Besides having a really good voice, I thought George Michael made some really interesting and good videos. marisa @marisa_965 16h16 hours ago So sad to see people coming to Twitter and finding out about George Michael. *hugs to all* Sounds like Greek music ,to me, near the end of the video..

I had a thought related to the running discussion of safe-gay vs. sexy-gay acceptance.
I think that gender also has a lot to do with what is acceptable. For example, FYE (the song) was originally written for Britney Spears. If she had released it, the S&M theme would have been just another Britney song. No big deal. Adam releasing it pushed some boundaries a bit to far. If you replace Adam in the infamous AMA performance with Britney, and Tommy with a woman, the reaction would have been a lot less dramatic. Or think about Rhianna's "S&M" (2010) which was a #1 hit in the US and UK -- for weeks. I could post a long list of songs that were hits for women, that probably would not be accepted if released by men.
Similarly, many "empowerment" songs released by women are hits but probably would not be hits if released by men.
Based on the numbers, it is still harder to be successful in music if you are a women vs. a man, but in Western cultures, we will accept women being overtly sexual but men not so much.

It's so hypocritical of some members of the press.First they build you up ,then they knock you down and then they glorify you when you die.. If George Michaels is looking down on all this glorification from some of the same press that tried to destroy him.. I wonder what he is thinking... RIP George you lived your life fully with meaning and with great courage.. You will always be loved Same as glorifying President Obama as he's leaving ETA/Sorry- just to clarify that I feel Obama's being appreciated too late- as an example of this phenomena

www.youtube.com/watch?v=iboh68QMcRUThis is an "odd, exquisite video at the Palais Garnier, Paris". Produced by Phil Ramone and is mostly slow soul/jazz sung by George Michael with orchestra.
