![[Unbelievable!!] George Michael & Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me Live | Reaction Video](/img/n.gif)
My parents were at this gig. Forever jealous.
'89 Earls Court,London i believe yes?
@@TheCornishCockney I think it was at Wembley stadium in the very early 90's
Me too!!
Wow. Envious indeed
@@marcdavey Wembley Stadium is actually an outdoor football stadium but this concert was indoor at Wembley Arena.
RIP George Michael !! What a voice
George Michael was the male version of Whitney Houston.
Tremendous power and range.
I don’t think people realize how underrated the drummer in the song is. He killed it.
Absolutely 💯
That’s right. That’s Jonathan Sugarfoot Moffet. Michael Jackson’s touring drummer 👍😎
Everyone: this song can't get any better...
George: Hold my beer...
Absolutely. Elton John is a living legend, but George Michael made him sound like an American Idol contestant in this performance.
George Michael's vocals move me so much 2:52. Makes me cry, he should still be here.
George Micheal was truly a soul singer from his heart, and always had musicians that were talented, and color was never an issue.......sadly missed & thank you for bringing goose bumps in my life today!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Elton John's first live performance after "getting clean" .... great collaboration 👏
I miss real singers like George Michael ! Lovely powerful voice and all.
The great Elton John and George Michael. RIP Michael. Thank goodness Elton is still with us.
at the end... George said.. "Sir Elton John". Total respect for George Micheal, in that moment.
One of THE finest duets, EVER ! EVER !! --------------At Wembley Stadium, 1991,
George Michael had an amazing band. He was incredibly loyal to them and they to him. He even payed them when they weren't touring. :)
The fact that they were mainly black wasn't an issue, he just wanted talented people. Though he was a big supporter of equal rights and was very pro social justice. There's never really been ghettoisation in the UK, in the way it existed in a lot of US cities and towns. Even in areas where a lot of black people lived, there would always be plenty of white people too. Not to mention people with origins in the Indian subcontinent, or East Asia. If someone were to describe an area as a black neighborhood, in the UK, it may be 40% black, at most. I think a lot of British artists, who have gone to America, have found some of the racial attitudes hard to deal with. The Beatles, for instance, insisted on a clause in their tour contracts, that said they would not play to segregated audiences. In the 50s and 60s, a lot of black American artists, virtually unknown to white America, were idols in the UK. It was their influence that sparked the first 'British Invasion'.. When MTV started, British artist were among the first to criticise it's exclusion of black artists. See this MTV interview of Bowie, where he turns the tables on his interviewer and can barely contain his disgust at the response: ua-cam.com/video/XZGiVzIr8Qg/v-deo.html When Craig David, a black British artist, went to America, music exec's wanted him to drop his band because it was mainly white and they felt it wouldn't fit. He refused. There's an endless stream of such stories. I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist in Britain. It does, of course... unfortunately. However it does appear to be less entrenched and much less acceptable.
Well said
I've just watched that clip with David Bowie, definately think Mr DaVinci should see it
Codex7777 Knock it off with the SJW bullshit.
@@panda9144 Knock it off with thinking social justice is bullshit.
I love and miss you George Michael.
Me too😥
No one had a voice this good in the late 80s/Early 90s
Or ever! He was known to have one of the best voices of all time!
There is no voice today like his
Scott Crosby George could sing, man. Gives me chills.
George unquestionably had a great voice but so did quite a few others during that period too.
2 British legends right there. George was such a lovely man and an extreme talent. Gone too soon.
Please react to Queen with George Michael singing Somebody to love. Was a great cover. Was done as a tribute to Freddie Mercury shortly after his passing ❤️
I agree with you, George stole that show and he showed the wirld he's no longer the other half of WHAM & gained so much respect amongst not only the lidteners but he's pierce!
He was so great that Queen wanted him to be frontman which he said no to (GM is my fave singer but he cant sing Queen songs like for exampke Adam Lambert, it's just different voice, GM was R&B/Pop!
But GM's interpretation of "Somebody to love " I actually preferd than when Freddie sang it 🙄 (or is it sung)
?) anywho, Freddy had the best voice for many decades, but George did something magical to that song and I love that Queen & George Micheal ft Lisa Standsfield made cd and each penny went to Freddies HIV foundation, it was amazing and it was before George became the male version of Madonna (IF you can say that) but Michael pushed boundaries by making "I want your sex"l 💕
Anf he made European and Asian ppl love R&B because he was able to mix genres and he used he's fame to introduce "new" music (it was new back then) by singing R&B, making collab with Arethe Franklin just before he released "Faith"!
Ppl today don't know how much George did for musicians today, musician knows.
It's odd to think how similar both George and Freddie had almost same upbringing, same hiding in the closet but Freddue came out the day before he died (everyone knew he was bi, but it was more acceptable back then) I think everyone kniws how George came out 🤪 (but he made it easier for future male artists too)
I agree 😁😉✌️
Elton John is by far my favorite singer of all time going way back to the severities. He is just simply the greatest of all time.
I do like Elton's music but my own favourite is Billy Joel.
@@seanscanlon9067 My favorite is Bob Seger.
George sings his heart out that man is a singer
Elton just sings his style
60 years old now and I still get chills whenever I hear Elton sing Just like when I hear Freddie mercury sing some queen comes on the radio. Probably the two most powerful voices from back in my childhood was Elton John and Freddie mercury.
Whenever there was a Charity Benefit Concert in the UK it was always George Michael that would headline.
I can’t believe you didn’t know this song! This is one of my faves. I’ve loved it since the first time I heard it. I love both these men.
This was Elton’s song written in the 70s and George loved it and asked it record it with him.
Elton John is amazing. Love his unique sound.
George did some amazing duets...more than any other pop musician i can think of from the era. My personal favorite was the lisa stansfield duet with him. They covered queens "those were the days" brilliantly.
Beautiful. George kept the same background singers and musicians. One of the best singers of lyrics. Mr. George Michael.
Please look up info about George Michael. He holds a few records in history. He made the "black charts" and was considered a blue eyed soul singer. His band, Wham! also broke barriers as the first Western band to perform in China. As for a song or two to showcase his voice, definitely the aforementioned Freddie Mercury tribute, Somebody To Love. My personal fave A Different Corner, Jesus to a Child (it was written about his partner who died from HIV/AIDS complications.), Careless Whisper, along with the Aretha, Whitney and Mary J duets. The Aretha one won a Grammy for them both, in the soul/r&b category which ticked off a number of people. One More Try, Father Figure. Essentially you can't go wrong with him.
When an additional record he holds is that from the album older six singles were released which all went into the top three. He still holds that record.
Also the youngest artist ever to win the Ivor Novella award.
I was just listening to a vocal coach who said George was the better singer than Elton. You could hear the change in the bravado of the song when Elton came on. George’s actual singing talent was apparent until Elton came on, then not so much. It became like a competition. According to him Elton is a great musician and songwriter, singer not so much. No comparison to George. Also, it’s not Elton playing the piano.
@@janetbrown7514 Amen
@@janetbrown7514 Was it a Ken Tamplin video?
This performance has significant meaning even then. They had feud over 1985's Live Aid, using Elton's song and George didn't let Elton sing his parts. In a nutshell, George treated Elton as a session player on his own song. 1985's Live Aid was a BIG deal Worldwide! They
speak for 6 yrs, until George apologized and invited Elton to appear in key cities on the tour. This song is Iconic!
Two very amazing singer. George Michael gone to soon. He had the voice of an angel.
Other interesting George Michael duets: I Knew You Were Waiting with Aretha Franklin, As with Mary J Blige and If I Told You That with Whitney Houston.
He did some amazing covers, like They Won't Go When I Go
Exactly, he mastered covers! Roxanne is another I would suggest too.
FYI: The drummer is Michael Jackson's drummer, Jonathan"Sugar foot" Moffett!!
These two together were absolute magic.
As a young man, George performed at the Apollo....possibly the first white man to do so. Truly an amazing talent, even more amazing person.
An all time classic!!!! You picked a legendary one! I was shocked all these years now one had reacted to this on youtube. Thumbs up man!
👍
Love George and Elton. R.I.P George
You should listen to 'Everything She Wants' by Wham!, which is a band that George Michael was in before he went solo. Its a great song.
Druid Khan sure is!
@Druid Khan - ...and “I’m Your Man” by WHAM is a good one too.
Its really not
@@dene39 its a great song.
Especially his acoustic version on MTv Unplugged. Amazing.
I saw George sing this exact song with Elton on his cover to cover tour at Wembley arena around 1990. Didn’t see any tv cameras but the performance was exactly the same as the video.
Spinning the wheel by George Michael #Davncireacts
One of my favorite musical collaborations - ❤
This song is one of Elton John's biggest hits and George Michael just made it bigger in his generation. The song is about a relationship possibly ending and that is what the title is about
First time to see your channel but i saw George Michael and i clicked!!! George was the best!! One more try is a must and also somebody to love!! Too many to choose from!!!
Please react to George Michael singing somebody to love at Freddie mercury tribute concert live in the UK. Stunning x
"he looks like Elton John" ,lol.
errr,no,he doesn't.
OMG, he does not look like Elton. George was a Greek God. Gorgeous, head full of hair. 6 ft tall, sculpted body with a voice like no other. Elton is a superior Talent and has had a long musical journey. George in the UK is regarded as one of the best Lyricist composers and producers of all time. Music critics have said he sits up there with Lennon and McCartney in songwriting. Not to mention that George was the most gorgeous man.
He meant with the glasses
@@rosamiller8687 Y'all took the words right out of my mouth!!! GAWGEOUS MAN...❤❤❤
I think he meant the jacket, because at some point Elton had a similar one, and since it's quite unique, hence the comparison.. of course they look nothing alike haha
No one ever said
One of the best duo in the history of music !!!I I love this song ,good for i men u must do more Elton John .Keep them commin...👍💪👏🇹🇩
Not just the backing singers either. Chris Cameron was his musical director throughout his career too
i wonder what chris cameron is doing these days? Highly talented musician.
Sugarfoot on Drums in this and his bass player Jeffery Deon Estus was with George since Wham!
Ricky, respect for trying to get people to react to more George, can't believe how little of his work people know. Criminal.
It's amazing the amount of people that don't realise that this is an Elton John original song written by him and Bernie in 1974.
this is one of Eltom Johns biggest hits in the 80s
This song originally came out in the 70s. It didn't chart in the UK above the tenth spot. It was only when George decided to re tweak the song and ask Elton to sing it with him that it went to number one all over the world.
Two of the best love them both amazing guys 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘💖💖💖💔💔💔💔
Two legends, insightful reaction.
Best duet of all time. And FYI....back in the day EVERYBODY wanted George Michael.
you were talking about George's band, the majority of the people in his band were with him for 20/ 25 years , that includes a few of his back up singers... his bassist was Deon Estus and he had been with him since he started the group Wham! back in 82 i think it was . George always had a majority of black members in his band, and i can only think of one time where he had a white back up singer , you can listen to his body of work and hear how soulful he was...he did duets with Aretha, Whitney and Mary J , Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson...just fantastic music !
The original lyric was " Dont let your son, go down on me" :)
F off. Have you ever achieved what both of these artists have done, or given to charity?
@@willswomble7274 You have to have a sense of humor.
No way does George Michael look anything like Elton John! Such iconic guys, just brilliant, & fabulous to see them both.
That was pure magic.... I wish they would've done more songs together !
😎🎹 😎🎙
So happy you reacted to this! Love this performance! Great reaction!
Guy, you'll maybe never understand, recognize, whatever...But this was one of the greatest duet-moments in the twentieth century... Not ment bad from a guy from Vienna, but that's just legend!!!!
George Michael was so underrated. His voice was one of a kind. The reason why Mariah and Adele and Leona Lewis are around. His voice was so uncomparable that even the Queen of Soul herself had done a duet with George Michael called *KNEW YOU WERE WAITING FOR ME.* I wish back in the day people took George Michael's voice seriously the way Michael Jackson, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandrose, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Madonna, and Prince had taken him. Elton John and George Michael were solid with those voices.
George is my favorite
Yes they do!!!!
Hi Devon, Watch George Michael in concert. Maybe his 25 tours. You won't believe the quality of his voice. He sounds exactly the same in concert as in the studio. Also, notice how he brings his audience in and truely makes them part of the music. Each of his albums has an awesome mix of songs for your heart & for your feet. ( As George says it) Please play some of your favorits of Georges. I'd love to hear them, and your reaction! Thanks
Great reaction.....this song is from the Elton John Caribou album and the original background vocals in the studio were done by the Beach Boys.
Lmaaaaoooo, the Disney Movie threshold is so true. Lol
RIP, George Michael.
Never noticed until now (it's only taken me 27 years) but the drummer is non other than Jonathan “Sugarfoot” Moffett, Micheal Jacksons drummer.
This song is Elton's song. ❤
This song is off of Elton's "Caribou" album.
Amazing to think that was Live. True Singers
This is actually Elton John's song☺
This was a major performance. George was going through a Hard Time professionally and Personally. His Lover Anselmo would eventually die of AIDS, and he was going through alot of issues with Sony. He wanted to get out of his Contract but they wouldn't let him. Elton John and George worked with each other before, on a Song that Elton did called Wrap Her Up. The Two of them along with David Furnish attended Princess Diana's Funeral where Elton Sang an alternative Version of Goodbye Norma Jean. Also this was the Second Time Elton went to Number One with his Own Hit. Shortly afterwards Elton would go into Rehab to battle his Demons including Drugs, Alcohol and Bulimia. You may not know this but The Brits have always revered American R & B. From the 1950's when the Beatles started out, they would cover Little Richard, Chuck Berry as did the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds that Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton & Jimmy Page started out in. Elton was also influenced by Little Richard as was David Bowie. The Beatles also covered a lot of Motown Songs in the 1960's from Money, You Really Got A Hold On Me, Shout & Twist & Shout and Please Mr. Postman. For this music Generation a lot of Boy Bands & Girlbands "Cover" obscure R & B Songs. In fact The Music of Motown & Philly Soul has been featured on Soap Operas, TV Shows, and have been Covered on Reality TV.
This is EPIC!!! My favorite hands-down! George Micheal is an entity all his own as is Elton of course! Luuuuuv this song/ performance! By the way this song is an Elton original...not sure whose "band" it is for this performance...probably a combo of both....
Just Elton, nobody else!
You could give the original a try as well. Elton and his band really knock it out of the park.
One of the best duets of all time imo.
Dude you are a beautiful person. No black or white...just a human with a big heart. No god, no judgment, just a renaissance man. ✌
Liked and subscribed! Enjoyed every part of this. I never knew George was that smooth with it! The swag he had in this one was very Soulful!
Great stuff from George Michael ☝️
George Michael saw a lot of talent in Black music and really tried to highlight it and learn from it. It was kind of silly when he was accused to "stealing from Black music," but he took it well and just tried even harder to highlight the talent that inspired him. He did a duet with Aretha Franklin too that was pretty good.
The drummer and pianist both played for MJ on tours
Rip George Michael
Listen to One More Try and Killer/my pappa was a rolling stone live Concert of Hope, The Grave live, I cant make you love me unplugged...all George Michael. He picked beautiful tallented people in his team. Fullstop.
I'm not sure if the band is George's or not, however, check out his more of his works on U TUBE. a note also check out his band members. With WHAM and the next 10 to 15 years, many stayed with him through his solo career. And the next set another 15+ years. Some though it all. That says a lot. He has many black professionals in his band, He had only the best for his music. You should also listen to the Freddie Mercury tribute. George sings Somebody to Love. He knocks out of the park. If you really like George Michael, do some more of his music. You won't be disappointed, I promise. I love to see your reactions to his music. Please do more. Thanks, Be safe and healthy.
Two of the great UK finest singers 🇬🇧 rip George Michael gone to soon.
What? George looks like Elton? Come on, they look nothing like each other.
One of the best collabs EVAR!
Picture yourself in the front row at this concert!!!!
Thank you for sharing.. I'm on my man's phone... Mine broke lol.. amazing harmony
Please react to Elton John "Someone saved my life last night"
A bit late, but please watch GM's Killer/Papa Was A Rolling Stone live - breathtaking xxx
George with Queen singing Somebody to Love at Freddy Mercury tribute concert, George and Aretha Franklin, I Knew You Were Waiting
George Michael had that sensitivity in his voice... but he could switch up on yo ass and serve up Freddie Mercury teas real quick IF NEED BE. George was simply THAT bitch. R.I.P. ❤️
Elvis use to go to the black club's. He loved the musicians and singer's there
Great reaction and good choice. A good george michael song as far as great vocals is “ one more try”
*LOL get your mind outta the gutter bro. After decades of hearing this song that never crossed my mind... until now,*
My dad bought us a whole stereo unit and gave me and my sisters good by yelllw brick road 8 track we played it all summer
I sincerely hope that after (or before) you have exhausted the many great works of George Michael, you will do a deep dive into the many great works of Sir Elton John. There is not enough space here to list the numerous masterpieces that Elton along with his lyricist, Bernie Taupin, created together. Only you can discover this by checking out not only his hits but also the many album cuts that rivaled his hits but were too mature for commercial radio. Songs like Have Mercy On The Criminal, All The Girls Love Alice, Social Disease, Better Off Dead, Talking Old Souldiers; I could literally go on and on. I truly do not understand why more of his music isn't reviewed, knowing what I do about his extensive musical library. Please see the video of Elton John/The Oven Manuel Song. It will give you a new perspective on this most talented superstar.
This was one of Elton's first performances after getting sober. He was nervous about doing this as he wouldn't have a piano to hide behind. I think that is why he let George take the lead and heavy lifting on this one. It hit #1 which did better than Elton's original back in the 70's. Great songwriting by Bernie Taupin and you can't go wrong with Elton and George. React to any of George's live performances and you won't be sorry. I usually prefer them over his recordings. He is always absolutely pitch perfect.
If Disney is your thresholds, they won.
Elton John is a musical genius!
Check out George Michael's live, gospel version of One More Try from the Prince's Trust Concert. There's a high audio version on UA-cam. You'll be blown away.
In a time when 90% of the music is just garbage, there actually was a time not so very ago when artists like George Michael and Elton John made some of the best, most heartfelt music in history. Auto-tune and lip-sync were unheard of and not needed, because real voices and instruments ruled the day...Many of today's artists might be remembered for a decade or two....George's and Elton's music will be listened to as long as there are people still around to hear it...RIP George!
Devon DaVinci I suppose this is what is referred to as a generation gap I was 12 (George Michael was 11) when Elton John wrote this song and it had a deep meaning for me already back then. I would never think of it as just a suitable OST song but you are from a different generation it is worth the same that it does not speak to you in any other way. This is a Bernie Taupin lyric, a timeless work of art like all the others. As for having black musicians in bands I can only say Europe is a different world.
