One of the greatest concert experiences of my life.
@@dbrownthegreat Oh, absolutely. I dont give that praise in my original comment lightly either. Elton's contributions to those that love good music is staggering. Im a huge fan of his melodic works and countless other singles.
Not to mention that when it was released in the 70s by Elton and Bernie, it never charted at number one like this version. Elton himself said George made it his own and he was in awe of it.
George was such a great human; he'd given millions to people throughout the years.. but it was all in secret. He wanted no acknowledgement for it. Only at his death was it revealed. True selflessness. RIP to a beautiful man.
kj robbi Couldn’t agree more! George never needing acknowledgement or public credit for his philanthropy and good works is a sign of the true integrity of a person. Pity there isn’t more of that today. 💖
He once watched the U.K daytime show This Morning and saw a couple who had exhausted all of their savings trying I.V.F and had failed, George was so moved he contacted the show and paid for I.V.F for the couple in secret, they were successful and had a baby girl I think, they only found out after he died 😢
teppolundgren It was his choice. If ‘celebrities’ have been raised with a conscience and have some spare dollars they shouldn’t need to follow anyone’s example. They should already know. ☮️
This was George Michael's last #1 single in the US. After that he had an disagreement with Sony Music which followed by a big lawsuit which he lost. Sony destroyed his career in the US completely and didn't give him any air play in radio and TV.
Can y’all believe that George Michael is not, I say not, in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There is just something very very wrong about that. How can that be?
I so agree with you even though I don't think if I remember correctly he said it was important to him it still would have been such an honor. The Man's music is timeless and his songwriting is genius. He was however honored with so many worldwide Awards. Most notably what he was proud of was receiving six Ivor novello Awards in his lifetime. That meant the most to him because he was truly a songwriter at heart. He still holds the record for the youngest recipient to win that prestigious songwriting award.
Thr fact that George Michael is not in the rock hall of fame says nothing about George Michael, but calls into question the credibility of thr Hall of fame. He is a legend.
mallaka8 agree with you completely. I don’t understand what makes someone qualified for entry. Whether or not he ever gets in is not as important as all the thousands of lives he touched with his music and as we are now finding out, with his generosity. Seems he was bless with both a beautiful voice and a sweet soul. Miss him so much.
I think the problem you run into with the rock and roll hall of fame is that they, for the longest time, held sacred the "rock and roll" in their name (for right or wrong). George, brilliant of a musician as he was, has always tended more toward pop. It's only more recent years that they've really begun to feature a wider range of artists and turn more toward a "music" hall of fame.
So sad. I am 40 and literally have spent my whole life defending George Michael. Now people only have nice things to say once he is dead. Such a shame.
Such a beautiful voice. George Michael was very underestimated, in my view. Recognition is overdue. Not to mention his extraordinary (and largely unknown) charity work. A beautiful soul.
Absolutely right. He did so much, quietly and with no fuss. Much of it only became known after his passing. An example: a woman was being interviewed on a UK daytime TV show about having run out of health service funded rounds of fertility treatment, and struggling to afford to pay for further rounds. George was watching, and phoned in to the show, on condition they didn't make his name known, to offer to fund the woman's treatment. She did subsequently have a child. She was told who the donor was, but honoured George's wish for anonymity until after he died.
Yasmin Love You are so right. Beautiful songwriter too. I saw him live on his last Australian tour. Absolutely stunning. Every song he sang was just like the first time. 💖💖💖💖
I don't know where this was it was awesome but you should also check out the Freddie Mercury tribute concert for yourself there's a lot of talent in that and from different people Elton John being one of them and George Michael being another they didn't sing together but several other people like David Bowie Annie Lennox Axl Rose and Elton John several several talented people in that
I've been an Elton John fan since I was tiny, and this is one of Elton John's originals, but even I have to admit that it sounds ten times better this way.
julielynn10 Disagree, Julie. George was singing along to Bowie and Annie. Bowie was just watching and waiting. Bowie was a star virtually before George was even born. I honestly didn’t sense any envy there at all. Just my perspective. 💖
Roberta Colarette Bowie was much more famous with some iconic hits (Major Tom). We just see it differently. I think George is a better singer for pitch, range and variety of genre. But this was just a rehearsal. Just staggeringly good.
I was at THIS SHOW when they shot this video. It was at the Rosemont Horizon just outside of Chicago. I believe it was 1990 (maybe 91?) I am a HUUUUUGE George Michael fan! In the middle of the concert George told the audience that he was going to be filming a video during the show. He told us to be patient because he was going to have to sing the next song twice so they could get it right. Then he started singing this song. I recognized and told my friend, “I know this song. Elton John sings it.” About 30 seconds later, he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Elton John.” And Elton walked right on stage. We were all STUNNED. We didn’t know he was there and that he was going to sing with George. We all started screaming. They sang it beautifully together and we gave it a standing ovation. Then, George said, “Okay, now we have to sing it again. I hope you don’t mind.” We all cheered! And then, they did it all over again and we were all just as excited as we were the first time. I had goosebumps! I kept thinking, “I’m witnessing HISTORY in the making! I can’t wait to get back to my dorm and tell my roommates.” (They weren’t big George fans so when I came home and excitedly told them, they didn’t really care.) I’ve been grieving for George for a long time so seeing this video was a great memory.
Told ya J. George is amazing. You can’t go wrong reacting to any of his stuff. One of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. RIP George. We miss you!
If there is such a thing as perfection.. THIS is it! I have seen George preform several times but never seen them together and now that George is no longer with us we can never see this magic again.. But we will have the music that lives forever.. Ohh George 😭
Love this song. I have to say something about George Michael. He had major challenges in his life but on stage he gave us pure magic. Anyone says anything mean about him will have to deal with me. Elton John is a great treasure too.
Two of the greatest singers, almost 6 years since you left us George, still can't believe that you are gone. This is such a powerful amd beautiful song, originally sung by just Elton but i think the duet is amazing
I seen Elton John several years ago in Eugene, Oregon. When he performed this song they had a picture of George on the big screen as a tribute. He had passed just a few months earlier.
React to George Michaels Careless Whisper and Elton John’s Candle in the Wind. I’m so glad to see a young person appreciate the music I grew up with. We really did have some of the best music. Thank you again.
Military Veteran You don’t need to be so obnoxious. What kind of military veteran are you anyway? I didn’t see it nor was I alerted to it. That happens on UA-cam. We need to get rid of trolls on the Internet.
Crying to this because thi will never see a duo like this ever again. George Michael and Freddy Mercury are 2 artists that will never be replaced. Elton John is such a beautiful soul and care about the world
After George died, I couldn’t bear to listen to his music, for a long time. It hurt my heart! 💔 I still find it unbelievable that he’s not with us anymore! 😢
I've seen George in Concert twice, and he sang this, however Elton was not there with him. It was still AMAZING to hear!! I miss George so much...🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤
He was one of the iconic voices in music what a loss for all of us. I think one of the best duets in music history . This song holds its own and just has a way of hitting your soul
I am a sixty three year old man 👴. Elton John is my all time favorite singer. I can’t recall how many times I have seen this. But man 👨 it just gave me the chills through my whole body. 😲! SIR ELTON John the Greatest of all time. This is coming from a man 👨 who listed 👂 from his beginnings.
I had the pleasure of seeing him twice, first with Wham! then once solo. It was pure electricity. George filled huge arenas with that golden voice of his. He's now igniting the heavens with it. Our loss, their gain.
Check out George Michael's performance at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. There were so many amazing artists that day but George absolutely blew them all away with is cover of "somebody to love".
My favorite song performance from George! I also love Freedom '90. The video was awesome to me for that one. It was my Era with all the Supermodels I followed and still do! I love all his music but those 2 just stand out to me.
George's voice is always as soft and smooth as butter, and always perfect pitch. He was a perfectionist. He would rehearse and rehearse before It was up to standards. There was a recording though with Tony Bennett called-HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING. It was recorded in the first take! )perfectly) How many artists can you say about! I can't think of anybody, can you! Keep the music playing!
It is smart of you to want to watch live performances. It confirms how good these singers and players really are. No auto tune or gimmicks to fool the ear.
Imagine spending your life growing up listening to a musical genius and your hero, and then getting the chance to perform with that musician one of his most famous songs....this must have been one of the best moments of George Michael's life.
Yes i remember when this came out its fantastic... I was there it was many years ago it was absolutely fantastic there was this amazing energy in the air and you could just feel the hairs in the back of you r neck standing up... It was truly inspiring. We miss George.
For my birthday in 2017, I treated myself to an Elton John concert. It was absolutely incredible. This particular show was one of the first shows after George's passing and this song was so emotional...even more so than it already is. If you're my age, this is the version of the song you think of first, having been a kid when VH1 played it non-stop.
I fell in love with George and `Prince over 34 years ago and was so lucky to see them both live several times. Heaven will be a magical place with these and all the others that sadly passed.
Sadly never saw those 2, but I did get to see Elton when he came to auckland just before covid took aver the world, and even though he was sick he still managed to sing flawlessly for near 2 hours before his voice finally gave out on him.
That song... George had the voice of an Angel. I met him once, and his sister, who also passed away far too young. Both lovely people, no diva behaviour from George. So sad.
To see 2 such talented people just puts me in awe, so surreal. I shall never ever forget the fact that the genious George Michael died so young. Always listened to him when he was so young (me too!). Incredible to see them both, FANTASTIC to watch!!!
OMG two of the best people and voices you will ever hear, i feel so grateful to have been here in the same era as them , we will never see or hear the likes of them again , legends.
This version gets me every time. George's voice was extraordinarily powerful and not to take anything away from the amazing Elton. Just exquisite. RIP George you beautiful man. PS JayveeTYV George should be on the main screen and you in the bottom left.....

This is a duet the world needed.
I was in that crowd!
There had been no announcement that Elton John would be present, but we all saw the cameras and heard that MTV would be recording part of the concert.
Before it started, George told us all to be “as attractive as possible for the next few minutes.” And when Elton John came out the noise was absolutely deafening.
One of the greatest concert experiences of my life.
Amazing. Jealous. Where was it?
I saw George live a few times. Treasured memories. Heartbroken that he's gone.
JonneBurden1 - Chicago. Maybe the Rosemont Horizon? I don’t really remember the exact arena.
This song was originally recorded and released by Elton John solo but, in my opinion, this version with George Michael took it to another level.
Almost becomes a different song. 👍
Yep.....and Elton knows it too. Im sure Elton felt that next level George belted out right next to him on stage.
@@richardmodglin3900 Gotta give Elton credit for sharing the spotlight with someone with such a powerful voice.

George was one of the most compassionate, charitable and beautiful people in the industry, he was treated terribly by some, such a sad loss

The GREATEST duet of all time!!! ❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩
Yes ,equal with Freddy Mercury and David Bowie for "Under pressure"
Ladies & Gentlemen..Mr George Michael!!
The Brits just produce so much talent for a small country.
George has the voice of an angel. Needed no auto tune or band. Amazing gift that is missed! Seen him in concert once. Phenomenal!
I miss George Michael 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Auto tune didn't even exist back then... Imagine that
One of the Best Duets of all time! This is PURE musianship! No auto tune! Better than Eltons original!
Two of the best artists to come out of Britain
George Michael one of the greatest singers of all time. And as for Elton John, another great talent. Thank you, thank you so much for this video.
George Michael was so cool! RIP Legend
The crowd had no idea Elton was going to join him onstage, all the money from this record went to charity.
Always pitch perfect, George was one of a kind. Never sung out of tune, ever. Aww miss him 💓
Yasmin Love You are so right. Beautiful songwriter too. I saw him live on his last Australian tour. Absolutely stunning. Every song he sang was just like the first time. 💖💖💖💖

George Michael left us far too soon. He was a very talented musician.
Never ever get tired of hearing George sing... ever
Was lucky to see George Michael twice! What a show he put on! RIP George!
Yeah, George can sing his ass off. Ths was one of the great moments in music.
there will never be another George Michael
Watch George Michael singing Somebody to love with Queen. That IS stunning!!😁😁🇬🇧
I was so sad when George Michaels passed away he is a phenomenal singer..
I’m still sad. His death was truly heartbreaking.
Same and I'm still sad and heartbroken 💕🎼
Who's George Michaels?
@@aaroncampbell2314 you need to check yourself...
@@aaroncampbell2314 Srsly?
This was the perfect song for them to sing together. Their voices compliment each other so well. RIP George.
They really do, George's velvet and Elton with his snarl, it's brilliant.
George Michael the best. Forever♥️
I've been an Elton John fan since I was tiny, and this is one of Elton John's originals, but even I have to admit that it sounds ten times better this way.
AJB3 And on that same album, “Take Me to the Pilot” video and song is fabulous!
George even makes Stevie Wonder's 'As' sound better...
In the original Elton sang 'Dont let your Son go down on me'
You've only scratched the surface of George Michael. One of the best singers of all time
Perfectly said.Simply GOAT❤️
George Michael is my absolute FAVORITE singer/songwriter
More George Michael!!!!❤ literally anything!
That's was great but even better: George's tribute to Freddy, Somebody to love...📃??🙄
This! The rehearsal is phenomenal. Bowie watches him like ‘Dayyum son’. George said it was a very hard song to sing but it made seem effortless.

He took Elton's song and made it epic....
His voice was excellent, and it's satisfying to listen to a really capable singer

Such a sad day when George passed. I was just numb. Couldn’t believe it then and still can’t now. RIP George 💔

A gut wrenching song, if you just listen to the lyrics.
Right? I was thinking about those lyrics, what it means. Such a talent gone too soon.
Two of the greatest singers, almost 6 years since you left us George, still can't believe that you are gone.
This is such a powerful amd beautiful song, originally sung by just Elton but i think the duet is amazing
As live performances go, it does not get better than this.
George Michael can take any song to another level ☝️❤️ RIP
“But these scars I have, they need love to help them heal”. So true, beautiful words.
Leisa Stalnaker these cuts I have
@@kasie680Bernie Taupin is my all time favorite lyricist. I put him him and Elton John right up there with Lennon and McCartney.

😭 ugh that's so sad.
Greatest duet of two male singers- two legends. Amazing performance. #1 song when released.
God, George Michael’s voice was so dam beautiful..amazing to me! 💙
What a thrill for the audience to have Elton John surprise them and walk out on stage. This was an extraordinary performance.
I would have lived to be there to see and what these two gay icons share the stage on such a phenomenal song. True artists 🏳️🌈
I was there that night , March 1991 Wembley Arena. Unbelievable.
React to George Michaels Careless Whisper and Elton John’s Candle in the Wind. I’m so glad to see a young person appreciate the music I grew up with. We really did have some of the best music. Thank you again.

I thought I was over grieving George Michael. What a great singer and talent. He and Elton had such great vocals here 👏
I know I never will be over mourning George. Just...never.
Me too. This video reopens the wound every time.
Wow!! You somehow made the song even more powerful than it already is, somehow. Your appreciation of it! Beautiful!! x
George Michael’s voice was beautiful with perfect pitch. I miss him.
Oh George, you are missed! 😪 Superb duo, brilliant song. 💖🤍💖🤍💖🤍
What a beautiful voice he had! RIP George.
EPIC!! These two giant musical icons belting out this song was magical.

Why does this make me feel so emotional?
Great song and great musicians. Love George Michael! . Thanks for your reaction. Greetings from Spain ❤❤
Wow!!!! Those 2 together..
No Words.. 🎶♩🎶🎵🎤👍👍👍
What a wonderful job they both did of this song. George Michael's voice just hits the spot every time 💖 miss you George 💖
Looking forward to your reaction to Queen + George Michael. I love your reactions
You know you're on top of your game when George Michaels sings with you ❤️
Beautiful George.
I've seen George in Concert twice, and he sang this, however Elton was not there with him. It was still AMAZING to hear!! I miss George so much...🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤🙏🏼❤
You have no idea how it warms my heart to see a nice young man appreciate the music of his parents generation. Enjoy
If you want to see George Michael really kill it check out “Kissing A Fool” really wide vocal range on this one
This song is delicious!
His voice is so sexy in this song.
stunning, miss George Michael
He was one of the iconic voices in music what a loss for all of us. I think one of the best duets in music history . This song holds its own and just has a way of hitting your soul
This will blow your mind. The best. xxx
When George switches to singing harmonies it gives me chills... Every! Time! 😍🤩

To see 2 such talented people just puts me in awe, so surreal. I shall never ever forget the fact that the genious George Michael died so young. Always listened to him when he was so young (me too!). Incredible to see them both, FANTASTIC to watch!!!
OMG two of the best people and voices you will ever hear, i feel so grateful to have been here in the same era as them , we will never see or hear the likes of them again , legends.
This version gets me every time. George's voice was extraordinarily powerful and not to take anything away from the amazing Elton. Just exquisite. RIP George you beautiful man. PS JayveeTYV George should be on the main screen and you in the bottom left.....
That's Jonathan "Sugarfoot" Moffett on drums. He played for Michael Jackson for many years.
I'm late to this video but was coming to see if anyone had already made this comment.
I was just going to say I thought it looked like Sugarfoot. Glad someone else confirmed.
