His Last Christmas :-(
fupp 2016
Guess what he sang at the pearly gates? ‘I Knew You Were Waiting For Me.’ RIP.
Everything She Wants is one of my all times favourites.
I also believe “You utter cock piss bastards.” should be acknowledged as the greatest tweet of all time.
R.I.P.
For all of his wealth and fame there always seemed to be something humble, decent and vulnerable about him and I absolutely loved the bones of him for it.
A brilliant talent taken far too soon.
RIP George.
A great artist and icon
C’mere
53 is no age
Was something up?
Depends who you believe but sure what’s the sense in speculating?
He’s gone, let him rest in peace.
I mean that in general Frilly, it’s not aimed at you.
Yet could we turn the years again, 25
And call those exiles as they were,
In all their loneliness and pain
You’d cry ‘Some woman’s yellow hair
Has maddened every mother’s son’:
They weighed so lightly what they gave, 30
But let them be, they’re dead and gone,
They’re with O’Leary in the gr
Tell ya what Bert
I’ll be lay’vin the quality street alone
Not really sure what you mean by that but sound.
Making sure I don’t take a heart attack before I’m 60
Ah, now I get ya, yep makes you think alright.
53 is a terrible tragedy for the lad’s family and friends
As it would for any of us
Ah come on Frilly, Quality Street how are ya.
A fantastic song-writer, RIP George.
ah feck
have plenty of memories, good (shuffle+spincycle slobbering) and bad (watching in from the sidelines like the last player to be picked for 5-a-side) of Careless Whisper at the niteclub just outside the town….thanks George
Yet another one I’d sworn I’d go to see live if the chance came around :(
Any of ye seen him sing live?
Saw him a number of times, always brilliant, his 25 Live gig in The Point was a huge big party, he was a fantastic entertainer.
Was dragged to the Point to see him in
’07, by the wife. Amazed at what a brilliant performer he was. Great show packed with great songs. RIP George.
Not an huge fan (apart from the shift to Careless Whispers at the Youth Club disco), but I loved ‘Let’s Go Outside’ both as a track and his comeback after the LA incident and subsequent bad press. A fearless performer, no doubt about it. RIP.
Good to hear you weren’t a huge fan.
Hated Wham, but, I’ll give this for them. When the Miners’ Strike was happening in England and Wales, Wham raised funds for the striking miners. Fair play.
Good to hear you hated Wham
When I was 14 I hated Wham too. I hated A-ha, Curiosity etc. We teenage girls are very loyal to our own band and it’s our duty to hate the opposition. It’s the same as not being allowed to like Liverpool and Man U. Of course, no longer being 14, I appreciate Wham for the stupendous popstrels they were and George for being a fantastic singer/songwriter.
Freedom 90 is one of the greatest pop songs in history with a video to match.
G’luck george

If you listen to the lyrics now, they read like George’s “coming out” song.
“But, today, the way I play the game is not the same;
No way.
Think I’m gonna get myself happy.
I think there’s something you should know.
I think it’s time I told you so.
There’s something deep inside of me.
There’s someone else I’ve got to be.
Take back your picture in a frame.
Take back your singing in the rain.
I just hope you understand.
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man”
Agreed it’s a superb song
2016 as a peace offering I offer up LJG and other non funny Irish web celebs for you to take.
I’ll throw in Lucy Kennedy and Nicky Byrne.
Think of it as a Christmas bonus, if you will.
Typical.
Status Quo robbed right at the end again.
That said, I loved George Michael. He gave a fiddlers and had talent. And class.
“Great music, stood up to bigotry & when his Mum died he held a free concert for the NHS nurses. Pure class. RIP George Michael”

Did they call a wham-bulance?
A brilliant singer, Listen Without Prejudice is the best album of the 1990s
