Yes, few can reach those high notes with such intensity and I knew George could pull it off. A duet that he does with Elton John will also give you goosebumps. It's Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" - I think is the title. It is an amazing performance - check it out.

George and Freddie....... you are both so very missed and so very loved. Your voices will be heard through the ages. RIP gentlemen: thank you both for enriching our lives and leaving us with so much amazing music. Thank you for the memories. You are now singing together .......accompanied by Angels up there. How lucky they are!!🦋❣️🙏🦋❣️🙏

This has GOT to be among the all time 'Must watch' videos in youtube history! GM totally killed it with his powerful rendition. OMG! No matter how many times I watched this I still get goosebumps. GM looked at Roger Taylor with respect many times during the song to acknowledge his excellent Drumming and to let Roger set the pace for this stunning song written by the amazing Freddie. GM made Adam Lambert looked so weird now after we see this video. NO doubt Adam is a fine singer and an amazing performer...but only GM with his strong stage presence, breath taking Vocal and also his equally brilliant song writing talent is worthy to sing Freddie's songs.

Definitely one of his greatest live vocal performances of his entire career. I still get shivers listening to this.

This is even sadder now that George is gone

What makes this great is he sang for himself and not to imitate Freddy. He knew his limits and that is what seperates good singers from great singers is understanding every extent of your vocal range. You see lpts of people attempt to go above their vocals to match an original piece but make it sound bad. If you just sing in the way you know amd yhe vocal ranges in which you know you can hit itll always make for a great song/performance.

This performance still gives me chills even after almost 30 years. Having been a fan of Queen, since their 1st album, there was no one on the 🌍 that could have sung this song and honored Freddy’s memory other than George Michael. What a shame the world lost these two towering talents. Who else would have wanted to see them sing a duet, or harmonize on Bohemian Rhapsody? Oh, to have been at Wembley that night…God rest your souls.

That's the truth. He was a charming, kind and generous person, in addition to having the voice of an angel. Freddie also felt he had to "protect" his mother. Apparently, she knew anyway, and accepted him just as he was. There's a good interview with her online somewhere. But regardless, the real wrong is that George Michael was ever shamed for who he was. I hope we have left those days behind forever. Such an untimely death for this beautiful artist. What a voice and talent.
