| | |  | Keyword Search: Cascada | Home » Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | Bathroom escapades aside, there's no denying that George Michael has been responsible for some of the biggest party jams of the '80s and '90s. Have you ever noticed what happens to a room when "Faith" erupts from the speakers? Aside from the funk-fueled "Fastlove," the material from his most recent album, Older, is well and truly overshadowed here by the megahits from days gone by. The first disc starts off slow, with "Careless Whisper" and his remake of "I Can't Make You Love Me" the only real high points among otherwise bland ballads. It's disc 2 that exudes the essence of Michael, with "Fastlove," "Too Funky," and "Freedom 90" providing a nonstop dance-athon, and "I Want Your Sex" and "Faith" picking up the slack. The package also includes his rather unexciting (but hugely popular) duets with Queen and Elton John, his perfect pop pairing with Aretha Franklin, and two new tracks. Set aside some serious time for this one, folks. The hits don't stop. --Rebecca Wallwork | | | Product Details: | | | Audio CD Release Date:

 Very PleasedAug 09, 2010
I received my ordered product much faster than I ever anticipated and it was in excellent condition.
 Missing his hits with Wham!Jun 03, 2010
I would have given five stars to this collection of George Michael music if it had included some of his hits with the pop duo group, "Wham," from the 1980s like "Last Christmas" and "Freedom version" and others that I remember like "Wake me up before you go go." Just because he went solo doesn't mean he can forget those Wham years. He was really instrumental in making a Wham success. Maybe he couldn't get the rights to the music but his rendition of "Last Christmas" and his Wham songs are worth listening too.
During the Wham years, the music was mellow and shallow but his musical career matured after he went solo. His songs on this collection like "Praying for Time," "Freedom," "Careless Whisper," and his duets with Aretha Franklin and Sir Elton John and the song, "Somebody to Love" with Queen are fantastic but I still miss his Wham songs which would have earned five stars easy.

George sings like an angel even when he's talking nasty!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!Dec 12, 2009
The best of both worlds. Two CD's in one convenient package. One CD is for dancing, the other for listening. All his hit numbers: new as well as the older ones. If you are George Michael fan you have to have this!
