When a non-fan likes the concert, you know it had to be good:

It’s infectious, you know. My husband and I went along to this show because a friend called last-minute with free tickets. We sat in the nosebleeds (literally, five rows from the top) and proceeded to poke fun at everything before the lights went down. But a couple of songs in, I was ready to dance like it was 1989 again, because here I must admit, I was at the Faith tour, screaming alongside thousands of rabid teenage girls. This couldn’t possibly measure up, right?

So wrong. Throngs of other moms, dads, gay guys, straight guys, girls-night-out groups and other types danced from the moment the first note sounded ’til the lights came up, about two and a half hours later. As I might have said when I was 14: OMG, that was awesome.

George Michael Teeses His Fans:

When the British pop singer launches his 25 Live tour tonight in San Diego, he’ll also debut a new video during his performance of “Feeling Good,” the song he performed on the finale of ABC’s Eli Stone.

The LA Times has a new interview with George Michael entitled “George Michael Embraces his Dualities.”

George Michael has announced two major concerts in London to mark the end of his 25 Live Tour, labelling the dates at Earl’s Court in August “The Final Two.”  You may remember that the final concert for Wham! in 1986 was called “The Final.” 

It is a nod to his sell-out Wembley Stadium show, The Final, with Andrew Ridgeley in 1986 – when he brought the curtain down on Wham!
