First Time Hearing George Michael - Freedom! '90 (Reaction!)

[@jeanniedebartolo5965]

❤love George Michael ❤RIP

[@Ray1969.]

This song was about him shedding the industry persona and becoming himself. Freedom!

[@anthonyv1719]

The top supermodels of the time - Turlington, Evangelista, Crawford, Pattiz and a few others. Never to be duplicated again.

[@sasapetroski981]

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Back in the days of "Supermodels" ❤

[@georgia1bulldogs]

So glad you are listening to all the music you missed!

[@A.Kanters]

This was "the Bomb" back in the day....

[@David-s6e4q]

Great song ! 🎵 It’s a statement song The 4 supermodels in this are 🔥🔥🔥

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

George was distancing away from Wham so he could start a new, some also say he was making a statement on his Sexuality, this song has become an anthem in the LGBTQ community 🌈 Peace 😊✌️ your 70 year old forever Young Hippie Gary🕺🕺 💃💃 Great Reaction 👍

[@christianslater2736]

Thanks had a feeling that was what it was about, ,but I was pretty young when this came out, and hadn't even come to terms with my own sexuality lol

[@doplinger1]

I think you’re right, Shon - his best, IMO.

[@JohnGuzik]

When he was in Wham, people used to clown him, but looking back at his career and abilities, my god, how does one person get so much talent?

[@joskokrstulovic1258]

Everything she wants is another great song of Wham,you should check.

[@sammic7492]

George refused to appear in the video as he didn't want to promote the album or any of the singles on it as he had fallen out with the record label, as they wanted to hold him to a contract and wanted him to make music he didn't want to and this was his reply to the label. Just as a side note the director of this video was David Fincher who later went on to make the films Seven, Fight Club and Social Network.

[@dcg4mn]

Yeah it’s ironic the label was demanding basically copies of his earlier music because this was better than them all.

[@EvanWeber1234]

Man, you bout to go crazy on this one

[@kymmunson3270]

They won’t go when go is one of the many other great songs on the same album. The whole album is outstanding.

[@IDriveAnAudi]

Great song but TBH, I’ve always stuck around the video to watch the supermodels.

[@tdbd69]

If I remember correctly, this song/album had a lot to do with his artistic integrity… and the different direction that he wanted to go, versus his record company, at the time. He refused to be on camera for this music video, which is why THE supermodels of the 90’s were recruited 🔥

[@richardc8795]

This video has been explained by many in the comments, so I will skip that. All I will say is that George Michael has some of the most beautiful ballads. My favourite being One More Try. Great review!

[@dcg4mn]

I may be forgetting a track or two but I do think this is his best.

[@jai07070]

Two things I believe George is referring to in this song . I think he was having issues with his recording company. Burning his jacket and exploding the instruments to promote his freedom. Secondly, opening up on his true sexuality being Gay.

[@David-s6e4q]

I agree. Most people miss the point of this song

[@minneyruth]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@melissatuel862]

Hey Shon! You're correct about his wanting to change his music style. However, the record label didn't want him to because up until that time he was doing mostly pop style songs that were making lots of $$$$. He decided to use super models to convey that he felt like that was all the label wanted him to be. However he felt as though he had grown beyond that. Ultimately they fired him and he started making much better music.

[@Alex-vk1qt]

You should definitely listen to the unplugged version.
