Fascinating...I knew George was smart but not as outrageously smart as this! The interviewer comes over as a petulant child, and George tears him to shreds!
@@alcameron6071 The interviewer did his job and did it well, there was no easy let-up for George and rightly so. Besides, George was able to handle it perfectly. I think the interview was very good hence why we all enjoyed it so much. That interviewer would do the same for someone in politics and didn't "dumb down" his questions because George is "just a Pop singer". Great interview. I wonder what he would be saying about 2022! George for Prime Minster!!
Wow, George is impressive, informed, especially poised and able to rebuff Sebastian's bullying. Intelligent man with strong convictions. Why does it take a death to appreciate someone fully? Thank you George for all your stellar contributions to this world, RIP.
A great interview which showed George Michael as a deeply thoughtful, intelligent and caring person who put principles above his music career. He was the full deal. RIP
After watching this, I am more convinced than ever that George Michael is the perfect human being: immense talent, drop dead gorgeous, a heaven sent pitch perfect voice, an awesome bod, an inspiring musical and lyrical composer, kind, thoughtful, generous, intelligent and as proven here, very knowledgeable politically and could certainly stand his ground, all the while maintaining his honesty and moral principals. WHAT AN AMAZING MAN!! I LOVE YOU GEORGE.
I never realized how intelligent and articulate George was - above all his integrity and honesty are only matched by his talent as a songwriter and singer. God is George missed!!
His lyrics that he wrote showed how intelligent he was. Sensitive people are usually intelligent...The guy was gorgeous drop dead gorgeous, beautiful soul, talented & very intelligent...A huge loss to the world when he passed.....
This was a fantastic interview. George sure held his own and then some. The interviewer did not give George a break. At this time 2021 George was absolutely correct. Thank you for posting this.
Another great point made talking about artists today! And he called out Band Aid 2 before the terrible Version in 2014. George was so honest and down to earth what a star! Missed all over the world
he was a genius. I love how he expressed him self in such an eloquent and intelligent manner. a very well informed man he will be missed. I wish I had people like that to talk to rather than the blind sheeple I'm surrounded by.
I understand that george is missed, but do not asked God to let him to come back. He has done what we all got to do one day. All the garbage of yesterday has no meaning . His life style was his everybody has done something wrong that dose not make a person any less it just make us pay more attention to what we say and do. His music is the best so just enjoy.
George had an aura and intelligence of a higher being, which enabled his creativity, sensitivity, and beauty. Thank you George for your music and generosity. One of a kind!
That interviewer was terrible even by BBC standards. Asking questions then not letting him fully answer, cutting him off and doing the same with other questions. George was a class act throughout and this shows he was a man of principle.
YOU GO GEORGE!!! Mr. Normand below states it perfectly..."GM continues to be so far ahead of his time." I am so tired of people trying to cast him in a negative light, giving no credit for his intelligence and commitment to a fair and just society.
The sad thing is that if George had never got in to taking drugs, i think he would still be here. An extremely intelligent man, thoughtful and caring and without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most talented artists of all-time. Still missed
Very intelligent, George held his own and didn't sweat the questions. He can speak politics well. I wish he can speak out now, the politicians need someone as intelligent, esp the dummy's here in america.
I love this! GM sounded FEARLESSLY OUTSPOKEN, INTELLIGENT, ARTICULATE, AND HONEST here! I admire GM's bravery and honesty in this vid. He gave that interviewer a subtle 'FUCK YOU' to his face! R.I.P. Gorgeously Magical George Michael.🌷
I wish I saw this at the time but only discovered it tonight. George was well versed on the topic and held his own quite well despite the numerous attempts to shut him down. Absolutely was soo proud of him for holding his own. Loved this!
such a smart man would make you wonder why he was so self destructive RIP you will be missed, I have never had any other death of an artist affect me this way, what a good human being
Thanks for the upload I didn't know how articulate & intelligent GM was and he was in head of his time in politics because he was so right,and I enjoyed watching him smash the reporter,lol! So thanks very much!
1,2 and 3 absolutely great. A new and ever more interesting side to George Michael. I'm blown away. Most celebs at his fame and talent would never dare sit there and have an intelligent conversation. U da man George. San Jose 08 was AMAZING!! Thanx 4 posting!
@Olivia Purcel Agreed. I also feel as of late that some have to help forward an agenda that favors the godless. Some Celebs are intelligent but i think are barred from saying anything for fear of losing everything. GM didn't give a F!
What a great interview, Yog handled himself well here and came across well read and informed. A great loss to Music and society that he passed away young.
George was wise beyond his years.. His lyrics soulful and heart felt from day one. He was and remains the ONLY entertainer from 1982- present day that not only had legitimate and natural talent, big heart, old soul and an absolute beautiful man inside and out.. no one like him... I hate that he got so much crap from news and tabloids.. just goes to show he was a threat or they would not have hit at him so hard
I intensely dislike this style of interviewing as it's confrontational instead of inquisitive, but I love how strong George was here. He was a brave and good man.
George really wrapped that interviewer up George had him wrapped up made him look an idiot George was entitled to his opinion he was very articulate in his arguments and put his case forward very well well done George
I've been a fan since childhood on a musical level, but now I truly admire George because he prooves he's so in touch with other things that surround him; I could not agree with him more on his comments. And of course, calling Noel Gallaher what he IS was great ant true.
True enough what George's said. Look what happened to Iraq n Syria now AND it links to Palestine. I would smack the interviewer with the Balfour declaration!
What an idiot. George is talking war with such passion the dope interviewer asks are you tired of the music industry! I had a good laugh along with George
George Michael was spot on all the way through, very much ahead of his time. I expected a lot more intelligent and less agitating approach from Hard Talk.
Great way of thinking of George Michael....i see his brain and intelligence and i do not care if this was said by a gay. I love people like him with great intuition about people and life.
Non voglio essere cattiva, ma maledico tutte le persone che ti hanno fatto tanto male perché hanno reso la tua debolezza la loro vincita. Tu non dovevi darcela per vinta George perché la tua intelligenza a loro dava immensamente fastidio, ma a noi serviva per averti qui con noi. Un sorriso meraviglioso come il tuo dove lo troveremo più?. E la tua intelligenza addirittura anche nella politica di indovinare ciò che sta succedendo in questi giorni?. Come mi manchi terribilmente George. Sei stato il compagno della mia gioventù e oltre fino a quattro anni e nove mesi fa. Sei sempre nel mio cuore. ❤❤❤
I bet the interviewer was saying "Bloody hell, this bloke is ridiculously handsome, super talented and bloody smart as hell and I can't outwit him"!! Lmbo...
Goerge really kept himself in the fight here so to speak, he would not let that interviewer get to him and wear him out. As for George's assessment of the music industry amongst the war debate, it was incredibly spot on and real. Especially the self-destructive behaviour of USA youth culture. We don't have "artists" that sing from their own experience or hearts and minds. We have is hired performers, actors, pretenders acting as "pop" or music stars.
So the interviewer calls George "Mr Michaels" at the end. Shows how much journalistic work the reporter has done! George slapped his baldy head verbally! RIP George, we're with you x
Thank you George for standing up for righteous thing with intelligent, smart and kind words on this subject. This old fart calling himself interviewer can go and sit in the toilet and do a business over there. We love you George❤️. The world has been left with a big hole without you here😥. Rest in peace beautiful man🙏✝️💔
He was right. Look what invading Iraq and dealing with Saddam at THAT TIME has done now. It's given terrorrists ammunition to have a reason to attack again and again. GM was right. Bless him.
ha ha!george whipped him!that interviewer thought he was going to show him up as some shallow,arrogant,publicity grabbing popstar,everything george is not,hes a intelligent,grounded and humble person!
Never thought GM was smart in international affairs issues. Although this intvw took place long long time ago and I just ha d a chance to listen to it, gotta accept he did well in dealing with difficult questions.
I think so, too !! Makes me angry when the interviewer kept interrupting George n not letting him finish answering the questions. George still responded politely and respectfully til the end. Such a wellspoken and caring gentleman and a gifted artist whose musical legacy will live on in the hearts of us, fabs around the world. 💟
big man George Michael! uniquely immense in everything he did! they persecuted him, we will never forgive you! he will remain a lion and you will always be dogs!!!!
George always had a sense of knowing. I think he was very aware of so many things, almost on a different wave length. This all contributed to him seeing the world differently. So many of George's lessons, less is more, breaking the barriers of racism, gay issues, hiv education, love knows no boundaries, being the complete teacher. I really feel all his song lyrics turned into all the songs for me (us). Its like all the songs lyrics are reversed. Its this feeling i get from listening to his songs that they were about his life but now the roles are switched and he is the Jesus to the child. Do you get what i mean?
After he died, his boyfriend Kenny said on a British TV interview that George was eerily good at predicting what would happen (and he even predicted that Trump would win, which even Trumo's campaign didn't think.) . I think he had an innate ability to understand people and culture and that was part of the reason he was able to work the public over so he became so popular and that after he stopped doing that and much later started doing interviews again when he was older, that his innate sense about these things came out when he talked about substantive issues like politics and war.
HE WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME AND FULLY AWAKE. HIS JOB WAS SUCCESSFULLY DONE HERE ON EARTH, SO HIS PURE SOUL WAS CALLED BACK UP❤️THANK YOU, GEORGE! I DO MISS YOU, EVEN THOUGH I NEVER KNEW, WHAT A BRILLIANT MAN YOU WERE OR ARE.... 😢
Calling him psychic is a disservice to his intelligence. If he was ‘eerily accurate’ it’s because he was intelligent and well read which would give him a great understanding of how global politics work. I hope the interviewer walked away with some new found respect.
#GeorgeMichael was brave for speaking on this matter, esp since he was subjected to much ridicule for his personal matters, which wouldn't have been the case had he supported the other side. It's unfortunate though that, whilst standing up for rights for same sex-attracted ppl, he couldn't acknowledge the problem of drugs & sex & its detrimental effects on the gay community. The "ape heterosexual relationships" comment is wild....I mean, this guy used to be in hetero rel'ships. #hardtalk
Fascinating...I knew George was smart but not as outrageously smart as this! The interviewer comes over as a petulant child, and George tears him to shreds!
Interviewer was a typical smug ass Britt! George had him for lunch.

What an intelligent, talented, articulate man. Such a loss xx
One of the best
George as the intelligent prophet. It turned out he was right. God I miss him.
So do I.
me too !

Always liked Georges intelligence. Could listen to his views for hours

he will be missed. I wish I had people like that to talk to rather than the blind sheeple I'm surrounded by.
Same
😂😂😂😂 you're funny😂
wonderful, wonderful man. very intelligent and not afraid to put himself out there for the right thing. you will be missed dearly.
very intelligent, good and beautiful person. we miss you George, please come back!

what a top bloke George was, wished he never passed away.A big loss 😞
George Michael, a beautiful man. Miss him terribly.
YOU GO GEORGE!!! Mr. Normand below states it perfectly..."GM continues to be so far ahead of his time." I am so tired of people trying to cast him in a negative light, giving no credit for his intelligence and commitment to a fair and just society.

Well said

damn ... he was so amazing
I wish I saw this at the time but only discovered it tonight. George was well versed on the topic and held his own quite well despite the numerous attempts to shut him down. Absolutely was soo proud of him for holding his own. Loved this!
such a smart man would make you wonder why he was so self destructive RIP you will be missed, I have never had any other death of an artist affect me this way, what a good human being
George....Is/Was the most erudite Singer/Songwriter of all time. Quality.
He was so well spoken...
Passionate in his speech as his singing, loved hearing him in both capacity. Rip George ♥️
He is so sharp, as well!
Thanks for the upload I didn't know how articulate & intelligent GM was and he was in head of his time in politics because he was so right,and I enjoyed watching him smash the reporter,lol! So thanks very much!

he will be much bigger in his next life.god bless G.M
Thank you so much Geoge Michael.
Fantastic interview with compelling arguments from interviewer and interviewee. If only they'd listened back then...........
GOD BLESS YOU GEORGE YOU SAW THE SITUATION EXACTLY AS I DID
NOTHING HAS CHANGED AND NEVER WILL
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE UNTIL WE ALL MEET UP AGAIN
What a great interview, Yog handled himself well here and came across well read and informed. A great loss to Music and society that he passed away young.
I miss him so much! I wish he was still here! A huge loss in the music industry. Brilliant Man ❤️
George Michael is completely correct about the majority of 'artists' in the charts today.
George was wise beyond his years.. His lyrics soulful and heart felt from day one. He was and remains the ONLY entertainer from 1982- present day that not only had legitimate and natural talent, big heart, old soul and an absolute beautiful man inside and out.. no one like him... I hate that he got so much crap from news and tabloids.. just goes to show he was a threat or they would not have hit at him so hard
Exactly. They needed to shut him up because he was linking things together
Top man! Well missed!
A creative genius , so clever & articulate so kind and caring a true peace maker 💗💗💗
Who else thought George wanted to smack the interviewer??
and dirty his hands in the process ?
not George! he was too classy for that !
@@amfanakaguccirushgirl9686 HE DID! BUT HE DOES IT WITHOUT THE USE OF VIOLENCE!
GOODNESS, THE GUY SURE WAS AWAKE!!!
Absolutely brilliant ❌❌⭕️
its 2015 nd GM is still spot on.
Exactly
I intensely dislike this style of interviewing as it's confrontational instead of inquisitive, but I love how strong George was here. He was a brave and good man.
And notice the interviewer NEVER answers any questions George asks him, just continues badgering away at George, who literally destroys this ass!
It was as if he was on trial!
God, this man is a fucking badass.
George really wrapped that interviewer up George had him wrapped up made him look an idiot George was entitled to his opinion he was very articulate in his arguments and put his case forward very well well done George
He was always ahead of his time
Say it everyday. 2023.

him and diana would have made great team,two hearts of gold miss you both..
Dude spits fire
I bet the interviewer was saying "Bloody hell, this bloke is ridiculously handsome, super talented and bloody smart as hell and I can't outwit him"!!
Lmbo...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂right?
And he was absolutely right, 💯‼️🆘 So wish I would have heard this then, knowing what I know now.
Typical brainwashed BBC presenter, now watch them bam
George up after his death, . RIP George talented, witty, educated big loss for 2016

We love you George❤️. The world has been left with a big hole without you here😥. Rest in peace beautiful man🙏✝️💔
Yesssssss George!!!
Highly intelligent man. Passionate and gorgeous
Smart!!!
George schooled the bully
George was right. About everything.
He was right. Look what invading Iraq and dealing with Saddam at THAT TIME has done now. It's given terrorrists ammunition to have a reason to attack again and again. GM was right. Bless him.
i live in Ameica but George was so right. can i go live in Britain?? : )
He foretold ISIS etc ! How many people were doing that back then ? George was brilliant.
the interview is disgusting poor George we miss you and we love you
I miss George !

numero uno
jaaajaa I love you G.M. very intelligent person
when he called him George MichaelS I wanted to scream
Valentina Rossi he actually changed his name legally, so it is his real name...this bafoon would never be able to say his birth name..
@@funkymonkey299😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A bright mind, with passionate involvement, talented, sensitive, surely a minority phenomena
big man George Michael! uniquely immense in everything he did! they persecuted him, we will never forgive you! he will remain a lion and you will always be dogs!!!!
Now DID Sebastian actually end this conversation calling him George Michaels?
Yes he did.
"I am hoping that there will not be Band Aid 2"!!!
Wow that's outrageous ...
His well out spoken which is healthy and true what's wrong with the powers that be why are they wanting to destroy everyone ?
@bjornsiborgsi hahahah! your right!!
george gave as good as he got!for the publicity!...please!
George could have worked as a psychic.
George always had a sense of knowing. I think he was very aware of so many things, almost on a different wave length. This all contributed to him seeing the world differently. So many of George's lessons, less is more, breaking the barriers of racism, gay issues, hiv education, love knows no boundaries, being the complete teacher.

Wow never heard this side of George, makes me have a lot of respect for the type of person he was, genuinely like George, RIP dear heart
Calling him psychic is a disservice to his intelligence. If he was ‘eerily accurate’ it’s because he was intelligent and well read which would give him a great understanding of how global politics work. I hope the interviewer walked away with some new found respect.
Excuse me for a minute, but every time I see George stick his tongue out like @1:28, it does something to me....just sayin' 🔥❤

All I have to say is he definitely was no dummy. I would have hated going toe to toe with him. He. Was definitely not an airhead.
It's nice to hear this talk now. When american's lie is obvious and they lost the war they've started.
