Robbie Williams has never been the kind of singer that shies away from a good challenge and I imagine we all learned that once the video for 'Let Me Entertain You' came out, the British star will do the same again, as he is now shooting for the clip for 'She's Madonna'.
For those who aren't in the know, the track is from Robbie's latest album, 'Rudebox', and it is the same that allegedly got movie director Guy Ritchie enraged. It all started after the singer recorded the song, played it to Madonna and she, thinking that it was some sort of homage or tribute paid to her, she gave it her 'blessing'.
Later on, the British press began writing (or, more likely, speculating) that the lyrics of the song were, in fact, not meant to sing Madonna's praise, but to attack her hubby Guy. The director, at the time he met his now wife, was in a relationship with TV presenter Tania Strecker that he broke off with the words 'Look, you know I really love you, but she's Madonna'.
Robbie couldn't pass this opportunity of making fun of such a public figure as Guy is and put down the entire thing in the lyrics of his song. As a matter of fact, the chorus for 'She's Madonna' include the same words with which Guy allegedly dumped poor Tania.
The video is now shooting in Los Angeles. The surprise that Robbie has for his fans doesn't consist in including images of the Material Girl or look-alikes of her but in the fact that he appears in drag. In the opening scenes, Robbie is seen in a black sparkling dress and a wig that resembles very much the one Uma Thurman wore in 'Pulp Fiction'. Add to that lots of black eyeliner and eyeshadow and smeared red lipstick and you know what to expect once the video comes out.
Meanwhile, you should totally check out the song below. Many say it's the best yet off his latest album and, truth be told, it does mark Robbie's return on the music stage... with a bang!
