Ok let me guess, you lost your virgin to that song and you only lasted 5 seconds, and the girl got so angry she slapped you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be distracted by the jacket, look at the mic technique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be distracted by the jacket, look at the mic technique I liked that post, despite not liking the song, or Queen, or the jacket or the mic technique or that type of music. But I do agree that GM was pretty good at what he did and had a lot of talent. He was a pretty good musician. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The audience can relate to him and he gives them hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2018 Sure, George Michael could sing. Still hate that whole style/era/genre, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a harsh marker if you're holding them in equal contempt? Joe Satriani can play guitar 'better' than Neil Young. George Michael could sing 'better' than Bob Dylan. That has no bearing on what I like to listen to. Cultural things matter. GM came out of Wham! His appeal was to teenage girls and gay men. I hated the whole thing. I recognise the technical skill in making that sort of music, but Careless Whisper was never going to mean a damn thing to me. Whereas, say (randomly) 'Meet Me On The Corner' by Lindisfarne, did. It's tribal. Edited January 7, 2018 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas, say (randomly) 'Meet Me On The Corner' by Lindisfarne, did. It's tribal. Sure. I think (in my world) that someone who is talented and does what they want to do, makes music they want to make, comes much higher up the scale than someone who basically has no talent and makes generic tat. GM could play multiple instruments, sing well, write, and was apparently a really, really, nice bloke with it. I find it hard to scorn or condemn him or (most of) his music, even though it's not the sort of thing I'd choose to listen to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
