Hit: 3 Stars
Probably the only Queen related album I won't give 5 stars. I bought this album thinking it was all performed at the Tribute Concert, I was wrong. Only 2 of the tracks are from the Tibute concert which is what makes the CD worth buying. But the rest are from a George Michael concert a few days after. Except of course for "Dear Friends" which is from Sheer Herat Attack. It might have gotten more stars if they would included "39" on it. I guess its a good deal if you are a George Michael fan and an Queen fan, but Queen fans shouldn't stress out over not having it, but it is nice to have just for those 2 tracks.Free Music Review: Decent, but not essential

This short E.P. of mostly live performances was mainly an effort to hold fans over in-between albums. Some live performances with Queen were included, including a powerful hit rendition of the Freddie Mercury classic "Somebody To Love" (#30 US) and a lovely cover of Queen's "These are the Days of Our Lives," performed as a duet with Lisa Stansfield. Michael also performs live renditions of Seal's "Killer"(#69 US), which segues into the Rolling Stones' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone," and a stark, stirring performance of Bob Telson's Oscar nominated "Calling You" (from the BAGDAD CAFE). Also included, for somewhat inexplicable reasons, is a brief snippet of Queen performing "Dear Friends" from it's SHEER HEART ATTACK album. There are enough interesting moments to make this a fine listen for Michael's fans, however, none of the covers top the originals and most listeners will be able to live without it.

The tribute is a great cause but George Michael can't sing... Why didn't Roger Taylor and Brian May sing instead of him ? It would have been much much better. Just buy "A Day At The Races" if you want an amazing "Somebody To Love" song... I know George Michael didn't want to replace Freddie (really ?) but I still think it's a shame to produce such parody.Free Music Review: Just a Nice Tribute

I Personally cannot stand George Michael's voice and the claims people make that he sounds closest to Freddie is absurd. The Freddie Mercury Tribute is a great cause.. and this made lots of money. But George Michael, IN MY OPINION, cannot sing.
