also, i think the video's a commentary on sex symbols and music. if sex sells and music comes second, why not put MODELS - the embodiment of sex - on screen instead of george michael, who wanted out of the limelight? brilliant!!
George Michael, you mean? Story was back then that he hated making music videos. So he got in the habit of putting the best known models in his clips but never appearing himself.
not so much that he hated his image, but he hated both being forced to remain a sex symbol first and foremost, and to some extent i think, having to stay in the closet to sell more records. i love this song and the sentiment behind it!!
You know George, I miss this kind of music. Fun, rocking easy to listen....music. I didn't appreciate it back then, but these days...I do. Appreciation is the word. Great song.
Linda Evangelista is one of the legendary supermodels from the 90s along with Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour, and Christy Turlington.
If I'm not wrong the term "supermodel" was coined for the 6 of them.
Great answer and you are correct - these are the real "Supermodels". Linda Evangelista was and is still one of the most beautiful women on the planet! Linda could toss on a potato sack and still look glamourous. She reminds me of Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe - ultimate!
naomi campbell in this video is just perfection; an absolute goddess. she still looks incredible now, but back here in the 90s she was just *flawless*.
my dad tells me this is a ripoff of the The rolling stones - Sympathy for the devil, im telling him theyr not in any way identical, but he still bothers argh!
He is burning the leather coat while it's "in the closet". He is destroying all of the things in his previous videos that MTV used to make him this "sex symbol" for all the girls. He wanted to be free to be an artist, and gay at the same time!! He was a helluva entertainer, and has a great voice, and hell we all would have drooled over him anyway. We just would have added the old, "he is just too hot to be gay" comment!! I'm happy he finally set himself free.
This song was done so that George could come "out of the closet". If you watch the video you can see it all so clear. MTV used George Michael as a "sex symbol" in the 80's. A pretty boy to attract the young teen-age girls and keep them watching. But the whole time knowing he was a gay man. When he did this song he was telling the record label and MTV that he was finally going to be the person he knew in his heart he truly was.
I agree. The supermodels of 90's were so glamorous and real beauties. And the most of them are still looking fantastic now.
Naomi still looks like in the 80's - phenomenal.
But Linda Evangelista is my fav'! She's a raving beauty!
There are only 4 or 5 models which i think, that they're really beautifull and glamorous in this century. (Giselle Bündchen, Doutzen Kroes, Tyra Banks, Heide Klum...)!
Oh I love this video. It's my favourite music video. That was genious from George Michael to hire all the supermodels that were the most successful in his time. My favourites were Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christi Turlington ( especially Naomi ). They lokked gorgeous and so hot. I don't like Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz. They just don't look so amazing in this video. The music is also amazing. He has a great voice. What do you think?
"lol" I'm a die hard George Michael fan and yes I've been to 25 Live 3 times. I'm just fed up with the attitude he's had since the release of "patience"
An Honestly i Still think hes The best singer around nowadays like morrr said. His performance was insanely great. he puts on an Awesome show and not only tht he seems like a real nice and outgoing guy. So plz tell me What "attitude" you get from Him?
I love this video and the song is so powerful. Reminds me my childhood. But here the sound is off, and I could not find a good version on youtube. You have a great version on dailymotion where the video and sound is in sync
I always loved this videoclip and especially the main heroine in it!To my mind it's Linde Evangelista. To cut a long story short back to the sweet time to 90's!
@iliveinthepast you are SO right. He let all his fans in and told them all and only a very few got it. He was also telling everybody he wanted to make more meaningful, maybe soulful, political music that may not be so digestable on MTV. Still love ya, Georgie. Glad you found yourself.
Cause,i heard that george michael admit (when he got arrested in 1998 for "indecent act" in public toilet at the same time he came out) this song was about he struggling for being closeted gay in almost decades.
That sounds very suitable,btw
anyway,robbie williams released his first single (after "take that" officially broke up a year before) by choosing this song,
well,it all seems clear for me. robbie hardly can hide his "true colour".that doesn't surprise me
George Michael revealed himself with this song.For Robbie it means separation from Take That and freedom to be creative solo as an artist. And we all know what brilliant career he made...
I swear, if I had any lesbian inclinations whatsoever, Linda Evangelista on this video would be the one making me come out. Love the song, love the video, GEORGE MICHAEL ROCKS!!!!!
Actually they are as listed Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford And the male models are Mario Serrenti, John Pearson and Peter Formby.
These model were huge at this time the ruled every mag. stand... miss having real models on the cover of Vogue over all these "superstars"
I've checked all other Freedom 90 videos; they're all bastardized like this version! Whatever happened to copyright integrity??? What has the world become????
I wonder if people really understood what he was trying to say. He was explaining that his image was created and it was not really who he was. He was not really happy. Deep down a man can be happy only by being his true self but few have the courage to do this.
This is one of the best songs ever made...EVER!
