Remem­ber George Michael? Well, I just saw him in con­cert a cou­ple months ago and he was totally FAB! He looked great, his voice was phe­nom­e­nal and the show was such an eight­ies flash­back that I felt like I was a Diva-In-Training again! You have to admit the eight­ies were one of the most fun decades we have lived through.

Take a lis­ten to a few sam­ples below from his most recent release of Twen­ty­Five Live. There are 2 CDs, 1 is for Lov­ing and the other is for Liv­ing ~ I think you will like it.

You may be sur­prised at some of the songs included on the Twen­ty­Five CD or if you choose to down­load an MP3. Check out, Feel­ing Good, Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me and, of course, your favorites, Care­less Whis­per, Faith and A Dif­fer­ent Cor­ner.

Let’s face it, George Michael is not always at the top of our mind when we think of a great gift and even if we do think of him, we shake our heads at the “unfor­tu­nate “sit­u­a­tions” Georgie-Boy has put him­self into.

Well, don’t pity the boy…think of the good times. When he debuted with Wham! in the 80’s we all thought he was a doll, includ­ing my 10 year baby-sister who declared, “He is going to be big!”  Well, 25 years later, he is still a major tal­ent with a beau­ti­ful voice.

I also rec­om­mend the Twen­ty­Five Com­plete DVD Col­lec­tion of all George Michael videos includ­ing those from his WHAM! days with Andrew Rid­g­ley. You will smile and dance to your old favorites and have fun see­ing some that were never shown this side of the pond.

I recently spent an entire evening watch­ing all 205 min­utes. It was like the old MTV days when they actu­ally played Music Videos. Before “Real­ity” killed the Video star.
