Never heard about George Michael? Holy lord, a lot work to do 😉 he is THE one, so talented, so lost, so beautiful! He wasn’t just the singer, but also the composer, producer! So I don’t know where to start… Listen to his greatest hits: Freedom, faith for the uptempo hits but to get his soul: Father figure, spinning the wheel, one more try… His best duets: don’t let the sun go down (Elton John) and with Aretha Franklin: … waiting …! Do yourself a favor and dive into a piece of pop music history! You won’t regret it, and if you do I will send you a box of European beer or Limonade (as you want) I promise!
i had most of my teens in the 80's.i always wish i had been like 20 in 1980 so i could have been a new romantic and be present for it all the way you can when your an adult but can't when your a kid going into their teens
George wrote this when he was just 17. He is SUCH a treasure with decades of amazing music to delve into. My personal favourites are One More Try and Praying for Time. Enjoy the ride! Cheers from Canada :). But RIP to an INCREDIBLE artist. We lost George way too early. Sad loss for the music industry.
This Song Is Rightly Regarded as a CLASSIC This Was George Michael's FIRST Solo Song & Yes It Was a No1 Hit Worldwide He Wrote This When He Was Just 17years old. Brilliant Song Still Sounds Amazing after 40 years ago.
Oh wow! You might want to stay a bit here. This man was huge in the 80's. He started with the band Wham! and then had a very successful career when he went solo. So many hits I can't name them all. He withstood a very public scandal. And he appeared to be a genuinely sweet soul. Gone too soon, RIP George.
You need to take a deep dive into George Michael’s music. He is one of the greatest of all time. Musical genius. He wrote, played all instruments and produced.
Being just a teen when he wrote this song, he was so far emotionally advanced than most teens. And that voice - velvet. 2016 was the worst - Prince died in April, George died on Christmas. RIP.
I personally think most teens of his era were emotionally advanced, at least compared to the teens of this era that's either too emotional or not emotional enough.
This was my favorite song back when it was 1st released. I remember watching the video on MTV as often as I could & just swooning to the saxophone solo & it frankly still weakens my knees all these decades later, lol.
It was 1984. Wham!, the pop group that rose George Michael to stardom, was on top of the world and this was actually released as a Wham! song (and is by far their best). However, it's insane success was what launched his solo career.
And the songs you'll want to hear are "Faith", "Father Figure", "I Want Your Sex", and his amazing duet with Elton John on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"
This man was as generous as Keanu Reeves and just as nice, George had a fabulous sense of humour.. and although he is no longer with us his music still lives.. fabulous writer and amazing voice..
It's always felt funny to see how he went to become such a great singer - I remember him as a teenager (we are the same age group) and I met him at his cousins party in Palmers Green, (North London) in the 80s: the cousin's brother was a great friend of my older brother's. That was a great party!!! He wasn't singing then, and had acne and was a bit of a chubby boy, not as cute as he ended up being. Had a great chat with him though, really nice guy. He ended up being such a a great singer.. and I knew him before he was amazing and famous! Cool for me!! ..
George wrote this song and KNEW it would hit. It took him so many years to get it produced to HIS liking. But man.. that man knew how to write a song. My personal favorite of his. Just.. run down the rabbit hole, you won't be disappointed. Behind this, I choose Freedom "90. Just because I can't get over the message he was giving us.
Love George. As far as I am concerned the man could do no wrong. Amazing catalog of songs. Anything of him singing live is on perfection. RIP George. I miss you being in the world.
Yes Yes Yes!!! The Strangest thing is my go to song 💜 although if you don't know about George then some might not understand 💜 An absolutely amazing song, but then aren't all of George's 💜
George Michael is one of the biggest 80’s music stars. This song he did with Wham, but he followed up with a solo career which didn’t even drop off from Wham, which is a 2 man band. You need to go down Wham/George Michael rabbit hole. Side note: He’s got one of the best modern Christmas songs, and ironically he died on Christmas Day.
Great reaction! George was a legend. RIP. Check out him singing live with Elton John: "George Michael, Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Live)". It's brilliant! Two legends on the stage together, a special moment in time.
George michael was one of the true greats. Check out more of his back catalogue because you're in for a treat. This isn't even close to his best song it's just a taster for what was to come.
everyone has a boyband when growing up.the one you get depends on whose popular when your in your teens.for me it was wham. this was the band george was in with his class mate andrew ridgley before he went solo. they wrote their own songs. this came out in 84. yes that was a sax. the sax was popular in the 80's he even help match make one of their backing singers shirley with the guitarist from fellow 80's group spandu ballet.they are still married now. please do more wham,george and spandu ballet.
No no no, this is a great song but he went on to write, produce and sing many others that were far superior. He got better and better as he got older. There's no way this is better than Spinning The Wheel, for example, or Jesus To A Child, his writing was so much better later on, this is like 1984, he was just beginning really.
Like Wayne's World and "Bohemian Rhapsody," this song got another life with "Deadpool." Wade talks about blasting this outside Vanessa's window in the next life, and it plays over the final credits.
When this beautiful song by George Michael came out I was 12 years old....in Europe it was a great success....I remember that all the Italian radios broadcast this song
I usuallly don’t even sub to folks who haven’t reacted to George Michael cause he’s my favorite ever!! But I took a chance on your channel cause I love your reactions. Now jump on the train and listen to some more!! Smoothest voice ever! ❤
This video is from 1984. He wrote the song when he was only 16/17. His voice only got better with the years. You should listen to his MTV Unplugged performance from 1998. His vocals, especially on ‘A Different Corner’ are truly amazing….
George Michael was big when I was in highschool. But I was a dedicated "metal head" and never listened to "that soft crap". Due to my arrogance, It's one of the worst decisions I ever made. When I got older and finally LISTENED to George Michael, Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder and all the other incredible artists that I was casually dismissing.... it was very humbling and embarrassing. I'm very happy for the trend of reaction videos opening up great music of all genres. Limiting yourself to only one type or style of music is tragic.
This song, at least the extended album version, was literally the first song I heard on the radio in 1985, playing exactly at midnight on January 1 of that year. Based upon The Billboard Magazine year-end Hot 100 chart of 1985, "Careless Whisper" finished at number one, also.
Yes that was a saxophone but even though they’re made out of brass they are classified as a “reed” instrument due to the mouth piece using a reed just like the clarinet and are technically woodwind instruments not brass
You must check out more George Michael: "I Want Your Sex" "Faith" "Dont Let The Sun Go Down On Me" (duet w/Elton John) "As" (duet w/Mary J. Blige) "I Knew You Were Waiting" (duet w/Aretha Franklin)
Please try Floor Janssen and Henk Poort with their performances of the fantoom Most views ever in the Netherlands Also Eurovision winner Duncan Laurence with his song Arcade
You have to check out the hard rock version of this song by Seether. It sounds killer. I heard this song was about his gay lover. This was back when it was still ok to make fun of people. So, he wrote the song in code.
Never heard about George Michael? Holy lord, a lot work to do 😉 he is THE one, so talented, so lost, so beautiful! He wasn’t just the singer, but also the composer, producer!
So I don’t know where to start…
Listen to his greatest hits:
Freedom, faith for the uptempo hits but to get his soul:
Father figure, spinning the wheel, one more try…
His best duets: don’t let the sun go down (Elton John) and with Aretha Franklin: … waiting …!
Do yourself a favor and dive into a piece of pop music history! You won’t regret it, and if you do I will send you a box of European beer or Limonade (as you want) I promise!
That's been a beautiful and passionate offer. 🙂
I wonder if Shon ever received something from you...?
All the very best from Germany
I miss the 80's so much!
The eighties were the best❤️💯
i had most of my teens in the 80's.i always wish i had been like 20 in 1980 so i could have been a new romantic and be present for it all the way you can when your an adult but can't when your a kid going into their teens
Class of 85.
Today's time sux compared to back then
The greatest decade
@@andreadeamon6419im class of 85 too!!

George Michael was such a beautiful, talented and generous man. 🇬🇧🎶🎶🎶
It's was the biggest hit of summer 1984 in both UK 🇬🇧 and USA 🇺🇸
I miss George Michael 🥲
Guilty feet got no rhythm ill never dance again is a sick line.
I always thought this was such a powerful line. I can’t believe Shon didn’t mention it! Lol
Tonight the music seems so loud>>>
@@lorrigaines4902I'am sure he listen 5 times more all text to understand everything 😊😊😊
George have many beautiful songs👍👍👍
This Song Is Rightly Regarded as a CLASSIC This Was George Michael's FIRST Solo Song & Yes It Was a No1 Hit Worldwide He Wrote This When He Was Just 17years old. Brilliant Song Still Sounds Amazing after 40 years ago.
One of my favorite vibes🔥🎷🥁🎹🎤TONIGHT THE MUSIC SEEMS SO LOUD!!!
George Michael was treasure. He wrote this aged 17! He is sooo missed❤🎼🫂
One of the greatest songs ever written!
Oh wow! You might want to stay a bit here. This man was huge in the 80's. He started with the band Wham! and then had a very successful career when he went solo. So many hits I can't name them all.

A timeless and omnipresent song!
You need to take a deep dive into George Michael’s music. He is one of the greatest of all time. Musical genius. He wrote, played all instruments and produced.
Be sure to check out George Michael Unplugged singing "Everything She Wants" and his other song 'Fast Love. His voice is phenomenal.
Welcome to the amazing world of George Michael 💜 You have only just scratched the surface, enjoy my friend 💜
Being just a teen when he wrote this song, he was so far emotionally advanced than most teens. And that voice - velvet. 2016 was the worst - Prince died in April, George died on Christmas. RIP.
Wow prince has been gone this long? Wow. " hard to say goodbye" to these legends.
I personally think most teens of his era were emotionally advanced, at least compared to the teens of this era that's either too emotional or not emotional enough.
@azekel7687 this generation. LORD help us.
Last Christmas in fact
Another amazing thing..he wrote this song when he was 17.

Everything She Wants is the JAM!! Wham had great songs too. And everything on his Faith album is fire!!
Released in ‘84. 😉 Great reaction Shon.
George Michael made so many perfect songs... 🤩
I Knew You Were Waiting For Me with George Michael and Aretha Franklin is a must see
"One More Try" Shon ... It'll rip your heart out ...💔🥲
Dude wrote these lyrics when he was like 17 years old. Damn.
See this song as a live version from 1983 in China.. The Saxophon 🎷 is incredible.. Wonderful playing...
Yessss more George Michael & Wham!😊
This man was as generous as Keanu Reeves and just as nice, George had a fabulous sense of humour.. and although he is no longer with us his music still lives.. fabulous writer and amazing voice..

You are very lucky.
I@@kimcutts6153 I am, I totally know it!
My son calls this "the sexy saxophone song" ❤ beautiful lyrics sung by such a beautiful voice.
Oh, this was George Michael's Miami Moment. This song/video came out in 1984!!! George has the voice of an angel.
George wrote this song and KNEW it would hit. It took him so many years to get it produced to HIS liking. But man.. that man knew how to write a song.
My personal favorite of his. Just.. run down the rabbit hole, you won't be disappointed. Behind this, I choose Freedom "90. Just because I can't get over the message he was giving us.
Love George. As far as I am concerned the man could do no wrong. Amazing catalog of songs. Anything of him singing live is on perfection. RIP George. I miss you being in the world.
Rest please to freedom by him.
George Michael "THE STRANGEST THING" is 🔥🔥🔥 (studio version).
Yes Yes Yes!!! The Strangest thing is my go to song 💜 although if you don't know about George then some might not understand 💜 An absolutely amazing song, but then aren't all of George's 💜
His version of I can’t make you love me is spine tingling….George, always dependable, always there for the right mood.

The 90's😂😂😂😂😂. Just kidding, but seriously George Michael is a TRUE LEGEND. he will never disappoint you
Freedom! '90 would be my next suggestion just because it's a great song. Cheers.
George michael was one of the true greats. Check out more of his back catalogue because you're in for a treat. This isn't even close to his best song it's just a taster for what was to come.
everyone has a boyband when growing up.the one you get depends on whose popular when your in your teens.for me it was wham.
this was the band george was in with his class mate andrew ridgley before he went solo.
they wrote their own songs.
this came out in 84.
yes that was a sax.
the sax was popular in the 80's
he even help match make one of their backing singers shirley with the guitarist from fellow 80's group spandu ballet.they are still married now.
please do more wham,george and spandu ballet.
I think this is the best song from George Michael. Beautiful in every way. Goosebumps all over! 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️
No no no, this is a great song but he went on to write, produce and sing many others that were far superior. He got better and better as he got older. There's no way this is better than Spinning The Wheel, for example, or Jesus To A Child, his writing was so much better later on, this is like 1984, he was just beginning really.
I prefer Different Corner.
He tested 6 or 7 sax players trying to get just the right sound. He wrote it at 15, produced it at 20. I miss George so very much. ✨

"Freedom! '90" is such a terrific anthem by George.
One of the best classic songs from the early 80s.
This came out in 1984, great childhood memories!
Now you need to do the George Michael/Aretha Franklin duet. One of the best songs ever.
This came out in 1984. George was only 21
This video came out in 1984 he was just aged 21 and just 17 when he wrote this gem.
He has an endless catalogue of hits.
Like Wayne's World and "Bohemian Rhapsody," this song got another life with "Deadpool." Wade talks about blasting this outside Vanessa's window in the next life, and it plays over the final credits.
One of my favorite songs. I never tire of hearing this. Thanks for the reaction.
When this beautiful song by George Michael came out I was 12 years old....in Europe it was a great success....I remember that all the Italian radios broadcast this song
A different corner, and from Wham!: Club tropicana, Bad boys, and during Xmas: Last Christmas.
Don't forget wham rap. I still remember every word
80’s all the way
'Hey, this is a love making song' - LOL
This pairs well with Tina Turner’s “Private Dancer.”
Agreed. And Sade’s “Smooth Operator”.
Came out mid 80s!
I usuallly don’t even sub to folks who haven’t reacted to George Michael cause he’s my favorite ever!! But I took a chance on your channel cause I love your reactions. Now jump on the train and listen to some more!! Smoothest voice ever! ❤
Listen to 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'. George Michael and Elton John together. You will love it too.
Greetings from Germany.
The extended version of this was the best song at the prom..... for obvious reasons.
This video is from 1984. He wrote the song when he was only 16/17. His voice only got better with the years. You should listen to his MTV Unplugged performance from 1998. His vocals, especially on ‘A Different Corner’ are truly amazing….
I was 17 when this came out and it was unbelievably good. I loved watching you feel it too!
Music is emotion.
This was from 1984. It was huge. I still have the album on vinyl.
Truly romantic song!
My forever favorite song!❤
80s 🎷 🔥
I was born in 88' so most likely my parents were grinding to this one
So many great songs. Check out Fast Love (official video) to enjoy another side of this incredible artist. RIP George, you are dearly missed.
Private dancer by Tina Turner, official video.
Sade, Sweetest Taboo, official video

Here is my next suggestion: George Michael tribute concert Freddie Mercury with 'Somebody To Love', 1992. Impressive!
Greetings from Germany again.
My first school dance, this My first dance with my girlfriend. Fuxk I miss the 80s
Another great video, I think your reactions are brilliant

Darlin a great slow dance , feel the sway
This song came out in 1984
Great reaction to a beautiful song❤️
You are adorable. thank you.
Yes that was a saxophone but even though they’re made out of brass they are classified as a “reed” instrument due to the mouth piece using a reed just like the clarinet and are technically woodwind instruments not brass
Just watcht the Wham documentary. Perfect reaction.
You're the man Shon, great reaction, new sub 👍
Best reaction ever!
Lol you crack me up!!!
I loved this song when it came out. It always made me think of the girl that I lost for doing some stupid shit like this. Classic song!!
Father Figure . Clutch 😊
Just love your reactions!
That's a good one!❤❤
Everything she wants Wham is another great song yuo should check.
You're right, my dude. I'm a child of the 80s and 90s and I can attest that George Michael was a panty peeler
You should check out Seether’s cover of this song as well 👍
Seither did a cover of this that’s fire
Love your reaction! So fun to watch videos with you! This was the most played song on radio from 1985 to 1999!
