Wow! George Michael Records Beautiful Cover Of Stevie Wonder Classic For Prince William & Kate!

This is really quite lovely! What a wonderful song! Excellent choice!

During the week, George Michael revealed via his Twitter that he wanted to record a song to commemorate the upcoming royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. He had asked his fans for suggestions, but as we learned from George last night on his appearance on Piers Morgan Tonight, he actually picked this song himself.

Have a look and listen to the video (above) to hear George explain to Piers why he choose the song and listen to his beautiful cover of Stevie Wonder's You & I!

The track is available to download for free via his website, so CLICK HERE if you'd like a copy for yourself.

Lovely! We hope William and Kate hear it and love it as well!

Consider it a "wedding gift"!

On his Twitter page yesterday, George Michael announced that he's had the royal wedding on the brain and wanted to do something special to commemorate the happy day for Prince William and Kate Middleton. He reached out to his followers for a brainstorming session, posting in multiple tweets:

"I have been thinking about Will and Kate…. and I'm so happy for William… the whole country is getting ready to party! Let's have our own celebration twitter style…..

Instead of Song of the Day, let's pick a song I can give to you on here sometime this week. I'll grab my piano player and bob's your uncle… Wedding gift and bank holiday thank u to my twitter lovelies rolled into one.

I'll do the vocals at home… Come on boyz n girls…what song should it be? Oh and it can't be one of mine, they are all a bit too sad….no sniggering and agreeing, you at the back!"

After getting what we imagine were dozens of good ideas, George revealed he had decided on a "beautiful song," and would unveil his rendition of it on Friday!

Exciting! Staying tuned for that!

Any idea of what song he might sing? Got one U'd like him to sing?

George Michael Denies Reports That He And BF Split!

george-michael-denies-break-up-with-kenny-goss

Well, we guess that settles that confusion!

Reports surfaced this morning that George Michael and his partner of 15 years, Kenny Goss, had broken up due to the singer's issues with drugs, but apparently, it couldn't be farther from the truth!

An insider allegedly reported:

'There are only so many second chances Kenny was prepared to give. He's been loyal to George from day one, but that hasn't always been reciprocated. It's really sad, but hopefully this could be the wake-up call George needs.'

However, Michael himself took to Twitter and wrote:

'Would someone Tweet 5wrightstuff and tell them the Sun is lying through its teeth as usual.'

And he must have been extra upset about the whole thing, because he then called the station and told them personally:

'It is complete bullshit about myself and Kenny breaking up. Don't believe this story. We've had our problems but he's never had a problem with my lifestyle. I love Kenny very much.'

Phew! We were going to say that after everything Michael has been through, it would seem strange to us that Kenny would leave him NOW!

Glad to hear that they're still going strong, and that this whole matter's been cleared up!

Perry And Elton Not Joining X Factor

cowell shortens x factor list

The list for Simon Cowell's X Factor is getting smaller and smaller, as we continue to get reports of who ISN'T going to be hosting, rather than who IS.

Latest axes come in the form of Katy Perry and Elton John!

Here's what's being said about the two:

But California Gurl Katy Perry is not, Cowell confirmed.

And while George Michael has a spot on the short list, another British recording artist — Sir Elton John — doesn’t, contrary to rumors. “He’s so grumpy nowadays,” Cowell notes with apparently no sense of irony. “He’d be moaning the whole time.”

Bummer!

So who's still on the short list?

Well, we know George Michael is. Others include Paula Abdul, Mariah Carey, Pussycat Dolls frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger, Cheryl Cole, and maybe some other mysteries!

Our money's on PEREZ!!

Sorry Katy and Elton!

Thoughts on who the judges should be??

Prince's Super Bowl Concert Canceled Due To Lack Of Funds!!

prince-super-bowl-concert-canceled.jpg

Bummer!

A Super Bowl benefit show featuring Prince and Erykah Badu was canceled on Friday after its financial backing fell through.

The event was organized by The Goss-Michael Foundation, a group founded by George Michael and his longtime partner Kenny Goss.

However, on Friday, organizers announced that the show switched venutes shortly before canceling the event all together.

Organizer, River Alexander Group, "was unable to fund and produce the evening. Up the very last minute, they assured us the 'show would go on,'" according to Joyce Goss, executive director of the foundation.

Sources say the real problem came when organizers were unable to pay for Prince and his band to travel to the concert.

The insider adds, "Prince is extremely disappointed that the organisers were unable to bring him and his band to Dallas. They say that apparently they lost their investors and were unable to adequately fund the event."

Awww. Such a disappointment! We bet a lot of those concertgoers are upset they can't see Prince. We'd be mad too!
