Customer Reviews:

Reintroducing George Michael!.......2003-10-07

Among this two disc set is one clunker, and that is I WANT YOUR SEX (PT. 2). It turns me off because it's just the backside of the monster hit that played itself to death. I didn't check out the "Pt. 2" part. Aside from that, this is still the best of George. From funky jam solo, duets with Elton John and Aretha Franklin, and the best part-the ballads, George made his mark on the music world, and whether you agree or not, his versatility as a performer is his best asset. Listening to some of these tunes, it becomes obvious that he could have made a bundle in the contemporary jazz catagory. Any two-hit wonder can put out a "Best of" disc, but George Michael has done himself a great service by releasing a very impressive body of work.

Generous Retrospective.......2002-05-24

While this compilation was a contract obligation for Michael, Sony had the rights to these songs and to release any compilations they wanted to, this is still a worthwhile investment for the George Michael fans. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: THE BEST OF GEORGE MICHAEL spans his career with plenty of material to satisfy the fans. The set is divided by 2 cds, the first being FOR THE HEART (ballads) and the second being FOR THE FEET (uptempos). This is the import version, which features one extra track, the duet with Mary J Blige on "As", which was not placed on the US version as a punishment from the label for his bathroom escapades in 1998. As well there are two new songs, one on each disc.

FOR THE HEART features some of his most heartfelt ballad performances. Notables include "Jesus To A Child", "You Have Been Loved", "I Can't Make You Love Me", "Careless Whisper", "Cowboys and Angels" and "One More Try".

FOR THE FEET features some of his best uptempo songs, such as "I Want Your Sex (Pt II), "Star People 97", "Too Funky", "Fastlove", etc. "Outside" is a great song, the new one on this disc, the video is among his best. Other highlights here include the duet with Aretha Franklin on "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me", the duet with Mary J Blige "As", "Hard Day", and more.

Overall this 29 song collection is a generous offering, and a must have for the fans, to remember some of his best known music. FOR THE HEART is perfect for reflection and relaxing, FOR THE FEET is perfect for getting ready to go out and party. Overall this is essential for the fans.

A true star under-rated now in the US.......1999-11-17

What an amazing collection. Never has an artist put out such a complete work of art. Unlike usual greatest hits packages which simply throw an artists best songs on disc, George Michael has taken time to create a 2 disc mood set, "For the Feet" and "For the Heart". With a few surprise songs thrown in, especially "AS" with Mary J Blige which for legal reason the US version didn't contain. Well worth the money.

It's George Michael: What did you expect ?.......1999-09-28

This is for shure the greatest Best-Of-Album ever created in the history. Hopefully, GM will create more titles , so that we will have an "The Absolutely Best Of GM" in future.

Thanks, George
