Hi India, great song sung by so many. You just have to hear Maria Bello sing it. Her version is the only one out of the countless number I've pored over that has really moved me. I love Bonnie Raitt but this the best I've heard... th-cam.com/video/R9mjx7Cjnds/w-d-xo.html I like the variety of songs you are doing reactions to, so that's a subscribe from me.
India George does a song called "Careless Whisper" and another called "I'm never gonna dance again" from the "Faith" album. Those were waaay better IMO. But I'd really like to see you review a song called "A day in the life" by the Beatles. Thanks for the entertainment India.
George found the love of his life in a crowd of people at a concert. He was on stage, looked out into the crowd. Saw a man that gave him butterflies. He had security go get the man and bring him backstage. The two were together until his death.
Late reply I know, but you would be surprised at the number of Metalheads that Love the soothing sounds of George's Angelic voice. Me being another Metalhead fan of Mr. Michael.
Isn't George telling us the truth! That was part of his gift. You could listen to George when you were experiencing something and it seemed like he was saying I've been there too. Then you wouldn't feel all alone. That's part of his magic! He'll always be there for us because his music will always be there for us. Thanks
I agree. George Michael was one of those rare singers that he could do a cover of any song and make it sound better but no one could do justice to one of his.
I'm a big George Michael fan, this is my favourite version of this song. He is a fantastic singer, but not the best singer in the history of the world!!
Well I have to say the Bonnie Raitt version I've only heard, the studio recording. This version which is live may I add is impeccable. His voice is so pure silky and velvety and does not have the benefit of any editing while being in the studio. He has the best live voice ever. Absolutely flawless.
So many awesome George Michael songs - just perfect pitch always. I loved his personality too - always so humble and self-depreciating and gone too soon. You left some amazing music sir. RIP. If you haven't check out his duet with Elton John doing Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me'. It's so beautiful.
I like Bonnie Raitt. That being said George Michael sang this with so much more heart. This version is so more emotional. You can feel the hurt. George Michael easily had one of the best voices in music history.
George Michael was a masterpiece itself! He made every cover he sang it's own! His voice, his music, his looks🔥... OMG! This man was All in One! And I still miss him deeply😢💔 I am forever one of his Lovies!❤
George Michael has and always will be my favorite 💜 I love this version the best and feel he took any song and made it his own. Not to mention he was an excellent song writer and phenomenal live... Glad to see this review and the joy it brought💜
I cannot tell you how many times I've cried while listening to this song. George had the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard. Absolute perfection. And as for his rendition, I feel it's supposed to be gentle, highlighting the sadness inherent in the lyrics. Gorgeous.
This is for me the best version. George brings the track to life with the emotion it deserves. Considering this is live, his vocals are perfect. I miss you, George, sleep well you beautiful soul.
Yes. Totally agree. I like Bonnie Raitt but after hearing GM''s version, her voice sounds thin and reedy. To me, this will always be the definitive version of this song.
You should react to a very little known song George Michael covered called Let Her Down Easy by Terence Trent D'arby, the live versions are on his philharmonic tour which was the last one before he passed. (as far as i'm aware no one has reacted to this song before)
I never considered your description of the song as “a one night stand”. My interpretation was a relationship coming to an end. Either way, such a gut wrenching song, especially this PERFECT performance. Not taking anything away from Bonnie Raitte (sp) but this version is amazing. God bless you Michael. Thank you for leaving us your amazing voice that will continue on 💙
I regard George Michael's version far superior over the Bonnie Rait version (her version is cold and soulless) George's version touches my soul in the deepest way every time I hear it, without fail. Reminding me of all lost loves... Good and bad.
I haven't heard this song in years. I had a lot of albums of Bonnie Raitt after hearing this song from the 80's. GM is good on this song but the performance from Bonnie is so authentic. She's a good blues/pop performer with a great voice and an awesome guitar player (watch some of her slide paying). You should do some reactions to her stuff!
I can't believe someone finally reacted to this sublime stunning performance. This song you don't pause, nor it's for any talking or reacting to. This song is intimate in your own me time, off camera to chill back to, feel whatever emotions you gonna feel, etc.. and enjoy. I can't believe she was like meeeh it was cool, etc.. This is sensational! No way she'd every come across any version as good as this. Very disappointed! Need someone else with real taste, feeling and appreciation of this masterpiece, to react to this performance.
I was with a recovering alcoholic for 13 years. Starting dating him at 17 he though I was 18. He was 32. Its a long story. In the end he relapsed I was so young and didnt realise. But in any case he was really me first true love. He was all I have known at the time. His mum had passed away and he decided that it was best to end it. I tried to understand. But died in our driveway twice listening to this song cause I gave up. A month later I ended up dying again cause I didnt know how or why to carry on. Then I heard "A different corner" So in any case I will leave it at that. Just really messes with me. to know how CAPABLE love really is! And how some people just toss it aside. . . . . Thanks for listening.
India, when you can watch the 25 live concert from London. You will absolutely not be able to stop thinking about George's music once you see this concert. This concert was in the mid-to-late 2000s and he took it all over the world. He sings everything with his amazing band and backup singers. You will absolutely love it. Was George at his best. I have the concert on Blu-ray and from time to time I watch it. It always feels like I'm seeing it for the first time.
Bonnie Raitt who?? George took this song to a WHOLE NEW level!! I love him singing this song! He made this song his own! The man's voice is everything!! ❤️🎶💙🎼
One of the 80's best. Check out more 80's artist. Depeche Mode, The cure, U2, Talking Heads, REM, Devo, Tears for Fear, B52's, Simple Minds, Oingo Boingo to name a few.
I love this version. Bonnie Raitt's original is great, but George's version is pain, sadness...despair personified. His voice is so smooth, and his command over the mic is perfect here imo.
You're so right about how sometimes you have to give up the fight but sometimes the hauntings of an old love never go away .... They just want your soul until you don't exist
Please react to George Michael -Killer (Papa was a Rollin Stone) In 1991 George Michael performed a blend of 'Killer' and 'Papa Was a Rollin' Stone' live at Wembley Arena. The video shows a young George Michael at his very best: holding a crowd of thousands in the palm of his hand. (Smooth Radio). George Michael performed at the Wembley Arena, London for his Cover 2 Cover Tour in 1991 on March 19, 20, 22 and 23. But did you know that he donated proceeds from that show to British AIDS charities and hospices estimated to be more than $1 million? 🙏💜
There was a lot of poignancy in this performance. It was from MTV Unplugged in the UK a performance that has alot of sadness. HIs beloved Mother Leslie was in The Audience who would die shortly afterwards of Cancer. In the US his Career was all but finished due to his Battle with Sony yet the Brits never forgot him and continued to buy his Records.
1 off my favorite songs ,performed by george Michael, I had the pleasure off meeting him ,he signed his patient CD to me and I had a drink with him amazing person very classy individual
I like Bonnie Raitt's version better but I love his songs Father Figure & Freedom '90. You could react to either one of those & I'd be in a happy place. :)
I can't believe someone finally reacted to this sublime stunning performance. Thank you xxx !!! This song you don't pause, nor it's for any talking or reacting to. This song is intimate in your own me time, off camera to chill back to, feel whatever emotions you gonna feel, etc.. and enjoy. I can't believe you were like meeeh it was cool, etc.. This is sensational! Very disappointed. Need someone else with real taste, feeling and appreciation of this masterpiece, to react to this performance.
Totally agree. Other than expressing individual preference, the reviewer doesn't seem to have musical knowledge. This is an amazing song, and as sung by GM, like you, I think should have been savored and listened to with more reverence instead of interrupting, talking and giving her opinion on life, and then ultimately, dismissed. Very disappointing.
Bonnie Raitt’s was the first and different. George always puts his own stamp on a song. His voice is perfect for this. So glad to see you reacting to his rendition. You’ve got taste.
I love George Michael musically and every way He is the best singer there is ever was he is amazing and I love his heart and soul He is more than amazing. I would love him forever. I definitely love this version above all, including the original artist. I like Bonnie Ray at two, but she is no way as good as George Michael. This was the best version ever just like all of his songs, he is the best singer of all. That’s my opinion, and I will go by it forever as long as I live
Story of my life right now..... I just dont understand why she wont love me back. Guess I should stop hoping and trying now.... I hope I`ll be ok someday soon.
Like I said above (B INn purple) George's songs can always be there at the right place at the right time. Always remember George, and listen closely. In some ways, he can be life-changing through his music. I hope this helped in some way.
Thank you for watching

India George does a song called "Careless Whisper" and
another called "I'm never gonna dance again" from the "Faith" album.
Those were waaay better IMO.
But I'd really like to see you review a song called "A day in the life" by the Beatles.
Thanks for the entertainment India.
Magnificent Voice. Absolutely great talent. He should have more recognition.
George found the love of his life in a crowd of people at a concert. He was on stage, looked out into the crowd. Saw a man that gave him butterflies. He had security go get the man and bring him backstage. The two were together until his death.
can't believe people react to George or Teddy doing this without checking out Bonnie Raitt especially the version she does with Bruce Hornsby on piano
They don't make singers like George anymore. He was a one of a kind.
This is the most beautiful and emotional version of this song you'll ever encounter.
I agree. He rivaled Bonnie Raitt
Totally!
Bon ivers is pretty damn good too
Especially when George adds his unique style to notes unheard of
Look up teddy swims version amazing as well
I prefer George’s version. 💗
Absolutely The Best cover of this song, ever ! And I prefer this over the original 😀
Yes as hands down!
This performance was the very last time his mother saw him perform.He said that he gave her a show to remember always before she passed
I saw George Michael at the men arena in Manchester.. god almighty, could that man sing...
George was talented as hell.
“Talented as hell” 😂.
It’s THE George Michael you’re talking about. It doesn’t get any better than that, he is perfection.
I'm a metal guy but I've always loved his voice
Metal girl here, i love his voice to, he is on my playlists.
Late reply I know, but you would be surprised at the number of Metalheads that Love the soothing sounds of George's Angelic voice. Me being another Metalhead fan of Mr. Michael.
David Shryock good man
Truth. Me too.
Another metalhead here who's always been George Michael's fan
I adore George, his voice, his passion, his everything, this song is so heart felt, miss you George gone way too soon
Isn't George telling us the truth! That was part of his gift. You could listen to George when you were experiencing something and it seemed like he was saying I've been there too. Then you wouldn't feel all alone. That's part of his magic! He'll always be there for us because his music will always be there for us. Thanks
Simply stunning! Every note is absolutely PITCH PERFECT! Just imagine: absolutely no auto tune or all those other tricks modern singers use.
GEORGE IS SIMPLY THE BEST SINGER EVER!!!
I agree. George Michael was one of those rare singers that he could do a cover of any song and make it sound better but no one could do justice to one of his.
The very best
Elvis Presley
I'm a big George Michael fan, this is my favourite version of this song. He is a fantastic singer, but not the best singer in the history of the world!!
@@MrBjorn6 But people are entitled to their opinion though..
One of the greatest singers of all time and there ever will be.
Well I have to say the Bonnie Raitt version I've only heard, the studio recording. This version which is live may I add is impeccable. His voice is so pure silky and velvety and does not have the benefit of any editing while being in the studio. He has the best live voice ever. Absolutely flawless.
I actually read somewhere that Bonnie Raitt recorded the song in one take.... and was actually crying while singing!
Check out teddy swims version
Her smile when she FIRST sees George Michael is lovely🌹💐
GM is my favorite singer of all time.
I miss and love George Michael so much. My heart is so broken.
George Michael "Praying for Time & Careless Whisper"
"One More Try" was one of his very best too.
So many awesome George Michael songs - just perfect pitch always. I loved his personality too - always so humble and self-depreciating and gone too soon. You left some amazing music sir. RIP. If you haven't check out his duet with Elton John doing Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me'. It's so beautiful.
He was just so talented and his voice soooo smooooooth
Check out his version of The long and winding road.
George Michael is one of the incredibly few who can sing a cover better than the original!
My favorite version of this. Love George
Beautiful song. I grew up listening to George's music and it makes me sad hearing him now he's gone.
R.I.P
GM did it best....no one can touch my baby !....I miss him! X
Love George michael version ❤️
Nothing more to say really 🙏❤️👌😇
I like Bonnie Raitt. That being said George Michael sang this with so much more heart. This version is so more emotional. You can feel the hurt. George Michael easily had one of the best voices in music history.
I miss George so much. His voice is angelic.
Happy to see you did another George Michael reaction. This is a great performance.
OMG yes!!! This song, this performance. Thank you for reacting to this song. Hope to see more George Michael here.
George Michael was a masterpiece itself! He made every cover he sang it's own! His voice, his music, his looks🔥... OMG! This man was All in One! And I still miss him deeply😢💔 I am forever one of his Lovies!❤

The greatest male vocalist of all time
I cannot tell you how many times I've cried while listening to this song.
George had the most beautiful male voice I've ever heard. Absolute perfection. And as for his rendition, I feel it's supposed to be gentle, highlighting the sadness inherent in the lyrics. Gorgeous.
That voice...lost forever to us.
So sad.
This is for me the best version. George brings the track to life with the emotion it deserves. Considering this is live, his vocals are perfect. I miss you, George, sleep well you beautiful soul.
George's cover of the Beatles Long & Winding Road is truly exceptional
Always cry to this. Brings some memories back
Better than the original George nails it ... thanks India x
Yes. Totally agree. I like Bonnie Raitt but after hearing GM''s version, her voice sounds thin and reedy. To me, this will always be the definitive version of this song.

Vocal perfection. You always know who it is. His vocal ability was outstanding and so smooth as he changes octaves.
Just perfection. 💔
Georges version was better, gentle and soothing....he has such a beautiful voice !!!!!

That's George Michael.. Ladies and gentlemen
Thank you for blessing us with your talent and your beautiful voice.. Curse the problems that took you away from us..
George had the power to make a cover his own! Light smack
Bonnie Raitt who?? George took this song to a WHOLE NEW level!! I love him singing this song! He made this song his own! The man's voice is everything!! ❤️🎶💙🎼
truth!
George Michael killed this song. Did better then the original hands down. Not sure what she was talking about the other girl being better. NO WAY.
robin hawkins Bonnie Raitt is a pretty awesome singer, by the way.
Is it somehow compulsory to run down one particular version because you like someone else's?
Sean Scanlon Exactly!
One of the 80's best. Check out more 80's artist. Depeche Mode, The cure, U2, Talking Heads, REM, Devo, Tears for Fear, B52's, Simple Minds, Oingo Boingo to name a few.
Hi India
Great song choice!
My favorite of his performances is Live "Praying for Time" from American idol
Have a tissue ready
Still stunning
its not a cover its George singing the original song JESUS WAKE UP
Exactly. He released this in 1990. She released hers in 1991. #NotACover
Beautiful song. Well done
Lovely song. I hope you had a wonderful birthday! You are such a romantic at heart. I can tell.
Listen to his version of Going to a Town - amazing version xx
Such a voice
Without a doubt the best version infact the only version ❤️
I love this version. Bonnie Raitt's original is great, but George's version is pain, sadness...despair personified. His voice is so smooth, and his command over the mic is perfect here imo.
You're so right about how sometimes you have to give up the fight but sometimes the hauntings of an old love never go away .... They just want your soul until you don't exist
