His voice is so hauntingly beautiful. It is so clear and the depth is amazing. This song is timeless, and most definitely speaks to the soul. Huge loss when he passed. R.I.P. George Michael.
He was only 17 years old when he wrote this song. He wrote it, sang it, arranged it and produced it, as he did all his other music.This man was a Mega Mega talent
17...he was 17 when he wrote this! "guilty feet have got no rhythm"... Sublime!
You guys should do his song "Praying for Time".
Thanks for being respectful of his talent. He had a hard time coming out. It was a different time.
Please more GEORGE MICHAEL!!! 😊😊😊
You gotta do more George Michael! He crafted some of the most perfect pop songs and his voice is silky smooth perfection.
So most girls loved him. He was not out then... His biography is very interesting. My best friend died a couple days after she went to his concert. So this song and others remind me of that time. I was supposed to go and couldn't. But have always loved his voice! Like I have said before his version of Somebody to Love is so great!!!! Queen wanted him to be their lead singer. He decided to continue his solo career.
My brother in law came in the dinning room that Christmas Day and told us he died. I could not believe it at first. 2016: David Bowie, Glen Frye, Prince, George Michael... 😢 Wham is fun, but his solo career is 🔥!!!!!
🎧
My heart died, the day Prince died!
17years of age when he wrote this masterpiece and in this video 1984 only 21 years of age....❤
He recorded the best Christmas Song!
Mariah Carey has entered the chat…
George Michael was outed (forces out of the closet) when he was arrested for cruising in L.A. in 1998. It was a very big deal, and he lost a big part of his American fanbase, since the U.S. audience was still quite homophobic.
One of the very best songwriters of his generation. Such a phenomenal talent that we lost way too soon. RIP George, we miss you ❤️
0:41 One More Try. Listen to One More Try. Please. George Michael has hits. He was impressive at every turn. His songwriting was top tier mastery. His voice was velvet. Such a huge loss. ❤️🙏🏾❤️🔥
This is one of the most wonderful ballads I've ever listened to. It marked the 80s. George was beautifully unique. He used to sing in such a way that his singing had you magically to start a timeless journey.
I think so many women cried when they found out George was gay. He was a very handsome man. I really like the song, the music but hate the message. Why does a man cheat on a woman then cry like a baby when she dumps him like a bad habit? He cheated then cries about the consequences of his own actions. It's not rocket science. Duh!
Let it go lady, let it go. It’s just a song, George didn’t cheat on nobody.
@@JWCFB I just said I liked the song & music, but hated the message. I know George didn't cheat on anyone.
Besides this song, others that come to mind when I think of GM are “Faith”, “Father Figure” and “Freedom ‘90”. Nick should know at least one of ‘em. ✌🏽
Feel like Freedom 90 is a good next song - his transition out of Wham and into the real George Michael - iconic in and of itself.
Fun fact, George Michael went through 8 sax players before he found one who gave him the sound he wanted.
It's interesting to hear "the kids" wonder about whether George was in the closet back then, like it was a casual choice some people might have made for this or that reason. I'm not being critical. I get it. The world's been a different place for the last 20 or so years as far as that kind of thing is concerned. In the 1980s, in most places and among most people, being gay was seen as one of the worst possible things you could admit to. Gay bars were illegal in most places through the 1960s and into the 1970s. In the 1980s, same-sex intimacy was a crime in at least half the US. The social stigma, even for the rich and famous, was downright brutal except in a very few places. And the rest of the country made derisive jokes about "those people" in New York and San Francisco. Even where there were rumors that somebody *might* be gay, everyone automatically assumed that they would never "admit" to it, just like nobody would be expected to admit to being an abusive spouse or an embezzler. It's amazing how much has changed in such a short time.
I always enjoyed George Michael's voice. There are a lot of songs of his that you guys can enjoy.
He blew up the RB charts back then. This song fit yacht rock vibe too. Good choice!
George wrote and produced this. Also played most of the instruments on the song. Originally, his record label wanted Jerry Wexler to produce this. Wexler was the legendary producer of numerous songs sung by people like Ray Charles & Aretha Franklin. Jerry's version was so bad that his label asked George to produce it himself. He auditioned 10 different sax players and played all the other instruments on the song. He was a genius writer, producer and singer and this is considered on the best pop songs of the past 50 years
I turned thirteen in 1980 so I am an 80's kid. In response to questions Nick posed; George wasn't "out" at this point partly because he wasn't sure of his preference himself. He briefly dated Brooke Sheilds and reportedly his song "A Different Corner" was about her. DJ Kathy Jeung, who starred as George Michael's love interest in his 1987 video for 'I Want Your Sex', dated the singer in the late '80s for three years, when George was 24-years-old. The 80's was an incredible decade but the Aids epidemic brought uncertainty, bigotry and massive death tolls to the gay community. This alone kept many people "in the closet."
Great video guys! Keep up the great song selections.
he wrote this song in his bedroom when he was 17. the man was a genius. RIP George
Another must see is him singing with Queen at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert he nailed somebody to love 75k was at Wembly stadium
Agreed! And ' Killer/Papa Was A Rolling Stone ' was also a magnificent performance!
“One more Try” is one of my fave of his.
He came out to his friends and family just before WHAM! split up, but his record company wouldn't let him come out in public for years. When he was caught cottaging in a public toilet in the USA, he released the single "Outside," one of the biggest up-yours ever. Worth a watch!
Check out George Michael at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert singing Somebody To Love with Queen.
I was fortunate to see George Michael sing this song live in a beautiful outdoor venue at night in the 1980s. His voice sounds even better live.
George stayed in the closet until Freedom came out. He was very tortured about not being accepted as gay. The time was not accepting people as gay back then. My favorite is Father Figure! He never married anyone.
And yes, George was in the closet for awhile. Most people were back then. Then, he released a song called Freedom and it was finally obvious and he was finally free. It’s a fantastic song with a great video. Iconic, really.
This is proof that the 502 are equal opportunity reactors... lol
As someone who enjoys all genres of music, that’s what I appreciate about these guys. There’s some level of balance here that you don’t always see on other reaction channels.
@Gabriel McDonnell 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
"The Edge of Heaven" by Wham! is full of energy and well worth a listen.
This track was released in 1984. It's my understanding that he "came out" in 1998. Back in the 1980s record producers and film makers preferred the artists to not come out. Most probably having to do with sales. We are obviously in a much different era today. I do not believe that he ever got married. The ring on his finger was most likely a prop.
One of the TRUE classics of the 80s. George Michael was a musical genius. And he wrote this when he was seventeen!!!
Now go for Fast Love. You'll love the groove and the video.
You can date this video by just looking at the Princess Diana's hairstyle on the girlfriend.
Beutyfullovit
George did all the backing vocals on this as well. Also, the girl in this clip apparently kept fainting while filming, he was that much of a heart throb. 😂 He didn’t come out until the 90’s. First he was bisexual but then came out fully some years later
Please do Kissing a Fool! Jazzy soulful tune by the amazing George Michael! Thanks for the reaction guys!
✌🏻😉✌🏻
There is soooo much more to George than Careless Whisper, try delving a little bit deeper, I think you'll be very surprised. Have a look at his live stuff, MTV unplugged session from 1996, the concert of hope, twenty five live. The ring George wore was a gift from his family and had the name YOG on it which was George's nickname 💜
George Michael genius who wrote,sung,arranged,produced ,played most of the instruments and even part engineered some of his songs try spinning the wheel or cowboys and angels next
WHAM! had three albums Fantastic, Make It Big, Music from the edge of heaven.
Loving how Ryan's upper body instantaneously went into turbo groove-move with that very first sax note😂😍💖
The best vocal performance I've ever heard from him was his duet with Elton John on "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me".
George was a brilliant writer, singer and great man, gave so much to charity that was not revealed till after his death, helped many people, such a loss. R.I.P. George Michael.
George Michael is a special talent. An incredible musician, best singer of his era
He has the best voice ever. I was lucky enough to see Wham in concert in Houston. Such an amazing and energetic show. He will be deeply missed, But his voice will live on forever. Not many know this but George was a very generous man. Helping charities and individuals. God bless him. RIP George.
George Michael has an amazing voice. His solo album older is completely amazing. You would not even believe how good he sounds and the song are Beyond this world.
His album Faith is amazing from start to finish! Had this song as my ringtone for many years.😂❤
So many great George Michael songs. Jesus to a Child, but my favourite is George but under the Wham label. A Different Corner.
Please react to George’s song Kissing A Fool! You will not be disappointed! Groovy like this. Beautiful song and instruments and vocals! Great channel! ❤
This song is AUDIO GOLD! It'll live on 4EVER!!!
I have this vinyl, love GM and Wham. This song 🎵 played at every single Dance during my middle and High School years
Fabulous stuff. Thankyou so much guys. You should check out George Michael's FREEDOM. It's incredible. Also, I don't expect you've checked out Ian Dury and the Blockheads yet. Their biggest hits were HIT ME WITH YOUR RHYTMN STICK and REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL PART 3. They are both fantastic songs but of the two I'd recommend you review the latter. REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL PART 3 is so original and absolute genius, I guarantee you won't have heatd anything like it. Ian Dury, the lead singer, is British and raised in London, it's evident in the lyrics with lots of cockney influences. Ian had polio as a child and didn't let his difficulties walking interfere with his life as a rock star.
All of us have a cross to bear in life. This man gave us a lot of beautiful music. and had a beautiful soul. A beautiful voice. His cost: Public humiliation, attacks on his sexual identity, incessant demands and pressure on his career. He bore up as best he could, but fame and fortune took a great toll from him. Back then he couldn't put a man in his video, hard to do today. No, George never married, but back then I think he wore a ring to help divert any attention from his sexuality. None of that should even matter. Look at what he left us. A suggestion: Please review "A Different Corner". It's his best, in my opinion. Thanks, guys!
George will be inducted in hall of this year in November. George was 17 when he wrote this song
There are so many great George Michael songs you should review especially those like A Different Corner, Jesus to a Child, One more Try, As ( duet with Mary J Blige), Praying for Time, Don't let the sun go down on me with Elton John to name but a few. He was a fantastic singer and entertainer and will remain loved by all that new him and those that get to know him.
That's not a wedding ring on his finger. It's a ring giving to him by his parents for his 21st birthday with his nickname on it, Yog. His real name
is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou which is greek.
Great song, Ty!!!!!
George Michael was not out at the time. This song, video, his voice and style are sublime. I love to see men dress like he did, so sexy.
You need to play One More Try video and Don't let the Sun go down on me with Elton John live version !
Beautiful soul with a beautiful voice you should hear him sing The Long and Winding Road. Anything he sings live is definitely worth listening to.
Such a beautiful man, love George
His best song lyrically is Kissing a Fool.
Such a talent and so missed. Please listen to “Jesus to a Child” - hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for your insightful reactions, guys.🇬🇧🇺🇸
If you like the SAX listen to Bob Seger - Turn the Page
More George Michael please, "Cowboys and Angels" is one of my favorites :) Also, another song that features the sax in a great way is "Urgent" by Foreigner. Great channel!
Cowboys and Angels!! 👍🏻✌🏻👍🏻
Yes Cowboys and Angels is amazing. Was my besties favorite so I think of him when I hear it now and cry...
Father figure from the concert of hope is so freaking amazing I could watch it daily please dive into George Michael catalog thanks Gina
True iconic sax from the 80's would have to be Herb Alpert- Rise.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe he came “Out” in the late 90s when he was caught in a bathroom stall by an undercover cop who basically bated him. His video “Outside” is definitely provocative in the lyrics and the video which came out shortly after he did.
(Taken from Wikipedia) The song's music video, directed by Vaughan Arnell, shows couples of various sexual orientations engaging in lewd public activities while Michael, dressed as a police officer, dances in a public toilet, referencing his arrest for cottaging in April 1998.
100% correct
Oh gosh this takes me back! George has such a smooth voice in every song he sings. His tunes were always on the radio. Thanks guys for reacting to this one!
His managers etc told him he couldn't be gay or he would lose most of his fans. Hes been with women but came out after being caught publicly (toilets) and had to cine out after being arrested but it never stopped us from loving him. Hes a musical genius and easy on the eye.
As a result of his arrest, we got “Freedom” sang and performed with a whole new level and attitude.
You guys are a trip!!
Brilliant. On his upbeat side try Freedom, Fast love
If you want heartbreak boys listen to George's "One More Try" ... Goosebumps ...😪
One thing I didn’t see mentioned is that his partner in Wham! was given writing credits on this track in an act of generosity by Michael. He knew it was going to be a hit and set his friend up for financial security. Very few artists who were gay in that era were out. For good reason. I loved his voice then and still do. Never really changed my mind about his music or Queen’s music upon learning Freddie Mercury’s orientation. Iconic, pure passionate voices. And they will be missed.
Ty, iconic sax playing in a song is in "Urgent" by Foreigner. You won't be disappointed.
The 80's was a decade long party that was AMAZING to experience .....
Don't know what he looked like in later years but back in the day he was a stud!
It's not a secret many artists have very little input on the final product (video in this case)... And that's the eternal rebellion of Artists Vs. Management when things start to grow... Do yourselves a favor and react to George Michael's "Cowboys and Angels" 😎
Do Fastlove !
Great song from a great artist.
Most people suspected George was gay, when Wham! first hit the scene, but we weren't sure. After all, it was the '80s and a bunch of male singers were wearing makeup and sporting wild hair; George Michael was not that unusual. Him having a girlfriend was even in the entertainment news, with her appearing in one of his videos. She was very hot, and he grew a short scruff on his face, making him look more masculine. Therefore, many people were surprised to learn about him being gay, especially in such a public way. But, his fans still loved him, and they always will. His se× life should have been no one's business but his own. But hey, we've still got his music!
GREAT reaction guys! I always refer to this song as being the sexiest song of the 80's. I can never hear this song too much. RIP George Michael. He is sorely missed...he had the voice of an angel.
2016 was a horrible year because we lost George Michael, David Bowie and Prince. 💔 I imagine they are all up there having a huge jam session.
Maybe a few kids in the 80s didn't know he was gay, but of course anyone with any gaydar knew, however we was 'outed' when arrested cottaging (is that a term in the states?) in LA, I think, and the press (especially over there) went wild and tried to basically destroy him.... (where Sony music had failed) but the public didn't care, his fans obviously didn't care and he clearly didn't care as released Outside, a song and video of which are basically a sexed up p1$$ take of the 'incident', including George and dancers dressed as police officers boogying in front of mirror-balled urinals.
Try Edge of Heaven by Wham! Very upbeat and one of my favorites. Also, A Different Corner by George Michael. Absolutely beautiful. The man's voice is absolutely haunting and angelic on this one.
Classic! Deon Estus on bass.
my most favourite song by george is "one more try" it is devastatingly beautiful 💔
and if you think this vid is gorgeous you need to see duran duran's "save a prayer" - STUNNING. duran really set the bar for amazing videos in the '80s, everyone else just followed (except for a-ha's "take on me" - that was a game-changer). also check out DD's vids for "the chauffer" and "rio".
Extended version on prom night made most of the ladies feel good...
R.I.P George Michael
He did so many great duets even one with Aretha Franklin. “ I knew you were waiting for me “. He was gay but unfortunately he felt he had to hide it because he thought it would destroy his career. It was very difficult for him. Gay or not. I love his voice
Fun fact: did you know that George Michael ( with his friend Andy as Wham) started his career in 1981 with a Rap song? Its called Wham Rap and it celebrates the fun of being a unemployed young man in Margaret Thatchers Britain beginning of the 80ties when economy was down...its just great!
I love Wham Rap, brilliant song 💜
It was about 2 girls he was seeing cos there were girlfriends he said he wasn't sure he was gay he thought he was bisexual most of his songs were about some one or about him he was a genius and gorgeous
GREAT reaction guys!!
Check out “father figure”
The band "Seether" did a covered of this song, and it is absolutely incredible. One of the best covers ever made.
This is such a great song. His voice and soul, the sax, and the lyrics absolutely make it. "Guilty feet have got no rhythm." RIP George Michael
If you like sax, listen to Black Cow by Steely Dan or Deacon Blues by the Dan.
Time passages (Alt Steward)
@@hernanpatrik4908 great song too, I think they may have already done it.
Oh Wham! Gran dúo George Michael y Andrew Ridgeley. Su álbum de 1984 "Make it Big," contiene grandes canciones: " Everything She Wants" "Wake me up before you go gos" "Careless Whispers" hits en UK,US y el mundo.
Gracias por esta reacción de un clásico
I know how you love great vocal performances. Try Gino Vanelli. "A River Must Flow" or "I Just Wanna Stop" from Brother to Brother. 1978.
More George Michael please! Try “Faith” (solo) or “Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” (Wham) for a completely different vibe.
He never married. Had a girlfriend featured in the controversial video for I want Your Sex (one of his best songs). He eventually found a male partner who died of AIDS.
