    Wow!! This is SOOOOOO GOOD!!!! I love them both. They are BRILLIANT. What's wrong with all the haters? I know ROB LAMBERTI is George, but who is ELTON? He's great... He sounds like 70s-80s ELTON. What's his name? I wish ROB, ELTON (whoever he is) and BELINDA DAVIDS would come to Australia in a package concert. I'd take all my family and friends to see them in a heartbeat. WELL DONE and thanks for the clip too. I want some more videos of these guys.

    Yes, itÂŽs a great tribute to our adored George Michael, but, although the name of your program is "Even better than the Real Thing," I donÂŽt agree because there was and will be only one George Michael.
    we are all born to be originals, but some stay to be copies. And George Michael will always be original.❀

  • @rosamiller8687

    The impersonation is pretty good but what's lacking is something George had that nobody else had. He had such emotion and vulnerability in his voice that took his music to another level. That can never be matched. Therefore an impersonation is an impersonation, decent effort anyway.

    • @stephenalanmoore7278
      @stephenalanmoore7278 Pƙed 7 měsĂ­ci +3

      His name is Rob Lamberti, who hails from Scunthorpe and he's been doing his hugely impressive (and spookily accurate) George Michael tribute act since the early 90s.
      He's actually performed his show in front of the real George Michael and the great man himself absolutely loved it.
      Apparently, George even once asked Rob to stand in for him when he didn't want to do some promotional duties for his '25 Live' shows.
      Rob Lamberti is definitely one of the very best tribute acts around and his live shows are in constant demand across the UK and all over Europe.

    But not a fan of tribute artists/impersonators trying to cash in on George Michael’s fame
    However huge respect to Rob Lamberti, he has (some) of the vocal ability, looks , swagger , of George, he was and is obviously a truly passionate fan and would have always loved George through out his career
    Well done mate !

  • @GKOALA7
    @GKOALA7 Pƙed 6 lety +14

    Rob Lamberti sounds rather close to George. I've loved Yog since Wham! and I approve of Mr. Lamberti. If he really wants to get more spot on he needs to get out of the nasal area and drop his voice more into his diaphragm and throat. George had those powerful baritones when he belted out the endings of his ballads in his diaphragm especially, but he also held it in his throat to add that smoky flavor. ("But remember this... Every other kiss... That you ever give... Long as we both live... When you need a hand... Of another man... One you really can surrender with... I will wait for you... Like I always do... There's something there... That can't compare... With any other...")
    Actually, in JTAC, he was mostly throaty in order to make those higher registers sound more angelic, which added to the message of that song. He did it as well in Cowboys and Angels.
