  • PLEASE Subscribe to this channel, I've LOTS more videos to upload.
    This video is from my own old VHS tape collection, which I've converted to digital format, sorry for any loss of quality. Unfortunately, TH-cam has blocked the songs George Michael sang on the show (A Different Corner & Outside) from being shown due to strict copyrights. Very sorry.
    A very special George Michael interview, from when he appeared on the 'Parkinson Show' back in 1998. The complete show was just for George (no other guests).
    George Michael talks honestly & humorously about his life. He actually sings 'A Different Corner' and 'Outside' live in the studio during this show. Unfortunately, TH-cam has blocked them from being shown due to strict copyrights. Very sorry.
    All I can say about his performance & voice is . . . PURE CLASS!

      *It was Entrapment which is not good.* Just a Setup but he couldn't say that. You don't initiate and make advances at a person then arrest them if they respond. It's very Dirty to induce a person to commit a "crime" that they would have otherwise been unlikely or unwilling to commit.

They made the whole silly thing into a huge deal and he handmed it with such grace. I would have been livid and utterly arrogant about it, but he approached it so humbly and with infinite class.

It's a complete cliche but you don't really see vocal talents like him anymore. He had one of the most effortless, smooth vocals probably ever. Great singer and songwriter.

    He handled what could have been career suicide in such an empowering way. By stripping away the power from the media and putting the ball in his own court he shut them up. That took fortitude. His video after this with the disco in the public restroom was awesome. He made light of something they were trying to ruin him with. The man was so extraordinarily talented. His beautiful voice, song writing abilities and beauty will remain with us always. RIP George ❤❤

He was so outstanding talented, brave, pure, direct, and inspiring! He felt down so many times, stood up, always encouraging us to keep heads up and at the same time telling us that’s ok to fail, be lost and broken! When it comes to showing yourself authenticly even if you are a superstar (and I think in private as well): George Michael is an absolute role model! I miss him so much!

      No he didn't. I wish he would have. He made excuses and blamed others for his actions. He even strongly suggested that the media and police worked together to set him up. How would the media and police know he would be in that public bathroom at that moment? They couldn't know. Blaming others for your actions isn't integrity or courage. Accepting and owning your actions would be integrity and courage. He played it off as a joke, not a big deal, and wrote it off as a conspiracy. Theres was a reason why police in the US were doing those set ups back then. A lot of very young boys and men were being used, manipulated, hooked on drugs, and then sold in public bathrooms to other men willing to pay. Pimps and drug dealers got the money while these boys and young men were used up and thrown away once they couldn't make money anymore. The police did a great job of stopping it through the stings and making the arrests public. The men going into public bathrooms to buy sex from these boys stopped bc they didn't want to be in the papers. The pimps and drug dealers stopped selling the boys in the bathrooms bc they couldn't make money that way anymore. GM saw himself as the victim in the situation when he wasn't. He was part of the problem.

      So who is lying? Either the police are lying in the police report or George is lying. What would the motive be for the police to lie knowing that it is a crime to do so and they are dealing with someone either with an awful lot of money or access to an awful lot of money. He could have filed a huge lawsuit against BHPD (I thought the arrest was in Beverly Hills so George's claim about the LAPD is false if he was arrested by BHPD). George's motive for lying is clear if he was indeed looking for sex. By downplaying the incident and not taking responsibility, he makes himself not look as bad.

      I agree with you about George Michael not taking responsibility for his actions, and pretending that he was set up and entrapped. He also made light of him cheating on his boyfriend which probably wasn't very funny to his partner when he found out. I don't know much about paying boys for sex and drugs and all of that stuff, so I can't comment on that. I live in Los Angeles and my understanding is that if you are looking for sex and/or are approached by someone offering sex for money, you should always ask them if they're a cop. That way, you can't get arrested because they have to tell you the truth. I also thought that this happened in Beverly Hills, so George's claim about LAPD wouldn't even be true. Beverly Hills is a separate city with a different police department. LAPD has no jurisdiction over the city of Beverly Hills.
