he did pretty good to have been sick. you gotta love George Michael!!!

I really enjoyed his performance on AI last night and yeah you could tell he was sick, but he still managed to deliver.

hmmm...

i love this song, definitely one of my faves of his (if not my very favorite). actually, its one of my favorite pop songs ever. that said, georgie just saved me a ton of money cuz i don't think he sounds nearly as good as he once did and i won't spend 160 bucks on his show now.

its pretty rad that he went on this show, though.

Give GM a break. He was sick and still sang as good or better than almost anybody
else on the planet. He could have canceled but he went out and gave his all. If you see him live you will probably be thinking how your so happy you didn't miss it.

Did anybody notice how excited George was about his performance? It wasn't evident at first but near the end you could see that his package had grown considerably. Check the footage.

George has done some excellent songs in the past, so I have nothing against him, but you guys are tripping. He was always an overrated singer, but over the last ten years his voice has gotten worse. His voice is really not all that great. He uses his instrument tastefully, but the instrument is limited. About a year ago he attempted a cover of Stevie's "Knocks Me Off My Feet". It was dull and lifeless due to his weak voice. I also saw footage of his Wembley gig. The stage set was impressive, but his performance was not good, although I think the flashy lights and larger than life set did the trick in conning the audience.

It was great to see George performing again. I really enjoyed it.

I really hope George brings his 25 live tour to Australia!! If he does, I will be there.

I really liked his performance last night. I am ready for his Toronto concert in July!

I WANNA C him so bad!!!

I liked his acoustic version of Praying FOr Time..but he was trying a little hard on the end. I liked how the "sun went doown on him" in the background.

That was moving.[/quote]

rave777 said:

AGREED! Fingers crossed!

did u all notice his hand movements, Prince 2 a tee! love it!

missmad said:

It was actually his hand movements that I thought made him seem drunk, especially in during the first half or so. They didn't really line up with the singing....

links? links? i wanna see, too!

You havent a clue what u are talking about...I was george live last year and his voice was amazing and it was all LIVE, no tapes, miming like MJ, Madge, Janet, JT etc use.....''conning the audience''....???

R3V said:

i thought he was just tryin too hard to get the message out

peppeken said:

Thank you... and its not like GM is conning us with twin dancers, pancake make-up, and Shelby J on lead vocals.

midnightmover said:

are r u on crack???

our george might be old, but his live voice is simply amazing, perfect.

his live singing is like listening to the recording.
he is one of the few artists who sounds 100% perfect when singing live.

Calling George's voice weak is like saying Janet Jackson has a voice more powerful than Shirly Bassey.

Don't be so stupid.

Not even dirty old Uncle Michael jackson can sing live anymore.

At least our George is giving it all, despite being hounded by the american press over his sexuality.

Bunch of tossers, the yank press, the rest of the world still loves our George.

You go for it George, show these young American pretenders who is the real boss.

midnightmover said:

He is a flawless live singer and amazing songwriter - has been given props by Prince himself. His range perhaps is limited but he does what he does very very well. To say his voice is "not all that great" must be in your mind only. I am a schooled vocalist and have been for over 20 years, not all of his songs are easy to sing - he is a very feeling singer who takes pride in hitting those notes live just like on the recording. You can;t say that about too many people these days.We're lucky to have George Michael on this planet full of pretentious crap music.

It's more like Michael will NOT sing live anymore.

Heared he rocked London last year with his 25 show, The American Idol shows just started on UK TV Tonight so tuned in to see it

Hey Donna Summer was good dam did not expect that!

its funny how people forget.

george is one of the biggest selling solo stars ever,

he sold 10 million of faith in the usa alone.

where is all the usa fans at??

looks like people still want their shit hop, as supposed to some great music by our george.

nobody, i repeat nobody can touch "I want your sex".

one of the funkiest synth driven tracks ever!!

Fury said:

Wow just seen it in the UK and he had a cold, the guys good

LondonStyle said:

Donna Summer sounded like crap. Time for her to retire. I have heard better sounds come out of my ass.

OLDHATJ said:

Yeah the sound was your ass, Donna voice was still in place

dirtyman2005 said:

I think George will be surprised by the hardcore fan excitement once the U.S. tour starts... The reception here will be similar to a Paul Weller or Sade show -- even though they don't chart in the U.S. anymore the true fans will wild-out and appreciate the rare performance all the more! CANT WAIT!!

sensitivemthrfker said:

Amen! Can I get a "Hallellujah"?!!!

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Anyone who thinks his voice has faultered needs to check it out live. His voice is currently the best its been. The touring has really toned his sound. I saw a few of the shows and his voice was off hte scale it was so good.

I though he still sounded better than anyone on stage on AI, and the guy had a stinking cold!

The 25 live show is one of the best tickets money can buy at the moment.

so did I a bit, but i love it anyways!

missmad said:

Maybe he had taken some cough syrup and it made him a little drunk.
