Might be the perfect music video. Perfect direction from David Fincher, perfect models, perfect George Michael, perfect lip syncing. And now remastered in 4K. Thanks for originally shooting it in film so it could be scanned again.
It's really hard to pin that down, but it would be top 5 for me, and I'm not even that big a GM fan. I wouldn't have known who he was if it weren't for this video.
AMAZING talent............the kind of voice that is so PERFECT without tricks or oversinging.........listen to him sing "The Long And Winding Road"...................whoa.
This song helped me to connect with my Autistic son...I couldnt connect with him on any conversation and then suddenly he heard this song on the radio and wanted to know how to sing it...from then on we talked to each other and I would sing songs to him in my van and he would sing with me...Thank you George Micheal for helping me meet my son for the first time
This song reaches that primal part in us which causes us to respond with movement. A great song for a great story. Thank you for sharing such an amazing moment. My respect for George Michael's music grew even more.
Ironically this video was made like this because George Michael was not talking with Sony, his record company, so actually he had nothing to do with it or how it looked.
Well said. He was one hell of a cat. He even made a private free concert for the nurses of the hospital where his mom was having treatment. I love this video very much. The words, the girls, the guys, closeups, long shots, at last but not the least, the message of this great song. We should care for people around us and we need to nourish our inner freedom, as well. Live it, dont fake it. This is what this all about.
divnaindija24 - he really was a fantastic man, wasn’t he? I particularly admire his involvement with HIV/AIDS activism (and fundraising,) at a time before it was “trendy” and “fashionable” to do so. He was the real deal, and I miss him 😔💛🌈
@@chaqillenikita748 He was aware of other people, first of all. He knew where are the danger zones of that time, before others. You are so right, and, If I may add, not to offend you in any way, there is nothing "trendy" and "fashionable" in being noble. Its a timeless virtue. That made him a good human being and a true gentleman. Witch is what he was, a gentle man, first of all. I miss him too. Nothing was the same after him im modern music. He was a good example how people should act on the stage, as well as off it. Thank you for posting and time for chat, Chaq. God bless you!
Knowing the history of George and all he went through before this song was released is key to understanding it. It spells out everything he went through and how he plans to rise above it. It's truly an autobiographical masterpiece.
@@joesmith4388he released the album faith which was a huge success. In the midst of his popularity he was caught in a police sting operation. His record company wondered what his next step was going to be because it was a public relations nightmare. Thus came “Freedom”. Read up on it.
Freedom-from synthetic, auto-tuned voices. Freedom-from agency induced concepts of chart-toppers. Freedom-of all artists from political and corporate bondage. Thank you,George.You are and always will, remain in our hearts.
Whaaaat? I had to check it, God, that's why Naomi looks so young, cause since I have memory she looks the same way as now. Most of these models still look amazing!
@@richc848 Actually you are incorrect, on Wikipedia, it did came out in 1990. It was called Freedom! ‘90 because George actually had another song called Freedom while he was still in a group called Wham! with his friend Andrew
George wanted music that was going to stand the test of time. This song is brilliant. I believe this song will still be around 30 years from now along with Last Christmas, Careless Whisper and Faith.
I feel the same everytime I listen to Careless Whisper. You could plant that in today's chart and no one would be any the wiser as to what decade it came from. The mark of a true musical genius.
@@marie-francoiset9402 That's it right there. The record companies wanted a sex symbol for women, but all he wanted was to love who he loved. This song is so inspiring.
I just played this song for my friends in our Recovery Group. This has been my theme song and my wish to be free from mood altering substances. And it's been almost 4 months drug and alcohol free! 1 day at a time, with God's grace, all things are possible!!
I grew up in the 80s/90s. My God, does this stand up and deliver. The song, the phrasing, the imagination how to deliver it on screen, the editing. The models. George Michael was an icon, back then we took it for granted cause it was new/current music. This is timeless. The world lost a really good one way way way to soon.
I'll admit that I didn't pay much attention to this song or video when it was first released. Just not the type of music I listen to. I've watched it about once a week for months now. The song and this video were just so well done.
I’m more of a metalhead but I have to admit George michael was beyond genius and this song and video is just so beautiful and iconic. Long live George, there’s just something so pure, true and honest about him.
Agreed - and given the time it was released, having a video with him basically torching and destroying everything that made him iconic (the 'Faith' jacket, and the jukebox that was in the video) was metal as fuck.
@@vintagemxer1846 there’s literally nothing wrong with likng some genres more than others… besides i appreciate various artists, metal is just my safe haven but absolutely not the only thing I listen to! Anyway cheers.
Since I’ve gotten older I mainly listen to metal especially since I can relate my life to it better. When I was younger it was mainly r&b, rap, and pop but I still listened to some hard rock. I’ve always listened to all kinds of music though. Music is timeless! 🎸🎹🎧🎤🥁
Came back after watching the final episode of Grand Army. It was so beautiful and empowering to see Joey dance again and let go of the walls she build up. To see her feel a piece of happiness again after the pain she went through, brought tears to my eyes.
Stop asking if we're listening to this in 2024; George Michael's music is timeless, forever echoing through our hearts. His voice transcends time, reminding us that some legends never fade...they only grow stronger with every note.
@Juicebox tha Homie Back them We enjoyed the music. George Michael, Freddie Mercury, Elton John. We knew they were gay. We just di d not care. We enjoyed the music for the sound not the sexuality
@@halfvader8015 I dunno, maybe I'm translating it wrongly, but the supermodels worked with the message for me. Most of the people lip syncing to George's very male voice were female, two of which had a scene together with sexual tones. At the least, it has a message of wearing whatever you want, whether people judge you for being skimpy/prudish/unstylish (and in a more specific case, a crossdresser, but that's only implied). If we're bringing body types into the equation, though, the supermodels were a bad idea.
Ушла эпоха. Мне 46, я помню время, когда не было интернета, не было этого искусственного общения, когда не было такого количества искусственных губ, грудей, ягодиц, улыбок, взглядов, желаний, душ... Люди были настоящими.
What a brave step he took with this song and video...would any of today's icons refuse to show themselves and put out a message like this...? I hope so but he was one of a kind. And free now. RIP George. 😥
I'm sure he'd have preferred his 'freedom' to include breathing. I'm too rock 'n' roll to have appreciated his style of music but I recognise his brilliant talent and he seemed like a genuinely good guy. Such a shame.
Walter Houston, yes, we miss the AMAZING George Michael!!!! Always, LOVED his music, ever since his days as lead Singer, of "Wham," during the 1980's!!!😍 WILL, forever, miss George Michael!!!!!!😔
Is it just me or do others agree this video is a masterpiece - a work of pure art and brilliance. The voice, the lyrics, the imagery in the video - the way it was filmed - the beauty of the women and the destruction of the symbols.... it's breathtaking. I'm just in awe of this amazing video and song.
Totally agree...this vid, directed by David Fincher who would later become succesful & respected movie director, is truly a work of art, a masterpiece indeed. Dont forget the masterful editing, sound, lighting, costume and everything that made this vid a masterpiece. A golden benchmark.
until he passed away, I didn't realize how much he was apart of my musical child hood and apart of me. RIP George you have a place in my heart with all the greats.
George Michael you've gone too soon and with you a piece of my heart. I'm 44 and I've loved you since I was about nine. You have a voice that stirs one's soul. I miss you deeply. I will never forget you. Thank you for the gift you've shared. I love you
RIP Mr. George Michael. You have always been an inspiration to me. As a gay man who was bullied, lied to, used and often left in despair,, I have always related to the lyrics of your songs. I believe I am a stronger person for having listened to your amazing music. Much Love to you....
Gilbert... I was a "not" gay teenager stuck in a tiny town in the early 80. It was right when "the gay cancer" became a part of the many reasons people used to discriminate, harass, and vilify homosexuality. I could NOT be gay... I knew I'd get killed if my secret ever became public. So I locked up all my urges, hid from the world emotionally, and spent the next decade fighting myself, because, I couldn't be gay. I so understand what George Michael went through, but turn his anguish up to eleven.
We share the same experience. The pressure on George Michael though, the expectations on him to continue to market himself as the MTV-ified image of the straight man and keep his true feeling hidden from the public was horrific.
@carylanguirand7170 Sorry. I always thought the model in the sheer, long-sleeved top towards the end of the video was Tyra, given that Tyra appears in "Too Funky". You don't really get a good look at her and you couldn't pause a video back in those days.
I feel like this music video upgraded the best models of that decade into art. This song has always given me the extra boost of energy I always needed. It's always on top of my playlist ❤
Every time I left an abusive workplace or got dumped by a partner with narcissistic traits, this iconic song strated playing on my inner sountrack. A timless classic for every occasion! 💖
George Michael saved Radley Lakes in South Oxfordshire, a beautiful place thanks to him. His charity was silent, nobody knew how much good the man did. Every time I walk my dog, I remember him.
This entire album was way ahead of it's time and was a complete departure from what he had been previously. It was his artistic expression and music he wanted to make, not what the record company wanted him to make. Listen Without Prejudice
I'd be honored if some fans of the Listen Without Prejudice album would give a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and MOTHERS PRIDE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of George's greatest compositions. Eventually our man will get his due for all that he gave to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE MISS YOU.
The Brilliance of this album never diminishes. It only becomes more and more evident what a massive massive Untouchable Talent George Michael was. For a man to write compose produce his own music and fight Sony, fight grief, fight the demons around him and still stay humble loving and generous is beyond amazing. What can be said for such a human being. I pray that he is in sweet sweet eternal peace.
Grand Army sent me directly here! Joey's attempt to regain confidence in herself, whilst physically, figuratively, and literally dancing herself into not her old self... but the one she gets to recreate. Regardless of personal viewpoints one may have on the character, this song makes everyone root for her getting there.
This song is incredible when you put it in context. He wanted to free himself from the image he had created for himself and express his true identity, but felt trapped.
my understanding is that this song is an artistic homage to his legal break from his 'wham' counterpart/possible contractual boss(?). apparently, the severance was not pretty, and i'm not sure what predicated it, but words were had and hair was torn. "i don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me" "freedom! freedom! freedom!..." i mean, look at the lyrics: he was an indentured servant of sorts. who knows where he was culled from: poland? lots of musicians hail from poland. call me crazy....
❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you Father God in Heaven for the air I breathe and the Food,,water you provide for each of us ❤Amen Power in the Blood of Christ ❤Unity Love Eachother Peace be
I really can't believe this.... Was just on a GM listening binge earlier this month, His tunes got me through some dark times this year. Rest easy George ✌
Thetasteofhoney1 I hear ya! It's crazy, One minute they're here, next they're gone. I'm still in disbelief. I loved his earlier stuff, before he "came out" so to speak.. This music just moved me. Picked me up during my darkest hours.
Alison McLean Lane Yeah agreed, a musical icon in his own right... it's just sad that it takes a musician to die for ppl to come out and comment on a vid... I guess that's how the story goes
I lose it when George goes "All we have to do now, Is take these lies and make them true somehow. All we have to see, Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me" 🥺
The brilliance of this song and video cannot be understated. The models, sets, clothing (and lack thereof), lighting, and direction are classic and timeless. If we were told this was created in 2022 we would be 💯!
There are No "ModelS" All the photos are of just One Model, Linda Evangelista, for whom the phrase Super Model was coined. What makeup and a good photographer can do! ♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹
@@tomvalveede6808 Umm actually there is 5 supermodels in the video. Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz. Your welcome.
my mom was a teenager when he was big, but she never forgot about his music, so she always played his music in the house & even on the piano when I was a child and I grew to love him just as much, and now that I'm a teenager, I get in a George Michael mood regularly. His music and that voice speaks to and touches my soul.. R.I.P george
My very first album, chosen by me, was a George Michael's, that was in 1984, with Wham!. I was just six years old. Now some part of my own life has gone with him to heaven.
Your mom has a legit great taste in music and it's awesome to see she passed it down to the next generation :-) He's timeless and will absolutely be missed.
I love you George Michael for who you where and the beautiful music you gave us . My heart ❤️ is broken in the loss of you , and knowing the you suffered so much pain in your life . Your music was the light of your life and the light of our hearts 💕 you were not just a pop star ⭐️ you songs your writings where so much deeper that that . The meaningful words that meant so much to real life . Your just amazing George , your beautiful . May the angels wrap there souls around you a free you of all living pain
Superstar Bern :Dear GM adorer and fan, your words are so touching, you formulated it so perfectly, nothing to add. It is unbelievable supporting to read such lines for all of us GM fans, around the world. He was and still is a light in our lifes with his legacy, wich gave and still give so much to everyone in real life. A music genius, the most generous, kind artist our times, a beautiful person inside - out. He is still alive in his music, he will be around us for eternety.
I'd be honored if some GM fans would view my acoustic piano & vocal cover (live, no autotune) of PRAYING FOR TIME on my channel in tribute to George. As famous as he was, our man hasn't gotten his due for all the contributions he made to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. But eventually he will get his due. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE LOVE YOU.
TheZeppelin1V is right. If any of that ridiculous bronze-age nonsense IS true, then most of the recently deceased musicians will certainly NOT be in heaven. Jesus (meek and mild) was very clear in his 'Sermon on the Mount' speech - anyone attempting to remove "one word" of the Mosaic Laws would categorically end up in the _"unquenchable lake of fire."_ Just look up the Mosaic laws and see what they have to say about homosexuality. Incidentally, they're the same jolly laws which give the okay to the 'Chosen People' to commit genocide and slavery against anyone in the way of their 'promised land'. They also include specific instructions on how to sell your own daughter into sex slavery.
When I was a preteen, I thought this was adult life. I was gonna be living with models and we were gonna just hang out looking cool. And for a while, it kind of was that way. This video is a masterpiece and it always takes me back.
My late wife Terri and I love Michael George and we always considered him to be one of the best male vocalist of all time. Again, he will will be greatly missed. Just as much as I miss my wife. ; (
Mee too. Christy ages so gracefully and she is radiant. And Naomi is just amazing and beautiful. I can't belive they are 51 and 49. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So is Cindy, still so classy and beautiful. Love this Naomi interviews. Can't wait for the rest of the top models to be interviewed.
Christy is so far one of the best iconic's model, with Naomi of course 😎 I recommend you the documentary about Christy, you will like for sure (made in 90's) . Enjoy 🔥💋

@@vinniemoran7362I wanted to say the same. The 80s and the 90s had amazing music videos. What came after couldn't compare.
The video, the models, the song..this was the 90s. It was awesome. I'm sorry if you weren't there.
Is it just me or do others agree this video is a masterpiece - a work of pure art and brilliance. The voice, the lyrics, the imagery in the video - the way it was filmed - the beauty of the women and the destruction of the symbols.... it's breathtaking. I'm just in awe of this amazing video and song.
David Fincher at his best, before Seven.
I completely agree with you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@ruicoimbra1607 Wow. HOW did I not know this? I read your comment, watched it 2 more times, and the ONLY thing I can see is the set of 'Se7en.'
Totally agree...this vid, directed by David Fincher who would later become succesful & respected movie director, is truly a work of art, a masterpiece indeed. Dont forget the masterful editing, sound, lighting, costume and everything that made this vid a masterpiece. A golden benchmark.
until he passed away, I didn't realize how much he was apart of my musical child hood and apart of me. RIP George you have a place in my heart with all the greats.
George Michael you've gone too soon and with you a piece of my heart. I'm 44 and I've loved you since I was about nine. You have a voice that stirs one's soul. I miss you deeply. I will never forget you. Thank you for the gift you've shared. I love you

33 years later and this still sounds as fresh as ever. Happy 60th birthday George 😘
Кто слышит музыку, тот понимает бессмертие Джорджа
Dude is dead.
@@dougdawson7375 бессмертие его музыки, его голоса и песен.
Some say this song and video was career suicide others regard it as one most of the most influential videos ever.
Вы меня услышали. Спасибо
Played this song at my Mum's funeral yesterday. So many happy memories whenever I think of her dancing to it. RIP 🙏
God bless you and your mother.
So sorry for your loss. You could say she is experiencing her truest "freedom" now. 🙏
May she sing this song with the angels!
I'm sorry for your loss!
So sorry about your lost condolences to you and your family
RIP Mr. George Michael. You have always been an inspiration to me. As a gay man who was bullied, lied to, used and often left in despair,, I have always related to the lyrics of your songs. I believe I am a stronger person for having listened to your amazing music. Much Love to you....
Gilbert Martinez 💖💖💖💖💋💋👑💎💎🙋
Gilbert... I was a "not" gay teenager stuck in a tiny town in the early 80. It was right when "the gay cancer" became a part of the many reasons people used to discriminate, harass, and vilify homosexuality. I could NOT be gay... I knew I'd get killed if my secret ever became public. So I locked up all my urges, hid from the world emotionally, and spent the next decade fighting myself, because, I couldn't be gay.
I so understand what George Michael went through, but turn his anguish up to eleven.
sonicfrogdotnet ....and your point, being....?
We share the same experience. The pressure on George Michael though, the expectations on him to continue to market himself as the MTV-ified image of the straight man and keep his true feeling hidden from the public was horrific.
i'm so glad someone could bring you all this strength 💕💕💕
Happy 61st Heavenly Birthday George!
He was awful. You can see when the HIV kicked in from his toilet habits
Naomi, Linda, Sindi, Christy! ❤
George, RIP. ❤
Tatjana is rip as well. You forgot about her
you forgot Tatjana Patitz...absolutely stunning!!! RIP
Tyra Banks?
@@sikwilly45 That was Naomi Campbell not Tyra Banks
@carylanguirand7170 Sorry. I always thought the model in the sheer, long-sleeved top towards the end of the video was Tyra, given that Tyra appears in "Too Funky". You don't really get a good look at her and you couldn't pause a video back in those days.
Time passes, lives are lived and done, but this will always remain iconic for music, beauty, and style.
The video was, is and always will be something that I will watch in it's entirety.
Absolutely. I miss the 80s even more as I grow older.
Impresive most impreive oh yeah.🤩
Perfectly well said
Great comment
I feel like this music video upgraded the best models of that decade into art. This song has always given me the extra boost of energy I always needed. It's always on top of my playlist ❤
yes, love how you put words to it, I feel they became more timeless through this song…
Models of this decade? No. These women were and will always be goddesses. And it's hard to top them. Rather impossible. ;)
@@michaelgombkoto6941 There are the models of a generation.
We miss you, George❤
Every time I left an abusive workplace or got dumped by a partner with narcissistic traits, this iconic song strated playing on my inner sountrack. A timless classic for every occasion! 💖
Shoot, this is my Friday song
Sounds like you know how to pick them
I just left an abusive relationship and this song came to mind and brought me here
Baby, I hear you!
You deserve better! Always keep your head up and NEVER let anyone take control of you ❤️
What a timeless masterpice. There aren't any other words to describe this song.
I like the name BRUNO💯
Me too girl
When I feel like shit I play this song and I feel instantly better every single time
I so agree
i play this when doing homework or gaming or something, too bad i am to embarrassed to sing along cause mum and dad would here lol
LEE VIEW sexfilm
George Michaels was so talented that's music for all occasions
Me too 😊😊 Greetings from Poland 💕💕💕💕
Such a great, introspective and personal song. Miss you George Michael
George Michael saved Radley Lakes in South Oxfordshire, a beautiful place thanks to him. His charity was silent, nobody knew how much good the man did. Every time I walk my dog, I remember him.
R.I.P.🙏❤️
Ele era uma sumidade! Admiração e respeito pela trajetória de vida dele...hoje dia 25/06 seria aniversário dele....🎶🥺👋🎵😍🇧🇷 Se foi muito jovem! 🥺
im nin alu, nice ladies...
Great artist and nice person. Hi dear George
😀😎😅😘😗😃😚😙，，，，Watch out. You have your answer.
This video way ahead of its time. Iconic
Bryan F and the video for Fastlove too. Still looks cool af.
It featured Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Tatiana Patitz.....four of the highest paid fashion models in History
Bryan F this is definitely one of the best videos of the 90's i mean it. and i know there were many.
THE Super models. Everyone else came late.
Beautiful video and song was a great artist
This entire album was way ahead of it's time and was a complete departure from what he had been previously. It was his artistic expression and music he wanted to make, not what the record company wanted him to make. Listen Without Prejudice
I'd be honored if some fans of the Listen Without Prejudice album would give a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PRAYING FOR TIME and MOTHERS PRIDE on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of George's greatest compositions. Eventually our man will get his due for all that he gave to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE MISS YOU.
The Brilliance of this album never diminishes. It only becomes more and more evident what a massive massive Untouchable Talent George Michael was. For a man to write compose produce his own music and fight Sony, fight grief, fight the demons around him and still stay humble loving and generous is beyond amazing. What can be said for such a human being. I pray that he is in sweet sweet eternal peace.
Best era of beauty !!!!
Faith and Freedom are what anyone really need to live a good life. Thanks for all the music, George. We love you.
Too sad. I will mourn this one. Goodbye George. 😭😭😭
Mocha4Man Yes indeed!
Jean Holleman me too
Jean Hollem
His last years were pretty tough with lots of demons tormenting him. Hopefully he is happier in the other realm.
Grand Army sent me directly here! Joey's attempt to regain confidence in herself, whilst physically, figuratively, and literally dancing herself into not her old self... but the one she gets to recreate. Regardless of personal viewpoints one may have on the character, this song makes everyone root for her getting there.
Me too! 🙋🏽♀️
Mee too
haha same
omg! she really remind me THIS MASTERPIECE
Me too, this finally so amazing!! I love it 💚
Every single thing about this song and video is perfection.
thank you for the childhood memories R.I.P George Michael!!
gotta have faith, that we won't loose anymore people in 2016!
lovelyti2002 Nice to see you here. I am a subscriber.
lovelyti2002 love you Ti!!
It's nine months later and I still miss him.
Still 2017 and forever!
lovelyti2002 hi
This song is incredible when you put it in context. He wanted to free himself from the image he had created for himself and express his true identity, but felt trapped.
To be fair, that whole leather jacket aesthetic was a bit too ridiculous for the 90s.
" Today the way I play the game is not the same, think I'm gonna get me some happy" ❤ Sometimes the clothes do not make the man!
my understanding is that this song is an artistic homage to his legal break from his 'wham' counterpart/possible contractual boss(?). apparently, the severance was not pretty, and i'm not sure what predicated it, but words were had and hair was torn. "i don't belong to you, and you don't belong to me" "freedom! freedom! freedom!..." i mean, look at the lyrics: he was an indentured servant of sorts. who knows where he was culled from: poland? lots of musicians hail from poland. call me crazy....
@mariazo you know nothing of the 80s
How can anyone not like George Michael? I miss him!
Me too
Agreed
He performed at the jingoistic London 2012 olympics.
Giving respectability to the British regime's atrocities.
He was so talented. I miss him.
Great loss gone too soon like many other musical geniuses
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Father God in Heaven for the air I breathe and the Food,,water you provide for each of us ❤Amen Power in the Blood of Christ ❤Unity Love Eachother Peace be
The era of the REAL supermodels. Never to be duplicated but always imitated.
Samantha Davis : the 90s were the pinnacle of human civilization IMO
Chase Knight
these women all look so classy and REAL , omg no fake bloated lips and trashy fake cans.
Josh Dugan they were the top supermodels of the day
I couldn't agree more
IMO, this is the VERY BEST "music video" of all time (to date). As of today, it's "33 years old" and STILL the "Reigning Champ of Music Videos."
Th craziest thing of all is that fact that George does not even appear in the video, not once.
Nothing is more important than FREEDOM! 🇺🇸 R.I.P George Michael..
Vote blue!
A pop and choral song all in one. Epic George Michael for all time.
Legendary top models of the 90s, gorgeous George... This is the true spirit of the 90s. This is history! This is a beautiful story!
Ruht in Frieden ,George und Tatjana...😔🙏🌠
😔
So sad to hear about Tatjana
I can’t believe that I’ve learned this through your comment 😢. I came here for this incredible song.
Tatjana Patitz ❤❤❤1966 † 2023 ❤❤❤ (5:25) RIP 😔
RIP 😭
I really can't believe this.... Was just on a GM listening binge earlier this month, His tunes got me through some dark times this year. Rest easy George ✌
Thetasteofhoney1 I hear ya! It's crazy, One minute they're here, next they're gone. I'm still in disbelief. I loved his earlier stuff, before he "came out" so to speak.. This music just moved me. Picked me up during my darkest hours.
truly his last Christmas!
he is positively one of the best modern dance, soul, disco musicians that has ever existed. so sad!
Gab Xan
Alison McLean Lane Yeah agreed, a musical icon in his own right... it's just sad that it takes a musician to die for ppl to come out and comment on a vid... I guess that's how the story goes
This video is amazing
EVERYTHING is magnificent
I lose it when George goes "All we have to do now, Is take these lies and make them true somehow. All we have to see, Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me" 🥺
The brilliance of this song and video cannot be understated. The models, sets, clothing (and lack thereof), lighting, and direction are classic and timeless. If we were told this was created in 2022 we would be 💯!
There are No "ModelS"
All the photos are of just One
Model, Linda Evangelista, for whom the phrase Super Model was coined. What makeup and a good photographer can do! ♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹
@@tomvalveede6808 Umm actually there is 5 supermodels in the video.
Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz.
Your welcome.
@@neondeon475 I think he only sees one.
@@neptuneisbleeding lol.....seems like it hey! one model 😂😂😂 clowns all around.
George Michael will never die. His music is forever.
Just brought up your 100th "Like"....🙂
Well I got some bad news..
He was a legend. Respects from India. Miss him. Loved him n Aretha Franklin I knew you were waiting. RIP George n Aretha
agree with u nola

This song and music video will never not be iconic. These are the Supermodels of the 90s. And George lyrics and beat was perfection
By far, George Michael's absolute best song.
Completely agree. It's iconic and I could listen to it for ever.
Those 90’s models were a different breed. Absolutely stunning in every way imaginable. I wish they had added more of them to this music video.
That's what I was thinking too,Models today do not compare
Each model back in the 90s had their own look and mastered it. Was great. ❤
👏👏👏👏👍
Icons 🎉❤
So were/ still are We of that generation...🎉❤😊
This Is not only song.
This is an anthem.
A revolution
Глаз не отвести от этих красоток ❤
I am a Taiwanese.
Being a teenage,this song really give me great courage.
Although he have passed away,the spirit will stay

I love taiwai hi hhh
I'm 67 years old and partially crippled, but every time I hear this song I want to get up and dance.
I love this comment so much ❤
Get up baby and dance 🎉🎉
57yrs.end my tears dance with me
❤❤❤
Haha nice. F*ck that hip, i dance with ya😂❤
my mom was a teenager when he was big, but she never forgot about his music, so she always played his music in the house & even on the piano when I was a child and I grew to love him just as much, and now that I'm a teenager, I get in a George Michael mood regularly. His music and that voice speaks to and touches my soul.. R.I.P george
anita dutoit yeah my dad loved George michael, he's one of the reasons I loved him so much. I'm still playing this song on repeat
My mom was like 50 when wham came on the scene in the 80's and also was crazy about George from the get go.
My very first album, chosen by me, was a George Michael's, that was in 1984, with Wham!. I was just six years old. Now some part of my own life has gone with him to heaven.
My mom used to play his music too!
Your mom has a legit great taste in music and it's awesome to see she passed it down to the next generation :-) He's timeless and will absolutely be missed.
Absolutely brilliant! I'm very sorry he's gone.
One of the best videos ever made!!!!
RIP George Michael, you will remain a LEGEND!!!!
Woah, settle down
You got that right.
This is one David Fincher's best directed video.
@@mattie9481 what are you meaning by settle down?
REALTALK!!!AMEN!!!
I love you George Michael for who you where and the beautiful music you gave us . My heart ❤️ is broken in the loss of you , and knowing the you suffered so much pain in your life . Your music was the light of your life and the light of our hearts 💕 you were not just a pop star ⭐️ you songs your writings where so much deeper that that . The meaningful words that meant so much to real life . Your just amazing George , your beautiful . May the angels wrap there souls around you a free you of all living pain
Superstar Bern :Dear GM adorer and fan, your words are so touching, you formulated it so perfectly, nothing to add. It is unbelievable supporting to read such lines for all of us GM fans, around the world. He was and still is a light in our lifes with his legacy, wich gave and still give so much to everyone in real life. A music genius, the most generous, kind artist our times, a beautiful person inside - out. He is still alive in his music, he will be around us for eternety.
I'd be honored if some GM fans would view my acoustic piano & vocal cover (live, no autotune) of PRAYING FOR TIME on my channel in tribute to George. As famous as he was, our man hasn't gotten his due for all the contributions he made to modern music as a vocalist, songwriter and producer. But eventually he will get his due. THANK YOU GEORGE. WE LOVE YOU.
Superstar Bern
OMG the was so sweet.👏👩❤💋👩😢😘
you cant spell for shit
nappy dappy, ahh sorry about that then mate. :)

BEST VOCAL PERFORMER + BEST POP SONG EVER + BEST VIDEO CLIP EVER = G.O.A.T
No
If there is a God, he's having one hell of a concert up there...
Personal Account Hahaha! Good one!👍
Heaven just turned into a big gay hopping dance night club. Party on George! We'll miss you!
God doesn't let people like this into heaven so it is more like the devil is having his way with this guy.
MrJeezus Right on!!! What a party indeed!!!
TheZeppelin1V is right. If any of that ridiculous bronze-age nonsense IS true, then most of the recently deceased musicians will certainly NOT be in heaven. Jesus (meek and mild) was very clear in his 'Sermon on the Mount' speech - anyone attempting to remove "one word" of the Mosaic Laws would categorically end up in the _"unquenchable lake of fire."_ Just look up the Mosaic laws and see what they have to say about homosexuality. Incidentally, they're the same jolly laws which give the okay to the 'Chosen People' to commit genocide and slavery against anyone in the way of their 'promised land'. They also include specific instructions on how to sell your own daughter into sex slavery.
- Fincher.
- Five of the most beautiful women of the 90’s.
- Probably George’s best song
- Now in 4K.
Hard to get any better than this.
THIS was the real Fight Club...
Gotta agree with that. This is a hell of a pop song. Holds up really well. I'm not a huge fan of his. I was here for Christi Turlington
Very hard !! ❤😮😊
@@joelashadaliI have mine, and it's whoever reads this 💙
When I was a preteen, I thought this was adult life. I was gonna be living with models and we were gonna just hang out looking cool. And for a while, it kind of was that way. This video is a masterpiece and it always takes me back.
The Soundtrack of the 90's. Probably the best song of the period.
Pretty much described the soul of 90s
definitely
I actually believe this was his best solo track but we all have our own taste it' was so original
Baddest video ever made!!
A 90's Masterpiece. So grateful to seen him perform live.
My late wife Terri and I love Michael George and we always considered him to be one of the best male vocalist of all time. Again, he will will be greatly missed. Just as much as I miss my wife. ; (
aww , I am so truly sorry for your loss, in time may you find peace, and hopefully love again in time when your heart Is ready .
Wait. So I’m hearing that your Wife died? We give her happy prayers and remember Michael and your wife forever
So sorry for your loss. Always remember the good times and I pray you heal.
A masterpiece. The best pop song of the entire decade of the 1990's.
Dusan Oljaca hey I agree. This is a perfect pop song.
Heather Curran i have of cd "the 80" this is song
One of the best songs ever
Yes yes yes
What a beautiful person he was so miss him 🥰
A man who admitted his mistakes and flaws unlike many others. Respect to the man R.I.P
I think that was actually part of his beauty. He will definitely be missed.
I'm a straight 62 year Man. I will always love that man.
43 year straight man....wife and kids....fucking LOVE this dude!
Chris Wilson how does you being straight interfere with you liking this guy?
He's giving the caveat that his love for GM has nothing to do with sexuality? Pretty obvious I would think
There is still a widely accepted belief that if you like a gay artist you should be gay too, or, at least, prone to it.
Oh bullshit!
I've just seen a live steam with Naomi and Christy and I feel the need to watch this iconic video with the TRUE Supermodels.
Mee too. Christy ages so gracefully and she is radiant. And Naomi is just amazing and beautiful. I can't belive they are 51 and 49. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ So is Cindy, still so classy and beautiful. Love this Naomi interviews. Can't wait for the rest of the top models to be interviewed.
Christy is so far one of the best iconic's model, with Naomi of course 😎 I recommend you the documentary about Christy, you will like for sure (made in 90's) . Enjoy 🔥💋

ABSOLUTELY
YES‼️ YES‼️💄💋FREEEEEEEDUM ROCKZZZZ🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The sad thing is most people don't realize _why_ this song is so iconic (it's not the supermodels).
