to wonder why everyone still thinks George Michael is so bloody wonderful???

[LottieJenkins]

I can't understand it! I have nothing against gay people I have friends who are gay, but GM was arrested for what he got up to in that toilet. Also he has been done at least twice for being on drugs whilst in charge of a car!!! He is hardly a great example!!! People still think he is great. I dont understand it!!!

Omg quintessential!!!!!! Some lunatic in asda arent they all hugged you!!!!!! Pmsl in empathy but what a great story!!!!!!!!

Quint I would say that was him. Employing a double to go and be nice to fans

What the.......?! I think people are fans of his music. Not his toilet activities.

In any event, why shouldnt his music be promoted because he's been arrested for cottaging. He's hardly beaten an orphan to death....

George Michael got me through my most sensuous teenage years. Father Figure will always be special....

I really like him! I guess some people just struggle with the law and staying inside it more than others.......

I actually like him because of the public toilet thing and subsequent 'let's go outside' video. The whole thing made me laugh.

Crashing your car whilst stoned off your tits, obviously not cool. But selling records on the back of being caught doing a spot of cottaging is ok by me.

Honestly, I love his music. I dont care who he loves. It is private, and even superstars are entitled to a private life.

I was SO sure it was him. Turning up unexpected in Asda, 11 am on a friday morning, just to chat to shoppers, write autographs, etc.

With bodyguard and all.

Do they? Who??

GM is so bloody wonderful because he is, so there!

A wonderful songwriter and the most amazing voice live. Can't wait to see him again :o

Quint, upload your pic of you and him to your profile and let us decide

I wuv big 'ev innit

The phone died. And the photos with it, I think.

That old chestnut quint

My friend and I had tickets for last December for Symphonica , so we will see him now in October. I'm so glad he's better. He sounded great with Chris Evans yesterday.

I had a lot more respect for him after I heard him in an interview not long after coming out of jail. He said it had been a real wake up call & he held his hands up to his misdemeanours & accepted that it was right to have been jailed. He was very articulate & humble. I liked him.

his dancing is always good for a laugh :o

his music has been pants for years

yeah I know what it must sound like...
I am sure the photos are somewhere, on some back up...

I love George Michael's music. Listen Without Prejudice is one of my favourite albums.

I don't care what he chooses to do in his personal life (though I hope that no one, regardless of their day job, chooses to drive under the influence) and I don't understand why anyone feels that just because a person has a career in music or acting that they must be a "role model".

Quint - That story is fabulous. It's now up there with the peacock story as one of my fave-est mn stories.

Thank you for sharing it.

YABU.

I don't think his latest single is his best work, but overall the man is a bloody genius.

He has the voice of an angel.

And he is pretty damn hot.

What's he supposed to be an example of, exactly?

It's not as if he's a vicar, or headmaster. He has been foolish (very bloody foolish) and has been to prison as punishment. He's a pop star. It's rock n' roll and all that....

I hate Paul McCartney more

Really, the Asda bit, and the hug - that was really good. But the whole double thing just makes it super-amazing-wonderful.

And I, personally, am choosing to believe it was G.M.

People who have sex with strangers in toilets and take drugs then drive usually aren't the happiest people.

I came across his version of "Song to the Siren" one night. The one he used to open concerts. It was amazing. And very appropriate.
