I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)

[YepaNokomis]

2:34 beeeeaaauuuutifuuul !!!

[Woolahula]

this was our first dance at our wedding, so appropriate, just gives me goosebumps - love love love these amazing guys too xxxx

[katie2333]

Aretha lost her goddaughter today probably the one voice that could equal aretha in talent RIP Whitney Houston

[LexingtonAvehull]

"Aretha franklin" IS the best EVER! female singer hands down.... there is no substitute she was a gospel singer and a true original choir singer! she had done all the hard work when she was young and boy o boy can she sing! IF god came to me and asked me "WHO" would i like to meet before i left this earth one of the top 3 people would be Aretha!...the problem with almost all the singers today is that they all sound the same and most of them dont have such strong voices! whereas Aretha Can!!

[rswpt]

I have alot of respect for Aretha Franklin, a great lady of music, G. MIchael is indeed a gifted person, has maybe the best voice in the world, and we are fortunate to see these 2 great music Icones performing a duet like this, hands down, great music, please Live forever!

Peace

[poffy8888]

I remember this song well when it first came out. It was played heavily everywhere. Huge song! Must have been nearabouts a #1 hit round the world. Michael, very fortunate to get a co-singer of her calibre. Get well Aretha, and make more songs like this and Another Night.

[xokstar3000x]

2:28 - amazing

[AJB3]

I quite liked Aretha's huskier voice during the 80s.

[farhat306]

c'est coooooool.......

[circusoflife]

no need to be-LIE-ve (ve=fe/faith)...learn to KNOW. But I didn't know that in 1987! Memories..

[macron12]

Aretha the voice of God

[Jindypops]

Keep getting well George

[Veruskach]

bellissima voce stupenda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gmlove4ever]

George Michael is so sexy, but he is gay :( Aretha & George the best duet :3

[mygoose]

Aretha has the voice of an angel and an attitude to match! Love it!

[garestv]

did this appear in a film somewhere???

[Mr6f00t]

so bad

[SuzLa1]

It won't share on facebook. 

[OkInsanity]

@SuzLa1

lmfao, agreed!

[misschristine3451]

@SuzLa1 it does but doesn't show the artist name or song title....

[sehusson]

super jaime

[Welencier05]

I didn't falter.

[XxBlackCat100xX]

all the religious freaks who dont like the fact that george is gay but still one of the sexist men alive,surely it says in the bible that god loves us all no matter who we are or what we have done so surely then god doesnt care about your sexuality

[MrDaveLogan]

@XxBlackCat100xX I would rather leave my 7-year-old son alone with one of my wife's gay friends than with a Catholic priest. Fuck you religious types. god didn't create man...man created god. If George wants a boyfriend and not a girlfriend, what the fuck's it got to do with you.

[XxBlackCat100xX]

@MrDaveLogan

excuse me ive got no problem with anyone being gay so dont swear at me

[MrDaveLogan]

@XxBlackCat100xX Sorry mate...I just re-read your comment...my misunderstanding.

[KorisnickoIme84]

Can you imagine how George's female grupies felt when they fund out..Groupie:can I suck ur d..k George? George:Umm sorry honey..hahaahahhaah

[DEVASTATOR478]

GREEATT !!!! ARETHA IS INCREDIBLE .

[madlex86]

They don't make duets like this anymore ='(

[XxBlackCat100xX]

@madlex86

very true

[cigaretteskinny21]

There is absolutely nothing, at all, wrong with being gay. And to all of you religous fanatics out there, given your ridiculous homophobic values, would'nt god have punished George for being gay if it was so wrong? But god didn't punish him. Ahh.

[XxBlackCat100xX]

@cigaretteskinny21

exactly

[mygoose]

Aretha is arguably the finest ambassador of the black woman.

[123jsbach]

why would "he" have wanted to take away his talent just because he is gay? incidentally the kind of talent that he demonstrates isnt purely a gift...he has obviously a great understanding of vocal techniques and performs with great musical understanding.

[jamiecumba]

thumbs up because you saw this on Vh1 Diva Soul 2011!!

God bless Soul!!

[jwredgirl]

A wonderful song from the time when it was a combination of incredible talent getting together to make a timeless song instead of people riding on the sucess of others.

[CFCKEITH]

Superb

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

Aretha The Queen.:)) George Micheal was at his best here.:) Great song.:))

[xcarmox]

3:50 - I love this part

[hendry3929]

[missisfreddiemercury]

[GrabarzLewicy]

george you must return!!! i wish you much health. your supporter

[Willjbooth]

When songs get few views some people complain, then when a song gets many views other people complain and boast that they liked it before it was 'cool'.

[ulcia07]

KOCHAM KOCHAM KOCHAM!!!

[luisitish]

[inasexymood]

[Boof5555]

[ssdivizion]

[SERVICECANADAGC]

[sanpieto]

He's Gay so be it. God could have done something to take away his talent but instead, he said' my son use what I have given you to shine and entertain the world.

[Boof5555]

@sanpieto and What Amazing Talent he has !!! these are two of the most amazing, powerful singing voices of all time !!!!!! No one will ever hold a candle to these two !!

[sebdelonge93]

@sanpieto f*ck off with your religious shit lol

[sanpieto]

[TheJennilo]

Yep they dont make songs like that any more, good to listen to and easy to sing a long with

[meyniak]

George George George....why did you have to see your fellow man attractive, very sad man, indeed. That aside this song was awesome and will always be! Totally nailed it with Aretha Franklin its a priceless song!

[emeraldas1984]

Quel duo!!!!!!! C bon de les écouter! Que c bon de danser dessus!!! ;-)

[sugarrey1000]

[sugarrey1000]

such beautiful singing! they look as sexy as ever! whoo!

[marcus10]

FAKE AND GAY! (He is gay, and they made him look straight, so it is fake).

[franknpop999]

@marcus10 Get grip man. What does it matter ?

[marcus10]

@franknpop999 Its a joke God damn it...

[rolybling]

@marcus10 be quiet, he is a legend, keep your homophobic bullshit to yourself.

[marcus10]

@rolybling Faggots are to sensitive I guess.

[m9davies]

@marcus10 it was the eighties, EVERYONE LOOKED GAY!

[m9davies]

@marcus10 it was the eighties, EVERYONE LOOKED GAY!

[m9davies]

@marcus10 it was the eighties, EVERYONE LOOKED GAY!

[kalicoba1947]

Magnifiqueeeee ))))

[ROMEOSANTIANO]

[sarasmilepiano]

Love George but he was totally outclassed by Aretha here, just sayin...

[annemarier27]

I love this song so much

[sugarrey1000]

God! she can sing! and george just looks sexy as ever!

[arishornet]

it has to be one of the very few youtubes videos with NO dislikes!!!!

it was about time.... great song!!!!!

[challister]

Megabrillz voices UNITE!

[bolder2009]

"I think she has a musical intelligence which is, almost metaphysical. And, I think it was her purpose in life to touch people in a way that almost no other human being ever can or will. There's her, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand and a few others. But definitely Aretha is probably my number one." - George Michael (BBC Radio 2 Interview, 2011)

[andcar121]

God can she sing or what ? What a voice.......

[pjsantosvent]

George is an amazing singer. Such passion. Such talent. Every single word has a real meaning. Everything is so easy with him, singing and expressing himself with such natural passion.

Following him, in this beloved garden of hope and afection.

I love you, George!!!!

[xxNaThUxx]

I'm in LOVE with this song! (don't care that I'm just 18 hahah)

[rohanmarkjay]

This track would be taylor made for Amy Winehouse with her soul voice Amy Winehouse does have a similar singing soul voice to Aretha Franklin. Imagine George Micheal, Aretha Franklin and Amy Winehouse singing on this track it would have been even more better than when it was made it 1986. A real soul track. I think Amy Winehouse would have loved singing on a track like this. RIP Amy Winehouse a rare talent left this world too soon.

[123mrwilletts]

old tunes never die

[Obbe79]

so wonderful

[lolobibhop]

I wasn't born at this time but damn THIS IS A PERFECT SONG with two beautiful voices!

[bestofalltimeU2]

Great song, VEVO sucks.

[kenshirothefist3000]

geoge michael is super

[Tinaloveheart]

It's a shame that classics like these get 259,427 views and some junk new songs (not all) get millions and millions. People forgot the good old 80's.

[eohare1000]

@Tinaloveheart a truer word was never spoken

[wchngliu81]

@Tinaloveheart but many of the kids today weren't born during the 80s to hear these great songs. but those that have and appreciate them, i give props to them for that. i agree with you that it deserves more views.

[deanriam]

@Tinaloveheart Why is it a shame? Naturally a new song that's on heavy rotation will get more views than a song from 25 years ago.

[banesu1]

@Tinaloveheart they dont know what is music

[annemarier27]

@Tinaloveheart Completely agree with u there

[Luppable]

@Tinaloveheart people forgot good music! 

[daniel12345678910hb]

@Tinaloveheart A least people don't dislike it :D

[eohare1000]

@Tinaloveheart i couldn't agree with you more i really don't see what the appeal of this crap today but no doubt some pussy liberal teenager will probably come along and call me a dinosaur for saying this but c'est la vie

[towarka91]

@Tinaloveheart no, it's just that this song is older - had youtube existed 25 years ago, it would have had many millions. Get over it. Older songs don't get that much airplay, younger people don't know about them. They're not too eager too look for some good old stuff.

[vrus85]

Love Sonny and Cher in the background!

[ivaylo2012]

Fantastic tune.

[mygoose]

Aretha Franklin...now that's a voice with an attitude. Maximum respect!

[tookamurs1968]

What a awsome song.

[shaynaj1980]

80s music is awesome!

[NeverEclipsed]

loooove this video! it is so simplistic but it works with the added backgrop of the great duets (,motown etc) and this GREAT duet of aretha and george. good 80's childhood memory. george kept up with the outstanding vocals of aretha! aretha, my prayers are with you.

[katopolis]

1:31 = best dance move ever performed by George Michael.



[SuperSexygeorge]

DAME IF I WAS THAT CLOSE TO GM..................... MY LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER DAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HOTTTTTTTTTTTT

[SuperSexygeorge]
