George Michael's "Father Figure" VS Eric Clapton's "My Father's Eyes" Just heard, "My Father's Eyes" recently when I was out with my girlfriend and my friend, and it got me to thinking about what song it reminded me a lot of. It reminds me a lot of George Michael's, "Father Figure." I think it is the fact that both songs have the word, "Father" in the chorus and title, and the songs are about the same tempo and the choirs singing on both the songs. That being said, which one do you orgers like better and why? Or anyone else around here think the songs are similiar?

The subject matter in both songs is completely different, though.
GM's is about a romantic relationship; obviously Clapton's is going in a different direction.
I've always been really crazy about "Father Figure" - it's probably one of my favorite ballads of all-time. "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

I wanna say there is a Jon Secada song that could go in this little war too, but I can't find it as I look through his songs on YouTube and Wikpedia. MJ Fan 1992-Forever

Father Figure > My Father's Eyes
But it's really an unfair comparison though I did like My Father's Eyes too. | |

Eric's version was about both, the death of his son, Connor and about the yearning for his own father.
George's was more erotic and incestuous, in that he wanted to be his partner's "daddy"...lol. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

I agree.
But both songs are good though.
