"i don't have the words.
This year has cruelly taken so many fine people way too young.
And George?
That gentle boy?
All that beautiful talent?
Can't begin to compute this.
RIP George.
Sing with Freddie. And the Angels."
Brian May

More than 30 years later and George's performance hasn't lost any of its magic. Miss Freddie, miss George - both outstanding artists.
the best song ever,im scorpions fan but this song is the best ever
I feel the same way. Back then, concerts were still spectacles. The spirit is incredible. George Michael at his best. Brian May's solo. And the undivided attention of the audience. And everyone claps along because no one has to hold their f**king mobile phone. Those were the days...@@damirhales6137
George Michael was 100% the right person to sing this song. He sounds amazing. It’s so sad he’s gone now too. God bless you George. We miss you.
He is indeed. RIP George & Freddy
Lontoo
George could have been queen's vocalist
ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT GEORGE MICHAEL (RIP) WAS THE 1 AND ONLY CLOSET TO FREDDIE (RIP) AND STILL PUT A LITTLE OF HIS OWN INCREDIBLE TALENT TO RESPECTFULLY FRONT QUEEN AFTER FREDDIE PASSED.
GREATEST TRIBUTE IMO OF THIS INCREDIBLE RELIGIOUS TRIBUTE TO AN INCREDIBLE ARTIST.
PEACE,
Tom 🍀✌
Freddie and George are singing together in heaven.
Love George’s cover of this. He didn’t try to imitate Freddy’s pitch like everyone else. He just sung it with Freddie’s passion with his own voice.
Incredibly beautiful performance with his unique wonderful colourful voice.Like a beautiful flower on the stage.
I will miss both Freddie Mercury And George Michael!!!
he felt this song due to what was going on in his life at the time it's so sad knowing now what we did not know then
Yep. Best cover ever. Brian's smile says it all
True but at the same time their voices are quite similar really
What a voice! Freddie Mercury and George Michael (R.I.P., both)
RIP. Best Queen cover ever. :(
Totally agree.
Steve Dakota Same too man. He really rocked this with Queen! RIP George Michael
Jennifer Felan We're on the same sheet of music. I liked Freddie Mercury and Queen. Especially at Live Aid. But this performance of "Somebody to Love" by George Michael is a masterpiece. "Father Figure" was my other fave. Takes me back to a different time, and a different place. May they both RIP.
Steve Dakota Amen to that.👏
MajorPhilGraves 🖒
Wish they would have a tribute concert for George Michael. He really deserves one
Wish I could give this a thousand likes!
Sisu Power thanx for agreeing 😀
He really deserves a tribute concert but who should sing? Imagine the both tributes on by Adele and the one with Chris Martin? Both were horrible for me, not brilliant enough to celebrate George Michael's music career. The truth is no one is really to able sing a tribute song. When you look at this concert who was all on stage? The Queen members, David Bowie, Elton John, Axl Rose, Annie Lennox, Lisa Stansfield, Seal.....stars with a special caliber. Stars like them are really rare.
ladymay30 that is so true too. I can't really think of anyone who would do George Michael justice but u never know, there might be a surprise
Maybe let us see :-)
George Michael: "It was probably the proudest moment of my career, because it was me living out a childhood fantasy: to sing one of Freddie's songs in front of 80,000 people."

@@gabo3color You're not a Queen fan, are you?
Nobody in this tribute to Freddie (Queen) came close to this Magnificent performance by George.
Let it be known ( look it up online) that George practiced w Queen for 3 weeks, in order to get perfection❣️ that’s dedication to your friend and his body of work AND pride to deliver the best tribute possible by George.
Who would have thought we’d be here today without both these AMAZING ARTISTS 😞😞💓
@@susanscanlonlouth7172 Totally agree!!! Amazing performance... pity, he’s gone too 😞 Next best is Lennox and Bowie, wonderful performance
Queen Fans: Anything that makes you look good will be a childhood fantasy.
There may be performances as good as this…but I don’t think there is a better performance by any band..ever. This is fucking perfect. George is (was) a goddamn amazing singer…powerful voice…showman on stage…the band was incredible…the crowd at the stadium…clapping and singing in unison…what a fucking incredible performance by these guys…did they do a better version of this live even with Freddie??? I don’t think so. Goosebumps. Chills. Every time I watch it. RIP Freddie. RIP George.
👏👏👏👏
I’m a massive George Micheal and Prince fan saw both of them many times, I would say Prince’s Super Bowl performance has the stars lined just like this performance,
He was simply perfect for this❤
FREDDIE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND POSSESSED GEORGE MICHAEL!!!!! YES, FREDDIE, WE STILL LOVE YOU... ALWAYS!!!!
yes he did!!! gave me chills!
This performance alone is enough for George Michael to gain immortality.

I love the smile that Brian May gets after the crowd sings and George says “Yeah!”
Perhaps a little flashback to how Freddy used to control the crowd so magically.
Well there was nobody on this planet except George Michael capable of equaling Freddy
Right before George says "Yeah!" Brian walks back to Roger, then actually looks over at George and you can hear him say, "Sweet!" Your right, Brian was grinning ear to ear!
Totalmente de acuerdo!!
I always thought Brian was smiling because of the audience delivering the line at the end like Freddy does on the studio version. “Somebody toooo, Come on Loooouuuuvve Yeah”
Ame ese momento ❤❤❤❤
2024 and still magical!! RIP Freddie and George ❤️🙏
As a huge Queen fan, I am confident that this is the BEST cover and tribute EVER.
It got radio time too.
I think adam lambert's is second
Angela Same 💖💖
@@YesWeAre Nah second is Marc Martel
Поддерживаю
The best cover ever, the best and only George Michael to sing it just PERFECT ❤
Nobody else capable
Yeeeeeaaahhhhh 2023
Goosebumps and tears.
The ONLY Artist who was comparable to Mercury.
One of the best tribute covers ever......
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. George Michael is the ONLY person who can pull off a Queen song properly since Freddie. He has the charisma, the power, and while he isn't Freddie (that man is irreplaceable), he does a damn fine job.
Absolutely! I actually believe their voices are kind of similar
Totally totally agree.
In reality, George Michael sings better since by not distorting his voice he makes it sound more powerful and voluminous, something that Freddy does not because he distorted so much and tightened the strings so much that he could not give up.
He didn't do a whole recital with that hoarse voice, while George Michael could sing all the songs and finish with the same voice.
But George didn't distort his voice, although he could have done it if he knew the technique, he just didn't want to... I mean George Michael could sing with a ragged voice just like Freddy if he wanted to but he wasn't
George Michael at his absolute best. I wish he was still with us ❤
R I P. Both of you. Sing a heavenly duet together.😢
Best cover of a Queen song EVER!
Could not agree more. He nailed it.
Agree
If ever there was a performance deserving of a mic drop, this is it. Farewell, George Michael.
mic, but yeah
rolybling I stand corrected. 😉
He took his art seriously but was too humble to ever do a mic drop. That's something Robbie would do.
this night was personal to him
I think this the best performance ever
No body could do this better than george ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well, Freddie could, but ...
Could George have been the man to take Freddie's place?
Freddie will give thank him in heaven for doing his song more than justice
messagekl
Best Version ever
And, after he twirled, he sung his favorite yea and strutted as if to say, that's how it's done.
messagekl Love you George wish you were still here Elizabeth Gardner
YES!!!! PREACH!!!!
He did that strut I think because he was happy he had done Freddie and Anselmo proud
Who is still getting goosebumps in 2020 everytime you watch George Michael and the whole audience sing this song?
I’m still getting goosebumps in april 2022
Yes its now june 2022 and still goosebumps.....
And, who can listen to this only once.........NOT ME. five times so far today
Still in 2022...🤗
July 2022
Forever George Michael and Queen !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't know how George Michael did this. It must have taken so much inner strength. He lost his friend Freddie Mercury and just found out his first true love had AIDS. He was beyond amazing❤🎤
I think that because of those sad things happening at that time he was able to do this performance like that. Because of all he was feeling at the time, he put it all into the song
The entire fuckin Wembley Stadium surrendered to George like they did with Freddie, amazing, and legendary, RIP George and Freddie.
Overwhelmingly awesome! George Michael rocked this one! RIP both legendary artists. I fear we have no more talent in the music industry that can measure up to the unique and awesome talent of George Michael and Freddie Mercury.
I do not like artist imitators. They try to sing, move, etc like the real artist. But George Michael is not a Freddie Mercury imitator. He took this song and sung it like it was suppose to be sung. Awesome!!
Ciclopea2, couldn't have said it better myself.
Dear God this is spectacular!! Love Freddie and George Michael!! Beautiful!! ❤😍 Goosebumps!!
CathieDanny Bryant Check out Marc Martel and Brendon Urie. They're both really good talents.
NO ONE else could have covered this tune like George.
RIP mate.
Perfect....He didn't try to imitate Freddie....He made it his own...And it worked like always..He sang once again to perfection. RIP. He has so much charisma u can't take ur eyes off him...He has natural talent....RIP u left way too soon
Queen & George Michael.... that was meant to be THE TOUR.
This performance is simply perfect; George was such a talent. RIP Freddy and George.
I would’ve paid to see that
I think so too. What a tour!
more than once!@@jdooris83
I'm completely addicted to this video 😅 George Michael had one of the best voices and charisma the world has ever seen ❤
In quel periodo come voce non era dietro a nessuno.. Ora speriamo che abbia trovato la sua pace interiore stando vicino a sua mamma e alla sua amata sorella..
You have to see the rehearsal video, as good as this or maybe better. Search for “George Michael Queen rehearsal” 👍
There's something so poetic about this performance. It's obvious that George lit up the arena that night, just as Freddie did in that same place, seven years earlier. They couldn't have held this concert anywhere else. And now they're both gone. We had legends among us, for a little while.
This performance elevated George to Demigod status 👏
😊
No mobile phones enjoying the amazing music George Michael
Impeccably ageless and immortal!
Now Freddie can tell George what a good job he did that day! RIP you wonderful singers⭐⭐
Mslicu I remember watching this and crying for Freddie, now I cry for them both. #RIP 💔
Mslicu
You just reached the point:two wonderful persons...
:o(
Anselmo was there. I bet he was thinking I've got to let someone else love this man. So sad. George at his best. Vocals, guitar, backup singers, band. Awesome.
Rest In peace, Freddie,George and Bowie.
Sultan Rayhan Arivano amén
And Prince and Carrie Fisher, who also died in 2016.
Only Elton is still alive.
Best cover ever-George the great RIP
One of his bests. He paid tribute to freddie like nooneslse
He really tried to give his best at that night and he did. Look at this performance, he was the best at this tribute. Sad fact is that nobody was able to give him a tribute that he deserved as a singer, songwriter, musician and human being. I was really sad about David Bowie's and Pince's death but his death had the most impact on me.
Me too! Because as a person he was so relatable.. Loved him to bits and truely missing his music and unique voice
he deserved some happiness for all the entertainment and soul he gave the world. Very similar to Freddie in some ways. The curse of the genius and gay man in the public eye. A travesty really
KIDS! this is how you sound when you can actually sing..... without autotune. god Im going to miss him.
I miss him already ):
RIGHT ON
Useless comment, no child will ever listen to this master piece
Eryda Games if it gives you any hope i'm 16 and love George Michael so so so much, One More Try, Praying For Time, etc you name it i've heard it. All his songs are masterpieces!
The pop singer,-songwriter, once written off as a bubblegum singer, showed he could sing whatever he chose to.
I was there with my two besties. This was such a magical moment. Never forget, forever in my heart.
This was Freddie's favourite Queen song, possibly favourite song ever.. George Micheal did it justice so well
the one and only true man who can sing queen song
Not many could live up to Freddie but George Michael was one of the few.
Totally agree with that!!! Such a voice. RIP George
The crowd NAILS the fall at 3:54, and Brian May is grinning happily after!!! George sang this perfectly, in tribute. It's so sad that he passed so young as well.
I love the spin George does after the crowd , like he just knows he nailed it
The smile of Brian May... Satisfaction for George Michael's performance😍😍😍
One of the best voices of his Generation. He fucking STOLE this tribute concert. Absolutely amazing.
George Michael *owns* this song.
+sunpreet sandhu true, and Freddie paled the piano and really marched around the stage. I look at this for what it was....a truly magnificent tribute to honor the king who wrote and sang it better than no other...and I think George really did Freddie Proud. I just re-watched Freddie sing it in Queen-Rocks Montreal and watched it in awe...Freddie was amazing...power, stage presence and the voice like NO-other...But George...doing this song as you did, put you in a new league (in my humble opinion) after all is said and done, I watch this video over and over and smile. George should be proud!
Something so sad about these beautiful, freakin' talented gay men being taken from us too early. George's death may have had nothing to do with being gay but he was tortured, not at peace with it, never quite found "somebody to love." He was so talented, almost legendary, but always on the edge of self-destructing.
He though his private struggles would be forgotten when he died, so just his musical would be the legacy. So much for that. :(
He was human he never got over losing his beloved Mama but he loved life and his fans his death was a tragic thing but his life was Amazing his legacy will live on forever
Ah, I so agree with all these comments...George was the best talent around since Freddie. George did find his true love, but sadly Anselmo died not long after this concert, so very very sad.
This is one of the greatest vocal performances ever recorded and in my view one of the greatest singers EVER to exist.
Truer words were never spoken!
Only this guy could pull this off in Freddie's memory....what a great guy and pure quality ❤
Between Queen, The Choir, and George Michaels, this is one of the finest performances I've witnessed in a rock setting. The entire performance is on another level completely. Beyond words.
You can tell how much George Michael loves Queen's music by just watching him. What a performer and a gorgeous voice!
Absolutely flawless performance!!! PERFECT GUITAR SOLO!! GEORGE MICHAEL IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS OF ALL TIME!! RIP FREDDY AND GEORGE
Just watched this again after not seeing it for many years. Forget what a powerful voice George Michael had. 100% the right person to sing this tribute to Freddie. Made me tear up remembering they're both gone now.
You have found millions of people who loved your music. Now at 53 you have left us. Thank you George for all you wonderful music and inspiring lyrics.
DavidMillsSeven its really too soon
You were the only one I considered worthy enough to pull off a performance while still honoring Freddie's memory. RIP George.
yes!!!
This and David Bowie & Anne Lennox's Under Pressure cover.
MrNckissfan Adam lambert too
Random Black Chick i'm sorry, fuck Adam Lambert. he simply does not compare to Freddie or George.
totally agree.
George Michael really sang his heart out on that stage that night. Freddie was one of his heroes and had died of AIDS a year earlier and George's own partner was suffering from AIDS at the time, making this concert and this song even more personal for him. Rest In Peace George Michael 😔
Been listening every fucken day and im 65. No one can top Georges voice and charisma even Freddy would approve. This song gives me the strength to carry on after death of husband of 30 years. But ive found love again like George did after Anselmo
RIP see you there in 20 years
Julia - Prayers 🙏🏼from NY 🇺🇲
Right there with you
George Michael, simply wonderfully. Gone too soon. Thank you.
I was surprised by this performance. George really showed that he is a Freddie Mercury fan - not only he nailed the notes, but he also blended with the rest of the band well. Splendid!
Timliu92 One of the best singers of all time. George is underrated but that has changed in recent years.
George was a super fan of Queen and Freddie. He said going to their concert when he was young was one of the highlights of his growing up. He was in awe of the music they created.
There is no such thing as a Freddie fan, because everybody is already a fan of him! You cannot not love Freddie Mercury.
Never really appreciated George Michael before this. He absolutely nailed this, and I became a fan of some of his other stuff because of this. And it turns out he was a really cool guy too. RIP George, you were damn good.
2 great singer/song writers RIP both of you
Old George was alright, he was.
Dude had a voice for sure.
He had one of the most unique and amazing voices, few put so much true emotion in their singing.
I miss you so much, my heart ache every time am reminded you’re gone 😢❤
George Michael - so underrated.
Hell no! George Michael is considered one of the best pop vocalist ever!
Freddie & George are now singing together this song in heaven. RIP George
Freddie would have been delighted by that performance.
No one could have replaced Freddie but if it had to happen, George was IT. I hope they're both having fun up there.
A performance of a lifetime. R.I.P George
I loved the 90's. All this thousands of people really enjoy the show without a dam smartphone in their hands.
+ladymay30 Agree. Fucking Steve Jobs
+ladymay30 Now we are just society of programmed robots without brain and without free will
+ladymay30 calm the fuck down lmao just because you don't know how to operate a smartphone doesn't mean that they're "pure evil" "the devil incarnate"
Ouchiness lol thank god I'm good in new tecnologies :-) but I hate smartphones on concerts. Nobody listen they only record for share in the media.
Yeah, it's kinda like they're just there to record it to watch later on, instead of getting into the actual performance then and there.
George was the natural replacement for Queen's vocals. It's sad that he couldn't perform longer with Queen and that he has already gone. RIP and thanks for this pearl
Nobody could replace Freddie... But George came pretty damn close.
Jesus Christ! What a voice and performance! This song is veeeeeeeery fucking hard to sing and George did it as if he had sang it for years! This is a great voice and artist! Just as Freddie was! Two thumbs up!
Agree 👍
You can find a video on CZcams of George Michael rehearing this, with David Bowie watching on. It’ll show you just how good the man was live. You’re Welcome.
To match Freddie you would basically need to have the best singing voice in the world. George is probably the closest to him.
you should listen to justin smith i think his name is he is amazing with doing this song.
jordan smith is your man
Jane Doe I agree😀
And now he is gone too.
check tom chaplin performance with Queen, he's also very good
George Michael was, quite simply, the best pop/rock singer of his time. His voice is powerful but never rough and he was pitch perfect. His version of this is the best recording there is of this song.
I was never a big fun of George Michael but OMG he was the best on this concert! With all my huge love to the other artists, but HIS voice, his look, oh, I'm chocked! He looks incredible! This is amasing!!!
Same here = Wham "Last Christmas" Then he comes out and does THAT.
He truly was out of this world, voice, genius, looks, heart, everything.
@@dianeatkinson2015, you have to remember that Wham! and the songs George wrote during that era, was when he was a teenager. It appealed to teenagers, but nevertheless were catchy pop tunes with excellent song writing. I’m sorry you did not give him a chance until you saw this performance, because what George accomplished as a solo artist puts him at the very top of the heap. He won numerous songwriting awards throughout his career and was praised by Elton, Stevie, Paul McCartney, Aretha Franklin, the works. He has absolutely amazing music in his catalogue. A unique thing about George, is he could write pop, soul/R&B, jazz, and his voice suited all of those genres. Just start looking into all of the duets he did because they are utterly phenomenal.
Brian May's face at 4:04 is priceless, it may not be the biggest smile but I bet he must have been thinking "Freddie would approve"
This gave me the chills!So fucking goooooooooooood!
+1
that make me cry :')
He did give it everything he had
Yeah, that is what Freddie used to do with the crowd. It was a bigger tribute to him than the song.
Brian May was so damn happy with the performance
Chiara C Right?!?!? He looked blown away. But seriously all those hands clapping in unison, and the whole stadium singing "love", super powerful moment.
Right? His smile said it all.
Man, that was a really quality read of this. I never really looked at it like that but 100% agree.
A. M. - Definitely. Queen was whole again for that moment.
George just killed it. What a voice. Sure miss George and Freddie.
George was a big fan of Queen !!
The only performer ever big enough to fill Freddie's boots.
George Michael's performance is a real salute to one of the greatest. George Michael had also a fantastic presence on stage like Freddie Mercury. We will miss this kind of artists sadly
Bravo George. When the "sea of clapping hands" were in the air tears rolled down my face. RIP sweet angel
Same. It just blows me away every time I see it.
Completely mesmerized,I keep watching it over and over again,nobody can can top that performance!!!
This is still absolutely awesome after 30 years. A man of incredible talent covering a man of incredible talent. Both of them so loved and missed - both amazing and grateful they graced our lives
RIP George.
훈토이TV 프레디랑 같이 노래 부르고 있으면 좋겠네요 ㅎ
Toy Park 그러게요ㅠㅠ
Uhm......what about Freddie too?
me to....
Rip Freddie and George
.
He killed it, that was awesome!
He was the BEST that night and the only one at a level close of Mercury.
Mr Michael was a deity, a musical prodigy, a word smith, a maestro, an idol maker, to come out with a biker chic image... genius. How ever corny is sounds, my life is better and I was able to pick myself up from life's tragedies and keep on rockin by turning up George's amazing songs and topics i.e. Jesus to a Child, Spinning the Wheel, Freek, Freedom 90, I'm your Man!!! They cheered me up and got me back in the game. I just wish George would've been able to as well. Thank You! Sir George Michael 🙏🙂👍🕺
My god he was fucking glorious! Was blown away during the live show, still blown away now.
Now...that´s singing for real, children.
Better than any rapper or hip hop artist could ever do
Well we are not childrens anymore right now we are grown up children
JB is shook.
@@itsmephil2255 idk about that, we got tons of amazing singers out the right now. if you arent seeing them you arent looking hard enough or barely. george was amazing tho and irreplacable
I loved Queen and Freddie Mercury but I think George NAILED this song. Miss him too
Love this. George Michael would have marked his 60th birthday in 2023. A great shame he's not around. His music and work lives on.
George could sing anything! Such a great talent and an amazing man. George and Freddie are missed terribly. We lost 2 amazing artists!!
One of the best live performances ever!
+Ane Dijitak I'd put it behind they're concert there in 86, and first is most definately they're take over at Live Aid.
👍👍👍👍
+Ane Dijitak I totally Agree
George had his own band, entertainers, orchestra and choir. He was a true master of music. He will go down as one of the legends of musical history.
❤❤❤❤❤George Michael ❤❤❤❤❤ So loved never forgotten❤❤❤stil watching/listening to all his songs/interviews every day. Who else is watching/listening in 2022...?
George Michael gave me goosebumps surely finesse this song to the highest.
Love the look Brian may gives George when he nailed the Freddie harmonics at the end ,priceless ,RIP FREDDIE AND GEORGE ❤️
The 50,60,70,80,90 …jammed with Super musicians. And What a brilliant cover
George Michael gave his all to music , so sad we lost a superstar .
RIP George we miss you making music. Listen to you everyday though.
