Boy George is awesome. He did an excellent job on this song.😃He has such a beautiful voice. God bless Boy G. and The best there will ever be, Mr. DAVID BOWIE
RIP Bowie. Bowie had such an impact on Boy George's early life. And Culture Club have done an excellent cover version here of Starman. And Boy George ROCKS on BBC The Voice UK!
That Boy George and Culture Club: absolutely awesome, always great. A visit from George O'Dowd to Puerto Rico in the 80's was A Sensational Event. Didn't even had to sing on TV, he was everywhere on the radio and on video already. For he was truly the Starman to us all, y'know?! I'll tumble 4 ya, yay!
What a fantastic tribute. I absolutely feel what he was saying, and it took me back to high school - the time when Boy George appeared out of nowhere and wowed everybody
I'm not a gay person but it sickens me the way people bash Boy just because of sexual preference. IDGAF what a person does behind closed doors as long as it's consensual. He has an amazing singing voice and songwriting talent. Amazing tribute to the Starman Mr. George CHEERS!
+Patrick Simmons ...well said - I second the sentiment ...Boy has only ever communicated love and acceptance. His main life issues were with drug addiction, but who could blame him for trying find escape from a life of beratement. I'm glad he persevered ...he's was an important icon of the early 80's.
jangyman He definitely went through the wringer. When he got really strung out I expected him to be found dead somewhere but he pulled through thankfully...
+Patrick Simmons I totally agree, indeed I saw 'George' at the Meltdown a few years back and have seen his autobiographical play, both in London( a 'should see'. The 'consensual' tickled me a bit. He was convicted for tying a bloke to his radiator, keeping him prisoner in his NY apartment. Also for supplying heroin to a man that died from it (london 1986). I would never 'dis' the bloke; he's well over 6 feet tall and well built also!, he did a lot of boxing before he was 'Boy'. I totally respect the guy nonetheless.
+Patrick Simmons the small minded among us will always try and drag the rest of us into the gutter with them... so, to use the scientific term: FUCK THEM... George is awesome... although, he is turning into a lovely old broad... :)
***** We know that, who doesn't? But his sexual preference doesn't matter, I'm not attracted to him that way, I like him as an artist, as a human being, I like his personality, his smile, his charisma, and if I met him I would love to give him a big hug.
+Daniel Doré Oh yes. It's so funny - my very bestest friend is a big strong masculine (very very straight) guy who absolutely loves the Boy's voice (and football and martial arts). After his comeback recently my friend made a point of listening to and comparing old and new recordings of him. He has the best hearing I have ever encountered, and can instantly pick out what do for bands... He asked me to dig up and play "Do You Want To Hurt Me" in a recent YT video from 2014. With some trepidation, I did so... he listened quietly. I glanced over, and a gentle little smile was playing on his lips. "So, what do you think?" I babbled, with an attempt to explain vocal cord damage etc. ... he held his hand and smiled again. All he had to say was "Like a fine old wine...". :) :) :)
LOVED THIS ! I get the feeling that George and the whole gang are much loved by the audience as CC was back in the day. George seems much more in control of himself.
To quote a Time Magazine article from the early 80s about Boy George: "Hang on. We'll talk about the gay thing in a minute. But right now, let us make this very clear: The Boy really has pipes. He is a great singer!" Peace. :-)
Beyond talented, imho. I call him Boy Gorgeous. His voice is awesome and this tribute to David Bowie is amazing !!! We love you BG, and ty. David would be proud mon. Starman.
David Bowie's Death Hit me Hard...I tear up anytime his songs come on or I need to hear them which is just about everyday. I don't think I'll ever get over his death... until I die.
Absolutely awesome Boy George !!! You definitely do this song justice and I just know that David Bowie smiles down at you every time you perform it . Such a beautiful iconic song ! Rip David Bowie ….. ❤️🙏🌈✝️🕊️
There's a starman waiting in the sky He'd like to come and meet us But he thinks he'd blow our minds There's a starman waiting in the sky He's told us not to blow it Cause he knows it's all worthwhile He told me: Let the children lose it Let the children use it Let all the children boogie
Bryan Narváez I am sorry but I think it was pure schlock! There were others who could have done it far better. Lorde's tribute at the Brit Awards was simply sublime! Lady Gaga is very talented but she was out of her element in a poorly constructed tribute and performance by Nile Rodgers.
When Culture Club first hit it big, I remember Boy was often grousing about how David Bowie would visit the clubs, watch the kids there, and "steal" and used their ideas onstage. I guess the hatchet was buried.
PLEASE TUNE IN TO WUSB.FM NEW YAWK ON 9/12 FROM 8-10 PM FOR MY SHOW CELEBRATING DAVID BOWIE!! INTERVIEW WITH ADRIAN BELEW.. UPCOMING SHOWS IN ICELAND (AND SOUTH AMERICA ) WITH TODD RUNDGREN!! I'LL BE USING THIS SONG!!!
This is a nice version, I did a version myself after I was saddened by the news of BOWIES death if you would like to check it I would appreciate it guys. Thank you.
Boy George did a excellent job singing this song. Bowie!!!!! Rest In peace!!!

Nice to hear Culture Club performing David Bowie.
So many stars tributed Bowie after his death, Boy George already worshipped him when he was alive.
Didn't we all?

I've been a fan since I was in junior high back in the 80s and I've been a fan of Bowie even longer. This made my heart smile!
What a fantastic tribute. I absolutely feel what he was saying, and it took me back to high school - the time when Boy George appeared out of nowhere and wowed everybody

Blimey this is brilliant. He has a great voice
Boy, George is still gorgeous! I have always loved him.
I agree, and me too.
+Laura H He likes dudes, you know?
+Will Mac Yeah. I do too.

There are studies and theories about what makes people gay. I'd like to see more studies about what makes people gay phobic. I have a theory.
my favourite band for ever !
Yes Bowie changed my life at 15... now 61, still listening & to anyone who is a great steward of his music... the Boy is Bo's greatest disciple
Ive watched countless stars paying tribute to Bowie, but this is probably one of the best...amazing voice and truly moving intro.
it's good to see boyGeorge back in shape. Nice voice and very good version.
+Daniel Doré Oh yes. It's so funny - my very bestest friend is a big strong masculine (very very straight) guy who absolutely loves the Boy's voice (and football and martial arts).

George, you've always been one of my top rated vocalists of my time. I love when you lend your voice to anything.
George is in great voice on this tribute to his idol...
mesmerizing and epic what a good vibe, George and the gang did so well, that you could feel Bowie's presence!.
Simply amazing.

Thank you for sharing these fantastic videos! I really love this show in Berkeley!
What a classic song . As relevant today as 50 years ago.
Shhh.... Say what you like about George, but that boy can sing.
To quote a Time Magazine article from the early 80s about Boy George:
"Hang on. We'll talk about the gay thing in a minute. But right now, let us make this very clear: The Boy really has pipes. He is a great singer!"
Peace. :-)
Beyond talented, imho. I call him Boy Gorgeous. His voice is awesome and this tribute to David Bowie is amazing !!! We love you BG, and ty. David would be proud mon. Starman.

David Bowie's Death Hit me Hard...I tear up anytime his songs come on or I need to hear them which is just about everyday. I don't think I'll ever get over his death... until I die.
Just realized it was before Bowie's death. Bonus
Absolutely. Afterwards everybody did "his" tribute.
Absolutely awesome Boy George !!! You definitely do this song justice and I just know that David Bowie smiles down at you every time you perform it . Such a beautiful iconic song ! Rip David Bowie …..

Now I’m tied for the best cover of this song, with Dewey Cox being good in his own way.
Espléndido Boy Georg!!!

That headpiece. Ha!

DIVA!
Nice one Boy
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
WHAT'S THE SONG AT 0:38 ? I JUST CAN'T RECALL AND IT'S EATING ME!!
David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust
Margarida Bela Ahh, of course! Thank you!
Ashwin Nepal no problem!
Boy George, quem é rei nunca perde a majestade, lindo, amour de ma vie!
Lindo... tudo nesse vídeo...
Looks like the prophet from halo 2.
Espectacular...amo tu versión hermoso boy George te amo!!!!!!!💋💋💋💋💋
Boy George should've done the Bowie tribute instead of Lady Gaga.. 😓
+Syd “psychedelicsyd” Karloff I think that there is one on utube
Lady Gaga was amazing... .-.
Bryan Narváez I am sorry but I think it was pure schlock! There were others who could have done it far better. Lorde's tribute at the Brit Awards was simply sublime! Lady Gaga is very talented but she was out of her element in a poorly constructed tribute and performance by Nile Rodgers.
I totally agree
Yes
I Love you Boy George
When Culture Club first hit it big, I remember Boy was often grousing about how David Bowie would visit the clubs, watch the kids there, and "steal" and used their ideas onstage. I guess the hatchet was buried.
Do I spot Zee on backing vocals
does anyone know what Boy George says @1.13? hard to hear.
MD encanta tu versión hermoso boy...💋💋💋🤩🤩🤩🤩🎶🎶🎶💟💟💟te amo por siempre!!!!!

What is that george is wearing on his head a star hat
what was the song they started playing first? Before George interrupted?
We are all children of Bowie...
I'm a heterosexual woman, and I LOVE BOY GEORGE, he's so colourful in all he does
Wow
This is a nice version, I did a version myself after I was saddened by the news of BOWIES death if you would like to check it I would appreciate it guys. Thank you.
