«George Michael sobre a sua vida: "Tudo foi uma perda de tempo, um desperdício de esforço"
O canal britânico Channel 4 vai estrear um documentário sobre o artista.
George Michael considerava que a sua vida tinha sido "uma perda de tempo, um desperdício de esforço". A revelação foi feita pelo artista britânico numa entrevista à MTV, que faz parte do documentário "George Michael: Freedom", cuja estreia está marcada para a próxima segunda-feira, 16 de outubro, no canal britânico Channel 4.
O documentário ficou concluído 48 horas antes da morte de George Michael e a entrevista em que o artista revela como gostaria de ser recordado foi acrescentada depois do seu falecimento. "Espero que as pessoas pensem em mim como alguém que tinha alguma integridade. Espero ser lembrado por isso, de certa forma", frisa o britânico, acrescentando que "é pouco provável" porque tudo foi "uma perda de tempo".
O documentário "George Michael: Freedom" conta também com a participação de vários colegas e amigos do músico, como Liam Gallagher, Mark Ronson, Mary J.Blige, Nile Rodgers, Tony Bennett, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, James Corden e Ricky Gervais.
O cantor morreu a 25 de dezembro de 2016, aos 53 anos, na sua casa em Oxfordshire, Inglaterra, onde foi encontrado pelo namorado, Fadi Fawaz. No início de março, foi revelado pelo médico legista Darren Salter que o artista sofreu uma "cardiomiopatia dilatada com miocardite e fígado gordo". "A investigação à morte de George Michael foi concluída e o resultado final da autópsia confirma a morte por causas naturais", acrescentou.
Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou — nome do cantor — nasceu num bairro londrino em 1963 e tornou-se uma estrela mundial nos anos 1980.
Durante a carreira de quase quatro décadas, vendeu mais de 100 milhões de discos em todo o mundo. Em 1981, com Andrew Ridgeley, criou os Wham!, duo que ficou conhecido por temas como "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" ou "Last Christmas". Em nome próprio, deixou temas como "Careless Whisper", "Faith" ou "Outside".
George Michael atuou apenas a solo uma vez em Portugal, em 2007, no Estádio Municipal de Coimbra, por ocasião dos 25 anos de carreira.
A morte do cantor desencadeou uma onda de reconhecimento do talento musical e do trabalho com organizações de solidariedade, incluindo de apoio a doentes de SIDA, cancro e à organização Childline, que presta aconselhamento confidencial por telefone a jovens.» in http://mag.sapo.pt/showbiz/artigos/george-michael-sobre-a-sua-vida-tudo-foi-uma-perda-de-tempo-um-desperdicio-de-esforco

"Freedom 90
I won't let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Cause I would really, really love to stick around
Oh, yeah
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be?
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same (no way)
Think I'm gonna get me some happy
I think there's something you should know
(I think it's time I told you so)
There's something deep inside of me
(There's someone else I've got to be)
Take back your picture in a frame
(Take back your singing in the rain)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Yeah, yeah
Freedom
(I won't let you down)
Freedom
(I will not give you up)
Freedom
(Gotta have some faith in the sound)
You've gotta give for what you take
(It's the one good thing that I've got)
Freedom
(I won't let you down)
Freedom
(So please don't give me up)
Freedom
(Cause I would really, really love to stick around)
You've gotta give for what you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
(We were living in a fantasy)
We won the race, got out of the place
I went back home, got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change (oh, yeah)
Now I'm gonna get myself happy
I think there's something you should know
(I think it's time I stopped the show)
There's something deep inside of me
(There's someone I forgot to be)
Take back your picture in a frame
(Don't think that I'll be back again)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Yeah, yeah
Freedom
(I won't let you down)
Freedom
(I will not give you up)
Freedom
(gotta have some faith in the sound)
You've gotta give for what you take
(It's the one good thing that I've got)
Freedom
(I won't let you down)
Freedom
(So please don't give me up)
Freedom
(Cause I would really, really love to stick around)
You've gotta give for what you take
Well, it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass, they notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last
That's what you get
That's what you get
That's what you get
I say that's what you get
That's what you get for changing your mind
(That's what you get for changing your mind)
That's what you get
That's what you get
(And after all this time)
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Yeah, yeah
Freedom
(Oh)
Freedom
(My)
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
(I'll hold on to my)
Freedom
(My)
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take"
