YESTERDAY MUSIC CHANNEL VH1 announced that it would be hosting a live Q&A session on Twitter with Robin Thicke.

The singer has come in for criticism over the content of his hit song Blurred Lines, and the decision to name his new album ‘Paula’, as a tribute to his estranged wife.

Since VH1 made the announcement the #AskThicke hashtag has been hijacked on Twitter, with people submitting all the kinds of questions Thicke doesn’t want to answer.

Well, let’s see how he got on…

He sidestepped this obvious question

ask1

ask2

He put on a brave face

All in all Thicke answered 11 questions, revealing that The Beatles are his greatest musical influence and pushing the fact that he has two new videos out today.

He did not, however, tell us what rhymes with ‘hug me’, nor answer any of these questions. The louser.
