George had the best voice ever for me, the clarity, the smoothness in his voice no one could match….so missed RIP ❤️

[@rosemiller2990]

1000% agree! Seeing him live was one of the best experiencing ever. I love ❤️ this man.

[@marisagettas]

George in concert was better than George in the studio. His voice was fantabulous. RIP George 🙏🏼💔

[@ritchiec6317]

BLASPHEMY Lol. He was great at both.

[@marisagettas]

@@ritchiec6317 Didn’t say he wasn’t great at both. He’s my fave artist of all time. And he truly was better in concert. Just like Prince was, or Aretha was.

Man…we had people over for Christmas when we got the word of George Michael’s passing back in 2016. We were devastated. Immediately came to KZbin and started playing every video of his we could find. WHAM!, solos, collaborations. He was such a rare talent. George Michael is greatly missed. Btw, that entire concert is FIRE!!!

[@ritchiec6317]

I WAS ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATED WITH HIS PASSING. MY FAVORITE ARTIST EVER!!

[@Monica-ck7zf]

[@xmoomoo9158]

George has been my crush for years🥰 Can’t believe this Gorgeous man is not with us anymore. So thankful we have his amazing music still !!!! This version to me is better than the original! RIP George❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sallyhu5028]

For me, there's GM. And then there's everybody else. He acts with his voice ... Meryl Streep-level He conveys all the emotions a human being can feel with his voice. The clarity, the tone, the diction. You never, ever need to look at the lyrics to know what he's singing. Perfection.

[@aliyahburnette8018]

My mom is a die hard George Michael fan she has been a fan of him since the 80’s. My god rest his soul.

[@rayraygor]

you choice, my choice~ George Michael ~ the voice of heaven

[@michaelgilman4068]

He understood the internal mechanics of the songs he covered and registered their movements on a subatomic level. In 1996, at his MTV Unplugged concert, he sang Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” He sat on a stool surrounded by concentric circles of musicians-string players, guitarists, percussionists-and he responded sensitively to their dynamics, but still seemed strangely isolated and alone. “I Can’t Make You Love Me,” like his other covers, suggested not only a deep comprehension of the notes and design of the song but of the ache pulsing behind it. It’s not a “faithful” cover exactly, even as the song doesn’t seem to radically swerve from its native arrangement, but it doesn’t sound like a reanimation of the original text either. “If you don’t, if you don’t love me,” he sings toward the end, his eyes closed, his head swaying as if he were mentally swimming through new angles of feeling in the song. Even though his voice is smoother and more elastic than Raitt’s, the upper intervals of his voice convey a frailty, a kind of internal shattering, without the substance of his voice ever breaking apart itself. It’s a depthless emotion pressing against an unbreakable surface. A flower blooming in a terrarium. A muffled sob. A flawlessly organized cry.

[@rosemiller2990]

Wow!

[@natasamladenovic1765]

Yes, wow

[@carballidofamily]

This version gets me every time. He just gives me goosebumps

[@eorozco2720]

George Michael was the best singer there ever was and still to this day he is very smooth and very beautiful and always the best. I will always believe that he is fantastic and great beyond any words that can be said. I will always admire and I would love him till the end of my life he is a fantastic artist, and was always great no matter what song he saying. His live performances were amazing. He has such a beautiful soul and heart. I really can’t say enough.

[@lanamartin9107]

My very favorite version of this song. George Michael is the greatest male singer/songwriter imo.

[@haleniacrews5586]

Its definitely one of my favorites

[@atolm1]

That man had so much talent and that voice, sorely missed. His Christmas song "December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas)" is a stunning and sad beauty that has been missed out on by the masses.

[@Alex-vk1qt]

You mean probably December Song (I Dreamed Of Christmas).

[@atolm1]

Watch the entire MTV's unplugged George michael and I guarantee a tear or two. Pure perfection. Also try let her down easy and going downtown live. Magical.

[@MylesAlexander93]

Honestly he was a pure vocalist. His tone, clarity and conviction was truly breathtaking, greatly missed. Please react to or at least check out this version that was done on the Terrell show, I believe George would be proud. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWqQoGCZqdWYfck

[@bk4062]

Hi, I enjoyed your reaction. George is George. No one can even touch George musically, You got It right, PERFECTION! George wrote, sang, arranged, produced, created, directed even things he has done. His music was, POP, R&B, SOUL, JAZZ, & EVEN A LITTLE SWING! Oh yes, George covered all the basses. George was a perfectionist when It came to his music. He sang the same way live as in the studio hands down. If his talent wasn't enough, The man he was uncomparable! My dear, just think, you only have 30+ years to catch up on. And George never recorded, or performed without even a hiccup! Lots of gooseys though! There's so much wonderful to learn about George & the kind of man he was & still is. George passed % years now Christmas Day! No Christmas will ever be the same without him! But he left us with beautiful memories And a music catalog that will carry us through the end of time. If you continue through George's world he will blow your mind, & will be VERY SPECIAL to you as he is for us. He's been a part of many people's lives in ways you couldn't even imagine. You will understand more as you read your audience's comments. I could go on, & tell you so much more about this magnificent Man, you have no idea! But, I won't because It would only be about 1/2 a volume out of ten, maybe more. As you can see I love to talk! And George, forever! Anyhow my Friend, REMEMBER GEORGE & KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING! LOL til next time, ENJOY!

[@kimberlypepper9264]

I so love George Michael. He's always had such a beautiful voice.

[@Alex-vk1qt]

This is really a beautiful song and the interpretation of him is insane. I can only recommend the song "You Have Been Loved" from the same concert. There is so much heartache in it.

[@dominiquesilva2070]

Bonnie Rait sang the original song…George is my favorite singer ever and he absolutely killed this cover, such an amazing job he did…thanks for reacting to my favorite singer

[@arsenalmanic]

Stunning !! Rip legend

[@kimberlypepper9264]

You would love One More Try by him.

[@cherimaree7969]

You're spot on with all of your comments my friend. Simplicity is grossly underrated! To execute at this level takes massive discipline and massive chops...PERIOTTTT!!!

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love him

[@christophergregory1]

I LOVE THIS MAN! George Michael will ALWAYS remain a permanent staple on my “All-Time Fav Voices” list. I can still remember seeing “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” video on MTV. I was 13 yrs old & cable was only available in the suburbs back then. Philly didn’t have it yet. So all my Philly friends didn’t get why I would wear an oversized sweatshirt w/ CHOOSE LIFE on it.😂😂😂😂

[@bgenesisthomas9146]

What a gifted young man, gone to soon! 😜🎤😜

[@ritchiec6317]

LEGEND.

[@bjorksurrounded]

goosebumps ! he was a masterful singer.

[@robinmeltzer9024]

Astonishing performance and a great authentic reaction. ‘You Have Been Loved’ from the same show is probably George Michael’s finest ever live performance. This ‘Unplugged’ was a very special night.

[@angelabarazzone7899]

I love the just singing a song, without all the extras, so many put in them sometimes.

[@celine4evauk]

Geez i love this song - and especially George singing it. This, and A Different Corner i will never get tired of. George had the most beautiful tone to his voice, that goes unmatched imo. His voice was like honey. Miss him :( LOL a babymaker!!! If only i had someone then i'm sure i'd agree with you LOL

[@belindastoltzfus7029]

George's voice is sooo sultry and beautiful. Voice of an angel. I could listen to his ballads all day long. He sure knows how to tell and make u feel every word. Appreciate yur reaction to George. R.I.P. GEORGE

[@Twistedpeppermint99]

I love how you totally get immersed in the music, as you're listening. This is exactly how I listen to music as well.. I have been viewing your videos for a few years now. I love your reactions, dude. Wishing you a blessed holiday season!! George Michael was one of the few male performers I have loved over the past 35-plus years but never got to see live. I was very depressed when he died on Christmas 2016. Thank God for KZbin, where we can all gather and reminisce..

[@mst1740]

Told ya...haha. The recorded version is even prettier imo but George is never a let down live. His backing vocalists are amazing. Everything works so well together.

[@brentmason6782]

You are so right! I feel the same exact emotions that you did…it’s great to know that other people get what we all do when hearing this! It’s possibly the best performance I’ve ever heard! You summed it up perfectly my friend! …”an innocence to his voice…” Is so well put…Thank You for showing everything I’ve known and felt while watching this! (I can’t get enough of hearing this) he is so missed! His mother was in the audience that night…she was ill and passed away a couple months later…but what a blessing to know he was hers and watching this incredible performance before she passed…and now he is with her!

[@saiyongdawn7756]

His tone and clarity and smooth richness, I’ve listened to his slow album songs for so many years. RIP. I haven’t listened to him in some time, I know a CD going in my car for a drive. One of the greats of a generation gone too soon.

[@leslapins7617]

Perfect! I also love this melody, everything about it! Thanks for this joy! I have a suggestion to you my dear Frank, if I may: next December 25 is the 5th anniversary of George Michael death 💔. This passing, most of us who are fans still can’t cope with. For this reason I humbly suggest you to react to some more GM songs from this MTV unplugged to celebrate the date in a positive way, celebrating his legacy! Or yet his fantastic participation in the Concert for Hope in 1993 (organized by Lady Di) Other great songs of this concert: Star People Everything she wants You have been loved Fastlove A different corner Freedom 90’ Father figure In concert for hope he sang Killer, Papa was a Rolling Stone, One more try, Love’s in the love need today/and a fantastic version of Freedom 90’) Thanks so much for reading this comment 🥰

I think this was a kind of a rehearsal, but the one to watch is the one where he's wearing a black baseball hat backward, & If I remember right, a leather jacket. All his background singers all surround him, & then FREEDOM Happens! Check It out If you haven't seen It already! LOL

Loved your reaction! Every time George gets into the “if you don’t, if you don’t, if you don’t” part I start crying. Just an incredibly emotive singer. You could FEEL that HE felt what he was singing. Please PLEASE do George Michael's live version of "A Different Corner." It's a beautiful, sad song that he wrote, it was a top 5 hit in the 80s, and the live version is somehow EVEN BETTER than the recording.
