It premiered this morning and will re-air tonight. It was really good. I didn't know that 'Faith' sold 17 million copies and spawned 5 #1 singles. This BTM was a little different than most. They actually interviewed him, as oppose to just interviewing people in the artist camp or showing old interviews. They touched on his fight with Sony, keeping his sexual orientation a secret, his relationship with his dad and the lewd conduct incident.


Check it out.

They should just title every one of these "[INSERT ARTIST HERE]: A Nightmare Descent Into Booze & Pills".

basically

I heard about it on VH1 about half an hour ago. I'm looking forward to this one. I'm just glad BTM is back.

I George Michael. I need to check this BTM out.

VoicesCarry said:

Which he didn't do. I don't think.

I agree that is the angle of many of the pieces. I'll have to check this out. He probably did it to help push Patience. WHich is a great album. Probably my favorite for this year (yes, even over Musicology...but then again, it's Georges first in YEARS).

And YES Faith did INCREDIBLY well. Practially every song was released or on the radio. I remember his produced, written and arranged by george micheal. I though how very PRINCE.

i saw it this morning..

it was pretty good.

Ok i only knew he masturbated in the man's washroom but what did he do that made him revealed to be gay? i never got it, i thought a lot of men masturbated in the washroom

I don't care if he is gay - he's sooooo damned SEXY!!!!

VoicesCarry said:

Except for this one, which was actually a really nice installment that included interviews w/ the man himself, his boyfriend and his dad. Recommended viewing.

I agree! I'm watching the George Michael BTM now, George looks just as gorgeous as ever!

Yes, I'm watching it now.

It's awesome. I loved listening to thme old Wham tunes.

Ever since i realized "I want your sex" was about a guy i lost my interest.
(still that Faith album is pretty good tho')

NWF said:

Me too, in fact, I am SERIOUSLY considering going out and buying some Wham/George Michael CDs.

Dewrede said:

it's not "about a guy".

Wow I didn't know George fell in love with a fan from Brazil who became his boyfriend but died of AIDS two months into the relationship, man, he said that was his first real love . . . .

And yeah, he's looking sexier in his 40's, what's really up with these fine old ass singers (Prince, Sting, George)????

"If you're gonna do it, do it right (right), do it with me....."

That was a great show, I have to go listen to Patience now

jayaredee said:

he requested an audience for the show with an undercover police man

whew! thought I missed this. on at 11. i'm there.

I enjoyed the show but 2 tell the truth i am still uncomfortable when he talks about being gay
yea i know they (and even he said) you can see the signs in his videos but during that time if u had to go by early 80's videos you would have 2 say 90% of the artists were gay

WELL IT NOT ABOUT A GIRL!

THAT NIRVANA SONG

I love George too! I'd like to check this out!

POOK said:

George is my favorite blue-eyed soul singer!

superspaceboy said:

Quite a good show. No Andrew though. I woulda liked to hear his take on it. They never really go into the reason why...never have I can guess, but I'd still like to know. I'd also like to know really what his role was as apparently he got George to help him start a band. Unless it was to ride on Georges talent the whole time.

Other wise a good BHTM.

Where was Pepsi?

superspaceboy said:

Speaking of Andrew, is he really a good guitarist?

Off course it's about a guy,he's gay isn't he ! Not bi.

Actually, the lyrics are about a woman, don't know about the intent though:

I've waited so long baby
out in the cold
I can't take much more girl
I'm losing control

it's natural
it's chemical (let's do it)
it's logical
habitual (can we do it?)
it's sensual
but most of all...
sex is something we should do
sex is something for me and you

He was dating that asian chick aound the time it was made...so I think it's about her. Or just about sex in general. Sex is natural sex is fun...sex is best when it's one on one.
