Love George!!! I wish he would make more of an effort to promote his projects in America. What's the deal with his documentary "A Different Story"? Was this a theatical release in Europe and Asia? Is it coming to DVD? Has it aired on TV? | |

I love me some George Michael, man. Faith is a true classic. His Patience wasn't bad either.  | |

A great over-looked song was "Battlestations" on one of the Wham albums.
Plus Hard Day too.  Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

I was watching a repeat episode of Nip/Tuck when during one of the scenes, they were playing "Jesus to a Child". I fell in love with George Michael again. It is easy to forget him, since he isn't promoted in the USA (I don't know why). "POOR IS THE MAN WHO'S PLEASURES DEPEND ON THE PERMISSION OF ANOTHER" Madonna

I recently bought his Listen Without Prejudice album from Amazon and I must say it isn't as bad as people make it out to be... [Edited 10/16/07 17:51pm] | |

Who said it was bad? It's his best work! Random people I associate with have said it was bad but I think it was well worth the $1.70. | |

Yeah "Listen" was his best ever work, everyone wanted Faith part2 and he did what every GREAT Artist does, he turned the corner and challenged his audience.

"Father Figure" is probably my favorite ballad. | |

I'm probably the only person in the world that doesn't know, but why did Wham break up??
Peace... | |

Safe and Strangest Thing are the best songs ever!!!
and his cover of As with Mary J is heaven!!! You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

Another Fan here of both Wham as well as the solo work. Takes me right back to junior high and High School. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

Damn i love this man!!!
He can sing the hell out of "father figure" and "careless whisper", but i love his dance hits as well, "freedom" and "2 funky 4 me" damn everytime I hear "2funky 4 me" I feel like a glamourous model ready to walk down the walk way. I always play that song when i'm getting ready to go out for a night on the town and putting on my makeup. That man has always been sexy too!!!! I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I've always had a tendency to like the fact that Fastlove is a socially conscious song but he made it so danceable yet positive... | |
