George Michael on Lip Syncing (MTV 1990)

Here is a clip of George's thoughts on other artists lip syncing. I always find it interesting to hear what he had to think about various things so this is a nice clip to watch!

*Transferred from my own VHS tape*

What a loss to the music industry and to humanity.... The world lost a lot when George's light was extinguished. He was truly a brilliant artist in every way and he was so intelligent and humble when he spoke. He had class and grace and was always honest. I really miss him on so many levels....

I notice every time he answers a question his honesty is so apparent. No self-ego mania and no interference with his answers. George not only was so sincere in his music but the man behind the music Well do I really have to say more? George only had the respect of other artists, and never spoke unkind things about anyone. there were a few people he didn't care for for personal reasons & felt the real need to reach out to & use his platform, yet he still didn't lower himself for anyone. George spoke the truth & never afraid to show It. I myself wish I could be so gracious. We as other human beings could learn a lot from George, I know I have! 💓

"If I was a fantastic dancer", does he knows that he was a damn perfect dancer ? Ain't he saw his beautiful dance moves that he made ? I'm shocked, he was so humble about his success !

George was as honest as the day is long love and miss him always ❤️ xxxx

[carolnalezinski]

He’s true to himself always has his talk which is the truth beautiful said miss that man 👍❤️❤️🥰

He is so beautiful. I miss and love him so much.

I saw him live and he did NOT lip synch any of the concert! He was phenomenal!❤❤

[suyai]

I completely agree with him when it comes to performers who put their entire soul to have a complex choreography in their concert and they might need some help with the music, an example could be Michael Jackson during Bad Tour

It is always very nice to hear his point of view about various things. Thanks Albert.

I think he's right. Milli Vanilli is a good example. It wasn't just the two guys who made millions, it was the record company and the people behind the scenes, but ironically no one blamed them when the truth came out.

He was a great dancer. I loved his body moving in rhythm to the music. He performed at an Aids benefit concert sponsored by Princess Diana. He truly showed his dancing talent. ❤❤❤forever ♥️.

ENTERTAINERS like MJ have to LIP SYNC because dancing and singing simultaneously for an hour or two is almost like jogging/running and singing for two hours. Its a lot on the lungs and the performer.

I loved Milli Vanilli and George is spot in that many people made millions off Rob and Fab and then hypocritically dissed them ..

MV in no way 'started' lip syncing on stage.
Hee Haw was famous for it as was Soul Train.
kids...

[ladylove]

Except he did. At HIS concerts he sang, but not pa's x

Hello Albert, once again I have recently been recommended a French interview from the Faith era circa 1988. I think it is part of a larger programme focusing on George during the Faith era which was released back in the day. I have not seen in until recently myself so maybe you have not seen it either! If you’ve already seen it, maybe you have a version of the full programme in your archive..? 👀

Here is said link and hope you have been well:

That's a perspective I had never thought of. The "industry" built you up a certain way, so you're just doing what made you famous. Being a puppet.

He did lip sync on various tv appearances. Especially early in his career. I doubt that he did in concert though.

[wallacelovecraft]

0:05 Is this host a tool or does he really not know acts that perform on stage lip sync all the time or have it running in the background while they sing. And for programs like the mtv awards or something, they are slotted in for a specific amount of time, and everything has to go as schedule. Again, most, if not all, acts lip sync during those. Only some don't. Milli vanilli didn't start it.

[startracker]

But George did mime on top of the pops.
