Give me George Michael rather than George Clooney any day!!! Don't give a shit if he's gay! Don't have a chance with either anyway so wot the hey!!! Dream away!
Most artists murder other peoples music. George, however, has the knack of being utterly convincing at virtually everything he chooses to sing from other artists back catalogues. He could probably sing Britney or Bieber and make it sound believable.....
@davitdavit87 Have listened to Tom Waits but sorry to say it sounds very contrived. An attempt to override substance with style, which didn't quite come off. Sounded a bit like Louis Armstrong, with overtones of some infliction caused by smoking too many cigarettes. Each to his own, but definitely not what I'd call music.
George Michael - still my fave after all these years. I just performed ROXANNE and BROTHER CAN YOU SPARE A DIME the other night. Check it out if you like. Go to my channel.....it's the first video...well, audio only. Enjoy!!!
I checked out a dozen versions of this song, from 1931 through now. It is not an easy song to sing well. George Michael knocks it out of the park. The best version I've ever heard.
@emissaryofdark Same here! I was there at Ned Aid at Wembley Stadium as well!! :D Was one of the best live concerts I've been to in terms of atmostphere and overall line up. This song in particular was a highlight of the day - it doesn't come across fully in the video, but I remember that the sheer power of his vocals here really reverberated through the stadium and it actually made a shiver go down my spine! Great memories.
I love this version but my grand parents at the age of 78 insist that Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee were the best at it. So I argued about it but they seem to only relate to Crosby & Vallee to make them bring back the memories of Great Depression. Maybe there will be someone else covering this song when I reach 78 and I'd tell my grand kids that George is the best just like my grand parents said their preferences to me.
I've heard a Bing Crosby, Tom Waits, Al Jolson, and even a Tiny Tim version of this song and I loved them all in their own way. Nothing against this guy's voice, but I just don't feel the lyrics when he sings them. Not authentic at all.
@rickyreypr I suppose, to each his own. To me, songs are a) about feeling b) about lyrics and after that, a good voice. After that, instruments. I'm sure others mix it up differently. And I mix it up differently depending on areas of excellence. At the same time, think there's little room in the singing of covers, especially standards, without intelligenty interpreting lyrics. Michaels apparently didn't take the time to understand the song.

As a singer he's very, very good...but he has no class; someone really ought to introduce him to a razor and a decent tailor (not to mention getting rid of that dog chain around his neck).
Praise to the live editor on this one! The camera angles are EXACTLY what we want! Good old close ups of the most gorgeous man in pop! And what a set of lungs haha! See you in August George xxx!
Someone posted the performance of Fast Love for the NetAid event on here, but took it off very recently....could anyone post it again?! Thanks in advance if it's possible, I ADORED it!
Only one word: Perfect.
