Wham Week Survives

In light of some negative comments, I think we should quickly roll on with the positive Wham posts



Let's address the first issue first

Why Wham! Is Better Than George Michael's Solo Work

And don't think I don't have coherent, pursuasive arguements. Because I do.

First of all, seeing as GM wrote all the Wham! songs, his solo career started years before he went solo. And the Wham songs were the highlight of his entire career, whether officially solo, or still having Andrew along pretending to play the guitar.

Facts:

When George went solo he:

- Got a lot more serious
- Stopped wearing silly shirts
- Stopped rapping
- Eventually started sitting on stools instead of dancing
- Pretended Wham never happened

George was a great rapper, as illustrated in the seminal Wham Rap (Enjoy What You Do). In those days, you felt he really DID enjoy what he did, even though he probably didn't. He probably wanted to be a serious artist all along. But that's beyond the point. Wham were so pop it wasn't funny, George Michael is so adult contemporary it's not funny.

And don't get all spastic on me, George probably spent as much time on Club Tropicana as he did on Jesus To A Child.
