Wham win Best British Group | BRIT Awards 1985

[@SabbRawr]

It is a pity there is no time machine, I was born in the 93s, and I envy those who went to concerts and caugh that wonderful era of Wham! and other cool bands! Now it’s hard to find such masterpieces and people like George. He was beautiful externally and internally, I love him, he is an ideal.

[@selina3733]

Same here except I was born in 2009 :(

[@shards.musickindofthat]

Definitely, I was born in ‘95 and I’d give anything to travel back in time to live those times ! And George was definitely one in a million , a legend !

[@gisselleverdinez3258]

Yes!! Completely agree. I was born in 98'. I would have loved to see them perform and be in their era.

[@hepradio3706]

Saw them in concert, 2nd row. George was amazing!

[@kimmiebrunke5229]

Wham was the first concert I ever went to. I was in middle school at the time.

[@PFCD]

Classic George Michael who never forgot to thank the fans! These were the days of real music as look at that lineup of nominees... unbelievable.

[@yoya4766]

Very few artists mention the fans/ punters. George was so gracious and kind. Most are like Andrew only care about themselves.

[@carlovincenzi4610]

Omg they won against Queen and U2...legends!!

[@dorarouzi]

The best era of music. George Michael , Bono and Freddie Mercury are all GIANTS!

[@marimusic3411]

People don’t appreciate it ! They have a good voice! Oh love here George Michael he look so good . I see this the first - award 😍😍

[@Dee-iy4ot]

bono !!! hAHA

[@sharon.d7291]

George looked so young, happy care free, excitable and so good looking. RIP George ♥️

[@shesslucky]

George Michael, the human Ken doll. A dashing smile and luscious golden locks.

[@TSpancer80]

And without any plastic surgery

[@Kitcat363]

I liked his look later. Dark hair and becoming a man.xx

[@penelopedewollaston7981]

Yes but his hair was dyed. Unlike Ken whose hair was painted on.

[@dorothyhodge985]

Andrew ridgeley was sharp and good looking as well. They had fun and remained friends, that's the main thing.

[@lisamader5270]

I didn't have George's pinups on my wall. I was an Andrew girl. :)

[@nailyamac]

Being so shy made George a more special musician. Look how shy he looked but actually he was the owner all that magic.

[@JC-nn4if]

Whaaaammmm!!!!!!! They so deserved the prize

[@tomtom4913]

Born in 73' growing up listening to these icons on the radio... magic... rip george...

[@elizabethgallacher6033]

What a time to win a Brit for best group, look at who they were up against U2, Queen you name it they were absolutely brilliant and the singer/songwriter George turned out to be is 2nd to none. RIP George best talent I ever had the pleasure of seeing xxx

[@user-pt5xq5rs1t]

Wham! deserved to win, and George Michael was absolutely gorgeous!❤

[@MsKim14]

Wham! definitely deserved the award! George's singing and songwriting skills were unparalleled. Not to mention how cute he always looked! Great to see clips of George and Andrew in the Wham! days....so young and happy.

[@jujuguy2323]

Music was great then. And george had one of the best voices ever

[@JannemanVaarwater]

The world ain't seen nothing yet! His solo-career was beyond good... It was fantastic!

[@barbaraeden1877]

Agreed.Wham era was commercially successful maybe,but in aspect of artistry,George reached epitome of beauty.And i think he is the most misunderstood and underappreciated artist of all time.He is simply the best❤️

I'm 30 years too late because when this was on,I was working ☹️ George is such a fine, good looking, best looking man I've ever seen in my 55 years.

[@CarelessWhisper727]

how young they looked. george still has grace, good looks, and a fabulous voice.

He’s passed away since but his music always lives on ...

Such a great variety of musicians and good groups. All of them are classic now.

[@kellyo8324]

Omg! George Michael was gorgeous!

[@AMSPAENGINEERINGPLTD]

George seemed so happy here.

[@queenietorres130]

Yes, George Michael was happy, even in the not so good times, depression and all, he never showed any sadness, that I remembered.

[@gbej1]

Wham was a huge part of my childhood

[@Lynneheal]

R.I.P to George Michael and also Rick from Status Quo who sadly died 2016

Love them forever

[@AjarnDeeTeesut]

Blimey. Watching this as George has passed and find Rick Parfitt giving out the award. RIP chaps.

[@TheRocksta]

John Ewen I thought the same thing. A morbid thought, but to think they died within a day of each other. But then, such is life. RIP

[@andrewburton7409]

John Ewen 1985 fast forward 2016 so ironic two more lives sadly lost x

[@granto6738]

John Ewen yes and Mike Smith who is reading 📖 the script sad 😔

[@lisamann4897]

I just cant watching GM. miss him so much ! wish i was dreaming !

[@marthesegrixti1351]

1984was a big year for george 👍👍

[@avyeris]

Well Wham! had released Make It Big in 84 which was a mad succes with legendary songs like Careless Whisper, Last Christmass and Everything She Wants (and other great ones like Freedom and Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go). Im not trying to say that Queen were not as great, it was just that Wham! had a season for the ages, that actually ended up defining their career and this is why they won, something that makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes when someone is in the zone, you just cant get them out of there. Well they broke up a little later so....

[@DeeDee-pl8se]

Where it all began 80s ..Wham! Forever you are loved George Michael!

[@Svetlana14.10.]

Джордж Майкл, ты наше солнышко! Ты в нашем сердце! Помним и любим! Талантливый, добрый, замечательный музыкант ! Слушаем твои песни и остались одни слёзы! Новый год и Рождество всегда с тобой!

[@michaelknight412]

going to miss you George Michael's .you were my mentor,your music and style.I always sing your songs ,you are never forgotten. Andrew, I still love your last album and I'm waiting for you to do another one.WHAM!

[@lauranarduzzi9377]

🤗 how sweet was George!! Nice with that white dress and the black tie. Then his hairstyle is beautiful. You left so early!

Interesting how Andrew asked Rick Parfit to stop as he was thanking people. Andrew so full of grace, as he is today.

[@ISPANOS2001]

WHAM ...BAMM...THANK YOU MAAAAM!!

[@auscent]

Thats how good music was. Nominees were legendary U2 and Queen.

[@ladyhock1954]

They were so adorable!

[@alessandrafrison7473]

Una serie di nominations pazzesca!!😱😱😍😍😍per me potevano vincere tutti, hanno invaso la mia infanzia di canzoni pazzesche, stupende, felicissima di aver potuto vivere gli anni '80, oggi mi rendo conto che è stato un privilegio

[@miageraghty5415]

i wanted queen AND wham! to win

[@joylayton3543]

wow. i love his music. never get tired of it.

[@Whammiethatgal]

Andrew is “Absolutely flawless!”

[@chuck275]

Ha Staus Quo "gave up" touring in 1985 😂 . Loved the Wham outfits, George went on to become a global star, someone iconic but here its really fun and nice to see him so young and almost bashful in getting that award

[@antonraphael2396]

Wham were riding high on the Crest of the wave in '85 with a huge fan base.. so it's not surprising.

[@AP-bo2pr]

LOOK A GM SO ADORABLE BLOND,,,OH LORD,,,,

[@MeganWhamGMfan]

Even tho I was born in 2005 I still really love wham!😍😍george and andy deserved the award

[@ladymay30]

Wait a minute: they won against Queen? :-)

[@SuzLa1]

Awards were at start of year, and Queen had a revival after their Live Aid performance in summer 1985. Queen won Outstanding Contribution Award at the Brits in 1990.

[@ivanbrocko]

What a year. All these bands have gone down in history permanently. 2014, 15, 16 ... No one remembers a single song.

[@zzz11666]

Wham beat out U2 and Queen :) They were all really good bands. It just goes to show that music was better in those days, imo. Nowadays if I see a nominees, I may only maybe like one out of them or none at all, and that the truly have talent.

Andrew was a sharp dresser. Not as good looking as Mr. Gorgeous George, but not bad at all. RIP Gorgeous George.

[@queenietorres130]

Yes, I can remember one time George referring to him as a fashion plate.

[@georgemour1806]

who is Gourgeos ??

[@tigressnsnow]

Andrew was definitely the good looking one and had the hutzpah. See his animal energy on Wogan when he walked on wearing a cowboy hat. Yum. He’s been living off Careless Whisper royalties for decades.

[@williamdrijver4141]

Parfitt and Rossi: not veterans but legends! (Not a particular fan of their music, but they're cool. Sad to see both Rick and George have passed away)

Does anyone know what an audience member shouted at them and who it was and why their faces suddenly seemed serious and sad? It looked like George's euphoric bubble was suddenly burst. Poor kid. I wonder if whatever was said was reported by journalists afterward.

[@tedsoriano136]

WHAM 👍

[@ljc6535]

So queen was in it and wham won ..as much as I loved wham back then and not so a queen fan apart from live aid ,I proabbly thought at the time yesss as loved Andrew and that pop music ,but now I think, they won over Queen .!! .

[@sparkandflame]

Not one cheer when they were announced with all the other groups in that section :O With U2 and Queen having the most cheers, ah I guess Wham appealed to the very young of that generation like so many groups today. Really lovely looking back

GREAT SONGS!
