George Michael - First time ever I saw your face live

[Chrijz]

TBH, Matt Cardle's version of this song is much better.

[kaliki10]

Only thing George could have messed up was not keeping singing. He has beautiful voice for any song. His life is his own his music is ours :)

[pmurdock123]

watch?v=6-hS8ziOx34 check my cover of this out!!!!

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Magnific George Michael!!!

[philbill43]

Great song, great to hear a male vocalist do this. Good cover George, gets my vote :)

Check out the amazing Sarah Billington singing this as well shes only 15

There are good bad and appalling versions of this song out there.

This is exceptional, the breath control is a wonder to listen to!

I've not heard this live version, but the studio version is amazing and a beautiful example of how less is more.

Rich.

[atollado]

Happy birthday George.

[drsick2727]

UK's national treasure chose an American boy to love. 'The best of both worlds' as Pangloss would say in "Candide"

[drsick2727]

I never thought anymore could make a cover song of Roberta Flack's song with success. I was wrong. This is every much as beautiful. What a treasure this man is to music.

[nanamarietait]

Never a truer word spoken.

[cqsallie]

Roberta Flack was not the first to sing this. As a matter of face, I thought her cover sucked....

[levdt]

It is not Roberta Flack's song. It was written by Ewan Maccoll for his new wife Peggy Seeger.

[drsick2727]

It is associated with Robert Flack as it became a hit in 1969 with the release of her album First Take. I know it was written by Ewan MacColl and I have been in contact with Peggy. She has only vague memories of it. But you are right, the writer should be credited. That's why I contacted Peggy, I wanted to know the details.

[TEB1952]

levdt: Thank you. Written in 1957. Recorded in 1965 by PPM - the best cover ever. This guy is the best version I have heard since.

[grettoz]

@TEB1952

written by Ewan macColl, who was kirsty macColls dad.

[TEB1952]

@grettoz Yes. I know. He wrote it for Peggy Seger, while he was in England and she was in US. He could not get permission to enter US because of his politics. She needed a song for a production. Thus was born one of the greatest love songs ever written.

[AUBURNMERE]

wicked sog . . . dreamy

[hotgeorge44]

brings back magical memories of boston, when george sang this you could hear a pin drop and the venue was packed!! dreams do come true, thank you george for that nite, the best of me life!! xo hot!

[DaVooz]

OK but this vid you hear ppl talking ridiculous WHY post it???

it is really annoying

[verycool46]

why bother posting on here.

[hotgeorge44]

lets see cock roache you must be one of those haters, leave the site now!

[hotgeorge44]

the first time ever i saw his face was 26 years ago, and i was in love, still am, hes the best ever!

[noelinez]

Thanks for the info. I geuse the version by

Roberta Flack just has a special meaning to me

[Aardvarked88]

One of the best singers England has ever produced, hands down. He receives a lot of bad press and ignorance but his voice is absolutely incredible, up there alongside Freddy Mercury in my opinion.

[hotgeorge44]

the only thing i would change is best singer/songwriter in the world, with looks to die for!! hot!

[hedgarabito]

absolutely true.

[nanamarietait]

I agree . One of the best.

[mistyluv8]

Can't people just grow with the times and live and let live? Recognize great talent and a great voice and leave it at that. This is a beautiful song and George sang it beautifully. Thanks for posting this

[jocelynpoesnecker]

His voice is full and touching. I ask God to bless him greatly. aicp org from one who attempts to imitate Mary the mother of Jesus

[noelinez]

Does not do the song any justice - the original by Robera Flak is still the mostest!

[gijoe44]

the original is not by Robera or Roberta Flack, it was by Peggy Seeger, written by her husband Ewan MacColl.

[Constanze7799]

Love George Michael, hate the song. Sad to see there are still sooo many homophobic assholes around abusing YouTube for their hateful, twisted view of the world...

[hotgeorge44]

george sang this in boston, you could hear a pin drop, the man owns the stage, his vocals are so chillingly beautiful, i cried like a baby when it was over, but thanked me lucky stars for a nite of a life time, memories to treasure and hold!!! george is the best in the world, and the sexiest man eva!!! hot!

[deltasigmatheta4life]

I was at the concert here in Atlanta and he sung this and I almost lost my mind. He was so good! The concert was great!!! I am so glad I went. His personal life should not even matter!!! I love you George!!!! All hail to the greatest singer around today!!!

[kattoo13]

i saw him last night in concert and he sang this. made me want to cry it was so good!

[ekiousse]

just perfect !!

[idetached]

Question for origins1965. If you feel George ruined his career why so much attention to his videos. Can you answer why he is able to sell tickets in arena's and football stadiums with large crowds of people paying large sums of money to see him and he has had virtually no publicity in the US for years. It's called talent. He is without doubt a Icon and he is gaining more and more fans through Youtube. Your not spoiling it for those of us that love George. Your just sounding like an ass.

[hotgeorge44]

well said!

[Crazybob07]

FUCK U CUNT ! HES BRILLIANT !

[islandbound70]

tHE VIDEO HERE SUCKS AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ENTIRE THING....SAVE IT FOR THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE YOU POST IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[csmazer]

1) I hardly think George's bathroom escapades destroyed his career. Tickets for Life 25 literally sell out in minutes.

I don't think he's hurting for cash.

2) If he wants to flash his manhood in a public bathroom, big deal. It's certainly a lot less offensive than anything another George has done in DC for the past 8 years.

3) Talent is talent. It doesn't always come with a perfect package. Who are we to judge what makes someone tick? is anyone here so perfect? I doubt it.

[aliceje]

@origins1965 & hotgeorge44:

I do appreciate you both coming here, but I wish you'd keep your comments respectful. Please feel free to comment on my uploaded video(s) in a positive or negative way, but stop the personals attacks!

[islandbound70]

Screw you Origins....stop the peronal attacks on George Michael you closeted homophobic jerk!

[origins1965]

Screw you islandasshole70,

Practice what you preach!

You negative judgmental homo hypocrite idiot!

You Reap what You Sow!

Read it & weep Sweet Pea :-(

[origins1965]

Hey GeorgyGirl44,

You projected yourself well onto the list here for all to see. Perhaps some Tough Love Therapy from Dr Laura will help you breakthrough your insecurites, paranoia, intolerance, low self esteem, self hatred, anti-social activites, obsessive compulsive behavior, overly sensitive, & anger management is well needed. Her number is 1-800-DR LAURA. I hope you find this useful & helpful ;-)

P.S. George is waiting for you in the bathroom. Don't keep him waiting!!! :-O~

[islandbound70]

Origins you are a real jerk and a closeted homo....you need to go see Dr. Laura yourself you asshole..

[origins1965]

hey island a-hole 70, GROW UP!

Being the narrow minded intolerant hypocrite that you are, try showing some appreciation for aliceje for posting the video....silly me, respect & tolerance is not in your genetic makeup. I made an appt for Dr Laura for you. You Need Therapy!

[jacero10]

Yep, caught whoring for dick in a mens room.  Twisted. Demented. Perverted. Wicked.

[hotgeorge44]

hey jacass,i think that was you, you piece of shit!!!!

[origins1965]

Hey Jacero10

I support your comment 100%!!!

Thank God there are others not afraid to speak the TRUTH! Being Str8, gay, bi or tri is irrelevant here. Being in a men's bathroom seeking sex destroyed his career. He literally threw his career down the toilet that day.

Very sad!

GeorgyGirl is so mad wishing he was in the men's room & missed the grand performance!

Always stand for your principles fall to the mercy of the weak star struck "in crowd" like Georgy Girl has.

Way to Go Jacero10!!!

[origins1965]

This song was originally done in 1967 by The We Five. That version is really different. They had a Huge hit with You Were On My Mind in 1965. Roberta covered The First Time on her debut album called First Take in 1969. Clint Eastwood discovered it in late 1971 & included it in his thriller film "Play Misty For Me". A few months later, it was a Giant smash & the biggest song of 1972.

[Novaking1975]

Beautiful song! No doubt he did a good job on this, Roberta is good as well but it is Celine's version that really brings you to tears because she sings with such depth and heart. Leona would have to be my second. Again, just my two cents. :o)

[Souless69]

Very good, to bad he's picturing a guy when he's singing

[origins1965]

Perhaps he dedicated this song to all those men in the bathroom.

Roberta Flack & Celine Dion Rule with this Giant Classic.

[hotgeorge44]

another useless, fucked up, homophobic, comment!!!!

[origins1965]

He was arrested in a men's bathroom soliciting sex.....TRUTH

He is gay....TRUTH

Nothing homophobic about that fact.

TRUTH seems to be HARD for you to take!

[hotgeorge44]

first of all origins, get your facts straight, he was sooooo set up, being gay does not define who he is, and saying negative things about him being gay, well thats a whole lot of homophobia to me!

[origins1965]

Get your facts str8! He wanted sex for free in the bathroom. Sorry you confuse TRUTH with being homophobic.

Everyone on here has a right to his or her own opinion of musical tastes. Learn to be tolerant of others. You proved my point. TRUTH is your greatest enemy. He has not had a hit on the charts in over 10 years. Why do you personalize all of these free speech comments?

[hotgeorge44]

stick your hate comments up your loser ass!!! and the only reason he has not had a hit on the charts is cuz he was not working on anything!!! so go fuck yourself!!

[origins1965]

another obsessed hate filled intolerant asshole in love w/George......Get a Life asshole!!!

He would drop you like a hot potato!

The shoe fits, you wear it well!

TRUTH is your worst enemy!!!

Read it & Weep Sweet Pea!!! ;-)

[hotgeorge44]

origins, your such a shit head, so jealous of george michael and all of his lady's that adore him!!!!!get a life, find another site, theres gotta be something out there for dim witts!!!!

[mrc926]

great voice on this.

[hotgeorge44]

the first time ever i saw your face, i fell in love with you!!!! you are the most gorgeous man i have ever seen!!!!!

[mikeybrumbrum]

It's another good version of a great song. All versions of this are pretty good.

[hotgeorge44]

pretty good?????? how about OUTSTANDING!!!!!!

[Panos1963]

george owns another song!!!...different class!!

[BrookeMike1980]

He does it well but no one, NO ONE beats the MAN IN BLACK

[rvcrvc2]

Yawn. Doubt Roberta Flack even gave it a thought.

[kamkam127]

yeah this was a great version .. but i liked Celine Dions better

[bissikrima]

not when u hear the original Roberta Flack version !

[lololol1defuewfbrn]

he roks

[royal24]

No, he sucks roks!!!

[09dana]

George should release this as a single...he does a great job of this track!! Dee

[chablis60]

Dee, he certainly does do a great job..george is fabulous !!

[mickyabbs]

He did release it in a single called the songs of the 21st centuary. He is a vocal angel. I am a guy who is married and I love this guys voice with every soul of my heart, you will never see anyone sing like this man in our genration again thats for sure.

[hueylouieanddewey]

mickyabbs, best comment ever. ;)

[Taggle]
