News for the George Michael fans.. US release of "Twenty Five" with new song

Nearly 18 months after it's worldwide release, "25", a career spanning retrospective from George Michael is getting a belated U.S. release April 1 via Epic. The two-CD collection contains all of Michael's biggest hits from the early Wham singles to his latest solo efforts. The package also contains six new tracks: "An Easier Affair", "This Is Not Real Love", "Heal The Pain" (duet with Paul McCartney), "Understand", a Nina Simone cover "Feeling Good", and "As" (featuring Mary J. Blige), a song never released in the U.S. A separate "25" DVD collection featuring 40 videos also arrives 4/1. A U.S. summer tour is expected.

No I didn't see it. I usually avoid this forum because of the MJ, Madonna and Janet threads. lol

This is wonderful. I wonder if he'll make it to chicago? If not, I'll go to NYC. woot!

OMG, I'm so excited. Finally. The album and a tour. If I get tickets my concert list is done. I can rest easy. I just hope they're not as hard to get as The Police.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off

Well hopefully "understand" turns up somewhere else since im not spending another 30-40 bucks on this collection for one track, since i already have the 3cd version that came out.

I like him chatting in between songs. He is essentially a nightclub singer.

Chatting is good..but I didn't like the complete silence & darkness between
every song..there was no one song segueing in2 the next..which was a teeny tiny bit dissapointing..cuz he had a great band & i was expecting them 2 b given some room 2 really play out the songs... .

Buying the new DVD
Buying concert ticket
Buying shirt from concert


I listened to pretty much George's entire catalog for most of 2004, and then in the middle of 2005, I got burned out on his music. It was like I ate too much of a good thing. However, as my remarks indicate above, if he does tour the USA, I will be in the audience. George is amazing and one of the best
performers...period IMO.

If only I could listen to his studio albums and not every word, and just enjoy them again. Perhaps one day. biggrin
