Technically, this was a George Michael solo single. It was only released on Make It Big in the States to capitalize on their success.

Great song!!



...and again, technically a George Michael solo song. Put on the American version of the final EP called music from The Edge Of Heaven to once again cash-in on the popularity of the track.



another great tune, and a sign of George starting to mature and write more adult-themed songs.

Of course, you have all forgotten the most entertaining tune in their catalogue:

BAD BOYS

Truly hilarious!!! In this number, they project this bad-ass image of themselves. The video is even funnier! Rebellious George Michael in his leather jacket, going out and partying all night, screwing all the chicks, telling his parent's to go to hell!!! Too funny!!!

JediMaster said:

It wasn't even convincing back in the day !!
We were all like, hell he's gay !

Fhunkin said:

I remember when the video to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" came out, and all the girls were ga-ga over him, and I thought "ummmm, girls? Isn't he queer as a three dollar bill???"

Of course, I always thought Andrew Ridgley was his lover, but George claims that Andrew is 100% hetero, so what do I know??

JediMaster said:

Hehee, yes he's straight and he had great legs in that video !!
Saw him on the BBC a couple of weeks ago !!

He got old !!

Fhunkin said:

Well, he IS old!!!

Well Georgie definitely had a cynical attitude towards women back in the Wham days...

"Hey shut up chick, that's a friend of mine,
Just watch your mouth babe, you're out of line"

Here's another fine Wham! moment - Like A Baby. Luscious!

Well, he WAS wrestling with his sexuality at the time. His cynicism probably stemmed from his repression.

When Emenim finally comes out, people will note that all his misogyny was just his his way of dealing with his repressed homosexuality as well.

Love me some Wham!

Young Guns
Bad Boys
Club Tropicana
Everything she wants
Freedom
Careless Whisper
Edge of Heaven

and of course during the season...Last Christmas

Adding to the list, Blue.
Looking back, it's obvious that Wham wouldn't last into the late 80's and early 90's. It fit that early to mid-80's period to the T. Videos were really corny tho.

He went from cute camp to masculine camp on "faith"! The songs on "faith" and "listen without....." better be from a hetrosexual perspective damnit!

It's all about 'Freedom' and 'Last Christmas'.


Here's a bit of trivia: the organ that introduces the Faith CD is actually playing 'Freedom'.

Come to think of it.....oh yeah, cheers 4 that!

OMG . We were so innocent! It was so obvious, but then I thought The Village People were just a bunch of guys in funny costumes

JediMaster said:

I loved Wham Rap .....that song was too funny

My favorite though was Nothing Looks the Same in the Light.

JediMaster said:

nope! I already named it in my last post. it was the first Wham song I ever catched on the radio, and the one that got me hooked right away!

LOVED THOSE FELLAS!!!!!

Do you guys remember the back up singers that "spun off" from Wham called Pepsi and Shirley? They had a album and performed on a couple of American dance shows (Soul Train, American Bandstand, etc.), but I don't think they had a whole lot of success.

Wham was nice to hear, of course George Michael made the band, but after they split up Andrew Ridgeley did release a nice single " Shake " ... didn't become a hit, but really a nice one..I even have this album of him
