Free Music Review: The Greatest Greatest hits package!
Hit: 5 Stars
There isn't much to write about this comprehensive George Michael retrospective 3 disc set except that fans and even non fans alike will be happy and surprised at the wealth of talent on display throughout this collection. The 3 new songs are all beautiful and as usual show George to be a master singer/songwriter and PHENOMENAL producer. My only gripes are these 1. Where's "I want your sex"??? How can he have a 3 disc greatest hits without the song that started his solo career off with such a bang and knocked the censorship board, Mtv and every mom in the world outta their seats? 2. The remake of "Heal the pain" with Sir Paul McCartney just ruined the song. Sorry. This just doesn't cut it. The original is a masterpiece and one of my all time fave GM songs but Paul's voice just sounds old and shaky next to George's fine tuned instrument. No disrespect meant but there's no comparison.(Have you heard George sing "The long and winding road"? Again he shows Paul how to deliver a truly moving vocal on a magnificent song. Better than the original. Doubt me? Go watch it on Youtube and see and hear it for yourself.)3. Where's the George/Whitney Houston duet "If I told you that"? and 4. Where's the WHAM song BAD BOYS??? C'Mon!!! That was the 1st song I ever heard from them. Otherwise, this is 3 discs of pure heaven for George Michael fans and fans to be. Covering not only all his singles (except "sex") but some fantastic album cuts (Precious box, Round here, Please send me someone and My mother had a brother) that the casual listener would never hear. Everything's been remastered and sounds great, so do yourself a favor and get the 3 disc version. It's well worth the few extra bucks.Free Music Review: It ain't time for a best of yet!

When an artist releases a 'best of' it's normally signalling the beginning of the end of a (succesfull) career. Not for this sometimes controversial, but always non-conformalist artist. Having said that, I'm a bit confused why George Michael released an album that for two thirds consists of previously released material, when the new songs warrant an album of their own! But I guess that's what signing a contract with a record company does for you...
Generally, I need some time to warm to George Michaels new songs when I hear them for the first time (I remember hearing 'Faith' for the first time thinking "what the..."). Adding to that, the new material is pretty self evident and, let's say... private? George Michael is finally in tune with his sexuality and not afraid to make it a subject of mostly every new song. Though that takes some getting used to from a heterosexual point of view, the stories are genuine and lovingly sung - something to be applauded from wherever point of view you look at it.
Again, George Michael surprises with me with songs that I can't seem to stop playing over and over (particularly the new ones). The music transcends itself combined with the fantastic voice of George Michael. About that voice... It always amazes me how well it combines with uptune disco songs like 'Too Funky' or 'Freek' as well as more sedate tunes like the unique jazzy cover of 'Roxanne' or new material like 'My mother had a brother'.
I find it really wonderful experiencing George Michael releasing this kind of timeless music. And if necessary, don't mind waiting a couple of years for his next album.
