Wham!- If You Were There


One of my favorite(in the top 4) bands! I'm loving "If You Were There" and have it on repeat on my mp3 player.

Who else loves this song?

I prefer the original, but this is still a great cover.

I love it 2! It's in my Top 10 Wham/GM songs. My second favorite is Everything She Wants

I liked the IB's version. Never heard Wham!'s version.

Close your eyes and I'll bet you can imagine it. He doesn't play it as cool or laid back as Ronald does, but it sounds about how you'd think. It's a good cover.

IIRC, the video uses the extended (12") version of "Everything She Wants." It's available on multiple albums, including The Final and George's Twenty Five.

I'm not sure what you mean by the second question. "If You Were There" is on their second album, Make It Big.
