Hes intelligent. But a bit of a frigging douchebag in this interview. Exactly what a woman wants! 😄 However theres better "interviews" with him than this. On later years, your clearly notice hes learnt how to become more humble however.
I freakin love Boy George. I’m 50 years old and grew up listening to him. No matter his fashion or anything else it is undeniable that he has one of the most beautiful singing voices ever
I've always loved Boy George, his music has always been the purest in my opinion, it's clean, not about sex n drugs, he's respectful n kind n so misunderstood by certain ppl. My older late bro also loved his music, he was a cowboy, rancher, there are certain songs that reminds me of him. God bless*
The topics and discussions that were introduced by Phil Donahue have brought us to where our minds are today regarding progressive ideas. Thank you grand sir for what you did for America. You will be missed.
I’m 53. I have always love Boy George and Pete Burns. Always listen to them. Boy George put up with way too much shit. I’m glad he’s done well all these years.
At this time I was working in a hotel that Boy George was staying I served him and his band breakfast In his suite before this interview he was very polite and a true delight to serve this brings back good memories for me ❤️
I’m so impressed by him! He’s being asked over and over again to defend his look, persona, music yet he’s not defensive in the least. His answers are intelligent, poignant, respectful and on point. What an impressive man, I never realized how much so.
This guy had more balls than anyone in the audience, remember this is 1984. It's a total achievement to be what you wanna be and it's not as easy as it looks.
"If people weren't rebellious, America would never have been discovered." I got chills when George walked on stage. I just love him! Immensely talented. Found this due to Phil's passing. RIP Phil Donohue.

Has anyone in this audience even noticed how insightful, articulate and honest Boy George is......a genuine guy who is no idiot. He is only 23 and not many are as measured and business savvy at that age. Both he and George Michael had genuine talent and incredible voices at a young age.
Ya in 2022 its a rat race, no morals or respect like old days..i miss the 80s. We use to go out to clubs and listen to live bands, rock and country and what ever. Never no shooting just people having fun.
@@dinafawzy1311 - C’mon, how can you ask something like that? Gay is not something people become and stop being, it is something they are born as and is all their lives!
Boy George was so so far ahead of his time. He's so mature, so open, so accepting of himself. I love it. And I love how whenever the audience or interviewer make a point or question about the way he is for example, he always has an answer straight away that is completely justified and valid, that nobody could argue with.
boy george is a lifelong serial criminal, who was convicted in 2007 of a crime for which, if the victim had been a woman and not a man, he would still be in prison.
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine, I would love to know a great fan like you in person. feel free to reach me anytime or you drop your mail ID. Thanks
Lazy Belphegore, I took his comment to that fellow as being very sincere on his part. His whole point during his part of the interview, based on the questions asked, was that people are free to look however they do and dress however they like. LottaTroublemaker has commented that he was sooo cute, a bit snarky..... but I don't think w/ his comment to that guy he was being in the least bit snarky. Fabulous that he was able to make the guy smile when perhaps a lot of people in the guy's life, or strangers, didn't and weren't positive w/ him about the way he looked.
People were pretty polite in the 80s, even when they disagreed with you. It's a nice change from the trolling, rudeness and rabid political correctness of today.
Everyone had something called respect and we were all taught the golden rule , something that's not taught no more ,now a days its my way or your a nazi
Exactly what I noticed and was going to say. Everything now is strongly politicized, but, it unfortunately has to be that way; the country has been guided towards a divide and here 9 months after your comment, things are worse than ever. A significant enough percentage of people support the destruction of America now, and there are those who will actively fight that as they should. Back in the 80's there were political policy decisions that people disagreed with, but it was never about outright destroying the foundations of the country...which is what it now is. Anger and rudeness are to be expected when a percentage of the country wants it dismantled and the rest does not. I grew up in the 80's and it was a different world. A much better one.
@Melissa Ross-Merkel People were rude to him, in a more passive aggressive manner. Performers like Boy George, and GLBTQ people in general, didn’t receive the support they do today. The undercurrent of their comments was very hurtful. People really thought gay people were deviants, like we view offenders today. Many saw it as the same thing! They though men who wore makeup must be whacked out on drugs! The assumptions were painful in the past, not just offensive. Beliefs about feminine men being gay, and gays being dangerous, in the 80s, are why those rumors ever spread about Michael Jackson. The press (and other opportunists) knew society would swallow it whole. That could never happen in 2022! They’d have been canceled before they started.
I think that Boy George has the most beautiful eyes. He is honest and true to himself. You have to hand it to this guy. He is honest and successful. What more can one ask of oneself? I like him and I'm old, beyond gray.
I’ve just been listening to George Michael’s “Listen without Prejudice” and it occurs to me that he, and many of us, owe Mr. O’Dowd a great deal of gratitude. He was a pioneer and he was incredibly brave, both as a person and as an artist.
I am assuming she did not see him without makeup because he was gorgeous without it and today with no makeup and a beard he looks like everyday Joe. But he still is handsome.
I grew up with Boy George and was too little to know that the way he dressed wasn't "normal". By the time I got older, I was used to seeing men dressed like him. I'm amazed watching this and people so focused on his clothes but people didn't know back then what we know now. Boy George was a pioneer.
your correct his music is ,,& was amazing .. Brave person great mother to except him so well his interviews are amazing good for utube to keep all these ! Enjoyed your words. Thanks for sharing
What a trip to watch this..... I thought I'd just watch like a minute...but here I am 13 minutes into it. I was one year old when this aired...39 now. It's odd how the audience reacts. In lots of ways they do seem far more old fashioned than now....but in other ways, they almost seem more progressive. The big guy around 8:05 was super cool, despite coming from a totally different world. But I imagine his modern equivalent...would be an antisocial angry Trump voter who would find all this gender bending creative aesthetic androgyny to be totally foreign and scary and immoral. Whereas the guy at 8:05....was probably into Bowie when he was a kid. It's just strange how some things change, others stay the same, etc. A lot of the people here came across as more nuanced and aware and focused than people today.....yet also far more naive and myopic in their intellectual understanding of broader reality. I think the internet kinda stole our singular nuanced focus and attention....while making us HYPER aware of everything everywhere all the time.
Have no clue why i ended up here. But god dammit he is sharp, funny and true to him self. Have heard his music as gazillions of others... just never heard him interviewed... great watch this
He was laid out on that stage like a piece of meat! Yet he held his ground so well. How times have changed and what George is saying is now daily life!
1984 I was a freshman in High School , and we made mad fun of this guy. Now today I have nothing but respect for the man. It's funny how you see things differently after you grow up.
I was a year ahead of you. It was a different time back then. Most people weren't openly gay, much less dressed as the way he did. It came off as weird, so it wasn't uncommon to make fun of him. Times have definitely changed. Back then it shocked the world...lol
The whole time the joke was on the audience. Culture Club and Boy George were breaking all the rules. I miss the 80's and the idea of individuality. So many things musically were happening. The times were much happier than what is going on today.
Always is but so many said they changed their minds and learned from this conversation. Same with what happened when Manson (I know, disgusting person now) was on. They never suspected him to be so articulate and smart. Such a cliche but never judge a book by its cover.
Of course the "joke" was on the audience! "The joke is on the entire worldwide from day #1 utterly duped masses about everything!" The so called fake 100% made from scratch, manufactured "Boy" is not a boy at all! The 100% FEMALE born puppet boy and her mis-placed to far to the left side lopsided Adam's Apple implant+those GIANT SHOULDER PADDED jackets are so ridiculous+distracting how did no one ever notice that she is a 100% WOMAN!
Boy George was way ahead of his time. An amazing young man with beautiful eyes, absolutely glamorous, yet down to earth at the same time. What a trailblazer! Absolutely love everything about him!
I Just attended his concert for my first time ! He’s the same after all these years , excellent performance esp w his band and singers! I hope he continues to tour ! I appreciate his longevity! God bless Boy George!
So damn brilliant. Many bands today, mostly metal bands talk exactly about what George did decades earlier. So ahead of the time. Too many people can't look past looks and in general think musicians are stupid puppets. So refreshing hearing any huge star talk about the light and dark sides of the industry and celebrity status. So helpful for people who wanna be stars.
does that define one's intelligence? most of the time it s exactly the school,that makes people stuipid and conformed( ever saw Pink Floyd's The Wall, Twisted Sister I wanna Rock and so many other examples?)
23 is adulthood and if someone of this age cannot express themselves beyond disses on Facebook and emojis (modern day heiroglyphics), they need their asses whooped
I disagree ! How quick did he look down and distract grabbing that glass of water when the lady asked how he will be when married and as a father ! He's gay and hid his true for decades . People were scared then , if not scared they knew it would end their career .
I remember being an 11 yr old gay boy living in upstate NY, never seeing an openly gay person, starting puberty and knowing I was different. Thinking I was the only person in the world who felt like that...THAT ALL CHANGED when I saw Boy George on MTV... OMG, thank the lord. And thank the lord for my family moving to Miami the following year. So I could live the life I was supposed to;) lol
Boy George is absolutely articulate intelligent and respectful in this appearance. Watching in 2020 is a trip the points he makes are still relavent and many questions and points the audience makes are quit prophetic.
Even George more intelligent than most of the politicians in generally. He well mannered, control his emotion quite good considering at his young age. Respect him a lot.
It is my uttermost pleasure seeing your amazing and pleasant comment on my movie channel.😍This really brought great joy to my heart, remain blessed. I know you will be shock Seeing my mail, that to show you how grateful I’m. feel free to contact me anytime..
My older sister introduced me to Boy George's music when I was a little kid and I have been a fan ever since. He was a great artist then and he still is. And kudos to Phil Donahue for having such interesting guests through his entire run. I used to watch his show every day when I was a kid too.
I love Boy George! I remember when he was first on stage singing Karma Chameleon! He was amazing! I love his voice! I believe that he was on Solid Gold. I love The Culture Club! His clothes are amazing!
Boy George is amazing for being brave to stand up for what he believes in. Brave to be true and brave to be original in his own way. Luv u George!!! 👍💯💯💯❤️
He’s really not that brave….he has a large amount of mental illness and self loathing and narcissism as do most people who are flamboyant and state that they are “bored” with self acceptance. They rabidly crave attention and truly believe that they’re superior to everyone else while actually having an incredible amount of self hatred. You may not agree with me but I am as entitled to my opinion as you are to disagree. BTW, he is a heroine addict but yet sits there lying that he doesn’t use drugs.
7:56 guy. He was the most attractive, coolest person in the audience. George clearly liked him. 2020, 36 years later, I hope that the cool man is doing well in surviving the time travel forward with us.
Yes, and shocking, since AIDS was really getting a foothold on the world! Surprisingly, the audience was rather subdued, but George was prepared for the slings and arrows that could have easily been shot at him.
I can't believe this much time has passed! I bought every Culture Club album and still have them and every now and again will pop them on the turntable. This makes me feel sad and aching for my youth and yearning for the simpler era.
I recall the 80s and 90s being extremely complicated. Cities burning, inhumane desert war, parents on Valium, sugar food/meals, toys that can kill you, people in denial that homosexuality is a thing, you weren’t allowed to think differently. Yet parents partied themselves. We rather raised ourselves. We had radio and music videos. Parents started using police on children just for smoking pot.
My husband and I saw him and Culture Club in Pittsburgh around 1982-1983 with John Cougar Mellencamp! Both were AWESOMELY FANTASTIC!!! I love JCM but George and the band make me feel happy and can’t stop DANCING ❤😁😁😁😍
We are only now starting to wear blue lipstick...just look at the "makeup gurus" on UA-cam and Instagram. He was totally ahead of his time. He does seem level headed here and genuine. I was a young teen when he first made it and never really got into him. Then I saw Douglas Booth play him in a BBC tv show. I found it fascinating. I'm so glad he's back to being drug free. It's like I just discovered him. It was the same for me with the Beatles, almost 20yrs ago.
I wore a frosty blue lipstick at age 11-12 in 1994, it was a dollar at my local drugstore...I thought I looked sooo cool but in reality it looked awful with my skin tone & hair color and the other kids would ask me why was I wearing "cheesy 80s makeup?" I too remember thinking of it as an "80s thing " because as a young child in the 80s I remember my eldest siblings and cousins some of which were into punk and some into Madonna and boy George wearing various shades of blue lipstick. When it started becoming popular again recently, my 1st thought was yay the 70s-80s glam rock /punk look is kinda coming back! Sadly even in 2021 blue lipstick looks bad on me, lol. Its amazing on George though! It even matches his eyes
The questions weren't random, they were clearly very pointed. White people demanding answers for why he exists instead of assimilating was the whole category, for the full 45 minutes
I love boy George I don’t care what no one says that man had a soulful voice I used to love to hear him sing and his make up is on point. His eyebrows looks way better then the eyebrows that people are drawing on today.
I love it! When I was 14, in 1979, there was a new club in my town, the first punk club in fact. So many teens and college students started punk bands, and androgyny was a central theme in both the male and female musicians in Austin's punk scene. It changed my life irrevocably. Austin was a blast in the 70s, and 80s, and minors were allowed in to the clubs, so I saw so many awesome shows in my youth.
Boy George is about love, respect mutual respect and acceptance of one self. And others. I have been listening to him for many years and at 68 years old, I grew up listening to Boy George and others in the clubs and continue to be amazed at this incredible man. He has out lasted many of his contemporarys of of that time. That fact alone speaks volumes. ❤
I loved him in the 80s and I love him now..this brings back so many memories...He was the best in the 80s, I have everything he ever put out...Everything about him was just wonderful 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Ty for sharing this video, its awesome
Love the guy at 8:20. That's definitely the message we should be spreading. You don't have to like how someone dresses or looks, but you should still treat them with the respect they deserve :)
Thank you so much. Its amazing people back then thought he and his message wouldnt change the children I am the living proof he influenced my life about war and sexuality until today he is the smartest person I know. Just look at the kids in this video looking at him with opened mouths.Beleive me they all remember everything he said.
I was taken aback by her comment as well. I was a teen in the 80's and can definitely say that music and the musicians I admired brought me a lot of awareness about various issues in the world, as well as an acceptance of the ways people vary and that humans are at their best when helping each other out. I definitely learned a lot from my favorite musicians and their music; it wasn't all mere entertainment to me. They were a window to a much wider world than my own insular one.

Memory Rinehart I was brought up in Australia in the 80s and I don’t remember many people judging Boy George either I was a fan and I thought he was popular here 🤷♀️
I bought his 1st album to my dorm thinking honestly thinking he was a girl. 😂 A roommate said he was a boy… and we didn’t care. We LOVED his vocals and eyeliner. The priests and nuns at our private university not so much 😂. Oh the 80s 😅
@@calisongbird I grew up with Donahue, obviously so did you, I’m close to 60. You can’t expect that everyone landing on this video knows who he is. I work with girls who have never heard of Alanis Morissette. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for posting this! I do enjoy some of Boy's solo, as well as his work with Culture Club. It was good to see this interview because it's always nice to get a glimpse into artist personalities. I see he's very intelligent, quick-witted and well-spoken!
I was imbarest back in the 80s to admit I liked boy George.but now at 52,I have respect for him because he wasn't afraid to be himself.i wish I had his strength to be myself.to this day I still suffer worrying about what people think
a man who wears makeup?! oh my gosh! they were so hung up on it back then! Now we just accept it as part of his personae and image. No big deal. He looks fabulous. Seems very intelligent and intuitive for a man in his early 20s
I'm soo thankful for the Boy George's of the World. I so appreciate his honesty and heartfelt courage to own it. He is authentic, beautiful and a talented entertainer who challenged the status quo just by being himself with intelligence, wit, humor, grace and integrity. Good on you Boy George! Good on you!
I don’t know how I missed this show in 1984! I must have been in school and not known about it. I loved Culture Club, and I used to watch Donahue sometimes. I had no idea Boy George was ever on the Donahue show! Thanks so much for posting this! Great show. I’m surprised at how concerned those Midwestern moms were about Boy George. I guess just because he wore make-up? Or maybe some thought he was gay? Anyway, I’m pleased to see that Boy George and the rest of Culture Club seemed to win the audience over with their personalities. 33 years later, I’m getting to see this; thanks again.
I love Boy George back then and now. He’s authentic, he’s well spoken, he’s respectful, and he’s delightful. He gave great food for thought. We need more artists like him in the world.
I watched this when it aired. Funny to look back at it again after all these years. The times were just different and George was just, you know, so CONTROVERSIAL! Oh My!! Loved him then and love him even more now for it.
he is a great singer, enjoy his make-up and clothes. hey, he is in show-business! you have to be different and fun. he is different. for a man he is very pretty!
The fact that he was able to handle this crowd at 23 years old is amazing❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine.
He was only 23! Wow was an eloquent man.
Especially that crowd during that time at 23! Wow.

It's amusing to see so many people with bad 80's makeup and hair judging the pure artistry of Boy George's makeup and fashion.
3.12 - 'It doesnt matter how you look' - she was definately speaking about herself.
Because artistry is to think outside of the box and people that don't have an abstract way of thinking, are afraid of unfamiliarity
@@bellavita1323 ikrr!!
Amen to.this comment!
80s kids saw it as a cartoon character not a lifestyle.
George was, and still is, ahead of his time. A wonderful and warm human being.
He was very composed for a 23-year-old.
He’s a very smart individual.👍
I heard we don't reach true social understanding til about 100.
Yah and I wasn't even born til 1991. Wish I couldve met him then
Rich at Large amazing really
I was only 13
Eu lastei e mil anos pra Trump
I like how Donahue doesn't talk over Boy George and let's him answer the questions, unlike talk show hosts now.
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine, I would love to know a great fan like you in person. feel free to reach me anytime or you drop your mail ID. Thanks
Oprah *cough*Ellen*cough*Kelly Clarkson*cough
Yeah, he's surprisingly respectful. I appreciated that.
@@boygeorge896 stop trying to scam people, catfisher. Reporting your channel.
Exactly.
It was cute when he told the big man “you look great anyway”. It made that guy smile, and George giggled.
Haha, then sips water.
He was sooo cute, a bit snarky, but most of all cute!
Lazy Belphegore, I took his comment to that fellow as being very sincere on his part. His whole point during his part of the interview, based on the questions asked, was that people are free to look however they do and dress however they like. LottaTroublemaker has commented that he was sooo cute, a bit snarky..... but I don't think w/ his comment to that guy he was being in the least bit snarky. Fabulous that he was able to make the guy smile when perhaps a lot of people in the guy's life, or strangers, didn't and weren't positive w/ him about the way he looked.
A young audience member said “Culture Club can’t last forever...” it’s almost 2021, and Boy George is still popular and making music!
Yes!! George proved them wrong! I mean they did have break up moments but never really separated
They still make music?
He is , not heard of him since the 80s
A G what’s their latest album and what’s year was it released?
Try doing it without google lol
People were pretty polite in the 80s, even when they disagreed with you. It's a nice change from the trolling, rudeness and rabid political correctness of today.
That's an excellent observation
The 80s was the last time when society was civil and normal. In the 90s all those elements slowly crept in from about 1997 onwards.
So true. Respect and obligation are now quant notions really.
Everyone had something called respect and we were all taught the golden rule , something that's not taught no more ,now a days its my way or your a nazi
Exactly what I noticed and was going to say. Everything now is strongly politicized, but, it unfortunately has to be that way; the country has been guided towards a divide and here 9 months after your comment, things are worse than ever. A significant enough percentage of people support the destruction of America now, and there are those who will actively fight that as they should. Back in the 80's there were political policy decisions that people disagreed with, but it was never about outright destroying the foundations of the country...which is what it now is. Anger and rudeness are to be expected when a percentage of the country wants it dismantled and the rest does not. I grew up in the 80's and it was a different world. A much better one.
God, he is so witty and quick - and at such a young age - I love the clapback about Donahue stealing his lipstick!!!!!!! Haha
many Brits are exceptional that way.
@Tami Roepke Boy George IS a strong man. And has never pretended to be otherwise. Don't bother me with your ignorant bullshit
Queens had to get tough, at a young age, back then. Even today. I was a street kid, and knew many survivors.
@Melissa Ross-Merkel People were rude to him, in a more passive aggressive manner. Performers like Boy George, and GLBTQ people in general, didn’t receive the support they do today. The undercurrent of their comments was very hurtful. People really thought gay people were deviants, like we view offenders today. Many saw it as the same thing! They though men who wore makeup must be whacked out on drugs! The assumptions were painful in the past, not just offensive. Beliefs about feminine men being gay, and gays being dangerous, in the 80s, are why those rumors ever spread about Michael Jackson. The press (and other opportunists) knew society would swallow it whole. That could never happen in 2022! They’d have been canceled before they started.
Boy George is always a polite and respectful guest. More so than most entertainers of his day.
I think that Boy George has the most beautiful eyes. He is honest and true to himself. You have to hand it to this guy. He is honest and successful. What more can one ask of oneself? I like him and I'm old, beyond gray.
robert2594 yah I saw his 1989 interviews..man is he hot
And those heart-shaped lips. He was/is gorgeous.
Irish eyes.
I met him once and you will not believe how beautiful his eyes are.
@@hazelwray5307 i met him once and his eyes are an ocean.
I’ve just been listening to George Michael’s “Listen without Prejudice” and it occurs to me that he, and many of us, owe Mr. O’Dowd a great deal of gratitude. He was a pioneer and he was incredibly brave, both as a person and as an artist.
He's such an amazing and beautiful soul. Thank you for this video.
As a Brit it makes me proud to see him dazzle America.
Extremely intelligent
he is hes very witty
My grandmother absolutely adored him. She would always gush about how gorgeous and cute he was.
George aged well but yah I agree with your nana. His 80s self was so cute esp in his interview with Martha Quinn
I am assuming she did not see him without makeup because he was gorgeous without it and today with no makeup and a beard he looks like everyday Joe. But he still is handsome.
My grandmother adored him too.
My grandma hated him .. she hated Elton John, The Beatles did nothing good also to her.. Robin Williams too.. loved Frank Sinatra.
@@MeltinJohnWhat about Amy Winehouse?
What I love about Boy George is that he's true to himself just like Cyndi Lauper their both original.
I grew up with Boy George and was too little to know that the way he dressed wasn't "normal". By the time I got older, I was used to seeing men dressed like him. I'm amazed watching this and people so focused on his clothes but people didn't know back then what we know now. Boy George was a pioneer.
your correct his music is ,,& was amazing .. Brave person great mother to except him so well his interviews are amazing good for utube to keep all these ! Enjoyed your words. Thanks for sharing
This is such a wonderful glimpse into the culture and politics of the 80’s. Thanks for posting.
Growing up in the 80's was magical. Seriously. Best decade ever!!
What a trip to watch this..... I thought I'd just watch like a minute...but here I am 13 minutes into it.
I was one year old when this aired...39 now. It's odd how the audience reacts. In lots of ways they do seem far more old fashioned than now....but in other ways, they almost seem more progressive. The big guy around 8:05 was super cool, despite coming from a totally different world. But I imagine his modern equivalent...would be an antisocial angry Trump voter who would find all this gender bending creative aesthetic androgyny to be totally foreign and scary and immoral. Whereas the guy at 8:05....was probably into Bowie when he was a kid.
It's just strange how some things change, others stay the same, etc. A lot of the people here came across as more nuanced and aware and focused than people today.....yet also far more naive and myopic in their intellectual understanding of broader reality. I think the internet kinda stole our singular nuanced focus and attention....while making us HYPER aware of everything everywhere all the time.
'If people werent rebellious, America would never have been discovered.' Well said!
What a treasure of a Quote.. 🙏
The native population would have been happier.
Spoken from the lips of a Brit that has so much more meaning!
@@barryowens5535 This. Lol. Every now and again I think about that and it makes me shake my head.
@@barryowens5535 True, because thier way of life was better, look at them now, on Reservations with poverty.
Have no clue why i ended up here.
But god dammit he is sharp, funny and true to him self.
Have heard his music as gazillions of others... just never heard him interviewed... great watch this
👍
He was laid out on that stage like a piece of meat! Yet he held his ground so well. How times have changed and what George is saying is now daily life!
I know right. It was a forewarning of how Job interviews would become
1984 I was a freshman in High School , and we made mad fun of this guy. Now today I have nothing but respect for the man. It's funny how you see things differently after you grow up.
I was a Junior in High School
I was a year ahead of you. It was a different time back then. Most people weren't openly gay, much less dressed as the way he did. It came off as weird, so it wasn't uncommon to make fun of him. Times have definitely changed. Back then it shocked the world...lol
He was so f'''''n cool.
I love him!
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine
The whole time the joke was on the audience. Culture Club and Boy George were breaking all the rules. I miss the 80's and the idea of individuality. So many things musically were happening. The times were much happier than what is going on today.
Always is but so many said they changed their minds and learned from this conversation. Same with what happened when Manson (I know, disgusting person now) was on. They never suspected him to be so articulate and smart. Such a cliche but never judge a book by its cover.
Of course the "joke" was on the audience! "The joke is on the entire worldwide from day #1 utterly duped masses about everything!" The so called fake 100% made from scratch, manufactured "Boy" is not a boy at all! The 100% FEMALE born puppet boy and her mis-placed to far to the left side lopsided Adam's Apple implant+those GIANT SHOULDER PADDED jackets are so ridiculous+distracting how did no one ever notice that she is a 100% WOMAN!
Boy George was way ahead of his time. An amazing young man with beautiful eyes, absolutely glamorous, yet down to earth at the same time. What a trailblazer!
Absolutely love everything about him!
I Just attended his concert for my first time ! He’s the same after all these years , excellent performance esp w his band and singers! I hope he continues to tour ! I appreciate his longevity! God bless Boy George!
So damn brilliant. Many bands today, mostly metal bands talk exactly about what George did decades earlier. So ahead of the time. Too many people can't look past looks and in general think musicians are stupid puppets. So refreshing hearing any huge star talk about the light and dark sides of the industry and celebrity status. So helpful for people who wanna be stars.
He’s so incredibly intelligent for someone who left school at 15
I was 10 years old at the time this was filmed in 1984 and understood George totally.
Id have to agree.
does that define one's intelligence? most of the time it s exactly the school,that makes people stuipid and conformed( ever saw Pink Floyd's The Wall, Twisted Sister I wanna Rock and so many other examples?)
you need to go to school to be intelligent?
Street smart
Check out his body language. Leaning forward, confidence just oozing out of him. How good is he! And for his age! Phwoah.
Right?! He expresses himself so eloquently and you can see that the audience never expected that at all. :)
23 is adulthood and if someone of this age cannot express themselves beyond disses on Facebook and emojis (modern day heiroglyphics), they need their asses whooped
@@yogijaya2897 23 is still a kid compared to Georges age now. But he was still mature for his age. And what's Facebook disses all about?
Like he said he was "23 going on 50".
I disagree ! How quick did he look down and distract grabbing that glass of water when the lady asked how he will be when married and as a father ! He's gay and hid his true for decades . People were scared then , if not scared they knew it would end their career .
I remember being an 11 yr old gay boy living in upstate NY, never seeing an openly gay person, starting puberty and knowing I was different. Thinking I was the only person in the world who felt like that...THAT ALL CHANGED when I saw Boy George on MTV... OMG, thank the lord. And thank the lord for my family moving to Miami the following year. So I could live the life I was supposed to;) lol
Boy George is absolutely articulate intelligent and respectful in this appearance. Watching in 2020 is a trip the points he makes are still relavent and many questions and points the audience makes are quit prophetic.
I saw Boy George perform in a nightclub in Hannover, Germany in early 1983, before his career took off. I was 18 years old and they were amazing!
Even George more intelligent than most of the politicians in generally. He well mannered, control his emotion quite good considering at his young age. Respect him a lot.
It is my uttermost pleasure seeing your amazing and pleasant comment on my movie channel.😍This really brought great joy to my heart, remain blessed. I know you will be shock Seeing my mail, that to show you how grateful I’m. feel free to contact me anytime..
My older sister introduced me to Boy George's music when I was a little kid and I have been a fan ever since. He was a great artist then and he still is. And kudos to Phil Donahue for having such interesting guests through his entire run. I used to watch his show every day when I was a kid too.
I was 14 and watched this. Still Love Culture Club. Boy George is AMAZING!!!
I love Boy George! I remember when he was first on stage singing Karma Chameleon! He was amazing! I love his voice! I believe that he was on Solid Gold. I love The Culture Club! His clothes are amazing!
Wow lucky 80s teen! George was so handsome back then
Thanks for posting BOY GEORGE
I actually love his makeup here and the blue colors.
Amazing you have this to upload for us oldies to reminisce Thank you!
Awesome costume I love it
Lmao, he has GREAT one liners! With Conan, Leno and Phil. Made ALL OF THEM genuinely bust out laughing!
He was Boy George and dressed up and wore make up long before Culture Club. This is who he is.
I agree with you!!
The audience was incapable of listening and hearing that tidbit
E de perto eu seria como em
he even said plenty of times that he was even more outrageous before culture club, his bandmates also mentioned
Boy George is amazing for being brave to stand up for what he believes in. Brave to be true and brave to be original in his own way. Luv u George!!! 👍💯💯💯❤️
He’s really not that brave….he has a large amount of mental illness and self loathing and narcissism as do most people who are flamboyant and state that they are “bored” with self acceptance. They rabidly crave attention and truly believe that they’re superior to everyone else while actually having an incredible amount of self hatred. You may not agree with me but I am as entitled to my opinion as you are to disagree. BTW, he is a heroine addict but yet sits there lying that he doesn’t use drugs.
Enjoyed watching Boy George. with Culture Club last night in Brissy. What a entertainer and true icon.
The big dude in the USA shirt really got it.
Yeah ! he was a progressive guy, especially considering this was 35 years ago!
He sure did!! Loved that response.
7:56 guy. He was the most attractive, coolest person in the audience. George clearly liked him. 2020, 36 years later, I hope that the cool man is doing well in surviving the time travel forward with us.
Yes, and shocking, since AIDS was really getting a foothold on the world! Surprisingly, the audience was rather subdued, but George was prepared for the slings and arrows that could have easily been shot at him.
Way ahead of his time..
I can't believe this much time has passed! I bought every Culture Club album and still have them and every now and again will pop them on the turntable. This makes me feel sad and aching for my youth and yearning for the simpler era.
I recall the 80s and 90s being extremely complicated. Cities burning, inhumane desert war, parents on Valium, sugar food/meals, toys that can kill you, people in denial that homosexuality is a thing, you weren’t allowed to think differently. Yet parents partied themselves. We rather raised ourselves. We had radio and music videos. Parents started using police on children just for smoking pot.
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine
ah yes if i could back to my youth. wait - my youth sucked. it was boring and i sucked. so much better now. wait - i'm old and people suck ew.
I miss the 60s - 90s period, spectacular decades to have been a part of.
I attended a concert on their first tour. It’s still one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.
You’re lucky as hell
My husband and I saw him and Culture Club in Pittsburgh around 1982-1983 with John Cougar Mellencamp! Both were AWESOMELY FANTASTIC!!! I love JCM but George and the band make me feel happy and can’t stop DANCING ❤😁😁😁😍
The Civic Arena had sooo many wonderful people ❤❤❤
He's incredibly honest and genuine.
We are only now starting to wear blue lipstick...just look at the "makeup gurus" on UA-cam and Instagram. He was totally ahead of his time. He does seem level headed here and genuine. I was a young teen when he first made it and never really got into him. Then I saw Douglas Booth play him in a BBC tv show. I found it fascinating. I'm so glad he's back to being drug free. It's like I just discovered him. It was the same for me with the Beatles, almost 20yrs ago.
See David Bowie interviewed by Russell Harty in 1973. Also see the 'Life on Mars?' video.
We were wearing blue and black lipstick in the 80s, it was just harder to find. And was inspired by people like boy George , Bowie, Cindy Lauper etc
I wore a frosty blue lipstick at age 11-12 in 1994, it was a dollar at my local drugstore...I thought I looked sooo cool but in reality it looked awful with my skin tone & hair color and the other kids would ask me why was I wearing "cheesy 80s makeup?" I too remember thinking of it as an "80s thing " because as a young child in the 80s I remember my eldest siblings and cousins some of which were into punk and some into Madonna and boy George wearing various shades of blue lipstick. When it started becoming popular again recently, my 1st thought was yay the 70s-80s glam rock /punk look is kinda coming back! Sadly even in 2021 blue lipstick looks bad on me, lol. Its amazing on George though! It even matches his eyes
I remember wearing blue lipstick in the early 90's.
Lovely comment.
Boy George looked so fabulous!! He still does, but I'm digging this look! 💎
He's so amazing here. It's not like an interview today, it's more directed, and he holds himself so well to the litany of random questions.
The questions weren't random, they were clearly very pointed. White people demanding answers for why he exists instead of assimilating was the whole category, for the full 45 minutes
I have always loved George and I still do. Great footage. He always conducted himself with intelligence and dignity. Good on him. Pure class
I love boy George I don’t care what no one says that man had a soulful voice I used to love to hear him sing and his make up is on point. His eyebrows looks way better then the eyebrows that people are drawing on today.
Boy George is far before his time
See Bowie interviewed by Russell Harty 1973.
@@hazelwray5307 they both were pioneers for straight and LGBTQ folks alike, and were beloved by Boomers and especially, Gen Xer's like myself.
@@michaeljensen5020 Bowie Nights at Billy's and Blitz Kids set the scene. Inspired by Punk, Bowie, Roxy Music, Bolan and Kraftwerk.
I love it! When I was 14, in 1979, there was a new club in my town, the first punk club in fact. So many teens and college students started punk bands, and androgyny was a central theme in both the male and female musicians in Austin's punk scene. It changed my life irrevocably. Austin was a blast in the 70s, and 80s, and minors were allowed in to the clubs, so I saw so many awesome shows in my youth.
@@michaeljensen5020 Excellent. That's interesting to know.
What a great example how to coexist without demoralizing one another regardless of beliefs. New respect. Never knew him until now
Some questions from certain audience members werent the most respectful to George tho lol
Boy George is about love, respect mutual respect and acceptance of one self. And others. I have been listening to him for many years and at 68 years old, I grew up listening to Boy George and others in the clubs and continue to be amazed at this incredible man. He has out lasted many of his contemporarys of of that time. That fact alone speaks volumes. ❤
I loved him in the 80s and I love him now..this brings back so many memories...He was the best in the 80s, I have everything he ever put out...Everything about him was just wonderful 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Ty for sharing this video, its awesome
Love the guy at 8:20. That's definitely the message we should be spreading. You don't have to like how someone dresses or looks, but you should still treat them with the respect they deserve :)
So true we must always respect each other don't matter how we look
It’s good to know there were such people back then! There’s WAY more people like that these days. Fortunately
Crazy_Tulip15 ..............i honestly dont care if someone doesnt like me wearing my kilt
Thank you so much. Its amazing people back then thought he and his message wouldnt change the children I am the living proof he influenced my life about war and sexuality until today he is the smartest person I know. Just look at the kids in this video looking at him with opened mouths.Beleive me they all remember everything he said.
liliosisisino And it was a great message. Too bad tabloid TV skewed it, as George himself said.
@@kathyflorcruz552 why did that happen?
I was taken aback by her comment as well. I was a teen in the 80's and can definitely say that music and the musicians I admired brought me a lot of awareness about various issues in the world, as well as an acceptance of the ways people vary and that humans are at their best when helping each other out. I definitely learned a lot from my favorite musicians and their music; it wasn't all mere entertainment to me. They were a window to a much wider world than my own insular one.

Memory Rinehart I was brought up in Australia in the 80s and I don’t remember many people judging Boy George either I was a fan and I thought he was popular here 🤷♀️
becksta29 he was a popular in jthe Carribbean and in Jamaica
On the down low
He is 100% on his A-Game here! Gorgeous, intelligent and funny!
Candy Apple Blue he cute
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine
I bought his 1st album to my dorm thinking honestly thinking he was a girl. 😂 A roommate said he was a boy… and we didn’t care. We LOVED his vocals and eyeliner. The priests and nuns at our private university not so much 😂. Oh the 80s 😅
I love how at 13:48 Boy George subtly digs at the talk host as a way of letting him know hes being inappropriate. What a guy
“The talk host”? That’s Phil Donahue, he’s a legend and a pioneer of the daytime talk show format. He started it all. Show a little respect?
@@calisongbird I grew up with Donahue, obviously so did you, I’m close to 60. You can’t expect that everyone landing on this video knows who he is. I work with girls who have never heard of Alanis Morissette. 🤷🏻♀️
Boy George's sparkling blue outfit is beautiful
Watching this made me appreciate his music even more. He is such a great role model to any age.
Thank you for posting this! I do enjoy some of Boy's solo, as well as his work with Culture Club. It was good to see this interview because it's always nice to get a glimpse into artist personalities. I see he's very intelligent, quick-witted and well-spoken!
When I was a teenager, I thought that he was weird. But now, I see how intelligent and talented he was then and now.

*embarrassed*
I love his laugh
Jennifer Caldwell
Yes he has a great laugh alright.
Thanks
@@boygeorge896 is that really you?
a man who wears makeup?! oh my gosh! they were so hung up on it back then! Now we just accept it as part of his personae and image. No big deal. He looks fabulous. Seems very intelligent and intuitive for a man in his early 20s
scubarandy
Oh yeah?... accept it?
Depends on where you are-
There are still TONS of people who look down on anything ‘different ‘
It was normal in the 80s
Even now, there's still plenty of people that are against it and make fun of it. A LOT less than back then. But still, a certain number of people.
People werent hung up on it. Popstars wore makeup all through the 70's, nobody cared.
if my dentist looked like boy george i'd be out of there faster than you can sing 'you come and gooooo-oh-oh-ooooooh'
I'm soo thankful for the Boy George's of the World. I so appreciate his honesty and heartfelt courage to own it. He is authentic, beautiful and a talented entertainer who challenged the status quo just by being himself with intelligence, wit, humor, grace and integrity. Good on you Boy George! Good on you!
I ABSOLUTELY love Boy George and Culture Club.
Always have, Always will...
We need more if his music today....2023...
I love boy george the way he is...
He is amazingly beautiful..
I really appreciate you for being a great fan of mine
He has such class and great style, and takes no crap from anyone, brilliant singer...love love love you boy george....
I don’t know how I missed this show in 1984! I must have been in school and not known about it. I loved Culture Club, and I used to watch Donahue sometimes. I had no idea Boy George was ever on the Donahue show! Thanks so much for posting this! Great show. I’m surprised at how concerned those Midwestern moms were about Boy George. I guess just because he wore make-up? Or maybe some thought he was gay? Anyway, I’m pleased to see that Boy George and the rest of Culture Club seemed to win the audience over with their personalities. 33 years later, I’m getting to see this; thanks again.
I love Boy George back then and now. He’s authentic, he’s well spoken, he’s respectful, and he’s delightful. He gave great food for thought. We need more artists like him in the world.
I watched this when it aired. Funny to look back at it again after all these years. The times were just different and George was just, you know, so CONTROVERSIAL! Oh My!! Loved him then and love him even more now for it.
I like his music still to this day!😀
he is a great singer, enjoy his make-up and clothes. hey, he is in show-business! you have to be different and fun. he is different. for a man he is very pretty!
