Rob tribute is great! He shows us a beautiful soul, like George did!
Rob is fabulous!
Trouble is Elton John looks more like Kelly Osborne
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought Mrs Brown from Mrs Browns boys haha
That was crap and good at the same time.
EJ impersonator looks more like Ozzie than Kelly :):):)
😭
Rob Lamberti is so good man. What a talent
Awesome
I have seen Rob a few times and he does George proud
By far Rob is the coolest, Faithfull and original tribute to GM. His and the band slight own twist on the songs and music makes watching and listening a thrilling experience !!! All the best for 2023 !!!
Nothing is better than the real thing!!
really ??????
George was so compassionate it just hurts my heart to the core he seemed so sincere.i have a hard time trusting anymore but I do believe I could trust him until I saw for myself not to trust anymore.so young n gone way to soon.
George is the only one nobody can’t sing like him
Actually, the real George Michael would've been the first one to disagree with you, as he once went to see Rob's show and loved it.
what a great voice. and George was around then;)
Wow!! This is SOOOOOO GOOD!!!! I love them both. They are BRILLIANT. What's wrong with all the haters? I know ROB LAMBERTI is George, but who is ELTON? He's great... He sounds like 70s-80s ELTON. What's his name? I wish ROB, ELTON (whoever he is) and BELINDA DAVIDS would come to Australia in a package concert. I'd take all my family and friends to see them in a heartbeat. WELL DONE and thanks for the clip too. I want some more videos of these guys.

This guy is a good George Michael.😍
When you listen to Rob and George Michael you can't tel the difference I've played both together vlisrd7my eyes to consintrate I can't tell diferance this guy was made to carry his name on and I'm pleased we lost George Michael to soon it's like a ghost great one Rob
I think they're amazing!! Well done and spot on!!
OMG I thought they were the real people, wow amazing xx
They both are.....great singers.
What a great tribute to George Rob is the best one I've seen!
They look identical... amazing
WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!! AMAZING!!! I didn’t get to see GM… if Rob does concerts I’m THERE!
Man you have the voice incredible man thank you so much
That’s not George Michael? I’m very impressed.
His name is Rob Lamberti and he was once a finalist on Saturday night ITV entertainment show 'Stars In Their Eyes', which you can still view on UA-cam.
Rob Lamberti
Thoroughly enjoyed this performance, you're an awesome talent. I know George is proud of you.
JESUS CHRIST, ROB IS SO GOOD. he sounds the same.
i love this honestly because they have amy,whitney,george,elton,michael ect all in the same tv show!!
Jeez Rob lamberti is a truly class act
never mind ,you two guys are brilliant ,as good as the real thing . well done .
They are really good
DAMN! that was amazing!
Fantastique bravo pour le spectacle 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
George Michael's impersonator is a great singer, actually...
His name is Rob Lamberti, who hails from Scunthorpe and he's been doing his hugely impressive (and spookily accurate) George Michael tribute act since the early 90s.
He's actually performed his show in front of the real George Michael and the great man himself absolutely loved it.
Apparently, George even once asked Rob to stand in for him when he didn't want to do some promotional duties for his '25 Live' shows.
Rob Lamberti is definitely one of the very best tribute acts around and his live shows are in constant demand across the UK and all over Europe.
You definitely need a great voice to impersonate GM
that guy sounds so eerily like George Michael, but the other guy does not sound like Elton John at all.
Let’s not forget that George himself used Rob to make appearances when he was ill.
Elton looks and sounds also very good!
Goosebumps! Thanks guys Hugs n Love XX
Bloody outstanding!!!!
Yes, it´s a great tribute to our adored George Michael, but, although the name of your program is "Even better than the Real Thing," I don´t agree because there was and will be only one George Michael.
we are all born to be originals, but some stay to be copies. And George Michael will always be original.❤
George was 200 times better than anyone I have ever heard in my life.
💕Celebrating George💕
I love George loads and it's unbelievably sad he's gone but you lot saying this is terrible, I've seen far worse. Rob Lamberti is a great tribute.
Eh in your opinion, thankfully you don't speak for me
Whats with the fu**ing hovering. Singing ❤ Brilliant
Amazing and flawless George and Elton tribute and love the tribute cover of my all time favourite duet by these amazing George and Elton impersonators especially love Rob as George
Amazing
Not Better than the Real Thing !!! No one is Better than GEORGE MICHAEL💯😎
Awesome 👌 great job
Prince dancing with Ariana Grande is something I thought I’d never see😂
This is incredible!!!
Your beauty is incredible
@@RodrigoRodrigues-eb9xq Oh, comon Rodrigo...
this is incredible
This guy is brilliant
These two can SING
The impersonation is pretty good but what's lacking is something George had that nobody else had. He had such emotion and vulnerability in his voice that took his music to another level. That can never be matched. Therefore an impersonation is an impersonation, decent effort anyway.
never ever seen him a few times amazing he was
No one does George, this guy ain't bad, seen others that make you cringe.
Música excelente, linda canção 😘🙏🏼
His voice is amazing, he doesn't need to impersonate.
Unbelievable! They really sound great and look convincing!
AWESOME job Rob!!!!
Damn I'm glad the BBC decided to share this! That was Awesome!
Rob you are fantastic Well done 😍
Better that what I've seen. No music just there voice. Beautiful.
Muito bem show de bola arrasou só alegria talentos 👍🤝
Pretty good!
Not bad but certainly NOT better than the real thing.
U r 🤡
Rob killed it!!
Great stuff .....
Well, I really enjoyed that.
amazing
el mejor imitador de George Michael
I know elton is like angel
My two favs
Why the hell are there cleaners sweeping etc during performances hahahahaha
Che spettacolo 🎶
They did that!
They look spot on. Stop hating guys.
You’re correct. George Michael Rob was absolutely fantastic.
Better than the real thing for sure
Will done I appreciate all for GM
Superb Rob
There's just One George Michael.... Sorry man...
So many lookalikes is that George Michael i cannot tell. is that Elton John all a lookalike wow i cannot tell the differences
No man that's not possible omg
Omg he’s great, I’m going to see fast love tribute Saturday, this guy seems better
Son dos chicos haciéndoles tributo a sir Elton y el maestro George Michael ❤️ maravilloso
Should be called The Next Best Thing.
I don’t mind and enjoy watching other famous artists covering George’s songs
But not a fan of tribute artists/impersonators trying to cash in on George Michael’s fame
However huge respect to Rob Lamberti, he has (some) of the vocal ability, looks , swagger , of George, he was and is obviously a truly passionate fan and would have always loved George through out his career
Well done mate !
Great fan from Australia
Rip superstar nobody comes close 🙏🙌
Michael george you awsome
Wow
Nice duet
Класс 👍 👏
George is spot on and Elton looks like him, but he has 70’s sounding Elton voice, not 90’s to present
Sounds very close to what George did in the early 90's
Rob Lamberti sounds rather close to George. I've loved Yog since Wham! and I approve of Mr. Lamberti. If he really wants to get more spot on he needs to get out of the nasal area and drop his voice more into his diaphragm and throat. George had those powerful baritones when he belted out the endings of his ballads in his diaphragm especially, but he also held it in his throat to add that smoky flavor. ("But remember this... Every other kiss... That you ever give... Long as we both live... When you need a hand... Of another man... One you really can surrender with... I will wait for you... Like I always do... There's something there... That can't compare... With any other...")
Actually, in JTAC, he was mostly throaty in order to make those higher registers sound more angelic, which added to the message of that song. He did it as well in Cowboys and Angels.
It is not George but he sure as hell has a beautiful voice
Mark Anthony as Prince, also does an amazing job!!
They do a good job. Nothing better than the original of course. But I approve of the Lamberti, he does a great job and I like tribute artists/bands etc ever since I stumbled into the opportunity to see a Beatles tribute band. Being born in 1981 I obviously could have never experienced the Beatles live, but as a huge Beatles fan it was a neat seeing the tribute band. Suspending reality, I got a little feel of what it would have been like to see the Beatles.
My point exactly. First class tribute acts like Rob Lamberti are actually helping to keep long deceased artists music alive for younger generations to enjoy.
Who knows? After seeing Rob perform in one of his shows, lots of young George Michael fans might just rush out to buy dozens of CDs and DVDs of the real thing.
So, as well as thoroughly entertaining people, Rob is also promoting George's timeless music, now that he is sadly no longer here to do it himself.
This guy has a great voice, but you put him next to the real deal and there is no comparison. Ive listened to them both and George is far far superior and natural.
George should make a movie about Michael
The title of this BBC show was a little unfair to the participants! But I have seen Rob Lamberti as George Michael live and he’s fantastic
Hardly better than the real thing but pretty good
Pretty good - George anyway.
Prince in the front row!
This is very good🤩. However, nothing will ever be ‘even better’ than the original performance ❤
It's not better than real thing nobody can sing like George Michael George Michael was there so he thought of singing lihe George
He is the closest to GM. You need to clean your ear or study music mate.
Its so close its amazing
dudes got the manerisms down 😂
Yo!!!! Wow!!!!
i miss u my good giorgos ....
❤️🌟💐✨ DIVOS
