Who else agrees LWP is his best album?

the only song that's not really that great is cowboys and angels. it's pretty underwhelming especially compared to the rest. but it's still not bad. it kind of fits Older better rather than LWP. the best song from this album is obviously praying for time but then waiting is a close second. so good

My favorite album in the World

This album is my absolute favorite album in the whole world. It helped me through a hard time and period in my life, and George’s lyrics made me feel less alone. Confused, humiliated, and lost. I always come back to it. I bought the exclusive vinyl edition when it came out a few years ago, and today my wife came home with a mint copy of the CD, so now my collection is complete. Damn, we’ve smoked a lot of joints and had so many amazing conversations with this album playing in the background.

George only got better with age, and Patience is right on the heels of this album, but I truly believe this is his absolute magnum opus.

What do the rest of you think about Older? And how many versions/editions of the album do you own?

I've been looking to see the general consensus between the two, personally I'm only familiar with the standard edition of Twenty Five as it's the only one I have so far, what does the community by and large think? Closest thing I've found for a comparison between the two is a Steve Hoffman Forums thread from Twenty Five's release.

To give my two cents, I've been loving the latter, but am disappointed by the lack of songs from Songs from The Last Century and the overabundance of songs from Patience (as in, 13 songs, the whole album give or take). Still, the track listing is nice and admittedly it has convinced me to buy the album so, eh.

George and Stevie Wonder

I love the fact the George and Stevie had a special friendship. George said that he liked to cover Stevie’s songs because they were the right pitch for him and were also brilliant.

Wake me up before you go go. Video backing singers

Who are the two girls on the left in the video for Wake me up before you Go Go. Obviously the two on the right are Pepsi and Shirley. Were the two on the left actual singers for the band at some point or were they just actors for the video? I have always wondered who they are.

Whenever I listen to Outside, A Moment With You, or As, I feel like they are the only true glimpse we have into what kind of sound George was taking his own music at the turn of the century. It genuinely is a pity that in 1999, as opposed to releasing an original album spring boarding off the sound of the aforementioned tracks, he chose to do an album of covers instead. Like LWP, to include a few covers wouldnt have been an issue and probably a smarter choice.

Estate Approved Biographies?

Hi Lovelies!

I have been a fan of George Michael for 4 years. In this time, I have engaged in his work, social media and fanpages such as this one discussing him as an artist. What I'm curious to know is if there is any official biographical media about him that has been approved by him or his estate posthumously.

Thank you for the help!!

(I've watched documentaries, especially the one made about last Christmas that was released in 2025 which involved Andrew Ridgeley! I've also seen interviews by David Austin and other figures in his life musically. I'm more thinking about writing, if that helps condense my question. Sorry if it doesn't! 😭😭)

Madison Square Garden 1991 full video!

I was shocked to find someone had uploaded the full Madison Square Garden 1991 C2C show in great quality last year and remarkably it's still up!

Arguably one of his finest live performances with terrific versions of Mother's Pride, Waiting for That Day, They Won't Go, acoustic Freedom 84 and lots more (setlist here)

Note: though the description says October 25, 1991, it's actually the October 26 show (as George says it's Saturday and references the performance from the previous night).

So see/grab it before it disappears.

So I've seen some old news and article here and there about A possible WHAM reunion in early 2010s but George's manager said no or something

Would you think it could've happened actually, I think it would've been amazing if GM ended his Career with Andrew in A reunion tour

“Kissing a Fool” reimagined as a ‘dance club’ track. This is a tribute / cover video, made from scratch in my home studio. Images of George Michael throughout are from a live performance of the song. Thanks 🙏 to everyone who gave me positive feedback on the draft version of the video! I’m curious, is there a living performer who you’d like to see do this kind of dance version of “Kissing a Fool”? #GeorgeMichael #Faith
