@charlesbjtown, thank you for pointing that out. I saw @margie beard comment that same goes for Linda Ronstadt but it is amazing how consistently excellent George Michael’s voice is, live vs studio no difference at all!
Great point! Probably why I rarely enjoy live shows. We're so used to studio production sounds that the live version sounds like bad karaoke. I actually prefer them lip synching during live guest appearances as opposed to belting out a different version of the way I preferred. Either that or sing like you do from your albums/records or whatever it's called nowadays.
Other artists try to not strain their voice since thats when most mess up, but mister george Michael made straining the voice work like a charm. It sounds so freaking good bro
Same here. Met him in Ibiza with my mate in a bar in San Antonio. Chatted for about ten mins, great guy, said he was working there. We never let on that we knew who he was. Just a group of lads chatting. A couple of months later Club Tropicana came out. The video was fimed there in ibiza and that was his work. Btw a group of girls gathered in the bar while we chatted, me and my mate were totally aware of them, he didnt blink an eye. Years later it made sense when he came out. Saw him on his '25' tour. Along with Micheal Jackson at Aintree, Rod Stewart who ive seen at few times and Simply Red , they all sounded just has good live.
YES MICHAEL JACKSON COULD SING HIS BUT OFF BUT I STILL LOVE THE WAY MY GEORGE MICHAEL SANG I LISTEN TO HIM WAY BACK WHEN HE WAS WITH WHAM HE HAD THE BEST VOICE IN THE GROUP.
+Donna Young check on RUclips when when was in concert in China the video I want you to watch where George Michael singing soul ballad called blue I've never heard that Song Before only last week check it out and let me know what you think

George Michael gained respect from the soul community. This is not easy to do. He did a duet with Whitney, Aretha and now performed with Smokey. Legendary. Iconic ...George Michael, I love you!
In real life George was said to be quite shy, but you would never know that watching him here. To go toe to toe with a legend like Smokey and just absolutely slay it like that shows just how amazing George was. He will be forever missed.
Rod Bender Andrew said George almost wanted to leave when he heard Patti Labelle practicing for this its in Andy's book LOL George said he was so nervous it made him sing the best he had probably ever done at that point
@@lavetahobby3711 Nah I joke that it sounded like a sick cat but as you said this is George's song and its not meant to be a duet he didn't ruin it I have heard worse covers LImp Biskit and a personal gripe for me Tori Amos did Father Figure now I ask why a woman would even attempt to cover that song
Rod Bender he was shy in some situations yes and small crowds made him nervous for instance Prince Wiliam asked him to sing at a Luncheon or some small gathering for a few hundred I am not sure and he said he had to say no because he can sing for millions especially his audience but a small crowd kinda made him nervous I am the same speaking in class freaked me the hell out so bad that in high school the last couple years I almost failed English because of when he had to do spoken Oral book reports in front of the class he also had a DJ Job at a country club as a teenager and even though he was behind a screen he still broke out in sweats his hands were all sweaty and he was just nervous I think he kinda got used to it I mean till they fired him for the music he tried to play and also I think because he did not wear a tie like it matters when nobody sees him behind a thing
*_He was never in life underrated._* He performed duets with the likes of Smokey, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mary J Blige, Elton John, Garth Brooks, and many other Big Artists. That man received so many Accolades and Recognition here in the U.S. and the U.K. worldwide recognition. His Voice & Talent was always at the Center of the praise & awards he received.
I totally agree 💯 No offense to the legend Smokey...but George Michael really kicked it in at the end of the song and blew doors... none the less, awesome 👍😎 Except for the pervert that announced it. 😊
03:10 the duet part sounds awesome. Lucky are those who saw and heard that live. Smokey and George singing. One high and strong, the other a smooth whisper. Wonderful.
George is the BOSS, he killed it live. George bro, you’ll always be loved and appreciated. His music had deep meaning and it’s still relevant and will always be relevant as it deals with everyday issues that we all experience and can relate to. Timeless music-thank you George for giving us all your great music.🙏
Oh my heavens! George has a voice as smooth as warm honey! What a terrible loss for all of the music we lost when he passed. He was a superstar who was largely ignored by the industry. People who claimed they knew him apparently didn't know him well enough to step in and just BE WITH him! Just horrible....
That must’ve been a massive thrill for George duetting with a singer like Smokey. To think that the guy was singing and writing songs like that and he was only 21 is just incredible.
He was really a unique artist, performer, songwriter, musician, producer. He wrote so many beautiful songs. Each of them a masterpiece. Careless whisper is the Mona Lisa of love songs.
I totally agree, none could touch his vocal range and talent....so very sad, he was part of my music tapestry......... RIP George, I can't believe I am saying it....... :-(
I don't care how he live his life..... I just love him and his music!!! thanks for sharing your talent to the world. I enjoyed your music. I dance , cry tears of joy and I made love to your music. Thanks GM.R....I...👍
Really liked George Michael great songsaw smokey live did not have the pleasure to see gm live alot of talent I am so glad things are recorded what a smile is on my face now
A pleasure to watch two magnificent voices. A duet with icon Smokey Robinson is like sprinkling gold dust on George Michael's already classic song....RIP George
What an amazing performance! George Michael killed it with his singing while Smokey Robinson joined in. I am quite impressed. It is sad to know that George Michael is no longer here with us. May he Rest In Peace.
GOD , George is so gorgeous , love his beautiful smile , and ooooh what a voice , love when he belts out those ooooh’s , only George , you had it all my sweet angel , love you forever George, RIP ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is 2015 and for some reason i want my hair like george . Edit . IS now September 2020 and I need it more do to the pandemic . Update: happy new year 2022 Hey everyone 12/28/2022 just hope evenryone is fine and save happy new year 2023 3/11/2024!!!!! ❤❤❤❤ love and peace
@Gorgeous George lm not disagreeing with you , I did a lot of reading on it because I couldn’t understand that George wasn’t gay when he started his career, I read he dated lots of woman , I think he was very confused ,everything I read said they didn’t have any answers to why people are gay , so we never know why , don’t think it really matters , he was born with greatness !!!!
I could not agree with you more, Phil. Both of them are outstanding artists. But Smokey had no business singing this song. Trying to think of what artist at the time would have been a better fit.
Amanda..I agree completely. I took his death so hard, it took me 3 years to listen to his music after he died, and play it every day now. I absolutely adored him!
@@chevetteblackwell5083 There’s a reason why no one really covers GM songs...too hard to compete. Same goes for singers like Karen Carpenter. Their voices were just so sublime and distinct that their songs were too associated with their phenomenal voice.
Wow what a performance👏🏽 both artists were so professional, their vocal control, tone and pace and delivery was brilliant! They just walked you through the beautiful story in the lyrics 🎉wow, wow wow, 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
at 2:41 minutes when george takes back with a convincing tone the song it gives me chills , such an incredible and persuasive tone of voice !! a real *STAR * was SHINNING oh so brightly ! *************** 10\10.......
You can’t compare these two greats. Smokey was already a legend and had his own distinctive style. George Michael was on his way to greatness. He was truly a genius writing amazing songs at such a young age. He was brilliant and I dearly wish he was still with us. I love both of these great singers. At least Smokey is still here. George Michael left us far too soon, but what a gift he gave us of incredible vocals and beautiful lyrics.
Yes you can and should compare them. Robinson’s voice was decent in the past (but never anywhere close to Michael’s), but was basically gone here. He sounded terrible.
@@theophilusconnor oh please! These are two great singers, each with their own unique style. Smokey’s voice was not gone here. He has his own voice and style of singing, as does George Michael. I celebrate both of them. I grew up listening to Smokey Robinson and I will always adore and respect him.
To be fair they didn't bend well, Smokey didn't have the range or power in his voice as George did. First time hearing this duet and personally, I didn't like it.
@@timeaftertime8005 I love both of these guys but their singing style is just too different. I think think this duet didn't work well because it was a clash of styles. Each guy is magnificent at what they do individually... but this duet just didn't work. Smokey is so soft spoken and George is a total powerhouse.
He was the most handsome man in the world still now as his time. Also, He is far better than Zyan Malik, he is fresh handsome with a normal life men style
How could any human bring have such a beautiful voice as George Michael. Never in my life have I ever heard such a beautiful voice. He also has such a beautiful face and his body movements are so sexy
Beautiful Beautiful!!! I heard Careless Whispers many years ago and I didn't know the name of the song until one day just about two years ago. I asked the person what's the name of that song, the tune is Beautiful. I was on the train headed uptown to 125th Street. I put it on my phone and was able to keep track of it. George Michael did a great job with his song " Careless Whispers" . I really love that song. Now a day or so ago Smokey Robinson spoke about how he loved the song and I listened to it and then I couldn't stop listening to it. That just put the icing on the cake for me. We love George Michael. He's always been a good person and wonderful talent. I also heard George Michael sing one of The Temptations songs at a Concert on line singing "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" and I really like what he did with that song. Very nice.
Wow, I always regarded Smokey as a great singer but George just blew him away when he came back in, so much power in a velvet smooth tone, very unique male vocalist
Meus Deus como esse George Michael canta maravilhosamente bem ao vivo! quanta força e paixão em sua voz e interpretação!é arrepiante !!!não se vê mais cantores dessa categoria hoje em dia...!nao passam nem perto! o.O
George Michaels voice is always studio album quality when he's singing live....... very rare for a performer to be that good.
Linda Ronstadt was as good live as she was on recordings ❤

RIP George Michael. There will never be another voice like yours.
Thatt voice was unice

Amen to that!❤
Can,t believe only 2.3 million people have watched this,should be 2.3 billion,class.
true!
Yes but only one man can sing The other should not be there
George Michael is timeless..I still listen to him at least weekly. I miss him 😢
How are you doing today my name is Eric moore
Daily for me!
I am in Brasil used to live in London. But since I was a child I use to listen to him.
Miss him horribly

George Michaels is one of my favorite singers of all time, no lip syncing no Auto-Tune real talent
George Michael gained respect from the soul community. This is not easy to do. He did a duet with Whitney, Aretha and now performed with Smokey. Legendary. Iconic ...George Michael, I love you!
Mary J Blige as well, I believe

No he did NOT LOL he gained respect from YOU

I love Smokey however I feel he screwed this song up. I used George singing it for my ringtone for many yrs.

U CAN tell that he's still a lil nervous and shy... He just fuels his energy into his dance moves....😎❤👍👍
Notice how he keeps his hand movement in sync while singing. He truly was amazing
George had great rhythm and was beautiful and a voice out of this world!
He had soul and a good ear for rythm
It didn’t suit Smokey! No oomph!
Your hand movement, remember Wake Me Up Before I Go-Go?, the video?
Never heard Smokey sing this song. As a George Michael fan, I always loved this song. But now...even more!
El DeBarge Did a Tribute to GM with this song so good the only singer that could pull it off ...
@@hushmoney2058 thanks mate!
Smokey R has nothing on George x
🤯
Come on man, Smokey shouldn't have been on stage.
I HAVEN'T HEARD MANY ARTISTS WHOSE VOICE SOUNDS EXACTLYTHE SAME IN LIVE CONCERTS AS IT DOES IN THEIR CD.George's voice is unbelievable.
Phil Collins as well.
+Rose Fox he is good live I agree
Dora Jackson best comment here
Dora Jackson
Only others are Elvis and michael McDonald
Abraham thank you!
Nobody can be as good as George Michael in any respect.
One day it was an honor for George to sing with Smokey,and today it's an honor for Smoke to have sung with George...R.I.P George.
He was a Soul Singer! He loved American Black music!;
+Rahloh McDonogh yeah he did. I wish he American he would have been today
Rahloh McDonogh yes he was a black man with white skin. Extremely Soulful
+April Beasley Yes he was April.And he didn't deny it!
George loved music. Period. If you think about it, music doesn't really have a color.
George in his Prime! Never lost that voice.... He is underrated because his voice was 1 in a few... Excellent

Even next to a legend like Smokey George shines so bright! Amazing voice and God given live singing talent!
I only saw one legend on that stage and it wasn't smokey.
He dueted with Aretha Franklin. Can't be more confident than that.
I totally agree 💯 No offense to the legend Smokey...but George Michael really kicked it in at the end of the song and blew doors... none the less, awesome 👍😎 Except for the pervert that announced it. 😊
George Michael died too young.
We will never forget you.
RIP George ♥️
He and Freddie are singing with the Angels!!?
OMG! His voice is so pure gold. He sang top notch. The live version sounded so much like the main studio quality without any playback.
03:10 the duet part sounds awesome. Lucky are those who saw and heard that live. Smokey and George singing. One high and strong, the other a smooth whisper. Wonderful.
Rest in peace Mr. Michael, you and you're music are unforgettable

He did
smokey was out of tune af, even i could sing that better

Much respect to Smokey. He whispered carelessly in his own soul style. He is really a soul legend.
That duet was classic🤗😀

That was grim
"Careless Whisper" ---- no one can sing it best than the one & only, the great George Michael !!
He was really a unique artist, performer, songwriter, musician, producer.
He wrote so many beautiful songs. Each of them a masterpiece.
Careless whisper is the Mona Lisa of love songs.
What a beautiful man George Michael was. His voice is incredible. Miss him so much. Just glad we have You Tube to keep him alive.
It's crazy to think he was in his teens when he wrote the song and only 21 when it was released!
Eccentricka1 and so fine !
I think he was 17 when he wrote this. Man was a genius. It's a tragic loss for music. Thank God we have all his great songs. RIP GM!
I totally agree, none could touch his vocal range and talent....so very sad, he was part of my music tapestry......... RIP George, I can't believe I am saying it....... :-(
Cary Barnes His talent was more like that of an older, seasoned musician than a young guy barely out of his teens. Some people just have "IT".
From what I read, George wrote most of his songs as a teenager, while working at a movie theater.
don't think many people realize how Powerful Michael's voice was. this right here is a perfect comparison.
And his song writing! Truly masterful
George Michael was such a beautiful man...lordy.
he really was
Yup😍😍😍
A great man.
Best looking celebrity of all time for at least a few years

I asked the person what's the name of that song, the tune is Beautiful. I was on the train headed uptown to 125th Street. I put it on my phone and was able to keep track of it. George Michael did a great job with his song " Careless Whispers" . I really love that song. Now a day or so ago Smokey Robinson spoke about how he loved the song and I listened to it and then I couldn't stop listening to it. That just put the icing on the cake for me. We love George Michael. He's always been a good person and wonderful talent. I also heard George Michael sing one of The Temptations songs at a Concert on line singing "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" and I really like what he did with that song. Very nice.
Two musical Gods. Loved it and I love Smokey’s take on the song. Pure class and talent.
Smokey didn’t suck at singing,he just sang it differently
Wow, I always regarded Smokey as a great singer but George just blew him away when he came back in, so much power in a velvet smooth tone, very unique male vocalist
I love smoky but he should of stayed off this man song im not feeling it he is just messing his song up george dont need no damn help
Wow two different generations you can't put greatness again greatness poor Smoky he disappeared.....
George Michael’s MC Lyte had the same hairstyle back then.😊
George’s voice was so unique. Although I love Smokey too, the style and comparison was not matched.
Totally 💯
