FIRST TIME HEARING George Michael - Father Figure REACTION

[@CurlieGrl]

It's not about pedophilia guys. When a woman finds a man that can be ALL she needs because she did not have a true Father figure in her life, this man takes that place in her life. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of people searching for that unconditional love they never had. It's not meant to be "weird", it's meant to be reassuring for her that she can be ALL she can be because he will be everything she needs - emotionally. 💗

[@sadfaery]

It's still creepy. It makes me think of my niece, who was s*xually abused by her stepfather from the ages of 12-14 and then ended up getting pregnant at 17 by a guy 4 years older than her who she described as being like a father figure to her. Although I found the lyrics to this creepy long before that.

[@sandie13]

I agree. I have never thought the song was weird.

[@jillmayer9501]

[@loristone9242]

Right on. My friends and I were in our very late teens and none of us thought it was weird.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

This is one of his best solo songs ever the over dubbing of his vocals and backing vocals are amazing. RIP George Michael.

[@sheilameyers152]

He wanted to be her father figure or someone to take care of her! He sang about love can be mistaken as a crime! But he would love her to the end of time! The words have a great deal to say! My favorite!💕

[@carlaharrington5120]

"If you are a desert, I'll be the sea. If you ever hunger, hunger for me. Whatever you ask for, that's what I'll be."! One of my fave lines from ANY song! 💜

George Michael sang Somebody to Love with Queen during a tribute to Freddie Mercury after he died. He did an amazing job. It’s definitely worth a listen.

[@FLmickey90]

George's version is AMAZING! He made the song his own and always get the chills when I watch the video!! Freddie was looking down and smiling when he was doing it!

[@peterworth9403]

There were a LOT of good performances from that show. This was one of the best. Right up there next to David Bowie and Annie Lennox.

[@andyrunton]

It’s so so good. It was released as part of short LP and as a single, where it even got Queen on the charts in the US. It got tons of airplay during the age of Nirvana. It gave me goosebumps every single time I heard it. ❤️

[@dannysalamon5731]

Agreed but they need to watch Live Aid first

[@rvzomeren01]

In his documentary Freedom he tells that at that Live-Aid performance he recently found out that his lover also had HIV. So George Michael had to sing about having someone to love, on a tribute to someone who died of HIV-Aids, while having just found out his lover is probably going to die soon.......

[@adamsgrad93]

I remember buying this album and listening to it front to back. Not a single bad song. George Michael was an international treasure. He is greatly missed.

One More Try and his duet with Elton John (Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me) are both amazing examples of his heavenly vocals.

"Don't let the sun go down on me" would be a great song for Jay & Amber to review for sure

[@moleman1976]

Both great! One More Try is hauntingly beautiful, and the live version of Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me is incredibly powerful!

[@Samurai_Stoner]

Was going to suggest "don't let the sun" live version

[@JimmyBrock]

One More Try is my fav GM song

[@sandyjameswilliams40]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FashnMista]

One of the calling cards of a great songwriter, a talent George Michael possessed in spades, is having the ability to pen lyrics that are nuanced. The song “Father Figure” is a declaration of unconditional love and a promise that I’ll be all you need if you’ll just open your heart to me. The title and lyric ‘father figure’ isn’t meant to be taken literally, it’s a metaphor. “Father Figure” is an absolute classic!

[@l.brandehilton7107]

Indeed !!! UHHKAAY !!!

[@vbellagrl]

Understandable that Jay and Amber were a bit confused by the lyrics but it's too bad. This song and its video are absolutely iconic. Pure artistry.

[@rosamiller8687]

I really feel that the current generation is not exposed to enough poetry in lyrics. Musicians of the past seemed to possess different writing chops. it just was a different era for song writing. Most of those lyrics are not to be taken literally. There is a meaning behind all of it. George wrote about an all consuming love . Nothing in appropriate. The li ne, "put your tiny hand in mine" is just a woman's delicate smaller hand in a man's. George was a exceptional songwriter. He won several song writing awards and was honored by being the most played artist for 20 years straight on British radio.There's a reason this man has sold over a hundred and twenty million records.

[@matthewwootten]

Thank you for saying that

[@emilycerbone7648]

So many other brilliant songs but Kissing a Fool and Outside are two of my faves GM songs. George is still in my Top 3 of favorite concerts of all time. RIP, George. ❤️

[@Shrykespeare]

Hard to believe you've only done George four times, his is a catalogue you need to dive deeper into! I highly recommend "Monkey", "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" (with Aretha Franklin!!), "One More Try", "A Different Corner", "Praying For Time", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" (with Elton John!!), "Jesus to a Child", and "Fastlove". Another great artist we lost too early.

[@andyrunton]

I think you all would love love love “I knew you were waiting.” It was on Aretha’s big comeback album and George was such a huge fan of hers that he couldn’t believe she wanted to sing with him. Their energy is so so great in the video, too!!!

Amber for Female Friday check out Aretha Franklin’s duet with George Michael “I Knew You Were Waiting”. For J looking for an uptempo track, George’s massive hits “Freedom 90”, “Fastlove” or his first big hit as a solo artist “Faith”. He covered Elton John’s track “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me” and Elton was in the live concert video version of the song duetting with George while playing piano. My goodness, you guys are at the beginning of diving into George’s catalog! His collab with Queen on “Somebody to Love” is amazing and “Monkey” is pure 80s dance/pop at its best. I was fortunate to see him in concert twice at Madison Square Garden and the shows were a blend of pop, R&B, soul and dance. Such energy and talent! The crowds were wild for him and after dancing my tush off all night, I was thoroughly spent by the end of those shows!!😅❤😊

When he says, "the eyes of a child", he means, without the cynicism of an adult who is expecting to be lied to and hurt. Also, "sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime", you'd have to remember that at this point, he wasn't out as gay, which is still a crime in some places, sadly.

George is one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time, and off course, there will be some songs that don't quite hit the spot, this is true of all the great artists....but his overwhelming material will more than hit the spot! Try "Fast love" for the dance vibe, or "Cowboys and Angels" for the smooth jazzy sound. Seriously, the versatility of George will leave you wanting more....my personal favourites are "different Corner" and "Spinning the Wheel".

You don’t do enough George Michael. His last album - Patience - was priceless. Listen to Precious Box - probably my favourite song of his. It’s a long track but is an extremely poignant and haunting story of isolation, loneliness and shallow and rampant excess. This is one of George’s most up tempo and danceable tracks but that belies the song’s darkness and melancholy. It’s very frothy but deep. It’s very 2000s, with its house and electronic vibe. John and Elvis are Dead is a wonderful tribute track, along with Amazing.

This song can be directed at anyone who can be of need of a father figure. This song doesn't necessarily have to be about a romantic relationship as it was portrayed in the music video.

He's an amazing talent, but he did write I Want Your Sex, Freeek, and other highly sexual songs both as part of Wham! and as a solo artist.

Here's a thought to consider: I get how you're looking at this at pure face value and not metaphorically and getting it weird. However how about we consider how our culture had been for several generations in which we often implied, (and even stated directly and aloud), that we do, or maybe should want, to find someone like our parents. How about the old songs that stated they were looking for a man/woman like dear old dad/mom? Sociologically we do see that many times that exactly the kind of person many folks unintentionally seek out. No, I'm not forgetting about the large number who rebel and consciously chase the polar opposite.

Hi guys! I ❤️❤️❤️this song! I think the visual in the video with the lyrics may conflict a bit. I think making the video revolve around a romantic relationship and making him a little darker... even stalkerish is a bold decision.Remember.. this was right after WHAM! broke up .. George's sexuality was already under such scrutiny . Remember in the 80s if there was the slightest implication that an artist was gay or too effeminate .. careers would be over. George decided to take a more dramatic style. And a more masculine harder edged look And did everything go emphasize he was straight coincidentally released two biggest hits from the album " I want your sex" and "Father Figure" , both show him being extremely seductive with women.

Yeah, the video is definitely about a stalker.

One his his best and most atmospheric songs, along with ‘Jesus to a child’. The lyrics have depth and can be misinterpreted. The Gospel influenced chorus is genius. There was always much more to George than the simple singalong pop compositions of Wham. R.I.P ❤❤

Hearing this makes me miss the 80s even more! Long live the 80s and the people like me who lived it.

[@robynhurley5119]

I lived it all too

The 80s are well and truly alive with today's new bands. Check out the wonderful Silvertwin and Young Gun Silver Fox for a start

Gone far too soon. He had such an amazing voice.

This song😢😂 I had moved across country to be with my bf then he went off the rails, so here I was in a strange state & knew no one... he comes to the diner I worked at to win me back, flowers & a card and said HE wrote this for me... even changed blue eyes to green🤣 I was so emotional & bowled over by the LYRICS, I took him back hahaa When this song hit the airwaves, I gave him grief relentlessly, but hey, it was sweet at the time!😉❤✌ Edit: I see a lot of people got the creeps from this song's lyrics lol I never took it that way, but then again, he did NOT include "I'll be your daddy" in the written note🤭✌
