A Something Beautiful című dal Robbie Williams brit pop énekes kislemeze, amely az Escapology című album harmadik kislemezeként jelent meg 2003 nyarán.

Videoklip

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. At the filming none knew that they would be meeting Robbie at the bus stop so their surprise is genuine.

This video shows some influence by Reality shows, especially Pop Idol, and is one of the few which has two different endings. An interactive verson of the video was created to run on Sky Digital by weapon7 wherev iewers could vote through their TV and discover the backstory of the participants.

Háttér

You can't manufacture a miracle/the silence was pitiful - that day...We wrote this in Barbados when I was in between good times. I think the demo was a bit lightweight - it wasn't Al Green enough or Macy Gray enough. We originally offered it to Tom Jones and he was interested in it but I don't think his people completely got it or liked it, so I was ‘if we can make this more soulful I think it would be great to be on the album'. It's about sitting in bed at night thinking: I wish I wasn't here by myself."
