George Michael (born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963) is an English Greek-Cypriot pop singer/songwriter. Michael began his career by forming a band called The Executive together with his best friend Andrew Ridgeley, a fellow pupil at Bushey Meads School, though it did not survive for long.
It wasn’t until he formed the duo Wham! together again with Ridgeley in 1981 that the success came for the band. Their first album, Fantastic!, was an instant success, and within a year they had released their classic debut single, Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do), while their second single, Young Guns (Go For It), became the first in a string of Top 10 hits in the UK singles chart. They were rapidly followed by titles such as Bad Boys, Club Tropicana, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Freedom, Last Christmas/Everything She Wants, I’m Your Man and a second album, Make It Big. George also sang on the original Band Aid recording of Do They Know It’s Christmas and donated the profits from Last Christmas/Everything She Wants to the charity.
With the success of his solo releases Careless Whisper (1984) and A Different Corner (1986) stories of an impending Wham! split intensified, and Wham! duly separated in the summer of 1986 after a farewell single, The Edge Of Heaven and album, plus a sell-out concert at Wembley Stadium.

I hate the fact that people choose to comment crap on artists they don't like. If you don't like it then don't bloody go on the page! We all have our own musical tastes and opinions, Last.fm is about bringing everyone together to discover new music. It's not a slagging match where people have nothing better to do with their time than mouth off about one artist they just don't happen to like. As for his sexuality, you obviously have a problem with homosexuals so thankyou for demonstrating your immaturity to us.

I was almost going to respond properly to that goremancer, but I reckon you've made a big enough fool out of yourself that I don't have to even bother! You're a close minded, complete idiot, in short.

FAGGOT!!!! his dad probably did him in the ass and told him that that was normal hetro sex.... he shouldnt even be allowed to sing cos he's so gay...He is not "A pop singer with talent in abundance. A rarity in this day and age." , lewis_mufc .., it's so obvious that all of the people that listen to him are either gay or women..... He has no talent whatsoever ... his greatest talent is probably jacking off to his dad's picture.... and people do not pay to see shit like that anymore. For e.g. "lewis_mufc" what sort of name is that??? no offense but it so brutally faggish.... and this faggot here: "UWOtorontoboy " what sort of name is that???? sounds like the name of a gay club...... on the other hand, "ReformatMe" is much more normal because he made a much more normal comment on this fag...

I love George Michael and had a huge little girl crush on him in the 80s (before he came out as a gay man). He still makes me swoon.
