Shon - THIS is how the entire world was introduced to George Michael and Wham. It's just a bit of novelty fun now - but still a great one. George did some fantastic songs in his solo career as well. Could you please so the official videos for One More Try - and Praying for Time. BOTH will absolutely blow you away! Cheers from Canada!

I knew Wham's earlier stuff before this song came out. Wham Rap. Bad Boys. Young Guns. Club Tropicana.

I cannot overstate how immensely HUGE this song was, practically overnight. This was THE hit that year and the video fashions were copied everywhere. Basically this is the song that launched George Michael's entire career.

This is one of my " guilty pleasure" songs! My friends would make fun of me because I liked this song. I don't care, it's a fun song!😊❤

The song was silly - even at its time - but it started a whole trend with the t shirts in the video - and of course, George used this as a starting point....

Perfect pop fluff! George was always brilliant but took so much flak for this. He was 21 years old and he wrote everything, did the vocals, played almost every instrument, and produced the album. How many people could do that at such a young age?

What is even more amazing is that he wrote "Careless Whisper" as a teenager.

This was a monster hit for them. Back in the day fitness was big so it was not so unusual for them to wear shorts like this. The whole video is a party.

Total vibe of what the 80s were to all of us coming of age back then. Like David Lee Roth once said about the 80s, "the clothing smiled, the music smiled," and we all were having a good time.

I hope you bring your positivity and great attitude to Duran Duran. They ruled the 80s, as much as Michael Jackson or Whitney, the mid 80s belonged to this group from Birmingham. Wild Boys, Hungry Like the Wolf, Rio, A View to a Kill, Ordinary World, they have such great and iconic hits.

I love your energy, Shon!! Especially your enthusiastic energy reacting to the great George Michael. Yes this song was Wham!'s first #1 hit in the US and UK. And yes, George wrote this song, after Andrew left a post-it note on the refrigerator for his mom, and it said...."Wake me up before you go go". It was a writing typo and he didn't realize he put the word go in there twice. George got a kick out of it so he wrote a hit song about it!! The rest is Wham! history!! George was a musical genius, in all aspects ❤

I just loved your reaction to this video. I love wham a George Michael. The energy in this song and the video just puts a smile on your face❤George’s voice is just absolutely amazing and the fact he was one of the kindest most generous man to ever walk this earth just adds to it. And he was so handsome it is unbelievable❤

I think of the gasoline scene from Zoolander every time I hear this song now lol Wham! was so good. Loved seeing Andrew Ridgeley induct George Michael into the Rock & Roll HoF recently. So many relationships get ruined when an artist goes solo.

This song WAS a No.1 hit. At least, in their native UK as well as many other countries. And if you think about the kind of competition around in 1984 (Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Queen, Duran Duran, Phil Collins, David Bowie, Elton John all still in their prime) that's quite an achievement. :D

Hello Shon, I thought I'd leave another suggestion, if interested. This is a new artist to give a listen. He has a very soulful set of vocals with that raspy grittiness that everyone loves to hear in blues, R&B and soul music. "Joe Cocker - Unchain My Heart 2002 Live Video" (by the channel: NEA ZIXNH) --Joe Cocker was an English singer known for his gritty, bluesy voice and dynamic stage presence. This tune has a really big infusion of gospel and the blues. So be prepared to be taken to "church" lol As always, I enjoyed your reaction and thanks for sharing.

Just wanted to say, I'm happy you mentioned George's songwriting, because you're right, he was a pretty great songwriter. I'm pretty sure I remember that George once said, that Wake Me Up, was a perfect Pop song - for the time. can't say he's wrong. Really digging your reactions - keep it up!

NO, NO, NO. Look, I love WHAM and all but why does everyone react to this song and Careless Whisper and call it a day on George Michael? He was so much more than this and has a full catalog that must be heard! React to any of his live music - anything from the Concert of Hope in 1993, anything from the MTV Unplugged Session anything live. He was pure perfection live, had the best backup singers in the business. Check out any of his duets with Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige - I mean come on...who else can have duets with these powerhouses and no only hold their own but send the song straight to #1.
