  • Here is a speech George did right after performing 'Living for the City" with Stevie Wonder. Here, George was advocating for more music to be taught in schools. I'm not sure if this speech is on CZcams or not but this one is very good quality.

    George was never afraid to speak his mind. He’s stood steadfast in his beliefs, and let it be known. One of the reasons, that for me, he is at the very top of musicians is because he’s so passionate, and so honest and humble and caring. Those qualities coupled with that immeasurable talent he possessed made him such a beautiful human being.

    As always with George honest, straightforward and on the money with his thought process. It's a shame nothing much has changed. We miss our dear George and his intelligence, words of wisdom and guts to stand up and say something!

      I do not agree.
      These are George Michael's words about his faith:
      "The image of Christianity is very powerful. Anything that gives people so much hope is good. When I was a kid, I was an atheist; when I was a teenager, I was agnostic; now I know there must be a Force far greater than we can imagine. As for the cross, it is an attractive symbol. My mom hated the way I wore it. It was too strong for someone whose beliefs were clearly stated and mine were not."

    My god - why a fabulous speech - I love how aware he was of the world and also how self-aware he was (both a blessing and a curse) - So many thought similarly but would never utter such a speech or words like this in public. He was fearless when it came to speaking his mind and doing what he felt was right. So missed.....

    George's honest and straightforward speech. Very topical.
    There were doubts in the comments about George's use of words about God.

      GM: “I believe in God, but I don't think that it is man's destiny to understand God. Therefore we come up with our own ideas, mostly based on comfort or fear. But I think that god and life are beyond the human imagination, so I live my life as I said before, trying to make the best of it and letting others do the same.”
