Absolutely the same for me ... the documentary led me on the same trajectory. He's so articulate , so intelligent and honest, and how he speaks of the American psyche is spot on. And unfortunately what he said 19 years ago still holds true today. I'm not American and what he said is exactly how I feel about the States.... They're not progressing , they're turning back the clock now. I was sobbing watching his videos ......I definitely miss him for sure.
@rosamiller8687 5 місяців тому
I adore George. From the moment I saw his first performance with Wham! I was hooked. I have followed this mega talented artist for his entire career. I have all of his albums and all of the singles that he released. I feel so fortunate that I saw him in concert a few times before he passed. His beautiful angelic voice was something to really experience. His personality and charisma on stage was like no others. Every interview I've seen, he's carried himself with honesty, awareness and has always been respectful and humble. I don't think we'll ever see such a talented musician again, at least not in my lifetime. Someone who could write an entire songs and keep them locked in his memory until he walked into a studio to revord is something I haven't heard of before. He could compose arrange and produce all of his own music 👏 !!! The cherry on top was that he was spectacularly good-looking. It was a treat to just look at him.❤

This interview is 18 yrs old. The US is still handling the same issues pretty much the same way. I absolutely adore this man. His life is very similar to mine. His songs speak to me like no other artist. His fans could care less what his sexuality was. That was just the press hounding him to be the first to make the big story. They didn't care about him, period. He is loved as much today as he was from the days of WHAM! Probably even more (if possible) as we learn more and more about him since his passing. I miss him so very much. I listen to his music every day. His music makes me feel a sense of peace, and love, want to dance slow and fast, LOL to Outside, and COL to Mother's Pride, Pray for Time, and his rendition of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, to name a few. I seriously cannot find a song I don't love. George needed peace. His soul hurt here on earth. I know this feeling. Always Loved, Forever Missed, Never Forgotten Continue to Rest In Peace GM 💖
@sinkingisland7769 9 місяців тому
"COULD care less"... Arrgh! If this interview is 18 years old, you must be half that in age. Students in the U.S. are SO illiterate. Pay for your college degree if mummy and daddy are rich and powerful enough to do it for you and pay all accompanying fees, you pass college and move onto success, deserved or not. People in the U.S. don't know basic English. That's why we have complete idiots running this country, just wealthy offspring off wealth. You pay, you play. No wealth from the family, you're screwed, regardless of how brilliant you may be. The U.S. is sick. I wish Phil Collins would move me to His home in Switzerland to work for him (caretaker, housekeeper, etc.) so I can take care of my autistic son and myself.

When George was talking about bereavement, I can totally relate. My Dad died as a result of a head-on collision in November 2021. I was named the executor of his estate. I have been very busy taking care of all of his financial affairs. So busy that I have had virtually no time to even grieve for him. It is starting to catch up with me, too. I could be at work and, out of the blue, I will just want to sob. Although it may not be pleasant, it is important to allow yourself to FEEL the pain. It is the only way you will be able to heal and move on with your life. Rest in peace, George.

19 years on his words remind us that so little has changed in the world and how always ahead of his time he was in his thinking. His lyrics and words have stood the test of time and ring true, RIP George - Thank you for your honesty.

George Micheal was not a F-L-O-P, You sold over 100 (126 to exact) million records making him one of the best selling artists in the world, Grammys on this plate including Album of the year. He's Gay Trailblazing Legend...

George is a beautiful soul. I say IS because I believe he exists, not on this side of the veil but the other side. He was spot on how he viewed politics and the way the World is changing. In fact, some of his later songs are sooo prophetic, i.e. Praying For Time, Freedom etc. I imagine he's very happy where he is now, with his mum, sister and the love of his life. God Bless you George. You ARE LOVED ❤

THIS IS A WONDERFUL GEORGE MICHAEL INTERVIEW ! John Norris is a GREAT INTERVIEWER here. I am not familiar with his collection of other interviews...but I am VERY familiar with George's many interviews during his lifetime. Norris is so respectful and non judgemental of George here and asks smart and deep questions and does NOT interrupt him sharing the beauty and wisdom of who he is/was as a human being. So MANY other interviewers are so judgemental/ "gotcha" ...that you can hear in George's voice inflection how annoyed or bored he is with their lack of professionalism & lack of humanity. John Norris~ Thank You for allowing the ABSOLUTE BEAUTY of George's heart, mind & spirit to show thru this interview. It is a gem. He was SUCH a generous, compassionate, talented & loving kind soul. Miss Yog - Loved him so much ! 💞

I personally do not fully understand homosexuality as I am myself straight. Maybe that is the reason I am no able to fully grasp the whole idea of being attracted to someone who is the same sex as me. Nevertheless I have a lot of respect and admiration for the fact that they found courage to stand up for themselves, to be open about it explaining to people who does not understand. It must be have been very difficult to face all of this especially being a public person. George was so intelligent, charismatic, kind, talented...just like Ricky Martin.They both are great role models for gay community. I believe every human has right to live as they want as long as there is no harm to others.

An absolute gem of a man and one of the great British singers and songwriters of all time, I feel in many ways underrated, because of the way the media targeted him..its absolutely disgusting when I think back to it, but I believe he was too smart and self aware to let all that bother him truly. George is one of the greats..and you left us with so much amazing music and your wonderful honesty and insights into this mad world..just listen to "praying for time" one of his masterpieces..and as relevant today as it was back in 1990, if not even more so...❤️🕊️

He's born in England, raised by an English mother, schooled in English schools, his mentality is 100% English. He said himself more than once, he is British and loves his country.

Kurt Loder (SP) did a fine interview with George Michael. How sad it was for George Michael's mother to give birth to her son and to loose her brother to suicide at the same time! I never heard about this. And George was just like like his uncle. Very hurt by what people said and thought about him, so handsome like him and probably talented like him. For George's mom to have this happen was devastating. A funeral and taking care of what is supposed to be the happiest day of her of her life. I can't imagine. 💔😥
