i saw him in a recent interview where he was asked if he ever got tired of doing this song....he said "no" because it had bought him six houses...hahaha...great answer!
Conner Jones I actually find him very beautiful in a different way. Like when you watch his music videos all I get is beautiful nostalgia of my younger years as a teen.
Happened to me with a couple of girls (ninphomaniacs really very much attracted by me, not joking ahahah). Peoples knew we was hooked up just looking at us nearby each other for the way they looked at me. Not a good idea if you fond your privacy. A hahaha I was mad for that. Because I didn't want these stories arrive to the other peoples. My business. But they was uncontrollable... Their looking at me wasnt horny, not when there was other peoples, was just like in the video. That was enough to make peoples say we was hooked up. And it was true...
He smiles like a teacher who is genuinely psyched that his pupil learned how to play the guitar properly, and who wants to encourage him with every chord he plays.
To write a song like Karma Chameleon and be able to sing it like that, makes him a legend in my opinion!! The song is great because its a very fun song however its about bad experiences! When I'm upset I listen to Karma Chameleon because it relates a lot too my life!!
EXACTLY! Even those who don’t like the KC song probably would feel different if it was acoustic like this. Most of the time, acoustic versions are superior
Nah the record is way better its way more work you can hear so many sounds that make it a hit this acoustic is nice but it's not comparable at all lmao
Thirty-five years later, and neither the song nor the man have lost any of their magic. You go on shining, sparkling, singing and smiling George, for many, many more years to come. We love you, you know that.
I've been a fan of Boy George since in the early 80's. Beautiful man with a beautiful voice and an awesome personality. Every time i hear his songs it takes back to my teenage years. Thank you Boy George.
i like the embellishments he gives to this live acoustic performance. it is very different from the regular track and you can hear george is much more comfortable singing it this way, his way. my favorite part is when he says "our love is stronger" cus in the original version he just says strong
Same here - Love the embellishments!....so much that when I sing this on open mic's....I use stronger instead of strong, and I also copy his 'without conviction' and 'an addiction' from this version.....makes the song even more amazing, and more heartfelt.
Que hermosa sonrisa tiene Boy George me encanta 😍😍 y lo que yo hubiera dado por ser yo la que tocará la guitarra 😭😭 que suerte tuvo el chico que tocó la guitarra junto a Boy George.
Nessa época, artistas eram talentosos de verdade.Não precisavam de truques pea fazer sucesso.Uma voz dessa e um talento desse jamais se encontrará nesses artistas atuais.
His level to direct his talent is so broad and panoramic that you need no introduction to what he is presently doing is so admirable in an artistic sense.
En general por este tema es que este tipo de orientaciones tienden a ser objeto de parodia... en general hay una corriente dentro de la industria cinematográfica y demás que te obligan a aceptar este tipo de orientaciones de manera injustificada. Uno no aprecia a alguien por ser gay, uno aprecia a alguien y después viene el tema si es gay o no.
Graham Summerscales: I'm an 80's kid; this has been my Sylvester song since I was nine yrs old. And while I won't sugarcoat the nastier things of the past, yup, the eighties were pretty amazing.
Didn't you think to yourself "am I really gonna be that guy" when you typed your comment lmao. His voice is nothing special, I don't think he is a good example of talent when his voice is very soft and flat here and there's a few notes that he couldn't hit. Not trying to take anything away from him I just hate when people leave stupid comments like yours.
Boy George 1980s that’s the guitarist from the band, they were in a relationship even though he was supposed to be straight and has a wife and kids now. Not that it matters just a fun fact.
@@theshed3641 LOL! That is not the guitarist from Culture Club! The man playing the guitar is Bart Peeters! He is a famous Flemish singer-songwriter. He was still very young here, just a beginning TV presenter.
Esta si es una voz no como las mamadas de ahora edit: ya han pasado 2 años y es el comentario con mas likes he tenido gracias a todos por haber dado sus sinceras opiniones espero que se encuentren bien en sus casas cuidence
Dude was blessed with a beautiful voice! Proof is when he flew literally into “ Do they know it’s Christmas “ 🎵 and was the best singer in a room of Super Stars of the era 🎵!!
This was one of the first 45 records I ever owned back in the early 80s. I remember locking my bedroom door so nobody could see me lip-syncing it in the mirror.
This makes me freaken cry. It brings me back when I was 5 yrs old. We made fun of him and to realize the impact... I'm floored today.. I love u so much boy George

Stop! Wait, wait, wait... what kind of music is this? NO autotune? No morning voice-filters?! WTF?! 😀 Jokes aside, I loved this. This is pure, true music.
@@tc1817 During the 80s you could easily tell who/what the artist (it) was. Nowadays, everything sound so simular that the artists them self has to mention their own names in their own songs, just to help us identify and distiguise them from every other aout tune and smurf voiced tune. =)
i saw him in a recent interview where he was asked if he ever got tired of doing this song....he said "no" because it had bought him six houses...hahaha...great answer!
Yah. He said it on Wendy Williams too
Bruh😂😂
Damn six houses! I don’t even have 1! 😢🤧😂
Tubes like this are something we never get tired of ...!
You really have to f*ck right and wrong out the window when it comes to pop music!
Boy George is blessed with an amazing voice.
Especially in do you really want to hurt me, his voice is awesome
Ikr! He can still sing now but I prefer 80s/90s BG
But I guess he could really sing too. Technique and a lot of practice...
Common misconception. The voice doesn't matter, it's all technique.
Like warm butter.
His joy of singing is very palpable here. Love this acoustic performance!
One of the most sweetets voice
Boy George is so beautiful and has such an astounding voice!!

What an incredibly gorgeous voice.. I wish he had done a full acoustic version of this.. This is so incredibly beautiful.. His voice really shines..
Boy George needs to hang around for long time..we losing many good legends from the 80's
May of 2024 & he's very much with us and touring the US this summer. Go see him ‼️ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
He seems like he's genuinely happy to make music. Seeing this just makes me happy.
happy and gay :)
I want someone to look at me how Boy looks at the guitarist
he was looking at a Peter is why ... Bart Peters
Can't blame him. The guitarist is adorable
ARZEE yasss SAME 😂
@@manthony225 but George is even more adorable ♥️

This song will forever be a classic
looks like they had a lot of joy be singing this, and so do we have, by hearing them. thank you for the music!
I never thought that I would say this 37 years later. Boy George was actually very talented.
He's not dead yet
We knew it back then.
Lucky 80s kids
Finally
Right with today's music we were blessed with all kinds of hits through the 80's
That voice, hes not even trying… thats talent
Back when you had to be able sing well with out a studio
before all the fake robot shit
I miss it
Rightt
Yeah, when it was harder to sing and express what you wanted to say.
Back when you had to be able to SING in general
he oozes joy when he sings! like a little sunshine :3
behawiorystka98 He did transfer his personality in his performances
Beautiful comment
This is like when you find a TH-cam cover that's as good as the original, except here it's the actual artist. Such a beautiful performance.
So true!
No auto tune required ...
True musical talent
No photoshop or fillers required either🥰
Thirty-five years later, and neither the song nor the man have lost any of their magic. You go on shining, sparkling, singing and smiling George, for many, many more years to come. We love you, you know that.
I prefer young George but he still rocks today! Lol
Remember when he held that guy as a sex slave for a few days and forced him to do heroin and raped him several times?
@@untilitookanarrow yes that was a sad time for George. But I’m glad he owned up to his actions and moved on. Hopefully everyone else can too
Just a gorgeous beautiful natural voice, no autotune or backing track or vocals, just his voice, and whether it's 1983 or 2023 it still makes me happy
I've been a fan of Boy George since in the early 80's. Beautiful man with a beautiful voice and an awesome personality. Every time i hear his songs it takes back to my teenage years. Thank you Boy George.

Juli 123 dont forget the 60’s
I think the same
This is what TH-cam was made for, love this stripped down acoustic version.
You know how strong a song is when you play it stripped down and acoustic like this. Lovely!

Lol, you gotta point there.😊
no that wasn't normal at all.........
It was worse dawg
Nah
@@JoshSingleTon2 no way its worse now #covid
He’s so adorable
Hes so cute♥️
Wat een eer voor Bart Peeters om Boy George op gitaar te mogen begeleiden. I love it !!
that beautiful smile, that laugh, and that voice...lord help me i cannot imagine a man could ever be more perfect than that
Ikr! His eyes and smile melt me
Yes, he is a magic human Being!
Haha omg, you couldn't say it better
He's everything, really
He's the most beautiful in many ways person ever❤🥺
We need that sweetness in the nowadays' songs.
Thanks B. George.
Boy George has always been a good artist. I also like that you pick it from the Flemish television. Best performance ever!

This was when Boy George was able to sing with very beautiful highs... such a beautiful voice!
Ysh i miss his 80s/90s vocals
Cuando lo que predomina es el talento y no la orientación sexual....Boy George un ícono musical de todos los tiempos.
Confirmo, aveces el talento que poseían hacían a la gente ignorar esa parte de su vida como Freddy Mercury o Prince.
Amén
o, alternativamente, cuando las luminarias rechazan la función que se les hizo para dar

Cuál es la orientación sexual de este artista? Según yo era un chico heterosexual pero con vestimentas algo exóticas (?
I love this version of this music! Boy George's voice is so nice!
Beautiful voice, beautiful heart, beautiful soul!
Oh... I wanna go backto 80s again ! Im sick of 2020 😢
Same I wasn't even born then hahaha
And this man doesn't get older. You look at him back in 1983 and now, he doesn't change...
bloody hell I feel old ,I was 17 in 1983 ,so living in Britain this was my era,I fucking loved it ,I was lucky to live the whole 80s scene

Só no gogó
Honestly always loved him and this song! Legit like this seems like a good human being!
There is a reason on why he actually was famous back then, cuz he really had talent.
IMO there's nothing better than an acoustic guitar and a singer regardless of the genre.

100X better than most music today 😌👍💞
Fofíssimo, não podia envelhecer, adoro esse cantor, uma gracinha. 🤩
For everyone curious, the guitarist is called Bart Peeters. He's a Belgian singer/musician and journalist.
Not he's not. He is Sean Penn when he was young.
this is the most important thing i ever seen in my whole life i swear he is the cutest my heart hurts
what is that profile picture ?

Cuando los artistas sonaban realmente hermoso, con solo su voz y una guitarra acustica... Q hermoso, se le ve con tanta luz a este artista
Boy George showed you can ignore gender stereotypes and be yourself without having the need to change genders.
You’re so close to being right. You got the right idea and everything, just gotta put the pieces together.
@@mileshewitt7515 Ditto. Or did you think George was trans?
I think they meant that you didn’t need to say that transgenderism was unnecessary in a sort of sense.
Amazing and beautiful arranging !
The joy he emits!!!!!! Thank you Boy George!
back in the days where they could REALLY sing. well done!!!
Boy George was So charming and charismatic…such a fantastic musician with so much talent…soul & swing…
wow, what a beautiful voice!
His cute dancing makes the whole video for me
I am a rocker but I have come to appreciate really talent. Boy George like in the 80s musicians has talent. RIP Boy George
Stop smoking and listening to rock... it effects your mind
