      He’s the king, so underrated!!! I remember being 5 years old and crying at my front door when my mom and her friends drove off to go to his concert in Lexington, KY without me and my sister. I’ve never been so heartbroken. She did come home with lots of autographed items for us though. They stayed in the same hotel as George and his entire band, and got to hang out with all of them for hours in the hotel one night. ❤❤❤

      Actually he was smiling because the audience took over the last bit, as in he commanded them, just like Freddy. Which surprised Brian a bit and you can see it reminds him of those days. They all knew George was THE guy to sing this song. they literally asked him to.

    George put his heart and soul into this performance (as he always did) but what no one knew was that George's partner Anselmo, who was there that day, had been diagnosed with AIDS and had sworn George to secrecy. I can't imagine the emotions George must of been feeling, and how he held it together. Also George went to every rehearsal as he said he wanted to get it right, and you know what George, you nailed it 💜💜💜

    I remember watching this the first time it came aired and I cried. I watched your reaction today and cried again because now both George and Freddie are gone. These two and their music were the staple of my youth growing up in both the 1970s and 1980s and they had awesome music! The way the audience responded to this song and George Michael singing it, it was just impeccable is what it was! I am so glad I had the opportunity to see George Michael in concert during the late 1980s. He was fantastic singer and entertainer on the stage too! Rest in Peace George and Freddie. Enjoyed your reaction! ☮💕👍👏

      @jeffreyweitzman6463 Рік тому +6

      No wonder, that particular one he did Somebody to Love was vocally one of the most demanding but I mean the entire Queen catalogue to the high range Freddie was actually able to go to, as much as the concert was filled with the great and good of rock music of that era none of them was going to be able to reach what Freddie did. But they still gave their utmost they still sounded amazing in their own right especially when as said this is Queen songs none of them an easy vocal ride so takes certain level of talent shall we say already. And yeah every single one of them gave it all for genuine appreciation love of Freddie, to honour his memory and of course appreciation, support for the rest of Queen with George Michaels bit being the extra bit of magic on that already so so special night!

    Thanks for this guys! Yeah man, George brought the black choir with him to do the song right. The concert in Wembley Stadium sold out 72,000 seats in 3 hours. George was so nervous because this was not only his favorite Queen song but it was Freddie's favorite Queen song as well. Sadly, George had learned that just before this concert that his partner Anselmo Feleppa had been diagnosed with AIDS, the same disease that took Freddie's life. Anselmo died 2 years after this concert. It was a loss that George would never recover from. George said he had to do two things in his performance, pay tribute to his friend and icon Freddie and pray for Anselmo. Queen's guitarist Brian May said he could hear Freddie's voice when George would sing certain notes. High praise indeed. Yes, George blew everyone away with this one. So glad you liked it!

    I was at the tribute concert and, before that night, I had never been a big fan of George Michael. He was easily the best performer on the night and this song showed me what a great singer he was and, as you said, he got as close to Freddie as it was possible to get. Just before this, he sang "39" which he said was one of the songs he did when he was busking in London.

      George Michael was a great singer and sang with power and emotion. But to say he is probably the only who could do this justice is wrong. Listen to Marc Martel sing this song. Adam Lambert has sung this over 200 times as the lead singer for Queen for the last 10 years. Also George Michaels sisters asked Adam Lambert to sing at tribute to George Michaels. He sang Faith and One Last Try. Look it up on UA-cam you might be surprised

    As Queen performed for Live Aid in 1985 and did their own tour in 1986, the only place this could ever take place was in Wembley Stadium.
    George Michael is great in his own right, but as you said, he did more than give this justice. Also, this was the only song to be released by Queen as a single off the back of this Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. It even made its way onto Queen's Greatest Hits Volume III and Greatest Hits Platinum Collection (the three Greatest Hits albums put together). After this, many people suggested that George perform on tour with the remaining members of Queen, but he had a vocal style that only suited a handful of Queen songs, so it never happened in his lifetime.
    I recently heard this song performed on the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concerts by Queen and the Foo Fighters with Sam Ryder (who came second for the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest) at Wembley Stadium. Although he performed it similarly to George Michael, and his vocals were OK, I feel it paled compared to Freddie or George.
    I have also had the chance to see Pink! perform with Queen and the Foo Fighters at the Los Angeles' Kia Forum, and her performance, in my own opinion, was even worse with her just missing lines and missing her cue. I don't know if she had much time to practice with them, but it is not like her, who is usually so professional. It was almost like she was in awe to be around them, often gesturing to Brian May when she should have been singing the next part of the song. Sorry if it upsets Pink! fans, but I do enjoy listening to her now and again, so I feel disappointed with her performance on this occasion.
    On both occasions, both bands themselves excelled, as was to be expected.

    George was absolutely perfect to sing this in memory of Freddi. I'm only throwing this in there because to me he is "the voice" but Steve Perry could've pulled the notes also. Again George was perfect and I had goose bumps too!

    Love your reactions! I was so lucky to see George Michael live in the 80s for his Faith Concert. He was AMAZING live! sounded perfect, engaged with the crowd, had great moves...best concert I've ever been to. So very sad he's gone. What a loss.

    George Michael: The only one who is really able to sing a queen song - cause he had the vocal abilities and much more important he felt this song from the bottom of his heart! IMO George was also just looking for true love and acceptance… both failed somehow and passed away much too early. I miss them so much ♥️😢

    I've watched a number of videos from this tribute. They were all good, some better than others. George nailed this.
    Young lady you aren't the only one who got goosebumps, I do too every time I watch this.
    Now consider I saw Queen twice, in '80 & '82, Freddie had the crowd in the palm of his hand.
    In fact if you watch, or have watched, any from their Live in Montreal videos that's the tour I saw them on in 1980 in Madison Square Garden.

    Excellent performance I never get tired of watching. Asia & BJ - you owe it to yourselves to watch the entire concert, I think you'd love it. I know it's available on DVD (I own it) - but a lot of the performances I'm sure are on UA-cam. My favorite second only to the band Extreme who did a beautiful version at this concert of "Love of My Life". Seriously, if you love Queen, check out as much of this amazing tribute concert as you can. And yes, it was at Wembley Stadium.

  • @laetitiacavinato2554

    This performance is amazing because George is respecting the original song and doing his own thing at the same time. That's not easy !
