no no no! you're sooooo wrong.
The fact GM gives an negative opinion about P doesn't mean he's done low quality music lately...
20 years ago he was in Wham... yeah careless whisper... Are you still stuck there?

That's a good example of an great album

Ah, and I love spanking my monkey too lol

george also said prince has let him down lately musically and that he used to look up to him and now he thinks he's done...

lets do a test, take the new george micheal cd and play it back to back with the rainbow children.. well see who's lost there substance.


I'm sorry but I enjoyed George Michaels "Songs Of The Last Century" far more than TRC. And I enjoyed years of George not releasing an album more than I did New Power Soul or 1999 The New Master. Another important key to being a good artist, is learning to edit yourself...

If you're not allowed to say a particular Prince album sucks, simply because you're not as talented as Prince, then who are you to say a Prince album is good either?

George Michael and Prince have both expressed interest in eachothers careers and music. George certainly has a wonderful voice and has done some great work in his own right.

Don't get all pissy with me because I don't like george michael. If you like that shit that he puts out then buy it. I like princes music, thats why I support it. And for you all saying that george M. is so good, put him and Prince on stage together and Prince will blow his ass away. So don't give me that george M. is great shit. I don't give a damn about george michael music. P.S. Your the same people saying that Prince isn't giving his CD away for free when you purchase a ticket and then you go and ride georges dick with the belief that he is giving his music away for free. Make up your minds.

Don't go and excuse yourself. You dog Michale's actions just because you don't like his music and because he was "caught spanking his monkey in a public restroom". rolleyes
Further, Michael IS giving away downloads of his new CD for free, Prince is not. Prince is acting AS IF he is giving his new CD away for free, but he really isn't when you have to buy a concert ticket first. Just like with the 77 cents "discount" downloads. That discount only 'counts'when youbecome a member first and thus pay 25$. No discount at all.
You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security.

Abrazo, George Michael is NOT "giving away downloads of his new CD for free". He said that he will give his music away for free in the future, but not right now.

See this is what I think sucks most about some Prince fanatics; every time another artist is compared to Prince the other artist's music simply sucks and he hasn't made good music in a long time and blablabla, but when somebody says the same about Prince that's all bullshit and they are thr first to attack somebody for having that opinion.
Same thing when another artist's actions are compared to Prince's, in this case George Michael making an entire new CD avalaible for download for free, with the request of donating money to charity. What does he get? It's all crap music and all done out of publicity stunts and bla di bla bla, but when Prince would do the same (which he never has) he would be cheered, hailed and worshipped for his gracious altruism. rolleyes



No, he should be cheered, hailed and worshipped for his ongoing ability to grab headlines. Abrazo, I might rarely agree with you on anything, but you are far from stupid and naive. Do you honestly NOT see a connection between George having a new CD out AND telling people it will be his last? Do you honestly NOT think it was an obvious, calculated way of making people go out and buy it?

You are known by the company you keep. Not for nothing is George friends with Geri Halliwell, whose only discernible talent is for relentless self-publicity whenever she has a new album out.

Abrazo,You obiously aren't paying attention to what I'm saying, so listen closely. I don't like Geo. Mic's music.I don't care if he is giving it away for free.I won't be downloading. Their is nothing about him that I like professionaly.I don't like his voice, I don't like his songs, he can't play anything well, and the man plain and simply can't dance. If you like it buy it, no big deal. You have your comments about prince if their is something that you don't like. You and George can go into a bathroom together and spank each others monkey, and take tritrosin with you.

You're ignorance is showing... His new album is number one in many countries and sold something like 270,000 copies first week in the UK alone.

You're very right there. 80% of the album is the best music he's ever made - and the most innovative. "Shoot the Dog" is the most surreal protest song ever written - like Bob Dylan on disco biscuits.

As things stand, GM has given away precisely nothing. But he's got a nice bit of publicity out of it.

P actually has released songs on the internet, for free.

I think GM will soon get bored of releasing music for free (if he ever does it).

PS P's got a wife to support!!
(And a band!)


GM has already released free music on his site, there's a download available right now and it's been there quite a while.

PS George has a husband to support. lol

Abrazo doesn't have a monkey, and if he did he wouldn't spank it because that would violate animal cruelty laws. He studied law, didn't you know?

I hope we get some B-sides out of this. NOT that I'm not glad to have a whole cd, but songs like Safe and You Know That I Want To, MAN are they kickazz songs! Does anyone think we'll ever get to see him here in the states? SoCal in particular?

Britany spears also sold hundreds of thousands of copies in her first week. Does that mean that she is as good a musician as prince. Where are you going with? Popularity does not always mean greatness.I'm not a GM fan bottom line. If you are more power to you. I don't have a problem with that , it's your choice and your money. Enjoy.

And just because YOU don't like an artist doesn't mean they are worthless either it's just your opinion and I hear what your saying you don't like GM and you don't have to but don't belittle his success or his influence because you don't like his music. Im not into Mariah Carey's music but im not gonna sit here and say she can't sing and what not.... Regardless of how you think GM is a great artist, and one of the all time great pop artists.

He recently said that he wants to tour and specifically mentioned making it up to his US fans as he knows they've been rather neglected.

Oddly enough the touring depends on how well the album does... if it does incredibly well he very well may not tour. He also won't tour unless Kenny comes with him. wink


As far as the b-sides go, I hope we get something. He made a comment that he worked for 3 years straight writing tracks that he ended up not using for this album... he thought they could be hits for others but they weren't 'him'.
