Makes me soft Review ofLadies And Gentlemen (The Best Of George Michael) - George Michaelby
nicanddarrell
Advantages: There are more classic tracks than you remember Disadvantages: Just a couple not to my taste
Sometimes when I want to sit and read a lot of music I like does not create the right atmosphere to relax and get lost in the latest novel of choice, so last night I had a really good rake through my CD collection and came across this double CD which I had criminally overlooked for probably as long as I have owned it. I put it on, and I have to say that it is a complete change from the rock based music I prefer, but I forgot just how good this album ...

Advantages: Some good tracks Disadvantages: Some dreadful dirges
...George. To listen to his Ladies and Gentlemen retrospective you see a very quick decline from strong commercial post-Wham! To some frankly dire boring songs devoid of anything remotely melodic.
Indeed I would have to say that CD 1in this compilation is strictly for the fans, the big unquestioning fans at that. As half of Wham! George ploughed a deep furrow of sexuality based on teen idolatory. Whilst some of his solo work still had that ethic ...

A man of convenience Review ofLadies And Gentlemen (The Best Of George Michael) - George Michaelby
pinknails
Advantages: the 2nd cd Disadvantages: a few fillers on the 1st cd
With 11 British No.1 singles, six No.1 albums, worldwide record sales of over 67 million and numerous accolades, a greatest hits compilation was not only long overdue but also ardently awaited. Fortunately, it is all worth it.
I wouldn’t describe myself as a George Michael fanatic but with hits like these his talent and popularity is indisputable. Who else would turn charges of lewd conduct after being arrested by Los Angeles police in a ...

Advantages: Great value for money Disadvantages: Some better material has been missed out
I bought this album on double cassette the week it was released in 1998 on the Sony label; George needed to finish his contract off somehow.
It cost me £9.99. However the CD is now £9.99 in HMV. The cover mainly consists of album sleeves but there is a beautiful shot of George and his dog. She's looking suitably bored!
I love the album title as it also hints at his past bi-sexuality. It's very cheeky, which is typical of George. One cassette ...

Advantages: very very good, easy to listen to Disadvantages: when the cd ends!!!!
Want to chill out?
Fancy a quiet night in with your loved one, with a bottle of wine, soft lights and music?
Then this is the album you should be listening to. "Ladies and Gentleman" is not your usual "best of" album that most artists churn out as when the coffers start to get a little low. Having said, George Michael isn't exactly your normal average everyday recording artist. Gone is the big quiff a-la Wham! "Ladies" is a culmination of a ...

Two Different Corners Review ofLadies And Gentlemen (The Best Of George Michael) - George Michaelby
shyrewode
Advantages: George's best tracks Disadvantages: Some unfamiliar tracks for casual listeners
George Michael is a class act. This is an essential album whether you're a big fan or just a casual listener.
The Double CD album is thoughtfully arranged- ballads on CD1, and dance tracks on CD2. This allows you to play the one which best suits your mood.
George Michael crafts his considerable songwriting talents around his soaring, soulful voice. And what a voice!
Ballads such as "One more Try" and "A Different Corner" show a reflective, mature ...

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: THE BEST OF GEORGE MICHAEL
As the title of this album suggests, this really is the best of George Michael. Combining both the older 'classic' hits, as well as the more contemporary ones from Michael's multi-decade career into one double-CD album, it promises hours of spectacular fun and popular music.
The album is divided into types of music, split by the two CDs: CD1 for the heart, and CD2 for the feet. As such, the ...

Truly Brilliant Review ofLadies And Gentlemen (The Best Of George Michael) - George Michaelby
zwiggy
Advantages: Disadvantages:
...duet with Mary J. Blige, Ladies and Gentlemen has absolutely everything. Apparently, the title of the album has nothing to do with Mr Michael’s arrest in LA… Well worth investing in even if you’re not a huge George Michael fan. ...

Fantastic Review ofLadies And Gentlemen (The Best Of George Michael) - George Michaelby
Orinoco
Advantages: Disadvantages:
This is a fantastic album. The album is arranged as a 2CD set. The first CD has all of George Michael’s fantastic ballads and the second has all his dance tracks. I think that this is an album you will enjoy regardless of whether you are a George Michael fan or not. Virtually all the songs on this album are instantly recognisable hits, from the classic ‘Careless Whisper’ to the wonderful ‘Too Funky.’ In fact, the only thing that spoils this album ...

Who-ever thought that i'd be promoting George Michael...and in public too, but.....The Best Of George Michael is an excellent collection of new and previous hits by the sensational George Michael. George Michael scores an hit with this wonderful and upbeat collection of his greatest hits. George's
baritone musical voice is sure to melt to anyone's heart. George knows how to please his fans with his musical range from upbeat danceable songs to slow ...
