Ready For America Again
Filed under: Anglophilia > Music Minute > George Michael
George Michael is coming back to the U.S. for what may very well be his farewell tour!
He calls it a "rounding off" of his career's first phase. "I don't want to do anything on this scale again," he says. "No more stadiums. I'd like to be the Tony Bennett for my generation."
The Brit's trek across the U.S. is his first outing here in SEVENTEEN years!
"It's the end of a certain era, and I'm not sure how much I really want to be a part of what's next. So, it's a kind of a way of saying thank you to everybody before I move on," he says
Consider us there!
CLICK HERE to find out when and where George is playing.
P.S. You better put back in Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go) and I Want Your Sex!!!! Us Americans LOVE a party, especially when we're going to a concert!
Your set list in the U.S. needs to be all killer and no filler.

Which reminds me Madonna (feat Justin) 4 Minutes is released digitally today in the US. Love, Mariah x
Great. I like him very much. A few days ago, I saw his profile with great photos on "million aire frie nds. com". It seems he is falling in love with a pretty girl.
who cares
This one’s for the Obama Supporters

OMG SO WHEN DO TICKETS GO ON SALE!???????????
Hopefully, he'll stay away from the rest stop bathrooms, and find a younger, more attractive guy to go behind the bushes with. Rock on!
GO LISTEN TO PRETTY.ODD.
IT ROCKS!!!!
I just saw Kymani Marley cover Faith yesterday.
All George Michael's songs are pop classics. Grin included!
Shout out to Nan, who is GM's biggest fan ever, I mean–He had his own wall for pinups in her room.
I hear that George and Obama are gang banging
Perezzz……. Go Leafs Go!!!!!!!
Hillary eats dog ass
Re: The Warden – How is he a deviant? Because he did it outdoors? Or because he solicited someone at a rest stop bathroom? The one Senator that got busted for the same thing is far from the only one who has done it. Look, I'm sick to fucking death of you ultra-Christian Christians who are sooooooo adamantly against homosexuality, yet obviously have no problem GOSSIPING on a homosexual's gossip blog. That's known as hypocrasy, which is also a sin. So you're committing 2 sins complaining about his 1. Under that definition, I'd rather hang with pervs than PRUDES. It's not like George Michael is a pedophile. THAT is true deviance. George only solicited adult men.
Yay!!!!!!!!!! Love him!!!!!!!

I hate George Michael , its people like him that give gays a bad name
How the heck does he get to go to america with the countless drug offences he has against his name?
He needs the money.
OMG I WANT TO GO!
Good heavens! Does he really think he can equal Tony Bennett? Doesn't Tony Bennett possess that very quality George Michael so dearly lacks? You know: class?
Re: gossipmonger – sex in public washrooms is deviant. a child could walk in etc. do you really need to have it explained to you? the senator is deviant too. wake up.
NOT ENOUGH CANADIAN DATES!!!!
my life will finally be complete! wow, i could not be happier right now.
.. is it weird that my aunt convinced me that yog was my father as a kid and i believed her? eesh.
I love his glasses!
lol
WE HAVE ENOUGH NASTY, FILTHY, BUTT PIRATE FAGS IN THIS COUNTRY WITHOUT IMPORTING MORE FROM THE GREAT FAG COUNTRY ENGLAND. NOW NO PUBLIC MENS ROOM IN AMERICA WILL BE SAFE WITH GEORGE AND ALL THE OTHER BUTT RUNNERS USING THEM TO HAVE VILE UNNATURAL SEX IN FRONT OF OUR CHILDREN! NO VISA FOR QUEERS.
I love George: he's so hot! I know that he's gay and my father's age but damn I would let him do very nasty things to me!
So are bathroom stalls and end of an Era? Tony Bennet Did'nt we suffer with that from Elivs costello already?
Oh yeah who invited him to the next generation? And why are teeth like chicklets? So many questions so little time
I hope the tickets are not super expensive.
I love his voice.
Re: The Warden – You sound jealous! You must be undersexed, don't hate him because he is oversexed. Look at him….he drips sex! YUMMMMMM
ahhhhhhhh! YAY!!! ATLANTA/PHILLIPS ARENA BOUND BABY!!! HELL YEAH!
Re: Meg – me too!
The lead singer of Wham! will NEVER COME CLOSE to being the Tony Bennett for his generation. Get over yourself, Mr. Wham!
You fucking americans are so judgemental and that's because you cannot see yourselves in the mirror to appreciate the amount of shit you are involved in.
You make me sick people.
Shut the fuck up and if you don't like it, fuck off.
I love that little pervert!
"George Michael to Tour U.S. - NSA Warns Parents Not to Leave Little Boys Unattended in Public Restrooms"
IMMORAL QUEERS ARE WORST THAN TERRORISTS! UNDERMINING DECENT SOCIETY, CORRUPTING NATURE, SPREADING FILTH AND DISEASE, ANTI-FAMILY VALUES, SELF-LOATHING REPUBLICANS, DESTROYING ALL THINGS GOOD, WHOLESOME AND RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. LEAVE THE QUEERS IN QUEERLAND ENGLAND WHERE THEY BELONG! ALL BRITISH MEN ARE FEY AND EFFEMINATE AS LITTLE GIRLS, THEY CAN'T FIGHT THAT'S WHY THEY LOST THEIR EMPIRE.
I WANT HIS "SEX"!
I saw George Michael in Finland last July and omg, he was awesome. best concert ever.
I am so excited that George Michael will be touring the U.S. I called to find out when tickets will be going on sale at the venue where I live that's on the list and they don't have a confirmation yet. George is my favourite artist! His music touches me like no others. I'm simply ecstatic as seeing him perform has been my dream for years!
Regardless of his personal tendencies or problems, he is a true entertainer, musician, songwriter and singer. His recent tour in UK and Europe proved that - I was lucky to see him in UK and he was just brilliant. I think his reference to Tony Bennet was not that he was comparing himself to being him but his style of performing, ie smaller, cosy gigs for many years to come, rather than massive arena style shows. Bless the boy, he is getting older and I would much rather see him in a lounge style show than 60.000 seater arena!
I love George Michael. How come this information is not yet on his website? I need to see him. What do I need to do to guarantee me some front row tickets in Chicago? I'll do whatever it takes!!! George Michael is my 1st love & I would have paid to see him in the bathroom!!!
Why would a woman get excited over this fag is beyond me. This queer will run over a woman in his Hummer to get to her boyfriend.
Go away, Miss Michaels. You're old and tired and noboby cares.
George Michael used to be the shit back in the day, before all of the drama.
you egotistical little prick - you've got a long way to go and about 40 years before you're anywhere near my success.
Oh my gawd this brings back so many memories! I missed the final Wham tour because they didn't get close enough to me, but I would love to see GM. I really wish Wham would get together for a reunion tour or something; Andrew Ridgeley was/is soooo hot!!! Anyone else remember "if you're gonna do it do it right, do it with me." Awesome song–just makes you wantta get up and shake your ass!
How come these dates are not posted on George Michael's official website? Are these dates really valid?
Will he be performing in the men's room of these arenas or will he actually be onstage? He's such a joke, he's ruined his career. I hope he doesn't sell any tickets. He doesn't deserve success. He pissed it all away!
Re: Pixope –
Stop your g+ddamn'd spam already,
YOU PUT THE BOOM BOOM INTO MY FART!
Saw his show last year in Paris and it was AWESOME!George Michael still got it,don't miss this great chance to see him live!
omg I LOVE GM!
OMG!!!! I AM SOOOO THERE!!!!! GEORGE MICHAEL IS THE ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE!!!!!
Re: Wham was the bomb! – OMG that was the BEST Wham song! I LOOOOOOVE Andrew. I wish they would reunite for a tour.
Sounds like he's planning his suicide. Yikes! I love GM.

I Love G. M.
Add DETROIT to your tour list! we love you George!
I love him. Was so in love with him when I was 13! Took me years to accept that he was gay! One of my biggest hearbreaks! Can't wait to go! Still Love you George!
read the list and hide your male children, the anus is an exit,you colon cowboy,if george comes up behind you and asks,, may i push in your stool,, RUN
george reminds me of the greek army during the war they hated to leave there buddys behind!!!
YAY, he's playing in a toilet near me!!!!
I am SO THERE!!! I would go to every concert if I could! L-O-V-E his George-ness. Thank you so much for the inside info Perez!! You are the best and I am sending you big hugs and kisses! XOXOXOXOXO
I must be old because I LOVE George and I can't wait till he comes to L.A.!! What better excuse to do 80's drugs and party all night!!
Love U George!!!
I can't believe how many 12 year olds, self-loathing fags, people with rotten taste in music, & self-righteous assholes there are on this site. Christ al-fucking-mighty.
George Michael is a true soul crooner, great chops & good songwriting to boot. His seedy'ish personal life just makes him all the more interesting, and all the more REAL and HUMAN.
To the retarded naysayers: lots of people still give a shit about George Michael. Bitch can sing circles around Soulja Boy, Ne-Yo & all that other shit that tries to pass for r 'n b these days.
Hope to GOD he doesn't do "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go", though, as it's really an embarassment on an otherwise pretty fantastic musical career.
I can not wait to rage on the HP pavilion. so you fags there.
Someone better tell Geri Halliwell!
:]
Looooovvvvee that man!! Awsome voice, fun to look at (still hot after all this time), and wonderful songs. I'd see him in a heart beat!!!!
Yeah George!
Re: Finn – I saw him front row in Finland…I was the crazy NYer who waited in line for 7 hours. Well worth the wait…now I just need a few gallons of gas and I am good to go!!!!!
Re: The Warden
WOW, something tells me WARDEN is a Closet Homo. Remember the movie AMERICAN BEAUTY. WARDEN is that Closet case Neighbor that killed Kevin Spacey.
BANK ATLANTIC CENTER HERE I COME!
Great! George Michael is coming to Houston and my fist is all lubed up and ready for his rosebud!
WOW !!!!!!!!! I'm so excited about it !!!!!!!!! I've been a fan for over 20 yrs. I love his music. I had the honor to me him a few times, he's such a sweetheart and so is his partner Kenny.
George, play another show in CHICAGO PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ !!!!!!!
I am so there!!! I have been waiting for a tour forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nc
His teeth look very creepy
I'm so there!
I'm so there!!
i bumped into him here in the city and he told me i looked fabulous…
i didnt even know who he was, my friend had to tell me.
Doesn't he smoke Perez? Ohhh….I get it……it's okay if they smoke if YOU like 'em! hypocrite
I loved George in the 80s. The "faith" video was soooo sexy. He appealed to young, old, men, and women.
Re: LARRY CRAIG – That totally makes no sense at all… none. And if you're so against them, why the hell are you reading Perez Hilton???
Yes - George has serious issues, but you can't deny his music is unbelievably good. Listen to Praying for Time. There are some performers that have voices that are a gift from God. He's one of them. No question he's a whacked out sinner with serious addiction issues - but he's so freakin talented.
God heard me and sent my own personal Jesus back to me!!! The last crappy few years are wiped clean. Love you George!!!!
what! he goes to America and not Australia…come on George, make the distance…we love you out here!
If you needed proof that America is the world's capital of homophobia, look no further than this forum…
This is a post about George's US concert dates, nothing more, nothing less. It's going to be an amazing set, just as it was in Europe, where every date was a sell-out for the better part of a year. He's a world-class performer and probably the best male voice of his generation. I've got my credit card ready!
"P.S. You better put back in Wake Me Up (Before You Go Go)"…
Please Perez, not everyone is into incredibly gay sounding music. His other songs are OK, but let`s skip the Go Go stuff. That song makes "Walking on Sunshine" sound like "Black Dog".
This is the greatest and wosrt possible timing for me… Its been a life long dream to see him in concert… and he will be in my town of VEGAS the exact day I am supposed to March in DC for the RON PAUL FREEDOM MARCH!!!
Im stuck!!!
what do I choose???
http://thingsifuckinghate.wordpress.com/
Crazy Perez content!!
looks like i have work on july4th…
I love George and will definately go to see him. For those who call him a sexual divant…hello he touched himself unlike Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and a whole host of perverts you still support after they assult children. Grow up.
If you are a child of the 80's let go out and support him!!!!!! I love you George
His songs are crappy 80s ditties that lack depth, like him. He sucks as a singer nas no volume or real emotion in his voice and sucks live. Save your money, kids, this guy hasn't had a hit in years.
he's till fine for a gay dude
I CAN NOT WAIT!! I ALREADY MADE PLANS TO SEE HIM IN TAMPA, DC AND NYC! LIFE LONG FAN!
Re: MARISSA –
EASY PEASY MARISSA……..YOU CHOOSE GEORGE OF COURSE!!
I cried and screamed when I found out!
He already did an extensive tour in Europe, 25 Live
Re: The Warden –
Oh, go read your bible and cry over Hucabee dropping out of the race you conservative intolerant asshole.
he's wearing prada sunglasses
