I finished listening to this version in tears. I'm crying like a baby. Fantastic Beverly. George we love you, you were one of the greatest. We miss you so much!
Being a huge huge George Michael fan for over 30 years I didn’t think anyone could do this song justice! Beverley knight you proved me wrong well done 👍
😢 what an absolutely world class vocalist , live with a real band, Beverly sings this this beautiful beautiful song with all her heart and soul.. very touching and moving..💯💥💝👏👏👏👏
Beverly absolutely killed this... But please give props to her band and backup singers they bring it all together... Just a brilliant display of people loving their craft amazing
Lordy lord. She can seriously SING. This was always 1 of my fave George Michael songs and she just sang the shit out of it with so much depth and soul. Just saw her on Graham Norton will watch some of her other songs.
There’s only one George. George is everything. There will never be another. Few people could do him justice with this epic song...Beverly...such a badass. Such a fan.
As for me, I prefer the random melodies and melisma that Mariah added to her cover of this song. And all in all with the added whistle note, it is a true ear-gasmic gem. If you didn't, try listening to Mariah's version (Me.I Am Mariah... the Elusive Chanteuse album) from start to finish so you would know what I'm talking about. Even the late Mr. George Michael appreciated what Mariah did to the song. :) As for this version, I think she became very aggressive in her approach to this song (climax), which is why I prefer Mariah's version more. But Beverly has great voice. More like Aretha with a touch of Beyonce (I'm not sure why I hear a little bit of Beyonce in her voice, maybe it's just me)
jiezel91 I was listening to radio 2 when George rang in to say how much he adored this cover Beverly did. I have no doubt he loved Mariahs too. The man was practically a Saint
I saw this video a few years ago and when George Michael died yesterday immediately I came here to experience, again, this truly outstanding tribute to his legacy. Thank you for this soul-stirring rendition. Beautiful. I hope to one day see you perform it. RIP #GeorgeMichael 😢
He did. He was getting interviewed on radio 2 as they played this cover a lot and he called in to praise Beverley and say how much he loved her version
This was truly phenomenal to listen to also an avid fan of The master and artist that is George Michael and he has this beautiful song given too much so much talent and performance of Beverley Knight. It’s just amazing to listen to what a credit George would be so amazed by this. ❤❤❤
Seeing Bev live is like nothing else. I've seen her a few times, she blew me away every time. So much so, I cried when she sang Time Is On My Side. It was so moving and powerful. Adore her art
She was the special mystery guest singer at an Andrea Bocelli concert in Belfast when I was there with my sister and sang shoulda woulda Coulda 🎶🎶 Literally brought the house down!❤️👏👏the highlight for me Bev in all her glory ❤beautifully dynamic born performer love 💕 💕 love ❤️
W😍W! I’m literally speechless... I already loved this song to pieces as it is but after hearing her soulful take on it... I’m dn in tears. This version needs more recognition
Huge fan of George here, and I think this cover made justice to the great song writter and king of covers. I believe he would be really proud of your great version, Beverley. Thanks for this beautiful moment.
Without a doubt, one of the best performances I have ever seen. What a way to transmit a song! I will never tire of seeing this wonder ... a thousand times.
It's funny, I've heard this song in the past but sadly didn't really appreciate how superbly written it is. Unfortunately, it took his passing for me to look up his music and stumble upon this beautiful gem. Now I have it on repeat. It has a soulful/bluesy/rock vibe to it. The arrangement puts me in the mind of other great hits like Aretha's "Natural Woman" and "Aint No Way". The pleading tone of the vocals reminds of a more recent song by the X Ambassadors "Unsteady". I also can't get enough of the line: "I don't want to learn to hold you, touch you!" Without that heartfelt line, this song would not be the same!
similar to me. I'd heard of it in the past, but it wasn't one of George Michaels songs i was most familiar with. It's sublime! Been listening to it several times tonight. His version still can't be touched, although this is F A N T A S T I C!
I applaud Beverly for paying tribute to UK soul singers and she has done it brilliantly in her own formidable style! Stunning lady, stunning vocals and performances!!!! Makes me proud to be Black British!
Who’s here watching 5 November 2024, chopping onions? What a Performance Beverly❤❤❤
First time hearing the song and I love it🔥🔥🔥
I finished listening to this version in tears. I'm crying like a baby. Fantastic Beverly. George we love you, you were one of the greatest. We miss you so much!
Oh my. George would be proud of her.
He was aware of Beverley's version before he died and he was indeed very proud of her.
This girl deserves every musical and performance award that exists. She is truly the ultimate.
I agree with you 100% MMM
MS KNIGHT SURE CAN HOLD A TUNE 🎵🎷🎹🎸✨️ SINGER
BEAUTIFUL LYRICS SONY
@@juliawalkerthompson5681 it's not just about holding a note, it's pure emotion conveyed with incredible charisma
Being a huge huge George Michael fan for over 30 years I didn’t think anyone could do this song justice! Beverley knight you proved me wrong well done 👍
See a girl gotcha. MMM
😎
Nope, just nope. Nowhere near as good as the original. Out of the two this sucks.
you need to manage your anger ,and get your hearing sorted @@pugh7755
@@pugh7755You're tripping.
Beverly...you got SOUL baby. That ol skool Black Baptist Church kinda Soul!!
You better believe it 🔊💟🎼🎼😎😃😀
😢 what an absolutely world class vocalist , live with a real band, Beverly sings this this beautiful beautiful song with all her heart and soul.. very touching and moving..💯💥💝👏👏👏👏
This is THE BEST cover of this song, hands down. She sang this perfectly. ✨🌟✨
GM's original is sublime. Beverley Knight truly nailed it.
How this woman's not a world superstar is the biggest injustice in music.
Totally agree, it is criminal, but she stays true to who she is. Shame on the music weirdo industry.
She's such an underrated talent. When a cover is done right it's something else
Señor Griffin she’s pure class
Beverly’s not seen enough these days, she’s one our best female vocalists, she’s class 👏🏼
Shes made a career in stage musicals you should go see her listen to her then say shes not seen much these days lol .
Bev is very underrated as a music artist but well respected in theatre. The most underrated singer is Jessie Ware.
Brilliant musicians like you keep the legacy of the great George Michael alive !
Wolverhampton Queen❤️
Beverly absolutely killed this... But please give props to her band and backup singers they bring it all together... Just a brilliant display of people loving their craft amazing
Never thought anyone other than George himself could do thus song justice. But all I can say is WOW. Thank you Beverly xxxx ❤️
Don't forget Adam Lambert rendition of this song as a tribute to George Michael at Project Angel Food.
It was a wonderful performance, it honored George Michael, simply brilliant. First time I heard this singer, I adored it, they should spread it more.
Beverley reduced me to tears singing this
I've watched this so many times it still sends shivers down my back, amazing performance
Brought me to my knees. So much soul. Well done, Ms. Knight! Take your bow! Big fan of George Michael. RIP!❤
How does a performance so powerful bring you to the brink of tears?
Yes❤
Lordy lord. She can seriously SING. This was always 1 of my fave George Michael songs and she just sang the shit out of it with so much depth and soul. Just saw her on Graham Norton will watch some of her other songs.
There’s only one George. George is everything. There will never be another. Few people could do him justice with this epic song...Beverly...such a badass. Such a fan.
Why am I just now finding this amazing woman?
George Michael is one of my favourite artists, and never a fan of cover versions of his songs. Except this one, its brilliant. Boy she has soul!

Couldn't agree more.
The best female singer this country has seen in the last 25 years a breathtaking rendition of a beautiful song.
agree
I just found this a few weeks ago. Couldn’t agree more!!
Beautiful voice and performance ❤️❤️😃
@@tonybrownlow6304 you
best uk female singer ever imo
Easily the best cover of ANY George Michael song, and it's effortless. Amazing. RIP GEORGE.
Beverley knight is underrated, i will cover this just to give her praise! She´s great.
I agree with you. Beverly knight made that song go to church. Gave me goose bumps and cold chills. Such a special gift she has
Lawd,!!! The soul!!!! Still the best cover of that song!❤
i listen to this everyday
Berverly is the best UK soul singer.
"I'm always flattered by cover versions of my songs - especially when they are sung as beautifully as this.
Thank You Beverley".
G.Michael
Wow did he actually say this? That’s awesome

Doesn't get better than that . You are a soul survivor. God bless

Charisse Carney-Nunes I miss him so much!!!!😭😭😭
She has a great voice! Good version! Have you seen JR Richards version? Will bring tears to your eyes.
Hands down the best cover of this song I’ve ever heard!
You turned this song into a whole new thing. No wonder George loved it. Thanks so much for sharing your talent
This is superb Beverley!!! I'm sure George must have heard this, and must have been delighted with it.
He did. He was getting interviewed on radio 2 as they played this cover a lot and he called in to praise Beverley and say how much he loved her version
이 곡은 정말 좋은 노래입니다..부르는 사람과 듣는 사람 모두를 눈물 흘리게 하니까요..조지 마이클이 그립네요
Mind blowing. One of the most powerful cover performances I've ever seen.
This lady is up there with the soul greats, always has been, always will be.....i'm waiting patiently for a LIVE album.
Marvellous 😊
Always tear up when I hear this song. Miss you so so much George. ❤
