I love the dance remix of this song. This song pretty much describes my relationship with the woman who is now my wife. The "amazing" thing is that we met around the time this song was released. I love all music but I have been a fan of GM since "I want your sex" came out in the 80s. I dont care if hes gay, I like his music.
On December 24 at 8:00 in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed into myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repost a chain letter. If you don't repost this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. Sorry don't want to die
Also, at 0:54, you can actually see him think and "work" on the note. And, one doesn't even need to "listen carefully" to hear the backing singers are terribly singing out of tune.
Folks, he's just a REALLY GOOD SINGER. Relax and enjoy the performance and connect with the wonderment of someone who came into life with such a gorgeous gift. By the way, if you've got a good ear, you can even hear George go a bit flat at 01:47 or so.
@FredericaBimble george is a great singer......check out george on "unplugged"......his background singers are incredible........Queen asked him to replace Freddie, thats worls class there baby and thats what George Michael is 1st class act
To those who are saying he is lip synching. No, he is singing live but most people are so used to lousy singers (nowadays) who can't carry a tune so it is, reasonably, assumed that when someone sounds THIS tight, they too must be lip synching. He isn't here but he is in a few other videos on Youtube. Listen carefully at 3:22 and you can hear and see the moment where the harmonising occurs with the backing singers. Also, he is relaxed and not struggling to keep up with the recorded voice.
Finally! I've been combing these live performances to find one where he's singing live and I've found it. The backing singers are struggling a bit but ol' George is like a singing machine. What a gorgeous voice. The song makes me tear up everytime I hear it. The words describe such a feeling of relief for the person singing them that it's hard to describe "why" it is so emotional - happiness and memories of being scared of allowing the "amazing" in again, I suppose.
GM is definitely singly live. But it is a tribute to him that people think he is singing so well that he must be lip syncing. He is absolutely fabulous.
George is not lacking talent, that is for sure. My friends his class, and talent are definetly beyond amazing. Anyway lipsyncing is one of his favorite things to do and he is good at it! so singing with the record just adds stereo surround I believe. lypsyncing is allowed out of 30 years of busting your ass touring and giving all you got!
I'll admit straight up that I'm not the smartest guy by any stretch of the imagination, but if he's not lipsyncing, how come you can hear his own voice in the back vocals? I side with dukeleopard on this one. On a different note, I sincerely hope he defeats his demons and perhaps reconsider his decision to no longer tour.
This is another time where GM was actually NOT singing LIVE. He had a cold, very similar to on American Idol, but since this was the 1st release from CD he had to sing it. Harder to sing LIVE. He did in concert that I saw 3 times and was fine.
I played (well mimed) guitar for GM on this performance - He was definitely singing live - ALL the vox were live - everything else was mimed(lip-synched) to you American cousins- sorry you'll have to take my word on it.. it was quite a thrill at 8 AM to have GM singing live in the earpiece we were wired up to - my 15 mins or fame- there you go!
I've seen George live 3 times and can tell you he is not lipsyncing just look at any of the live tapings at his shows. he is amazing, actually its a compliment to him that you think he's lipsyncing!!
I don't think he's lip synccing. I saw him in San Diego live 1-2 years ago and he was kick ass! The best singer I've ever heard by far. He was totally awesome live- even better than his CDs!
this is lipsyncing, no matter what you say. I just don't understand why he does that, it's so cheap. He's a great singer but he could never sing this song precisely as it is on the album and why should he?? Live performance is about variation, creativity, not lipsyncing. Don't do it again George!
I can tell you as as a fan I've heard the single a thousand times and that is NOT it, you can tell he is singing live cause he momentarily sings flat for a line - which all live artists will do now and again.
I think George is still a very handsome and very sexy man. He definitely has aged. You can tell by the lines in his neck, but aging is something we can't control. We will all age. The ony thing we need to do to accomplish this is to keep living. What is more important than his appearance is his sheer talent. He has amazing vocal ability and is a fantastic "live" singer. In his old videos he relied on a lot of fancy dance moves. Now that he's older, he lets his voice/songs do all the work
if you want to talk about some one lip syncing all the time....talk about Brittany (sic) and her concert....George is well worth his weight in gold with the voice to prove it!!! Did you go to "25Live"????
hey buddy, this man doesn't lipsync all the time at all. George is one of the great live singing artist well known for his good quality performances and voice.
he is so hottttttt gosh i love his sexuality so sweet hot ... sing it george, sweetest... turns me right on hunnn, i'm not guy just hot for him....... female
I don't care if GM is straight or gay doesn't bother me! All I know I have been a fan of GM since I was a teenager in the 1980'. THE BOTTOM LINE! THE MAN CAN ROCK! ROCK ON GM!
why do so many seem to feel the need to define themselves as gay or straight? it is a lil trivial to me to have to say "im straight and even I like GM" (or something to that effect)
This song reminds me of the carefree life I had as tour guide on Pacific Voyager - a cruise liner back in the 80's. It was the "easy life", a time of champagne, wine and celebration. A time to meet many different women and have many tropical holidays with them on remote islands in the pacific. A time to drink pinacoladas and forget about financial troubles. A time to bang as many hos as you can. A time to gamble money and make big winnings.
always delivers from the heart he is just brill. from wham days very good looking, why should he care the proof is in the pudding. the most important woman in his life was his mother respect how many men can say that. we love u george thats wot matters
you ppl need to get over your homophobia; most of you straight guys aren't attractive enough to get a second look from gay guys and not every gay guy wants to f--k every guy that walks the Earth. No, I'm not gay and yes I've been hit on by gay men. Happily married with kids. Get over yourselves! He is an excellent artist; in fact, most great music is from non-American singers.
precisely ! why are the so called straight men so concerned of another man is gay or not ? they should be happy, it leaves more women free for them ? sounds like they just want any excuse to start bullying people . aggressive idiotic thugs.
I agree with everything you said except for most great music coming from non-American singers. Are you kidding? America has amazing singers and musicians. At least we used to....
When i hear a brilliant song the first thing i think of is whatever emotion the song delivers me, not the bleeding sexuality of the singer. Come on people , give it a rest with HIS sexuality and concentrate on the great artistry .
George Michael is one of the best voices in the world. Funny but almost all English musicians and singers are the best. I do not care if He looks bad or not. He is a wonderful singer. He reminds me Freddy Mercury. If He is sick, it is too bad for all of us.
george is a legend in my books but ill put a million quid on this song not being sung live!!!! Makes no difference to me but I though I would tell everyone.
I have known george michel songs since i was 12 so i can garantee you that this song is live and there is absolutly no background playback its live and its a bit you can hear that its not in order but thats what live singing sound like ....
I believe what is going on for this performance is actually a combination of live & lip syncing... this is usually do to production issues (accustics, cost of back up orchestra, etc.). What happens is that they play the recorded version and he sings over it (live). Having seen George perform live... I can assure you that he really IS that Good.
he has an amzing voice- is great but seems to lip sync on tv performances. listen to the fade out at the end- its exactly like the recorded version. on stage though- WOW!
i am hairy man 49 year married this guy has always and always will bring joy to me god bless and good health george
