The Wham documentary has re-energized my fascination (and likely many others') with George and I just discovered this interview. He is SO unabashedly himself and self aware. He is also SO well spoken and it reinforces why I have always found him to be a treasure. He was SO talented, treated so unfairly by the media, and is still so incredibly missed.

[@80sbabe]

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]

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.❤

Unfortunately I believe that George was never truly happy with himself. He did know how good his music was and he knew how an amazing singer he was. He also loves his fans and was a very generous human being with all his charities. The problem he had was with the gay community. Because he had a ten plus year open relationship with his husband and had the nerve to say I can have an open relationship with my partner and I'm happy that passed people off. Unfortunately I believe that his Insecurities and years of fame and the pressure from the press led him to do drugs during the last 12 years of his life. I however unlike some of the other nasty queens out there do not believe his open relationship caused his drug use. Sorry and the people who judge that harshly should look at themselves and shut the fuck up. Can't stand the hypocrisy

[@lisadebergerwheeler7306]

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]

"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 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.

He faced his sexuality.These dislikes may be from men who still haven't.I see men with their wives regularly who are obviously gay and living a lie.They don't fool all the people. It must be very difficult to pretend your life away.

Might be partly the brainwashed people who believe anything printed and told by the tabloid media, so they think Yog was a notorious drug addict, partly people who can't cope with Yog's honesty about men really only pretend.... bla bla bla 😉 and partly homophobics.

Who else just can't get over the fact that this wonderful, intelligent human being and immensely talented artist is no longer with us? What a loss to the music industry and Humanity 😔

What a wonderful interview. So hard to believe he’s gone!! What a talent ❤

[@lockergr]

Excellent meaty interview! I've always liked John Norris and George was so open, good-natured and likable, as he always is. A truly enjoyable watch! 😊

[@cjfroese70]

He was a darling. Such a gorgeous voice and extraordinary talent. I was a young teen in Canada, enjoying his music so much. It’s so sad that he’s gone.

[@ericahenderson7093]

After the Wham documentary I just start looking for stuff about Andrew and George and came across this interview.. George is very intelligent and very candid in this interview.. Well spoken.. And I just loved him ever since I was a kid

[@cynthiathompson4627]

He was so honest in all these interviews. Getting personal and revealing.

[@hawsrulebegin7768]

Great interview. George grew into his own man. Didn’t care about pleasing everyone all the time, spoke his mind acted on his instincts. So sad his troubles got him into depressions. Wouldn’t it be great to have him around as an older guy.. RIP George.

[@jennifercurtis6071]

So true George when my dad passed mum and sisters could not cope. They relied on me and then I crashed, I had no one. you were a wise articulate man. I'm so sorry you had demons. Xjx

[@charlottaw599]

Such inner turmoil and pain. George used to say he always believed he’d die young, so I guess he really gave life his best but circumstances made it impossible to go on.

George Michael is intelligent and articulate. He was a true talented artist and his death was untimely.

It is December 23, 2020. His 4th death anniversary is in 2 days. Last Christmas is playing a lot on the radio. Covid is dominating the news globally. Miss you so much George Michael.

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.

Fabulous interview. George was very articulate even when he was with WHAM and this interview demonstrates his self awareness and intelligence. What a marvelous man. Missed by millions of people who adored his musicality and charitable generosity.

[@ShalomShalom-d5c]

The day George died was a tremendous loss not only musically but as a wonderful human being. He gave over $10M pounds to charities & people in need. Obviously he was a very sensitive man, with a great sense of humor. its just so sad to me how his last years were so hard for him. Alone yet surrounded by so many. RIP you beautiful soul.

@@angelbaby3872His father is Greek Cypriot, so Yog is therefore mixed race, he's got half Greek blood. But feels himself very British! 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. Surely Yog loves Greece and Cyprus but hasn't spend an awful lot of time there. He doesn't even know how to speak Greek. 😊

Patricia Mir. Yes, they all wanted to keep on asking him questions about the entrapment incident. FFS why would they want to spend so much time on that, when this guy had so much more to talk about.

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...❤️🕊️
