Rick Parfitt & Francis Rossi present Wham! with the Best British Group Award Acceptance speech from Wham! Load more videos and photos available on BRITs.co.uk
It is a pity there is no time machine, I was born in the 93s, and I envy those who went to concerts and caugh that wonderful era of Wham! and other cool bands! Now it’s hard to find such masterpieces and people like George. He was beautiful externally and internally, I love him, he is an ideal.
Definitely, I was born in ‘95 and I’d give anything to travel back in time to live those times ! And George was definitely one in a million , a legend !
Agreed.Wham era was commercially successful maybe,but in aspect of artistry,George reached epitome of beauty.And i think he is the most misunderstood and underappreciated artist of all time.He is simply the best❤️

What a time to win a Brit for best group, look at who they were up against U2, Queen you name it they were absolutely brilliant and the singer/songwriter George turned out to be is 2nd to none. RIP George best talent I ever had the pleasure of seeing xxx
Wham! definitely deserved the award! George's singing and songwriting skills were unparalleled. Not to mention how cute he always looked! Great to see clips of George and Andrew in the Wham! days....so young and happy.
Well Wham! had released Make It Big in 84 which was a mad succes with legendary songs like Careless Whisper, Last Christmass and Everything She Wants (and other great ones like Freedom and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go). Im not trying to say that Queen were not as great, it was just that Wham! had a season for the ages, that actually ended up defining their career and this is why they won, something that makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes when someone is in the zone, you just cant get them out of there. Well they broke up a little later so....
Джордж Майкл, ты наше солнышко! Ты в нашем сердце! Помним и любим! Талантливый, добрый, замечательный музыкант ! Слушаем твои песни и остались одни слёзы! Новый год и Рождество всегда с тобой!
going to miss you George Michael's .you were my mentor,your music and style.I always sing your songs ,you are never forgotten. Andrew, I still love your last album and I'm waiting for you to do another one.WHAM!
Ha Staus Quo "gave up" touring in 1985 😂 . Loved the Wham outfits, George went on to become a global star, someone iconic but here its really fun and nice to see him so young and almost bashful in getting that award
So sad that George MIchael and Parfitt died the same year!! And here they are joking on stage ..... RIP GEORGE & PARFITT ..... fucking legends. Both of you. Gone too soon. RIP.
Una serie di nominations pazzesca!!😱😱😍😍😍per me potevano vincere tutti, hanno invaso la mia infanzia di canzoni pazzesche, stupende, felicissima di aver potuto vivere gli anni '80, oggi mi rendo conto che è stato un privilegio
Awards were at start of year, and Queen had a revival after their Live Aid performance in summer 1985. Queen won Outstanding Contribution Award at the Brits in 1990.
Wham beat out U2 and Queen :) They were all really good bands. It just goes to show that music was better in those days, imo. Nowadays if I see a nominees, I may only maybe like one out of them or none at all, and that the truly have talent.
So queen was in it and wham won ..as much as I loved wham back then and not so a queen fan apart from live aid ,I proabbly thought at the time yesss as loved Andrew and that pop music ,but now I think, they won over Queen .!! .
Andrew was definitely the good looking one and had the hutzpah. See his animal energy on Wogan when he walked on wearing a cowboy hat. Yum. He’s been living off Careless Whisper royalties for decades.
Not one cheer when they were announced with all the other groups in that section :O With U2 and Queen having the most cheers, ah I guess Wham appealed to the very young of that generation like so many groups today. Really lovely looking back
Bono said that he had taken George to try to find the volleyball named Wilson but George set Bono's car on fire.. Of course Bono is not gonna say anything nice about him. 🐹🐹🏃🏃🏃🏃🍭🍭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚗🚗🚗🚕🚕🏉🏈⚾⚽⚾⚽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
Does anyone know what an audience member shouted at them and who it was and why their faces suddenly seemed serious and sad? It looked like George's euphoric bubble was suddenly burst. Poor kid. I wonder if whatever was said was reported by journalists afterward.
Omg they won against Queen and U2...legends!!

Same here except I was born in 2009 :(
Definitely, I was born in ‘95 and I’d give anything to travel back in time to live those times ! And George was definitely one in a million , a legend !
Yes!! Completely agree. I was born in 98'. I would have loved to see them perform and be in their era.
Saw them in concert, 2nd row. George was amazing!
Wham was the first concert I ever went to. I was in middle school at the time.
Classic George Michael who never forgot to thank the fans! These were the days of real music as look at that lineup of nominees... unbelievable.
Very few artists mention the fans/ punters. George was so gracious and kind. Most are like Andrew only care about themselves.
Being so shy made George a more special musician. Look how shy he looked but actually he was the owner all that magic.
George Michael, the human Ken doll. A dashing smile and luscious golden locks.
And without any plastic surgery
I liked his look later. Dark hair and becoming a man.xx
Yes but his hair was dyed. Unlike Ken whose hair was painted on.
Whaaaammmm!!!!!!! They so deserved the prize
I LOVE SEEING GEORGE SO HAPPY HERE
The world ain't seen nothing yet!
His solo-career was beyond good... It was fantastic!

Andrew ridgeley was sharp and good looking as well. They had fun and remained friends, that's the main thing.
I didn't have George's pinups on my wall. I was an Andrew girl. :)
George looked so young, happy care free, excitable and so good looking. RIP George ♥️
Music was great then. And george had one of the best voices ever
The best era of music. George Michael , Bono and Freddie Mercury are all GIANTS!
People don’t appreciate it ! They have a good voice! Oh love here George Michael he look so good . I see this the first - award 😍😍
bono !!! hAHA
Wham! deserved to win, and George Michael was absolutely gorgeous!❤
I'm 30 years too late because when this was on,I was working ☹️ George is such a fine, good looking, best looking man I've ever seen in my 55 years.
Born in 73' growing up listening to these icons on the radio... magic... rip george...
What a time to win a Brit for best group, look at who they were up against U2, Queen you name it they were absolutely brilliant and the singer/songwriter George turned out to be is 2nd to none. RIP George best talent I ever had the pleasure of seeing xxx

Wham was a huge part of my childhood

If I WERE TO GO
Yes..i cant stop look at him in wham mv last christmas..he is absolutely the most handsome person ever.
I like their music. RIP GM. I'm happy Andrew is alive and I hope he's doing well.
Omg! George Michael was gorgeous!
George seemed so happy here.
Yes, George Michael was happy, even in the not so good times, depression and all, he never showed any sadness, that I remembered.
how young they looked. george still has grace, good looks, and a fabulous voice.
He’s passed away since but his music always lives on ...
He was my crush and so handsome!
George always had grace! humble also!
Well, maybe they looked young because they were eeeeerr young? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@gollycom Yep that would be it!👍😁
R.I.P to George Michael and also Rick from Status Quo who sadly died 2016

I was depressed for weeks after seeing them in concert as a teen. I still have the t-shirt. ❤️❤️❤️ Wham!
I just cant watching GM. miss him so much ! wish i was dreaming !
Interesting how Andrew asked Rick Parfit to stop as he was thanking people. Andrew so full of grace, as he is today.
Where it all began 80s ..Wham!
Forever you are loved George Michael!
1984was a big year for george 👍👍
Джордж Майкл, ты наше солнышко! Ты в нашем сердце! Помним и любим! Талантливый, добрый, замечательный музыкант ! Слушаем твои песни и остались одни слёзы! Новый год и Рождество всегда с тобой!
Blimey. Watching this as George has passed and find Rick Parfitt giving out the award. RIP chaps.
John Ewen I thought the same thing. A morbid thought, but to think they died within a day of each other. But then, such is life. RIP
John Ewen 1985 fast forward 2016 so ironic two more lives sadly lost x
John Ewen yes and Mike Smith who is reading 📖 the script sad 😔
Thats how good music was. Nominees were legendary U2 and Queen.
1985 fast forward to 2016 so ironic sadly two more taken away x
i wanted queen AND wham! to win
George...Oh George....

Loving the Wham! ♥♥♥♥

WHAM ...BAMM...THANK YOU MAAAAM!!
🤗 how sweet was George!! Nice with that white dress and the black tie. Then his hairstyle is beautiful. You left so early!
Wham were riding high on the Crest of the wave in '85 with a huge fan base.. so it's not surprising.
ADOREABLE ,,,GM THE BEST IN UNIVERSE

So sad that George MIchael and Parfitt died the same year!! And here they are joking on stage ..... RIP GEORGE & PARFITT ..... fucking legends. Both of you. Gone too soon. RIP.

The beginning of the Legend George Michael.

Yessss ....amazing
yep! no body like George!
Queen and Wham❤️
A great man human person ❤
Best era for music in the UK
In the whole world actually
Andrew was a sharp dresser. Not as good looking as Mr. Gorgeous George, but not bad at all. RIP Gorgeous George.
Yes, I can remember one time George referring to him as a fashion plate.
who is Gourgeos ??
Andrew was definitely the good looking one and had the hutzpah. See his animal energy on Wogan when he walked on wearing a cowboy hat. Yum. He’s been living off Careless Whisper royalties for decades.
George and Andrew look so cute in this video. ❤️❤️
congratulations!
GREAT SONGS!
Parfitt and Rossi: not veterans but legends! (Not a particular fan of their music, but they're cool. Sad to see both Rick and George have passed away)
One day after each other… in 2016
Love oll his music.. George Michael for aver..👑😎🌷
QUE MARAVILHA!
Caramba, ganhou de bons grupos.
Grato pelo presente ;)
George forever 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Colonel Sanders must have been their inspiration for those suits.😱
Not one cheer when they were announced with all the other groups in that section :O With U2 and Queen having the most cheers, ah I guess Wham appealed to the very young of that generation like so many groups today. Really lovely looking back
RIP GEORGE
Самые милые,красивые,элегантные Джордж и Эндрю❤🌟💖💋💐❤🔥
I was still in highschool, and not to take away Wham, but The Unforgettable Fire was the album I bought that year.
The title rather gives the winner away!
Watch how good pop music was...
Wham was the Band in the 80's Andrew aka Andy and George Michael aka Yogi was The Best 🎶❤rest in Freedom George Michael 🕊
WHAM 👍
Those a damn tough competitors.
Bono never offered his condolences about GM's death. They were both huge. Probably still mad for losing to Wham.
oh get a grip
Bono said that he had taken George to try to find the volleyball named Wilson but George set Bono's car on fire.. Of course Bono is not gonna say anything nice about him. 🐹🐹🏃🏃🏃🏃🍭🍭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🚗🚗🚗🚕🚕🏉🏈⚾⚽⚾⚽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
Hardly two years later after the release of the Joshua tree U2 became the biggest group on the planet and have stayed there ever since
Does anyone know what an audience member shouted at them and who it was and why their faces suddenly seemed serious and sad? It looked like George's euphoric bubble was suddenly burst. Poor kid. I wonder if whatever was said was reported by journalists afterward.
and where these other bands now?george will live for ever.
you mean like U2 or Queen? No idea ! Lousy one-hit wonder bands anyway>.... NOT!
@@vracan more one no1 than u2 mmmmmm
