[edit] The Video

The video of the song featured a casting in which people from all over Europe contested to win the chance to perform as Robbie Williams at the end of the same video.

The first part of the video shows many fans trying to impress the jury of the contest (one of which is identified to be Robbie's father), which finally selects 3 finalists: Peter, Rebecca and Bjorn.

The second part of the video shows the preparation of those three participants to appear in the video, learning from a dance teacher how to dance like Robbie Williams and also some of the Celebrity status they get as finalist of the contest, with an interview in a radio station and a stay in a luxury hotel room.

The final part of the video shows the live performances of the three finalists, each representing a different stage in the career of Robbie Williams.

The first version of the video ended inviting the viewers to vote at the Robbie Williams' website for who they thought was the best performer.

The second version of the video ended with one of the finalists meeting Robbie Williams at a Bus stop as the winner of the contest. The one who meets Robbie varies from country to country. However, none knew that they would be meeting Robbie and the bus stop so their surprise is genuine!

This video shows some influence by Reality shows, specially Pop Idol, and is one of the few which has two different endings.
