Having seen George live on all 3 of his major UK Tours(Faith,Twenty25 Live & Symphonica) I can tell you he’s 100% better than any male singer living or dead. This legend could sing Pop,Soul,Funk,Rock & all without breaking sweat. In my opinion he was the Elvis of the modern era(but wrote his own songs unlike Elvis). I miss his humour & his soul.❤️🎶✌️
Best era of music. Especially watching moments like this. Makes me tear up remembering what I had the privilege to be apart of. I love live vocals or that acoustic aspect. And on top of that the song is super powerful. Has more meaning then one. You can really feel him meaning every word.
You know, as a little kid hearing this music, I never realized just how good George Michael’s voice was. When I hear it now as an adult, I’m utterly blown away. Just, wow.
One of The BEST live performances ever. Amazing. Even better than the original. George Michael . . . one of the handful of stars with supersonic tallent
What a genuine, badass voice. So much soul! Loved this song as a kid, and much more now. Somehow, the stripped vocals and the unique re-arrangement made it even better. Rest In peace Mr. Michael.
I remember watching this when it first aired in 1991. I taped it and watched it over and over again because I couldn't get over what a fantastic singer he was and that amazing soulful voice of his. There will never be another like him. What a devastating loss
Its 2021 and I havent heard this since it came out. I loved me some soulful George Michael. Those Europeans loved some american soul music back in the 80's.....Hall &Oats, Boy George, etc. Now, we have Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Sam Smith, etc.
This is how I choose to remember GM. He is totally free now of any kind of scrutiny from the media. What a great talent and from what I saw in interviews an incredible soul. Rest in peace GM.
Just an epic performance. Watched that probably a hundred times and always, in the end, feel like want more. The best voice ever and unique professionalism. Still can't come to terms with George being gone. Surreal.
How did I miss this one. Never really liked Wham and made fun of Faith, but when I heard this song it blew me away. Half naked supermodels did increase my enjoyment of the video of course, and the irony of me checking out Cindy Crawford in the tub during his "coming out" song notwithstanding, the talent to write and create this song was amazing. But THIS performance is astonishing. I watched most of the MTV award shows back then, but somehow did not catch this until now. What an amazing performance. I do wish he could have had a happier end and was not unhealthy and sad when his time came. Astonishing talent here.
Anyone listening to this masterpiece in General 2024? 💜💜💜💜

Amen
100%
Got that right Salieri! Amen

You don't have to be gay to love GM ahah
The epitome of coolness
I can't believe how perfectly tight the vocals are.

Yaaaas, amazing, unison

Took the original, raised it to 11, blew the music industry away.
31 years later. Such a legendary performer and performance. I miss this man's music! R.I.P George. You were truly one of the BEST to ever do it.
RIP Deon Estus, too, the bassist who's been with George from the beginning to the end. I'm sure he's jamming with George in the heaven.
R.I.P. You magnificent being.
What a completely bad ass live performance.
We were truly graced to live at the same time in history as this man. There will never be another Yog 🥲

It's incredible. That first 10 seconds gives me chills.

You know, as a little kid hearing this music, I never realized just how good George Michael’s voice was. When I hear it now as an adult, I’m utterly blown away. Just, wow.
Same. Wish I'd paid closer attention while he was still with us. He's unreal.
I was thinking the same thing.
I have exactly the same thing. Every time when I watch or listen to him now I feel I missed the boat. ❤😊
