George Michael Radio 1 interview - August 1990

August 1990
George Michael interviewed by Steve Wright on BBC Radio 1, promoting his latest album 'Listen Without Prejudice'.

[@kiki-fz9kg]

Ah, that laugh! I could listen to George laugh (and talk) all day. Miss you Georgie.

[@MiKa-im3tm]

Absolutely heartbreaking to listen to him talking about his plans for the future and how he wanted to stay away from the limelight to focus on making better music and to produce an album every 18 months knowing how things went completely against his will… so sad!

[@susaneves1980]

This is the second time I have listened to this interview and and I really could hear George's humour he had a lovely personality and he was really intelligent with his replys to the questions he was asked he really could take the piss out of himself he was just a really lovely human being genuine and cared about his music and people heaven got a shining star when God called him home rip george xxxx

[@PFCD]

George's hilarious witty personality projected through that heavenly speaking voice was as sexy as his looks and performance skills. Ahhh George we miss you so! ❤

[@carolineharry6605]

Listening to this March 2024. I saw him at Wembley and the image of the album cover was projected onto the building outside. I have been to many gigs since that night. All enjoyable in their own ways. But George at Wembley remains my absolute favourite ever night of my life. Elton joined him on stage. The eruption from the audience was incredible. I miss him and it hurts knowing we will never see him again. What a great relaxed interview. Honest, laid back, natural. ❤

Steve Wright - Careless Whisper reminds me of driving down Sunset Boulevard with a blonde next me George - Well I wrote it in Watford Classic

[@terminal-velocity111]

I remember this interview. I was working on a building site in Birmingham. Takes me way back to when life was seemingly better. We’d use a landline to call people and enjoyed waiting for things.

[@deerheart87]

I’m sure it was better back then I was so much happier

[@chanelreid3914]

One of the best interviews that I have heard!

[@handsome-brute2666]

Now the interviewer has passed..in February 🙏🏾

[@handsome-brute2666]

It's hard to listen 👂🏽 to this knowing All the tragedies that lay ahead...his mom death . sisters death 💀 on Xmas..his boyfriend ☠️ death..a 4-week prison sentence..car crashes... Beverly Hills restroom 🚻 arrest and that fateful evening buying drugs 💊 (heroin from his dealer that stopped his heart..What A Life!🤔(Family had the toxicology report sealed indefinitely)

[@handsome-brute2666]

Overall the best interview... right before he died his company SONY and met Anselmo the following year🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@gkp1823]

Oh thanks a lot for sharing !! Listening to George is such a pleasure...makes you forget for a moment that he's not with us anymore. It's really nice hearing him laugh and joke.... George you are so deeply missed by so many people....I do miss you, as I never missed anybody so far....but you've got a warm place in my heart, more than ever ! You'll always have.

[@DesireOnly1]

I miss hearing his beautiful voice😥😫💔

[@chrisblay]

Steve Wright in the afternoon on Radio 1. That takes me back. Hard to believe this (and Listen without Prejudice) were recorded 30 years ago.

[@skyblue1757]

You know how to have fun George, so down to earth. Today is December 25th 2020. 4 years ago you passed away. What a sad day. I cried so much.

[@danielwright3791]

As a younger George fan and LWP being my favourite record ever, I came across this interview a couple of weeks ago. Very sad the recent news of Steve Wright's passing. Very good, fun interview!

[@aloisemason3972]

George Michael's is on top of everything..knows his music

[@LoveandPeace528]

He has such a wicked good sense of humor. Luv that about him. ❤️

[@junepwoo4529]

What a happy feel to this interview. Musically, this man is mega talented and very articulate in expressing himself. RIP George Michael. Love always

[@davidsingh163]

Thank you for posting. He was the best!!

[@Richie8a8y]

Listening to this and other old radio interviews of George as I clear out the closet in my bedroom tonight. Suddenly I’m 25 again - when I came out of the closet and immediately filled it with the armour that would provoke and protect from the slings and arrows of the world. George Micheal’s music was there for all of it; often a great source of comfort and always a fabulous resource when celebrating. I feel like we grew up together. You have been loved. Thanks for posting. ❤️

[@grasshoppersunny688]

I WROTE IT IN WATFORD! ☺ GEORGE YOU WAS A SUPER TALENTED MAN WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOUR-RIP YOG ( SOUL FREE ) X X

[@theuofc]

GM: "I'll send you anything if you buy five copies of the album!"...:-) I love his sense of humor and joking about his own image. No chip on his shoulder, but a sense of reality without being negative. Such a lovely man. THANK YOU for sharing this gem which shows the personal and terrific side of George.

[@aprilgosa5779]

he is so honest and intelligent and happy he is unique

[@DesireOnly1]

Loved every moment of this treasured interview, a reminisce of jovial, lively, hilarious George Michael. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@cojura1655]

[@soniagreer9452]

Probably my favorite interview with brilliant George. So articulate and soooo funny. Miss you, sweet, beautiful, amazing George.

[@So-pp9nq]

Thank you for this precious interview. It was the time of the ascent and the happy projects… before the tragedies. As if fame had a price. As if for a being as talented as him, the bill had to be priceless.

[@davinastanton3865]

Wonderful interview. I love this beautiful man. Forever Young. Forever Free. Loved and missed by so many. X❤🕊

[@LisaReed-yt3uo]

The interviews I've heard so far I agree 💯% and I'd like to say I believe his mother was probably extremely proud not just by his performances but also by his well spoken voice, intelligent responses and OMG, his humor is the icing on thr cake!!! As a mother, grandmother and a very mature woman it's great to hear☺️

[@DesireOnly1]

Sooo humble and I loved him so much for that🙏🙏😇😇😇❤❤❤❤

[@victoriawilliams1078]

Love George's sense of humor, would have love to hang out with him❤

[@tracymcginty.2860]

What a fantastic informative funny Interview 💗 George Michael so honest & lovely Steve Weight always a pleasure never a chore !! so cool !! 💗

[@aprilgosa5779]

Love him so down to earth just sat there chatting like he was not a superstar we love you George way beyond any image yes Faith caught our attention and its sentimental to me because its the first I saw you as a kid that I really paid mind to but your soul is made us fall in love and Go go is adorable and a great song even though i had no clue that was the same man as Faith

[@Franklin.Ellesmere]

I love George, my favourite artist of all time, a talent sorely missed. Lots of his music remastered on my channel. Miss you dude

[@worldcupwonders]

Sad listening to George say I’ve got loads of ideas for next album and being no where near his best. The next few years were full of heartache and it was another six years until Older.

[@CriticalThinking-ql2hh]

I love this interview! Thank you so much for posting it. It was so wonderful to hear George laugh and really speak to his truth.

[@grasshoppersunny688]

[@edithmeunier5513]

YOG YOU WAS MY EVERYTHING YOU KNOW !

[@deborahdeveroux5965]

No he's my Yog ❤️ lol.since I was 14 yrs old smash hits every time he was in it.posters all over my wall my first crush and first love.

[@aprilgosa5779]

I hope he never gave his songs away but he covered others songs phenomenally he sang past time paradise only in concert

[@jodisdream7357]

Such a fantastic interview 😁 Glad there were some decent ones left.

[@danielwaters1222]

Great interview and some background on my favorite album of all time, "LWP". Interesting part of the interview when he says he wants to promote less and make more music. Unfortunately, the suit with Fony and personal losses impacted his creativity. Wish there was more music to listen to from this genius.

[@vickyely2222]

AMEN

[@lioneletreginelair1156]

J'adore la voix de george dans les années 90 il nous manque énormément fan depuis 80 bisous à toi au paradis fan regine 😍💋💔💜💜💜💜😭😢😭😭😎😎😎😎😎📞adieu mon idole ☎️😢😭😭😎😎😎😭

[@aprilgosa5779]

he said father figure was his favorite video LOL and as he got older and starting doing then again he appreciated it more and just had fun I hope they were just fun the music was most important but i loved having a face to put with the song the press sucks

[@geriemgolchae1934]

Richard: If anyone could cover Faith who would you want to cover Faith? George Michael: Roger Whittaker?! Listen at 31:49. Brilliant answer to this question.

[@aprilgosa5779]

i love Mother's Pride i love the whole LWP album

[@kskufan]

he was so right about videos

[@aprildannette9820]

Videos in my opinion or atleast his videos are entertaining LOL

[@daddyyrich]

15:06 i wish that came true :(

[@kiely4561]

“Like a fairy I heard” lol

[@aprilgosa5779]

Nobody can cover Faith album or the songs his songs are his

[@cbfltd]

“You seem more upbeat” implying he was not in previous times didn’t like that mr Wright then revert back to money and laughs it off George was smart but sadly went along with him .. steve Wright never been a fan, he’s the face of NEGATIVITY heavily disguised ! Well done George you are and we’re always light years ahead and they just couldn’t get near you

[@aprilgosa5779]

he did go back to interviews and videos on his terms

[@missisfreddiemercury]

I hate when they talk to him about money, it is rude, in my opinion, but still funny interview :)

[@aprilgosa5779]

Wham! doing Love Machine was fabulous I am not just saying that I also love Bad Boys and he loves the Go-Go record if not the video

[@boogiebloomers1562]

💜⭐️💜

[@Penny-yu2zb]

💕💋💕💋💕💋💕💋💕💋

[@theknowerandtheknown]

George was interviewed by his science teacher

[@ERMANGEZER]

Rahmetlinin en diri zamanlariydi ama ticari anlaşma sıkıntıları yüzünden cok az albüm yapabildi.. 90 2000 arası 7 8 album yapabilirdi

[@madeleineglo7696]

George covered papa was a rolling stone The Temptations georges version is great but so is the Temptations.

[@weydamillieh1132]

Does anyone know what Itsy Bitsy Song he's talking about at 10:28. Is it the one by Timmy Mallet or are they just joking? :)

[@bubbleeducation5002]

Yes, it was the Timmy Mallet song that was in the charts at that time and he was most definitely joking.

[@weydamillieh1132]

Thank you. So he actually meant the other version, the original (forgot the artist’s name)

[@Gabriel-zk9gb]

Is there somewhere the full thing that dosent cuts?

[@So-pp9nq]

Cuts are mandatory, for copyright reasons.

[@yongsuanlin6255]

🍎🙆‍♀️🙏👍

[@stephentaylor2066]

Steve Wright’s back up laughing hyenas always put me off listening to him, which is a shame as he is a brilliant broadcaster.

[@Foxxxtrottt64]

😂😂😂😂😂😂Back up hyenas 😂😂

[@glendaloggins7147]

george micheal are not the only gay man. why keep on talking.

[@silversteel6312]

George isn’t dead. He paid the same agency as Prince and Michael Jackson. Through established hypnosis techniques and cosmetic surgery, set the star up in a new life with a new face with no memory of what has been before. This agency operates above the level of governments and their reach is extensive. How do I know? I paid the agency for the same service. I am risking all to comment here. Once you pay there is no option to cancel. The agency is hunting me down, not to kill me but to fulfil the contract I agreed to escape my life and to provide a peaceful existence. I will try and comment again if I can. Before I go, keep an eye on Tom Cruise………..

[@QueenDynamo]

His grave exists, he's buried beside his mom and sibling. Quit your conspiracy theory BS
