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 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).

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.

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...
