He was very good looking as a young man. For some reason just the way he claps his hands and dance, as in a lot of his videos and live on stage, is very charismatic

Maybe people *re-discover* the songs and realise they enjoyed them more than they thought, or to bring back memories
Do you think there could be a televised George Michael Tribute Concert, similar to the one for Freddie Mercury? I imagine many of the popstars who have expressed their condolences would do it... eg. Elton John, Duran Duran, Bryan Adams, Paul McCartney, Madonna and others... singing their cover picks of Wham/GM songs...

I would love to see Elton John singing. Dont let the sun go down on me with Andrew Ridgeley on guitar
Difficult one to answer - probably Different Corner. Takes me back to my youth and such a beautiful song. But as often happens with a death, I have been replaying my CDs and rediscovered so many songs of his that I haven't played in years.
Beautiful man, sadly missed.

Funny how music can take you right back to a certain occasion, even to how you felt on that particular occasion.”
Yes it really can can't it? And that particular track puts me right back in that car, in that street, that morning. I can feel the sun through the window and a feeling of expectation for the day ahead even though it was nothing particularly special.

Pretty damned hot as an older man too IMO. Pity I wouldn't have been his type. I was dissappointed when he came out I must admit.
