George Michael - What a Fool Believes (live at Birmingham)

- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- "What a Fool Believes" is a song written by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. The best known version was recorded by The Doobie Brothers for their 1978 album Minute by Minute (with McDonald singing lead vocals). The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on April 14, 1979, remaining in that position for one week. The song received Grammy Awards in 1980 for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
It's a George Michael cover of the song from live at Birmingham (bootleg). I think it's from 1991 his Cover to Cover tour.
George Michael is probably one of the few singer you'd want to sing your favorite songs made by other artists
FACTS!!!!!
THE best vocalist of my generation
Not on this song. George is great not here
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879 ? how _? That song is so hard to sing and many cant perform it ... Wtf are you talking ?
@@rolexaddict4344 listen to Michael McDonald’s version. George is great just not here. This blows serious chunks
El debarge
@@opticscolossalandepicvideo4879No creas ...mc Donald tiene una voz para ser cantante de otro género q no es el rock"...esa manera de cantar es peligrosa para la voz a corto o mediano tiempo ...y George Michael canta todo con la voz natural y nítida ...no va a entrar en esa de rasgar y maltratar la voz como lo hace mc Donald , Daryl hall,bon Jovi, Steve Tyler,alejandro Sanz , Freddy Mercury y tantos otros ...George canta todo con la voz pura sin raspar nada y eso es cantar bien ,no los demás cantantes sobre valorados por sacrificar su voz en vivo como Axel rose también ...fíjate como terminan de mal todos
Anyone who has seen the cover to cover tour by George will know he was running full width of the stages singing these songs !! And still banging these notes!! Best pop vocalist of all time 💥
Some people just cannot sing out of tune no matter how hard they try!
Still strange not having this great artist among us
Andrew Ridgeley mentions hearing George sing this cover in rehearsal for the Cover to Cover tour and getting goosebumps. He said it made the hairs on his neck stand up, but for whatever reason, George did not sing it at the live concert that evening. A also mentions how difficult this vocal is to sing. Unfortunately, George seemed to lose his glorious falsetto over the last 10-15 years of his life. But he still would’ve had it in 1991 during Cover to Cover.
I can’t tell you how many songs I never cared for until I heard George make them his own. The man could sing anything and boy did he ever.
That voice. Just pure ear candy. What a gift. ❤
❤
George michael always sings songs better than anyone else could. Always
You are right dear Cheri
Cheri Sundwall YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!
Cheri Sundwall sorry but he didn't sing this better than Michael McDonald. Nobody could.
Gordon.
Agreed, although he did a damn fine job of it. Not many other singers can do this song justice
@@gordonmarshall8397 George didn't do a bad job, it was just a little out of his comfortable range at times and you could hear the strain in his voice trying to reach the high notes.
This man can take absolutely anybody else's song and make it his own !! Amazing!What a great loss this world has suffered!! 💔
Michael was able to sing everything ! - One more time he was amazing covering The Doobie Brothers famous song "What a fool believes" ! - We miss you Yog ! (R.I.P)
Co-written by Kenny Loggins

What a treat, I no idea he covered this song!
One of my favourite songs from the Doobie Brothers, and George Michael did an amazing job singing it! Love this version.
George nailed it!!! He really is a Total Performer......!
Brilliant cover of a great song. George really does have one of the finest voices of all time. Added to that he has such a great sense of pop sensibility.
Voice like velvet. Stunning.
I love his version. Refreshingly different
And how he sings the part "anybody else would surely know" breaks me down. He interprets it differently than Michael McDonald but they both do it great!
It’s so Michael and he does it so effingnwell in this song. Truly marvelous!
@@SCarolinaX I wish Effingwell was a place so I could visit it and send out postcards.
@@edburns00 Hahahaha! It took me a sec to figure what you meant! Lol Greetings from Effingwell!
MM has mastered pentatonic inflexions and scales. Thats why he can do ad lib so well. Blacks learn this in church and even MM's piano style is rooted in gospel. These techniques require a different level of pitch control like 'waterfalling' etc. Think 'When I met you' - young MJ.
Proficiency at that level of pitch control renders pitchiness obsolete. Just as you'd never hear an African drummer out of groove.
RIP George Michael. Fantastic cover. He will be missed.
George Michael and the Doobies. Best of both worlds
this is song comes from Kenny Loggins :)
@@bogusawnowoszycki7939 Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald of The Dobbie Brothers co-wrote the song together.
Oh, wow! What a surprise!
I didn't know George had ever covered this song.
George Michael meet the Doobies. Pure perfection
George sounds so very much like Kenny Loggins...who co-wrote this song with Michael McDonald.
God I miss this man.
Great job. Rest in Paradise George Michael. He could sing anything.
Is there anything this amazing guy couldn't do??!
This is the hardest song to sing... The vocals are really intense... I'm not a big fan of George Michael, but I have to admit, he is very competent... In "Tribute to Linda" He sang THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD, and, again, he did a great job.
it's a hard one but he did good. respect.
Eber Silva You are correct this is a very hard song to sing. Say what you want about George but he could sing. The Beatles cover was just amazing. Of course props to Michael McDonald when you hear George straining on the high notes.
More than .capable . Incredible singer and songwriter. Sorely missed...always and forever😇💜❤🧡💕💞💓💗😪🙏xxx June 2020! Xxx
@@sco3putt no straining!
Paul McCartney asked George to stop singing his songs and dedicating them to his dead wife. George agreed and publicly apologised
You can't beat the original but this is a fantastic cover version.
Can’t believe I’m only hearing this for the first time. Just marvelous, God I miss him.
George sounds so good singin this song. He is so amazing, I love him so much😋🔥💕💋
I never heard this. I love it so much. I love you George🔥💕💋
Such an amazing version of the greatest pop song ever.. George you will be missed.
TheDive25 defenetely Michaels were on the same wave
yeah might be the greatest -- has soul/rock sound -- sounds great whoever sings it -- feel good every time you hear it
@@tommym7646 it doesnt sound good whoever sings it man, such a hard song to sing correctly. Anyone who can genuinely pull this song off must be able to sing. George had great taste im music.
@@angryquim7836 yep. A hard song to sing. He obviously had the original in his veins. Put in his own touches to this, which may not have been the most successful, but I absolutely give him kudos for this. :)
Very hard song to copy yet he makes it fabulous X
I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FROM THE THE VERY MOMENT GEORGE BEGAN HIS CAREER HE IS THE BEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME WHAT A RIDE WHAT A RESUME NO ONE COMES CLOSE R.I.P
Bullshit!
This is solid. Come back George.
what a voice
Leaves behind a geat body of work that will live on for an eternity...GOD BLESS!!!..RIP
this is the best cover version of this theme i ever heard, i think G. Micheal should to recorded ...
The one and only George Michael. RIP
George reigns supreme. He is the quintessential karaoke night sensation.
This guy has always known how to sing and be original
God every cover he slayed it! Love u GEORGE
I love George and I love the song.......he kills it
George could be singing row row row your boat and I would give a shit less. No matter what he sings or the opinion of quality a fan is fan. Do yo thang GM...these critics wish they had even half of your talent.
One tiny fraction of his talent!
Haha I said to my husband the other day I didn't care if he sang Mary Had A Little Lamb, I'd think it was the greatest song ever lol
Amazing! Bless you George! RIP! Soar with the angels you beautiful man.
Mr. George Michael, you have done justice to this classic. Can you not allow a DUET with Mr. Mcdonald. Consider this. A FULL concert using BOTH your contributions to music. Friends of yours could stage a show to outdo all others in our OLYMPIC YEAR.
Great version by one of the great talents of our time!
Just came across this; always loved the song, always loved GM, awesome cover. So glad he sang other songs besides his own amazing ones.
Amazing version and what a beautiful voice ! Rip George.
George did very, very good indeed. He is an excellent singer!
Beautiful voice and version ✨
He killed it
Great performance! Intense soul Voice! Viva George Michael!
Hundered times thank you (both to George and to you for sharing this video/sound of heaven with us) !!!
The best ...😳😳
"She had a place in his life. He always left with nothing..."
R.I.P George Michael
God, I hope somewhere there's professional recordings of the C2C tour to be released
Yeah that would be great.
there is, David Austin confirmed this in an itv with The Guardian. Killer/Papa was a Rolling Stone and Don't let the sun go down on me were also taken from that tour
@@frankvanachter4692 Any progress on how we can get a copy of a good sound recording on this? Totally essential!
George Michael is an incredible talent, now if he could only STRAIGHTEN OUT his life.
fantastic artist amazing voice
Magnifique voix ! J'adore cette chanson !un grand artiste qui a marqué une belle époque, il était unique 💟👍🙏
Comment pourrait en oublier l'homme exptionnelle que tu etais? Tu ce que tu chantais, faisait, etait de l'or. Je ne t'oublierais jamais. My lover George R.I.P
That's one awesome cover.

He should do this as a "Duets" with Micheal McDonald. Even as a single, it should do well. A classic regardless!!
