A door to door salesman, if he came to my door I would have bought whatever he was selling. I know he didn't like interviews but he did it so well. He had such an engaging way that he told his story.
@spartanclams I would have preferred George with a woman, even though he was gay. He did not strike me as a gay man. Gay men usually stand out quite a bit.
borinakoune I think I can agree with your opinion😊Regardless, can u tell me why he doesn’t strike you as a gay man and him being with women? I was just wondering. Thanks xx
@Ana Martins here u go telling us that George wasn't Greek! U may be Portuguese but u have the same bullshit ideology of the British. Like I said before you could not take the fact that George Michael was Greek! I suggest you look up George's quotes on his Greek heritage & watch him live in Athens Greece wearing a Greek flag & then come back to me trying to tell me he wasn't Greek! Even changing his name to Michael George said he still wanted to keep the "Greek element ". CYPRUS IS CULTURALLY GREEK! Only Anglos believe otherwise as they did everything they possibly could to stop Greece & CYPRUS from unifying! Culturally Cyprus is GREEK! Their blood is GREEK, their language is GREEK & so is their national anthem & history of course! Open a history book, get an education on Ancient Greece & then read up on George's quotes on his Greek heritage then come back to me!! By the way he would sign off on his Twitter account as "the singing Greek" this is just one of the many many examples!!
George had the most adorable laugh. He was sexy & gorgeous & a very beautiful man. He could have had any woman who would have adored & worshiped the ground he walked on. He would have had gorgeous children. Who didn’t love him. 😍💕❤️🎄😪
The greatest musican and one of the best human being is awesomely handsome and beautiful and he is every woman's dream husband in spite of knowing the fact that he is gay.
@basboosa I know tha my dear... But original Cypriots are called as ''GreekCypriots''... Their language is Greek, Greece send army in Cyprus. Cyprus send students to study in Greece... We have same habits, same national anthem and more else... That's why i told that Greeks and Cypriots is the same thing! :)
@@angelinasophiakamaratou1205 όχι δεν έχουμε τρίχες. Δεν ξέρω κανέναν Έλληνα στο συγγενικο μου περιβάλλον που να έχει τρίχες 🙄Να λένε τρίχες ξέρω. 😊Τέλος πάντων. Ο Γιώργος ήταν Άγγλος γιαυτό είχε τρίχες. Εμείς δεν έχουμε.
It is never too late to admit what you probably avoided most of your life... being a fan all my life one of the things that made me feel a bit bad is that George never really talked about his Greek-Cyprus origin until he visited Greece in 2007. I spent most of my teen years wondering how come he didn't visit Athens for a concert. I was so frustrated by the fact, he even went to China but it seemed that Athens wasn't an option. So when he came and gave this interview i felt really good!!!!
You can’t really hold it over his head tbh - George toured in places all artists at the time did and he himself probably had no personal connection or willingness to perform in Greece. This is just my opinion. However that doesn’t mean he was detached from his roots or hated his heritage. As the above video shows
I believe George would have made a faithful husband. I believe he would have been very attentive and affectionate. He might have served me breakfast in bed. He would have been a wonderful father. That would have been wonderful. Don't you agree girls?
@Ana Martins his father is Greek Cypriot... Greek Cypriots ARE still Greeks! George himself referred to himself as the "singing Greek"!!! Also in one of his concerts he sent a message to the paparazzi:" kiss my hairy, GREEK ass! If he consisted himself Greek, then you, and everyone like you better shut up!!!
@Ana Martins His father worked long hours & wasn't home to speak Greek to his kids. Most half GREEK kids usually don't learn Greek very easily as English is usually spoken at home & back in the 60s & 70s when George was growing up there wasn't that many Greek teaching schools around as there are now!!! & Cyprus is GREEK its culturally Greek! The only reason its an independent state & island nation is because Bullshit Britain would not allow "Enosis" (unity) for Cyprus & Greece & so it was the only way for Cyprus to gain her independence from being a British colony ! The national anthem in Cyprus is the Greek national anthem!! & sorry there are no such things as Turkish Cypriots! If they well & truly felt like Turkish Cypriots then they shouldn't have invaded the island in 74!!! & no George nor his father were ashamed of their Greek heritage! I've been a fan since 1984 & have many many books on George & he opens up about his Greek heritage very easily & with pride no shame! If he had shame he wouldn't have worn a Greek flag around him in his 2007 Athens tour! By the way in another post you are claiming GMs father isn't Greek ...u re ally have no idea what you are saying!!
I really don't think so. When he was on tour on 2007 and visited Greece, his father had to teach him "good evening" and "thank you" so he would greet the audience.
@DjXaris5 no its not...Cyprus has extensive cultural ties with Greece, but is not under Greek control. It was a British colony from 1925 until 1960. Prior to that, it was under British administrative control from 1878 and under Ottoman Empire control for most of the preceding four hundred years.

The international singer, songwriter, and producer went on to sell over 100 million albums worldwide. George sadly had his "last Christmas" as he passed away peacefully in his bed (due to heart failure) on Christmas day December 25, 2016. When George Michael performed in Athens, Greece and wore the Greek flag. See video: George Michael George was the only son of a hard-working Greek Cypriot immigrant (Kyriacos Panagiotou) who married an English dancer Lesley Angold. His father, Kyriacos, was a very hard working restaurant owner. George was raised in a working-class part of Finchley, North London, and indulged as the only boy in the family. His dad moved to the UK in 1953.
She was doing the interview for Greek TV which is why she is speaking Greek. He understood the Greek language because of his father and his father's family he just could not speak Greek very well so to spare himself embarrassment with bad pronunciation and struggling with words he chose to answer in English.
George Michael's mom and dad were Greek. He doesn't speak or understand Greek language. He knows a little because his mom would on occasion speak to him in Greek.
i found an interview where he always refer to his dad as a greek cypriot and growing up greek and that he said his mom found out later in life that her mom was jewish and married her dad, a gentile....so g.m is half greek cypriot and in jewish culture, your mom makes you jewish, and his grand dad maybe was english? george's real name is greek.
Sophiah Koikas George, father is greek, his mother was english, his maternal grandmother was jewish his father is greek and so was he no matter what was his cultural background he was loved.
Does George Michael appear pissed off for the interviewer is asking questions in Greek?? & Greek is spelled with a capital G english should be spelled with a lower case e since its bastardised & has over 6000 Greek words stolen plus our ancient marbles!! List goes on...
