WHAM! Everything She Wants REACTION | Why I Work So Hard For Yoooooou!!!

[@dabelgrave]

You guys gotta give Andrew Ridgeley some grace. He and George were homies all the way back to school days and they went at this music thing together. And together they put something hot together in Wham that introduced us to the genius of George Michael. They remained good friends until the day George died. Well done, Andrew. 👍🏾

[@JazzFan76]

*Ridgeley

[@brighteyes1014]

Show Andrew Ridgeley some love. No jealousy, no hatred, just pure support and love for his school- mate George Michael. A TRUE best friend to the end!!

[@thecountess]

Word.

[@JazzFan76]

I agree. Andrew was just as important as George even though George got the fame.

[@pytube777]

George Michael generously included Andrew on writing credits to all Wham songs so he gets paid as a writer too. What a guy!

While everyone else was crushing on George Michael, I only had eyes for Andrew. 🥰

That “My God! I don’t even think…that I love You” is my favorite part 🔥. This song stands the test of time ❤

[@lepoetress]

The way he said it with his WHOLE CHEST and 10 toes down, he meant that from his soul!! His songs seemed personal, like he experienced it himself or, he was conveying the thoughts and feelings of someone he knew who went through it

[@jaymejackson2003]

FACTS !!!!!

[@rolybling]

Andrew was George's best friend since school and George was far too generous a person to sideline Andrew, they were buddies. Andrew also was the one who persuaded George to ditch college and start a band. Andrew was integral to Wham! existing in the first place and George always recognised that in interviews. George was a real force in music.

[@mandyhargraves8589]

If it wasn't for Andrew there would be no George it was Andrew that pushed George to start a band he could see the potential in George, it was 98 when he got caught in the toilet but a plain clothed cop it was entrapment but George made the song Out side it was brilliant, George asked Andrew could he do careless whisper as a solo cos he was still with Wham and Andrew did play a part in careless whisper,I'm your man and Edge of Heaven are just 2 great songs of Wham they all are any thing by George would be wonderful

[@xoxxobob61]

Yeah George didn't "Come Out" he was "Outted"! It's not like everybody didn't suspect he was Gay.

[@mandyhargraves8589]

@@xoxxobob61 I didn't have a clue I know he was outed but those cops new what they were doing the photo they used was a year old and yes I agree George new what he was doing as well but he didn't know they were cops they were not in uniform any way I don't care it doesn't take away his music he had an amazing voice and wrote wonderful songs

[@rowanmayfair9249]

This video will forever remind me of seeing Wham! live. This concert was the Make It Big tour and the video is dead on what I saw. GM's solo Faith tour I also went to and the video Monkey was dead on as well. I love that I have these to look back on. I hate to say it but every vocal in this song is actually GM. I hate putting that out as we know Andrew wasn't just "there".

[@temp-x8518]

Andrew is a huge part of wham and its creation he brought George out of his shell and comfort zone and was the one who persuaded George to start a band watch the documentary and see how Andrew impacted the group he had no jealousy just pure loyalty and love for his best friend

[@caricatures9155]

The voices on this song are all George,he wrote,arranged,sung and produced it

[@sylvimichelle6447]

Andrew was just as important as George! He WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE GROUP! They were school buddies as well! Don't say he didn't do shit!!There would be no wham without Andrew! Both of them were very much important!!

[@jabarrobbins1057]

Andrew Ridgeley actually put out a solo album after Wham! disbanded and George became the big star he was and also co-produced by George too

[@Michelle-gf9bu]

Thank you for taking me back to my youth while on my lunch break! R.I.P George Michael who left the world too soon ❤

RIP music legend, George Michael

[@workingman6681]

This is my favorite song by Wham!👍😎

[@Alex-vk1qt]

Even though the role of Andrew Ridgeley is often not appreciated, he was quite important for the development and self-confidence of George Michael. He co-wrote the songs Wham Rap, Club Tropicana and Careless Whisper with George Michael, but he recognized early the musical potential of his schoolmate. He also released a solo album, but was not really successful. Later he married Keren Woodward from Bananarama, today they are separated. No doubt, George Michael was a musical genius. A vocalist, musician, producer and entertainer. Live just as good if not better than on record. Absolutely worth seeing is his MTV unplugged concert. My favorite Wham songs are Everything She Wants, I'm Your Man and Where Did Your Heart Go? (Written by David Was and Don Was). My absolute favorite songs of his are: Praying For Time, Cowboys And Angels, Spinning the Wheel and My Mother Had A Brother.

[@shayla-lee]

Andrew did SHIT! George Michael gave him writing credit for Careless Whisper so he would get royalties. After George went solo, I guess Andrew got so tired of seeing world-wide headiness "Wham!: George Michael and the Other Guy" that he tried to prove himself by releasing a solo album. He sounded like a cat being run over by a car. He was useless and only in the group so it could be a group and George was not ready to be solo. Let's call a duck, a duck.

[@Justyna_N]

Andrew and Keren were never married but the rest is 💯🎯

[@whipporwillssong2256]

Watch George and Aretha duet " I Knew You Were Waiting". Their voices complimented each other so well.

George was so sexy. Such a gorgeous man. Rest in peace George Michael.

[@rosamiller8687]

George Michael was the most played artist on British radio for 20 years straight? He had an epic voice with the songwriting skills of a genius. His twenty-five live world tour, a celebration of 25 years in the music business, was beyond spectacular. I went to both concerts. One at Madison Square Gardens and one in washington dc. At that time, he was already mid to late forties, and his voice was flawless. George was known to have one of the best voices. He last toured all over Europe, singing in the most prestigious opera house backed by Symphony orchestra. This resulted in a standing ovation European tour. People came out of that tour saying that his voice never sounded better and was absolutely beautiful. There is a reason this man sold over a hundred and twenty million records. He had it all as a songwriter composer singer producer. Talent like this does not come along everyday.

[@yvette9181]

That's awesome, Rose. I'm with you on there...I saw him twice in one week when here was in California...in Wednesday in Anaheim then Saturday in Los Angeles. Could never get enough of his magnificence ❤❤

[@melissawright1979]

And to think, when George was a teenager, his father told him that pursuing music was a waste of time and he can't sing for shit! Lol. Oh how George proved him and others wrong x

[@sonofmargit]

I went to the very last show on that tour, in Copenhagen. He added that show to thank Denmark for the support through the years. Per capita, Denmark was his biggest market, and 150,000 attended the 3 shows he did here, which was the biggest audience, also per capita. He was, of course, beyond amazing. I cried several times, it was that good.

[@rosamiller8687]

@@sonofmargit , that's wonderful!

[@sassypatty2666]

Check out his performance of Somebody to Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert at Wembley,full of rock royalty and megastars but George blew them all away with that magnificent tribute to Freddy.

Fellas, first of all, Rip George Michaels!!! George Michael started his career with the group called Wham, which they had great hits like Wake Me Up Before U Go Go, Everything She Wants, Last Christmas, I'm Your Man, One More Try, Freedom, I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me) with Aretha Franklin, Amazing were most of his great hits. This cat was a bad ass man who left this planet too dam soon. Rip George!!! U R miss by ur fans. God Bless U up in Heaven. Rob N Amber check all those songs I put on there. U guys will like his music.

[@Elmogrl71]

Andrew was the personality of the group. George has said that in many interviews. Yes George was the writer, producer, arranger, of all the music, but he wouldn't have had any of that without Andrew. Seriously. He was wayyyy to shy. George was an amazing person as well. He will always be my idol.

[@lingolarker9318]

Andrew was probably the coolest company, the most chilled of the two. However George was the truly talented one. He took the music more seriously.

I saw wham twice in the mid-80s but i was an Andrew Ridgely fan! I’m a sucker for the olive skin and downturned brown eyes. ❤

From Wikipedia on George Michael: He achieved 13 number-one songs on the UK Singles Chart and 10 number-one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. Michael won numerous music awards, including two Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards. He was listed among Billboard's the "Greatest Hot 100 Artists of All Time" and Rolling Stone′s the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time”.[8] The Radio Academy named him the most played artist on British radio during the period 1984-2004.[9] Michael was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the UK Music Hall of Fame.[10]

If it weren't for "the other guy" pressing GM to start a group when they were still in school, GM most likely wouldn't exist as we knew him. He had said on several occasions that due to his lack of confidence, he based George Michael on Andrew Ridgeley, thus becoming the star we knew.

You guys were cracking me up about Andrew. He’s just got that one part. 😂🤣

[@KB-xp6dq]

A large part of the reason Wham! ended was because it was torturous for Andrew to just be known as "the other guy" who seemed to be riding on George's coattails (and also because they both knew that they were growing out of the youthful themes that created the group). THE WORLD WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN ABOUT GEORGE MICHAEL IF ANDREW RIDGELELY WASN'T THERE TO BE HIS BEST FRIEND AND BRING HIM OUT OF HIS SHELL. They started out as songwriting partners (co-wrote Careless Whisper) and Andrew allowed his ego to take a hit when George outpaced him in that area. Give the man his flowers. NONE of George's classics would be known to the world without Andrew. If Andrew hadn't befriended George (when he was the new chubby kid - which Andrew ALONE volunteered to do when they were 11 or 12) the world would have missed out on so much fantastic music. Give that man his respect.

[@streettalk4thesoul]

[@kamalascrustysheets]

The first two albums Andrew and George co wrote. The first number one in the US was written by Andrew Ridgeley. The band name WHAM was Andrews idea. The early marketing was PURELY Andrew. He hounded A&R executives. I KNOW you have no idea what A&R is but without his daily knocking on doors and hounding people got Wham the success. No Andrew...NO WHAM and NO GEORGE MICHAEL
