Ken, I saw George on this tour at MSG. Oddly he did a ton of covers like Now That We Found Love and on and on lol. It was fantastic. He did this song but in the verses stayed within himself. Yes, he did the aerobics but the tone of the song was more heavy hearted, and that’s appealing to me. What I find funny is I grew up a full on metal head but loved people like George, And many more. It’s funny that you hit on them as our earlier influences I.e. Foreigner, Purple, anything Dio are the same. I think it’s cool that you show you’re cultured musically. I won’t be pigeonholed in to one thing and I’m glad you are the same.

Scott, I believe this was his Cover to Cover tour ( wish I had been there) he launched so his fans could have something to look forward to. He refused to allow Sony to make more money off his new music and there fore he decided to perform a concert of covers. Personally I think he was the Master of covers. he took all the songs to another level. His voice and his delivery was like no others. I love him so much!

@@mcflotty That is a wonderful song. But one is what amazed me and maybe influenced into George's vocals/style/music/ the most with absolute originality and sound of the voice was "Hand to Mouth". There is so much extensive overbreath ...I think it could be a record holder in this category. In fact, I lived in USSR at thet time, we knew not much about western music, and this was something head-turning. I should confess that at start I thought it was low female vocal, as with whispering it is quite hard to tell what is going on - I did not know about George Michael..he wasn't in disco hits and not in radio, so that was discovered. And that's how I started to sing. And I should confess again - I wanted to sound like him because I felt I have similar texture in voice, but I lack language, feel, knowledge... so George taught me that all through endless singing his songs from both albums, wham repertoire... new songs. Hand to Mouth is something not from here... I don't know how people like George come up with such music and sound. It's a mystery for me.

When you put together the whole package, the delivery, the texture, the intonation, the perfect pitch, and the ability to reach those he's singing to, no one...NO ONE...comes near this man, regardless of how much they think they might. This is a whole different level of vocal prowess and it will forever remain untouched. Music lost an original, a once-in-a-lifetime talent, an icon. There will NEVER be another George Michael.

Whenever George sang a duet he never tried to take the spotlight off the other singer. Sometimes George’s natural talented just outshined the other performer. George was such a perfectionist and he was always pitch perfect no matter who he sang with I would imagine they put a little more effort into their performance to match George’s natural ability. George was the ultimate performer and song writer. What a talent he was.

George stated in an interview that anything that you'd ever want to know about him is all in his songs. He was singing his life story. I suffer from Severe Chronic Spinal Pain amongst other health issues and the majority of my life has been a living hell. Listening to George calms me when having exceptionally bad days which is better than reaching for more meds straight off. He has been my constant companion since the start of his career which was when I was injured. He is singing in the background right now as I'm having another bad day. It's so comforting to have George help me through my life journey. If only he could "Heal The Pain"!

George is one of the most soulful live singers of the last few generations. His range, connection to song and ability to convey the story is unparalleled.

There is no other artist that I have ever encountered who can pronunciate the way George did whilst also performing on stage. He was rarity amongst vocalists and no-one can hold a match to his natural born talent.

It's Eltons song. He doesn't have to sell himself on anything. He and George complimented each other's talents. I didn't view it as a competition. Two great talents coming together for a celebration of song is how I hear it. When George introduced Elton, it was out of respect and admiration.

George Michael's vocals on this song is simply angelic.

What an AMAZING collaboration, George Michael is magical! Thank you for doing this one!

George wrote most of his songs, played almost all instruments in his albums… an absolute legend….. he never compromised on the output whether it was his song or someone else’s and that’s why he was able to create magic even on covers…

CALL 'EM LIKE YA HEAR 'EM, KEN! MAKE NO APOLOGIES AS YOU ARE THE MASTER!

I think it worked perfectly. Together, they played off each other like it was supposed to happen.

Ken, You are awesome, Man. Seriously. Every word and every way you explain George's singing is what I've been saying since I was 12 years old. He was powerfully phenomenal and his range and was spot on! He did it at Live aid and he did it again years later. That man was born to sing and for any private aliens he may have had, he knew it. On that stage he lit up because that was who he was. Thank you for expressing it! ;)

I appreciate what you were communicating about being in the moment of the song to transmit a great performance. I always felt like Elton kinda “phoned this one in” even though an Elton phone-in is still pretty darn good. I always thought that George being a consummate professional and perfectionist was really pulling out all the stops to do his very best to pay respect to the song and Elton and the audience. George knew it could be an iconic performance and he put in the work.

George was maybe the most talented pop singer of his generation. I miss him...

I get I’ve come into this late.. like 3 yrs late.. but I need to comment. GM went up simply because he was matching Elton’s energy. He needed to.. if he didn’t, this song would have been mediocre. Matching Elton’s energy is what I believe, a true collaboration is all about. GM.. God love him, made this song the legendary hit that it is. He knew when to be his true authentic self and he knew when he needed to go hard to match Elton’s vibe. This is why this is one of the greatest collabs of all time. It’s because of George Michael. Legend! Can’t believe this is live. Just perfect ❤️

Excellent analysis I still did not get over George's death, thanks for remembering it, and showing how big it was. Greetings from Argentina.

Exactly as you say, George Michael sings to you personally. Not only one song, but the whole concert. Even in a big stadium it's very intimate. Because of that I fell in love with him when I joined my sister to a concert. So few days later we went again and a few months later once again. I compared it with a concert of Robby Williams who was on stage to be cheered at. George Michael is on stage to sing for you.

George Michael is just so unfairly left out of most Best Male Singer lists nowadays... We all remember Freddie, but George was a powerhouse as well! Love this video, love this reaction, keep up the quality content Ken!

Even though he lost, walking outside, down the stairs of the court house, he stopped at the podium and blasted them again and the judge. So that is when they realized they weren’t shutting him up. So of course now, Sony is going to “ RELEASE” him from his slave contract, because having a trouble maker bug mouth mega star that made them $150 Million off his first few years with them, he’s just not worth keeping around. Right. He is the same guy with something important to say as to why you landed in court in the first place… he put you there. But now all the sudden SONY is going to let him out of his contract because they can’t have the embarrassment! Then why didn’t you let him out of his contract when he asked You said no ! He said fine taking you to court. Because they needed to show him who was the boss, but it didn’t work! After that , that was pretty much it for any kind of umm, let’s say turning back for compromise because they also , executives of Sony America. Apparently made homophobic slurs to him. So GM didn’t give a shxt either way he wasn’t going to be their career slave especially now! So they let him out if his contract of course for a price. Which they were also banking on that he wouldn’t have it, but he did. Because it’s never been about the money with GM. If he would have followed suit of most that sign they overspend, and then they are even more saturated of being being owned by the industry. Not him! But they still since they are the media, also hindered his career. Starting with the California set up!

You said exactly what I've felt since I was a kid. I heard george start the song, Eltons song, then Elton came in and it was a completely different feel. Far less feeling in my opinion. Which is completely fine I mean Elton can do whatever the hell he wants to do and it still sounds great, it still is great, he is great, but George brought heart to the song because it means maybe a little bit more to him than it does Elton at this point. that was maybe written at a point in elton's life that he doesn't relate to so much at the moment he's singing it in this video. George Michael seems to have not only the feeling behind it but an extreme appreciation for the song and a connection to the lyrics and it's evident in his singing.

Classic .at the time I remember thinking this needed to happen with these 2 and when it did.wow

You saw this differently than I did. I didn’t see a competition. I saw Elton being Elton....he’s always been theatrical....he’s a diva, he’s admitted that. George, I was just enjoying his soul. I love it when he goes off. I see a lot of respect there between the two of them.

Awesome! George Michael is my favorite male vocalist of all time. I know, not the most technical of course but just the emotion and tone of his voice really touches a lot of people.

And they told this guy (GM) That he couldnt sing when he was a kid. So then he wrote Careless Whisperer, then things happend. Then he became the best singer, songeriter and preformer the world has ever seen! :D

Ken, why do you think George Michael isnt getting the recognition he deserves? Arguably the best singer of his generation

Love your description of George's voice sounding "haunting". It does on many of his songs.

I never tought of that but you are absolutely right. It was a big diffrence in singing for me once you pointed it out !

Brass Knuckles That's a good thing.

Great assessment👍 Elton sang the song. Michael let the song sing through him. If that makes sense.

@Ronnda Munshower I felt it completely the other way around. Elton just sung the lyrics but George made us feel the words and the meaning. I love both artists so I'm not showing bias but just explaining how I felt it.

If you love George Michael versions of songs, I'd have to say "Somebody to Love" at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert was amazing. It was by far the best performance, and best sung version, of all the singers they had that day.
