Robbie Williams has slammed critics of fellow British solo artist James Blunt, insisting that the newcomer deserves praise.

The singer revealed that he thinks Blunt is a great entertainer, and should be respected for achieving something Williams has not - cracking the notoriously unforgiving American music scene.

Williams says, "He broke America and as a nation we should be proud of that. "I've been to see his show three times and I'd go again and again. "He's a good chap and one of the nicest people I've met in the business."
