Twenty Five - George Michael

I received this as a present Christmas 2008 from my fiance and was really surprised with his choice of gift as although he knew I like George Michael I hadn't mentioned it or dropped any hints for it so was very pleasantly surprised. Anyway, on with the review, I have tried to provide background history, chart information, my personal review of each of the songs and a rating out of 5. This might mean that the review is a lot longer than my normal ...
...and most of all for bearing with me! There are two versions of this album, a two disc and a three disc, my review is based on the two disc edition. George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963 in East Finchley, North London. He first became famous in the U.K by teaming up with Andrew Ridgeley in 1982 as part of duo Wham!, by the time they split in 1986 George had already become very successful as a solo artist and was known ...

Review of Twenty Five - George Michael

So, its been 25 years since George Michael first graced the charts with Wham's unique brand of 80's pop. For the first time here, George releases a compilation that incorporates the pop magic of those days with his own tamer brand of adult pop. And as great a pop star as George Michael might have once been, you are left wondering why. Its only been one studio album of new material since his last Greatest Hits collection Ladies & Gentlemen, so why ...
...have no objection to a 25 year celebration if the pickings weren't so slim. The problem is that it mainly treads waters already crossed by Wham's Greatest Hits released just a few years ago and Goorge's own Ladies & Gentlemen. Both those albums were comprehensive enough, here the only addition to the singles already available are the "Patience" singles and a couple of new tracks. Much like Ladies & Gentlemen, the songs are divided into a night and ...

Review of Twenty Five - George Michael

Having seen George Michael (my all time hero) live twice on his recent tour I just had to go and buy this cd. Anyone who has managed 25 years in the music business deserves some credit and respect especaily whilst maintaining integrity and dignity against sometimes impossible odds. Whether you love or hate George you cant deny that he has do it his way whilst standing up against the might of a major record label. The cd is broken into 2 sections, ...
...the more upbeat selection of his songs featuring 3 Wham songs eg wake me up, As, a deut with Mary J Blige and more recently Flawless. The second part of the cd is named "for the loving" . As the name suggests this is for the loving and feature more slower song ranging from careless whisper, Jesus to a child and praying for time. It also has a few duets on there with Paul McCartney, Elton John and Mutya formally of the Sugarbabes. Just one complaint ...

Review of Twenty Five - George Michael

George Michael, absolute legend George Michael, probably best known for being in a group called Wham and they had great hits, three of my favorites are 'freedom', 'club tropicana' and 'Wake me up before you go go'. He then moved on and made a huge success of himself as a solo artist. I have to say that he has many great tunes, the pick of the bunch would have to be 'faith', 'don't let the sun go down on me' (with Elton John) and 'Careless Whisper'. ...
...is 'GENIUS' . This guy has had his fair share of publicity but his music makes up for it, flawless. I recommend these CDS very highly - all his greatest hits on 2 CDs, have to say it doesn't get any better than that!! CD 1 - for living Everything she wants - Wham Wake me up before you go go - Wham Freedom - Wham Faith Too Funky Fastlove Freedom 90 Spinning the wheel Outside#As Freeek! Shoot the dog Amazing Flawless (go to the city) ...
