Drugs are bad, bad, bad!
George Michael screwed himself out of a big award with his recent cocaine-related arrest.
The singer was set to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Music award at next years Brits, but the award show bosses have reported now decided to find another candidate after the bust.
Hope you're really getting your shiz together this time round, George!

Re: AgainToday – Re: Girth Vader – your jinxing yourselves
What a load of bollocks. Didn't they give it to Oasis who were self confessed coke users and once said they wished Damon Albarn from Blur would 'die of Aids'?
It's a both a bit rich and late for the pop industry to start getting on their high "horse" (get the drugs pun? Geddit?) over drugs whilst people like Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse still have recording contracts….
This is why all the no talent people are getting away with being famous, cause all the talented onez are drugged the fuck up! Why? I don't get it :-/ George WAKE UP!!!
I used to love Wham when I was a kid. Always singing and dancing to their songs. The 80's were the best years ever.
I heard their gonna give it to Amy Winehouse instead
Oh, but, if he were Amy Winehouse…..
Fuck that big homo !!!!
He need the toot to keep the poop chute loose!
Oh, poor George. His music was a significant part of the soundtrack of my adolescence. Even if he is a drug addicted skank, I'll still always love him.
You ask me, that's a pretty hypocritical thing to do. The music industry supports the drug industry behind the scenes, practically encourages it. Besides, WTF does his personal trouble have to do with his contribution to music? That's just petty. And perez, with your stupid tough love BS, sometimes I can't wait til you end up a cracked-up has been and see how it feels . . .
HOW EMBARRASSING , OH DEAR !
Re: Naughty_Baby_Harley –
I totally agree with you. What does that have to do with anything ?
That's really unfair and a useless humiliation.
THATS CRAP THEY SHOULD GIVE IT TO HIM ANYWAY.WHAT MAJOR SUPERSTAR HASNT BEEN ON DRUGS???SO FUCKING WHAT GIVE IT TO HIM ANYWAY,WHO CARES.
that's reprehensible!
his drug arrest doesn't take away from the fact that he's sold millions of records and touched millions of lives with his music!
we love him and appreciate him no matter what flubs he makes in his personal life.
rooting for you George!
that is such bullshit… he didn't get into trouble until after all his hits were in the past…
Oh for heaven's sake, who are they going to give the awards to if they toss people out for drug use? These are professional musicians/pop stars we're talking about here; who's left, the Jonas brothers?
Oh, George you deserve that award. Try to get off drugs.
Good I'm glad he's not getting a Brit, he doesn't deserve it regardless of if he's a crackhead.
George Micheal had a lot of success in the 80's with Wham,
and even more success with his solo efforts.
But he hasn't done anything in yrs,at least nothing that would make him deserving of a Lifetime Acheivement Award.
George Micheal is always so coked up,that he seems to forget that the 80's are long gone.
I can't say I feel sorry for him,seeing as he has more money than I will ever see in a lifetime.
I don't blame George Micheal for sniffing his sorrows away,as he's been a has been for yrs.
his work is brilliant and his voice is amazing. with award or without it…
ok, seriously? a lifetime ACHIEVEMENT award?
I'm sure he's devastated! lol. I'm pretty sure that, based on how amazing he is and how fantastic a voice he has, that a lame award like that is nothing short of ridiculous to him.
and the only reason the "award show bosses" have announced this is to drum up ratings to see who got the award in George's place!
freaking ridiculous.
That's just WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!
What I may ask does his talent as a musician have to do with what he does in his private life???? Yes, he has made poor choices in his personal life, but truthfully… it is none of our business (he is not hurting you or me, is he now?). The only person he is accountable to is his long suffering partner Kenny. And if Kenny tolerates his behaviour, than that's that!
:(
I think he should still get his award what happened has nothing to do with his talent he has such a beautiful voice. It would have been well deserved…
Wow thats pretty Stupid Considering almost all His Concerts were Sold Out! This Man is so Talented and since when does Music have anything to do with Personal life? Many Big hit Artist Were or Are On Drugs. George Michael Deserves This Award no matter what..Its Not like he Killed some1 or did any1 any Harm. They didnt even say he was High on anything when they busted him for the Crack and weed. Kinda lame. Go George Michael!
The snub is because he is a tearoom queen who happens to use drugs
