The Wham documentary has re-energized my fascination (and likely many others') with George and I just discovered this interview. He is SO unabashedly himself and self aware. He is also SO well spoken and it reinforces why I have always found him to be a treasure. He was SO talented, treated so unfairly by the media, and is still so incredibly missed.

@80sbabe Год назад

Absolutely the same for me ... the documentary led me on the same trajectory. He's so articulate , so intelligent and honest, and how he speaks of the American psyche is spot on. And unfortunately what he said 19 years ago still holds true today. I'm not American and what he said is exactly how I feel about the States.... They're not progressing , they're turning back the clock now. I was sobbing watching his videos ......I definitely miss him for sure.

@rosamiller8687 10 месяцев назад

I adore George. From the moment I saw his first performance with Wham! I was hooked. I have followed this mega talented artist for his entire career. I have all of his albums and all of the singles that he released. I feel so fortunate that I saw him in concert a few times before he passed. His beautiful angelic voice was something to really experience. His personality and charisma on stage was like no others. Every interview I've seen, he's carried himself with honesty, awareness and has always been respectful and humble. I don't think we'll ever see such a talented musician again, at least not in my lifetime. Someone who could write an entire songs and keep them locked in his memory until he walked into a studio to revord is something I haven't heard of before. He could compose arrange and produce all of his own music 👏 !!! The cherry on top was that he was spectacularly good-looking. It was a treat to just look at him.❤

Unfortunately I believe that George was never truly happy with himself. He did know how good his music was and he knew how an amazing singer he was. He also loves his fans and was a very generous human being with all his charities. The problem he had was with the gay community. Because he had a ten plus year open relationship with his husband and had the nerve to say I can have an open relationship with my partner and I'm happy that passed people off. Unfortunately I believe that his Insecurities and years of fame and the pressure from the press led him to do drugs during the last 12 years of his life. I however unlike some of the other nasty queens out there do not believe his open relationship caused his drug use. Sorry and the people who judge that harshly should look at themselves and shut the fuck up. Can't stand the hypocrisy

@lisadebergerwheeler7306 2 года назад

This interview is 18 yrs old. The US is still handling the same issues pretty much the same way. I absolutely adore this man. His life is very similar to mine. His songs speak to me like no other artist. His fans could care less what his sexuality was. That was just the press hounding him to be the first to make the big story. They didn't care about him, period. He is loved as much today as he was from the days of WHAM! Probably even more (if possible) as we learn more and more about him since his passing. I miss him so very much. I listen to his music every day. His music makes me feel a sense of peace, and love, want to dance slow and fast, LOL to Outside, and COL to Mother's Pride, Pray for Time, and his rendition of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, to name a few. I seriously cannot find a song I don't love. George needed peace. His soul hurt here on earth. I know this feeling. Always Loved, Forever Missed, Never Forgotten Continue to Rest In Peace GM 💖

@sinkingisland7769 Год назад

"COULD care less"... Arrgh! If this interview is 18 years old, you must be half that in age. Students in the U.S. are SO illiterate. Pay for your college degree if mummy and daddy are rich and powerful enough to do it for you and pay all accompanying fees, you pass college and move onto success, deserved or not. People in the U.S. don't know basic English. That's why we have complete idiots running this country, just wealthy offspring off wealth. You pay, you play. No wealth from the family, you're screwed, regardless of how brilliant you may be. The U.S. is sick. I wish Phil Collins would move me to His home in Switzerland to work for him (caretaker, housekeeper, etc.) so I can take care of my autistic son and myself.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL GEORGE MICHAEL INTERVIEW ! John Norris is a GREAT INTERVIEWER here.

Norris is so respectful and non judgemental of George here and asks smart and deep questions and does NOT interrupt him sharing the beauty and wisdom of who he is/was as a human being. So MANY other interviewers are so judgemental/ "gotcha" ...that you can hear in George's voice inflection how annoyed or bored he is with their lack of professionalism & lack of humanity.

When George was talking about bereavement, I can totally relate. My Dad died as a result of a head-on collision in November 2021. I was named the executor of his estate. I have been very busy taking care of all of his financial affairs. So busy that I have had virtually no time to even grieve for him. It is starting to catch up with me, too. I could be at work and, out of the blue, I will just want to sob. Although it may not be pleasant, it is important to allow yourself to FEEL the pain. It is the only way you will be able to heal and move on with your life. Rest in peace, George.

George was so predictive of this awful period of time in America right now with racism, bigotry, LGBTQ & women’s rights. We’ve lost so many people before their time. What a kind, compassionate, talented & beautiful man. ❤️❤️

@RocStarr913 Год назад

He’s be rolling over his grave to see how worse it’s gotten, even in his own country. I saw a documentary about him that aired on Britain’s Channel 4 about how the tabloid media were trying to out him and it’s revealed at the end that violent attacks against gay and transgendered people have skyrocketed in Britain the last few years, to the point where gay couples there have become afraid to even hold hands in public.

Love the interview, George seems so relaxed and happy here, miss him terribly, he was such a gorgeous man, love his sense of humour thanks for sharing, thanks for the music George♥️

George is a beautiful soul. I say IS because I believe he exists, not on this side of the veil but the other side. He was spot on how he viewed politics and the way the World is changing. In fact, some of his later songs are sooo prophetic, i.e. Praying For Time, Freedom etc. I imagine he's very happy where he is now, with his mum, sister and the love of his life. God Bless you George. You ARE LOVED ❤

He had everything in spades, looks talent personality you name it he had it. Such a humble genuine kind man. We miss you GM

despite questions being like an interrogation, i felt George's replies were some of his most open, interesting and honest in interviews i've seen.

I’ll absolutely love George Michael forever & always continue to listen to his music ever since I discovered him at 4 years old. I just love his character as well. What a wonderful, beautiful, interesting, intelligent, charitable & charismatic man ❤ thank you George for all you gave the world 🙏

After the Wham documentary I just start looking for stuff about Andrew and George and came across this interview.. George is very intelligent and very candid in this interview.. Well spoken.. And I just loved him ever since I was a kid

He was a darling. Such a gorgeous voice and extraordinary talent. I was a young teen in Canada, enjoying his music so much. It’s so sad that he’s gone.

@cynthiathompson4627 3 года назад

He was so honest in all these interviews. Getting personal and revealing.

Troubled soul with voice of an angel. So vulnerable and a musical genius. I love you George . Your talent will never be matched. Your music touches my soul. Thank you.

@marykay-yb6rh Год назад

Fabulous interview. George was very articulate even when he was with WHAM and this interview demonstrates his self awareness and intelligence. What a marvelous man. Missed by millions of people who adored his musicality and charitable generosity.

George Micheal was not a F-L-O-P, You sold over 100 (126 to exact) million records making him one of the best selling artists in the world, Grammys on this plate including Album of the year. He's Gay Trailblazing Legend...

He knew he wasn’t an F-L-O-P. He was making a very witty joke! On top of everything else, GM, at his best, had a wicked sense of humor.

What did George Michael do wrong,why are the dislikes higher than the likes.The poor man died

@TheBella2u 5 лет назад

Homophobia

@robertacquarulo1850 5 лет назад

Simple. Some people are cruel.

@janefriel6895 5 лет назад

He faced his sexuality.These dislikes may be from men who still haven't.I see men with their wives regularly who are obviously gay and living a lie.They don't fool all the people. It must be very difficult to pretend your life away.

@yogssoulmate9735 5 лет назад

Might be partly the brainwashed people who believe anything printed and told by the tabloid media, so they think Yog was a notorious drug addict, partly people who can't cope with Yog's honesty about men really only pretend.... bla bla bla 😉 and partly homophobics.

@Dimetrius87 Год назад

An absolute gem of a man and one of the great British singers and songwriters of all time, I feel in many ways underrated, because of the way the media targeted him..its absolutely disgusting when I think back to it, but I believe he was too smart and self aware to let all that bother him truly. George is one of the greats..and you left us with so much amazing music and your wonderful honesty and insights into this mad world..just listen to "praying for time" one of his masterpieces..and as relevant today as it was back in 1990, if not even more so...❤️🕊️

Really don't understand the disrespectful and intrusive fascination with George's personal life. His music is so emotionally honest; his sexuality and his relationships were between him and his partner. He was such an advocate for HIV/Aids which was huge gift for so many.

@RocStarr913 5 месяцев назад

Because a lot of his appeal was his looks and he was hugely popular with women and teenage girls.

@yvonneallen7227 Год назад

Very good interviewer , and George felt like he could talk honestly and comfortably with him . He was so humble and correct with everything he said . God bless him

@hawsrulebegin7768 Год назад

Great interview. George grew into his own man. Didn’t care about pleasing everyone all the time, spoke his mind acted on his instincts. So sad his troubles got him into depressions. Wouldn’t it be great to have him around as an older guy.. RIP George.

@AbbeyRoad74 4 года назад

So eloquent. I frequently return to listen to him 💎

@charlottaw599 Год назад

Such inner turmoil and pain. George used to say he always believed he’d die young, so I guess he really gave life his best but circumstances made it impossible to go on.

I’m a fan of George Michael but they can they have four of the reasons why they dislike the video it could be what the interview were seeing the footage key components that were said were things that wasn’t said you just never know does it mean to have anything against George Michael

I personally do not fully understand homosexuality as I am myself straight. Maybe that is the reason I am no able to fully grasp the whole idea of being attracted to someone who is the same sex as me. Nevertheless I have a lot of respect and admiration for the fact that they found courage to stand up for themselves, to be open about it explaining to people who does not understand. It must be have been very difficult to face all of this especially being a public person. George was so intelligent, charismatic, kind, talented...just like Ricky Martin.They both are great role models for gay community. I believe every human has right to live as they want as long as there is no harm to others.

The day George died was a tremendous loss not only musically but as a wonderful human being. He gave over $10M pounds to charities & people in need. Obviously he was a very sensitive man, with a great sense of humor. its just so sad to me how his last years were so hard for him. Alone yet surrounded by so many. RIP you beautiful soul.

His speaking voice was a lot deeper than in his twenties. Most people I know their voices have stayed the same even in their middle age. Didn’t effect his singing though. Great guy!
