When Sony refused to release him from his contract he purposely made this video and he did not want to be in it. So he asked the top 6 super models at that time to be in the video and lip sinc, he was making a huge statement. He wanted to show that his music did not need him in it in order to sell music. This video represents a huge statement hence his "Freedom " from the producers. Thank you guys for doing this song!

Interesting, I wondered or thought it could have had to do with him finally coming out and lifting the burden of being in the closet, thus freedom. I don't believe he admitted he was gay for his previous songs, but thought people assumed he was and he finally was open. Often sexual orientation especially during the 90s was something very hidden if someone was gay.

Um George Michael was far from underrated. He sold over 100 million records in his career with Wham and as a solo artist. He also won and was nominated multiple times for American Music Awards, VMA's, Grammy's, Brit Awards and other awards during the 80's and early/mid 90's for singing, writing and producing. He's had multiple number 1 hits throughout his career, his first number 1 hit was "Faith" in 1987. He also had 3 more hits from the album of the same name, "Faith" that all hit number 1. He had 8 number one hits in America and 7 in the UK from his solo career and also when he was part of the duo "Wham" that split in 1986. He had number one hits with other popular well known artists like Elton John and Arethra Franklin. The last record of his to be in the Billboard top 100 was from the live album Symphonica. The song “Let Her Down Easy" from that album made it to #24 in the spring of 2014 on Billboards Adult Contemporary charts. His most popular and highest charting album was "Faith" which was the top selling album of 1988. George Michael received the Billboard Diamond Award for the "Faith" album and his total net worth before he died on Christmas 2016 was 200+ million dollars. So George Michael is far from underrated to anyone who grew up in the 80's and 90's like myself. It's kinda sad when I see people call extremely well known artists underrated because their too young(born in 96' or later) and didn't grow up when he was very popular. Sorry for the rant but you saying George Michael was underrated was one of the dumbest things I have heard in a while....✌

@@irelandevr4046 I grew up in the 80s and 90s don't think the comment was all that off. He was initially dismissed as a pretty boy, and is rarely mentioned in the same breath as Prince, Madonna and MJ when it comes to pop royalty (though he should be). He himself said that he was regarded as one of the top pop songwriters of the eighties but wanted his career to have longevity. I've read that he remained wildly popular in the UK and Europe but I'd agree that as far as the North American market went, he *was* underrated. A lot of eyes were opened to his vocal talent during the concert honouring Freddie Mercury (he was one of the only singers to be able to properly handle a Queen song) but to say he was universally revered throughout his career as much as he deserved to have been - totally debatable.

This song is about selling his soul to MTV. He felt like he sold out, so he came back with a different kind of music and told the industry to stick it and started making music on his terms. He burns the leather jacket he used to wear while shaking his ass in videos. Great imagery. This song has a good message as well. For people going into the industry, or life in general... you got to give what you take. He mentions in the song, "I knew which side my bread was buttered and I took the knife as well". Remember to give what you take or the life starts to unravel. He learned his lesson. That's why this is one of my favorite songs EVER. Oh, and it's called "Freedom 90" because his group, WHAM, previously released a song named "Freedom". A catchy pop tune. 90 is way better!

Lots of symbolism in this video. 90s iconic video. RIP George Michael.

I STILL break up when I recall his death, so I guess I still mourn him. I understand that his beloved sis passed away recently. Such a shame, a tragedy for their parents to bury two of their babies. May George and his sisters' memories be eternal. (Miss you, George.)

George was amazing. His version of Elton John's 'Don't let the sun go down on me' is amazing!

George Michael was most influenced by FREDDY MERCURY, ELTON JOHN and STEVIE WONDER, all of whom I know you like. You picked up on his voice -- he is an INCREDIBLE ballad singer. His soulfulness is off the charts. Back in 1988 or so, he did an amazing duet with Aretha Franklin, he's sung with Elton and Stevie, and sang as Freddie Mercury at the Queen tribute concert (Somebody to Love, astounding performance), and so much more. Some of my favourite songs: Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? Father Figure One More Try (AMAZING vocals in this!) Too Funky Praying for Time Outside Fastlove Kissing a Fool Careless Whisper Cowboys & Angels (It's called "Freedom! '90" because he did a song called Freedom with his band Wham!, back in 1995 -- very different! Pop-star song. And that's a lot of what he's singing about here, too, refusing to let the record company take over his sound.)

Yes!!! Listen to him sing "A Different Corner". He had an extraordinary voice. He was VERY underrated as a singer when he was still alive because his voice was truly amazing.

George was a freak of nature when it came to his vocals. He also was a producer of all his music. His talent for writing catchy pop tunes to sophisticated songs that had heavy R&B and Jazz tones was amazing. Although he had a small catalog of original music what he did put out was above and beyond the quality that a lot of prolific artists put out.This video is epic and will go down in history as Georges way of giving the middle finger to Sony. Interesting fact, I believe that this was the first time a black model was featured in a video.

This boy had some pipes! I am not sure if anyone mentioned in the comments that he wrote this song based on how his record company was treating him. It is very profound! Enjoy your videos!

He wrote this song when he was trying to get rid of an old image so he choose to not be in the video ...the jacket symbolized the old image so he burns it! “freedom”.....you should also listen to his song “Like Jesus to a child”

George Michael was a legend. IMO, the most romantic song was his Jesus to a child.

This song is 30 years old and still sounds great. I remember when the video came out - it really is a classic with the Supermodels of the era. RIP George.

Sony was angry with him for trying to change his “pretty boy” image. That’s what the whole song is about. That’s one of the reasons he didn’t appear in the video.

It was about rights to his own music and the fact that he couldn’t break contract for so long. “Gotta have some faith in my sound” was about him backing himself up. He didn’t come out properly for years, until the cottaging “scandal” 🙄 but of course he addressed it perfectly with the “Outside” song/video

He did a great duet with Aretha Franklin. You might enjoy that. "I Knew You Were Waiting". You two are awesome. Thanks for doing what you do.

Supermodel in the 90a had to do with being on the major major fashion mags (which only featured models back then , not just any celeb) and the elite runway shows. And the tens of thousands of dollars they commanded for appearances. Plus name recognition. It can’t be understood in today’s terms because the entire fashion industry and anybody-is-a-celeb culture has changed so dramatically.

@Jack Bauer I am a purist on supermodels, it was a select group of models at a specific time. Linda, Cindy, Naomi, Christie, Claudia and sometimes Elle. Even Tyra and Kate came on the scene a little later and don't quite fit the group in my mind.

I literally SHRIEKED when I saw the title to this video, I'm OBSESSED with George and this was the song that got me into his music! Yassssss

I am actually old enough to remember and they were influential NOTHING. They were on the covers of magazines, in make up commercials and music videos - like all models ever are. What was "groundbreaking" about these few broads was that they were paid like rockstars -and arrogant as hell - but that too only lasted for a few years - and that is all. None of them went to anything greater than modelling after 1995 and they were soon forgotten. The only thing they influenced is the generation of 1990's girls who were more anorexic than any generation before them. Or what great influence of these chicks on the society do you recall from the 90's, maybe I forgot about it?

cultmama cultmama i think you’re points are valid. Thank you for standing up for real accomplishments like helping people through science. I’d take Malala over anyone in the video. Modeling is fine and can be an extension of art but there is more to celebrate about courage and working to make things better, e.g. cure disease, educate those who’ve been denied, feed people, etc. I did read that Cindy Crawford was pursuing an engineering degree back in the day. And celebs who use their popularity to do good are laudable. And we all enjoy neat things to look at. But your original point is valid.

I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting George Michael and having him sign my CD. I also saw him in concert that same year and his performance was just Wow!! Such a kind soul truly a loss.

The power of the chorus, with that “Freedom!”, is so profoundly personal to the listener. And although is a different “freedom” than the one George Michael was singing about, you can tell that it rings true to the Twins as well. At the end, we all want to hold on to our truth, to our freedom, what’s more universal than that?

Omg I’m old... they didn’t know who George Michaels was? 😂 all of those ladies are very famous models and he refused to be in videos due to he was suing them at the time... this is amazing even 30 years later.. he blew up his jacket and guitar he used in first album to show he was his own man...

"Father Figure" for sure is a great song, "faith," "I want your sex," and "monkey," are all good songs but let us not forget his early years in WHAM with "wake me up before you go" oh and his song with Aretha Franklin, "I knew you were waiting."

George Michael, "One More Try" will not disappoint especially since you love the sound of raw singing and high notes. Chills every time I hear it.

You kinda have to react to “Faith” by George Michael now; it was a GIGANTIC hit video, and as many have mentioned below, the iconic props (his jacket, guitar, and juke box) are symbolically burned and exploded in Freedom 90 (his earlier duo, Wham!, had a song called Freedom in the mid 80s). Luckily for everyone, the most iconic prop from the Faith video, George Michael’s butt in tight jeans, is not destroyed lol.
