We lost so many Legends and Icons in 2016. 😔
Elektra is it the legend 27?
Elektra so true it's a sign hope I die tomorrow
Elektra ikr
I could never forget Alan Rickman, i love the harry potter series.
2016 sucks so bad that we lost so many Legends.Dear 2017 please be not so cruel like last year.It is enough!!!
As a grown man I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when I heard the passing of george. Beautiful tribute and he will always be missed and his life will carry on in his music ❤
Me too. Love the guy
So did i Brother regards from South América❤
So did I and seeing and hearing songs of him sometimes still makes me cry. He was such an awesome singer and human being. I’ve been lucky enough to have seen him live and he really was an unbelievable talented guy.
Totally ❤
Couldn’t agree more. Miss him😢
George Michael was not only a musical genius, he was a man who cared deeply about others. He his missed deeply.
George Michael passing away on Christmas was one of the most painful times I've ever experienced. Still I tear up thinking of the immense loss to the world of music. Miss you George
it still is now that its 2021 and nearly xmas time ,last christmas is one of my all time fav xmas songs
Traduire en français svp merci
You are very blessed. If the death of the beloved George Michael was the worst you experienced, than you have had a blessed life so far. Hope you carry on being a light-cross-carrier for ever.
I have tears now
, and now again in 2023...
To all American viewers - Red Nose Day is part of a charity called Comic Relief, where people wear red nose badges to support the event. The last event in 2015 raised around £78 Million ($96 Million) on the night. And since it was founded in 1985, the charity in the UK has raised in total £1,047,083,706 (around $1.3 Billion) for disadvantaged people in the United Kingdom and Africa. So it is something we brits are proud of actually. The next event will be held in March this year 2017.
Yes, but the British version was the first. And for a small island, the money raised each Red Nose Day is just amazing.
Yes, you do, but Comic Relief is a British charity. In America they raised the equivalent of £18 million, which is nothing compared with the £78 million raised by the U.K., especially when you take into consideration population and wealth. Does the US have a different version, as in a day where TV is devoted to a particular charity and everyone fundraises for it? All the kids celebrate it and do what they can to contribute? It would be cool if you did...
And 90% of it goes straight back into the governments funds each year while the children continue to be abused and starve. You really think if we were raising 77 million pounds a year there wouldn't be a dramatic decrease disadvantaged children in the U.K. And Africa. Same goes for cancer research. We are only funding the government but U.K. Are blind to it
well said, OXFAM been asking for money since i was a kid for wells, always wondered why there still got no water sytem money theu must of raised over the years , but then you see on charity shop door manager wanted 30k plus bonuses you realise its a sham
My father was a roadie for George Michael some years ago, and I will always be grateful to him for giving me the chance to meet George in person. I was 12 years old at the time, and I saw George backstage. He immediatly turned his attention to me as my father introduced. Despite the fact that there were tons of people present in the room, and many journalists wanted his attention, he spend almost 20 minutes talking to me! And though I was nervous, he just smiled and kept asking me about my musical preferences and stuff. I got to tell him that "Bad Boys" was my favorite song of his, and he was happy to hear that. He thought it was refreshing, since most people always said "Faith" or "Wake Me Up". 🙌
I will always remember him, and will never forget how he reserved time for an annoying little kid he didn't know at all. But it also makes his death that much harder to cope with. R.I.P Legend 😢
Now THAT was a great story. Thanks for sharing! The world is a sadder place without George Michael in it.
Word Unheard Thanks man. It's so rare that these superstars are like you imagine them in real life... but George really was just as we all think he is. My father have worked with many celeb musicians, and he always said that George was one of the most comfortable artists to work with -He would always hang out and dine with the crew ;)
That a beautiful story, George Micheal is one of the reasons I got into singing and the first album I ever bought was "Faith', This man will be always be remembered for passion and soul he had for his music.
Mickey Holmgaard You are truly blessed to have a father like you do, and yet you still seem very humble. Your father raised you well.
Word Unheard Thanks for the kind words. I've always respected my father immensely for having brought me into his work. I mean, the koncert-business is a very darkened world most of the time, and most roadies keep it separated from family and so on. But he said that he didn't wanna miss out on my childhood, so he always brought me along when there was time. He said he wanted me to know every side of the music-business, and that he wanted to make sure I got a great musical "education" .I'd like to think I succeeded there ;)
George Michael was an EXTRAORDINARY human being. A brilliant artist, by all accounts incredibly kind, incredibly honest as an artist and man. We lost him WAY too soon...
Way too soon!!!! So sad! Miss him
@@morgana7893 I miss him, too, in no small part because he was a constantly evolving artist, and man. I was ALWAYS moved by him, in his music, or in interviews as he talked about things in general. A fascinating guy, and no doubt there was a ripple in The Force at his passing...
Absolutely, my heart has been Broken, God Bless George we Love you❤💎👑
George Michael wasnt only one of the world's very best voices, he was also very humble and Human. The sense of loss, and void is still overwhelming to this day, just thinking he is no longer amongst us. we are left with his body of work however it is only a glimpse of the great person he was.
What a lovely story. I recently came across his grave by accident and it’s made me reflect on his music and legacy. Such a kind soul.
Thank you so much for honoring George Michael 😗
"what is your chosen faith?"
"I think George Michael's version is still the best"
Come fly with me at its best
Ha!
Chris Carter Take a bow..
Chris Carter How many times a week do you eat curry?
Mighty Marouane Fellaini this man has a racist agenda. Still gets me out of work for 20 minutes isnt it
I remember meeting George Michael in our price which was a record store in Gatwick Airport he was the nicest and kindest guy I have ever met will never forget him r i p George
@Oliver's mummy it is a memory you will never forget wished i would have met him take care
That's awesome so nice
Mariah: "[Carpool] If it's good enough for George, it's good enough for me" 😭😭😭😭😭 RIP George
I've never seen this before, but I'm a lamb and I had a feeling she had said something along those lines before I actually watched this.
She has mad respect for George Michael, and many other artists that came before her.
Я тоже плачу , постоянно , что его больше нет
Can't imagine one more xmas 🎄 again without him.
He was the beginning of Carpool. You are amazing James. I love your heart.
What about the rest of him? You are quite selective, aren't you?
this made me lol
I so loved George Michael! My favourite musical artists are British and James is quite right when he says that you felt as if George was reaching out to you as you listened to his songs. May he rest in peace.
This video genuinely made me happy while watching!
Its sad that you have to die to have everybody come out and tell you how special and loved you were.
Kris Hammer So fucking true. Humans are fucking aweful!
I wrote on his facebook page that I think he's wonderful and I worry about him. Not sure if he even read it though.
As is your level of expression and spelling!
AnaisEngland Dafuq?
AnaisEngland there is literally nothing wrong with the comment. so if you could say what you see wrong that would be great.
I miss George. I know I did not know him but I loved his music which sent powerful messages out there
ok
If you loved his music...then you knew him....because his music was George and George was indeed ..his music.
Everyone’s favorite vocal coach!
I know exactly what you mean. He had such an amazing energy.
His solo albums are worth’s. Listen from “ pride without prejudice “ to “older”
George was never a joke to anyone who loved him. Whether you loved him for his music, and never met him, you knew he wasn't some egotistical pop star.
George felt deeply and cared about people. All the generous giving he did to strangers was done on the down low. He gave his time and wealth to people he wanted to help and thank.
I love George for his gentle soul. You can tell when he was hurt, and it was so sad to see him so hurt.
It feels like it's been so much more than 4 years since he's past.
I wish there had been a tribute in his honor, by artists. It's wrong that there wasn't a tribute by musicians around the world to celebrate his life. I hope one day there will be.
i grew up listening to 80s music ( best ) and Wham was part of it , then George went solo in his career and made some fantastic songs that he wrote himself , his songs and other 80s music takes me back to a time when life was better and im sure other people feel that way too
It's a sad irony they never had George Micheal on the show to actually do Carpool Karaoke.
He wasn't promoting anything so he had no need to be on there. The clip in this video was for charity and not self gain.
Jamie Caslin How about he was just a great fucking artist, is that reason enough? What exactly were Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart and Mariah Carey promoting when they did carpool karaoke?
theylied1776 They were promoting themselves to stay famous.
Jamie Caslin They were promoting themselves to stay famous??
There has to be one of the dumbest comment I've ever seen.
They were the first ones to do carpool karaoke, and James Corden didn't have the ratings that he does today. So doing The Late, Late Show when James Corden took over was not a boost to anyone's career.
George Michael was such an amazing artist who left us too soon. George will be missed but forever live in our hearts.😞
I hope he knows how much he was loved. His music will live on forever. Kudos to James Corden for showing the respect he deserves.
James is talking about exactly what I feel about George
Thank you James, for treating his passing with respect.
Yelle Hughes Me too. Thank you!
R.I.P. our dear George 🙏❤🌟
I had the privilege to see George in concert TWICE, he was AMAZING, I was right at the front of the stage, worth every penny. Not to mention too the amazing work he did for different charities. Bless you George. Still listen to your beautiful music and I miss that incredible voice.
R I P George, miss you always xxx
That’s so awesome. I wish I had seen him in concert.
Great tribute. George was not only a genius at music but more importantly a really sound man. He had a spirituality about him that cam through in all his songs.
Oh George... what a sweet and kind soul he was, he never deserved that media hate, and the fact that he died alone on Christmas day and was only found in the afternoon, while the most of us were having fun, hurts so much...
And he gave us a lot of joy with his incredible music, he kept so positive when many were against him, and he helped so many who were in need... What a man.
sarahsmith182 💔💔💔
sarahsmith182 MrRamziaB And now you can watch my extremely in depth review on rogue one in my amazing robot voice... if you choose not to... YOU SHALL PAY THE ULTIMATE PRICE
sarahsmith182 sub 4 sub
people outcasted him, made fun of him and cursed him out during the last several years of his life. it is a shame and very two-faced for them now to say ''he was great''. Who gives a shit about what people say after they pass away !!! We should respect, embrace, love and realize their talents when they are alive...
It breaks my heart too, I'm angry about close so called friends he was there for, let him down. Xxx love you always George
God bless you always xx
George Michael played a HUGE role in molding the 1980's into the legacy that it is today for so many of us Generation X kids. It would not have been the same without his music and talent.
He molded us wrong
You cut the "you are such a closet bummer" line! That was the best bit!
This couldn't have resonated more with me. I feel exactly what Corden felt, listening to George's songs. Songs like One More Try, Where Did Your Heart Go, etc. - you just feel a connection with George himself that makes you feel like you weren't alone anymore and knew what to say to get you believing again. Being gay myself, An Easier Affair struck an even deeper chord. He's the reason why I sing the way that I do - I use his breathing patterns and in public karaoke I even do his accent when I sing his songs lol. I still miss him today. Here I am, it's nearly midnight, searching for RUclips videos about him and watching this. Thanks for saying what you said, James. Sharing this George Michael connection with you is ever lasting. Love your show! And a special thank you to George Michael for sharing his passion with all of us.
RIP G.M.. You'll never be forgotten , I grew up listening to your music. What a wonderful spirit you had.
Well done James, George Michael is definitely a music icon.
George is not dead. His voice never disappears as he’s eternal.
So very true. He is one of the few male singers that can give me goosebumps.
Sept 2020 and it still breaks my heart that he's gone.
First time hearing Fastlove after his death I broke down, in floods of tears knowing I'd never see, hear George again.
Such a beautiful soul taken too soon. You're sorely missed, George. Sleep well, lovely man.
His death still hurts and it will hurt me forever, everytime that I think of him, of his music and of the person that he was, such a beautiful soul.
@@cristianabanchetti8652 , miss him also. His music is so uplifting during the holidays. Truly takes back to good times.
@DaveraveAndMadonna81, absolutely great song....Different Corner, Where did your heart go, and George's version of Long & Winding Road can take me down in a few notes....
without George, there would be no Carpool Karaoke. RIP ♥
AMEN!!!!🙌
Yes, what would the world be without carpool karaoke ... FFS.
Are you sure about that, fool❓🌈
Mariah: "[Carpool] If it's good enough for George, it's good enough for me" 😭😭😭😭😭 RIP George
Oh my God so happy that you had a chance you do this with him! As long as Carpool Karaoke continues it will always remind me of George.
So so true
To me George Michael will always be perfection. His music is part of my soul and I am better for it.
Nobody is perfect, fool🌈❓🎶✔💲✝❗♏
@@Jackgritty28 No.... he was PERFECT!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@RB-uh1ss Please viewers read that foolish comment and make a comment about it💥🎶
@@Jackgritty28 so........
@@RB-uh1ss a gay couldn't be perfect🏳️🌈
George is the love of my life. He was there for me through everything. My father’s death hit me hard and Jesus To A Child was like therapy for me in those dark days. When I was a teenager Wham! songs were my energy release. And when I loved someone he expressed my feelings in his songs. I grew up with him and his art. That’s what he means to many of my generation. His voice was sublime live or in a studio. Song writing and production talents were one of the best ever. His honesty and open heart made us get everything he did and feel it. RIP GM.
Finally someone who had happy memories with him and talking about them
Bless you James, this was a lovely to tribute to George x
Gary C amen 🙏
The best one ever !! Plus the car 🚗 is rubbish x
I luv George!...I can only hope to leave a mark behind like he did.
It sure was.
I miss him every day. I can't believe it's been 5 years. Miss you so much George
You can see in the clip that George has considerable acting and comic talent as well, what a gifted and lovely man he was!
Oh, what a great story. I had read that Mariah was the first to agree to do CK, but I had no idea that this is really where it all started. RIP George, we love you.
An amazing person taken too soon from all of us! R.I.P
Authentic Mental Health I
Crack cocaine for you
I will NEVER EVER get tired of seeing this. Every time I watch Carpool Karaoke I always think of this one,brief though it may be. Sadly missed but forever remembered,thank you George for all your music and for being such a part of my teenage years in the ‘80s 🙏🏼🕯
2019 and my heart is still broke, Truly one of a kind, My favourite artist, R.I.P george.
Do any British people here remember that comic relief special, I remember watching it when it came out. It had a load of celebrities sat around a table later, that's all I can remember.
Rudran Ratnanandan yeah, I member! Paul McCartney and Ringo was there. I can't believe it was 6 years ago though.
Rudran Ratnanandan
Yeah, I remember, was goddamn hilarious.
Rudran: Why don't you go do them Englishmen a favor and go do in a Muslim.
Robert Cornelius ..i would love to have a muslim if he felt the same for me..i have muslim friends and i have all culture friends that i like very much..stay out of my right to free speech and if u cant read my writing..boo whoo whoo..gd for me..ole chap
Robert Cornelius
What?
What do you mean "do in a Muslim"?
I'm an atheist btw.
I know that everyone here in the UK and who's a fan of this show knew there was a connection with George Michael and the creation and comeuppance of Carpool Karaoke, I don't know how well that was known in the states but now you all know! I remember when that sketch aired back in 2011 I was pissing myself laughing :D
UK doesn't count in the world of information. Go back to all those car bombings you people once did.
Robert Cornelius babe I think you're talking about the terrorist group IRA, they're not from the UK
Robert Cornelius how dim are you?
Robert Cornelius The "world of information"
2 questions:
1)What the fuck is the "world of information"?
2)What the fuck does James Corden being in a British sitcom and Red Nose Day show have to do with this information?
I'm assuming from your ignorance you a yank, so go back to your Police force to use some of your brutalness up
Liam: Is it not your commerce that is promoting pro-Muslim?
Such a beautiful tribute to a wonderful man. He discreetly helped so many people without drawing attention to himself, was such a kind, loving and generous soul xx
James I can't begin to explain just how much I loved receiving this message. You spoke from the heart those word's will always remain embedded in my soul. 💚
What I find even more wonderful about George Michael, was how charitable he was! He would give $1000s to people he didn't even know, out of the blue, just because he saw them on tv or heard about them somehow, needing money for something important, like surgery or some treatment! And he did most of it without anyone knowing about it! Like working at a soup kitchen, and telling those who ran it, not to tell anyone! So you know he did this stuff out of the kindness of his heart, not for attention, like many famous people do!
It's only coming out now that he's no longer around to stop them telling everyone how generous he was. They reckon he gave a sizeable chunk of his fortune away to needy causes masquerading as 'an anonymous businessman'.
Clara Johnson He was just a natural talent and he new if he gave to people and charities knowingly some shallow and jealous people would just think it was for some other reason other than the fact he really had a heart of gold and actually cared which nowadays is very rare .Lets hope some of those multi milionaire footballers are doing the same R.I.P GEORGE YOUR A LEGEND PAL
+Carla Johnson+
If it was like this, my deeply respect!
George didn't want the credit but i am glad its coming out I wish he were still alive though I'd rather have him here
George did it because he saw a need he didn't care who knew but he was modest
I hope he's resting in peace. His music will stay forever.
I work opposite where George Micheal lives in Goring where he passed away and there are still people coming down to lay flowers was talking to some people who came all the way down from Ireland, America, Scotland and loads of other countries just to pay their respects to George it's so lovely to see there are thousands of flowers still there and that's after the rotten ones have been taken away they're still being replaced with new ones from people who loved him! RIP George you were loved! ❤️
I’m guessing you worked in the coffee shop?
Tony Smith no I work at the dental practice 3 doors down from the coffee shop, but it is an amazing coffee shop, they sell the best homemade cakes! 😍
just would like to say to all you in goring thanks for keeping his memory alive thanks again and take care
What a man he was!,I live in the billings where George died and even now nearly a year on there are fresh flowers placed outside the house every morning when I leave for work,sadly missed rip George x
I saw this years ago and fell in love with it. The fact they're wearing the same outfit is brilliant. "Don't put your sad face on!" lol I can honestly say I cried when I heard of his passing. I've always felt that George has a song for every emotion or situation in life, and his music certainly helped me countless times. RIP, superstar and thank you, James for honoring him.
:)
well put mate
Cordan has said that the track suits were GMs idea. Brilliant and funny, you are missed GM.
The matching track suits were George Michael’s idea. #faith #freedom #brits
I was devastated when George died. I remember watching this carpool with Smithy and George years ago, it was brilliant. George I will miss you, RIP
watched it a number of times back then, think i may have been late back to class on one occasion because me and my mates were sitting there watching haha.
I won't miss George Michael 🎶✔❗💲♏
" BABY I'M YOUR MAN "
George will always be my man.. RIP GEORGE.. 🌅 💋🎶🎷 💋🎤
I was vacationing with my children in Washington DC. The children were in the indoor swimming pool and I was enjoying a glass of wine, watching the news on my phone. It was breaking news. George Michael Dead. I started crying. I will never forget how sad I was. Not just for myself, but for the entire world. I knew that he was a shooting star and way ahead of his time. He was a beautiful, talented and gifted human being. There will never be another like him. Ever. The world lost a legend. All these years later, it still breaks my heart. Rest in peace Yiorgos. Your memory will be eternal 🙏✝️🕯️
My heart is still broken.
Mine too.
Still broken? mine is.
2018 and 💔

2018...Almost Christmas.
Was that how Carpool karaoke started? Was my baby one of the first one???
Yes, that was the first Carpool Karaoke. He just took the idea and used it for his new show in America.
***** oh, that is poetic justice!!! George Michael was the first carpool karaoke! :-) It became so popular that James was able to invite Adele and Elton John.
EmmaLlanos Uhuh. You will find a lot of Jame's ideas for the Late Late Show originate from other UK shows and ideas etc.
***** I believe that. A lot of American shows originated from England. Like Shameless.
EmmaLlanos yes, he said that in the video
George Michael is one of a kind! Amazing artist incredible talent! R.I.P. George Michael
George Michael is such a legend man, it’s a shame that they cut out the bit from the sketch where he calls smithy and ‘gav-lar’ closet bummers 😂 not just a music legend but a comedy legend
Thank you James Cordan for this great tribute to an great artist. RIP. Always loved that sketch.
This was probably the most beautiful tribute which I have ever heard. So real and unprepared. It just came from James' heart. I saw this years ago. They've always had great ideas and George was and still is a legend. RIP x
I completely agree with James regarding the "healing power" of George Michaels music. It has comforted me so often in my life and let me came back stronger than before. Thank you so much for this post, James! To George: You and your music were forged for eternity...
That clip made me smile and enjoy the memory of George Michael. May he rest in peace, and the legacy of his music continue to inspire and move us.
Really touching and heartfelt words from James about George's passing. One of our finest singer songwriters and a beautiful human being too. RIP George.
Bowie & Michael were both enormous talents & will be missed dearly.
pete burns too
Speed Flexie 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I completely I agree.
MildManNerd
Bowie George and prince
RIP 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
MildManNerd
Prince too. He was no amateur.
When James comes out and speaks his heart, leaving the humor aside... He has the biggest heart. We love you James ❤️😘
It feels like a small part of my life went away with his passing. His songs will have an even deeper meaning when I hear them next. Thank you George.
Lovely tribute James, genuine & heartfelt. Poor George, so loved.
Such a great man, did so much for charity and was always so humble. He will be deeply missed R.I.P
Well said James .. 👏🏽👏🏽 George was one of a kind no one writes songs or sings songs like he did.. always ahead of his time .. devastated he's gone 😔
What a lovely heartfelt tribute. I didn't realise their great Red Nose sketch was the origin of carpool karaoke. As James said, George was the soundtrack to my youth. Such a nice man. RIP George.
so honest and genuine James Corden .....don't let Hollywood kill that mate
You can't be fucking serious
G_Morto
Exactly, this couldn't be anymore false and rehearsed... but then that's what America does to people!!!
Cantante Brovo , absolute fools you don't have a clue I probably guess u third world citizens lol
You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Naivety personified!!!!!!!!
THE SODIUM SITRATE THAT HE EATS EVERYDAY ,,,THE MAN EATS TONS OF BACON AND HOTDOGS,,,
When george michael died i was actually heartbroken 💔💔
Jodie Kershaw I felt physical Pain still do over it
weird
My heart is still broken💔
In tears. Such a great tribute to George Michael. Loved him since before I was a teenager. So sad that he's gone. Gone too, too soon... ❤
George Michael solo albums are so amazing .. he wrote many meaningful songs from “ you have been loved “ and “ Jesus to a child “
This is such a nice tribute James! Watch the whole sketch if you haven't already, it's hilarious! RIP George
I watched this sketch at the time, and it was the first thing I thought of when I heard the sad news...r.i.p george
I grew up listening to George he was part of my daily life and as a man I'm proud to say that while my other mates were listening to heavy metal in the 80 s i was listening to careles whisper instead. Georges music will be frozen in time forever for millions of us and allways in our hearts. Rest peacefully now my friend your time here with us will never be forgotten
I feel like George Michael & I kind of grew up together despite never meeting. His music was the soundtrack of my young adulthood & my love for him never waned as the decades passed. I felt his death almost as keenly as if he were a family member. I miss him still.
it's so sad if makes you want to cry, but when you listen to them singing it make you smile and inside your heart is broken because you feel the sadness of losing the person you've listened to for you hole life. I think you can't help smiling and singing along when you hear a George Michael song because you know he enjoyed making his music for everyone to listen too. R.I.P George
The Soundtrack to my life. George's music spoke to me at so many different periods of my life. Loved Wham and The Dance/Pop of Faith. But, Listening Without Prejudice, Older, and Patience just crushed me. Incredible songwriting and emotion. Always loved this man, despite all the demons he was facing through the years. I thought, eventually he would be happy and start making music again. A week before his death, I was actually talking to my wife about him. How I was excited to know he would be making a comeback in 2017 and hopefully touring in support. When I heard the news on Christmas, I was not shocked, but I was feeling deep sadness. George Michael's talent was rare. The voice of an angel, words that affect your mind and heart, and from what I've heard a humble, giving soul. He will be truly missed.
When I found out he passed, I had a breakdown I went into the living room put on all his songs my three kids endured my sadness but they were well aware how much I loved him and they understood it. We basically spent hours listening to his music and I cried the whole time. He is still my favorite. When I was a little girl 11 yrs old in Portugal I fell in love with Wham! George has the voice of an angel... that love remains...
Happy Birthday George , your music has changed so many people’s lives and especially mine and my mom’s. I just can’t thank him enough and I just wanted to wish him a happy birthday and I hope he smiles back on us who listen to his music. So happy birthday George we miss you dearly
This was so natural and real. Love you James. 👏👏rip George
George Michael was a part of our growing up. I will miss him, thankfully we have his music.
James, thank you for letting the world know how much he will be missed.
Thank you, James, for giving George the proper tribute and send-off that he so deserved.
Almost 3 years later and I still feel his death like a hole in the head.
People come out about how lovely people were in times of tragedy, but for a true fan like myself, he was lovely and special from the beginning of time.
I’ve listened to him from being a newborn. I’m now almost 26 and still singing my heart out to his songs. My eyes sting still when I think that he’s gone.
I love you George
I always watch that clip whenever I feel upset.
George Michael was a gift to music, and a gift to the world. I wish he knew it, really knew how much he was loved and how many lives he touched. I can only hope that he now has the peace he never was able to find in life. ❤❤
He has no peace. He has no suffering.Death is the ultimate END. I know people mean well when they say:'I hope he/she has found the happiness they couldn't find in life '. I call bullshit on that. In death, you experience nothing: you don't exist. Peace is something to be attained and experienced in life. So instead of praying for the salvation of those who already have fallen by the wayside and have died; focus on those who are living and headed in the same direction and struggling. George's final days were in isolation, struggling. And then he gave up. Nobody checked on him. People should have been praying for his inner peace in life rather than praying for his peace in death. There is none to be had; Death is just death.
I remember the first time I ever heard Careless Whisper - I walked around the whole School telling everyone that George Michael's new Song would become an absolute Hit. Most of the Kids just nodded as none of them had heard the Song yet - but how right I was about that song. I remember those Years with fond Memories.
Incredible song. He hated himself so much for something that he couldn't help. That's so sad. He was gorgeous and amazingly talented. R. I. P. George Michael may you get the peace that you never never knew in life!
I still cry when I think of his passing. He was so passionate about life and his music. At least now his spirit is free and he no longer has to deal with the evil and hate that tormented him while on earth.
Such a kind hearted down to earth and funny man, as well as a immense performer, we all miss you George, Thankyou For everything. We miss you forever. Rest in peace Legend xxx

Who misses this absolute legend
I have not laughed like this in awhile! What a skit! I never saw it before. Now I find out George Michael was the first performer to do Carpool Karaoke! How awesome of him to share himself like that! What a great guy! I absolutely loved him! Now my heart aches knowing he is gone forever. I had a secret crush on him when I first saw his Careless Whisper video. I knew then he was gay. I just knew it in my gut. When he confirmed it years later, I was not surprised or upset at all. He was a gorgeous man who I always wanted to know what cologne he wore, so I could buy it for my boyfriend to wear. He was a terrific performer with an incredible voice that gave of himself and filled my life with memories listening to his songs! I now can add laughing to my memories!
George Michael was an icon. The man had that great voice. Thanks for the remembrance.
What an utter legend. George, the soundtrack to so many lives. I hope he is in a better place now. RIP fella.
words !! :)) "Soundtrack to so many lives" :D
George Michael a well loved man still miss him today and forever
This was so heartfelt by James it brought tears to my eyes, his pain was real. This is my all time favourite carpool, the original and the best for me. George was such a beautiful man with a big heart and a smile that lit up the room. Heaven has gained a very special angel 😇 and we have lost a really great man. 🙏🏻
