The Best Of Wham!: If You Were There... - Wham! Reviews

At Club Tropicana drinks are free. Wham the greatest hits collection is entitled, If You Were There, The Best of Wham. It's one of my feel good CD's, awfully tacky and fun but great to sing along to. It was released in 1997 and got to number 4 on the UK charts. Wham were a duo made up of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. ...  Read the complete review

Why do I associate Wham these days with women aged thirty plus, done up in too much make-up, dancing round handbags to 'Wake Me Up.' It is a sad image to have but alas, Wham been confined to cheesy discos and now only get a whoop of joy from Sharons and Michelles, as the 'jitterbug' transports them back to their youth. This album will no doubt ...  Read the complete review

I was a huge Wham fan back in the day and my first album I ever bought was Freedom. I was not so fanned up though that I felt suicidal when they split up but when I saw this album a few years ago I thought I had to buy it to relive my teenage years and see if I still liked all the songs. Here is the playlist: 1. If you were ...  Read the complete review

WHO WERE WHAM? ------------------------------ Lasting a mere three and a half years between November 1982 and June 1986, they were a duo consisting of Andrew Ridgeley and someone called George Michael. Ably assisted by Pepsi and Shirley on backing vocals, David Austin (keyboards) and Deon Estus (bass) they scored ten top ten hits during ...  Read the complete review

I can’t really say that I was a big Wham! Fan when they were originally around – I mean I was 4 years old when they released Young Guns in 1982! However, Wham! songs always seem to turn at most of the night-clubs I go to (I know what you’re all thinking – what sad, cheesy, places does he go to….). So ...  Read the complete review

I own a nice little hairbrush and a nice big mirror that I can sing infront of. I have a lovely little CD player that has great volume on it too so it can drown out my voice because I cant sing. Yes you guessed I love my music. I have a thing about greatest hits albums, I seem to collect them. Some people go for stamps well I love ...  Read the complete review

On your average best of album there'll be at least a couple of songs that you don't remember being big hits the first time round. 'If you were there' is a huge exception to this rule.. A class act all the way through - every track is a winner. The highlights for me have got to be 'Freedom' and 'Edge of Heaven', ...  Read the complete review

Technically I shouldn’t love this album THIS much, I was only around 5 when Wham! were in their hey-day but that doesn’t seem to stop me gleefully singing along to pretty much every word on this album. There are all the hits from Club Tropicana to Wake me up before you Go-go and they still sound great now. This is cheesy ...  Read the complete review

Wham, for me they were the 80's and they still continue to be ultimate in cool!! Wham, comprising George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley wore the most dodgy clothing ever ( a joke supposedly - although we never quite got it, because it was andrew and george we thought they were real snazzy dressers!)and they sung of things like club tropicana ...  Read the complete review

Fun and sunshine there's enough for everyone. Wham Bam I am a man, well actually I'm a woman and I have to totally agree with clicclac that this album is the best! If the 80's were your era this is the must have album. Every track brings back some memory of schooldays, college days, friends, boyfriends, crushes and ...  Read the complete review

The best of Wham! truly is the best. If like me you like nothing better than singing along to your favourite tunes and prancing wildly around your flat then you must buy this albulm. For a start the lyrics are fantastic for example in Wham rap (a true lyrical masterpiece) 'Hey everybody take a look at me, I've got street ...  Read the complete review
