This City Never Sleeps
Monday, November 20, 2006 @ TWENTYFIVE
Had never expected that George Michael would release his compliation of songs he performed for the past 25 years, and in the end, die hard fans who supported him (like me) were rewarded with TWENTYFIVE, a compliation of songs for the past 25 years.

And so far, only Lawrence, Ross and some of my close friends knows that George Michael is my favourite singer, and i doubt Jeremy would see the point why i go gaga over 25, and over the moon when i bought myself 25.

I must admit that it is a fact that Georgie boy is a gay, but at least he is happy with what he had, right? And that is not a good reason for anyone to condemn his singing talent for that 25 years right? At least i would pay $488 (max) to watch George perform in S'pore Indoor Stadium, over some teeny booper Korean celeb who simply only had the looks, but a $200 tix can't even let you see his 6 pec. Or even his face clearly.

As promised, you get 44 songs from his 25 years of career, from songs in his early Wham! days to An Easier Affair and This is Not Real Love. This is Not Real Love is a duo with singer Mutya, where it talks about a love that is not real. An Easier Affair, on the other hand, sings about his life of becoming a gay, and how he finds acceptance in the society.

If you had a full collection of George's album (from the days he was a singer in Wham! to his last album, Patience), you might find this album slightly disappointing. From my observation, he moved all songs from his last album, Patience, into the 3 disc edition. (Note: there are 2 disc version available, but for starters, go for 2 disc version, while die hard fans, please get yourself the 3 disc version, by hook or by crook.) Also, don't expect his I Want Your Sex to be featured in this compliation, even though I Want Your Sex is one of his classics in the late 80's, which leads to a ban in Singapore during the early 90's.

In a nutshell: Grab the album before the album go-go and never return. =P
