George Michael

[If i told you …]

Stunning film. The ice skating scene and praying for time took my breath away.

Edge of Heaven is the one song that reminds me of Wham the Final. They (George and Andrew) made a big deal about audience participation and that's always stuck with me.

It comes across in the video, but omg I can’t even imagine what it would be like in person.

You're allowed your opinion as is everyone else. Your opinions are not facts. The illuminati is not a conspiracy theory. I'll continue to comment on what I believe to be true. As I'm sure you'll do the same. However if you don't agree with what is being said, just ignore and move on.

For those who are interested do a search on The one eyed sign, its origins & occult meaning.

It's everywhere. Look at the Met Gala & all the musicians/celebrities who are forced to wear dresses & make up.

One of my friends worked for Prince for some time. Both of us have a good laugh from time to time about the whole illuminati thing. He confirmed that he never saw any satanic rituals going on at Paisley Park

The idea of a secret cabal leaving the odd hint for people is beyond bizarre. Much closer to the truth is that rich corrupt people run every industry. They don't try to hide that they're corrupt. It's all in plain sight.

Same here and I tried so hard to get tickets but didn’t
I heard it’s something to do with the quality of the video and the same with the Wham in China,
One day hopefully it can be restored

The very small snippets I've seen, the quality looks like it was filmed on a potato !

We were really fortunately. A friend of my dad lived next to Wembley and got us tickets. It was an epic day followed by not getting out of Wembley car park until nearly 3am to drive back to Hampshire. My mother, Nan and little brother spent the day in London sightseeing and when they got back to Wembley to pick us up, walked right in and watched the end of the concert from better seats than we had

My Mother had a Brother and Jesus to a Child never Fail to get me Balling lol
You were There and You Know ( love that song as well)

I think I'm going to have to watch it again as I put it on on Xmas Eve, although admittedly, I wasn't paying attention as I was wrapping last minute, so never saw the bits where people thought she was being snide.

I think it was the documentary makers putting too much emphasis on her! She got interviewed way more than anyone else, when in fact it was Andrew who was his best friend!

 

[Sammiejayne444]

Do they have the CHOOSE LIFE tees on?! Lol

There was a lot of sequins.
Best night for ages, danced all night then got a bit weird when he was getting a bit pervy with a young girl. She was on stage dancing with him and he was singing to her. So odd

Not too sure we should expect the truth from someone who had a falling out with George in 1998 and didn't see him since then. I understand that Andros was selling stories about George to the press, hence the fallout.

Andros has also lied about things before; George even tweeted about this once:

 

[Grifters of the Caribbean]

I do wish they would release Wham The Final. Been waiting 38 years and would love to see it.

It would also be great to see all of Rock in Rio!

 

[PrincessCharming]

What a great evening. I have a sore throat and my feet hurt.
And the dubious honour of being the first person to dance in the whole theatre he sang I'm your man as his second song and I can't sit still for that

You go gurl!

Someone has to be first

 

[troutpout69]

I watched ' Last Christmas' with my boyfriend last night. He has never heard some of the music before, and was really surprised by some of the songs, especially the one that plays during the ice skating scene.

Tbh before I first saw this film, I mostly associated George with upbeat cheesy pop, and it was the first time I realised he did much more than that. It got me to start looking more into his work.

The slow stuff is my favourite!

I tagged my youngest in the post this morning and was told I had to immediately get her a ticket

Seriously your life’s work is done my daughters are 26 and 30 and they love GM

 

[Sammiejayne444]

Reminds me of the crap they sell on the GM website. Small statuettes that look horrific and nothing like George.

No affiliation to anyone involved but this looks like a great Christmas present to myself

 

[JulesWake]

Wonder what his Dad & Yioda think about these coins. Still seems surreal that he's gone.

 

[Sammiejayne444]

I went to see a George Michael tribute act last night...Steve Mitchell. He was very good, uncanny how he sounded like George when just chatting normally.

They showed a montage of GM at the end, of him on Parkinson and with James Corden.
And then at the end he said, let's take a minute to remember George.
I found it quite moving.

Tried to upload a video from the show, but too large.

This is the show I'm seeing on 3rd May with my daughter. Really looking forward to it

 

[Grifters of the Caribbean]

Thank you. I'm doing the tour so hopefully I'll be ok, although I'm hearing the tour won't include George.

I've never been, but from what I've heard in videos/online his grave isn't included on the tour due to the family's request. However, that area has been open to the public for at least three years now if you get the chance to go over there on your own. The area used to be a private part of the cemetery, but that changed more recently.

 

[Sammiejayne444]

Has anyone been to the Fastlove - George Michael tribute show ? My daughter got tickets and we're going on 1st October in Southampton.
I usually go to see Rob Lamberti so hoping this show is good.

 

[Lukeal70]

Just finished it. I loved it, I was 15 at the time and it was such a massive event. Fantastic to see how it changed the lives of so many young people.
They didnt even need to put shuttlecocks down their pants to see how exciting it was for those kids.


Edit
Still think I could remember all the dance moves to keep up with Shirlie Holliman

Parkinson - Parkinson Meets George Michael

A candid interview in which pop megastar George Michael opens up on topics such as his childhood, his early musical career as half of Wham! and his arrest in Hollywood in April 1997.

www.bbc.co.uk

It's from 1998. Just after the LA police incident so it's a great snapshot in time.
