George Michael was making music until he died he was massive . He died n Christmas Day . He had so many hits from earl eighties till his death . What a voice .

Best live ever!!!!!!!!! Pull up somebody to love his tribute to Freddie you won't believe how good he is live!!!!!!!!!

It's crazy - he was only 21 years old, when he released this song... He was an amazing singer and artist

George wrote the lyrics to this song when he was 17

It's funny that at the beginning, when George Michael is facing forward..triplets!!??😂😂

His voice was amazing live.

George Michael has a very long and successful career. After his Faith tour he stepped back from touring and promoting, which affected his career in the US. In Europe he was still huge.

Seen George and Wham numerous times ,he was even better live he wrote ,sung,produced,arranged ,part engineered and played most of the instruments on his songs and George started in 1982 until he died in 2016 and was a massive artist all the way through, one of the greatest singers ever and I would say the best

Ι love George . He was an amazing philanthropist too

George started with Wham in 1981 and was still singing until his death on Christmas Day 2016 , a 35 year career . He sang duets with Beyonce , Whitney Houston , Aretha Franklin , Elton John , Mary J Blige , Paul McCartney , Queen , Stevie Wonder & Smokie Robinson .

Om😂g…he was around until he passed away in 2016. I saw him in 1989 and 2008 (2nd row) and he was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

George sounds even better live. Watch his MTV unplugged session from 1996, also the concert of hope from 1993, a different corner live from the Parkinson show from 1998. Welcome to the amazing world of George Michael 💜

Saw Wham! once in 1985 and then George Michael three times. Amazing!

He was amazing in concert! I was fortunate enough to see him 3 times. His voice was perfection!

The only sax riff I can think of that could challenge this one is Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street". Both absolutely iconic.

One of the best songs ever written in my opinion. Lyrically it is poetic but the instrumentals are incredible, especially the sax, which was a popular instrument in the 80's. George's voice is perfection on this song. George wrote this song while still with the group WHAM! but this was his first solo and this is really when he was ready to go it alone. I saw Georg Michael live when he was solo and he was amazing. Vocally gifted live and sounds just like his music. He was a great entertainer and a tormented soul, which many of the great artists are. RIP George! Most iconic sax solo is from the song "Baker Street" by GERRY RAFFERTY who is another brilliant artist to check out.

My GFs and I were so madly in love with him...the anticipation and excitment when his MTV videos came out. he was big in the 90's, too. "I'm your man' 'I want your sex'...endless list of hits. Saw him in concert in the 90's he was fantastic...amazing dancer, too. RIP, George. we miss you!

Written, produced and sang by this genius when he was very, very young like you both. After this classic, this fantastic songwritter built a solid carrear and remain one of the best records sellers of all time and his legacy go way beyond sellinng records.

Known through-out the music business as one of the best male voices of his time, he had phenomenal success as a solo artist, once he left Wham!

I saw him in Washington DC in 2008-9 and he was amazing live. I was in 2nd grade when he was famous but he was always on the radio, so as an adult I wanted to see him. Not at all disappointed.

George Michael was absolutely out of this world. ❤

George Michael is the greatest singer ever. And you will come to know this when you ll listen his album 'Older' n react on song like Fast Love or Praying For Time. In 'Fast love' s video he had predicted this Tinder culture in late 90s and in Pryaing for Time 1990 released he completely predicted the covid 2020 as if he has come from time travle. React on both songs

You absolutely must see some of his live performances so let me give you some suggestions. The Concert of Hope in 1993 for Princess Diana's AIDS charity, anything from that concert is stellar. Anything from his MTV Unplugged Session in 1997 - I would suggest Freedom, Star People, I Can't Make You Love Me are standouts but anything from that session would be great. His performance with Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert of Somebody To Love is legendary. Every big star at the time was at that concert and George blew everyone else out of the water. His live performance with Elton John of Elton's song Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me is amazing. This was Elton's first appearance after getting sober so he was happy to George take the lead but they both sound so good together. Check some of these out. I have seen a lot of great concerts in my time but no one was a good as George was live. I have never heard the man sing a bad note...not ever.

What an amazing, iconic song!

He was so handsome! Good song, loved it.

He was phenomenal live..

Careless Whisper was originally produced by Motown legend, Jerry Wexler in Alabama. That version used to be available on YT. Check it out and you'll understand the level of GM's talent. Even barely out of his teens, GM had the conviction and confidence to realize that studio version was not the way he wanted CW to sound. He re-recorded the song, spending $250,000 of his own money. Auditioned 11 saxophonists before finding the one who could play it the way he heard it in his head for years ... having written the song at 17 and believing it would someday be a hit. The rest is his legacy to all who love his music. Timeless. There's so much more to GM than his known and popular songs. As beautiful as his voice was, he was equally talented as a songwriter. He was 22 when he won the first of three Ivor Novello Awards for Songwriter of the Year. Check out "You Have Been Loved". That song will make the coldest heart bleed. Or "Fast Love". Or "Cowboy and Angel". Many singers might have one or two hits from an album. Every song that GM released is a gem, whether commercially successful or not. Because each song sounds different. Not the same-sounding song sung 10 times His first solo album, Faith, went #1 in 1987 and stayed there, surpassing Michael Jackson, Madonna and Prince that year. But it was his next album and later works that truly showed he was just at another level. Live ... he was peerless.

Try listening to George Michael live at the concert of hope his voice is amazing also George Michael at the freddie Mercury tribute concert singing somebody to love with queen amazing live

he was popular over 30 years!!!!!!

My mom love this man songs so do I

MTV Unplugged is an amazing live session. Hopefully you guys can do some reactions to that concert. He sounds amazing live. Thanks for posting! ✌🏻✌🏻

Trent'anni di carriera non sono pochi! La sua musica mi ha accompagnata per gran parte della mia vita!

Seen him on his last tour and it was so good. Hope you guys do more of those iconic hits from the past. Love it.

Best driving song - Freedom '90. Best live vocals video - George and Elton - Dont Let the Sun Go Down on Me. Had such a crush on him. Still do.

I saw Wham in 83 Leicester De montfort hall, his voice was great live

Me and my husband this was our song in1985

He does a duet with Elton John (covering an Elton song) that's a live performance. It's called Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. Perfect example of his live voice. You should check it out. As for a sax line, Baker Street from Gerry Rafferty has THE most iconic sax in pop music.

I have seen Wham! once and the great George Michael 3 times...twice in one week😊 Wham! was so fun to see. And George, well George was a life size energizer bunny with so much power, emotion and energy!! I also met him twice, in '85 and '04, and talked with him for a few minutes both times. What a gentleman he was! God I miss him so 😥❤🙏

I just visited his grave. The whole cemetery is absolutely beautiful and unique. Also my favorite GM video on KZfaq is Papa was a Rolling Stone medley. Please please please watch ❤

Wham UK was a Great pop group and George Michael was Phenomenal. I would say, George's fame was most successful from 82'-92' George had the 'IT FACTOR' when it comes to raw singing talent. There're is so many 🎷sax riffs in music. Kool & The Gang, "Too Hot"/Hall & Oats, "Man Eater"/Glenn Frey, "You belong to the city"/Duran Duran, "Rio"/Huey Lewis & The News, "The Heart of Rock n' Roll/Tina Turner, "We don't need another hero"(Thunder Dome)/Marvin Gaye, "What's going on?"/Squeeze, "Hourglass"/Sheila E., "The Glamorous Life" and the beat or sax, goes on!😉👍

Wham was my first concert ever, age 13. His solo music is even better, the dual album Ladies and Gentlemen The Best of George Michael is one of my all time favorites ❤ Love your channel, I enjoy seeing people learn of my generation’s music for the first time.

Ya George was the man.

Took my daughter to see him live in the mid ‘80’s… he was truly awesome!

Check out George Michael singing Somebody To Love by Queen at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert.

George was imo one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. George sang great live just as he did in his videos and recordings, I know because I seen him live in concert in the mid 2000’s. I would look into George’s catalog and you will see how great he was.

incredible song

He was super young when this was released! So was i I was in hs

The Guitar music was to remember his Greek Heritage.

He had an amazing voice...R.I.P George.

One of the best male vocalists! His MTV live performances are amazing. What makes him great is his ability to have the best musicians and back up vocalists. RIP ❤

If you want to chec.k out something live, check out his duet with Elton John "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", This was during the Live Aid concert in 1985. I saw him live at the "Equality Rocks Concert" at RFK Stadium in 2000, April or May. If I remember, the set was 5 or 6 songs.

Great reaction.last Christmas and wake me up before you go go are great Wham songs

Freedom spinning the wheel and if you were my woman all great songs written by George play them.

He had a 35 year career.

George Michael fame never died down. Only place he did was the United States due to the media and him coming out as gay. But in the European countries and Asian he was just as popular through the 90s and 2000s.

Listen to George Michael and Queen doing Somebody to love at the Freddie Mercury tribute. It's EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

Baker Street sax is great also.

FREEDOM, 90......MUST WATCH

(A late comment.) Good song, good video --- and even his hair was good (first time I've ever heard that reaction before) Lol! Nice clip! ✌️😎

Another iconic sax riff is Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. The outro on that one is also fire. As for George...sigh. What a loss of a consummate singer and songwriter. RIP George. You'll always be tops with me.

Great saxophone solo in Rio from Duran Duran please listen to this song Rio

He was only really around with wham five years or so, but I was lucky enough to see him live several times, and he was one of a handful of people who was way better live than they are on a recording. James Taylor, Donna Summer, and Linda Ronstadt are the other three that immediately come to mine that were way better live

Most definitely gotta do the Cover of Careless Whisper By Seether!! 💯 Playlist worthy

His hair was better than the yalls hair lol 😁

Love it

Мальчики... Вы что услышали и увидели это в первый раз??? Если так, я вам завидую. У вас всё ещё впереди. Сколько открытий.😂❤

You look like him 😂

he was one of the best tbh songwriter and performer, he was kind of like the harry styles of the 80s fame wise but with actual real talent

Please watch George and Elton John live “Don’t Let the Sun go Down on Me”. George was a legend. Favorite video and song “One More Try”. Peace. RIPGeorge

I love his music!! I also love saxophone in music! I always thought that George Michael was very sexy!🔥🔥 If you guys want to hear great songs with saxophone, you should listen to Steely Dan! Great reactions guys!!❤❤

Have y’all reacted to “Everything she wants?” or, “The edge of Heaven”

Listen to Don't let the Sun Go Down live with him and Elton John.

Im a new subcstiber, you mentioned 80s...was wondering if you checked out Tears for Fears.." EVERYONE WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD"...THE mTV video is ok , but if you young men lusten to the studio version..we trust you get it! ✌️

Check out “Baker Street” by Gerry Rafferty for another great saxophone. Year 1978

Love it🎉🎉🎉

This actually is wham it off the Make it Big album

Fire!!!

Fire!

Next react coldplay viva la vida

George was around a long time from 17 till 53 but stopped singing about age 50 i think

You sure he wasn’t y’all’s dad? 😂

👍

You should do his song Father Figure

I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO SOUND WEIRD BUT YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEST TEETH 😊

Love the original - If you like heavier/harder music ... The groups Seether and State of Mine both have a remake of this song that's also really good -

Please react to Michael Bolton songs

now you have to do the sether version

His live performances are better than his studio tracks.

Смешно и грустно вас слушать. Одним рэпом сыт не будешь. 😢😂

One of the best male vocalists of all time. Sony destroyed his career like they did Michael Jackson’s.

I was lucky enough to see him performing in WHAM! and once when he was a solo artist. He sounded as great in person as on his albums. He was a huge draw with the ladies and of course the gay community so concerts were ALWAYS a sellout event. An amazing performer!

He declare he was gay

one of the few men that could steal your boyfriend.

Now, you should listen to Seether's cover of "Careless Whisper".

For a sax song which is arguably more iconic, I have two words for you: Baker Street. To repeat what others have have written, George was well known and loved in Europe (and I believe Asia) well into the 90s and early 2000s, but the US is a hard market to develop if you're never touring or promoting; especially after his "incident" with the LAPD in the 90s, he kind of left the US market. And yes, his voice in live performances was great

What do you mean he wasn't around for long omg, he was around for decades, so do your research properly

Why you guys are reacting on songs which you have already heard?? Reaction is all about listening/knowing 1st time

George composed the sax part first and then the rest. George wrote, composed and produced almost all of his songs himself and he played nearly all the instruments. But the biggest instrument was his voice. He will always be one of the greatest singer-songwriter of all time. He was one of the greatest - over more than 30 years - except in the USA - even after the 80s. In America, people resented his homosexuality. This double moral and narrow-mindedness is so disgusting and sad.

Too bad his lifestyle caught up with him and he died at the young age of 55.

Even in the 80s it was hard to be openly gay. Imagine having to lie in your career... pretending to have affairs with other women in your music videos while you are actually gay, just to please your record company. That's pretty crap.
