !!!!!!! IT WAS A BACKING TRACK !

That not true Alex song the bad boys live. Get your fact right.

Alex was NOT MIMMING she was singing live to a backing track. Which is totally different from Minning. Her live version was totally different from the record also. No one said Alex was minning only your blog. Alex doesn't need to mimm she a great singer

alexandra wasnt even miming! listen to the studio version then listen to the xfactor performance, there's a difference (in a good way) she won a singing contest, how could she come back and mime? seriously guys, get you heads screwed on.

I just didn't have the nerves to watch all of Robies william performance. After much hipe about his come back his performance was disgusting. But I have seen Alexandras video over 10 times. It is great

Why cant people just leave Robbie alone! He has done his stint in rehab...been off drink drugs and prescription drugs (if any of you read the interviews he does) for years, thats why he has been out of the spot light! Maybe he was just very excitable and nervous after coming back after 3 years!!!!

Oh Alex soooo mimed! They record the track live and mime it, thats why it sounds live....Its what all the stars do when dancing etc. Britney spears does it on her concerts.

Yes Alex did sang LIVE, she that good. Alex, even come out of tune half way but came back stonger. Alex is singing live with a back up tape. so of you haters did to respect her great talent. Alex DOES NOT NEED TO MINNE SHE EXTREMELY TALENTED.

35 YOU ARE TALKING RUBBISH, Alex sang ALL OF THE THE SONG LIVE. You are just a hater who is bitter. Anyone can tell she was singing live her voice sound rich and raw and totally different from the actual record. half way her voice become weaker but came back stronger and she was great. just layoff her you are just jealous. Alex didn't mimmed any of the song, that her song she got a very deep voice and a very strong singing voice.

27, I was also in the audience and Alex was singing live, to a back up tape. Alex doesn't need to mimme. ITV or Alex record company was cheap not to provide Alex with a real band. You are talking rubbish. Alex was live and she was the best.

59, what you are saying doesn't make sense. Firstly Britney Spears isn't a real singer and she does mimme. Alex never mimmed in X-Fator 08 were she sang harder songs then bad boys. Beyonce Whitney Dion, Mariah all sing live. You are listening to the wrong singers. Alex sounded raw and her voice is very strong. Noway was Alex mimming you are just a bitter hater. Alex was singing live and she was the best thing on the show. Are you Leona Lewis PR people?

he looked liked he was on something

63. As a matter of fact she was miming!...I know someone who works on part of the team!! Why dont you try one day dancing around and singing all the high notes at the same time! Out of breath i think! She sounded too perfect for that..Im not saying she is not good, I think she is very good! They all do it when they have a fast track to sing!

alexandra sang live, thank you very much. she did not mime, so people who think that she did are completely wrong. She a backing track like an echo, which would help her because of the dancing and i think that is fine. alexandra was great and simon cowell said that she was amazing. so HA!!!!

He (Robbie) "looked like he was on something!". Why are you moaning about it? Half the slutty, scruffy council estate women in Britain look like they've been on drugs, and visited a hor house at that. Yet I don't see you making a complaint about THAT! You want your child hanging with people like that? Oh, drugs are only such a crime when ROBBIE takes them, but if your child took any, you'd let them keep it up, and they'd DIE, early. The type of people who let their kids die from hanging with estate scum/criminals. YOU people should take a long look at your OWN lives.

No she was NOT MIMMING, why are you so bitter and jealous? Tina Turner don't mimming. Alex didn't mimmed when she was on X factor 08. Anyway Alex will be sing once again LIVE on MTV. She will be sing LIVE AND DIRECT ON MTV. Alex doesn't need to mimme.

65, Alex, have be singing in the church, were we jump up and down. who is this person on her so-called team? She had no need to mimmed on E-factor 08 so why should she mimmed now. You are lying, Alex hadn't got a team, I was there in the audience. Alex come out of tune half way singing bad boy, if she was mimming its would sound just like the record and perfect. Alex is great you are just a bitter jealous vile person.

Alexandra Burke was singing live. Get over yourself, Mr Paparazzi is a vile ugly lowlife.

Alexandra DO NOT NEED TO MIMME she that GOOD GET OVER YOUR JEALOUS HATEFUL SELF.

Alex DID NOT MIMMED, SHE THAT GOOD. WATCH HER LIVE ON MTV........SHE GREAT GET USE TO IT!!!!!!

Alex DID NOT MIMMED, SHE THAT GOOD......GET USE TO IT. YOU ARE A BITTER HATER WITH NO LIFE AND YOU ARE VERY JEALOUS. YOU KNOW NO ALEX PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE NO PEOPLE WHO ASSOCIATED WITH HER YOU KNOW. YOU ARE JUST A EVIL JEALOUS LIAR.

Alexandra Burke, do not need to mimed. Alexandra, was singing live, she was a bit out of tune as someone pointout. Ms Burke, is a real talent. I will be purchasing her album and single. Well done Alexandra.

ANYONE who seriously believes that Alexandra didn't mime needs to get to a decent opticians. It was so obvious. The only "live" bit of singing was Flo Rida and that wasn't worth whatever they paid him to turn up. If you're not going to sing for real on a singing talent show as a guest, don't bother turning up. LIVE means LIVE or you may as well be Britney Spears.

im a music expert and alex was NOT miming... so for all you stupid people who believe the papers why dont you watch the f****** performence again yourselfs and then say sumfin, and shes better then leona who cant move on stage. leona has a great voice but i believe to have the X FACTOR you have to have the whole packege and ALEXANDRA BURKE has that shes SEXY,SHE CAN DANCE and SHE CAN SING! leona can only do ballads. alex can do it all so SAY SOMETHING.

ALEX DIDN'T MIME! - She had an earpiece in which is a sure fire sign she's singing live, you could hear the way in which the level of her voice changed when she pulled the microphone further from her mouth and when singers sing live when doing upbeat tracks and are dancing they need a backing track to support the voice a little. People think she was miming because as usual her voice was faultless as it was on the X Factor but it doesn't mean she's miming. As for Robbie, even though his performance was... different... he still is as entertaining and as fab as ever!

I thought Robbie did great, he had a lot to live up too, it was his comeback, at least he did mim!!!

alexandra burke was the best because she put all her effect in and cool personality and also i lve her cause she so cool and she can sing so u go girl gd luck alexandra ...by way hope u do some cool post cause i wnt 1 and i couldn't find onexxx

Hes over rated and needs help

All, as #77 rightly says, Alex didn't mime and its confirmed by the monitor ear pieces she took out at the end of the song. These are used by singers who sing LIVE so they can hear themselves ("Monitor") to ensure they keep in key.

i hate the x factor and everyone thats on it, such a bunch of mugs cant believe ppl watch shows like that, come on ppl get a grip dont buy into all the fame wannabes, everything on it is about making a mug of you and them makin all the money !!

Alex is going to the BBC were they make up these lies and she going to sing live once again. The BBC is just jealous. They dance show is a big bore just like BBC

A backing tape is a modern day technology for back up singers. Alex was singing live to a backing tape, it's her record company that should have provided her with back up singers. The back type did what backup singers would usually do.

Let's get real, the man who run this blog is from OZ, I am from Australia, the average Australia is ugly racist and fat. Just like this man running this blog. I am white I been to Australia I also a big fan of MJ. In Queenland Aboriginal people had to carry pass books like in aparthied South Africa. Now here comes this beautiful extremely talented singer this man, have to run her down. This isn't PC just look at the tribute band for the Jackson, that what Austrialians think is talent to be vile racist. Alex did not mimmed, it was makeup by the BBC because they rubbish show isn't putting in the viewers. Chery said she didn't mimmed I no fan of Chery either. Alex is real talent.

yeah id much rather watch some over rehearsed 'artist' mime in a miniskirt than a genuine performer not quite get it perfect and be humbled and overawed by the experience.... ... NOT! dont come on stage and pretend to sing. at least have a go. or dance along to your backing track but leave the mic at home

He looked as high as a kite his eyes where like flying saucers to say the least

robbie williams is so much more better then that alexander wahtever it's called she is so ugly and i hate her where has even come from i 've heard of her and all ready hate her robbie williams has been out longer and hopefuly should stay like that he should'nt change his life because of his fans

alex ddnt mime she sang live but had a backing track for the more complicated dance moves, and this rtical ddnt say for a fact she sng live, they said they find it hard to believe cos of the good singing long woth the dancing ITS OPINION. alex sang live for the tours and she was brilliant, so why cant she do it now, she defo sang live.. robbie can piss off, dude cant even hold simple tune, nad there wsnt much singing actually involved in his sing, just droans

High as a kite

Wow... some people have really time to waste for coming here especially to tell bad things about Rob... don't be jealous guy, he's got talent and you don't? He's sexy and you're not? Life can be cruel, that's true... but when you don't get any talent, you're quite ugly, don't be also that stupid!

I'm not convinced it was drugs. My view is that he was nervous of the crowds reaction before he went on. It looked to me like he was trying not to cry after his performance because of the relief of being cheered and not booed. Remeber this was his first performance for a few years and I think he's a fairly paranoid guy. Rich

rubbish he was just buzzing off the fact that he was welcomed by the audience, he is great and nice to see him back he looked like he ws s******g himself!!!!!!!!!

Check out the new Single “The Ballad Of Robbie Williams” on Youtube

dont be jealous of robbie because hes got every thing all the women going nuts for him found love good luck to him he s made it will be nice to see little robbies running around buy the way robbie was excited thats all not drugged up first time back after three years

i did not think robbie was that good, maybe the hype was more exciting than the real thing. But then again i do not like him at all. But his songs are usualy good, but this one is mostly talking. But Alexandra was great, totally watchable whereas Robbie was not. Sorry.
