Glenn Customer Rating: Summary: Almost but not quite: The Best of George Michael Comment: As cheesy as some of George Michaels' music may seem, between his solo work and his time with Wham, he created some of the most enduring melodic pop of the 80's. While his 90's work found him drifting into middle-age minus the effervescence (Older) and the new century found his music less interesting than his public exploits (Patience is not that bad, however), this collection shows Michael's influence to be strong and bearing repeat hearings. Dividing this CD into two volumes is interesting in that it forces his contrasts into a sharp relief. While his ballads became some of his biggest hits, Michael's also tended to get cheesier as he got older...mistaking stateliness for maturity. It was in the period where he created "Faith," when he was willing to try all sorts of styles, including the exquisite "Kissing a Fool's" light jazz. There are still some incredible songs in his ballads disc (subtitled "For The Heart"), like "Father Figure" and his version of "I Can't Make You Love Me." No less an elder statesman than Elton John gave his seal of approval on their live duet of "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me." It was both his last number one single and played a significant role in reestablishing Elton's star-power in the 90's. There is also no denying the emotional force in "Jesus to a Child" (the best song on "Older") and the John Lennon derived "Praying For Time." However it's the second "For The Feet" disc that is the real heart of George Michael's mega-success. Everything here, even the lame "Older" stuff, is instant party music. He was a master at effortless hooks, making staples like "Freedom 90" and his duet with Aretha Franklin, "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me" classic pop. He remains a great interpreter, as his covers of Seal's "Killer" and Elton's "Don't Let..." prove. This also contains the set's biggest flaw in that "I Want You Sex" isn't the worldwide hit version, but part II from the Faith CD, which just seems ignorant. That is part of the reason for the four-star rating of "Ladies and Gentlemen." Had George clipped this to a single disc of actual hits (maybe even splitting it between a disc of Wham and a disc of his solo recordings) minus the filler ("Desafinado," "Waiting For That Day"), this could have been a dynamite time capsule of Michaels' career. Since he has released three more albums since, perhaps it's time for an update. Till then, I put in disc two every so often for the perfect pop that is "Faith" and "Too Funky." More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Bathroom escapades aside, there's no denying that George Michael has been responsible for some of the biggest party jams of the '80s and '90s. Have you ever noticed what happens to a room when "Faith" erupts from the speakers? Aside from the funk-fueled "Fastlove," the material from his most recent album, Older, is well and truly overshadowed here by the megahits from days gone by. The first disc starts off slow, with "Careless Whisper" and his remake of "I Can't Make You Love Me" the only real high points among otherwise bland ballads. It's disc 2 that exudes the essence of Michael, with "Fastlove," "Too Funky," and "Freedom 90" providing a nonstop dance-athon, and "I Want Your Sex" and "Faith" picking up the slack. The package also includes his rather unexciting (but hugely popular) duets with Queen and Elton John, his perfect pop pairing with Aretha Franklin, and two new tracks. Set aside some serious time for this one, folks. The hits don't stop. --Rebecca Wallwork
