It freaking pisses me off when some people are more concerned about someone’s sex life instead of just admiring them as phenomenal musicians. It is none of our business!!!
@@shonabeggs4640It was all said in court. Not a secret. But some people just use it - videos and so on - to make money because they can't do anything great and remarkable.
@@shonabeggs4640 Those particular incidents may warrant questioning,but you’d be intellectually dishonest if you think those particular incidents motivated everyone to all of sudden question his sexuality because I dare say,they were in his business also prior to those episodes.
Whatever his personal life, there’s no denying that George Michael was an incredibly talented artist. He was a pop idol who brought so many singles to no.1 and then moved onto ballads and covers from some of the world’s top artists. He was an icon and had the most beautiful voice and produced some wonderful albums. He may have been a victim of mass media and passed away too soon but his name and amazing music will live on. What a magnificent legacy he left us with.
@@AlaineSuzanne No, he was talented. I'm not usually a pop fan, but his dance songs were among the best ever. I couldn't ever stay sitting when the DJ began spinning a George Michael song during the decades that I used to go out and dance. He had It.
@@AlaineSuzanne So exactly how would you define talent? Personal taste is irrelevant when it comes to recognising an artist as being great at what they do. There are many singers,painters,authors etc who I would not classify as being amongst my favourites but that has no reflection on their skill or expertise.
@@Workingclasshero368 Yes I loved the 70's music as well. I am so luck to have been born in 1966, so I could experience the best music. I was just to young to hang out with my older cousins.
I saw this title and wanted to comment. I knew someone in the early 2000s who was one of MIchael's sound people. He had a private plane for his entire crew; none of them flew coach. He paid them very well, treated them well - I got to see him (comp tickets from my friend) not long before he died. His show was fabulous- he voice was still strong and he performed 100%. I cried when I heard he died because he was one of the Good ones; he was always lovely, courteous, smiling - even though those who didn't know him exposed some embarrassing moments of his that would have destroyed most people, he did his best to answer journalists' and talk show hosts' questions about his personal life, never getting angry or acting defensive. He just grinned and bore it with a lovely smile. I won't watch this video. I really don't want to dig into more dirt than I know about him. I'll keep my nice memories of his gorgeous, smiling face, and keep dancing to FAITH. I'll leave this dirt for someone else.
I just don’t understand how his sex life, the most private part of a person’s life, was anyone’s business!!! He was an outstanding musician and that’s what the world should remember him as! Rest In Peace GM
When you are putting it out there on display for the whole world to see and hear about then it becomes your business,e specially when you break laws. He wasn't private!
He didn't put it out there, the media did to make money and sell papers, etc. If it had happened to you or I, there wouldn't be a story told and we would be able to address an embarrassing and personal situation without it going around the world for consumption and judgment.
I am 65 and i never had interest in his personal relationships as much as his creativity humanitarian, music and gracious charities.I loved his music and always hated the persecution people projected in judgement.I cried when he died ..he was a great love in hearts. Today most artists are boring and lack creativity ,so many great artists from our time have passed but leaving their art to enjoy.
No matter how good looking or beloved by the world he became, the insecurity from how inadequate he felt in childhood left a chasm in his soul that could NEVER be filled. In truth, his inability to love himself prevented him from accepting anyone else's love so that he was left empty, & he used drugs & meaningless sex with strangers to try to replace what was never there, in the first place. It is really one of the greatest tragedies in the entire world of music. If he could have managed to feel a fraction of the love for himself that we felt for him, we would still have him with us, today, because he would know how important he was to people. It's been nearly a decade, & I STILL tear up when I hear his music because I just think about all of the new songs of which we have been deprived because his perfect voice & remarkable song-writing were taken from us entirely too soon. I just try to console myself with the thought that, like Whitney Houston, God just needed his voice for His angelic choir, sooner rather than later.
Oh how shameful to not recognize the complex, haunting genius of this beautiful soul. The hateful slander of George's character & personal choices will never ever diminish the gift of who he was in life❤❤❤ Cowboys and Angels literally saved me during sad and dark times. I thank God for his genius and I believe George and the angels are singing in heavenly 🕊️ peace❤🎉
It was a shame that George Michael didn’t want to do a world tour with Queen. He was just as good if not better in vocals department than Freddie. Maybe that was 1 of the factors not to do it.
It was George Michael's birthday just a couple of days ago on June 25th, he would have been 61 years old. Happy heavenly birthday George! We miss you!! ❤️

You can say whatever about George Michael, but one thing we can all agree on is that he was a beautiful soul, through and through. Charity after charity, he was always giving. His generosity was and still is, legendary. My heart still aches for losing him so early even to this day. Rest in peace.
George Michael wrote , produced and sang lead on all of his songs. His voice was powerful and very soulful. He admired the voices of people of color and their Gospel style. I was in my early 20's when I first heard of WHAM and immediately loved their music. There remains no male vocalist that had his range or style. The day he passed a little of myself died as well. I saw him once and he was very kind. George Michael will never be forgotten. His memory and music will live forever.
Wow, I didn't expect to burst into tears when I clicked on this video. Thought I had become used to the idea of George Michael's death. But no. Reliving not just his death, but the struggles and challenges he faced in life, is really heartbreaking. Especially as he had survived the pneumonia that almost took his life, only to succumb to death a few years before. He was such a wonderful person with a huge heart. I hope George Michael is remembered for his generosity, kindness and courage as much as for his incredible talent.
I always had a crush on George Michael during the 80's-90's My best friend Jenny loved him. Had a t-shirt with his face on it and a pillow case. She knew all of the words to every song 😢 I miss them both. RIP Jenny & George
When we found out George Michael was gay - we were so happy that he was so happy. We were innocent little tweens and thought he was happy! When I grew up and understood what gay meant to George I was still happy for him. ❤
No one’s sex life is anyone else’s business. Period. He was a good, loyal friend, a loving child and sibling. He was also the beautiful soul who donated millions to charity, quietly and without any fanfare. Such a loss to the world. RIP George. ❤
George was an amazing artist. He was gorgeous. He was so uplifting. His voice was golden. Thank you George. You really, really stand out in the most wonderful way. Thank goodness we can still listen to your beautiful music! ❤
im 52 and liked some of his songs but this is literally first time i hear him speaking and boy i love how he stands his ground during that interview until min 33
I'm the same age as you, with the same vague interest in George and oh man the way he tears strips off that reporter is equal parts admirable and frustrating. Her questions were just sleazy tabloid baiting. I really respected the way he held his ground, too
When I learnt about his sexuality it didn't make a difference to what I feel about him.. His marvelous voice continues to enchant me.. And to be fair he was breathtakingly handsome..
Wonderful writer and performer. He did so much good for others during his life. Very few stars can hold a candle to him. It’s with great sadness that he died alone but he will still be remembered for his great music.
Jesus to a child is the most beautiful song George EVER wrote. To this day nothing has been more reflective and emotionally driven than that one. It STILL makes me cry. And my second is cowboys and angels. Just wow!!!!🎉❤
“Round here” is an underrated song. An homage to his mother and for me, it Captures the appreciation for my mom, and the gift of life she gave me. Beautiful song.
What I love about George is his beautiful smile, when he smiles you can see the light and warm of the beautiful country of his origin. Rip dear George 💗🌹
We're all human beings we all make mistakes in life , I miss this man so much and so many wonderful memories of his music ...a wonderful man ...a legend! ❤
Listen to George's music back in the 80s and still doing it today. What a blessed soul . He was sent to this planet to bless us with his beautiful voice. Who are we to judge his personal life. May his soul continue to rest in peace 😊
Nothing Mad or Bad about George, I have nothing but gratitude for the amazing songwriter , musician and incredibly talented work, wow what a great singer and all round decent person he was. Nice video thanks for posting ❤
George did so much for music and culture. It’s such a tragic loss that he is no longer here. I loved and grew up with his music throughout the 80’s and going forward. It’s hard to remember that he’s no longer here and that so many great people from that time are gone as well. I miss those wonderful people, may they rest in peace. 🥲🕊️
Beautiful man and too honest for this world. Much respect for his integrity, music, beautiful voice, and charitable works. He has touched many lives. ❤️🎶❤️
Fame took too much from George. He became a reclusive person. His legacy lives on 🙏🏼💖the “Choose Life” Tshirt wasn’t about famine etc it was about suicide prevention and awareness. Rip George fly high Angel 🙏🏼💖
Listen without Prejudice is my favorite album by George and my favorite album in my whole collection. I listen to it straight through from beginning to end and am always left wanting more. RIP singing Greek...
Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful music, he had me with wake me up b4 you go go. I was in love the 1st time I laid eyes on him. Rip George, we love you, you'll never be forgotten.
I know he was a star… but he was just as huge as Micheal Jackson or Prince.. this man made some of the most iconic songs EVER!!.. Timeless masterpieces
This video really touch my heart …I remember my ex boyfriend took me out one night near convent garden at the time this Club was exclusive … where we met with more people and going there with another celebrity (He Man) forgot the name now…. Then at this particular Club … I think called BROWNS …. IN there I found myself sitting almost next to him just one other person sat between George Michael and myself! Wow I was surprise … I honour the brief moment I shared that night with my boyfriend and hid friends , I was very young then. He is very special still to me and my mother. I was very lucky . I am Colombian living here in uk London .thank you for this beautiful presentation.
People once in their lives must have sang Careless Whisper and Last Christmas every year... A legend making people sing his songs decades after they were released...
I was fortunate enough to have been born in 1968 which meant my whole teenage existence was the '80's and I grew up with everything that period entailed. I miss it more than anything.
1967 here. I liked the beginning of the 80s up until '83. After that I really, _really_ disliked it. At least the mainstream music and films. Too corporate and digitally clean for me. GM's music wasn't my taste at all but I thought he was very talented and a nice guy.
I lived in the USA my sister and I loved and adored George Michael. We bought his 45’s and cassette tapes of all of his music. I remember hearing that he preferred men but I thought it was a rumor made up by boys at school because they were jealous of him. There were some wild rumors about Richard Gere too 😂 😂. We didn’t care that he was gay. We loved Boy George too (especially my sister) and we knew he was gay. I’m pretty sure none of the young people cared. I think the record label owners and older people had a problem with it but no one I knew cared. It’s so sad that he died alone on Christmas Eve. We lost our cousin and his partner to the aids epidemic in the early 90’s. I think it touched everyone 😢
George Michael was one of the greatest artist ever. Such an amazing voice, writer and producer. Imagine going from Wham to the album Older which is in my view one of the best albums ever. His sex life should never have been made anyones business, and George unfortunately spend to much of his life trying to explain himselves, what the press and people should have been told was to fuck off, listen to the music or not, but some just get obsessed with the drama. Gone way to soon, thats for sure.
Please keep your opinion to yourself because If you think Wham made one of the greatest album ever then you know nothing about music. Wham was weak, anemic and musically bankrupt . 80s trash
@edward - showing your ignorance. You obviously didn’t understand the comment. He said going from Wham to his album Older which was a solo album and a masterpiece in my opinion. You obviously don’t know his music yet you think you can judge him on it and tell others to keep their opinions to themselves. Listen to your own advice!
I wish he would have created his own venue in England - like Branson Missouri USA...where the fans could have come to him from all over the world...& he could have lived at his home & could have controlled the press interviews - by his invitation only.That way he would have not been so exhausted by all the travel and promotion and being endlessly exposed to the vile press. It could have been shared with other UK artists like the stones, sting, adele, etc. in the weeks that George did not want to perform. I think he would have put on more concerts and hopefully would have been a bit happier - having more control and peace.
George was a great guy no matter his sexual preference. I believe he opened doors and eyes for young men all over the world.. Rest in Peace beautiful man 🙏
He is such a great person. I read about how gracious and giving he was. I grew up with his 80s music, and I thought how handsome he was back then. He is missed, but is music will live on❤
I never cared about his sexuality. The person, the music and the beautiful soul. You are missed greatly and I’m sorry that you had to endure the intrusion into your personal life 😢 A one off never to be repeated. A privilege to have had the pleasure of listening to such beautiful music Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏼❤️
I knew him personally and can say I never disliked anyone more. He was a narcissistic bully. One of his favourite pastimes was outwardly shaming women. He did it because he could, because he was a star. He'd make a nasty comment about someone, then look to his friends to share the laugh. George Michael could be extremely vicious and hateful. Andrew, on the other hand, was a gentleman. Kind, generous and sweet, Andrew was forever trying to be his best self.
@@TheSecretChateau What you are telling me is truly shocking and totally at variance to the received wisdom. I guess that every human must have a dark side ? Maybe you should write a book ?
@@jamesdean1143 I first met George Michael at a party. Delighted to see a long missed old friend (also named George) I laughed and waved with happiness calling "George! George!" out to him. Initally I didn't see GM, who thought I was some sort of silly Wham fan girl and sneering, mimicked my 'George George' in a loud high pitched childish voice, getting all his hangers on to laugh at me. My friend George came to hug me and said loudly "Ignore him (GM) he thinks he's special." When GM heard this and realised I was referring to a different George, he turned red with embarrassment. He automatically hated me on sight. Because we moved in the same circles, I saw GM frequently and he was always nastily cruel to me. It was childish. His sister was always lovely, as was his close friend (and pretend girlfriend) Pat. Shirley of Wham was nice but aloof with shyness, and Pepsi of Wham was genuinely the sweetest person I'd ever met.
All anyone should want for others is to be happy and feel loved. All else is meaningless. I miss him and his music so so much. What a spirit and beautiful soul… light. George, no one ever listened or cared about the garbage media. We only cared about you and how your music made us feel. HAPPY! The world needs your music now more than ever.
It freaking pisses me off when some people are more concerned about someone’s sex life instead of just admiring them as phenomenal musicians. It is none of our business!!!

So talented, huge heart, and didnt let his ego get bigger than he was. Lovely man.
The thing I most admire about George was his honesty. Both as person and an artist. ‘A different corner’ is my all time favourite.
A different Corner is out-of-this-world.
My fav too.
Great music NEVER gets old. The 80's was the best decade ever.
No way! The 70s has the best music, you can’t compare this to the punk, reggae, funk, etc, that emerged in the 70s

😂 dude was satan
Stop using drugs. There's no such thing as beautiful light in any high that drugs provide.
Passing away alone on Christmas eve remains tragic.

My best friend Jenny loved him. Had a t-shirt with his face on it and a pillow case. She knew all of the words to every song 😢 I miss them both. RIP Jenny & George
When we found out George Michael was gay - we were so happy that he was so happy. We were innocent little tweens and thought he was happy! When I grew up and understood what gay meant to George I was still happy for him. ❤
Good man and good music. He gave freely to charity and was very philanthropic.
No one’s sex life is anyone else’s business. Period. He was a good, loyal friend, a loving child and sibling. He was also the beautiful soul who donated millions to charity, quietly and without any fanfare. Such a loss to the world. RIP George. ❤
Well said
As a fan never get over get George Michael’s death. He will always be my favorite male singer.
George was an amazing artist. He was gorgeous. He was so uplifting. His voice was golden. Thank you George. You really, really stand out in the most wonderful way. Thank goodness we can still listen to your beautiful music! ❤
He deserved the rights to HIS music 🎶🎶🎶
Absolutely 💯!!! Shame on Sony!!!
They all do.
@@daynasafranek7807 Yep that mob with big noses have usurped the entire wealth of the planet....
Yes he did, they all do. 🎶
Havent they have done this to all the greatest artists?
im 52 and liked some of his songs but this is literally first time i hear him speaking and boy i love how he stands his ground during that interview until min 33
I'm the same age as you, with the same vague interest in George and oh man the way he tears strips off that reporter is equal parts admirable and frustrating. Her questions were just sleazy tabloid baiting. I really respected the way he held his ground, too
Faith is still a banger of a tune. Hands up everyone if you agree 😊
👐👐👐👐❤❤❤
When I learnt about his sexuality it didn't make a difference to what I feel about him..
His marvelous voice continues to enchant me..
And to be fair he was breathtakingly handsome..
Wonderful writer and performer. He did so much good for others during his life. Very few stars can hold a candle to him. It’s with great sadness that he died alone but he will still be remembered for his great music.
Jesus to a child is the most beautiful song George EVER wrote. To this day nothing has been more reflective and emotionally driven than that one. It STILL makes me cry.
And my second is cowboys and angels. Just wow!!!!🎉❤
I love the song Father Figure & Careless Whisper. Those 2 songs I can name in 2 notes when I hear them ❤❤
@@CatalinaFOIAnever forget “wake me up before you go go,.don’t leave me hanging on like a yo yo”😀such great unique genius lyrics
YESSS!! That whole song 'Jesus To A Child', omg.
Oh daddy by christine mcvie....
“Round here” is an underrated song. An homage to his mother and for me, it Captures the appreciation for my mom, and the gift of life she gave me. Beautiful song.
So sadly missed😢❤
One of the absolute heavyweights of the pop stratosphere & yet another top English songsmith to the very core.
I loved the way George turned his USA arrest into a song and fab video! RIP George! 🙏🏻🤲🏻
What I love about George is his beautiful smile, when he smiles you can see the light and warm of the beautiful country of his origin. Rip dear George 💗🌹
British then?
A wonderful musician, songwriter and performer. His music lives on.
@AnnaRaymond-gm4fu unfortunately not. I'm not great with crowds.
How sad, what a great voice and songwriter!!
We're all human beings we all make mistakes in life , I miss this man so much and so many wonderful memories of his music ...a wonderful man ...a legend! ❤
Like my mother taught me " it doesn't matter what people do behind closed doors". He was an incredible singer, and entertainer. One Love❤
Listen to George's music back in the 80s and still doing it today. What a blessed soul . He was sent to this planet to bless us with his beautiful voice. Who are we to judge his personal life. May his soul continue to rest in peace 😊
❤❤❤
Totally agree 🙌🙌
❤
Never be another one, bless you for your brilliance and so many memories ❤❤❤
Nothing Mad or Bad about George, I have nothing but gratitude for the amazing songwriter , musician and incredibly talented work, wow what a great singer and all round decent person he was. Nice video thanks for posting ❤
I really like how he handled the press. Lots of musicians react with anxiety but he seemed always calm even responding to their random questions.
God I can't fathom how much I miss George it physically hurts 😕💔
George did so much for music and culture. It’s such a tragic loss that he is no longer here. I loved and grew up with his music throughout the 80’s and going forward. It’s hard to remember that he’s no longer here and that so many great people from that time are gone as well. I miss those wonderful people, may they rest in peace. 🥲🕊️
I will never, ever get over the passing of George and Princess Diana. When they died, my youth died too!
@@Toonces666princess diana was with dodi not George
@@Marthawendy-sz2mk Yes, I know. I just meant of my generation, the deaths of Diana and George Michael hit me the hardest.
@@Toonces666 🌹❤️
@@Toonces666me too.
Beautiful man and too honest for this world. Much respect for his integrity, music, beautiful voice, and charitable works. He has touched many lives. ❤️🎶❤️
@Musiclover-uo2oi Too honest? About what? He lied a lot!
@@AmericanWoman1Have you anything positive to say? Troll much?
@AmericanWoman1😂
@@Toonces666you have to admit her comment was funny
Fame took too much from George. He became a reclusive person. His legacy lives on 🙏🏼💖the “Choose Life” Tshirt wasn’t about famine etc it was about suicide prevention and awareness. Rip George fly high Angel 🙏🏼💖
Weird that he committed suicide.
@@SkabanisHuh? He died with heart issues!
@@SkabanisAnother bot !
@@Toonces666I thought he died of aids
Listen without Prejudice is my favorite album by George and my favorite album in my whole collection. I listen to it straight through from beginning to end and am always left wanting more.
RIP singing Greek...
@@glenntremblay5406 Yes a wonderful album of music from the great man.
Nothing short of a masterpiece
George Michael's lyrics and voice are unmatched. A priceless treasure gifted to all of us!
George Michael was so talented, his voice was almost perfect, and his song writing skills sublime. I used to play them over and over. Peace!
Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful music, he had me with wake me up b4 you go go. I was in love the 1st time I laid eyes on him. Rip George, we love you, you'll never be forgotten.
I love his music & thought 💭 the media really showed the absolute worst of him.
Handsome guy loved his younger version
Salute and respect him.
He is so sincere, direct and a nice bloke.
Sadly. He had left us.
Rest Happy , George.
Andrew was one hell of a best friend, both legends 🖤
That was brilliant that someone wrote Wham on the place of impact on the Snappy Snaps shop😂
British humour at its finest. It brought a smile to my face.
Really? Is this the only thing you take away from this whole video?
I know he was a star… but he was just as huge as Micheal Jackson or Prince.. this man made some of the most iconic songs EVER!!.. Timeless masterpieces
George had so many more great songs than Prince. I don’t think Prince was that huge .. MJ of course was
@@Debbie-m7f HA! 😄
This video really touch my heart …I remember my ex boyfriend took me out one night near convent garden at the time this Club was exclusive … where we met with more people and going there with another celebrity (He Man) forgot the name now…. Then at this particular Club … I think called BROWNS …. IN there I found myself sitting almost next to him just one other person sat between George Michael and myself! Wow I was surprise … I honour the brief moment I shared that night with my boyfriend and hid friends , I was very young then. He is very special still to me and my mother. I was very lucky . I am Colombian living here in uk London .thank you for this beautiful presentation.
What a wonderful memory! I’m so glad you shared it! It must’ve been amazing and probably incredibly exciting/scary to sit so near him. 😊❤
@@daynasafranek7807
Si tienes razon a mi me Daba nerviosa. Y exciting. 😄
George Michael had a fantastic voice. His version of Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me is tremendous.
Ladies and gentlemen an evening with George Michael…..
I do believe extremely underrated he was genius and had a beautiful soul
I been a fan of him since I was 13 years old he had such of beautiful soul
People once in their lives must have sang Careless Whisper and Last Christmas every year... A legend making people sing his songs decades after they were released...
I was fortunate enough to have been born in 1968 which meant my whole teenage existence was the '80's and I grew up with everything that period entailed. I miss it more than anything.
Same!!!
Born in 73, just not the same now is it?!
I was born in ‘68 too.😊
1967 here. I liked the beginning of the 80s up until '83. After that I really, _really_ disliked it. At least the mainstream music and films. Too corporate and digitally clean for me. GM's music wasn't my taste at all but I thought he was very talented and a nice guy.
Id go back to the 80s and ,90s in a minute. Such great times
George was a beautiful person, inside and out.❤❤❤
I lived in the USA my sister and I loved and adored George Michael. We bought his 45’s and cassette tapes of all of his music. I remember hearing that he preferred men but I thought it was a rumor made up by boys at school because they were jealous of him. There were some wild rumors about Richard Gere too 😂 😂. We didn’t care that he was gay. We loved Boy George too (especially my sister) and we knew he was gay. I’m pretty sure none of the young people cared. I think the record label owners and older people had a problem with it but no one I knew cared. It’s so sad that he died alone on Christmas Eve.
We lost our cousin and his partner to the aids epidemic in the early 90’s. I think it touched everyone 😢
Miss him. He sure was and will always be gorgeous and so talented. Xx❤❤
Beautiful man indeed. He sparkled. Love his confidence and his responses are just eloquent despite unfair and uncalled for adversities.
True gentleman, phenomenal song writer and artist….. rest easy George 🙏🏼❤
George Michael was one of the greatest artist ever. Such an amazing voice, writer and producer. Imagine going from Wham to the album Older which is in my view one of the best albums ever. His sex life should never have been made anyones business, and George unfortunately spend to much of his life trying to explain himselves, what the press and people should have been told was to fuck off, listen to the music or not, but some just get obsessed with the drama. Gone way to soon, thats for sure.
Please keep your opinion to yourself because If you think Wham made one of the greatest album ever then you know nothing about music. Wham was weak, anemic and musically bankrupt . 80s trash
@edward - showing your ignorance. You obviously didn’t understand the comment. He said going from Wham to his album Older which was a solo album and a masterpiece in my opinion. You obviously don’t know his music yet you think you can judge him on it and tell others to keep their opinions to themselves. Listen to your own advice!
George was so much more than the Wham music. You clearly have no idea.
@@ChloeR-vt4bhhe certainly was👀👍🏼
I wish he would have created his own venue in England - like Branson Missouri USA...where the fans could have come to him from all over the world...& he could have lived at his home & could have controlled the press interviews - by his invitation only.That way he would have not been so exhausted by all the travel and promotion and being endlessly exposed to the vile press. It could have been shared with other UK artists like the stones, sting, adele, etc. in the weeks that George did not want to perform. I think he would have put on more concerts and hopefully would have been a bit happier - having more control and peace.
Poor George died from substance abuse and a broken heart.
RIP George a great talent and kind soul with a social conscience a rare thing nowadays 🙏
George was a great guy no matter his sexual preference. I believe he opened doors and eyes for young men all over the world.. Rest in Peace beautiful man 🙏
We are missing what heaven has gained ❤ a beautiful angel ❤ thank you for the music and for you George 🙏
Sadly, i didn't 😢 @AnnaRaymond-gm4fu
The MAN COULD REALLY.SING...ONE OF THE BEST THAT EVER LIVED..Rip
He is such a great person. I read about how gracious and giving he was. I grew up with his 80s music, and I thought how handsome he was back then. He is missed, but is music will live on❤
Best artist in the world....his lyrics, music, he wrote himslf....always will be remembered as a humble human being. ❤ love you George!!!!!
What a gorgeous, gentle, talented and kind soul.
I knew you were waiting was phenomenal
Cowboys and Angels one of the greatest sons ever
He was just so beautiful and I think people were just jealous of him because they couldn’t be him ❤❤❤❤
He was a very handsome man
Yea, I guess you're right. So many people are jealous and just try something to drag down someone they are jealous of... Sad thing
@@universaleducationsystems2722NOT quite as handsome as Elvis🥰😜
@@Marthawendy-sz2mklol
He was so handsome ❤️
I never cared about his sexuality. The person, the music and the beautiful soul.
You are missed greatly and I’m sorry that you had to endure the intrusion into your personal life 😢
A one off never to be repeated.
A privilege to have had the pleasure of listening to such beautiful music
Rest in eternal peace 🙏🏼❤️
It was completely his business what he did sexually. His generosity with his wealth was appreciated❤ I'm sorry he didn't live a longer life😒
Never heard a bad word, from anyone, about George.
I knew him personally and can say I never disliked anyone more. He was a narcissistic bully. One of his favourite pastimes was outwardly shaming women. He did it because he could, because he was a star. He'd make a nasty comment about someone, then look to his friends to share the laugh. George Michael could be extremely vicious and hateful. Andrew, on the other hand, was a gentleman. Kind, generous and sweet, Andrew was forever trying to be his best self.
@@TheSecretChateau
What you are telling me is truly shocking and totally at variance to the received wisdom.
I guess that every human must have a dark side ?
Maybe you should write a book ?
He was a rotter
@@jamesdean1143 I first met George Michael at a party. Delighted to see a long missed old friend (also named George) I laughed and waved with happiness calling "George! George!" out to him. Initally I didn't see GM, who thought I was some sort of silly Wham fan girl and sneering, mimicked my 'George George' in a loud high pitched childish voice, getting all his hangers on to laugh at me. My friend George came to hug me and said loudly "Ignore him (GM) he thinks he's special." When GM heard this and realised I was referring to a different George, he turned red with embarrassment. He automatically hated me on sight. Because we moved in the same circles, I saw GM frequently and he was always nastily cruel to me. It was childish. His sister was always lovely, as was his close friend (and pretend girlfriend) Pat. Shirley of Wham was nice but aloof with shyness, and Pepsi of Wham was genuinely the sweetest person I'd ever met.
Sounds like he let getting famous go to his head. His ego took over
Thank you for the memories and the music. Rest in peace George 🙏
So talented, so loved but it couldn’t save him from drug addiction… so sad, we miss him 😔
All anyone should want for others is to be happy and feel loved. All else is meaningless. I miss him and his music so so much. What a spirit and beautiful soul… light. George, no one ever listened or cared about the garbage media. We only cared about you and how your music made us feel. HAPPY! The world needs your music now more than ever.
George Michael was an amazing artist. He had a phenomenal voice and he was also a musician and composer.
Complicated guy. Great voice & song writing talent. Unfortunately, things didn't end up too well for him.
