Not only did he pass away on Christmas Day, but he wrote one of the most famous Christmas pop songs of all time. George Michael was a tremendous talent and is sadly missed.
Christmas was such an tortured time for him. His mother’s birthday was Christmas Eve and he never really recovered after she passed. His sister also passed on Christmas 3 years after he did. 😢
George was a very good man, he did a lot for various charities and didn’t want anyone to know about it. He did things and gave money because he cared about people.
He was already very well-known by the time this song came out. A fun Wham song is "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," and I LOVE George's solo song "Faith". Also "Praying for Time" and his duet of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" with Elton John. He and Freddie Mercury were friends, and George performed "Somebody to Love" with Queen at Freddie's memorial concert, considered the best of the show.
Stay on this artist. He was a rare breed. He could sing, dance, produce, play and is perhaps the greatest live vocalist you may ever hear. His writing is his greatest gift if you can believe it. Following his death people started coming forward with tales of his quiet philanthropy estimated to be over 50 million to charities and individuals that are in need. He was slated by his record company Sony to be a heart throb pop star. He fought for his art and integrity turning his back on multi millions to be a writer of thoughtful songs that met his personal standard and message that he needed to express. He was an all time great Please review One More Try, Kissing a Fool, or Jesus to a Child. Then you will have a glimpse of understanding who he was.
This is my favorite artist of all time. He was apparently the kindest, most gentle soul. I think because of that, he was very vulnerable to those things that could harm him. He felt pain and sorrow so deeply that it was difficult for him. He wrote the most beautiful amazing songs of all time. I read he was most proud of getting inducted into the song writer's hall of fame in his home country and winning 6 Ivor norvello song writing awards. Andrew said when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, his combined sales of Wham and solo career was 150 million. That is no small feat. This is a talent that comes along once in a lifetime. As elton john said he was the paul mccartney of his era. There isn't a day I don't listen to his music. There's always something for the Heart and for the Feet. ❤
I concur. I saw george live several times and his voice is even better in person than on the recording. Because you could hear the nuances in his voice and the subtle breath that he would take brought another level of sensitivity and passion to his vocals.
George has one of the BEST male voices of our time. He wrote this song when he was only 17 - and it was just the start of his fantastic career. My top favourite song and video is One More Try. The mix of the song and video just blend beautifully - and I never tire of watching it.
@@willtherealgeorgemichaelpl5879 We can speculate that there may have been something more sinister in George's death - but it's unlikely that we will ever know the full truth. There were similar questions about Elvis and Michael Jackson. We'll just never REALLY know. All we can do is appreciate the legacy of talent that they've all left behind :)
I know you are a huge queen fan and George Michael, idolized Freddy, and when Freddy first passed away, they did a memorial concert for him at Wembley Stadium in England, and George took his role and played with the rest of the band queen, and you need to hear and react to him doing Somebody to love
Let me just tell you where George registers, George has a duet with Aretha " I knew you were waiting", " If I told you that", with Whitney, Mary J. Blige and Elton John " Don't let the sun go down on me". George Michael was one of the best male vocalist to exist!
George was the total package; he was a gifted singer, wrote his own music from a young age, had incredible stage presence, and he was super handsome. He broke a lot of hearts when he came out of the closet, which he did in a rocketship. Faith, Kissing A Fool, Father Figure, Freedom 92, Too Funky, Papa Was a Rolling Stone, etc. are great songs to start with.
Thank you for not dogging him out about his problems, but celebrate the beautiful things he gave us. I still love him. Like you said, as long as he didn't hurt kids or stuff like that, I'm good. I can't wait to see your reaction.
He wrote “Jesus to a Child” as a tribute to his partner who passed away from AIDS. It is the most beautiful and sad love song I’ve ever heard. Official video leaves out a key verse, watch his live performance at MTV Europe VMAs or the audio only version.
George was a perfectionist. If he wasn’t completely happy with a song he changed it or he didn’t release it. George once said, “if the news papers want to know about my life, they should listen to my lyrics.” I think he was honest and kind and the world is not a better place without him. RIP George, we miss you. But the music lives on everyday.
When the song and music video was originally released in the US, it was released as “WHAM! (Featuring George Michael)”. In the US, the song was part of their US album, “Guilty”. In the UK, the song was part of their UK album, “The Final”.
Where do you go from here, you won’t go wrong, from Faith, to Father Figure, to his duet with Sir Elton John for Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me. You cannot go wrong with G Michaels, truly a great musician
It was great to see Andrew Ridgeley induct him into the HoF recently & shows the depth of their friendship that Andrew knew it was time for him to move on from Wham! and go solo. Most would have been bitter to have their pop career essentially ended, but instead he continued to support his friend & what was best for him.
I agree with you that the negative things don’t even matter because he was the most beautiful and wonderful man In all ways. He was a great singer. Every time I listen to him I just feel great inside he was the best singer I’ve ever heard, and ever well I love him so much and I always will . Hes fantastic and was one of most charitable men there ever was. He sang this song all the way till the end he did like this song, too. all the people who worked with him and loved him. I’m not sure where you got that information from which site, but he was a great man and all of people that worked with him Love you too very much. He was very charitable. He like this song because he sang in all of his tours all the way to the end.
Rabbit hole is a must! Several duets as well. Aretha Franklin+ George Michael, Waiting For You, Mary J Blige + George Michael, As, Elton John+ George Michael, Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me. It's a little long, but well worth it. 1992 The Princess Trust Concert. Fantastic performance!
Also the duet with Stevie Wonder (Living for the City) which may be the best of the duets. His live performances of I can’t make you love me and spinning the wheel are spectacular and definitely worth a listen.
Yes! He has so many good ones! There was another one he did with Stevie Wonder as well. It was Stevie Wonder's song and he sang it at the Princess Trust, Love is in Need of Love. Beautiful song
Listen to his duets Aretha,Stevie,Ray Charles, Whitney, so many. My fav will always be “As” with MaryJ Blige. George wrote this track at 17 yrs old. Took 13 sax players before he got the right sound. Listen, you won’t be disappointed
If you want to listen to a song from George that will blow you away both in lyrics and heart rending vocals give “One More Try” a listen. One of his 80s best!
George Michael had perfect pitch and had one of the most awesome voices ever and wrote his own music. He was very talented. George gave a lot of money to charity. He was loved by all. React to his hits: "A Different Corner", A duet with Aretha Frankin "I Knew You Were Waiting", "Killer, Papa Was a Rolling Stone", (get the Live version) and you will see how much his back-up singers loved performing with him, and "I Can't Make you Love Me" (live also). You mentioned this was the 1st time you saw a song hit #1 in Greece; George was part-Greek. RIP George x
I was visiting my family in LA that Christmas. I woke up on Christmas morning and scrolled through my phone, then went into complete shock seeing the news of his death. When I went to the breakfast table with the rest of the family I just burst into tears. My aunt said some comforting words, probably thinking I was out of my mind for crying over a celebrity's death. It just hit me so hard. He was a GEM.💖
He was an incredible singer and songwriter. Thank you for this reaction. He wasn't a plant. You've probably heard his group Wham! with songs like Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Last Christmas.
At the time of writing this George was one part of the duo Wham! and this was featured and came off their 2nd Studio album and gets credited to either the group or George
You gotta check out his song "Everything She Wants" from his time in the group WHAM!!! Such a good song. I also remember when he came out as gay, he broke a lot of hearts that day! Lol
Lol before he was solo he belong to a duo group called Wham. I almost spit my tea out when u called him a ladies man. Yes we ladies loved him. He didn’t love us back the same way though. But no one knew that for years until he came out.
Regardless of a ring on his finger I think I’m right in saying for years George had relationships possibly with both men & women, this song was originally released in 1984 a full 15 years before George made the decision to ‘come out’ having presumably struggled with his sexuality up to that point.
It was his first single as a solo artist - WHAM!, the group he was a part of before this, was a moneymaking act and George Michael knew what he was doing.
Alot of his music videos were played after 9pm. And they had viewer disclaimers. 😅 Any song from the Faith album are amazing. Father Figure, Faith & Freedom. Just to name a few favorites. Sidebar- Freedom has 2 versions, choose the video from the 90s. It's has the original Victoria Secret Lineup. The OGs. ❤
Now you have to check out his track 'Freedom' and watch the video. He never appears in the video, but the absolute cream of the crop of the golden age of 90s supermodels stand in and lipsync the song.
"Wham!" were so amazing. My best friend and I were crazy about all their music. There was a documentary on Wham on Netflix recently. Andrew and George were best friends from school and were incredibly close for many years. You should really check out their music and George's solo albums.
I was asked to join a cabaret group to sing this song. When they said "Careless Whisper," I said I didn't know the song. They said "yes you do," I put the song on, heard the first second of that sax, and said"oh yes I do!!" I did join the cabaret!
Go back to a tv show called “Eli Stone”. It was a tongue in cheek show about a guy who starts hearing things in his head and one of the conduits is George Michael…appearing in his mirror at home. Also his duet with Aretha Franklin is PHENOMENAL…”I Knew You Were waiting”. Check it out!!!
Before GM released his first solo album FAITH which was a MASSIVE SUCCESS WORLDWIDE, he wrote I Knew You Were Waiting For Me which he recorded with legendary QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN!! You need to do a reaction to that dude!! 😊
George Michael and Andrew Ridgley were just teenagers when they formed WHAM! in 1981. The duo had a number of hit records both in the UK and the US by the time Michael began his solo music career. Some WHAM! songs/music videos that you might want to react to, are “WHAM! Rap”, “Bad Boys”, “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”, “I’m Your Man”, “Freedom” (not to be confused with “Freedom ‘90”, which was a completely different song released by George Michael years later), and “Everything She Wants”.
Love your reation and love your honesty ❤ George Michael fantastic singer you picked a great singer song writer, legend!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!
George Michael came out as gay in 81. Everyone knew it. He didn't have to say it. He said in anterview once, " seems like everyone knew I was gay except the media." My favorite song He did is " Kissing a fool." You have to listen to it in the dark with a good cigar like your in a lounge. There is a guy on RUclips that walks into train stations, college classrooms and wherever breaking out with this sax riff .
He didn’t officially come out as gay until 96. ( I think)- it was after he was arrested for his bathroom playtime. He said he did it to force his outing, but I’m not sure that’s true or just an excuse. Even after coming out- years later, he still admitted to liking cruising even though he was dating Kenny Goss. He originally thought maybe he was bi. He was attracted to women and had sex with women. But when he fell in love with a man, he realized he could never feel like that towards a woman. So he stopped sleeping with them because he felt bad and AIDS was such a risk. It was still a decade or more before he actually came out. But the speculation came out of him not having a girlfriend for so long.
@wanderlustworldschooling543 , funny story. My brother in law heard that and said.." Man , I did not see that coming!" I responded, " You wouldn't see it if you got hit in the eye with it then."
This wonderful song style is similar to the songs of Sade ( Sha-DAY) who you MUST react to. She’s a Nigerian/Brit songstress who’s talented and sexy like George. “ Smooth Operator”. ❤Same era.
His previous group, WHAM! was huge and had big hits. So yeah, the record company knew what he was capable of bringing to the table.

George Michael is beautiful in every way ❤
George was 17 when he wrote careless whisper.
One of my favorite artists of all time ❤ *R.I.P. Gorgeous George* ❤ (((Never forgotten))) ❤
I lived in London in the 80's and when WHAM broke up all the girls threatened to jump off the roof, they were devastated.
RIP George

Rabbit hole is a must! Several duets as well. Aretha Franklin+ George Michael, Waiting For You, Mary J Blige + George Michael, As, Elton John+ George Michael, Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me. It's a little long, but well worth it. 1992 The Princess Trust Concert. Fantastic performance!
Also the duet with Stevie Wonder (Living for the City) which may be the best of the duets. His live performances of I can’t make you love me and spinning the wheel are spectacular and definitely worth a listen.

Lol before he was solo he belong to a duo group called Wham. I almost spit my tea out when u called him a ladies man. Yes we ladies loved him. He didn’t love us back the same way though. But no one knew that for years until he came out.
There's a spot on the wall (to the left of your head), I kept trying to clean it off my screen.
My mom had a life sized poster of him on the inside of our front door. 😆❤️✌️
He gave writing credits to Andrew also so he could also make the money from royalties etc for future years as a writer! Something along those lines!
Regardless of a ring on his finger I think I’m right in saying for years George had relationships possibly with both men & women, this song was originally released in 1984 a full 15 years before George made the decision to ‘come out’ having presumably struggled with his sexuality up to that point.
You've gotta check out, Kissing a Fool. It's like a Classic Jazz Ballad.... BEAUTIFUL! 🔥
I am not sure if you have heard it, but George singing "A Different Corner" is also SO good.
Não sei nem o que falar sobre ele. Só tenho vontade de chorar. Ele foi perfeito para mim😢😭🇧🇷
It was his first single as a solo artist - WHAM!, the group he was a part of before this, was a moneymaking act and George Michael knew what he was doing.
He was part of Wham before, during and after this single came out, and this track was on the Wham Make it Big LP
@@debm3041 OK he was still part of WHAM! when this came out. Thanks.
Wow- so amazing to watch people discover icons in real time. If there’s anything else from him you need to check out? His whole life story 😆
Alot of his music videos were played after 9pm. And they had viewer disclaimers. 😅 Any song from the Faith album are amazing. Father Figure, Faith & Freedom. Just to name a few favorites. Sidebar- Freedom has 2 versions, choose the video from the 90s. It's has the original Victoria Secret Lineup. The OGs. ❤

Careless Whisper was the number 1 song of the whole year back in 1985. (Madonna’s like a virgin was the 2nd.)
He was the reason Wham! was a successful band, they knew he was a star!
Now you have to check out his track 'Freedom' and watch the video. He never appears in the video, but the absolute cream of the crop of the golden age of 90s supermodels stand in and lipsync the song.
I’ve heard that he wrote this when he was 16yrs old
Wonderful, caring, generous George.....❤❤❤.....brilliant writer and singer ❤❤❤
Don't miss his duet with Aretha Franklin! "I Knew You Were Waiting"!!!!!
"Wham!" were so amazing. My best friend and I were crazy about all their music. There was a documentary on Wham on Netflix recently. Andrew and George were best friends from school and were incredibly close for many years. You should really check out their music and George's solo albums.
You SHOULD watch Outside which is his "coming out" song.
This was his first SOLO song 🤣
George Michael was exceptional.
You have to check out Kissing A Fool, Fastlove, and Spinning The Wheel.
Song suggestions:
Father Figure, I Knew You Were Waiting, Fast Love, Jesus to a Child, One More Try.
Mother's Pride is my favorite song by him. I get teary eyed to this day every time I hear it.
Please do his duet with Aretha Franklin, his duet with Elton John”don’t let the sun go down on me” and his Freddie Mercury tribute

Go back to a tv show called “Eli Stone”. It was a tongue in cheek show about a guy who starts hearing things in his head and one of the conduits is George Michael…appearing in his mirror at home. Also his duet with Aretha Franklin is PHENOMENAL…”I Knew You Were waiting”. Check it out!!!
More George please!!!! ❤
This is not his debut single. This is a group called "Wham" Ft. Geoge Michael's
Before GM released his first solo album FAITH which was a MASSIVE SUCCESS WORLDWIDE, he wrote I Knew You Were Waiting For Me which he recorded with legendary QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN!!
You need to do a reaction to that dude!! 😊
Tha cut!
George Michael and Andrew Ridgley were just teenagers when they formed WHAM! in 1981. The duo had a number of hit records both in the UK and the US by the time Michael began his solo music career. Some WHAM! songs/music videos that you might want to react to, are “WHAM! Rap”, “Bad Boys”, “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go”, “I’m Your Man”, “Freedom” (not to be confused with “Freedom ‘90”, which was a completely different song released by George Michael years later), and “Everything She Wants”.
Awesome reaction...ps I loved your soulful singing along at the end of the song.
George sang this with Smokey Robinson @ The Apollo! Great video
Best slow dance song ever!
Timeless George! 😍
He was part of a band called Wham before he went solo and they were awesome and to this day it’s my favorite song
He was in WHAM. 😄🇬🇧
Love your reation and love your honesty ❤ George Michael fantastic singer you picked a great singer song writer, legend!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!
George Michael came out as gay in 81. Everyone knew it. He didn't have to say it. He said in anterview once, " seems like everyone knew I was gay except the media." My favorite song He did is " Kissing a fool." You have to listen to it in the dark with a good cigar like your in a lounge. There is a guy on RUclips that walks into train stations, college classrooms and wherever breaking out with this sax riff .
He didn’t officially come out as gay until 96. ( I think)- it was after he was arrested for his bathroom playtime. He said he did it to force his outing, but I’m not sure that’s true or just an excuse. Even after coming out- years later, he still admitted to liking cruising even though he was dating Kenny Goss.
He originally thought maybe he was bi. He was attracted to women and had sex with women. But when he fell in love with a man, he realized he could never feel like that towards a woman. So he stopped sleeping with them because he felt bad and AIDS was such a risk. It was still a decade or more before he actually came out. But the speculation came out of him not having a girlfriend for so long.
@wanderlustworldschooling543 , funny story. My brother in law heard that and said.." Man , I did not see that coming!" I responded, " You wouldn't see it if you got hit in the eye with it then."
Truly an amazing voice..is cd patience will make you cry
This wonderful song style is similar to the songs of Sade ( Sha-DAY) who you MUST react to. She’s a Nigerian/Brit songstress who’s talented and sexy like George. “ Smooth Operator”. ❤Same era.
Both songs were Contemporary Jazz Pop songs.
when i was a little girl, this was one of my favorite songs
My guy and I used to dance to this when it first came out. Great heartbreak song....and I bet he thinks about me when he hears it today :)
Beautiful song still. RIP George Michael. Great music from him.
