Ana Molina Also MJ
..pet shop boys who like boy george are still touring, producing new projects and ballets and going strong as ever
totally
Whitney/ Madonna
Yes also mj and prince as well.
George Michael beautiful man in every way possible.
Gone but never forgotten.
RIP GM.
This guy was jealous. He's fkn lying about being friends with beautiful George Michael.
@@sandyworkman3025 How You know?
Yo know him?
You're so ridiculous
Boy George surely belongs in those lists of Eighties icons.
I'm so happy that boy George has cleaned up his life, it would have been devastating to have lost him to drugs
Amen sister. AAAmen. ;-) ;-) ;-)
I agree! We still love you, George!!!
So absolutely right. Love him since I was a child since I was born in 1976. Lost George Michael. But a bit confused that WHAM were not big in the States as he stated in interview. WHAM make it big was what launched George Michael into one of the 80s biggest and most iconic artists of that era . And of any era. Strange oversight
I had no idea that Boy George & George Michael had ended their fued.....that's very nice to know....
I loved both of them.
@@wolfgang3137you loved George Michael. You love George O'Dowd.
George had really grown up over the years. I'm so glad he got healthy, and got on a good path for himself. Love him and Culture Club.
Boy George interviews so well. He seems very personable. Great talent.
My late sister met George Michael and the other guy in Wham in a hotel in NYC in the late 80s. She said he was very gracious, sweet and so incredibly beautiful! RIP to both of them!
Andrew Ridgeley
You mean Andrew Ridgeley?
She's so lucky and all but I've always wanted to see him and now he's dead rip
Andrew Ridgeley
Andrew Ridegely is still alive.
Boy George looks so vibrant and healthy compared to his past. God bless him
George is good spirited person. RIP George Michael you gave us great music.
Boy George what a beautiful man and a true gem that makes me proud to be British.
I love both Georges.❤❤❤
George is as kind as he is beautiful ❤
I'm besotted by his ever present transparency and unapologetic authenticity. No matter where he is, who he's talking with, he is always the beautiful multidimensional human / energy being, George.
You worded that beautifully ❤️
@@beannamated your words made me cry! I feel that.
😂
I've always liked Boy George, and I am sooooo glad that he's pulled himself together and has stayed sober. He is a lovely, sweet man. My partner met George many years ago, when Culture Club was at their peak, and speaks very highly of him.
He's an amazing musition and a lovely man
Don't you just luv our George, he deffinetly is a survivor.
"OUR GEORGE".... so cute. I like that. 🙂
George Michael and Boy George were both GIANTS in the 80s!!
Yes!!
Still Boy George looks so vibrant...George Michael had so much to give talented handsome ...cannot get my eyes off...left us too soon
As a kid I never gave it a second thought that he dressed and looked like a girl. All I knew was he had enjoyable music. The 80s rule!
I actually thought he was cute, back then .
I remember the first time I saw him sing it was on TV. I thought what a beautiful soul.
Me too
@@yolandahoward7959 OMG ME TOO! Love 80s George too bad I missed it
I always thought of him more as fluid.
Such a great answer Boy George ~ “I never look back. I try to stay present - stay in the moment.” 👍That’s how to live life or you miss it ✌️
FREDDIE MERCURY, GEORGE MICHAEL *BOY GEORGE.....THE 80s ROCKED..
We are lucky Boy George is still alive.
Freddie Mercury and Queen’s popularity pretty much faded in America after “Radio Ga-Ga.” And the London side of Live Aid that they performed on was not shown in America at the time.
Boy George looks so good👍👍
He has beautiful eyes that you can really see without all the makeup he wore in the 80s. Handsome man, actually.
meowmeow meow I watched 1987 interview (after his drug use ended) in Spain. Once he got sober..he never wore as much makeup. He was makeup free in that interview and DANG was he cute! Lol
@@lessismore8533 I love his accent. He is very sweet talking about his competitive but friendly relationship with George. Gives him respect and so sad at his passing. Boy George looks great here, and has a great personality. Still love those eyes!
He always had the best make up artists. He was the epitome of flawless, way before Bey.
@@nuwavegurl yah he has good makeup artists BUT in his youth he of course taught himself to do his own makeup.
Two beautiful voices...and beautiful lyrics.
Boy George you are Immortal in my eyes. Always will be my hero.
I never realized how crystal blue his eyes are. They are beautiful.
George is gorgeous!! Beautiful voice. So happy he's doing so well. ❤
These Brits are so eloquent. So articulate. No struggle for words in a live interview.
Had to put in my two cents on boy George! My daughter was a teenager when George started! She came to me telling me I had to see this singer! When I saw him I was blown away! Still blown away at 72!
Boy George has gotten better looking with age!!!
He actually looks so much better, after stopping the drug abuse.
and the heavy make up!
Boy George posted a photo of himself with his mum and sister, they still look youhtful! His family have got good genes
Cherry Robinson
He feels good in his own skin and it shows, quit drinking etc
That did not work for GM unfortunately.
hes beautiful
In case you read this “I love you Boy George!”
I LIKE his MUSIC a LOT and also like his HONESTY, OPENNESS and how articulate he is when experesing his views....such a GREAT TALENT !!!
Boy George is intelligent, articulate and simply gentlemanly. Love him.
Boy George is an amazing ICON!! Wish him all the best!🌟
I just saw George Micheal. His beautiful smile.Wow talk about an amazing man. Just had to comment. Thank you all.
Boy George is full energy, he gives happiness ❤
I have loved George since I first heard culture club in early 80s. He is still concentrating on NOW. Such inspiration!
Boy George is a wonderful human being, thanks for the music and memories
Both artist/bands had Great Hits, in the 80's.
R.I.P. George Michael. 🌈
Boy George is a hugely talented personality and so good looking. We need to see and/ or hear more of him on radio and tv.
Definitely has the face for radio.
He’s definitely recorded plenty of music. It’s just that no broadcaster really is that interested in him anymore now. He’s considered a relic of the past.
I felt that Wham! was very successful here. I was a teenager when Wham! hit big here. But Boy is in the music industry so he knows more about it than me, but from experience I recall Wham! was huge.
Wham and George Michael was much more successful then culture club here and abroad period #teamgeorgemichael❤❤❤
@@AriesPamm69cats Yeah, I don't know what boy george is talking about there!!?
Good for boy george happy for him for staying sober
Boy George is so upbeat! He has a very good philosophy! Stay in the moment! Enjoy the moment! Don't look back & don't look too far ahead.
He looks amazing
Gawd I LOVE this man!!! Sooo talented !!! He looks AMAZING
Always gives a brilliant interview, fantastic artist
THANK GOD HE CLEANED UP ..I WISH I CAN DO THE SAME ..IM SO HAPPY TO SEE PEOPLE BEEING CLEANED OF DRUGS ..IM TRYING
It's your life ... do what is good 4 u
Just do it! Doing drugs is NOT an involuntary action. Your heart has to pump and your lungs have to breathe, but you dont HAVE to pick up some drugs and put them in your body. Good luck.
Trying is the first & hardest step. It's cheesy but trust the steps! Remember Always YOU have to change People. Places, & Things to stay sober. Love Yourself. Getting in touch with God certainly doesn't hurt either.
I hope you are clean today,life is already too short. Your love ones would be devastated if you left too soon.
Keep working at it. If they can do it so can you. I will be praying for you
both of them love their mums ... bless them n their mums
Looks like he cleaned up pretty good. And he looks really good again. Wow what an inspiration 👌🏻
Yes i totally agree Boy George and George Michael really were so great!!!!! Part of the 80's that i loved!
I was always in love with GM recently discovered BG… in past didn’t understand BG…now I see how intelligent BG is!!!!! Omg! Love him to pieces! Proud of him admire him!!!!😘
I think people underestimate Boy George because of his flamboyant looks and personality.
It was a sad day when George Michael died. One of my all time favorite artists (Prince and Bowie were also in my top favorites). It's great to see Boy George is still sober. He has such an amazing voice as well, I'd hate for him to ruin it. I notice he said they were like rivals, though I'm sure it was more or less a friendly one. Culture Club was big though. I know a lot of people point out how big George Michael was, but that was when he went solo. Unfortunately Boy George's solo stuff doesn't always get played. Even George Michael's stuff in the later years was pretty much ignored. I think since Listen Without Prejudice the music industry thought he turned his back on them, as he seemed to regret what he was doing prior that made him famous. And the music industry sucks when it coms to nurturing true musicians and artists.
Listen Without Prejudice and later was only ignored in the United States. Those latter albums did better than Faith in the UK. George Michael had a long career even if he was ignored in the States.
Also I don't think their rivalry was "friendly". Back in the day Boy George wasn't the nicest of people and have on several occasions spoken not too fondly of GM.
Calvin Gregory nah it wasn't friendly not back then atleast at a certain point GM threatened to whip Boy George and called him the B word because BG was making rude remarks towards him
Calvin Gregory Prince, Bowie and Michael were the real deal and we wont see the likes of them again.
Calvin Gregory 2016 was a horrible year for music.
@@aprilgosa5779 good thing George grew out of that phase of his
Love boy george since I was 13 yrs old . ...... I'm a few months from turning 50 & I still love boy george 😍😍😍😍
Boy George te veo muy lindo!!! saludos desde Argentina!!!
Happy Birthday Boy George! Forever young Gemini. You are 6 years young.
George Michael's manager was a Nichiren Buddhist and the slogan CHOOSE LIFE that Wham wore for Wake Me Up was from a book that came out around the same time, containing dialogue from a discussion between a prominent British Dr and the leader of one of the organisations claiming to represent Nichiren's teaching of Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. I'm not sure if George Michael ever chanted, but I often wonder now how different his life may have developed if he had done and continued to do as Boy George has.
can't believe how young George looks... and sounding so youthful too.
Why do I like Boy George? He seems like a nice guy. Love that accent too!
Yeah, British accent is the best!!!
@@camilayael2584 his British accent is nice, clear and sounds nice, but some are very difficult to understand
Nice guy and convicted rapist hes such a nice guy
McCarthy it's the past lol
he didnt rape anyone. go back reread what happened before you start slandering someone.
I love Boy George I'm so happy he's back
Your all Great Artists, you all have filled my life with awesome music and I thank you all from the top to the bottom of my heart. I look back at Boy George and The Culture Club all the time. Thank you all so much, I hold you dear in my heart. Beautifully Amazing. Peace & ♡Love♡ All, Blessings All.
Love listening to him speak, such a great person
Boy George has a great voice! Can't take that away from him!
Zelba Zee true but he needs to use it to sing not run his mouth about George Michael
April Gosa umm I hope you arent coughing THIS intervie because he was asked about george Michael.
Zelba Zee hardly, George Michael, is he?
@@skygazer6898 doesn't need to be
@@aprilgosa5779 From what i can remember, GM kept away from Boy George has he had a big mouth and was a gossip
Love Boy George! I discovered him when I was a kid! Every New Years they had old 80's music videos going on the television and I saw him and became a huge fan, even though he was wayyyy before my time. :) He looks happier than ever though, I'm so glad he seems to be in a really awesome place. x
Lysol Disinfectant Wipes me too. I was born in 1991. Hes before my time
...I always liked Boy George. Such great English personality. So glad, I was with him during the prime years of MTV. Best of times, indeed.
❤❤Boy George, always have and always will
I love Boy George such an eloquent speaker/conversationalist.
I'm so excited to FINALLY see Boy George and Culture Club this weekend. He's a phenomenal talent. It's always so sad thinking about George Michael ❤
RIP George Michael xxxx
I love Boy George. Love his laugh
What a loss I Loved George Michael sad sad
A true trailblazer. Much respect for him and his band.
He's so lovely in every way
He is right: The moment is now
God has blessed you and we will always be blessed having been around to see and admire you and ur work ..thank you my love 💋
Boy George looks so good. He is a great artist, love him.
He is so gorgeous 😍 l just love him. Always have💜
Never used to like him...he has REALLY grown and changed...my opinion has changed since he has...proud of you Boy George....🎩🤘
Patricia Heidgerken what didnt you like about him earlier on?
@@lessismore8533Perhaps Boy George was a bit too snarky for her. Boy George developed that reputation over time. His public persona quickly overshadowed his music.
Still love boy George music! 🦅🦅🇺🇸
Boy George is a legend.
I liked Culture Club back in the 80s, but how on Earth can Boy George say that Wham! wasn't popular in America?! I LIVED it, and I remember the mania over Wham! and George Michael. Yes, Culture Club got on the US charts first, by about a year or so. But in 1984, Wham!'s "Make it Big" album was a HUGE success! When Wham! toured America in 1985, Culture Club was already waning in popularity. People in the U.S. were crazy for George Michael and Wham!, long before GM's "Faith" album. Just stating the facts.
MsKim14
With all due respect,
I think you misunderstood his statement...
I saw the video twice and I guess he meant to say that they both were famous in America but not at the same time...
And I think I agree...
Thinking back I remember Boy George and Culture Club hit wave was in the early '80s (82/85)
But Wham strong years and later George Michael solo carrier spam from mid '80s to early '90s and beyond...
MsKim14 I remember that I was a teenager in 1984 and enjoyed watching wake me up before you go go video! That started wham fan base growth. Rest In Peace G.M
He is exactly right I lived it too. How many songs from Wham top the charts? Culture Club was killing it
There are stars and there are STARS! Never bored. Never boring. 💖
Right off the bat my mom adored Boy George. She saw the man he was, the talent, the hardships. I agreed with her. Sometime's people never look past the external. Life is bigger! If you can't see the "heart" in Boy George, you are blind! That's the tragity! I am 67 now. Every year his "heart" grows bigger.
It's nice that the artist is who he is, he has opinions and thoughts just like everyone else. Boy George is special gay or not he is a great man who has a lot to share with others.
Boy George you look so great & happy. God Bless!! Awe my George Michael he was such angel. He is looking down on us smiling.
love and compassion is here to stay
His eyes are ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍
TWO OF THE GREATEST 80s TREASURES OF MY CHILDHOOD!!!!! #continue2ripgeorgemichael.
Always a pleasure to see Boy George. Always was classy to me
He has always been my fashion hero..meaning just dress with how you feel ..my grandaughter has just come out at 14 years of age 💃
Boy George's makeup looks fantastic. Sad about George Michaels, extremely sad, I have to include Michael Jackson in this both were great artists.
I used to love it when they would tweet each other. That was so cute to me.
George Michael was always the more sophiscated uppercut as an artist and had sooooooo much more to give RIP sweetheart George 25/12/2015
Sophisticated as in cruising public toilets? Yeah.
He cruised public toilets now and again, for grown men who knew what they were doing, as long as he didn't touch children or teenagers, I'm not bothered by George's love / sex life.
Sharon Garvey you probably meant 2016 not 2015
@@desertrose1226 Yes because looking for sex in public toilets is really classy, right?
Sharon Garvey who cares! They're both great yall quit comparing.
He was handsome then and he is handsome still!!! I love the '80s!!!
Love your presence always George!
In the 1980's Boy George was so positive in his interviews. By the late 80's early 90's he wasn't as positive. I'm happy that he is back to being is old self again.
He clearly had a lot of growing up to do and he had become very jaded of celebrity and made cynical by it. Show business can really devour people emotionally and mentally and physically. The time in prison likely woke him up and humbled him.
Sorry the goolge bot kept writing for me . Boy is not being bitchy, he is just sharing his memories of G. Michael's. Life is a thrilling rollercoaster ride of love, pain and boredom. Thanks 💜💜💜🎸☠💜💜💜😸
I agree with you Natasha 100%
Love boy george
