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

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!!!

Are you being truthful OP? Your OP suggests you might feel prejudice to me. Which is as abhorrent as racism is, to me. Just saying.

Oh, I wish he would release Song to a Siren.

I was so excited when I saw him at Wembly, I didn't really take in what he was singing when the concert opened. I can't find any quality recordings of him singing it...most on YouTube are really scratchy.

Oops. Sorry, OP, I was temporarily mesmerised by Quint's story.

I think the answer is the one provided by another poster: it's the same sort of thing the People's Princess (and Judy Garland) had going for them. And thingy ... the one with the violet-coloured eyes, who married a lot ... actress ... played Cleopatra ...

Liz Taylor.

Liz Taylor.

And fgs he had sex in the toilet about 20 years ago! Its time to get over it.

Anyone looking to pop stars to set a good example is missing the point - they're supposed to take drugs, drink too much and have lots of sex!

God help us if all pop stars start behaving like Cliff bloody Richard or Westlife , how boring!

People are like that when it comes to famous people.

I am not predjudiced in the slightest!

Cliff needs to come out of the closet, he's nearly in bloody Narnia.

You know, maybe it really IS worth paying shitloads of money to listen to people you really like.

I am sort of scared of crowds. I had tickets to the A-ha concert, in my town, when I was 17. I did not go.

I COULD have gone to see 50 cent a few years ago, but opted out, and last year Jamiroquai, one of my musical heroes were playing in friggin arctic Tromso, and I did not go. Now I am back in London, I should make a point of seeing artists I really like.

I went to the N.E.C to see A-Ha yonks ago and there were about 200 people and thousands of empty seats. I know!!!! Good concert though.

Well, I got my ticket today and I can't bloody wait for September! I love him. He is the best singer we have. He is kind. He is generous. My friend lives near him and he puts all the Christmas lights up on the trees down their street every year plus, I will never forget the free gig he did for nurses. Twice.

quintessentialshadows your friend was just jealous, of course it was him...

Yabu.
I love him.
So there!

especially if you were in muswell hill sainsburys or somewhere like that.

No, Asda on the A3....

I'm not sure he's actually real.

His life reads like a film.

Young lad on dole shoots to fame, splits with band -has amazing solo career. Has secret affair with Brazilian fashion designer,Mum dies of cancer, comes out of closet, has sex in public toilet, drives car into snappy snaps and does lots of other bad driving goes to prison goes on world tour becomes very ill and nearly dies bounces back and continues world tour.

Oh, and didn't some fan live under the floorboards of his London home once?

I mean, you couldn't make this up. But who would play him in "George Micheal The Film?" No one else is as lush.

Op - how old do you think his fans are? I would suggest past the age where they'll be influenced by his behaviour.

I'm the right age to remember Wham and I like Gm but I'm not tempted to drive stoned because I'm a fan, honest!
