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.

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.

....[/i]I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you..[i]


CARELESS WHISPER remains my favorite from George Michael...May his soul rest in peace!

British singer George Michael died on Christmas day. His publicist, Cindi Berg, said he had not been ill but declined to give further details.

His biggest hit song for me was 'faith'.

Duet with the queen of soul.

George Michael and Aretha Franklin - Knew You Were Waiting For Me (1987).

I can't forget "Faith" and "Careless Whispers". At one time, I thought he would be bigger than Michael Jackson, but his sexuality may have proved a problem. RIP.

How?

Faith! I listened to that song when it was fresh from his oven
Looked for it many years later, found it, got it and deleted it
When I got to know George and I were parallels in our 'faith'

Next i got to see him alot in the DVD series i bought- Eli Stone

May he rest in peace. I hope he found peace and salvation in Jesus Christ

I get your point though

1) Grief hits people in different ways. It doesn't have to be the same for everyone.

2) Each instance is unique. It doesn't have to be the same every time. Eg, someone very close to me died and I didn't shed a tear. People were shocked, but it was simply because the man joked a lot and I couldn't cry because I was remembering all the jokes he told. However, someone who was not that close to me died and I cried.

3) It's not a competition. I don't believe in competing over who cried more or who cried less, or when did you cry more/less.

This year...to save me from tears
I'll give to someone special'

How come no one has mentioned his duet with Witney Houston "if I told you that".

Great collaboration! The song was also a number one single on the charts.

Re: George Michael Dead @ 53! by elvisimeh(m): 9:28am On Dec 26, 2016
He most likely died of HIV related complications;

He fell into coma same period in December few years ago, which made him cancel his sold out concert shows. Doctors said it was due to pneumonia, for a full grown man? it sounded off to me,pneumonia is usually severe in children n the elderly. His immune system was probably compromised. It was all over the media, I was surprised he pulled through.

Also, he is/was gay. I was really familiar with his songs beside "Careless whisper" which was more like a radio song, not like I'd go out of my way to listen to it.

My dear, it is a competition. angry

Seriously though, I have never cried when people I know died. When my aunt and cousin died, there was weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth but I was the only dry eyed person in their midst. I find cry I no see. Even when the shocking reality of their death finally hit me, I still did not cry.

Be that's as it may, George Michael's death is painful.
