Seems Poptones man Alan McGee shares the sentiments of his most famous signings when it comes to all things Robbie Williams. The Gallaghers have dissed Robbie quite a bit over the years, of course, and now McGee has laid in too. He told BBC 6Music that he couldn't understand why Robbie was so popular compared to the likes of Elton John and George Michael, saying: "These people are brilliant, world class musical talents. Robbie's just a showbiz chancer. It's people like him who are destroying British pop culture. He has one per cent of Mick Jagger's talent. He's the post 9/11 feel good factor. He doesn't mean anything. He's utterly vacant".
