This song always lifts my spirits. And, despite my being a curmudgeon, I love how energized George looked and how happy he made the crowd. Look at all those hands in the air...hardly a cell phone in site. People were 100% present in the moment and united in the same goal of enjoying this legendary performer. While I know the 80s and 90s won't be repeated, I'm grateful to have lived through them and appreciate all the audio and video recordings.
I was raised on Zeppelin, Floyd, The Beatles, all through 80s rock, alternative in the 90s and in my humble opinion Freedom is one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's like 3 songs in one.
DEFINITELY, MIND YOU GEORGE GIVE US SO MANY TRULY BRILLIANT SONGS WHERE DO YOU STOP LOOKING. RIP GEORGE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. ✌️😎
George Michael...you are now FREE....soulful brother, RIP... Your gift of your voice and music will stand the test of time . . . . You are missed, r i p Your gift of your voice and music will stand the test of time . . . . You are missed, r i p
"You've got to give for what you take" Great message from George! What a wonderful and giving human being he was. Now resting in eternal sleep. Forever 53
Just watching George Michael Freedom show on cable...he was so talented...omg...beautiful voice. Such a sad loss so early...not to mention...Of course he was so handsome. Certainly had some hard times but guess we all have...but learned he was very generous helping people in need. Makes me sad...Judy.
George Michael deserves, and its loooong overdue, to be in the rock n roll hall of fame. He should've been inducted when he was alive but I think A LOT of people didn't know how much of a PURE TALENTED GENIUS HE WAS and soooo underrated. EASILY ONE OF THE BEST VOCALISTS of all time not to mention his incredible songwriting, producing, arranging, talented musician he was. He did it all and has been overlooked for far to long. Luther Vandross and George Michael are to me the best male vocalist ever. Didnt need any machines whatsoever. They both sounded just like the studio recording and could take someone else's song and do it better. This man had SOOO MUCH SOUL in him it's insane. #GEORGEMICHAELBELONGSINTHEROCKNROLLHALLOFFAMENOW! Among the other greats of all time. He damn sure earned it !!!!💯💯💯💿🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶👑👑👑
Still just One of my Favorite songs... BUT my heart Aches too. He one had "One Great" Love. He never had Lasting Happiness. I saw a documentary on GM, he was Utterly Sad. I believe heartbreak is what Truly killed him. For So long, GM hid behind the persona of his best friend until he didn't Know himself. His story makes my heart Truly weep for him & All he contributed to the music industry. #GeorgeMicheal4Ever, Rest in Heaven
There's simply no better way, to start this fifth of May! Everyone: FREEDOM !!! The Netherlands were liberated on the fifth of May 1945. Thanks dear George. You have lit up my life!
Heaven is the only freedom and George has it with his mama and I know i will finally get to meet him one day and thatskept me from losing my mind on my worst days of grief
If there was a magic place in the sky, george wouldnt be able to go there 'according to christians n shit' he did one of the many many made up sins christian cherry pick and follow.
Ο άνθρωπος ο πραγματικά ελεύθερος στα πρέπει πάντα έρχεται δεύτερος.. Πρώτα κάνει ο,τι ποθεί η ψυχή του και πάντα με την καρδιά του απολαμβάνει τη ζωή του.! Θα φάει, θα πιεί, θα αγαπήσει... Στην πρώτη θέση τη γεύση και την αφροδίσια ηδονή, να ξέρεις, θα κρατήσει... Το σώμα του θα τον ευχαριστήσει! Τα προβλήματα τρέχουν μόνα τους να βρούνε λύση... Φωνάζουν από μακριά..."Σου πάει που είσαι ΕΛΕΎΘΕΡΟΣ!!! Μέσα στα πρέπει θα ήσουν δεύτερος....."❤️💘❤️💘
Gone way too soon! Saw him in concert in Worcester, MA and he ended with this and had about 30,000 on their feet. This also shows how one person can command Wembley. Not an easy task. Tina Turner is the only other solo artist to kick it like he did. Rest in Peace. Beautiful spirit and voice gone way too soon! xo
Who is listening to this song in Dec. 2019?always in our hearts and minds. A true artist with a golden voice demonstrating the highest level of accuracy and commitment with the performance of the show. A master in its own right!

I was planning to sing this aloud after election in Turkey, but couldn't. When the government changes I promised myself to sing so loudly (doesnt matter how old I'll be.) Love you Yog
George’s national anthem. It has stood the test of time for sure.
😀👍
2023
Still can’t believe we are in a world where George Michael is no more 😢😢.
What a soul ❤
"Freedom, you gotta give for what you take"!! This song is timeless!!!
😀👍
One word "LEGEND"
He sounds better live than most singers do in the studio!
number one forever....
The emotions, the real ones, belong only to those who know how to live them. Just one word George: freedom !!!!
This song always lifts my spirits. And, despite my being a curmudgeon, I love how energized George looked and how happy he made the crowd.

Absolutely it’s up there in my top 5 of all time
yeah
DEFINITELY, MIND YOU GEORGE GIVE US SO MANY TRULY BRILLIANT SONGS WHERE DO YOU STOP LOOKING. RIP GEORGE GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. ✌️😎
When he performed "Freedom" he always looked his happiest. May you Rest in Peace George Michael.
I just watched quite a few of the videos and I agree. He just absolutely got into this song
Agreed. This time and place, the music , the people was a rare and special moment. I can feel it and it brings a tear to the eye it's so strong.
msglimmertwin52 Those jackasses at Sony killed his career. He had so much more to give in music. Sony deprived us of his prime.
Freedom '90 is probably his most autobiographical song IMO
You’re right he does. Such a great song for the ages.
Forever George Michael !!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
George Michael...you are now FREE....soulful brother, RIP...
Your gift of your voice and music will stand the test of time . . . . You are missed, r i p
Your gift of your voice and music will stand the test of time . . . . You are missed, r i p

This was George at his best. Freedom 90 remains one of the greatest pop songs of all time
i love you mr george michael. thank you for keeping me alive for so long through your music. im not gay but like many i love you george michael xxx
"You've got to give for what you take"
Great message from George! What a wonderful and giving human being he was. Now resting in eternal sleep. Forever 53
What a loss! i was lucky enough to see him live, what a great show it was!!!
A true icon. He had a great voice, but he also had integrity. A joyful soul that will be missed forever. See you in Havana brother. R.I.P.
This is one of those songs that's best played at the loudest volume and then some whilst in the car singing along - on repeat!
never been more relevant than now 2020,never let anyone take this away from you,amazing man.
Deserves a spot on a golden record sent through space...

Certainly had some hard times but guess we all have...but learned he was very generous helping people in need. Makes me sad...Judy.
Well not really the concert...more of a documentary of his life...input from Elton John, Stevie Wonder & more. Me again, Judy.
in 2006 he was still selling out stadiums. Icon!!😍😍😍
George Michael in our ❤
Freedom... Nostalgia... 🙏

yes
It's great they finally inducted him. That induction and Otis Redding's made me cry when i see it.
RIP George Michael! A legend and true talent.
And it's more important than ever right now. God bless you George x
George did well for declaring himself independent. George doesn't let anyone make him act straight. Be who you are. George, you did good. Thank you
Great performance! Happy Birthday GM, we love you and miss you. xoxxoxo
What an amazing amazing amazing song.
It’s been 2 years today and it still hurts like hell. RIP Legend❤️
You never let us down, and we’ll never give you up~ Rest in power & peace young gun. xo
Easily my favorite song by the legendary George Michael R.I.P.
One of the best singers ever

Ο άνθρωπος ο πραγματικά ελεύθερος στα πρέπει πάντα έρχεται δεύτερος..
Πρώτα κάνει ο,τι ποθεί η ψυχή του και πάντα με την καρδιά του απολαμβάνει τη ζωή του.!
Θα φάει, θα πιεί, θα αγαπήσει...
Στην πρώτη θέση τη γεύση και την αφροδίσια ηδονή, να ξέρεις, θα κρατήσει...
Το σώμα του θα τον ευχαριστήσει!
Τα προβλήματα τρέχουν μόνα τους να βρούνε λύση...
Φωνάζουν από μακριά..."Σου πάει που είσαι ΕΛΕΎΘΕΡΟΣ!!!
Μέσα στα πρέπει θα ήσουν δεύτερος....."❤️💘❤️💘
Hi congratulation beautiful song nostalgic i❤George Michael Rest In Peace

A rock star.
Gone way too soon! Saw him in concert in Worcester, MA and he ended with this and had about 30,000 on their feet. This also shows how one person can command Wembley. Not an easy task.

Absolutely one of the most talented singers of all time. Such skill. Damn.
I can't believe I lost two of my best singers in 2016 Prince and George Michael, I am really sad
I feel the same ... Some days I STILL can't believe George Michael & Prince are gone. It hurts my heart even now.
We need this song more now than ever!👍
What an entertainer take me back in town maybe I can forget
Sometimes you find yourself in the right place for living e do experience that leave the sign. I envy the people that was there.

His voice is mind-blowing.

Agree!
A natural show man. He will always be missed by me.
I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around
Oh, yeah
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be (Didn't know what I wanted to be)
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me (And I guess it was enough for me)
To win the race, a prettier face
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV (Rock and roll TV)
But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should know
(I think it's time I told you so)
There's something deep inside of me
(There's someone else I've got to be)
Take back your picture in a frame
(Take back your singing in the rain)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me, yeah yeah
Freedom (I won't let you down)
Freedom (I will not give you up)
Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound)
You've got to give what you take (It's the one good thing that I've got)
Freedom (I won't let you down)
Freedom (So please don't give me up)
Freedom ('Cause I would really)
You've got to give what you take (really love to stick around)
Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy
What a kick just a buddy and me (What a kick just a buddy and me)
We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run, boy
We were living in a fantasy (We were living in a fantasy)
We won the race, got out of the place
Went back home, got a brand new face for the boys on MTV (Boys on MTV)
But today the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's something you should know
(I think it's time I stopped the show)
There's something deep inside of me
(There's someone I forgot to be)
Take back your picture in a frame
(Don't think that I'll I be back again)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me, yeah yeah
Freedom (I won't let you down)
Freedom (I will not give you up)
Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound)
You got to give what you take
(It's the one good thing that I've got)
Freedom (I won't let you down)
Freedom (So please don't give me up)
Freedom ('Cause I would really)
You got to give what you take (really love to stick around)
Well, it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were build to last
That's what you get
(That's what you get)
I say that's what you get
(I say that's what you get for changing your mind)
That's what you get for changing your mind
(That's what you get)
(That's what you get) And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me, yeah yeah
Freedom (Oh)
Freedom
(My) Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom (I'll hold on to my)
Freedom
(My) Freedom
You got to give what, to give what, give what you take
Yeah!
You got to give what, give to what, to give
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live
Such a legend. I dont think he ever really knew how much he was loved
I was planning to sing this aloud after election in Turkey, but couldn't. When the government changes I promised myself to sing so loudly (doesnt matter how old I'll be.)
Love you Yog
His voice
Soon incredibly sad. One helluva singer. G-damn he was so talented
Sure . Cracking performance and seriously top tune ; love it .
I won't let you down.. so please to give me up. Georges Michael ❤
Fantastico George…..io Ti Amo❤❤❤
