George did a sneaky switcharoo for some reason. When the Unplugged songs were finally released on audio, the original live performance was replaced with this. I have no idea why. Even though it was released after his death, I think it was his doing. In this version I miss his “if you don’t, if you don’t, if you don’t” at the end. That’s my favorite part.
This reaction you’re having is exactly the reason I love George so much. George could cover somebody else’s song and bring it to a level of emotion that I had never felt before. He truly delivered every word with that raw emotion and vulnerability. He really knew the way to tap into your soul with his own music or his version of somebody else’s. I adore this artist.
George Michael is one of the very very few elite who can sing a cover better than the original artist! This IS that example;)! Also one of the incredibly few who sound absolutely amazing singing live!
I had very little reaction to the original recording but when I saw and heard George's Unplugged version I was tearing up. His capacity to convey pure emotion is immeasurable.
I felt the same way the first time I heard George's version of this. He's such a soulful singer and you can tell he's really singing from a place of having experienced that emotion. Like when you watch the live video, he's really going through something when he's singing it. ☹️ It's beautiful and heartbreaking. Your reactions are wonderful and so genuine! Thanks for sharing your personal story too. 🙏
There are artists and songs that can touch your soul, George is a soul touching artist. Missing him loads he had so much to give but in his final hours he felt alone and give up his fight.
I was thrown by my reaction to your reaction !! when your listening to George Michael slow songs you start of just listening then he grabs you and pulls you into the song with him! from that point he takes you down memory lane !! has done that to me many times too that is the magic of George's music !! you seem so very genuine SUBSCRIBED !!
I would suggest reacting to George Michael's "Jesus to a Child" and his covers of "The Long and Winding Road" (Paul McCartney) and "Tonight" (Elton John).
George has a fabulous mellow voice, he just flows, would you react to a different corner by George.. you have a beautiful old skool soul Angela..thats pretty evident in your reactions....
A Different Corner is SO good. But if she reacts to it, it really should be the live version which is better (and even George said he preferred this version/arrangement). Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/VfPSNKb0Ahc/w-d-xo.html
To me George was one of the greatest singers ever. Fabulous voice! If you want something more upbeat listen to I'm yr Man when he was in Wham. What a great loss, RIP George.
No one does a Cover Track like the late George Michael - he was The Master of Covers! A beautiful human being inside and out, he gave with his heart - while always singing from his soul...
Have you checked out his live performance of this? Absolutely flawless. The man was gifted beyond compare. More people need to hear this version! He hits some unreal high notes towards the end and he doesn't ever break a sweat.
Facts. The first time I saw that performance I was absolutely floored. It literally took my breath away, and I do mean literally. I was so transfixed I actually forgot to breathe for a minute. Afterwards I sat in stunned silence for a good 10 minutes.
@@Marcus_1001 Its genuinely a shame that Teddy Swims and Bonnie Raitt are the well known versions, and George seems to have gone under the radar, especially that flawless live performance
@@seandoyle573 I couldn't agree more. I'm not sure any artist singing any song has ever touched me so deeply. When George sang this song on the MTV Live performance I felt every single word to my core.
@@seandoyle573 Exactly. I couldn't even begin to guess how many times I've listed to that song or watched the video, but I'm quite certain it's in excess of a hundred. And you know what? It still affects me as deeply as it did the very first time I heard it. A lot of very talented people can sing a song and while they may hit every note, it takes a truly remarkable singer to be able to *convey* what they are singing. You can tell when a performer is actually feeling what they are singing as opposed to just singing the words, and only the best singer can make you feel that same feeling. George did that with this song. I feel similarly about I Will Always Love you. Whitney Houston did a good job of belting that song, but it always felt hollow to me. The emotion that drips from every word when Dolly Parton sings it is what makes it so beautiful and relatable.
Georgios was really, really deep. I started listening to his music 28 years ago when I was 17... and I stuck to it...forever. Mostly because of voice, delivery to each cell in listener's body... songs takes you over...magic. And in years of work, I learned to sing... from his songs. It is not describable how deep you should go with emotions and technique to achieve the effect and what feelings and extacy the singer get in return. I highly suggest to very young singers start with singing GM music to get a deep idea about what the 100% singing, also qualitywise, means.
George’s version is so Beautiful 🥰 Another great cover is “The Long and Winding Road” even better than the original!!! His voice .. WOW!! Love George ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your reaction just came up on My timeline and it brought tears to my eyes George was a special talent really special especially his amazing voice thank you 💜
To me George's version was more soul full and hart felt. This cover is also done by Teddy Swims and Tank are well done. Georges live cover of this song is beautifully done on "Live on the BBC". Another Live on the BBC song by George is "A Different Corner" so deep and beautiful such a great voice. RIP!!
His album "OLDER" is absolutely a beautiful masterpiece! And thats comin from a 70's and 80's classic rock n metal head... n yes i bought a George George Michaels CD. Id never ina trillion yrs thought id ever EVER own a cd of his... EVER! But i did n im so so glad.
Thank you for reacting to this!! If you get a chance watch the MTV Unplugged version of this (on your own time). It’s a bit different and the ending is definitely different. It’s nice to watch, too.
This is one of my favorite karaoke songs…..the George Michael version. I was fortunate to have seen George Michael live in 2008 in San Jose, CA. He’s a treasure and such a gifted singer! I miss him dearly! 😢❤
It's different because it's George singing. He was 1 in a billion talent. Impossible to keep a straight face. George and Freddie were such indescribable losses for the world of music. Gone waaaay too soon!
I’ve watched several of your reactions to George Michael, and his voice gets you every time. I would highly recommend that you react to 2 songs of his - My mother had a brother and They won’t go when I go, arguably his best vocal performances IMO.
This is one of my all time fav performances of his. STUNNING! This is actually a live version of this on youtube. This one may be a live version as well, but not the same one i'm thinking of
George Michael made best covers ever. Ever. Lovely reaction, thank you. I cry too when he does those sad love\loss\etc. songs, his own or covers. They just get to you like no other.
i feel u,been there done that. bonnie raitt's version is good,then there's teddy swims, his version is good too. but george's version just conveys more pain in the way he sings it like a haunting way
I love this song too I plan on having this song played at my funeral for my brothers because neither one has ever shown the love I always wanted from them 💔.
I love George Michael music very very much and its my first time hearing of this version, plus I now about the amazing Bonnie Raitt, but George Michael`s live unplugged version is even better, in my mind.
The reason it feels different is because it is coming from a man. A song with these emotions plays off of your female feelings for a man. It's the man's feelings with this song that is in touch with your feminine feelings.
This version is excellent and even this I find superior to Bonnie Raitt, but if you really want to hear the best version, please check out George doing this song live in 1996 on MTV Unplugged. That performance brings me to tears every time. Every. Single. Time. George Michael was so incredibly talented and I will miss him forever. You can watch the live 1996 performance here: th-cam.com/video/QbWJO8RMg1A/w-d-xo.html

As good as this sounds, and it sounds great, George’s live version “unplugged “ is unbelievably incredible!

Even though it was released after his death, I think it was his doing. In this version I miss his “if you don’t, if you don’t, if you don’t” at the end. That’s my favorite part.
I think the live version is better too.
I 2nd that, the MTV UNPLUGGED PERFORMANCE, was pure art.🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.
That is the best rendition of this song
@@Julieroo28 yeah repetition of "if you dont" in unplugged is so beautiful ❤️
This reaction you’re having is exactly the reason I love George so much. George could cover somebody else’s song and bring it to a level of emotion that I had never felt before.

Been to a few of his concerts. Sang mostly Elton John songs
@Teddy - which concerts? Mostly Elton John?! Not when I’ve seen him he didn’t.
My dear, The difference is George sings this from his heart. You'll always feel his amotion like he's singing just to you. Always remember, He Is!
I miss George. He was a real talent. Had real soul in his voice and a marvellous songwriter.
Personally I think George Michael sings the best version of this song ❤️ My No 1 track of his is " kissing a fool " heart warming jazz feel song ❤️
I had very little reaction to the original recording but when I saw and heard George's Unplugged version I was tearing up. His capacity to convey pure emotion is immeasurable.
It feels different because George Michael sang with EMOTION...
Makes me feel the same. Only George can really make you feel the heartbreak.
I felt the same way the first time I heard George's version of this. He's such a soulful singer and you can tell he's really singing from a place of having experienced that emotion.

You must listen to George Michael sing this live at MTV unplugged. So much raw emotion than this recorded version. Pure magic ❤
Love George’s version… he sang songs better than the originals! Check out “The Long and Winding road” ❤️
Such a lovely human … filled with emotion in just listening to George !

has done that to me many times too
that is the magic of George's music !!
you seem so very genuine
SUBSCRIBED !!
He's a legend when ever I hear him sing now tho I just think what a sad end to his life he had for such a great person
I would suggest reacting to George Michael's "Jesus to a Child" and his covers of "The Long and Winding Road" (Paul McCartney) and "Tonight" (Elton John).

Best male vocalist of all time . Period
Had the pleasure off meeting George Micheal about 15 years ago sat and had a drink with him in Los Angeles
George Michael was the best looking human that ever walked the planet. So sad he is gone
Yes. He was brilliant in so many ways.
@teddybear - he was so much more than just his looks.
@TeddyBear - George was so much more than just his looks.
Jesus To A Child should be your next George Michael reaction. You will love it.
No one does a Cover Track like the late George Michael - he was The Master of Covers!
A beautiful human being inside and out, he gave with his heart - while always singing from his soul...
This is the first time I heard George Michael do this song, it is a beautiful version for sure. Shout out to the bass player, I love the bass line.
What a master of his craft george was. Always my favourite what a voice
This is better than the original in my view
He puts so much emotion in it
It is better than the original, absolutely.
All his covers are better than the originals to me. Oh, my dear George, you’re truly missed!

When George sings it’s warmer smoother and deeper

the most underrated make vocalist ever,try George Michaels you have been loved
I loved your reaction to his rendition. U got me tearing up. George will always be my ultimate favorite singer 🥰
George’s version is so Beautiful 🥰 Another great cover is “The Long and Winding Road” even better than the original!!! His voice .. WOW!! Love George ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I prefer the George Michael's unplugged version which has a much warmer, intimate feel to it. Check it out on YT.
Theres a live version of him singing this song and its absolutely perfect. Such a beautiful heart crushing song. Great great job he did. I Love it💖
Thank you, George.
Listen to George singing "Spinning the Wheel"....You'll love it!!
Your reaction just came up on
My timeline and it brought tears to my eyes George was a special talent really special especially his amazing voice thank you 💜
George has a great voice and many excellent songs you should react to him and elton john don't let the sun go down on me
Brings tears to my eyes when I hear this 👌
I was just going to say the same. What a phenomenal talent taken from us too early.
To me George's version was more soul full and hart felt. This cover is also done by Teddy Swims and Tank are well done. Georges live cover of this song is beautifully done on "Live on the BBC". Another Live on the BBC song by George is "A Different Corner" so deep and beautiful such a great voice. RIP!!
Your eyes really ARE the windows to your soul Angela bless you 🙏
My wife and I listened to his more mature solo stuff when we first got married. Three kids within three years. George. Enough said.
Thats a fact with many people around the world 😊
His album "OLDER" is absolutely a beautiful masterpiece! And thats comin from a 70's and 80's classic rock n metal head... n yes i bought a George George Michaels CD. Id never ina trillion yrs thought id ever EVER own a cd of his... EVER! But i did n im so so glad.
The live version is even better
You have a wonderful soul!.
Thank you for reacting to this!! If you get a chance watch the MTV Unplugged version of this (on your own time). It’s a bit different and the ending is definitely different. It’s nice to watch, too.
That MTV unplugged performance is amazing through and through but you're right, this song is sung so beautifully on that performance!
Angela, here’s the link to the “Unplugged” version. You will really like it. th-cam.com/video/QbWJO8RMg1A/w-d-xo.html
This is one of my favorite karaoke songs…..the George Michael version. I was fortunate to have seen George Michael live in 2008 in San Jose, CA. He’s a treasure and such a gifted singer! I miss him dearly! 😢❤
Makes me cry because it’s so beautiful.
It's different because it's George singing. He was 1 in a billion talent. Impossible to keep a straight face. George and Freddie were such indescribable losses for the world of music. Gone waaaay too soon!
Such a heartbreaking song. I can't listen to it without welling up, and when I saw the emotional reaction you were having, it got to me even more
I can't even listen to this. It is so beautiful and sad, it's too much for me.
Still one of the greatest angelic male voice ever
Gotta try Kissing a fool by George. He recorded it in one take, a cappella. He was amazing.
Gee, it just makes you cry x
I’ve watched several of your reactions to George Michael, and his voice gets you every time. I would highly recommend that you react to 2 songs of his - My mother had a brother and They won’t go when I go, arguably his best vocal performances IMO.

George Michael made best covers ever. Ever. Lovely reaction, thank you. I cry too when he does those sad love\loss\etc. songs, his own or covers. They just get to you like no other.
Thats as close to perfect as it gets
That was such an honest reaction, it was beautiful.
He felt this %100..
I love watching your reaction to george, you have a beautiful heart, keep loving, this world needs your love!
My favorite by George is called something to save. You might want to check it out
I love his voice so much in this, he's perfect, it makes me think of a perfect love even though the song doesn't represent
u are so genuine! Im a fan..! Im an empath and you make me cry.
He sang all his songs from the hart, tolt true stories. I grew up with his music, still mis 😭
Perfection. Auto tune not. Massive talent.
i feel u,been there done that. bonnie raitt's version is good,then there's teddy swims, his version is good too. but george's version just conveys more pain in the way he sings it like a haunting way
I’m not sure if this is a live performance in the studio his voice was that good I can’t tell he was that good 😊
Foreign skies and different corner are also excellent songs by George Michael.
Beautiful song and specially the lady hosting it❤️
the vh 1 live version of this is epic.... the whole show is him at the top of his game
Definitely a sexy man with a voice to match. Really miss him !1
When you say 'George!' That was the reaction of so many women when he died, he was really adored by women
You should listen to the live version
You never looked more beautiful than when you felt that song
Billy ocean sad songs will make you cry
Goosebumps!! No words.
I love this song too I plan on having this song played at my funeral for my brothers because neither one has ever shown the love I always wanted from them 💔.
You are sooo beautiful to look at hon! I feel your heart with this song. It is same for me
You have a Beautiful soul young lady
gorgeous george! Legend!
If you were a guy and you were told you look like George Michael, it was big compliment
We have all been hurt princess 💔.you have a beautiful heart I can see it in your eyes.He’s songs don’t touch the heart they go inside ❤️.
George Michael RI. I. P. 😢
the voice
I know the feeling only too well and the woman i loved and do still love as just died im heartbroken but can't show it.
I carry this amount of heavy love wherever I go as I'm still yet to meet whoever she is 😊
I love George Michael music very very much and its my first time hearing of this version, plus I now about the amazing Bonnie Raitt, but George Michael`s live unplugged version is even better, in my mind.
Heavenly....
Bless you Angela you feel it 🤦♀️
The song is beautiful and is better sang by George Michael's every!❤💯
Would love to hear two George Michael songs at some point for you to react to Angela:
Freedom '90 and Waiting For That Day.
Thank you
Eva Cassidy "Over the Rainbow" is gold and right up your alley.
The reason it feels different is because it is coming from a man. A song with these emotions plays off of your female feelings for a man. It's the man's feelings with this song that is in touch with your feminine feelings.
I think it has a lot to do with the beauty and emotion in his voice.
RIP George Michael this song makes me sad when I was in love with a women but she didn't feel the same, so depressing.
his live MTV Unplugged is even better than this recording. Hard to believe.
I like how she listen to that song very quiet some youtuber be talking so damn much I just skip them
George❤
This version is excellent and even this I find superior to Bonnie Raitt, but if you really want to hear the best version, please check out George doing this song live in 1996 on MTV Unplugged.
