      He once watched the U.K daytime show This Morning and saw a couple who had exhausted all of their savings trying I.V.F and had failed, George was so moved he contacted the show and paid for I.V.F for the couple in secret, they were successful and had a baby girl I think, they only found out after he died 😢

    There had been no announcement that Elton John would be present, but we all saw the cameras and heard that MTV would be recording part of the concert.
    Before it started, George told us all to be “as attractive as possible for the next few minutes.” And when Elton John came out the noise was absolutely deafening.
    One of the greatest concert experiences of my life.

    • @rosamiller8687
      @rosamiller8687 Před 3 lety +21

      I so agree with you even though I don't think if I remember correctly he said it was important to him it still would have been such an honor. The Man's music is timeless and his songwriting is genius. He was however honored with so many worldwide Awards. Most notably what he was proud of was receiving six Ivor novello Awards in his lifetime. That meant the most to him because he was truly a songwriter at heart. He still holds the record for the youngest recipient to win that prestigious songwriting award.

    • @mallaka8

      mallaka8 agree with you completely. I don’t understand what makes someone qualified for entry. Whether or not he ever gets in is not as important as all the thousands of lives he touched with his music and as we are now finding out, with his generosity. Seems he was bless with both a beautiful voice and a sweet soul. Miss him so much.

    • @incrediblehollk
      @incrediblehollk Před 3 lety +6

      I think the problem you run into with the rock and roll hall of fame is that they, for the longest time, held sacred the "rock and roll" in their name (for right or wrong). George, brilliant of a musician as he was, has always tended more toward pop. It's only more recent years that they've really begun to feature a wider range of artists and turn more toward a "music" hall of fame.

    George's voice is always as soft and smooth as butter, and always perfect pitch. He was a perfectionist. He would rehearse and rehearse before It was up to standards. There was a recording though with Tony Bennett called-HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING. It was recorded in the first take! )perfectly) How many artists can you say about! I can't think of anybody, can you! Keep the music playing!

    I had the pleasure of seeing him twice, first with Wham! then once solo. It was pure electricity. George filled huge arenas with that golden voice of his. He's now igniting the heavens with it. Our loss, their gain.

    My favorite song performance from George! I also love Freedom '90. The video was awesome to me for that one. It was my Era with all the Supermodels I followed and still do! I love all his music but those 2 just stand out to me.

    It is smart of you to want to watch live performances. It confirms how good these singers and players really are. No auto tune or gimmicks to fool the ear.

    I was at THIS SHOW when they shot this video. It was at the Rosemont Horizon just outside of Chicago. I believe it was 1990 (maybe 91?) I am a HUUUUUGE George Michael fan! In the middle of the concert George told the audience that he was going to be filming a video during the show. He told us to be patient because he was going to have to sing the next song twice so they could get it right. Then he started singing this song. I recognized and told my friend, “I know this song. Elton John sings it.” About 30 seconds later, he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Elton John.” And Elton walked right on stage. We were all STUNNED. We didn’t know he was there and that he was going to sing with George. We all started screaming. They sang it beautifully together and we gave it a standing ovation. Then, George said, “Okay, now we have to sing it again. I hope you don’t mind.” We all cheered! And then, they did it all over again and we were all just as excited as we were the first time. I had goosebumps! I kept thinking, “I’m witnessing HISTORY in the making! I can’t wait to get back to my dorm and tell my roommates.” (They weren’t big George fans so when I came home and excitedly told them, they didn’t really care.) I’ve been grieving for George for a long time so seeing this video was a great memory.

    Although it's hard to choose just one, this is probably my all-time favorite Elton John song. His vocals on the original solo version were just powerfully heartfelt.

    It's great that you recognize the amazing talent of both George Michael & Elton John! When listening to older music younger people don't often recognize the technology didn't exist to correct music in the studio. It was real actual talent!

    George Michael was another talented artist who passed away much too soon. He has a flawless, beautiful, melodious voice. He began his career with a friend of his by the name of Andrew Ridgely. Together they were called Wham! They recorded some classic music. You might want to check out 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go", "Freedom", "Careless Whisper" and "Edge of Heaven." Perfection! His solo work is also excellent. You might want to check out: "Father Figure," "Outside" and "Jesus to a Child". Awesome singer! I still miss him....

  • @maryfromabluest8

    I think EltonJohn considers the best interpretation of this song. He often puts George on the screen when he performs it. I know you’re a big fan of Queen. There is a performance by a George Michael of Queen’s Somebody To Love which is epic as well.

    That is the first time hearing that duet for me! I thought Elton singing that song could never be outdone, but this gave me chills! George Michael did an outstanding job!
    Seeing EJ in concert has been on my bucket list for quite a while, but it has never happened. Maybe someday.

    George Michael was so special. He had so much soul! I loved him already as part of Wham but his solo career was next-level. He also blew me away when he sang with (post-Freddy) Queen at the tribute concert for Freddy. They did Somebody to Love. Here it is: czcams.com/video/5703Rrk1wr4/video.html

  • @janinefreese3435

    Whether you react or just listen to it on your own, I would highly recommend George Michael's duet with Mary J. Blige. The song is "As", written by Stevie Wonder.

      Sadly never saw those 2, but I did get to see Elton when he came to auckland just before covid took aver the world, and even though he was sick he still managed to sing flawlessly for near 2 hours before his voice finally gave out on him.

  • @mdunawaym
    @mdunawaym Před 3 lety +8

    If I hadn't grown up loving this song with Elton John it might not have seemed odd to hear someone else sing it. I think George Michael did a great job, but Elton's gravel and breathiness is just the bomb!

  • @teensymom1420
    @teensymom1420 Před 3 lety +30

    A fun song when he was with Wham, ‘I’m your man’’. Not a mature voice yet but showed he had some power to it. A couple of duets with powerhouse women, Aretha Franklin, ‘I knew you were waiting’ and with Whitney Houston ‘if I told you that’ (video only). In that duet you see just how smooth his voice was and last but not least his cover of Stevie Wonder’s ‘As’ with MaryJ. Blige. All perfect collabs with his perfect voice. I know I and many other have talked about his tribute to Freddy ‘Somebody to love’ - I swear you have never seen anything like it. And then we could go on forever about all the songs he wrote, ‘Father Figure, Jesus to a Child, Fastlove...so many. One more suggestion, then I will shut up - his live version of Bonnie Raitt’s ‘I can’t make you love me’ is so beautiful and heartfelt’.

    I would listen to George Michael all day long and never get bored, he was vastly underrated, he is one of the few Artists that could sing a Queen song and not sound strained, his version of Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert brings me to tears every-time I hear it, it is a tragedy that he was taken from us too soon, the way they riff off each other is amazing

    I was in college when this occurred. Quite a few of my friends had gone up to Chicago to see the George Michael concert - nobody could have know that Elton would be a surprise guest. What an amazing treat for all those fans. I was so bummed I didn't go. I really don;t like when people cover songs but this is incredible. Have you heard George singing at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert? Check out his version of "Somebody to Love"
