Does anyone know anything about George Michael's concerts? I mean anything
about tour or any kind of performance! I'm a portuguese fan of Yog from
Portugal and unfortunally George never played there and i never had the
opportunity to see a live performance. Thanks

(He just did a couple gigs in London for TV and radio broadcast, but there
are no definite tour plans as yet, except for a strong rumour of something
next year. I do find it pretty ironic that George has never done a concert
in Portugal since I know Lisbon was a fave vacation spot of his during the
post-Wham! era. AG)

Do you think you are willing to come to KOREA someday??? Fantastic KOREAN
fans await you!!!! See-ya SOON.

Good luck to you. Give me a message early I can't stand it.

(YM has a couple of Korean fans, maybe you will luck out, who knows! AG)

Just wanted to say Hi. And that I was thrilled to find this page on the web.
I'm a true Wham! fan, and I really miss the days of Club Tropicana and such.

(Yeah, I miss that Speedo too.... AG)

I was in high school when Wham! really made it big in America. Now I'm 20
something and still rush to the tv when I hear or see anything about George.
I haven't used or heard anybody say Yog in ages and his nickname just brings
back loads of memories. Too many to mention but I'm sure you guys have
similar ones of your own.

(Despite the fact that George may not want us to, we use Yog regularly, and I
know a bunch of us owe our handles to him. AG)

I'm definetly behind the times lately when it comes to George, but now that
I've found this site I won't be anymore.

(And with YOGMAIL, you'll be even more up to date! AG)

Well it's Saturday, and I'm about to get off work to go and find some
FastLove...

Bonjour all!
George Michael has been my favorite artist since I was 13 years old when I
first saw him in London as part of the group in WHAM. Keep me posted as to
when he'll be touring and when is he going to start working on his new album.

(Once more, a possible tour next year. Also, Fony is set to release the
promised Greatest Hits package that will include 3 new tracks--for which
George has agreed to make videos--next year. As for working on the new
album, most people who know him well say George is always working on the next
album. AG)

It's a shame that OLDER has not achieved the success in the USA that it has
achieved in other parts of the world.

(It can be hard to be a George fan in North America. AG)

Talk to ya soon.

Sorry for my English. I'm Italian boy. Please I'd like to know some George
Michael informations.

(Never apologize for your English. I instead apologize for my lack of
Italian. AG)

Does George Michael start concerts about his new album OLDER? When does the
concerts starts? George Michael come in Italy and especially in Rome?

(At this time, there are no definite tour plans. But I do think Europe will
get a larger tour than North America when he finally does. We'll get another
Cover to Cover like scenario--30 days 16 shows--and the rest of the world
will get a Faith Tour like itinerary--a couple of months and dozens of shows.
We'll keep you posted! AG)

Thanks to everybody will answer my questions.

I just got a copy of "Spinning the wheel from my local import record store. I
am a HUGE G.M. fan and I have to tell you that on that ep the song "You know
that I want to" is AWESOME!!!!!! I wish it had been included on "Older". I
fell as if I"ve grown up with George and that song expresses some of the
heartache I've felt at the possiblity of a one night stand with a friend. You
should get it if you don't already have a copy.

(I totally agree. AG)

By the way, I have 2 CD's to offer for sale, "Spell" by Deon Estes with
"Heaven help me", and a copy of "Wham:The Final". If anyone is interested
please e-mail me at CURALPHIE-at-aol.com.

Just wanted to ask you a question:

Does a compilation of GM videos exist? As I do not watch MTV every often, I
have not yet seen any of his new videos. Are they going to sell them (like
they did the Faith videos)?

(I think they might to co-incide with the Greatest Hits, but I never say
anything for sure when it pertains to George. AG)

HI AG,

WOW! NOW YOU HAVE PASSED THE 250 MARK AND ALREADY GOING FOR THE 1000
MARK HUH? THAT IS GREAT AND I BELIEVE THAT IS A LOT OF
WORK AND YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB.

ABOUT THE 12" VINYL RECORDS OF STW. YES, IT IS AVAILABLE AT THE TOWER
RECORDS ON SUNSET BLVD. IN HOLLYWOOD, CA. THEY ARE LOCATED AT THE 12" CD
SINGLES SECTION IN THE BACK OF THE STORE. THEY HAVE THE BLUE COVER IMPORT
FROM THE UK AND THE GEORGE PHOTO COVER FROM THE US. THEY ARE REASONABLY
PRICED. SO GO AHEAD AND GET THEM BOTH BEFORE THEY'RE GONE. THIS IS MAINLY FOR
ELENA S. MARVO I have read so many times here
and everywhere the
"America-doesn't-love-George-Michael-anymore-song", that I just felt I must
say this. America is far more than just the States. I do love the States,
please don't you even dream that I could have something against them, but I

also live in this continent, so I don't want people to believe that stuff. I
know that in many other countries of Sudamerica (Chile, Argentina, and so on)
people really love his music. Please, do
not ever think that we could forget him! As an example, I can tell you that
STW is going up to the top of our music list, just the same way that his
wonderful songs usually do. WE LOVE HIM!!!!

(This is true. People do tend to lump both of the Americas together. South
America does love George, this much I know! We love him here in North
America too, but not as widely I guess. AG)

DEAR AMANDA,

HELLO ONCE AGAIN.
THOUGHT ID PASS ON THIS BIT OF INFORMATION. I SPOKE TO RICK CARTER TODAY
FROM VIRGIN RECORDS. HES IN CHARGE OF VIRGIN'S INTERNET CONTENT. I WANTED
TO KNOW HOW TO GET PERMISSION FOR USING GEORGES PHOTOGRAPH IN MY WEB PAGE.
WELL SURPRISE SURPRISE HE DIDNT KNOW WHERE TO OR HOW TO GET PERMISSION.

(You won't get it. AG)

HOWEVER I ASKED HIM A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT GEORGE, HE WASNT VERY HELPFULL BUT
DID TELL ME THAT GEORGE HAS NO PLANS TO PUT HIS OWN PRESENCE ON THE WEB(AT
THE MOMENT), NOR DOES HIS MANAGEMENT, IN HIS WORDS "THEY HAVE MORE IMPORTANT
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT" HE DIDNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT MTV UNPLUGGED BEING AIRED
BUT HE WAS AT THE RADIO ONE SHOW HIMSELF.SO I ASKED HIM ABOUT THE RUMOURS
THAT IT WAS TO BE SHOWN ON TV. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO CAMERAS PRESENT
AT THE SHOW SO HE DIDNT SEE HOW THEY COULD SHOW IT ON TV.

(I can guarantee you there will be a broadcast of MTV Unplugged. The Radio
One show was just that, for radio. AG)

IF ANYONE WAS ACTUALLY AT THE SHOW CAN THEY CONFIRM THIS FOR US ALL? I
REALLY CAN'T IMAGINE THEM NOT TAPEING THE SHOW, ESPECIALLY GEORGE. HE EVEN
HAD THE FINAL CONCERT TAPED FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL USE. I REALLY CANT BELIEVE
THIS SHOW WAS NOT TAPED.
STILL NEVER MIND AT LEAST WE MIGHT GET THE SHOW ON RADIO. STILL, THE CONCERT
OF HOPES AIRING ON TV AND RADIO PROVED TO BE A REALLY CUT DOWN VERSION OF THE
WHOLE SHOW,SO JUST HOW MUCH WE WILL GET ACCESS TO IS ANYBODY'S GUESS.

(PR people are paid to lie Jeff, that's their job. AG)

THATS ALL FOR NOW JUST THOUGHT ID LET YOU KNOW WHAT USELESS BITS OF
INFORMATION IVE FOUND OUT THIS WEEK.

I SEE FROM AN OLD YOG MAIL THAT YOU ALSO LIKE MADONNA? I LOVE MADONNA......

ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT A LOT OF GEORGE FANS ALSO LIKE MADONNA,DO YOU THINK THAT
ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH SO ALIKE IN THEIR ATTITUDES?
I DO. DO YOU HAVE ANY LIVE MADONNA VIDEOS? LET ME KNOW PLEASE.

(I think the two of them have a great deal in common. How many of you have a
love for both Madonna and George? I have a Blonde Ambition tour from
Barcelona. Other than that, I just finally returned copies of Ciao Italia
and The Girlie Show to a friend--I had had them for 7 or 8 months. I have
some live audio stuff too. But I must honestly say that the old girl's voice
pales by comparison to her backing vocalists--Donna and Niki. AG)

TILL LATER,
JEFF

Just thought I'd share `another' little story with my fellow-fans.

I agree with you that the next release should be "star people", but do you
think the radio station will bleep out when george swears in the last verse.

(Well yeah, but everyone's swearing these days. It'll just be synthesized to
blur the actual naughty word. AG)

Also, i think the chat on the WWW is a great idea let me know where and when.

Hello Amanda,

Please check http://www.cdeurope.com/ they have something strange. Their
reference B276211 New + Bonus George Michael VIRGI 2/28/96 Compact Disc
album, B419960 Dance Into The Beat Wham, B355838 Star Box -15tr.- Wham
SONY, any idea of what can these products can be? I've asked there but I got
no response. If any out ther at Yogmail could help I'd be pleased because I
don't want to buy strange without knowing what's on them ;-)

(Dance to the Beat was just discussed a couple days ago. It's not the real
thing, it's just Wham! songs sung by some guy who kinda sounds like George.
The other CD I have no idea about. Anyone? AG)

Hey Amanda,

Great job on YOGMAIL. No one can say that enough!!!! Today when I read
about your concert experience it brought tears to my eyes. Melaine walked
right in front of me at the Cover to Cover tour in Washington, DC. I was on
the sixth row and it was amazing!! George and I made eye contact and he was
even laughing at me at one point!!! Halloween night is my "anniversary".
Anyway, maybe I'll share that story later.

(Too bad you didn't share your experience, I would have decreed it Priority
One and posted it immediately. AG)

I saw that you mentioned on the message boards that you would dub the STW
video and I was wondering if you could send me one? I totally understand
that you are very busy, so no rush or anything. Just if you get the time.
Let me know and I will glady send the $$$$$ right away.

(Drop $10 in the mail. Change will be returned. Dubbing to be done in the
next couple of weeks. AG)

I see the acronym YOG.... I know that there is YOGMAIL.....but, it there
something specific that YOG stands for in relation to George Michael? I
would like to know soon so no one will think I'm a newbie. Thank you in
advance.

(OK newbies, and I know there are a lot of you. YOG is not an acronym, but
rather a nickname. George's legal name is Georgios--pronounced Yorgos--and
his sisters shortened the name to Yorg. Andrew came round the house one day
and heard the sisters Panayiotou, and thought it was funny, further shortened
it to Yog. *********************************

Hello to all,
I just wanted to write a quick note, I found S.T.W imported cd single at
Tower and I also found Fastlove cd single imported from England at a local
store in Ca. It does have an awesome long version of Fastlove on it. It is a
mix of Fastlove and I'm your man 96. Just wanted to let people know, the
imports are out there.It seems like a treaure hunt of sorts, but what a
treasure!!!

Why is everyone so downtrodden about the mellowness of George's latest album?
I think it's vintage George. Remember "A Different Corner?" Sure, my
favorite song of all time is "I'm Your Man," but I really appreciate his

latest. Anyway...

(It's just that we all know George can rock with the best of them, and we'd
like to see him get funky a bit longer... AG)

To Wrap it Up:

Long enough for you?

And I'm still a week behind...
