I have loved George Michael ever since his days in Wham. I worshipped both him and Andrew Ridgeley, of course, never realising for one moment that beautiful Georgie was gay. But now that he’s come out, I respect him even more and I must say being gay suits him right down to the ground!! I have a number of his old albums, which are now sadly knackered due to being overplayed on a bad eighties cassette recorder. So when Ladies and Gentlemen (the best of George Michael) was released a couple of years ago, I went straight out and purchased it. The album, in one word, is brilliant. All his best songs are featured and are divided into two CDs: 1) ...  Read the complete review

This is a really fun double cd it has the more up beat songs on disc2 and the slower smooth songs on disc1 . I think the song i listen to most on disc 1 is possibly "praying for time"which is an absolute classic but doesn't get much radio airtime i think he wrote it for someone close to him who had a terminal illness but not sure,this goes with other well known classics like father figure,don't let the sun go down on me, careless whisper and more. On the second cd there is great up beat songs like"I knew you waiting for me" "freedom" and many more. I think "killer/papa was a rollin stone" is my favourite on that one probably ...  Read the complete review

OK he may have had is share of the press in this part of the century but one thing for sure is he knows how to write music and to sing music. First of all what a voice he has got, right from the start of the album with careless whisper to near the end with one i had never hard before but still sends a shiver done me spine when i hear it. It is the song "One more try", his voice just glides up to the high notes like it was the easiest thing in the world, but being a singer I can assure you it isn't. All throughout the album, it is so easy to listen to, you can just fall asleep and go in a daze and also in every song it seems like he has ...  Read the complete review

This double CD of George Michael’s greatest hits is split into two sections: one CD is a collection of ballads; the other CD is contains dance and pop songs. In the ballads CD, standout tracks include ‘Jesus To A Child’, Michael’s first big solo hit ‘Careless Whisper’ and the tender ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’. The only flat moments come with the duet with Elton John and in ‘Praying For Time’. In the dance CD, standout are the funky disco ‘Outside’, the ‘Fastlove’, ‘Star People 97’ and the dramatic ‘Killer/Papa Was A Rolling Stone’, with ...  Read the complete review

Two CDs in this amazing best of - for the heart and for the feet. Both are stunning, a mix of old and new George Michael songs with some pretty decent covers thrown in for good measure. Most of the big singles are on there including Faith, Careless Whisper and Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. Also included are some of George's recent duets with artists such as Mary J Blige. If you've ever sang along to George at a disco then you'll love for the feet, if you've got a romantic bone in your body you'll adore for the heart. Something for everyone and a real winner.  Read the complete review
