George Michael's sing-a-long is the best part of this video :)

@YazooMusic I read somewhere that the bigger the homophobe, the more likely that person is in fact gay themselves. They put on that stance as a way of distancing themselves from that lifestyle. They know what they are inside, but hate themselves for it.But what does being gay or straight have to do with this awesome music?

and talking about more constructive matters:

I think this version is amazing, like it better than the actual on-stage performance.

Some people who apparently don't like certain videos on youtube seem to be spending an awful lot of time ranting and moaning about them.

Are you really that bored?! Go on...get a life.

@magical108 all these gay people here think Bowie's their poster boy while he's nothing more than an actor.

@dagoninfinite is that some deep-rooted fantasy of yours? you must be a tired evangelical....so quick to judge when you know very little.....bless ya....

Annie is a great singer but she is not Freddie Mercury...

[lukefromdownunder]

[dagoninfinite]

Oh like you all gay guys were there and fu(k3d Bowie in the arse.

You know, there is a lot of homophobia and sexism in the comments that get made on all versions of this performance. Annie Lennox is a major star, a recognized singer, and a longtime campaigner on behalf of AIDS in Africa. Who, exactly, would have been a better choice for this pairing? She and Bowie do this wonderfully in the final staged performance.
