      Linda Valdez Rob Lamberti was often hired by George as a decoy. Remember the video for As with Mary J Blige. Rob was 50% of the George's in that video. He's closer to George than any other GM impersonator. 20 years ago you really couldn't tell the difference.

      George and Andrew would watch Rob's show often. At one point, George walked to the front of the stage in a ball cap, stared at Rob, and nodded his head.
      After the show, Rob told everyone backstage he saw the most convincing George Michael impressionist. His (manager?) laughed and said "that was George Michael!".
      Very impressive Rob got the approval from George himself!
      After George's passing, Andrew thanked Rob for keeping George's music alive. He stated "George loved your performances!"
      Rob impressed him enough to fill in events for him!
      Does anyone know if he won this show?? He, without a doubt, must have! The fact he have several members of George's choir/back up singers become a part of his band speaks volumes! All of George's singers and band were incredibly loyal to George. For them to chose to join Rob on tours, speaks great confidence his abilities! ❤

    He has studied George’s movement very closely, and his voice has a very similar tone to George. Only thing missing is the star quality but that’s what separates the top stars to just good singers. He is a superb tribute act though and not embarrassing at all. I haven’t heard anyone sing as similar to George as this guy.

    George Michael is someone who could never be copied accurately, as he was so unique in so many ways, especially his voice and genuine emotion whilst singing. This guy does a good job of it, but he has impossible shoes to fill. He can bring back memories and entertain us who loved the original George, and as a huge GM fan I say he's half as good. But full respect to the guy for doing what he does, he gets money, we keep the GM dream alive through him. If I need a dose of the original George to settle life down, it's easy to find.

En France, nous n'avons pas d'artistes qui se réincarnent dans une vedette qui n'est hélas plus de ce monde. La BBC comme d'habitude offre toujours des programmes inédits ou documentaires instructifs.. Rob Lamberti devrait faire une tournée européenne en s'arrêtant à Paris et nous offrir un super show ! j'espère que cela viendra bientôt ! Beaucoup de français aiment !

    your intro did a fabulous job more clearly explaining what your representation IS, Rob; your FABULOUS impersonation of GM IS NOT to BE George, but the best representative OF him paying TRIBUTE and homage to GM. You do a MAGNIFICENT, 'right on', brilliant, honorable and APPRECIATED homage. Thank you-I'm confident to do so IS NOT an easy task, especially how well you do so.
