LT United website reports
It was brought to our attention that Robbie Williams performed a refrain of "We Are The Winners" during his show in Brussels' Koning Boudewijn stadium this week. Apparently, after delivering some jokes about the Eurovision song contest, Mr. Williams just couldn't resist it and sang the line 'We are the winners of Eurovision' to a stunned crowd of 55.000. Now, 'LT United' try to keep themselves calm, but the truth is - they are absolutely thrilled and astonished after hearing these news. 'Well, this is the first time that a song of Lithuanian artist is covered by a world-famous pop artist. It's definitely an honour for us - whether he was taking a piss or not. This shows that we did the right thing and our idea worked - Lithuanian entry didn't go unnoticed in this year's Eurovision', Andrius Mamontovas said. "I'm laughing my ass off and feel thrilled - all at the same time. Robbie singing our song... Now this is a really pleasant thing to hear", Victor Diawara admitted. In further comments, Andrius jokingly stated that 'LT United' now feel obliged to return the compliment: 'We'll definitely cover one of his songs in our live performances. Oh, by the way, Robbie, if you're reading this, is there still a free 'special guest' slot available on any of your tour concerts?' There's not much to add, really, but once more - thank you Robbie, and we're proud to have you as a 'LT United' member-in-honour from this day. A signed 'LT United' CD with our compliments is on its way. We hope you'll enjoy it.'
