A Date with George Michael

Go ahead and roll your eyes, it’s ok, go ahead and poke fun, that’s ok too. Tomorrow night I have a date with George Michael. It’s been 17 years since he toured in the US and I just couldn’t miss out on his comeback right? I bought the tickets and then told my husband that I wanted him to go somewhere with me and that he couldn’t say no then I said it’s a concert. I’m sure in his head he was thinking, OMG if this woman makes me go see New Kids On the Block we are *so* headed for divorce court. No, I’ll just make my friend Julia go with me this fall when they pass through Atlanta on their tour.

Have any of you seen the movie Music & Lyrics with Drew Barrymoore & Hugh Grant (who I love by the way, and yes I’m pretending he didn’t do that thing with that woman and get arrested for it….shhh)? It is such a cute movie, he plays a 80′s singer who was in a band similar to Wham. I even downloaded the songs from itunes, yeah I’m a sucker for cheesy music.

So this time tomorrow night I’ll be screaming like a teenager from wayyyyyyyy up high in the cheap seats and singing at the top of my lungs to George Michael music. My husband will probably be sitting next to me with his ipod ear buds in his ears pretending he’s listening to the same thing I am, but in reality he will probably be listening to Judas Priest or something bizarre like that;-).

***update*** The George Michael concert was flipping amazing. In my next life I want to come back with a English accent. I wonder if I could just talk like that when we move to Atlanta, maybe no one would notice? Best accents ever. This morning I had almost no voice from screaming so loud last night at the concert. I told my husband I want to see him when he plays Atlanta, and darn it his show is the day we leave LA July 31. Here are the dates left on his tour: http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/735650, if you like him GO! You will not be sorry, he sounds as good as ever!

One of my favorite George Michael songs (but to be honest I pretty much love them all)

Check out Hugh Grant in his faux 80′s group “Pop”, I love this he’s so funny and that’s really him singing too!

OMG, I am totally going to NKOTB – November 19th, baby!
I would also kill to go to George Michael. Kissing a Fool is one of my favorite songs ever.

OMG! Don’t laugh, but I never realized that first song was by GM. When I worked at Pier 1 Imports in like 1987 they played that song over and over and OVER on “The Coast”! (Is that even a radio station anymore??)
Have fun at the concert. Just don’t wake me up before you go go LOL :)

I wasnt able to view the George Michael Video it would not load for me.
But the one with Hugh Grant showed very well. Oh my gosh what a fun video, love their little dance move when they shake their bottoms.
Have fun at the concert, I would totally want to go as well.
Loved wham and still do. My fave song from Wham is : Last Christmas…..

I love George Michael too! I have the Wham! LP, ha! You’ve got to see him performing “Praying For Time” on American Idol on YouTube. He made Paula Abdul cry. Have a blast screaming tonight!
