so smart so intelligent so brave so courageous. so proud of you. you stood your ground to this prick and now they can look back and feel STUPID. GREAT JOB GEORGE. RIP.
Jean Greenfield couldn't agree with you more. He should have gone into politics! An amazing man, he will be missed. So sad he lost this wonderful confidence.
Artists usually are detached from reality🙄he was not only a genius in music but intelligent, brilliant man. RIP George, you will be missed but your music will stay with us forever❤️😢
Anyone that was capable of writing “Careless Whisper” at 17 years old is one very intelligent, honest, very aware of his surroundings, certainly was no one’s fool and had a great sense of humor. George’s father wanted him to be a lawyer and he certainly would have made a brilliant attorney but thank our lucky stars George wanted to be a pop star. If anyone is questioning George’s intelligence all they have to do is read the lyrics to the songs he wrote. People need to get over one’s sexual preference. Thank you George Michael for being you.
I've always disliked the terms we apply to deaths 'gone too soon', 'far too early' and such. Death knows it's own time. I take it more that George, God love him, had completed his work here on this mortal coil. We are most fortunate to have myriads of film, tape, video and vinyl, to hear his profound words, his viewpoints on various topics & issues. We can refer to them anytime. George is finally free of all & any pain he suffered here. For that, one can only be grateful. We were so blessed to have had him for as long as we did. ✌💜💜💜
I'm really really proud of the way George gave account of himself here and didn't let the interviewer intimidate him. I know this guy whoever he is thinks he's doing his job as a journalist and playing devil's advocate but he defeats the point of the interview if your head is left buzzing because you thought you were going to watch a civilised discussion and the interviewer turns it in to anything but.
I get the feeling that Tim Sebastian was planning to bully George into answering his questions in the way he wanted. The problem was that the interviewer got roasted like he has never been before. Underestimating your guest is the mother of all fuckups Tim.
This is so excellent. Thank god for George Michael. A brave appearance I say. I'm seeing him live in feb, he is an anchor in my childhood development of music. Smart and talented man. Makes Noel look like a fool. Love it!
do we really have to be here to discuss it? Do we really want to stay here looking for this man's weaknesses? well, I'll save you the trouble: George had no weaknesses. admire his flawlessness, his humble yet self-confident being, without ever being arrogant. gifted, gifted with common sense, gifted with a sense of humor. the best, my God. even the reference to his song "star people" misled that interviewer ... the meaning of the song was PERFECTLY RELEVANT TO THE TOPIC. ah, if only you were still here ... the world needs your help so much, if you go give us a hand from Heaven, here still many people love you, and are grateful to you, for your music, your voice .. . for your life. I love you madly.
i wasn’t born yet and since i don’t even know how’s going politics nowadays i don’t even now then. but i see, i capture, i understand that the idea he was trying to express was right and fair. and i’m shocked to see how brave and admirable he was: he kept trying talking about a strange situation while i could perfectly sat on his sofa listening and re listening to his own songs enjoying what he has done, but no, he was a true Human, a true Man. he brought his ideas against the massive giants of media. i admire you. “he was an idol then, now he’s an idol here.”
GM understands popular culture much more than the interviewer... he makes the interviewers questions and views seem dated or really uninformed. Nice job! I dont think the interview expected that from a pop star. Well done.
I have seen George many times being interviewed or chatting with tv hosts or journalists involving politics or his career, and he NEVER backs down. He was brilliant at speaking his mind while making his remarks both intelligent and entertaining. OMG the negativity George had to cope with. That tv host was a prick!
George Michael was yet another who took the brunt for the sheeples, who remain afraid to speak truth and act upon it. Everyone looking after their own butts ... I have the greatest of regard for this man's courage in calling out the bs in no uncertain terms. If more people spoke up and actually acted ... what a better world this would be.
he was spot on about why they couldnt really knock down saddam at the time because the terrorist and fundamentalists were jsut waiting on the opportunity to seize power..which is excactly what happened now. ISIS is stronger than ever
This journalist's behaviour is unacceptable. He keeps interrupting George Michael in the middle of his answers, but George still manages to speak his mind! What an extraordinary man! And it's even more amazing that this interview was before 07/07/2005, the day of the terrorist attacks in London. George predicted all of this with his remarkable intelligence.
This was NOT the day before 7/7. This was in 2003, weeks before the war started. You're thinking of the Olympics being awarded to London the day before 7/7, that actually happened.
@@rolybling It's what Chrys Gnt was saying : "this interview was before 07/07/2005, the day of the terrorist attacks in London" , not the day before , but a couple of years before
OMG george michael...you are not only the most talented man on the planet---bar none.... but you are also an intelligent man with principles!!! go george michael...show the phonies up...love you, roz
He was so right at 3:37 when he said that 'You cannot do this at the moment when the entire Fundamentalist Terrorist Network around the world is waiting for this to legitimise what they want to do'
Yeees wow i was thinking the same when he said that sentence ,i just said to myself wow, GM was just so ahead with his vision on the subject now you see he was so right ,the whole region is a big mess since SH gone
People forget how difficult it was for the average guy in the street to express these kind of views back then let alone a celebrity. It was scary how many of us were for the invasion and now regret it.
Interviewers like this (sorry to say, old white males who believe they are special and entitled simply because they are old white males) seemed to believe they were going to "get" George Michael in some way which, of course, then they were shocked to find how much GM understood, how much he knew, how articulate and passionate he was and that he himself was not the lapdog that Blair showed himself to be. The fact Sebastian opened by asking if GM wrote the song and against the war in Iraq because it was "fashionable" is the first shot out of the gate to try to immediately paint GM as frivolous - it was intentional. It is so satisfying when these guys get confronted with the reality of who GM truly was. The interviewer here came off as a would be bully and someone else other than GM might have taken the bait.
Wow George is really telling him. I am from the US and while i may feel a bit butthurt by what he is saying i thought Shoot the Dog was funny. It was funny. Geez!!
This interviewer is very disrespectful and rude. At the end of the day it shouldn't bother george, me or anyone because who's the legend that will be remembered for generations out of these two? George Michael
HEERS THANK YOU. MR GOURGE. .ICBEAL FOR TELLING THE TRUTH AND THE. EST PART OF THIS INTER VEIW GOURGE TGE SO. CALLED. HARD TALK MAN WAS YOU MADE HARD TALK MAN SH IN T HIM SELF LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW OMG THANK U MR GOURGE MICHAEL .. LOVE FROM HART TO YOURS GOURGE VE DONNA. SAYERS.
To be perfectly honest, the lyrics did caught my attention exactly on that "Tony Tony, I know that your're horny, but there's something about that Bush ain't right". And at that point, I couldn't agree more with George. That was how I always felt about Tony Blair. Oh! and also, It would be nice if you ALL could write more intelligent stuff than just, "Oh George, you are super intelligent"... think a little, not just comment.
George non so cosa ti dice sto vecchio bacucco ma dalla tua espressione ti sta facendo arrabbiare e tantissimo. La tua proverbiale educazione greca che i tuoi genitori ti hanno trasmesso ha fatto sì che non l'hai mandato al paese di Pulcinella e alzarti andandotene. Per cortesia i sottotitoli in italiano. Accontetami perché vorrei sapere ogni sua piccola parola. George sei sempre nel mio cuore compagno della mia gioventù e mi manchi tantissimo. ❤❤❤
Your level of education has nothing to do with intelligence. George went to a state school, the interviewer went to the fee paying Westminster School and he also went to Oxford University. I rest my case.
history proved him right!
Such a wonderful, brave man he was. A man who stood by his convictions. There needs to be more people like him in the world.
Absolutely. I miss him actually we need more people like him in the music industry
I agree with him 100 percent
so smart so intelligent so brave so courageous. so proud of you. you stood your ground to this prick and now they can look back and feel STUPID. GREAT JOB GEORGE. RIP.
Satya Pandey 🤘👌
Fantastic interview :) George has more wisdom and compassion than most politicians . Certainly Blair .
Jean Greenfield couldn't agree with you more. He should have gone into politics! An amazing man, he will be missed. So sad he lost this wonderful confidence.
George was way ahead of his time. Saw through the nonsense. Miss him more each day. 2022 love you George. Don't take any crap. Love Love Love you
Well done GM, very impressive seeing you stand your ground.
Artists usually are detached from reality🙄he was not only a genius in music but intelligent, brilliant man. RIP George, you will be missed but your music will stay with us forever❤️😢
He is the complete package! Brilliant Man!

WELL said!
George knows what he's talking about good interview.and best artist ever.💙
My respect for George Michael shot up 1000%. Go, George!
I believe the interviewer was not quite ready for the answers he got! George is a super smart person.
Nor do I.
Interviewer keeps interrupting!
@@SkazkiPeredSnom i believe he wanted to get his way on the line of questioning. Maybe he wasn’t aware of how smart George was.
@@darioperes8923 George should have just told him, "Just give me a chance to finish my sentence and actually answer your question".
George is not going to let anyone undermine his intelligence like so often the media tried to do. Thats why he had such a distaste for them.
I can watch it over and over again....so inteligent and articulate man he was 😢
You are so right and strong willed George. He cares deeply. He is so amazing.
I've always disliked the terms we apply to deaths 'gone too soon', 'far too early' and such. Death knows it's own time.

Wise words

he will be bigger in his next life.. god bless G.M
Drives me crazy that the interviewer never lets him finish his response before interrupting.
One of the best interviews with a pop star ever
He holds his own superbly. Miss you George x
He's intelligent and brave to expose himself. He's got all the right to state his political opinions.
George stands strong on his beliefs! He is super intelligent! He is amazing.
i always knew this man was intelligent, great answers, great voice, great look.
Fantastic interview. George I love you RIP xxxxxxxxxxxx
very sharp guy
what a prophesy george was right about blair
I wish the bloody interviewer would stop interrupting! George was articulate and intellegent.
His passion and smarts make him even more sexy. SMART IS
SO SEXY IN MY OPINION.
God bless George Michael for telling the truth and standing up to the Establishment including the BBC and Rupert Murdoch. RIP.
I had to look up definitions to George's words....My Goodness he was BRILLIANT....
I get the feeling that Tim Sebastian was planning to bully George into answering his questions in the way he wanted.
The problem was that the interviewer got roasted like he has never been before. Underestimating your guest is the mother of all fuckups Tim.

What an intelligent man. RIP Mr George Micheal.
Sheesh, George, you are killing this man! Lmbooo🤣🤣😭
Good to see GM grilling and lecturing Tim Sebastian
do we really have to be here to discuss it? Do we really want to stay here looking for this man's weaknesses? well, I'll save you the trouble: George had no weaknesses.
admire his flawlessness, his humble yet self-confident being, without ever being arrogant.
gifted, gifted with common sense, gifted with a sense of humor.
the best, my God.

Well done George I don't normally listen to politics bullshit but you did speak on behalf of all of us...RIP XXXX

He was brilliant at speaking his mind while making his remarks both intelligent and entertaining. OMG the negativity George had to cope with. That tv host was a prick!
Stunning Michaela , you are hearing this. Brilliant articulation !!!!
George Michael I love you & you're so AMAZING! ❤💖
George would be a great lawyer!
Really, the interviewer saying "you tell me" reflects just how clueless he is to George's discourse.
Aaawwww ,george...my man👍🥰😇
I love to hear him speak and most definitely SING!❤️❤️❤️❤️

very well said

Sebastian the bully, outsmarted by the brilliant, calm, poised George Michael. May George rest in peace. Thank you George, for your shining light
Well said!!
Love you George.sooo deeply.
Like a true Spartan warrior he fought alone the Empire and he won a remarkable victory ! R.I.P
I wish the interviewer would let him speak! George knew what he was talking about.
George was awesome.
God bless YOU

AMAZING, George your a smart handsome! to me: PROPHETIC!
How right he was George Michael was great how he spoke his mind only if a lot more was like him
go for it george, you are totalling pissing
over him!
Lol yeees he nailed it
You go George!! You're so smart, other artist should look up to you
he is so inteligent!
George was so right. 7/7......all because Blair cosied up to Bush. A fabulous artist who was super intelligent. Miss him.
Браво Джордж 👏💔
OMG george michael...you are not only the most talented man on the planet---bar none.... but you are also an intelligent man with principles!!! go george michael...show the phonies up...love you, roz
I love you George! I so agree with you!
now the whole world agree with him he was just so ahead with that subject RIP beautiful man WE all miss you
He was so right at 3:37 when he said that 'You cannot do this at the moment when the entire Fundamentalist Terrorist Network around the world is waiting for this to legitimise what they want to do'
Yeees wow i was thinking the same when he said that sentence ,i just said to myself wow, GM was just so ahead with his vision on the subject now you see he was so right ,the whole region is a big mess since SH gone
Yeah, considering how everything has panned out since, this is an almost prophetic statement. GM was well on the ball with this.
George was so right at 3:49! Now we know
yeees 110%
such an amazing man wow so intelligent so talented .And what is his iq .Love you George Michael
I wish the interviewer just shut up and listened.
People forget how difficult it was for the average guy in the street to express these kind of views back then let alone a celebrity. It was scary how many of us were for the invasion and now regret it.
Great Interview.
Love both these men.
Thanks for sharing.
Tim Sebastian had no sympathy or respect for George Michael whatsoever. Very aggressive style. George held his own quite well here.
George was more of a man than Teflon Tony did he have him sussed
So right.
They were so mean to him in the newspaper
I'm sure GM is laughing his butt off now because America voted for Donald Trump as President. RIP George.
He predicted that Donald Trump will win. Kenny said so after George passed away.
He got shit on by the mainstream media around this time for criticizing the Blair government and the “war on terror”.
My respect for George went up.
Borac za mir u svetu bravo George . KADA bi i politicari imali ovakav stav ne bi bilo ratova i scijalnih razlika kao danas 👍👍👍
I've always been disgusted by Blair and Bush and everyone since.

@trixe00
I totally Agree......
how weird after the war we are penalising george with his views...and now we are grilling mr blair on his actions
Please can you translate the video into Arabic, I tried to understand but to no avail

1st February 2021 vote George
Hi you are welcome! This interview is from February 26, 2003.
Omfg Dr Phil and count chocula would you please stop arguing already ?!! 😂
Why was George Michaels shirt covered in chocolate? Because he was careless with his Wispa.
Second that.
The level of intelligence and bravery.
And I'm disappointed with Noel. Over the years I found him a bit of annoying and coky.
what was his education level? he sounds so intelligent.
Your level of education has nothing to do with intelligence. George went to a state school, the interviewer went to the fee paying Westminster School and he also went to Oxford University. I rest my case.
Which yr this interview?
2003, I think.
