@@CD-yr8twyes, good point. As successful as he was for the 80’s, he was still underrated. Growing up in the 80’s, I liked him and all, but kind of took him for granted. Now revisiting his work, it’s just so jaw-dropping impressive. ❤
One of my friends lived across the street from George Michael in Beverly Hills. He told me George was one of the kindest, nicest people he ever met - very down to earth despite being such a massive star. They would play chess and discuss the world. RIP George you are still loved by so many and your talent lives on.
Who else is here tonight because this gorgeous man with a voice smoother than silk received over a million votes for the R&R Hall of Fame? RIP George, congratulations
70 yrs old and he Still makes me crazzzzzzyyyy in an Oh So Good Way!!! GM and Freddie Mercury, Legends of their kind won’t be seen again in a long, loooonnnngggg time!
I don't care what his sexual orientation was, this guy could entertain his fans!!! I am proud to say I has been a fan since he was the other half of WHAM.
I could tell when wham wore those Choose Life shirts that George seemed gay but it wasn't an issue to me. I never just had to know what his preference was. All I knew was that I loved him and I always have loved him. Such a sweet loving man.🔥💕💋
You're not on a limb baby you're right on. He was the hottest, the sweetest, the greatest voice I've ever heard and the most generous man. I love George🔥💕💋
I bought his greatest hits double CD! Loved him. Fine, could dance, awesome voice! I hear he was very generous and helped MANY folks anonymously. Such a loss!
Yeah, and songwriting and musicality came very easily to him. Huge talent - bigger than he himself initially realized. Listen Without Prejudice was a stunning album...all his own original work...
Underrated how? I remember this song back in the day. The DJs and (the old) MTV couldn't get enough of this dude. They had this song (and the video) in heavy rotation for a long time. It was a big, big #1 hit for him. The whole album was a monster hit. There were several other #1 songs from it as well.
So lucky to have seen cover to cover tour in '91 as well as 25 live in '08. BTW yog swears like a trucker on stage and drops a few f-bombs in his lyrics to make a point!
@@FallacyAsPraxis It hasn’t really stayed in the airplay rotation in the years since. In the past 5 years, I’ve heard it maybe only once on an oldies station.

Trilby Hat, Crucifix Earring, Designer Stubble, Black Suspender Braces and some funky groovy dancing... Only one man in the history of the World could pull that off with aplomb. ⭐GEORGE MICHAEL ⭐
Love the Earring, Designer Stubble, Black Suspenser Braces and his funky groovy dancing I like that and he’s running on stage he’s full of energy do your thing George Michael I love you 😘❤💕
This dude was the total package - looks, talent, songwriting ability, fashion sense. He came out of the box fully assembled and ready for stardom. Regrettable that he couldn't keep his personal demons in check.
Never got enough air because there were so many hits on that same album that it was probably impossible to make justice of all the songs. One of the best ever, you'll never be forgotten. The sound of my generation.
Best looking man in the history of man. Best male voice ever, in my opinion. I love his spirit, his mind, his heart, his manners & mannerisms, his sense of humor & his TALENT. George's dancing ability, stage presence & showmanship is UNDENIABLE. This is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES. I know they're exploiting him w/ the backside shots but I admit~ I LOVE IT. ;)
Me too but i dont think this was filmed there. Rosemont horizon in Rosemont. Front row back stage. The concert was amazing he was hotter than anything. Damn i need to stop. But anyways i dont think he was filmed there.
After all these years, still one of the best voices ever. And this song: One of the best songs to which to dance one's ass off! Loved dancing to this in Minneapolis at the 90s on the off-night Mondays, when I could request or even bring my CDs and the great DJ would play this and other great 80s Brit Pop. Long live George. Love the hat!
@@Pulse87dotca There are three primary reasons straight women peruse gay men. First: Gay men are non-threatening/safe. Second: Gay males commonly have finer tastes in clothes/shoes/interior decor/food-- and just about everything else-- over the abilities of most females. Third, and most intriguing: Gay males present a sexual challenge for straight females (especially females who perceive themselves as being "ALL THAT AND A BAG OF VEGAN BBQ CHIPS." These are the females who seem to be under some misguided and delusional impression that they can turn gay guys straight with their "special, one-of-kind" vaginae.
@@legacy4179 Hmm, I guess my initial comment pointing out to the O/P that G.M. is gay was so offensive that someone reported it and YT removed it. . . . speech police are at it again. Your 3rd reason makes a lot of sense, as there are women who will instantly go for the "troubled bad boy" with the aim to "fix him", but they usually end up going through a series of unhappy relationships with a long string of "bad boys" who simply don't want to be "fixed".
Congratulations to the late, great George Michael. Later on this year, he's getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for 2023!!! If George was still here, he would be happy indeed. RIP George and congrats.
This guy was the pure essence and genius of the half and late 80’s. His talent, stamina and masculine sex appeal are incomparable. He came back to the Olympus with the Gods where he belongs.
I remember an old classmate who had HUGE crush on him😊 So huge she said she would marry him one day..wore his shirts everyday😊 I'm sure she was devastated when found out his true preference..but I'm sure that not really matter to her..I'm sure she was even more devastated when he pass away on Christmas day..He was such an icon when he broke his singles in the music scene back then..such an incredible day to be alive back then..frozen in my mind forever
@@kristinazubic9669 could be , but George was better known for his own dance moves , his own charisma , his own dressing sense , his own voice, his generosity, it’s a huge list you see but thanks for bringing up name of another artist
Just picture him taking it from a giant bear of a man while recording this song. I always think that helps tamper feelings like yours pretty quickly so you can regain self control and a sense of reality. 😉 You’re welcome! 😉
Total charismatic original artist. I loved George's energy and humble zest for life. He couldn't understand why people were critical of him because they are so demanding of celebrities. It was absolutely nobody's business what George did in his personal life. He was a master performer and entertainer.God bless you George ... Sing you your beautiful songs in heaven.peace and love you.❤
I agree but must add that George wasn’t honest about who he was from the start (1981). He portrayed himself as a straight man / sex symbol until he was busted for soliciting sex in a public bathroom (1998). As a fan, it didn’t feel good to be lied to for nearly two decades; he brought a lot of the critiques upon himself because of it. I love his music and videos; he absolutely deserves the Hall of Fame; just wish he hadn’t been deceptive to the people who made him famous by buying his albums and image.
I don't care that he was gay. He also had experience with women. Songs written just for them. He was so sexy, talented, charismatic, charming, educated, eloquent, intelligent...
Good dancing, good man, good performance, good music, good quality of entertainment. Love a lot of George Michael music. Tragic young ending. RIP George. Missed by many people.
Simply the BEST!! Faith World Tour, Tacoma Dome 1988 concert was just AWESOME!! Exactly as pictured in this video, packed with people, rocking, dancing, going crazy!! He danced from one end of the stage to other, constantly keeping the audience entertained!! A time I will never forget!! The BEST concert I ever went to!! I flew from Hawaii just to see that concert!!!
He held his own with singers like Aretha Franklin and they accepted him because he was a true artist not just a pretty pop singer. Will miss the man greatly.
And your wrong wicked devil he had 3 songs with Mary J blige, Aretha franklin and Whitney Houston your 1 number off check yourself before u wreck yourself Satan lol..
He was most definitely Pretty beautiful even but his talent outshines everything. Wrote. Sang.and Produced his own music. Not many artists did that besides GM and Prince. George was the Goat.
He's gorgeous physically and spiritually. He once said he can't give enough respect to parents who lost children. As a mother who lost her young song, this cemented my position as a huge HUGE fan and admirer. Siempre. He is with God and his works live on.
The 80's artists were so Amazing. George Michael wrote the whole album by himself and I think he played most of the instruments also. This is unheard of today.
Too right! I remember when I learned that (back in '88), that he was like another Prince in that aspect: write, produce, play--do the whole album thing himself! A most well-deserved Album of the Year winner!
This song is smokin; as is George! I loved his dancing, singing, he was gorgeous......perfect facial hair, and beautiful hair. This guy had it all. I LOVE this song!
That was the time when he conquered the world as a solo artist. Gorgeous and sexy, heavenly voice, perfect dancer, an exceptional talent in writing and producing his own songs. He was talented enough to obtain absolute fame - and then philosophical enough to turn his back on it. This is the amazing George.
This Superstar just leaves you Breathless!!!!!!!Just the Brightest Meteor passing by us!!!!We get to bask in his glow!!!!! I'm so sorry he's gone way too soon and his sister 3 years later probably from heartbreak as I think they were very close!!!!! He left all of us an Epic Legacy!!!!!
Thanks for the compliment. The relationship with The Brits & Americans in terms of Collaborating still exists. In fact did you know that Choreographer Fatima Robinson who worked on Dreamgirls (Film Version) not to mention The Live Performance of The Wiz (National Broadcasting Company) also worked with Cheryl Tweedy, former Member Of Girls Aloud who did the Choreography for her Solo Concert
Telling you.. as a school aged girl seeing George Michael in this video with that hat and suspenders..the word obsessed comes to mind.So much from my childhood id gone.RIP George Michael.
Do you remember Dana Carvey portraying him for an SNL skit when the "Faith" album came out? So incredibly hilarious talking about GM's butt and that no one could ignore or deny it! Good lord this man still makes me quiver.
***** I'm so inclined to agree - there was definitely some interesting evolution in popular music from the 80s through the 90s and even into the early-mid 2000s with some innovative musicians and technology - however, I think for the better part of a decade now, there hasn't been much new that is really noteworthy at all. I'm not sure if it's "It's all been done" syndrome or "everybody with a laptop"...and a lack of investment by the industry..
+David G I'm going to add to this scenario since I used to be in the Music Industry back in the early 1990's when I was in my early 20's. In my experiences and opinion, I think the record labels today do not take the chances that they did back in the 1970's, 1980's, and on into the very early 2000's. I feel that the 1980's was the revolution of the music industry and definitely the music culture of those days changed as each year went by. Listen to a Pop song of let's say - 1983, and then listen to this Pop song of 1988. There is a huge evolutionary (or revolutionary; whichever fits the best) difference in the instrumentation, the charting, the melodies, and the daring lyrics used, especially in some of the iconic artists such as George Michael, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Boy George, etc. The pivotal axis of the history of music now revolves around this particular decade (1980's). We live it, breathe it, repeat it (if all possible), and it molds a lot of lives in so many different aspects. That's my two cents worth. :-)
***** So much of that evolution over those years, specifically, that you describe has so much to do with technological evolution too.... the birth of digial and PCM sample-based synthesis (and samplers _themselves_ hence NWA and hip-hop itself during that same timeframe...) vs the analog synthesizers used from the days of Pink Floyd and the Doors in through the New Wave of the early 80s... When I bought one of those modules above I had a blast finding the specific drums and sounds used on those records specifically.. Like Milli Vanillis "Girl you know it's true" is Korg's preset "Orchestra Hits"... As far as I'm aware, Kurzweil was the first in this technology development though with his development of the PCM synthesis board in collaboration with Stevie Wonder and appearing in the video "Part Time Lover" 1984/5(??).. Chaka Khan's "I feel for you" . --. wow, was that a breakthrough in it's day!! Now, all of the interesting sonic innovation is on the front of sequencing computer processing effects themsleves from the sounds of Skrillex to the atmospheric super ducking/pump-compression of Purity Ring...
David G The technology is a major key in the music evolution. I think, too, that too many artists rely on computers to enhance their sound, and quality, along with vocals, etc. I do think, though, that the only music these days that has a slight evolutionary sound is underground Electronic Music (Bear In Heaven, Animal Collective, Goldfrapp, Depeche Mode, etc).
In a retrospective interview about the album in 2010, Michael noted that the song was inspired by a friend of his dealing with drug and alcohol addiction but he didn't know how to help her. He used the term monkey to refer to her addiction. He asked his friend: Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
To dance like this in his live shows and still sing Pitch Perfect is not at all easy to do. One of the many things George could do that others could never which made him such a standout performer.
It's normal for performers who dance throughout the whole show to lip sync... sometimes they even record looser "live" versions of their songs so it's not so obvious.
My musical genius... George didn't needed anybody on stage only himself..... greatest Singer... songwriter performer til this day ...whit the most beautiful voice.....no one til this day gomes even close to him.....miss him ❤️🙏 heaven stole him way to early 🙏❤️
still rocks!!
No one will ever replace him, he was just amazing.

George Michael wrote all of his songs... Rare in today’s world.
Wow, I didn't know that. That's awesome, he's my music idol. I'm happy all day, thanks😁.
This is Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis on this as well.
Wrote, Arranged and Produced his music. He defined his Generation. Him, Prince and David Bowie, True Artists.
Yeah, and songwriting and musicality came very easily to him. Huge talent - bigger than he himself initially realized. Listen Without Prejudice was a stunning album...all his own original work...
He didn't write ALL "his" songs (the songs recorded for his solo albums) and he didn't produce all of them on his own
Like Stevie Wonder, George Michael’s music ages like fine wine.
This a fucking underrated song. And I love George

He was like the Briton's Michael Jackson.
No, he owned the audience!
He owned everything
It was the most real performances I have ever seen. He felt it.
This guy wouldn't be able to write a bad song if his life depended on it.
I TOTALLY AGREE !!!!!!!!
+GM fan forever Me too!
Well said! Brilliant singer & song-writer. Rest in Peace George Michael. You are so missed!
That was a funny response and i agree. Even though the song was written in despair of a record company not able to let him go and do his thing.
Tonio Miklo Well said 👍🏿😄
He held his own with singers like Aretha Franklin and they accepted him because he was a true artist not just a pretty pop singer. Will miss the man greatly.
He liked singing with black women I notice.
And your wrong wicked devil he had 3 songs with Mary J blige, Aretha franklin and Whitney Houston your 1 number off check yourself before u wreck yourself Satan lol..
Bye Lucifer enjoy hell lol!!!! ur a reprobate, waste of time u will enjoy hell with ur buddy George Michael...
He was most definitely Pretty beautiful even but his talent outshines everything. Wrote. Sang.and Produced his own music. Not many artists did that besides GM and Prince. George was the Goat.
ArseneWenger I love him and will miss him forever and this is a great song and video!!!
Man it's crazy when you grow up and realize what these songs are about.
Such an underrated song. I've always thought it was one of his best.
That album was fantastic.
I like this version better than the album version
it wasn't underrated at all. One of his biggest and top 5 of mine. Missed everyday George. RIP
I-Love-Everything79 exactly this is what made me by the Album
@@jorgearias3940 I actually discovered it from a video that shows billboard's #1s hits from the 80s
George was the only guy that could dress like an Amish farmer and still look sexy (Prince could have pulled it off too though)
It actually reminds me of Madonna's look in her official video for the Who's That Girl track.
👍
Just the music it gets better everytime u listen to it?
Back when he was in his (very) brief Amishexual phase complete with a lil butter churnin dance
@@ogsegasteve9430 I see what you did there! LOL! Yes, he does look very Amish here minus the earring and the extra belt.
He's gorgeous physically and spiritually. He once said he can't give enough respect to parents who lost children. As a mother who lost her young song, this cemented my position as a huge HUGE fan and admirer. Siempre. He is with God and his works live on.
He gave people that he loved writing credits on his songs so that they would be set financially.That shows how thoughtful and generous he was.
George was one of the most generous people he donated over 20 million dollars to charity and the proceeds from Last Christmas go for charity
The 80's artists were so Amazing. George Michael wrote the whole album by himself and I think he played most of the instruments also. This is unheard of today.
Charles Mendias....So true ! George was all around talented...the real deal.
@Lawrence Rodriguez Not to mention that they don't have George's tremendous all around talent. GM was on a whole other level !
George wrote and sang the songs, but he also arranged the music and produced his albums and the videos.Amazing talent.
Too right! I remember when I learned that (back in '88), that he was like another Prince in that aspect: write, produce, play--do the whole album thing himself! A most well-deserved Album of the Year winner!
Facts.
This song is smokin; as is George! I loved his dancing, singing, he was gorgeous......perfect facial hair, and beautiful hair. This guy had it all. I LOVE this song!
Perfection!!!
This is the definition of being cool on stage... nobody like George ever
That was the time when he conquered the world as a solo artist. Gorgeous and sexy, heavenly voice, perfect dancer, an exceptional talent in writing and producing his own songs.
He was talented enough to obtain absolute fame - and then philosophical enough to turn his back on it.
This is the amazing George.
I love this man with all my heart.
Me too!!!!!
Me too
r.I.p george Michael he was awesome Singer and sexy
George Michael Forever!!
Erin de la musique
This was EPIC back in the day. Way before its time. Dance on, good man. Welcome immortality.
This Superstar just leaves you Breathless!!!!!!!Just the Brightest Meteor passing by us!!!!We get to bask in his glow!!!!! I'm so sorry he's gone way too soon and his sister 3 years later probably from heartbreak as I think they were very close!!!!! He left all of us an Epic Legacy!!!!!
This song has everything that makes a great George Michael song: slamming groovy bass line, sky-high vocals, and George looking fine af.
Did you know he worked with James "Jimmy Jam" Harris and Terry Lewis who also worked with The Human League and Janet Jackson.
True
laminage, that's very interesting regarding whom George collaborated with.
Thanks for the compliment. The relationship with The Brits & Americans in terms of Collaborating still exists. In fact did you know that Choreographer Fatima Robinson who worked on Dreamgirls (Film Version) not to mention The Live Performance of The Wiz (National Broadcasting Company) also worked with Cheryl Tweedy, former Member Of Girls Aloud who did the Choreography for her Solo Concert
He's fine with a great presonally
A VERY well deserved #1 on Billboard Hot 100 in August 1988.
This remix is very good. Better than the album version.
Telling you.. as a school aged girl seeing George Michael in this video with that hat and suspenders..the word obsessed comes to mind.So much from my childhood id gone.RIP George Michael.
Joeann Chaney agreed...
Every single girl in my junior high school and high school wanted this guy BADLY. It was not even funny.
I’d rush home from school with my best friend so we could watch this video on the countdown.
Do you remember Dana Carvey portraying him for an SNL skit when the "Faith" album came out?
So incredibly hilarious talking about GM's butt and that no one could ignore or deny it! Good lord this man still makes me quiver.
Super awesome 😎
miss you Georgie !
A music genius! That voice, the way he danced, and he was so handsome!
George Michael has always been ahead of his time and his beats still have me dancing in the garage as we speak
George Michael wrote phenomenal songs..and yah he isssss FINE
One of the best songs of all time about addiction, and so underrated.
He had it all..stunning looks.. beautiful body, angel voice, great dancer, piano player..I can't believe he's gone.
This was THE JAM back in the day!!! Though dated in sound, it STILL kicks... It's not hard to see why this was such a hit.
***** I'm so inclined to agree - there was definitely some interesting evolution in popular music from the 80s through the 90s and even into the early-mid 2000s with some innovative musicians and technology - however, I think for the better part of a decade now, there hasn't been much new that is really noteworthy at all.
I'm not sure if it's "It's all been done" syndrome or "everybody with a laptop"...and a lack of investment by the industry..
+David G You are absolutely right - "It's all been done" well said.
+David G I'm going to add to this scenario since I used to be in the Music Industry back in the early 1990's when I was in my early 20's. In my experiences and opinion, I think the record labels today do not take the chances that they did back in the 1970's, 1980's, and on into the very early 2000's.
I feel that the 1980's was the revolution of the music industry and definitely the music culture of those days changed as each year went by. Listen to a Pop song of let's say - 1983, and then listen to this Pop song of 1988. There is a huge evolutionary (or revolutionary; whichever fits the best) difference in the instrumentation, the charting, the melodies, and the daring lyrics used, especially in some of the iconic artists such as George Michael, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Boy George, etc.
The pivotal axis of the history of music now revolves around this particular decade (1980's). We live it, breathe it, repeat it (if all possible), and it molds a lot of lives in so many different aspects.
That's my two cents worth. :-)
***** So much of that evolution over those years, specifically, that you describe has so much to do with technological evolution too.... the birth of digial and PCM sample-based synthesis (and samplers _themselves_ hence NWA and hip-hop itself during that same timeframe...) vs the analog synthesizers used from the days of Pink Floyd and the Doors in through the New Wave of the early 80s...
When I bought one of those modules above I had a blast finding the specific drums and sounds used on those records specifically..
Like Milli Vanillis "Girl you know it's true" is Korg's preset "Orchestra Hits"...
As far as I'm aware, Kurzweil was the first in this technology development though with his development of the PCM synthesis board in collaboration with Stevie Wonder and appearing in the video "Part Time Lover" 1984/5(??).. Chaka Khan's "I feel for you" . --. wow, was that a breakthrough in it's day!!
Now, all of the interesting sonic innovation is on the front of sequencing computer processing effects themsleves from the sounds of Skrillex to the atmospheric super ducking/pump-compression of Purity Ring...
David G The technology is a major key in the music evolution. I think, too, that too many artists rely on computers to enhance their sound, and quality, along with vocals, etc.
I do think, though, that the only music these days that has a slight evolutionary sound is underground Electronic Music (Bear In Heaven, Animal Collective, Goldfrapp, Depeche Mode, etc).
His music and his spirit will always live on.
The world is not as bright without him. damn he is missed!
Born for stardom. He set a precedent for others to follow but never duplicated. He got better with age. True artist. Miss him so.
Very manly, stylish, and a bit flamboyant. Truly a legend. RIP George Michael
In a retrospective interview about the album in 2010, Michael noted that the song was inspired by a friend of his dealing with drug and alcohol addiction but he didn't know how to help her. He used the term monkey to refer to her addiction. He asked his friend: Do you love the monkey or do you love me?
The monkey.
He was so hypnotic! What a flawless man 😍Still loving you George!!
Mich Mel i miss him so much cant explain it
I feel the same I can sum him up in one word flawless such a awesome voice full of heart and soul
To dance like this in his live shows and still sing Pitch Perfect is not at all easy to do. One of the many things George could do that others could never which made him such a standout performer.
It's normal for performers who dance throughout the whole show to lip sync... sometimes they even record looser "live" versions of their songs so it's not so obvious.
perfection. absolutely flawless ;)
Like no other ;)
Rest in peace, George, Michael, and the bass player that plays for George Michael
George Michael one of the greatest artists keep rocking dude
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Yeah. May he R.I.P. :(
my first single tape of his
He will never die.
A god.
Probably one of his best songs EVER ❤️ and criminally underrated !
An absolute belter of a song with a strong meaningful message brillantly conveyed (monkey = drug addiction)
@@deceiver444 definitely!
Agreed!
Underrated in what way? It was a number hit single.
@@aaronREfan I meant it because of the meaning behind the song , ofc it was a very successful track 🙏
In my dreams George came to me in a dream looking like this time. He was so beautiful. Such a talent.
that earring with the cross was everything! fashion icon!
Vee Orange and beard stubble too ...
Wow u know he died girl 😿😿😿😿🙀🙀🙀🙀😿😿😿😿
Elton John wore the same. was it a part of gay culture?
So so much better then now, 80s and 90s are the golden era of music. RIP George
The 60's and 70's are also part of the golden era of music as well!!
My musical genius... George didn't needed anybody on stage only himself..... greatest Singer... songwriter performer til this day ...whit the most beautiful voice.....no one til this day gomes even close to him.....miss him ❤️🙏 heaven stole him way to early 🙏❤️
The entire world lost some major talent , all the songs we're never going to hear... George please come back soon
