ROBBIE Williams attempted to break a world record at his concert last night when he asked 61 000 people to burp simultaneously.

He kept the audience at Loftus Versfeld dancing as well as laughing for almost three hours with his on stage antics.

Amongst the jokes made were jokes about Michael Jackson, his former band mates of Take That and Mick Jagger. Williams wondered aloud how the '106 year-old' rock star still manages to perform.

He also asked a woman in the front to bare her rather abnormally large breasts, which she did to the whole stadium. Williams was so ecstatic that he said he wanted to get the DVD of the concert.

Williams had everyone singing karaoke-style to all of his songs. During Strong, the giant screens featured gigantic scrolling lyrics so everybody could sing along.

Amidst clouds of smoke and fire, Williams rose up from under the protruding stage to start the show. Balls of fire shot out from the stage during the songs Radio and Let Me Entertain You and the heat from the flames could be felt outside golden circle.

During his stay in South Africa, Williams filmed a music video in Cape Town and used 18 of South Africa's hottest models. Williams said that he had never seen so many beautiful women as he did in South Africa but was sad to discover that most of them had boyfriends.

He also denied press reports that he did not want to meet Madiba. 'Viva Nelson Mandela!' he then said. Williams said South Africa had treated him and his crew so well that he couldn't express how he felt about the country. So he simply said: 'South Africa rocks!'

Besides for his lively stage performance, Williams had the crowd hysterical with laughter after showing the crowd his Blue Steel face and the face of a horny giraffe.

Amongst the songs that he performed were Millennium, Advertising Space, Come Undone, Rock DJ and Feel.

Williams ended the concert with his love song Angels. A song which took him only thirty minutes to write but which tens of thousands of South Africans will remember for a life time.'
