How good was the George Michael show? I PAID to buy one of his newer albums from itunes today, that's how good. The personal high point for me was when he sang "A different corner" because I didn't expect him to do that one and that's a personal favorite. During the first half I was a little disappointed that the show, as spectacular as it was, wasn't more homoerotic, but right about the time he busted out the cop outfit to sing "Outside" I was satisfied. He was really charming and loose, and he's still got the chops. He has some seriously loyal fans because he sang all these club-type songs I wasn't familiar with and the crowd got totally stoked. I loved it all, but DP was pretty disturbed by the cover of "Roxanne". I just pretended it wasn't happening. We both agreed that he phoned in "Careless Whisper" during the encore. Actually, it was more like he faxed in a picture of a phone. But he wrote that song when he was sixteen, so I can't blame him.
Fun George Michael facts: his real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou and he's Jewish!
Such a nice Greek Jewish boy is he.

ReplyDeleteActually, that new Adam Sandler movie "Don't Mess with the Zohan" is loosely based off of his life. Or so David Paul told me.

I believe I said The Zohan was based on his loose life. But I won't begrudge details.
ReplyDeleteNow that i think about it, I belive you said,
