Favourite George Michael song?

[Unevenbeard]

Caught a George Michael documentary on All 4 and just reminded me what an amazing singer and songwriter he really was.
I love Cowboys and Angels, the introduction is just perfection. What's your favourite?

So many favourites but if I had to choose one right now it would be Kissing a Fool.

36 years ago today I was at the final at Wembley. They achieved so much at such a young age. Fantastic day, wonderful fun being a young teenager in the early eighties.

Sorry I can't pick just one.

Careless Whisper - the memories it evokes of a particular time in my life are precious.

Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert - just sublime. It shows the true talent and genius that George had that he could sing that iconic Freddie song so impeccably. I love watching it especially the reaction of Brian May, he knows how excellent it is. I also imagine Freddie up there somewhere beaming and saying "Alright!"

George was an incredible person and talent, so sorely missed.

Starks that rehearsal video is brilliant.

Another vote for I Can't Make You Love Me and The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.

Loved George SO much and it's hard to choose a favourite song but 'Waiting for the Day' is so beautiful. xx

THAT day!

A Different Corner. Oh his voice is so beautiful on that record.

@baldisbeautiful - I was there too, me and my friend both 15, travelled alone by coach there and back, things were different then!

Last Christmas
Don’t let the sun with Elton John

I love his cover of Wild is the wind as well

@knobblybobbly - I agree with you about Adele. Not sure about Sam Smith - miserable songs IMO.

I was meant to be seeing Adam Lambert with Queen earlier this month.

MIchael Hutchence - so sexy in voice and body. There's a great documentary about him on Netflix.

Loved Andrew Ridgeley's book. I realised that as I read it that my DH looks a lot like him. 😂

Different Corner, father figure and Careless Whisper

DH and I went to see "Last Christmas" (incredibly cheesey Christmas film) but I heard a song and had to come home (once the film finished , onvs) and look it up.

Heal the Pain.

And speaking of Good Parenting ....my DD would stop if she heard Queen songs and say "That's Freddie Mercury , he's the best singer in the world" when she was little .

Not that I encoraged her or anything but playing Queen songs in the car must've filtered in.....

AnyFucker I wish we really knew definitively what happened to George.
Yes he had fatty liver disease, but so do thousands of people walking around today.

I don’t know if this is controversial, but I hate that fucker who left him alone on Christmas Eve, then took AN HOUR to call an ambulance, then tried to blackmail George’s family to give him one of George’s London properties.
He is probably the only person who really knows the truth of George’s last hours, yet all he wanted was money.

Sorry if I am derailing.

So many to choose from!

Is anyone else waiting for a George Michael musical? It would be amazing! Surprised they haven't done one yet

@Starksforthewin you are not derailing. It is a mystery what happened to him and so very sad. I don't think he ever recovered from the death of the love of his life, Anselmo, followed shortly by the loss of his mum.

Listening to his best album, Older, tells the story I think.

I think you are absolutely spot on, AnyFucker

His love for Anselmo was so, so beautiful. Overwhelming really. I don’t think anyone else ever came close, not even Kenny.
I also think the loss of his mother was pivotal in his life. Grief caused him to seek solace in lots of ways that were ultimately bad for him.

I love that his goodness and generosity was made public after his death. He helped so many people by sharing his good fortune.

He was beautiful inside and out. He did two gigs for the nurses and I was lucky enough to be at both. If he was here I wonder how he would’ve coped with the COVID his lungs were shot to pieces after his pneumonia. I still can’t believe he’s gone. And yes that awful fella knows exactly what happened. Why was he sat in his car?

And then his poor sister did it ever come out what happened?

Club Tropicana because it’s so happy and I loved the video.

Spinning the Wheel from his solo stuff.

He is such a legend, a true icon 💗

I love everything he did but my favourite is;
“I knew you were waiting” With Aretha

It’s a song that has fitted so many different moments in my life. Leaving an abusive relationship and feeling hopeless/hopeful. Getting married to the love of my life. Fighting infertility and wondering if I would ever be a mother. Carrying my twins now and thinking they were waiting for the perfect moment x

I love all George Michael songs, but found a You tube video of him singing "The first time ever I saw your face " It was so beautiful to listen to with his mesmerising voice.

His voice can never be beaten

A different corner, it has special meaning for me.
