„Als sich Mick Jagger zur WM in einem Stadion einfand, sah man Jagger gleich, in seiner veilchenfarbenen Bluse wirkte er wie eine südenglische Gräfin, wie ein Rockstar also. Robbie Williams wirkt noch immer wie ein Lad, ein nordenglischer Flegel, der sich nur in grellem Licht verwandelt.“
„So kommt es, dass der Rockstar aus Finnland seit Jahren immer wieder in der Jury von The Voice of Germany sitzt.“
