He wanted to do his inspiration proud... Performing '39, Somebody To Love and These Are The Days Of Our Lives were the proudest moments of his career, as he said

That's why he was the best ❤

He also said he knew this would probably be the last performance that Anselmo was able to see, that this was his "loudest prayer" ---from his autobiography

He was the only person besides Freddie that could do this song justice.

@@magicmike6961 what a homophobe. Must suck to be so self-loathing

A fantastic talent and hugely missed x

@@magicmike6961 What an idiot

Diivine!

George Michael David Bowie

YES THE ONLY ONE!!!!

a rehearsal, at that. x :)

Adam Lambert

With respect not in the same ball park as George and Freddie

Totally! He had an amazing voice!!

The one and only

My thoughts exactly!

This post is from 12 years ago and can you imagine by the time he died he sold 115 million records in his lifetime. He's still the youngest recipient of the Ivor novello award for writing Careless Whisper at the age of 17. He still holds that record. He's also the highest paid performer to perform at a private event. He was paid 3 million pounds for an hour's worth of work. An off the top of my head his album older released six singles that went into the top three. No other artist I believe has had that. He is one amazing artist. Love him, my favorite

Mad to think I wasnt even born when this comment was written

Mr Dave have u seen Tom Chaplin singin Queen? i agree with amazing George, but also put Tom in that 2 people list. R.I.P. Geoge and tanks for all!!

Ariel Eliçabe And Marc Martel...

i personally prefer George than Freddie... even singing Queen hits... George sounds smoother

If you didn't here that guy from the voice named Jordan smith who won the show, he sang it just as well. Seriously

@@juandef4115 His live cover is comparable to the original, recorded in 5 weeks. That's saying a ton, tbh.... And it's the best live performance of all time imo, tied with Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me..

Like Wolverine and Zac Efron had a baby. I bet he smells really good, nohomo

Yummy!

Don't forget Sinatra ...he said George Michael was one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.

Yes Love it

Linghhbvf

By a mile the best moment of an utterly incredible video.

True musicians appreciate true music. What a loss to us all Freddie, Bowie and George were.

*legends of all time

Hall oft famer

Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson omg I love your screen name!! 😂😂😂

If I made you smile, then I did my job. Peace.

Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson YOUR NAME 😂 love this and you

Just seen it. Yes, you did your job. RIP George!

He admitted himself that this performance was the one known as the greatest of his career.

Marc Martel in fact sang the live versions of Bohemian Rhapsody

Jennifer Brigitte I'm sure they're in a big circle jerk in hell

that thought makes me happy too

That makes me smile Jennifer :-)

Jennifer Brigitte I like that!

Jennifer Brigitte, what a beautiful thought. I'm so tired of the hatred. Some need to go back to church. The way I look at it is there is ONLY 1 person to judge and that's Jesus Christ. So if you're initials aren't J.C., you need to take your ugly, evil head somewhere else who gives a damn of your opinion.

And Prince

and Michael Jackson

Hendo9 What about Freddie????

They're not actually in this video, hence not being mentioned... but of course, there's one hell of a supergroup of musical artists up there!

Hendo9 If heaven existed.

devans00 one at the beginning and one at the end

devans00 i feel Bowie may have had a clue

Yeah, David died in January and George died in December. Alpha/Omega. The beginning and the end.

Bowie knew he was going soon

@@terencedempsey151 Yeah, Bowie didn't look all that excited...

He did indeed!!

When he smiles while you're singing, you done good!!

Bowie didn't help at all, I'm confused!!?!!!!!!!

@@ahamieed That person meant clapping at the end.

It's such a huge problem, talented artists becoming so depressed, money etc didn't bring true happiness to most of them. Good to watch David Bowie in that rehearsal aswell. R.i.p. them.

Same here. I've been having a George Michael marathon for over a month. I always loved his music but see I missed quite a bit of his discography.

I only knew about Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Freedom until this year. I'm 26 years old and regret sleeping on one of the greatest artists of my lifetime. I think had it not been for his battle against Sony he could have done a lot more original work. I know he did 2 other albums but they didn't do well in the U.S. His biggest crime was wanting more control over the direction of his image and career. Tbh he deserves to have a bigger legacy than Michael Jackson, an accused pedophile. His Wham songs and songs from his first 2 albums Sadly he may be an artist the new generation forgets entirely. Can we name any American artists who were inspired by George Michael? I can only name UK artists Adele and Sam Smith.

That makes me sad that you discovered him after his death. I followed him since the moment I saw him as a teenager on top of the Pops. Even when he walked away from the US market I managed to find all of his music. He was a legend in the UK. The man won six Ivor novello awards for songwriting and that is no small feat. I love love love his music and what he has left us behind is truly golden.

@@rosamiller8687 sadly because when it comes to solo artists America tend to prefer American artists and in the 80s onward that meant Michael Jackson and Prince even though I now count George Michael as a contemporary. It was even hard for David Bowie and Queen to break through in the U.S. Sadly, George's other work didn't translate well to the U.S. and he did himself no favors with his Sony battle. I'm left wondering what Listen Without Prejudice Vol 2 would have been like.

Hi you're beautiful 😊

joe murphy yes! Love love love!

It's fucking majestic man. It's beautiful.

Brian May was the best stadium guitarist i've ever seen. Saw Queen twice at Boston Garden....Freddie was flamboyant is an understatement. The rest of the band was okey, too....

@Joe Murphy And all dead of AIDS within a few years of each other.

Bowie died of cancer, and George Michael died of heart and liver disease....

Yes,mine too.RIP cutie pie.Such an amazing singer.

Brian May does play some fine guitar but he was a guitarist first.

Not only does he play some fine guitar, he built his... the Red Special.

Nope, and we've got to give the drummer some.

He is first class

Astrophysic actually.. 😉

Genial 👌 saludos 👏👋👋👋
