George Michael - I Can't Make You Love Me (Live)

[@trodd77]

There is no doubt that George Michael was one of the best vocalists that ever lived.

[@davidbrittain3212]

For me, the best. Nobody else come close, male or female.

[@steveheckle8847]

Two ARTISTS that do it for me, one I found on KZbin over 5yrs ago, her name, the magical voice of MORISSETTE AMON LAMAR from the Philippines and one guy who has always been magical to the music world, the brilliant and sadly missed GEORGE MICHAEL, your music lives on 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.

[@amriaye7593]

George and Luther vandross my absolute favourite

[@steveheckle8847]

@@amriaye7593 you should take a listen to MORISSETTE AMON LAMAR mate she's absolutely brilliant, she's like so easy on the ears with a personality to die for, for a Filipino her English enunciation in her songs is perfection, the only problem is she is an independent artist who won't submit to the big corporate music industry in fear of not being allowed to be herself which unfortunately is not based on talent anymore but rather image based, she's an old school singer despite only being 27yrs old, she mesmerises an audience with her whole persona, personality, charisma with a voice that no one can even come close to 🇬🇧🔥👌❤️.

[@trodd77]

true... while george michael was trying to stay alive in this industry, he became so superficial investing in the careers of these terrible singers today!!! One thing I know George Michael once said he wanted to be remembered as the greatest singer of romantic music... and that's how I see him!!!! And that's how he was immortalized singing with his heart in his throat... his music will never die, it's part of him and that's how he becomes immortal.

[@inawatson5803]

So very true

[@GrimmmReaperz]

This was the last time George’s beloved mother saw him perform. He never sang better and no one has ever sang this song better. It’s absolute perfection. I’m a metal and rock guy… and even I think George Michael is the greatest male singer to ever sing a song. Simply brilliant. Much missed.

[@kandoo1316]

Same here brother. His voice is absolute perfection.

[@funkyseefunkydo9622]

Yes I agree so much with these sentiments. His voice is like a bell. No matter how how fondly he is remembered I still think he was underrated as a singer. Literally one of the best of all time.

[@roykliffen9674]

I'm sorry, no matter how much I love this rendition, the Bonnie Raitt original will for me always be the standard other artists will be measured against. This rendition comes close, very close to matching it.

Makes me weep every time! What a voice, what a legend! Miss you Georgie! My first gay hairdresser in San Francisco introduced me to George back in the late 70s. Then the AIDS epidemic hit and the gay population really suffered in SF. We all worked to raise money for some of the first hospices for gay men. It was a tough time. Thank god we are through that. Bless you George for coming out. Your voice is one of a kind. So much love. ❤️ ❤❤

The first time I heard this version was an early morning in summer 2017. My ex-husband and I went down to the hotel's breakfast room. We were the first to arrive and exactly as we stepped in, the music started and it was exactly this song. The message I felt was that, after 40 years, it was time to part ways. It's now almost seven years ago that we finally broke up and extra sad because we didn't even argue. We still call each other every week but definitely don't feel like we're going to be a couple again.

I seen an interview of him talking about this MTV unplugged performance. He said that his mother was in the audience that night. He said that everything was perfect about the music that night... his voice, his breathing, and the band. He stated that he'd never spoken to his mother from the stage before but he did that night and that was the last time she seen him perform before she died. I remember seeing this on MTV at that time and the entire set was amazing. He looked in the audience and said "hi mom... smiling." We lost huge when we lost this beautiful soul!
