My goodness, how right he was. The world is a much worse off place now without people like George.

He is very astute about politics. He's amazingly correct. So artistic and yet an intellect . Very unusual . Left brained and right brained. Excellent. Love u GEORGE.

One of the many reasons I love George Michael. A man of integrity and convictions. ❤️

George is an intelligent person and is not afraid to make his voice heard. Hats off!

George was so intelligent and graceful, so classy, immensely gifted. God I miss him.

George Michael didn't let up at all. I give him props for standing up in what he believes in.

He had a great sense of humour so confidently he is replying without being nervous look at his expression while replying these shows he was so talented confident and clever

He had passion and wasn't afraid to express it. Fair play George

I didn't know he was that smart and quick on his feet. Man, what a loss to the world.

Good for you George we need more people like you in this world so sad you are no longer here

George proved here that he was more than a brilliant musical artist. He was clearly a superbly intelligent human being who could discuss any subject with ease and eloquence. Truly a massive loss to the world in so many ways. RIP George, taken away far too young.........

George is absolutely not going to let anyone undermine his intelligence like the media so often tried to do

Wow! That interviewer was rough. George is such a Gentleman. He is clear, intelligent, polite and he does not stupe down to thier level. He has dignity and a very level head. Go George.... I fucking love you......

I love this interview! GM sounded FEARLESSLY OUTSPOKEN, INTELLIGENT, ARTICULATE, AND HONEST here! I admire GM's bravery and honesty in this vid. He gave that interviewer a subtle 'FUCK YOU' to his face! R.I.P. Gorgeously Magical George Michael.🌷

Amazing George Michael! A gorgeous man, an extraordinarily talented musician - and then on top of it, so intelligent, well-informed, sensitive, with such apt comments on current affairs. And so brave in voicing his views against the establishment. What a charismatic, lovely personality!

What a guy, very clear headed, i think he was great, sorely missed

Most impressive. The man had a conscience and courage. Praying for Time sums up the whole scene perfectly

RIP you gifted, smart, lovely man.

He was so right on all the points he made. So eloquent,so clever and so talented. Miss him dearly, and still grieving over his loss

Can anyone imagine how George would feel about today? This stuff would destroy him. George was strong, enlightened, intelligent, & so much more as a really good human being. Thank God, I live in a world where we were blessed with George. In many ways, he's my salvation. I love him with all my heart & always will. GEORGE IS MY LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN!

There was a great honesty and love for life in this fallible man. How sad that the Human Race has lost his brazen talent. RIP George. This video deserves to be shared widely to convey your talent beyond the marketed shiny happy sanitised faces of the pop world..

It was like watching a verbal tennis match, and George more than won a few of the tie breaks ;)

George was truly brave. His words of wisdom . As time goes by, it turns out that George was right! Missing him so much.

hes so intelligent, he knows what he is talking about, I love him!

If only today's celebrities had a brain and an interest in something beyond themselves.

I dont know how he knows so much about politics and the world political events. He is always busy doing his musical writings & singing & and grieving, and yet he is so informed , so knowledgeable & so brilliant ❤❤😅😅😅 I am so impressed ❤❤

Say it like it is George you stand up for what you believe in rest easy x

So here's George Michael who is intelligent, a global super star, worth multi millions and has lost a court case with Sony because he no longer wants to (needs to) go on tour and promote his music and the jerno says, "why Iraq, is it because it's fashionable?" And then says to him (unbelievable) "are you just promoting your new album?" I can't watch anymore. How George stayed so calm and composed is beyond me, i'd of punched him full on in the face, the knob!

Tell him like it is George! You know who you are and what is TRUTH!

If george never had musical genes, he could have been a great lawyer or politician. Very smart and well spoken guy without having education.

He was on the right side of history. Thank you George. These foul people are hanging their heads now.

Forever George Michael fan❤️

George's strong will and confidence shines like a bright shiny penny. He is articulate he knows what he wants and is very aware of reality around him. His voice radiates his charisma and I am sure he is singing songs in heaven now ❤

Very astute guy...

I don't recall George Michael ever "coming up with some lame soundbites" during an interview. If anything, George was very honest, and at times too honest for his own good as the interviewer or the news media then turned that honesty against him. I find Tim Sebastian overly contentious and argumentative as he continuously interrupted George.

George Michael is very bright and can hold a intelligent conversation...

you tell em george, such a smart talented man, all the best

George you're the MAN........

MY REAL MAN INSIDE OUT RIP MY LOVELY AMAZING CREATURE LOVE YOU NEVER FORGET YOU TILL WE ARE TOGETHER

Get him George! You go boy! I'm in your corner! love ya

I honestly clicked on this interview by mistake but kept watching it lol. It's the style of the show for the interviewer to give his guest a hard time (hence the name of the programme) which George is more than aware of. I was a teen during 'Cool Brittania' and I thought it was bollocks as well.

True legend.

They hate you when you’re alive and love you only when you’re GONE ‼️‼️

Thank you for posting these. It was one of the first things that helped me understand how intelligent, eloquent, thoughtful, gracious and principled George Michael was, and just what a fantastic human being he was. I appreciate your charitable take on the interviewer. I know it’s part of the schtik...but I really find it awful. As you say though, it gave George Michael the opportunity to demonstrate his acuity and grace in responding to this badgering.

Gosh, where are the George Michaels of the world when we need them?🥲

George could hold his own. Shame on you Tim for trying to write him off as a mickey mouse pop singer. He was an intelligent, knowlegable and dignified individual that would snatch you off your high horse real quick. Great sense of humour but didn't suffer fools like you Tim! True loss to the world and humanity.

Great guy this Michael.

Love this guy

DAMN, I WISH WE HAD POLITICIANS LIKE THAT!!!! ❤️

Bravo!

REST IN PEACE. GREAT MAN SINGER SONGWRITER PRODUCER.

It was indeed a watershed moment, invasion and destabilization of Iraq was followed by invasion and destabilization of Afghanistan. So intelligent, better foresight than political analysts. Brave to go against the tide.

I don't like the journalist's tone and disrespect towards George. George was a beautiful person and never deserved all the judgment and shaming.

Didn't put a foot wrong

GM, is SO intelligent, and funny to :) I was a kid in the 80's when Wham were big, my Mum was a fan of there's she was in her 20's at the time. Years later, I'm 31(Mum- 50) i have The Best Of Album, can't beat "Wham Rap" when you are feeling a bit down! :)

GM great artists 💕

the interviewer probably an oxbridge grad - and george just knocks him into a coqued hat. he was so true. Iraq/blair was a pivotal moment. RIP george

i love you so much

Luv him , he is so right,

what a amazing man rip!! :(

I have to say old George is nobody's fool believe you me..!!

Funny that Tim almost patronizingly suggests action in Iraq is well thought out and debated.. That aged well didn't it?!

the thing about sebastian is this. he doesn't listen to the answers.he wants to ask what he wants to ask. that has always been his objective.heck you can give tim mother theresa and he wld still want to trick people into going down the "sensational" bits. kudos to george for being brave and patient enough to correct sebastian most times.

Why didn't George stop the interview right after the first question that jerk asked him? George was a man of dignity and respect. Too respectful to this guy though.

George was Stella with his defense against this interviewer

somebody forgot their medication this morning lolol

GM is as smart as Brando... Brando said the Oscars were a Hollywood industry gala fix and not interested in them .. GM is not interested in record labels, single sales and saw the future as being independent including sales

un rey George te amo te extraño eras la persona mas bella de alma , the best George Michael i miss you i love you precious soul

I think he has been proven correct.

What a loss to the world, never knew George Michael in depth, recognised some of his songs but wouldnt know them by name. Truly honest and intelligent guy. R.I.P Now look at the present day terrorism (possibly revenge) plagues the west to a point where its almost expected and accepted. Whilst those that started this chaos sit back and relax with the millions they made and continue to make.

Tim Sebastian has always been a hectoring establishment stooge.

Contrary to the blurb, Tim Sebastian just does the, now usual, 'your a pop star, what do you know?' Did he do any research before the this interview?

And he was right!

He was fully brilliantly high in this interview

I love it! George letting him have it ....

U.S.A invading Iraq may have been the worst idea in the history of humanity

george........a true gentleman

and guess what...HE WAS RIGHT

the journalist is unable in the whole interview, not just in this part to #understand how art 🎨 works..and popular music 🎶 in general... he doesn't understand that If George Michael wanted publicity or to commercialize he wouldn't do a song for politics..but he would choose to do i instead a catchy pop song charting the top of the pops up ⬆.. the #fact he chosen to speak about politics through his music 🎶 in this way even risking to displease some people and parts of the world 🌍 shows how independent he was, true artist 🎨 brilliant mind, not just seating on his success but also choosing to bring social matters for discussion #RIP.

GO GEORGE!

His record sales falling? Bollocks 😂😂

this is interesting...george sounds far more informed and intelligent than the reporter...who in theory should be more questioning of this war...thank you, george...

The interviewer's (I assume devils advocate?) indignation that GM would be against the Iraq War...cut to 20 years later, he would not be so indignant...

Light years ahead of the scum bags

Terrible interviewer

6:49 GM made a good point but the interviewer ignored it by changing topic immediately

❤ George Michael's was the sexiest man in the world rip George Michaels

George Michael was smart and very intuitive to say that he was scared of Mr. Blair's attitude to the future....this is so true when i just remenbered one old interview of Mr. Blair ( after he left his Primer minister job) saying that he committed "mistakes" to attack/ invade Irak.....you people just have to be informed and research a lot more in the media. Blessings.

Ha, touché.

Why is he being interrogated like he's on trial or something?

11 September.... If only he knew then what we know now... 5.40ish!!!

Ecco perché George ti hanno distrutto. Tra le tue immense qualità c'era il tuo coraggio di dirle in faccia e non mandarle a dire come hai fatto con la Sony, solo che poi si sono vendicati distruggendoti in ciò che tu tenevi di più.......il rispetto per il tuo essere. Perché li hai resi vincitori George?. Perché?????. Mi manchi terribilmente amico della mia gioventù e sei sempre nel mio cuore. ❤❤❤

HE WAS TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD. HONESTY IN THE BIZZ DIED ON THE DAY HE DIED.

George Michael was peaceful man and brave

I hope Noel Gallagher still feels like a prat after what Tony Blair did! Well done George! That interviewer trying to get one over George it’s hilarious 😂it ain’t gonna work George Michael always knew what he was talking about and was so honest and that scared a lot of powerful people

J aimerais tellement que ces reportages soit traduits en francais

4 million people displaced

I love this guy - George, that is - so I don't know what beef the guy who posted this video has with him

its a stupid assumption that he is speaking out politically for publicity. He is one of Britain's and Europe's top superstar.

#But I don't think he should have done this interview.. the journalist already is biased, directed and with Questions that could be even characterised from rude up to passive aggressive... what's the point to give interviews to Journalists that #already have an opinion even before asking the questions to another human being and receiving the answers... also the face psychology of this journalist looks like someone who is conservative, unable to understand how art 🎨 works. He is doubting George Michael 's motive but no matter how #objective journalism should be... he could have treated his guest in a more polite and soft way. After all George Michael wanted to..bring something #positive out... with his song, like #global #peace ✌ #RIP.
