1. I'm not crazy about the song, but I much prefer this George Michael's
appearance to the one with the gallon of hairspray. He's aging beautifully. :)

2. He never needed the Autotune back in the good old days

And the songs were a lot better.

3. Oh, I totally agree with that.
But on a more shallow level, I've always thought he was a delicious looking man. :)

4. Hmm
I would really like to hear this song unadorned. I have a feeling the triple-track autotune stuff was chosen because the song isn't "pop" enuff. It's a complicated tune and shows to me that Mr. Michael is continuing to grow as a composer - unfortunately growing in a way that doesn't appeal to the boppers.

i'm in.

i like this.

I think he's auto tune here for effect. I think it's layered with a real vocal track.
I think that's what I hear.

He's still got it.


Is he releasing a new album?
I hope he has new songs. He's a wonderful singer and performer, but I wanna hear his own songs.

Good cover, though.

At the Wembley concert in honor of Freddie Mercury - what a set of pipes!

10. ugh, autotune sucks, his voice is beautiful, don't mess with it
my favorite song by him is the cover of "Don't Let the Sun go down on me" with Sir Elton, what a beautiful voice!

11. Mr. Roboto, not so hot-o
He's got a great voice. I don't know why he'd choose to use the Autotune effect throughout a whole song.
