RULED AGAINST
George Michael, 31, British pop star; in his
legal struggle to
escape from an exclusive 15-year, eight-album recording
contract with Sony Music, on grounds that it was in
restraint
of trade; by the High Court; in London. Michael's first solo
album, Faith(1987), sold 14 million copies and made the
stubble-faced
crooner an international sex symbol. When he
decided to play down this image in his next album, Michael
claims, the record
company tried to punish him by not
promoting the album aggressively. His lawyers called the
terms of the contract
restrictively and greedy. A High Court
judge countered that the terms of the deal were "reasonable
and fair" and
ordered Michael to pay the costs of the trial,
which could add up to $10 million. After the ruling, Michael
announced plans to
appeal, saying he believed that the
British legal system "will not uphold what is effectively
professional slavery."

221845 MAY 97
By Anjali Kwatra, PA News
Cheeky
chat show host Mrs Merton asked singer George
Michael to appear on her show during a live radio phone-in
today - and he
promised he would.
George was taking questions from listeners to the Pete
Mitchell show on Piccadilly 1152, a local station
in
Manchester, when he was surprised by the TV star.
(A note: I was warned about this the day it was due to
happen, and
the UK list was told in a bulletin. AG)
Mrs Merton, played by Caroline Aherne who lives in
Manchester, rang in and asked:
"Will you come on my
show?"
George, who was making his first appearance on a local
station for five years,
said he would love to.
He added: "Would it be all right if I pop round for a cup of
tea this afternoon?"
Mrs
Merton replied: "I would, but I'm polishing my brasses
this afternoon."
Then she asked him if he liked the Spice
Girls and George
replied: "I do, I am actually going to see them next week."
"Well, don't be tempted by
them, they are old slappers,"
Mrs Merton warned him.
(If they attacked and groped the Prince of Wales what will they
do
to George? AG)
George told her he had been watching videos of her shows
which he had been given for his birthday.
The
singer was also asked by city councillor Pat Karney if
he would host the Eurovision Song Contest if it was held in
Manchester.
He said he "would think about it".
A spokesman for Piccadilly said: "Our switchboard was
jammed with calls
from listeners wanting to speak to George."
DJ Pete Mitchell said: "George was tremendous fun and
really wanted
to come to Manchester because he thinks it is
a fabulous place."

Amanda, i can't tell you how grateful I am that yogmael
exists.
Words cannot express my gratitude as well as, how I thought I
was reading about myself when i was reading your
yogaholic
paper. I may be a little more obssessed, but I am try to come
back to earth. It's really a relief to see how fellow
yogfans care
for other yogfans and how they look out for one another. I am
21 and I have realized that by no means am I going
to allow
society to curb my dedication to george. In fact, i try to
inform others about him as much as i can. Sometimes it is
hard
to believe that here in the us, people are so blind when
it comes to truly great music. Here we have one of the best
songwriters
ever, the best male singer, etc. etc. and yet the
US has not fully caught on to the fire. I just hope that George
doesn't
fully give up on the US, otherwise i may have to move
to england!!!! (just kidding). Anyway, thank you very very very
much for
yogmael and your hard work. It is greatly
appreciated. :)
(You are very welcome. AG)

R&B OR NOT TO BE
Two songs on the Hot R&B Singles chart, Celine Dion's
"Because
You Loved Me" (550 Music) and George Michael's
"Fastlove" (DreamWorks/Geffen), might raise a few eyebrows,
because
both artists have pop credentilas. Billboard uses
R&B radio airplay as the determining factor for charting
on Hot R&B
Singles and Top R&B Albums.
## BILLBOARD MAY 25, 1996 ##
"FASTLOVE" charting at No.49 & gained

Hey!
This is to all of us who live
in those places where George can't
seem to find. I was listening to capital fm (over the net, very
exciting). Anyway, BY
CHANCE they played Star People
97!!!!! I was so happy! What a voice that man has!! Anyway,
I decided I was flying to London to
buy the single. When I
was trying to get through to the airline I noticed on there
website a top 40 list. So, just for yucks I
looked. George
Michael, Star People 97, Number 11, Click here to Order.
Wait, huh? ORDER!!! So, I hung up the phone with the
airline
and got my credit card out and ordered it through Capital FM.
I saved myself a trip and now I don't have to tell my
boss why
I wouldn't be in for work! Just a tip. There address, if you
don't already know is http//:www.capitalfm.co.uk/

Hi Amanda and Yogcrew,
First, I
would like to thank Amanda for the fabulous work she
does to produce a readable YOGMAEL. Secondly, I would
like to thank all
the Yogmael members whose contributions
really gives the rest of us, additional insight on George.
Third, I would like to
thank Beverley for the superb recount
of the "Unplugged" night. I almost thought I was there!!....I
would like to
add to a comment that Beverley made. She
said what a great job that the girl blotting George's face
with tissues had...I don't
think that was bad, but... I would
have opted in assisting George with tucking in his shirt, as
well as the ZIPPING UP
process...(smile). Shouldn't there
be personnel assisting with "everything"?
(Yeah, they're called prostitutes...
AG)
In two recent past issues of Yogmael, there where
questions about the LWP cover. I could not remember the
specifics,
but George discusses why he chose the cover for
the LWP album in an interview. I think its in the LWP video.
But I do remember
that George said that it happen to be a
opular picture from the 60's or 70's(once again, not really sure).
He describes the
scene and so on. I'm in school in Europe,
so I don't have access to my videos in the US. Someone
should definately double
check.
Its been a while since I've last contributed, it feels good...to
have written (not quite free from school work just
yet). And
yes, I also admit to being an Yogaholic and very proud of it!
"How much is enough?"

Amanda,
Could you please
broadcast the following on Yogmael:
The following site is dedicated to George's Birthday and its
contents will be printed
on June 25th, 1997 and forwarded
to his very own address (which I won't divulge so please, all
of you out there; don't
ask/email me about this subject).
The present is an invitation for all Yogmaelers and fans alike
to send him their personal
greetings. It's a great way to say
"hello" and/or to thank him for all he brings to us, with his
music.
You
may sign in your very own personal greetings at;

It'll be a great way to
wish him a Happy Birthday and to let
him know of our global support.:-)
C-ya there!

Hi.
First
of all I have to say that I am the louziest man alive into
the internet bussines... I never know jack what I'm doing so
forgive
me for any mistakes.
My name is Forgh and like I said in the first place I have a
VHS tape of George Michael performance on
the Rock in Rio
in Brazil. It is a not very good quality, but it is what I believe a
rarity and I want to share with all the
fans that subscribe your
page... Which I think it is very cool. Maybe I should say that
I am not after any money compensation,
since this is america
and every one wants to get profite over everything... I just
would like to get all the info about GM and
possibly provide this
rarity to all the others.
I've been a George Michael since, God, ever I guess. People
used to say
that I looked like him, of course, I was trying very
hard to. I'm not that young anymore and nowadays I stay
more in my own
self and admiring him from far away... I got
very jealous(ready for this it is very silly!!!) when I found out
he had a
"best friend" or whatever that was brazilian. I'm
brazilian too and I never got a chance!!!! Now I live in LA, I
always
thought that living on the capital of entertainment I
would have more access to everything related to my
favorites, wrong... I
have a very hard time getting any videos
or even singles...
Well, sorry for the long letter, I hope we can keep in touch...
Love
Forgh
