This is such a beautiful song. When he came out singing this I sat here watching him, I started to cry than when they showed Paula she was also crying. I thought wow! I had goosebumps. George Michael is amazing that night he did have a cold but it didn’t matter he still sang awesome! Love u.
Funny that with a cold he’s still better than most singers on their best day. If this is what he considers a poor performance I’d love to see a great performance, lol.
This is phenomenally good, I just wish he would release a live version of this song. I have seen him in concert 3 times and he’s done this live twice, plus this and the unplugged version all sound better than the studio version’s he’s released. It has way more emotion, more inflection and his voice is center stage whereas on Listen… and on the hits versions his voice is in the background. Anyway, this was an incredible performance, he is unbelievably gifted
I saw him in Toronto, a couple of weeks ago. Awsome experience!!!! It’s not everyday you see an ICON like George. Also, I have been to alot of concrts, but I have never seen stage grapphics like that night. An artist’s dream.
saw him in Seattle, and he was TONS better live than here–and he’s not too bad here! If you have a chance to see him live this year, i have 2 words: DO IT!
George, please come back and resume your career… it’s been too long since we’ve had a true artist/vocalist/songwriter to enjoy. You are missed and sooooo appreciated!!!!!

George Michael said he was disgusted by this performance. He said he had a cold.

What’s with those glasses…makes him look older than he is
45 is a prime age and he should be smoking hot…hot..hot! Not with old granny glasses.
