Definitely no surprise that Rob has came in at #1 on PopSugar’s Best Of 2010 Top Five Singing Stars List. Who can ever forget the day when the clip of Rob’s SOFAR performance was released *sigh* No words to describe how beautiful his voice is – just none. As we’ve been told before, SOFAR are just waiting on Rob’s approval to release the clip in full so fingers crossed we’ll see Rob’s performance in it’s entirety soon *claps hands* SOFAR really have helped restore my faith in the human race. It’s so nice to see someone actually ask before doing, so very rare these days.

hardestxheart for pattinson_music interviewed SOFAR and here’s what they had to say about Rob’s performance back in January:

Lastly, if you don’t mind, I’d like to inquire a bit about Robert Pattinson’s performance on behalf of our community. Did he volunteer to play? Can you describe his performance style, his musical style for us?

He sure did. He was in the audience and clearly enjoying the music. Halfway through the gig he asked if we would mind if he played. As there were 5 other acts pre booked to play we said ‘sure!’ but that it would have to be at the end of the night. He was nervous – Rob said it had been about a year since he had played live and hoped he remembered what to do. He was very down to earth and shy about it.  It was getting late once he grabbed the guitar and walked to the ‘stage’ (the front of a private home in north london) – so we agreed he’d play one song. He has a very rich and soulful style – sweet-sad lyrics – a sound not unlike his friends Marcus Foster and Bobby Long.

We’ve been so patient waiting for him to perform and your clip gave us so much hope! Do you plan on releasing the full song he performed? And can you see him returning for another performance?

We will definitely release the full clip of his performance in the coming months. Just arranging when a good time to do so (watch this space: www.sofarsounds.com). And as he truly enjoyed playing Songs From A Room (and played well), I’m pretty certain he’ll be back.

PS. For those who might be interested in hosting something similar (no promise of Rob though) here in Australia, you can send us an email at robertpattinsonau@hotmail.com and I can provide you with some background information that Rocky has provided to me.

Also, we were told a few months back that they are just waiting on Rob’s okay to release the remainder of the clip.  Fingers crossed that that happens very very soon as suggested above *clapshandsgleefully*

Thanks to SOFAR’s FB page – here is a slightly extended and official clip of Rob’s performance. No annoying voiceovers or anything! Oh I cannot wait for them to release the full clip.  And in case you’re wondering – this isn’t the torture I was proposing!

If only I had the software to edit out her voice (sorry no offence whoever she is), but talking over Rob is as serious an offence as tagging his face!  This is slightly longer, plus it has Rob on the UK fan event last year confirming he will sing again when he’s ready and YES! thank God he was back in January.  Thanks to our friend Aeren at our affie Robsessedspain for the vid!

I barely have words to express the bliss of waking up to Rob’s vocals today.
This clip was taken last January when Rob made an appearance on Songs from Another Room. A series of live performances in people’s loungerooms across London. Turn up the volume and ignore the voiceover at the beginning – Rob singing … Le swoooon.

Updated to add: Additonal footage!

Both Rob parts as one.

With thanks to our affie TwiBritneyFan and elite affie RPlife for the additional footage.

Amanda Bell from examiner.com wrote an article about Sam Bradley’s shows in LA on 25 and 26 May.  Since it’s another quiet day I thought I would post a clip of Sam performing the song that he co-wrote with Rob recently.  Now the clip that was used in Amanda’s article has been removed, but I’ve found another one thanks to YouTube user jOcOse.   During the introduction of the song Sam says “it’s a true story to someone” and as Michelle and I suspected, although he doesn’t say it here, the song is autobiographical. Sam confirmed this at his show on 30 May and it makes sense that Rob would be able to help him write it.  I wonder if this is one of the songs Rob spoke about “composing” for a soundtrack – I’m hoping it might turn up on Remember Me. Although “composing” rather than singing has me thinking could that be the music for the CD he gives Bella for her birthday in New Moon?  Always teasing Rob, always teasing – in any event Rob working on a song is always “music to my ears” .
