George Michael Special! - Fastlove Reaction!

[@georgiamavroudi9648]

it's one of these songs that never gets old. The "forget me not" sample works magic here

[@devinknight6346]

Will Smith's "Men in Black" also uses the sample

[@jamesmarie]

None of George Michael's song gets old.

[@go234ko96ts5]

This song is dynamite, the video, the voice of George Michael and the characters in the video make for a great dance tune and what a tempo.

[@justinviney8474]

Oh man!!!! This entire album is just beautiful jazzy pop r&b hits. One of my faves!

[@billybscotland7246]

You guys should combine your GM and Whitney weeks and do their duet ‘if I told you that’

[@raisa_cherry35]

Love dat song ❤

[@robbierogersfan3724]

Yay! more George! LOVE this song!

[@blackkatt777]

I freakin love this song. It gets me going. I also love his use of the sample from "Forget me not".

[@rowanmayfair9249]

The album this is on, Older, was fully dedicated to his lost love, Anselmo Feleppa. It's his masterpiece, hands down. He threw everything at it and we all felt it. Jesus To A Child is simply the most touching, heartfelt song about losing the love of your life I've ever heard. Spinning The Wheel is my 2nd fave by him, a very smooth take on the dangers that can be out there from HIV/AIDS, especially during this time. Every song will pull at you. Fast Love can be a sad song if you look at it. That kind of pain, that type of loss can rip you apart. You come out of it though a little Older, a little wiser. Still hurting, yes, Fast Love is all you can give at that moment. It's a masterclass in love, loss, mourning, and finding love again. Only he could have done it.

Yes Rowan, Yes! That was George's magic. He tapped into real life. Not just his but ours as well. Whether it was sad, happy, or a mix, George reached into our hearts and has never left. What a gift, straight down from heaven above. I'm not just talking about now, but George's very existence! His gift of love. 💝💖 BK

[@madeleineglo7696]

Fast love is about just having sex. Not about Anselmo. Jesus to a child was for Anselmo

[@rowanmayfair9249]

@madeleineglo7696 The casual hookups were because of his loss. Ie: I miss my baby. I never said it was about him, though, did I? I'm reading what I wrote and feel confused regarding your response.

[@madeleineglo7696]

​@@rowanmayfair9249im just saying fast love means no commotment love meaning sex then move on. George used to go cruising over hampstead heath have fast love lol thats all i meant many did straight or gay still do i imagine i know my son did. More use condoms now cos of aids many dont they have forgot nead reminding aids is still out there.

[@leosousa6636]

Thats the mv i fell in love with him by watching it. That shower part is amazing, he is very missed.

[@raisa_cherry35]

Shower part is hot 🥰😍

[@Seriousascancer]

George had been in a legal battle with his former record company Sony. You can see this in the video, with the headphones he’s wearing, the say Fony 😃😘 expressing what he felt about them…

[@NoAnimalLeftUnfedInc2015]

Listen to the original Patrice Rushen, Forget Me Not. I will continue to write that George Michael was a rhythm and blues singer :)

You can't imagine how cool I feel myself being Young and admiring this music and dancing on the dance floors like they are in the clip. Now I am 48.- I see no anything comparable nowadays. It is like the ice age of music/videos.now.

[@sfdennis1]

I do believe we're practicing the same religion ;-)

[@CE9637]

Mid 90s ❤ We were on the dance floor to this in ‘96 x

[@TrevorPalmatiershow]

The male model is Tony Ward, one of Madonna's boyfriends.

[@robertfraser9873]

He features in three of her music videos. Cherish (1990), Justify my love (1990) and Erotica ( music video and her SEX book, 1992). ❤❤

[@FLRSKLVR]

You should check out 'As' featuring Mary J Blige. It was a huge hit in Europe but did nothing in the US.

[@betagombar9022]

Fastlove has been my mobile phone ringtone for years, absolutely love this song 💜 if you want interesting characters then watch George's Flawless and An easier affair videos, fantastic songs with great videos 💜

[@rowanmayfair9249]

A Different Corner is mine! I'm not alone still rocking George! ❤

[@celine4evauk]

Love this song. I remember George saying that near the end of the video shoot he was feeling quite smug because he's seen everybody having to get soaked - then the director etc decided George would get under the water too! LOL. Always love any video with George in it, knowing how much he hated doing them. It made them more special, him taking part. Favourite song though - A Different Corner Favourite George duet - I Knew You Were Waiting with Aretha Franklin - 80's mega bop!

[@CJB83041]

I love this especially with Kylie in the background

[@robertfraser9873]

I absolutely love the following three songs that were massive at the time. Spinning the wheel ( original and sped up dance version), Outside (one of the best humourlessly written song's, just sticking two fingers up to everyone who was giving him strife for having got caught cruising for gay sex) and also his cover of the song Killer/Papa was a rolling stone. ❤❤

[@raisa_cherry35]

My favourite of all time ❤

[@lynetteminute]

love this song of his, and Adele's cover/tribute of it.

[@mcasaniu]

"If I told you that", "Older", "Amazing"

[@spamniese99]

This was around mid 90's and was the Era when Michael was coming out of the closet...and is associated with the famous public restroom cruise he was caught doing This album is the best for me...the all album is a masterpiece 90's was the the best

[@teewhyemm1130]

The song associated with the bathroom incident was "Outside"

[@spamniese99]

@@teewhyemm1130 I know...🎶🎶 .Lets go outside... Let's go outside Outside 🎶🎶

[@rosemiller2990]

This song was one of 6 singles released off the Older album. All six went into the top 3. 2 at number 1, 3 at number 2 and 1 number 3. I think to date it still hold a record for 6 songs to land in the top 3 off of one album. Older is a multi platinum album, which he calls his masterpiece. This video makes me think of modern day Tinder. 😂

[@martinfehringer6408]

I'm pretty sure this came out in 95 because I watched and wrote down the MTV European Top 20 every week when I was 14 - 16 ^^ Very ahead of 95 this was :P

[@michiganjfrog366]

Men in Black sampled Patrice Rushins Forget Me Nots too. Fast Love is on My favorite George Michael CD and one of my favorite CDs of all time called Older. You should react to his song called Spinning the Wheel... You won't regret it 😁

[@GAZMAN2002]

Oh the fony printed on the headphones is fantastic. George Michael had a huge lawsuit with Sony Columbia in the 90s. You should watch the movie he made before he died it's called Freedom Uncut.

[@NickyC43]

I love these guys.

[@mabelhermes6479]

Great reaction

[@NocturneSoul]

I would put this video in the same list with Vanessa Daou "Near The Black Forest", Madonna "Human Nature" and "Rain", Bryan Adams "The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You", Meredith Brooks "What Would Happen", Janet Jackson "Together Again (Deeper Remix)", Toni Braxton "You're Making Me High", The Wallflowers "One Headlight", Fiona Apple "Criminal", Spice Girls "2 become 1", En Vogue "Whatever".

[@ijustneedmyself]

I want to see Mike as an almost scene kid 😅

[@saranissen6210]

Love this song, but my most favorite of his is Freedom by Wham or A different corner

[@FindingMadonna]

This is actually a pretty dark/sad song. It's about trying to find comfort in one-night stands after you've lost someone (in this case, GM lost his partner to AIDS) and not being able to open up again but still wanting connection. The video feels a bit dated now but it's fun to watch! Have you reacted to "Too Funky" yet??

[@p.m.8666]

Song is great don’t forget that ¡

[@scottydogg72]

It’s about cruising lol

[@schw0373]

I remember when this song came out, I liked overall it but still really wanted him to return to his earlier sounds from either Faith or LWPV1. I just never felt this song was on the same level as I Want Your Sex, Freedom 90, Monkey, Faith, Father Figure, Praying for Time, etc.

[@peerlesskells1014]

Hey guys, so I was hoping y'all would do a week 2 for MJB. These videos listed are a bit more storytelling/cinematic. I think you two would enjoy. 1. All That I Can Say 2. Deep Inside 3. Take Me As I Am 4. One ft. U2. 5. Whole Damn Year. All of em are dope. Love the channel btw, been on board with you guys a little over a year now. I always look forward to your reactions to some of our favorite artists. Also, I admire you guys examining of music videos-from fashion, jewelry, locations, etc. Not to mention, y'all are hilarious af frfr. But I hope you guys get around to checking out the list for week 2. Much love & God bless 🙏🏾 🫶🏾🤍 ..

[@dncilu]

Actually, Patrice Rushen's song was not sampled in this track, technically it's just a quote (or mention, I don't know which is the correct form), instead in MIB, in that case, Patrice Rushen's song was sampled .

[@LozzfrmOz]

You guys ever done reactions to Kylie Minogue videos? What a rabbit hole to go down there She’s awesome. Especially the performance on the Fever Tour 2002, Live 🫶

[@Debbie-m7f]

We are reacting to a legend George!! And you mention her c’mon seriously 😒

[@LozzfrmOz]

@@Debbie-m7f They are BOTH Legendary performers 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yes, George is/was a legend and he had respect for people & his fellow performers, more than you appear to have . Take a leaf out of his book and “Listen Without Prejudice”

[@CJB83041]

@@Debbie-m7fshe was the singer in the background in this song

That woman tore my heart from my chest that night. The way she slowed it down to really hit on that I miss my baby... damn. We shan't speak of Chris Martin. I love him.... NOT doing A Different Corner, especially with George coming in.

[@madeleineglo7696]

George wore ripped jeans

[@sweetchavacano2]

definitely not “late nineties” this is very much mid-nineties

[@santacruz7455]

Love the song, the video not so much...

[@Debbie-m7f]

Any George Michael song worth reacting to…

[@lookhowshegobbledthat]

I love this one. It's basically about meaningless hookups to cope/get over losing the first love of his life to HIV/AIDS three years before this song came out.
