Sad to hear of his death. When I listen to music I dont see sexual preference though I just loved his song with Whitney and Careles Whispers

Glad he graced the world stage with his arr

In the 90s,his hit,Careless Whispers serenaded me on lonely nights.For me,that song remains one of the best arranged in history.

The Stevie Wonder re-make he and Mary j Blige did was my favourite video for a long time, never got tired of watching it.

It was originally done by Stevie Wonder in 1976 (and I like that version), but I prefer George Michael and Mary J Blige's version.

Yes I agree, the George Michael version is more preventable to the Stevie Wonder version

Holy crap... I'm sad...

Careless Whisper and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me with Elton John were my absolute favourites... RIP.

This version has got nothing on the original. Stevie Wonder's original version is dope. Even hearing it on the soundtracks of movies like The Best Man and Black Nativity has got to get to you.

Dave Lee Travis (DLT-A Jolly Good Show on the BBC) joked that Elton John was backstage and he didn't like what George Michael was doing to his song, so he came on stage to take over. (This song was originally done by Elton John in the 1970s).

This version was recorded at a concert in South Africa in 1991.

This was a classic for me in 2004. I had this on repeat all day, all week, for months. Adieu, George Michael....

My daddy got here on the gravy train
I guess my mama had a real bad start to the game
They went walking and she took his name
Round here

There was dancing in the afternoons those days
Waiting tables, chasing girls with the money he made
It was 1957, and love felt the same, love felt the same

Frightened little girl, she makes a break
Into the arms of... something better
Round here

I hear my mama call in Kingsbury Park
Just me and David and a football that glowed in the dark
Waiting patiently to make my mark
Round here

And I remember my first day at school
And I remember trouble, and thinking I was so cool
I remember it all, like yesterday

Don't you

Every time I try to leave this place
Something inside says, "You can do better"
Round here

So come with me, let me show you where I've lived
I want to put my hands in this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials and The Jam, to The Beat
Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space
Is the place of my birth

When all that I wanted, was to be someone.

Two little Hitlers in an old church hall
Some cheesy covers and those neighbours that banged on the walls
Andy says it's time to show them all
Round here

Please sir, we two have other plans
Please sir you would not understand,
What's going on
Is magical, can't you see
That some of us do more than dream

Every time I try to leave this place
Something inside says, "Keep on keeping, on and on...."
Around here

So come with me, let me show you where I've lived
I want to put my hands in this earth again
Music fell like rain to the streets
The Specials and The Jam, ABC
Even though I think I've seen everything there is to see of this world
I gotta be thankful that this crowded space
Is the place of my birth

My birth,
In this town,
Yes I guess I got to be someone

To be somebody
In the Beautiful city

This place I call home
These streets of London
It's everything I know (everything and everybody)
On the streets of London
I want to thank you

My daddy got here on the gravy train.

SCRABBLEBOARD:
George Michael provided the real cover for gays in the 1990s. He was an inspiration to the first set of gays of my generation. A culture which this generation has embraced with rapacious intensity.
Now that he is gone, his brilliant singing career will always be colored by his sexual preferences, sadly.

Won't be surprised if HIV was the grim reaper. The timing of his preferences lends to that, a perod of relative ignorance.

So he died from Heart failure? Lucky guy. As one of the original homo f.a.g.g.o.t.s of the music industry I thought it was AIDS that would kill him. Rot in Pieces.

Blood bitter hater....no matter his sexuality......even if he's sleeping with dogs......he lived a more fulfilled life than you and your enter lineage can ever live.

The Stevie Wonder original version is a better song in all ways while the video of the George Michael/M.J Blogs is a better video because of the effects.

I found it very interesting that he was a big philanthropist unlike our yeyebrities here who flash their fake watches, cars, houses etc but don't even pay TAXES.
Later they will be asking us to raise money for their kidney failure etc.

George Michael: Secret philanthropist gave millions to charity

George Michael was a hugely generous philanthropist who kept secret his considerable charitable donations, it has emerged.

The star donated royalties from some of his biggest selling singles and is said to have given a gameshow contestant thousands of pounds to fund her IVF treatment.
