George Michael - Everything She Wants (MTV Unplugged 1996)-REACTION VIDEO

[@indiechana9771]

George was and is the most underrated singers of all time. Always pitch perfect, versatile and damn brilliant! He wrote his own songs, production and final say on what got released. He was an absolute genius and diamond of the industry.

[@karenp4667]

I love your reaction. I noticed so many more people are starting to listen to George Michael. This is from his WHAM days. George wrote it in about 84. I'm 71 and listen to him everyday. I was Motown and doo-wop. My son introduced me to Marley and Tupac. My daughter introduced me to WHAM, she played their songs 24/7, drove me nuts. But then I started listening to George sing and really liked him. His tracks were so down to earth, his voice and the charisma he had. To this day, there are many great singers out there, but they are always looking for that great song, that great producer, that great sound, that great instrumentation. Not George Michael, he did it all, wrote, sang, produced, did most of the instruments on his tracks and did it HIS way. His duets are tremendous too, Stevie, Aretha, Beyonce, Whitney, Queen, Elton, Smokey, Garth, Pavarotti, Tony Bennett, etc. etc. etc. I think my two fav duets will always be "As" with Mary J. Blige and "Blame it on the sun" with Ray Charles. You are right, his background singers and band were great. Some of them stayed with him since the WHAM days. I'll never see another George Michael in my lifetime. Hope everyone keeps his memory alive because as far as I'm concerned he was and still is one of the greats.

[@bk4062]

Hi Karen, How are you doing? I'm sure you heard this, but If not how about HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING W/ Tony Bennet, Did you know they recorded this in one session? You just can't miss with our George! He most definitely has our hearts, ya!

[@bk4062]

I messed up. George and Tony Bennet did this song in ONE TAKE! I guess we shouldn't be surprised! Ya!

[@handsome-brute2666]

His best period was early to mid 90s..when he was suing his record company..he could HAVE made legendary albums

[@alesiaking5578]

George Michael made the most beautiful soft jazz music which most are unaware, but it will rip out your heart. RIP George

[@ginacontreras6164]

@@alesiaking5578 “Move On” is one of my top five GM favourites - he was so genius because I didn’t even like jazz until HE wrote and played it!💜

[@carolinegilles9181]

It was the last time his mom saw his son performed, she died shortly after from cancer. And it’s the only time George said HI to his mom in public... He was so shy, private and adorable....!!!! What a HUGE lost... In EUROPE George is a GOD.... soooooooooooooooooo missed...!!! 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔💔💔💔

[@calibre8718]

George used to live near me on kingsbury middlesex back in the 80's btw. LEGEND.

[@BALD_PAB]

He was a singer-songwriter producer.....everything. He was an amazing talent

[@rowanmayfair9249]

I call his voice pure gold. Liquid gold. I think he's very underrated for his writing. He wrote some of the most mind numbing songs. His heart, he gave it to the music. There is such a vast library. Not as big as others because of his early death and the demons he lost quite a few years to. I love White Light. Sadly prophetic yet shows he was coming back from the brink only to have his ravaged body give out. I still mourn this man.

[@Monica-fm6dt]

What is "White Light"?

[@Monica-fm6dt]

That makes two of us ...

[@rowanmayfair9249]

@Monica One of his later songs released 4 years before his death.

[@mariellahadley80]

George ❤️

[@donaldpittman4303]

George Michael is a international super star. He was a phenomenal talent and great voice. The man could sing

[@annaswann5311]

Before this show aired in 96 he had a rehearsal in the Maidavale studios in London. On BBC Radio there was a competition to win tickets to this rehearsal. There were only 25 winners x2 tickets each... I was a very lucky winner and I can tell you George was so nervous as he'd had a bit of a break, but his performance was absolutely stunning. We were sat just feet away from him and I will never forget his amazing performance. He sang everything then that was in the final show. He is sorely missed. I love your appreciation of such a fine artiste.

[@leehargreaves7473]

Perfection. Pop doesn't get any better than that.

[@willswomble7274]

When all is said and done, a beautiful soul. RIP George.

[@macgmac7909]

'' Spinning that wheel '' is a groovy smooth jam - 'quiet storm ''

[@dawntownsendable]

Watch all of this MTV unplugged with him. Absolute legend

[@oldbrit2706]

He had awesome backup singers. RIP Yog

[@GrumpyMark]

The most versatile voice and best voice.

[@RONNYMORRISMUSIC]

Simply the best unplugged ever. This band was over the top. Simply soooooo amazing!!!!

[@natasamladenovic1765]

His team is magnificent. His arangements are perfect. His performance is soulful. He is a perfectionist. He settles for the best only. And his music is eternal.

[@marianoprato7971]

I was a little kid and suddenly a cassette (yes! A tape cassette!) appeared inside a drawer in my bedroom. May be my older brother left it there. He doesn’t remember either. I started listening to it and instantly felt in love with that incredible voice. Until today every time I listen to one more try I get goosebumps. Amazing artist. You should listen to that song and feel the goosebumps too (but it belongs to the 80s)

[@rosemiller2990]

I’m so happy that you appreciate the phenomenal talent That is George was. Yes he was worldwide known, and yes his face his image was on MTV in the 80s and 90s on constant rotation. But you are right, that although people know of him in the states most of them don’t know the records he broke with his music and the fact that he wrote and produced all of his songs and played most of the instruments on his songs. I went to a few of his concerts and was absolutely mesmerized. I love this artist. This performance is from the MTV-unplugged. The entire unplugged is amazing. From this same special please check out the other songs. This is a fun one but it doesn’t showcase his voice like some of the others he did on this special.

[@סוניהלוי-צ1כ]

G.m. is the most musical and best singer for ever🤍😇😇😇😇🤍🤍🤍

[@bk4062]

Hi Pat, It's so good to see you again. George gets to you. My dear, you have 30+ years to continue to experience this man. George never, never disappoints. After his passing, Stevie Wonder summed him up just right. He said George Michael was a Gift to the world! Isn't t that the truth? There's so much to tell you about George, It's ridiculous. As you said, George is remarkable. You have learned about him sooner. And yes, keep learning all you can of who George was, & actually still is. Not just through his music but through interviews, recording sessions, concerts, anything you can. You won't believe what you learn! He was & is an angel. Very human, made some mistakes along the way & admitted It & learned from It. He also gladly paid the consequences. He was so selfless, honest, professional, humble & kind. Just to tell you a few, & It doesn't stop there. There are many reasons George was so loved. Anyhow you asked for requests. Here goes-STAR PEOPLE, SPINNING THE WHEEL, OUTSIDE, MY BABY JUST CARES FOR ME, this was his Symphonica tour in Paris at the Garner' Opera house, Dripping in Gold. Well, that's just a few. I don't know If you know this, but George wrote, sang, arranged, & directed all his own music. His style was Pop, R&B, Jazz, & even some Swing. Like I said, He does It all, Literally! Till next time Pat, Take care, stay safe, & we'll see you on the flip side, Remember George, & Keep the Music Playing!

[@veronikahk1826]

This version is LIFE. I adore this. Thanks🤘

[@tuckerplum8085]

George wasn't just an amazing performer... which he was... He wrote this song when he was, like, nineteen years old. He wrote "Careless Whisper" when he was even younger. He wrote "Father Figure" and "Kissing A Fool" and "Faith" and so many incredible, classic songs. Such an amazing talent.

[@markwalker4142]

He’s artistically the top of his game at this stage in his career . Talent in abundance snd you just rarely see this now . Sadly gone and his musical legacy lives on . Genius artist .

[@teensymom1420]

You need see the original music video from his days with WHAM of this song. Total different sound and just shows how amazing George is as an arranger to turn it into something completely but still sounds so great. Anything he does live is amazing. His performance on the Parkinson show of A Different Corner is absolutely amazing. Just found an old video of him at a Nelson Mandala's birthday concert in 1998 singing Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing. He is so young in this one but the vocals are on point for sure. Again the arrangement of the song is perfection.

[@theomega4564]

One of only a handful of artists to sell millions of records NOT in the Hall of Fame. So sad. What a talent

[@mlpstarlight1864]

He is in the Hall Of Fame.

Love me some George!! This MTV concert was awesome❤️ His Mom was in the audience and I believe this was the last time she saw him perform. I’m missing this Gorgeous man🥰 Thanks for the reaction👍🏻

[@bk4062]

Yes, she was, the sad thing is Georges's mum Lesley died about 3 months later after this program of skin cancer! So very sad, George dearly loved his mum so much so dearly.

[@tzarlyn3583]

This MTV Unplugged is a time to just watch and listen. I was pissed off when my phone rang. I was like ah..... No disturbing pleaseeeee. 🤭

[@bk4062]

Hi Tzar, I know the feeling, only my usual time to be pissed of is when a commercial comes on or I can't type it in fast enough when I want to show It to someone! You know there are so many you can't get through them fast enough! What can I say, George, rocks my world!

[@timothymiller803]

Beautiful reaction! You are a pleasure to watch. Thank you

[@johnriccardi8613]

I totally agree with everything you said in this reaction. He was very underated. This song was done when he was with wham

[@gohumberto]

Pop...perfection. There are always 2 layers to his songs. On one level it's just great pop. Dig deeper and you'll hear his life story.

[@janeyorke4197]

[@robertacolarette1594]

This is one of his big hits he wrote in WHAM. It’s complete perfection here. This entire MTV show was the ultimate.

[@1964mtm]

I love the fact that you don't stop and restart the video in different points. I'm a big fan of this man, in fact I have a group, his Lovelies. Because you don't interrupt you are the only 1 I will watch. This man can do everything? It's just unfortunate through illness that I never got the chance to see him live. If you do it this way all the time, I'll watch all the time, George is the best there is, they don't have singers like him anymore👏👏

[@polyprinz]

I have watch this a thousand times...I even have it on DVD. This MTV Unplugged...is a masterpiece!

[@pppexplorer]

I would pay an untold amount of money to have been in that super-lucky audience. What a gift of a performance! 😍

[@gzhdiamond2616]

George said he knew during rehearsals that that night was going to be magical!! 🔥🔥🔥 It was also the first and last time during a performance he said "Hi mom" to his mother who was out in the audience because she ended up dying from cancer...💔

[@aleccopile]

6:47 I like how you're vibing to the song. You could have been one of the backup singers 😀. You have a very nice speaking voice, dude 👍.

[@jamesrapp9778]

Cheers for the video mate 😎 👌

[@sharonbythesea9338]

You are honoring such an amazing artist. We appreciate your reaction and spot-on commentary. I followed you through a George Michael search and subscribed, I wish your channel massive success. You sir, are talented as well! His beloved mother Leslie was also in the audience here and George remarked that it was the only time he ever waved and said "Hi Mom!" with a very boyish smile, (after "You Have Been Loved", I believe). It was her last attendance with him as she died shortly afterwards in 1997.

[@lauren92355]

I was born in 1980 so I remember Wham! and then George Michael as a solo artist he was amazing! I remember this MTV unplugged I was 16 and grounded when I watched it and it’s still up there as one of the best MTV unplugged episodes I’ve ever seen along with Nirvana, L.L.Cool J and of course Uptown Records Unplugged when Jodeci performed their legendary rendition of Stevie Wonder’s Lately and K-Ci and Mary J Blige’s I don’t want to do nothing else!

[@Julieroo28]

Loved your reaction to this!! I love this version so much!! I prefer this to the original recorded version. I think it came out originally in 1984 or 1985. There are several different recorded versions, but this Unplugged version blows me away. I could be wrong, but I think the Unplugged was in 1996 or 1997.

[@anthonypallen7919]

He was a great RnB singer . Great vocal prowess , amazing feel

[@yorkiephil1]

Really good reaction. Positive, informative and intuitive. Excellent work!

[@stardust2826]

I got goosebumps the first time I listened to this version. And I remembered I heard it by accident since I was watching some music videos on the Tv and then I got distracted and this song suddenly started playing. I thought "I didn't know this version", but I listened to it until the end and now is one of my favorites

[@Hiltie1]

George Michael was a genius and my favorite artist ever. This song is one of my favorites. RIP George. THANKYOU FOR SHARING. Listen to " A Last Request by George Michael and Blue from George Michael both versions as there are two and " Do You Really Want to Know ? by George Michael and Hard Day. These are incredible songs. Young Guns is amazing and Nothing Looks The Same in The Light or A Ray of Sunshine .

[@dimitrasotirakoglou2553]

The whole concert is epic. Miss him so much, some days i forget that he is no longer here with us.. Thank you for your reaction

[@rosamiller8687]

Pat, you need to check out his live performance of Freedom 90. Performed at the 10th anniversary MTV celebration. That performance is done in the round , entirely directed by the man himself. It is epic. His backup singers never sounded better. Topped off by that pure silky George voice. Just wow. It's one that most reactors know nothing about about and it would be great if you discovered this live performance.

[@sassynanny4810]

Hey Pat, new subbie here. This Man is a LEGEND. This is one of my favorites from him, please watch the official video of this song. You can really hear the passion in his voice. I'm LOVING your channel. 💯❤❤❤

[@melissakennedy1506]

Great reaction. This song was a Wham! Track from their goodbye album. George Michael is amazing. I think it adds to the enjoyment of his music if you understand where things go chronologically because he was a constantly evolving artist. So, after Wham! Was a huge pop sensation, he released A Different Corner on a 45 single. Then came the Faith album, which was revolutionary and put him into pop stratosphere. After Faith, he just didn’t want to do it anymore, and said he wasn’t going to. After a couple years, he released Listen Withou Predjudice which was huge risk. Freedom was his renegotiated terms to his fans. It was absolutely shocking at the time because he had the dream pop career so saying he was not a heartthrob pop star and was only going to make music that moved him and only do what made him happy was kinda like throwing his career away. Critics were shook because they said it was a big mistake, but we all just loved him more. Then, he got arrested and threatened with blackmail over cruising guys at rest area. Shocking at the time, but he just went on interview shows and said hey, I’m gay and I sometimes like casual hookup in public restrooms. After that, he came out with Fast Love. Sorry for the essay. Could you react to my favorite song of his : Jesus to a Child or Praying For Time

[@jennkim74902]

Can you check something from earlier in George's career, when he was with Wham...a song called "Blue" the performance from their tour in China... it is such a catchy poppy but R & B feeling song and I personally love it.

[@karenp4667]

Loved Blue and also "like a baby". Loved when George covered the Isaly Brothers. Ron Isaly was quoted as saying he loved when George covered their songs.

This song was written by George Michael himself. For this live version he re-arranged parts of it. This guy was a truly gifted music composer. When of the best Pop Music composer of all time.

Wow so glad I found your channel. You're awesome!!! Love George RIP🙏Icon.

[@bk4062]

Hi Pat, I know I commented before but, I have to suggest you now listen to the official recording of this song. George sings this exactly the same. He was always like this even in concert like he is here. He never really promoted any of his new songs for the 1st. time to his audiences. That's one of the problems he had with Sony & ended up in court because of It. (George took them to court for It and other things) He wanted to give them what they wanted to hear! George's words, not mine. He just didn't want to promote his new music. He knew he didn't half to.

hi Pat, so thrilled that you picked out a piece from his brilliant MTV Unplugged Performance. For me the highlight of this evening was his "you have been loved" - by the way, it was one of Princess Diana's favourite songs.

[@סוניהלוי-צ1כ]

[@benger88]

Although this song was on Wham's album, George solely wrote, produced and created the instrumentals on a Rolund Juno-60 synthesizer. I prefer this live version, especially with Deon Estus (?) on acoustic bass. The whole unplugged session is just amazing. Such a talented vocalist. This song and "Jesus to a Child" are probably my favorites. Like Prince, he passed away in 2016, much too soon.

[@mandyhargraves8589]

You are so right the paparazzi never left him alone they persecuted him about him being gay and a few car c crashes I didn't care what he was I adore him
