The finest compilation ever made!

(10/10)
Pete Waterman once said that the biggest mistakes "his" starlets and pop stars make is "aspiring to be George Michael over night when in fact there could only be one George Michael". The all-knowing Pete Waterman in this statement was mostly referring to the versatile talent that God has given to George Michael, a talent that begins with his incredible penmanship of his lyrics, deep enough to inspire thought and yet set accordingly within the parameters of good taste, and his distinctive voice that goes down like fine Parisian truffles, making us yearn for more.

I am hardly an obsessed fan of George Michael but I must say I have always appreciated his music. This CD has been playing in my car for almost five years now and I have no intensions of replacing it. Well, maybe with a new one since this one is getting to be pretty beat up.

I'll tell you what keeps me going back to listening to this wonderful mix of slow (my favourites) and dance numbers. It's the careful crafmanship of how this music was created. Nothing here happens by chance. The entire arrangment of all instrumental pieces falls right into place with the lyrics. Boy, how I adore the track "Cowboys and Angels", I could listen to it over and over again that I'm getting a little embarassed.

I wish George Michael could release his music more often but I suppose he isn't inspired much these days.
