Zsina Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Huh, I can't believe there isn't a thread already for them!!! I love George Michael soooooooo terribly much!!! With Wham, or without, he is awesome. His voice.... I'm a huge fan! I'm very often listenning to him while I'm drawing. His For Loving / For Living best of CDs..omg....those are AMAZING. I love the way how he can touch my heart in one song, while in the next my feet....just like our Meeks.... Well, that's what I think, and I hope I'm not alone, George Michael is a real legend for me, amazing musician. Wham -Wake me up before you go go (the original is a duet with Paul Mc'Cartney...) And more and more.....like Freedom (both the Wham and GM versions) Faith, Freek, Kissing a fool, I want your sex, Jesus to a child.......etc. I LOVE HIM!

suzie Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 You like George Michael....... ...I have tons to write on this topic just not at the moment.... Anyway, some thoughts on your post: They Won't Go When I Go is a Stevie Wonder cover and first appeared on GM's 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice. (BTW, Stevie Wonder sang this song ant MJ's funeral) Heal the Pain - also originally on Listen Without Prejudice and he wrote it as a tribute to the Beatles (meaning the sound /songwriting style) but Paul McCartney did not feature on it at all originally. perhaps more to follow later...

Ah, I didn't know he wrote is as a tribute to the Beatles! I know TWGWIG is a SW cover, I just love the way he sings it...and Paul is on a newer version then? I always thought the duet was first and then GM alone. Ha...by the way...do we have a beatles thread already? My number ones are them, I am currently reading the massive Biography by Bob Spitz....ahh...I shall look around to check if they have a thread or not... And please post more of GM things here when you ahve some time, I'm dying to know more, glad you're a fan too! (I guess you are haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplegrape Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I LOVE George Michael. Mind you I'm not the kind of fan who own many/any albums but I do love listening to him whenever I discover a song or any of the songs I already know. And I think he's quite pretty, well, used to be. Now he's handsome though Will come back to say more later. got to go for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Bump! I am soooo glad Mika sang Faith last night, though I must say my favourite live version is still from the big daddy of pop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZOsv5Ht_s0&feature=related I do hope, however, that Mika will work on this song a bit and sing it on the next tour as I want to sing along to it next year and it's unlikely I'll ever go to a GM gig again...

Valmont69 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Only two pages for George? He's a little bit jealous, his cd forgotten in a "different corner"', replaced by a couple of colourful ones...no "faith" in ancient fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 ok, I feel I need to post something positive now after my rant 1.5 years ago on this thread... As some of you might have heard, he will release the cover of True Faith (originally New Order) for Comic Relief 2011 and he is currently doing some quite a few interviews in the UK. I checked his forum and YT but unlike Mika fans, his active fans do not seem to be so keen to upload stuff, so I created 2 mp3 files of the interview he gave to Chris Evans this week. Both parts include the new song / cover version as well. Here is the first one in 2 parts in GM int with Chris Evans BBCRadio2_070311 http://www.sendspace.com/file/1ler40 GM int with Chris Evans BBCRadio2_080311 http://www.sendspace.com/file/dix7mp .. and apparently he is working on an album and will tour but I'll only believe it when I see it () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 He's certainly doing a lot of promotion at the moment and has discovered Twitter I think it is a pity he went off the rails as he had one of the best voices in pop. Let's hope he can recover a little of the old magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macboll Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 When I was a teenager, I loved Wham and George Michael! I used to play 'I want your sex' loud just to make my dad angry (I was a pest sometimes). Mika's song 'Touches You' made me think instantly of George Michael. I hope GM will make a cover of it some day, or that Mika and him will sing it together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
