***Robin Thicke***

[coachkitten]

^^Oprah really, really likes him. It bugs me how people keep saying he is a "new artist". He has been around a long time and this CD of his has been around since last year!

I am glad he is getting noticed more too!

yeah, i got his cd a few months ago. "lost without you" is, of course, fabulous. "shooter" is my other fave.

oh, and his dad is dr. seaver from growing pains!!

If you don't know what I am talking about. Google some pictures of him and see if you can find the OLD(ER) ones before he got all Mr. GQ!

haha, i remember this, I got his first album in like 2004, i used to play it all the time, and make my fiance listen to it too! We still just refer to him as "thicke" as well since thats what he used to go by. When the video for lost without u came out i was like...."okkkk...wtf happened to him? he used to be all scraggly and earth child-ish." as in...:

The man has got serious talent though, like his own songs, and I'm preeeeety sure hes written songs for a gazillion other people. Like Jordan Knight. His whole solo album was pretty much written by him (I'm ashamed to say I know this cos I own it and once read the insert...

haha) And Will Young. He's prob not known in the US but he's the original UK pop idol winner...and loads more I forget!

AH-HA, that is the Robin Thicke or Thicke I used to know! I have to admit I like his upgrade but it was a huge one. I definitely thought he was going to stay in his earth-child, love my long hair way. Him being what he is today is such a huge shock. But he looks good but I definitely still thought he looked good when he was in his earth child days.

Thicke wrote for Will Young (I know him, I know him -- I've been to London so many times)?! That is cool. I know he's written and produced for a lot of artists. He has got tremendous talent!

That's the guy I remembered too!

He's a changed man. And don't be ashamed about the Jordan Knight album

"Anything goes when I give it to you, without a doubt I'll turn you ouuut...." That song used to be on heavy rotation.

I remember his former look and style but I like him better now. Actually, I remember when he first but his hair and had the video for Brand New Jones and he looked like a freaking Beetle or something. I was not happy. I figured his record company pressured him to change his look and everything. It all seemed so forced. They even changed the name of the album from Cherry Blue Skies to A Beautiful World.

Yeah, his first album, I think...I was kinda shocked to find that out at first for some reason. Also cos i was bored and interested the other day, I was looking at his wikipedia, and he's actually worked with so many people! Like, Usher, Christina Aguilera, Brandy, Mya and Michael Jackson! All a bit of a step up from Jordan Knight haha! I noticed the other day his dad actually helped make the different strokes theme tune as well...musical family!

Haha yeah, when I was like fourteen I LOVED that album! I guess it wasn't that bad really, apart from the fact that its Jordan Knight. I thought he was soooo hot, but then recently he was on a reality t.v show in the UK, about holiday reps, and he spent the entire time lusting after this really trashy "model" we have over here called jodie marsh. That put me right off him! my dreams were shattered *sob*

I prefer his look before personally I think, after looking at this pic...and the Brand New Jones hair was ok...but then I like longer haired guys personally

He still looks great now though. I remember when I was looking to buy his first album and I had a choice between the two and I was so flummoxed by it...its not as if the first album was originally called "don't buy my album its rubbish"
