The idea that an individual, regardless of their personal wealth, is demonized for wanting creative freedom and not be tied to one company for a certain number of years for a certain amount of creations - is ludicrous. People who are artists are not like accountants or lawyers, whatever - artistic expression doesn't come to an artist at will. I so admired GM for suing SONY though I always knew he would lose given the impact his success in the case would have had on the entire industry - the corporate world, stockholders - and, the courts - were not going to allow that to happen regardless of his being absolutely 100% correct in what he was trying to achieve: his freedom. We all have it in our work - musicians don't and it doesn't matter how much money is involved. I knew musicians here in NYC back then who were silently hoping he would win but not one of them had the courage to speak up in support of him - they all kept their mouths shut. Shameful but expected. GM is so missed as an artist and just as much as an ethical, kind human being 💔
George was truly a beautiful Soul who shined far too bright for this World. We have to be grateful now that you have left us so much of your fine creativity. R.I.P.
it is so so sad that we would no longer hear George's new musical creation. the world lost one of the most talented artist, a beautiful soulful voice and a very wonderful person who just wants to make beautiful music for the world
We Truly DID lose a man of SO MUCH to give-and he DID! Exceptional talent, 'HOT' n sexy, Smart, a soul of a saint but STOOD UP. w/ALL he possessed of himself AS A PERSON, SO MANY wld have been an egotistical JERK!!!
Soni hurt a lot of artist George would not sell out to them. Forever He lives in our Heart's and now is Happy watching over all of us. Love from all of Us who did love You You're music.
Marta Gray - Same here. Too bad "Older" never really caught on in the U.S. Even if it would've been further pushed along by the record company, I blame U.S. audiences, not the speculation voiced by the person being interviewed that he wasn't as popular as he once was because he was "washed up" or irrelevant. Since the early 90's, the U.S. media has not only always been geared towards teen audiences (for which a album like "Older" was just too sophisticated for) but also leans more towards more urban sounding music. Sad but true. Interesting what every musician has to say about record companies back then. I used to work at one in the eighties. It felt more like working at a bank. All most of them care about is the bottom line.
W. G. we loved him in America! they should of pushed it, I would of bought it and people I know would buy it! those so called executives can say whatever now that he is gone! just the video would of worked hear, I love it and if I can find it I'll buy it!
Thank you so much GM for your wonderfull songs and amazing voice, u were beautiful outside and inside and now watching ur videos and listening to ur songs i cry for you and its so sad u gone but ur music live forever just like you in the hearts of all the fans...............we love and miss u so much.....RIP GM
"He was selling more than MIchael Jackson. He was selling more than Madonna. He was out-selling everybody," quote from Sony Excecutive. " I couldn't do business with people who didn't care," quote by George Michael. George Michael has the BEST VOICE, hands down, out of so many other performing artists of his generation. I love George Michael, always have , always will. RIP, mate.. you have your freedom now..
Jill Kesses : I concour. George had it all..The voice, the grace, the handsome face, great speaking voice, awesome stage presence..Winning all kinds of awards.. charitable beyond words..The sheer talent of writing, arranging and producing his own music. It's hurts me so much this man died alone..
Thank you for everything George. You were and are the soundtrack of my life. will keep your memory alive. love you always you beautiful man ❤ Rest in Peace Yog xx
There will never be another George Michael. He was gorgeous, soo talented, generous and gracious. RIP. GM. Thank you for leaving us your beautiful music and videos but why have you been taken far to soon? I met you,, in Italy and I saw your death report on my phone and burst into tears. It is funny because I live in Vegas and I was at a poker table. We have lost an icon, I hope 2017 doesn't repeat the horror of. 2016. I pray GM is at peace and I hope my years and tears make me appreciate how real his music was. It was auto biographical. Omg I loved that man. RIP GM xxxxxxc
George Michael is brilliant (how he didn't break down recording 'Jesus To A Child', I don't know..) but I had to stop watching at Tony Parsons. Sorry.
He did THIS concert while things in his personal life was in emotional strains; he knew Anselmo was not doing so well; I THINK they'd just found out Anselmo had aids-not sure of the FACTS, but..my point IS: he was FOREVER the professional and performed BEAUTIFULLY AND PERFECTLY regardless of in turmoil at/when he'd had these type of moment(s) !!
What a statement! And the way he performed at Freedie Mercurys tribute concert knowing that the love of his life was unwell with the same illness. He was so brave and courageous and so kind and generous! He will be missed and remembered

where can he have freedom? that much fame and millions desiring george? - he knew that he could not go back and gain the freedom he once had, he was a pawn in a capitalist world. he was a sex symbol and yes the Faith look imprinted him in all our minds. and maybe he was confused, he represented to women a hetrosexual desire and maybe that he was not comfortable with 25 years ago and from a perspective that is very much alive today, popstars are advised not to represent their sexuality - they need to maximise their fan base - and sexual desire sells. where can you be free, you just learn to adapt and flow - which george did later, and he quite liked it that despite being gay and openly so, women still desired and fantasised about him.
George Michael your mind was good and you tried to give LOVE and AFFECT to who you found. You have not always found the one who regained your affection and your goodness. He loved music and understood that the Lord had given you a great and beautiful voice. The LOVE you found in a person named Anselmo Feleppa, a man you shared moments of joy and sex. Your nature led you to love a man of your own sex, what's wrong with you? George was pure and fragile. With Anselmo taken away from you too soon, followed by your dear mother, the other person you loved came into depression made unfortunately by the wrong choices. For you the joy of life is over, just daily routines, new music, drugs, new concerts, male friendships to vent your sex instincts, already experienced with Anselmo, but I think they are reciprocated with little true LOVE. George I'm not gay, but I still love and love your voice, your music and your integrity.
The Older album is a masterpiece, George is phenomenal. What a great loss to the world and to the music industry. One of a kind. Rest in Peace, George.
Coltsuperocean10,......what a horrible thing to say. You are obviously jealous of him. Millions of people loved him. He was a talented,musician and by all accounts very generous. What have you done in your sorry life that you have to say nasty things
Sony didn't want to sell that contract to someone else until they showed him who is boss? But Sony made a huge mistake, you prove you didn't care about true artists and 10 years later they became non existent. They cost the fans 2 albums , listen without prejudice 2 and Trojan souls album . Shame on you Sony .
Older is a lot better than Listen. However, it was still slow and depressing overall. I complain because they star people too damn quiet. that was a bad creative telltale.
George Michael. A massively talented person who gave us so much xxx
crazy how things have gone backwards...you don't even see videos on mtv anymore.
R.I.P. George Michael.
#Masterpiece. One of my most favorites albums.Had #songs that have stayed #timeless and will continue so. #RIP.
always will be my first love💓RIP MyLove

"OLDER" is soo sad. Beautiful, but sad.. "Listen without prejudice" & "Older" are my fav.

So tragic. Gone too soon.
No other can sing a freddy song like georg.... two such talents forever missed RIP x
agree
Lyn Kent True
absolutely, I had always thought the same!! even like more the GM version! Both were brilliant!
We. never appreciate people when there alive, maybe we should all learn to love more and not be constantly slagging off folk
wonderfull
Thank you for everything George. You were and are the soundtrack of my life. will keep your memory alive. love you always you beautiful man ❤ Rest in Peace Yog xx
Just like WHAM! could not last forever neither could the FAITH image he had a right to change to evolve
The boys as they were then, showed how two people could move forward in peace and goodwill for each other. 💜
Carolyn Campbell they never let the band affect the friendship the friendship was one thing the business was seperate
Favourite albumn

Yeah totally agree, loved George to bits, very saddened by his death, horrified by that annoying smug cretin TP...
Do you have full video/documentary?
