on UK Radio 1 and its awful. The song is called Amazing and IMHO is anything but, think of a watered down, slowed down ballad version of Faster Love. As usual the hype's greater than the song.

maybe it's a grower,`i can't imagine george michael releasing a bad song hell i even loved 'freek' and 'shoot the dog'
i remember people saying ''milkshake'' was crap,
but now look at it

A lot of George's stuff takes a while to grow on me.
I ended up liking Freeek & Shoot The Dog, too.

I thought Spinning The Wheel was awful when I first heard it but it's now possibly my fave tune of his.

All of his solo work is amazing. I love every song! I know that sounds corny, but I really do. I can't think of one song that I don't like. I listened to all of his solo work a couple of sundays ago and it just re-enforced for me how talented he is and how much I love his voice and music.

I'm not so fussed about the Faith album these days (although I love Father Figure, Hand To Mouth, Kissing A Fool and the title track) but Listen Without Prejudice & Older don't have a duff track on them at all.

I never bought Songs From The Last Century.
I did get Ladies & Gentlemen tho', because it gathered up all the singles that didn't make it onto the albums.

Songs from the last Century takes some getting used to that's for sure, but after listening to it 3-4 times I was hooked. You should try to pick up a copy at a used cd store for cheap. I'm sure you will enjoy the entire cd, especially Miss Sarajevo and First time ever I saw your face. Both are beautiful.

You can it buy it new fairly cheap these days in most stores. I'll probably check it out. I'm just not very bothered about albums of cover versions...but maybe.

I hear ya CB, but if you can pick it up cheap, go for it.

Okay, I'll trust your judgement.

And if I don't like it I'll make you eat it.

Deal! Make sure you give it a fair shot before you pass judgement.

I'll wait until I hear it for myself before I form any kind of opinion. Many people hated his last cd "songs from the last century", but I absolutely loved it. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of his solo cd's and I'm quite sure I will enjoy this next one too

So you're not going to wait until you hear it for yourself, because you've already made up your mind that you will enjoy it!

You can hear (most of) the track at www.georgemichael.com - it says it's a 30-second clip, but it played almost 3 minutes before stopping abruptly.
