Summary	about the DVD Best of George Michael by Epic....
Content	The overall DVD for this title is well done but local Singapore VCD have three missing MTV like outside, fast love as well as I want your sex where M18 rating for home video and R21 for theatre is only in force. (M18 count by no of sex...two scene before they censorsed the rest away. It is for age 18 to 20). I still enjoy watching the MTV whatever it is....:-)

Summary	Music great but visuals detract
Content	George has a really great voice. It is strong and has a lot of varity and colour. However I gave this DVD away as I just didnt like his style of videos. I almost kept it for the one concert clip as I think he is actaully at his best in a concert belting it out and connecting with his fans. The videos are good visual quality and sound but watching one after the other back to back I found I was really put off by the progression of gyrating near-naked woman sexually provocative and pouting at the camera. Hey - I dont see myself as a prude but I'm a woman and women just dont turn me on by being provocative. I don't need to share my living room with them in such quantity as they do nothing for me, I don't identify with them and for me they detract from George. The best video clip for me was the simplest - George in white, on his own, really getting into and expressing the soul and mood of a song. The question is why George has needed the women thing throughout his videos. Is it because this has become current video style (unfortunately)? Is it because men like to communicate to other men their place in the pecking order by being able to attract and be surrounded by 'babes' (and isnt George's voice and standing beyond the need for those games?) Was George trying to show he can hold his own in a straight world even though he has been 'bi-' in sexuality and when falling in love prefers men? So why does he need this whole female thing when I'd guess most of his fans are women and like me arent turned on by this stuff so it misses the mark? I havent seen myself as a women's lib type, and certainly not moralistic - but I really am, as a modern woman, rather tired of all the objectifying of women. George is about the last person who needs to keep flogging these sex images. He stands tall in all respects as an entertainer and he seems to be a genuinely nice guy who can afford to simplify and just share himself with audiences. I've had the CD set that matches these videos so as these dont distract with the images bye-bye DVD - and hopefully looking forward to a George Michael concert DVD if one is ever released!

Summary	Terrific Review of a Remarkable Career
Content	This collection is essential for any fan of George Michael, and is a bracing reminder of one of the greatest pop songwriters of the last 25 years. It also shows his astuteness in choosing directors for his videos. No one, aside from Madonna, has done this as well over such an extended period of time. Some of the clips may seem dated now ("I Want Your Sex", anyone?), but most hold up incredibly well. "Kissing a Fool" is the best of the "Faith" era tracks, and one of the finest songs George has written - maybe his best. And the video presents it beautifully. "Freedom '90" might be the best video he ever made in which he did not appear, but it's fantastic all the same, with Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford and Elaine Irwin filling in. It's also one of the greatest video clips ever filmed. A wonderful addition to this collection is George's show-stopping performance of "Somebody to Love" from The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert of '92. This, I believe, shows him at the peak of his powers. It's simply chill-inducing. From the "Older" period, the best are probably "Jesus To A Child" (gorgeous and mournful) and "Fastlove" (virtual reality gone haywire). "Fastlove" is fun for two reasons: George always has gorgeous models so everyone has something to enjoy, and in the part where George sings, "...in the absence of security..." he's dressed in sunglasses and latex (?) being sprayed with water. What's not to like? In this age of "American Idol" and faceless, bland "insta-stars" (who, on top of singing schlock, will most likely never write a song of their own), this will remind you how true talent will always shine through.

Summary	The best DVD I own.
Content	This is the best DVD I own. Period. In fact, I bought a second one. The video collection is good. There's 24 videos on the one DVD. Both the Sound and Video quality is great. If you're a George Michael fan, this is about as good as it gets. I would have liked a DTS version. And if I could, I would probably swop a few songs. But all-in-all, this is a great DVD.
