Im proud to say i met George back stage in Melbourne Victoria Australia in rhe mid 80s. Brilliant human being that not only signed my Wham T shirt but he asked me if he could take a photo together with me.
Sorry birdlife but George was far superior to Andrew and I don't mean that nasty Andrew a great bloke but George a talent beyond belief. And just my opinion too
Ive watched this documentary many times. My two favorite performances are the MTV unplugged gig with his mom in the audience and the Freddy Mercury tribute concert. I grew up listening to George and i dont see the when i wont. The man was the total package, a one off. We'll never see another George Michael in our lifetime.
In my 60+ years I have found the most prolific, talented musicians are the most tortured souls. Their pain, anguish and happy moments literally poured out through song, hence the true saying "only the good die young". Thank you for sharing your gift of song. RIP
I was in the front third of the crowd at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, and when George came on and sang I was "finally someone who knows what Queen were about, and can do the songs justice!". It was a powerful performance from him, setting the bar too high for everyone else to reach that day. The lowest point was probably when Axel Rose butchered Bohemian Rhapsody.
Все,що треба - визнати безумовний факт геніальності Джорджа Майкла! Його голос- неповторний ! Музика,яку він створював- поза часом! Вірність його фанатів ,яка залишається потужною і сьогодні! Його високий рівень людської гідності, благодійності,світогляду,інтелекту! Яскрава зірка, яка залишила свій слід на цій планеті!
He is full of shit and full of himself and if he walked out in the streets and no one recognized him he'd be a sad crying little man. I am a huge fan of his but this part of him makes me sick. Because it's so fake. I don't like the transition he made from WHAM to Faith to this old decrepit bathe was before his death
Subscribed!! This video just showed up on my YT. So glad. Was a Wham! fan in the 80's. Dated a guy who drove a Camaro and dressed to a T and resembled George! Every girl my age went ga-ga over him 😂😂😂. Thank you for the videos and the walk down memory lane. ♥️♥️♥️
@@soundmuseumau not sure what happened to last comment, maybe it didn't post or it got deleted. That guy I dated ended up coming out of closet and moved to California. The 80's were a difficult time to just be who we wanted to be. I was the envy back then but not for that guy, I dressed like Madonna 😂😂😂
anyone else notice that people who crave fame dont want to engage with the very people that made them famous in the first place and made them so money rich,unless the have that physical barrier between them and the paying,adoring public?
George started when he was very young - thank heavens he had Andrew by his side. They went through the Wham! rollercoaster together & over time with Andrew's help, George grew more confident within himself & his ability as a singer, songwriter & producer. I think the success of Faith took him by surprise & things went to another level - when you are faced with that you just have to hold on, try & get through the ride the best you can. It couldn't have been easy at the time for him. Then when you become a massive star, people expect more of you but in George's case he just wanted to release great music. He hated the promo side of things which so many artists do. They are creative people. George was a star before social media, streaming etc - if it was difficult then, it would be an absolute nightmare now.
Agree but shame he didnt have time for one on one with a fan ya know but people will say it's his personal protection people pulling the strings @@soundmuseumau
Jack worked very hard for his. When he first came to England he worked seven days a week as a Waiter. If there was one thing that George got from Jack was a strong work ethic. He went over everything in his career with a fined tooth comb. It's so impressive to know that so many UK Musicians 🇬🇧 met at children at school. Banarama, Tears For Fears, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Duran Duran. I could be wrong but were there any others.
I wonder if George had any childhood friends and how he treated them when he got super rich and famous ? Cos he looked like the kind of guy who if he saw a homeless guy would give him 40 quid
I can see why Andrew was not 100% happy with the break up of Wham! I think Geroge wrote his best work in the Wham years! I feel he should have stayed two more years. It would have been better for George also to mature a little bit more. But it worked out ok in the end or did it..
Question.... ...what could have happened if they didn't sign with Innervisipn. Would they gotten picked up by a label??? Maybe ......Maybe Not. It's a good thing they signed with INNERVISISON.
one man says ...i never meet rich happy man....look how he died same like other celebrities...i like his songs but fame and money not allways means happines
Fandom is a strange thing. When I was younger I would often meet celebrities after various tv show tapings or instores. When I moved into media I interviewed them & done red carpets etc - it was fun.
@ i was a fan of a few singers and bands. I saw their concerts and didnt scream or cried or chased them so cannot relate to that need. Well, human beings are crazy animals we all know it…

Oh that’s so lovely - what a special moment. I sadly never got to see Wham/George live.
@@soundmuseumau many of us didn't nor Michael Jackson
I got to see MJ once in NZ, he was in his prime - was an amazing concert.
This documentary is brilliant. George Michael had true God given talent and really blessed the world with his music. Thank you for uploading this.
It is an excellent documentary which George was involved in to promote his album Patience in 2004.
He was ok, but Andrew Ridgeley was the true talent.
Sorry birdlife but George was far superior to Andrew and I don't mean that nasty Andrew a great bloke but George a talent beyond belief. And just my opinion too
@colinevans39 it was pure sarcasm, sorry.
He was a giver and helped many without publicizing it as most celebrities do!!!
I can never forget the year...2016. David Bowie, Prince and then George MIchael ...RIP all the great ones...
BTW...Thank you for the documentary
That year was a dreadful year, the loss of so many iconic artists. Personally it was a difficult year too.
He seemed like a thoroughly kind, decent human being. And what a voice!

What a singer and immense Human Being, RIP GM 🙏🕊
A true humble talented singer -also gave a lot to charity❤ much missed 😢
If there has been one docu on George there's been a hundred. Why can't people just realize how talented he was and leave his memory alone.
George was actually involved in this documentary, it's an official one to promote his album Patience in 2004.
I was in the front third of the crowd at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, and when George came on and sang I was "finally someone who knows what Queen were about, and can do the songs justice!". It was a powerful performance from him, setting the bar too high for everyone else to reach that day. The lowest point was probably when Axel Rose butchered Bohemian Rhapsody.
@@EgoShredder You are absolutely correct, Axel has always been such a joke. George was spot on.
ahh, that hit "If i die they will put a little blue plaque on it" Merry Christmas George, Rest in Peace
What a loss. Boy I miss him. Beautiful human being
A confident little boy raises a finger. History is then made.
Such a nice guy
The way he delivers that line. Priceless wit.

So talented and gone too soon, he is dearly missed
Loved his music.
Love love love A different story, thank you for sharing it with us 💜
My pleasure 👍
Bless him, 11 days off his anniversary. 😒
He loved it all ❤

The Prince of Pop (Michael Jackson is the King) had one of the best male voices in music history.
Last Christmas e the definitive Christmas song
George’s voice was absolutely incredible

You dated a guy who looked like George? 😲 You must have been the envy of all the Wham fans - I wonder how he turned out.
@@soundmuseumau he finally came out of the closet and lives in California 😂😂

I don't agree in this case.

He gave plenty to his fans, It's his life he lived it how he wanted, I would never judge someone over their own choices.
Can't help but think that he should of had better people around him.
Yeah in hindsight I think so too
I think he would say he did have wonderful friends
Well, there was that bathroom....
I wonder if George had any childhood friends and how he treated them when he got super rich and famous ? Cos he looked like the kind of guy who if he saw a homeless guy would give him 40 quid
George was very giving - he had a lot of close friends whom he had known a long time including Andrew & Shirley
@soundmuseumau I don't have any close friends :) some of us are just better or worse in that department
@@soundmuseumauit's very hard to make lifelong friends especially when you move around a lot
I have all 3 versions of this …
Part 2 is also live now - more is coming in the new year 👍
zo good
Any documentary that begins with Simon Cowell deserves me immediately hitting the OFF button.
Lubię Georga Michaela ale nie rozumiem dlaczego nie mogę znaleźć tego dokumentu po polsku
I can see why Andrew was not 100% happy with the break up of Wham! I think Geroge wrote his best work in the Wham years! I feel he should have stayed two more years. It would have been better for George also to mature a little bit more. But it worked out ok in the end or did it..
Where's part 2...link doesn't work??
Here’s part 2 - ruclips.net/video/X01Z0dqj1kU/видео.htmlsi=_k7mt1-xLiMzFUfd
5:02. Watch your words.
I know right - was difficult watching that bit.
Question.... ...what could have happened if they didn't sign with Innervisipn. Would they gotten picked up by a label??? Maybe ......Maybe Not. It's a good thing they signed with INNERVISISON.
I really think on the strength of George’s very early songwriting & their determination, a label would have signed them. We’ll never know.
why not 16:9 screen?
It’s from a very old dvd I made 20 years ago
... and? Does the house have a plaque yet?
A fan needs to report back on this.
15:13!!!!
All good apart from E John obviously.
Elton always spoke very fondly of George & vice versa.
They loved each other
He didn’t like the fame but liked the fame.
Right, he wanted it when he wanted it.
It’s a tough one
Everyone deserves a private life whatever your job. When these celebs aren't working just let them be.
Too much of anything can be bad
one man says ...i never meet rich happy man....look how he died same like other celebrities...i like his songs but fame and money not allways means happines
And George knew that 💜
He said he didn’t want the fame but couldn’t escape it as music was his life and couldn’t give that up. It was a catch 22 situation.
the band wah droped out of TOTP
Changed from the days when was signing Karma, karma camelion.
Wrong George lol
Elton John can be so insufferable.
Elton & George were very close, but Elton would be a handful if he's in a mood Im sure lol.
Andrew was nothing compared to George .......
…… but being a good friend to Jorg he gave him the opportunity to go “make it big” pun intended.. George mentioned that
Wham! wouldn’t have existed without Andrew. He was the driving force behind Wham!, he believed in George before he believed in himself.
Why people are so pathetic waiting for celebrities to get out of a building 🤦♂️

dislike his reaction to the italian fans
It must be very difficult in that situation
