things happen. 195 00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:34,088 For the first time he had a notable debut 196 00:17:34,208 --> 00:17:36,425 Although we had three number ones in America 197 00:17:44,017 --> 00:17:48,076 It was good to see someone coming up with good ideas. 198 00:17:48,196 --> 00:17:50,915 Singing songs dancing... beautiful for us 199 00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:04,665 People judged and I couldn't believe it. 200 00:18:04,785 --> 00:18:10,764 I felt numbed by the thought of what this 20 year old guy was doing. 201 00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:19,975 Come to think of it, the second album doesn't really have a cohesive identity. 202 00:18:20,095 --> 00:18:25,939 It was just the image... which was already consistent enough 203 00:18:32,489 --> 00:18:35,825 I'm sure everyone has an image of themselves 204 00:18:35,945 --> 00:18:38,700 What you can benefit from 205 00:18:42,569 --> 00:18:44,924 "Last Christmas" was a classic example of this. 206 00:18:58,619 --> 00:19:04,156 I was already doing something notable in my 20s, I was both a producer and an arranger. 207 00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:08,011 I knew I had to make these pieces and emerge on the radio 208 00:19:15,261 --> 00:19:21,695 The fact is that he was really burned out with ridiculous shorts and curtain rings in his ears 209 00:19:21,815 --> 00:19:24,971 We actually made people stop noticing these things 210 00:19:25,091 --> 00:19:28,281 Looking back, even now, I think it was amazing... 211 00:20:00,385 --> 00:20:03,639 George Michael's appearance was charming 212 00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:06,965 Because no one had any idea what was coming. 213 00:20:18,561 --> 00:20:21,737 We couldn't understand how Wham could 214 00:20:21,857 --> 00:20:31,597 Taking the concert to an adult world... and we were right 215 00:20:31,717 --> 00:20:35,386 It was brilliant... the whole day was brilliant. 216 00:20:35,506 --> 00:20:41,107 It was a sunny, warm and beautiful day, the audience was very involved and everyone was well dressed. 217 00:20:41,227 --> 00:20:45,786 No hard feelings about this, thank you all very much, not just for today. 218 00:20:45,906 --> 00:20:47,930 This will last for years 219 00:20:48,050 --> 00:20:51,217 Then came the great moment of greeting the success of the concert 220 00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:57,449 An advertising campaign says they have sold 40 million copies 221 00:20:57,569 --> 00:20:59,990 Thus announcing that it will be a multi-million dollar affair 222 00:21:05,974 --> 00:21:07,908 I didn't like it as much as other programs 223 00:21:08,028 --> 00:21:12,755 I say this because I tend to get very involved and this was difficult for me. 224 00:21:12,875 --> 00:21:18,181 I still think that once it's finished it's enough 225 00:21:18,301 --> 00:21:24,507 Public demand is good, but it was difficult for me to undertake it 226 00:21:24,627 --> 00:21:30,326 It ended on a good time in the climax.. yes that's what people remember 227 00:21:30,446 --> 00:21:32,706 Just very fun music 228 00:21:36,572 --> 00:21:40,068 You never told me you didn't like me like the others 229 00:21:40,188 --> 00:21:43,446 I really don't remember it being that exaggerated. 230 00:21:52,438 --> 00:21:59,256 I was tired of being that lucky guy because next to George Michael 231 00:21:59,376 --> 00:22:01,364 I think there was something more to it than that. 232 00:22:01,484 --> 00:22:07,039 Thank you all and especially George 233 00:22:10,044 --> 00:22:15,238 You know...if I was reaching those levels that I always thought I would reach 234 00:22:15,358 --> 00:22:19,945 There was no way to get a meal prepared 235 00:22:20,065 --> 00:22:23,143 There was no way it was going to be too hard for Andrew. 236 00:22:23,263 --> 00:22:30,903 I understood that our relationship had to reach different levels ehmmm 237 00:22:31,023 --> 00:22:33,932 And that was hard you know. 238 00:22:34,052 --> 00:22:39,174 And I had no idea how much I would miss that support 239 00:22:39,294 --> 00:22:45,364 Or how crazy I felt without that support 240 00:23:00,533 --> 00:23:04,443 It was bright a bit like Elvis Presley's style of dressing 241 00:23:04,563 --> 00:23:09,824 The fact that people danced like a rock song brilliant movements 242 00:23:12,031 --> 00:23:16,804 So many people at my school who liked Rock music 243 00:23:16,924 --> 00:23:19,692 There were many people involved who didn't like rock music. 244 00:23:20,123 --> 00:23:23,458 I mean it was a huge success in both America and Europe. 245 00:23:23,578 --> 00:23:26,681 I was not surprised that this made him a very rich man... 246 00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:43,328 I was a little delusional, I knew I was moving towards a more adult way of making music. 247 00:23:43,448 --> 00:23:51,657 But I couldn't fool myself into thinking that I attracted girls of all generations with my image. 248 00:23:58,009 --> 00:24:02,167 If you think about it, you would tell me that you are waiting to move your ass in front of the camera 249 00:24:04,845 --> 00:24:06,568 Well, it's a nice ass then..... 250 00:24:06,688 --> 00:24:09,936 FAITH' was another number one album in the UK, but for one week. 251 00:24:10,056 --> 00:24:12,775 But there was another number one album in America and for 12 weeks 252 00:24:12,895 --> 00:24:17,792 Sold 10 million albums and had 4 number one singles 253 00:24:17,912 --> 00:24:21,808 And another number two and number five from that album 'FAITH' 254 00:24:21,928 --> 00:24:25,836 He was the biggest pop star in 1988 255 00:24:31,792 --> 00:24:36,879 They go down a little with the bad tour number two to tell the truth 256 00:24:42,675 --> 00:24:47,431 I think they've overrated "FAITH" a little. 257 00:24:47,551 --> 00:24:50,755 Because this happens in America when you become famous I guess 258 00:24:50,875 --> 00:24:55,974 People write things like wait a minute, but is it really that big? 259 00:24:58,396 --> 00:25:04,786 This type of hysteria comes four nights a week then on stage and you find that 260 00:25:04,906 --> 00:25:08,896 Your security fights a little with your friends 261 00:25:09,016 --> 00:25:11,423 Because they would want you with them in the city 262 00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:15,346 The 'FAITH' period was unique, I thought... oh, he's going to be a pop star... 263 00:25:15,466 --> 00:25:20,417 Oh it doesn't matter when he arrives and has everyone around him 264 00:25:23,645 --> 00:25:29,377 Not even your friends feel the same as at home 265 00:25:29,497 --> 00:25:32,476 So here you start to think with your head 266 00:25:41,263 --> 00:25:46,693 It was a little surreal because we spent a lot of time in Los Angeles. 267 00:25:46,813 --> 00:25:53,024 And you know he was one of the superstars 268 00:25:53,854 --> 00:26:03,734 George “I want your sex” so be my father image and I will be confident. 269 00:26:03,854 --> 00:26:14,612 Living the good life... Ladies and Gentlemen here at "Diva Himself" George Michael! ! ! 270 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,788 I was smart enough to realize I was going down the wrong path. 271 00:26:49,908 --> 00:26:55,642 In the sense that if I was looking for happiness I shouldn't try to catch up 272 00:26:55,762 --> 00:26:58,492 With Michael Jackson or Madonna or others 273 00:26:58,612 --> 00:27:01,530 But that was absolutely my intention as an English star 274 00:27:01,650 --> 00:27:08,633 The money of the women chess players was a wonderful adventure 275 00:27:08,753 --> 00:27:13,142 But I don't think there was any way to control my ego enough 276 00:27:13,262 --> 00:27:17,122 A way that prevented me from exploring the possibility 277 00:27:17,242 --> 00:27:19,786 Be the best-selling artist in the world 278 00:27:31,524 --> 00:27:42,242 The album of the year is: 'FAITH' George Michael....George Michael ! ! ! 279 00:27:47,518 --> 00:27:51,662 It's very interesting to be behind something for 10 months 280 00:27:51,782 --> 00:27:55,202 What I really did with "FAITH 281 00:27:55,322 --> 00:27:58,263 I felt like I was going crazy like people said 282 00:28:01,698 --> 00:28:10,784 Oh my God I'm a big star It was so Oh my God I'm a big star 283 00:28:10,904 --> 00:28:13,762 And I think I'm queer, but what am I going to do? 284 00:28:18,101 --> 00:28:20,952 This won't end well 285 00:28:24,351 --> 00:28:30,902 This was the crux of the absolute issue I was dealing with 286 00:28:31,022 --> 00:28:36,829 With a new relationship with the celebrity that didn't destroy me you know 287 00:28:36,949 --> 00:28:43,850 The decision was made in 1990.....non to promote 288 00:28:43,970 --> 00:28:49,330 He knew that if that was the case it was not a beneficial thing. 289 00:28:49,450 --> 00:28:52,484 So he put it out of his mind for the moment. 290 00:28:52,604 --> 00:28:58,350 He explained to the record company that it was something he had to do 291 00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:01,718 And most accepted but not America 292 00:29:01,838 --> 00:29:06,652 Absolutely a coup for me something that would have made 200 million dollars 293 00:29:06,772 --> 00:29:09,156 How do you tell the world that you are fed up with it? 294 00:29:09,276 --> 00:29:15,220 An American way of doing things is to syndicate the level of your success 295 00:29:27,273 --> 00:29:30,768 I was very honest with Sony, one of the reasons we ended up in court. 296 00:29:30,888 --> 00:29:34,087 It is precisely because I was honest with them as to why I had no intention of acting 297 00:29:34,207 --> 00:29:38,047 Without prejudice, but if they had no intention 298 00:29:38,167 --> 00:29:40,498 They would have told me but they didn't tell me anything 299 00:29:40,618 --> 00:29:44,976 We had lunch together and everyone told me it was a great album. 300 00:29:45,096 --> 00:29:50,367 And he went back to New York and told everyone... this is George Michael in Nebraska 301 00:29:50,487 --> 00:29:56,746 What was a Bruce Springsteen album from the 80s that he recorded in four parts? 302 00:29:56,866 --> 00:30:00,234 So nothing because it was completely unexpected 303 00:30:00,354 --> 00:30:04,558 I presented it without hearing prejudice saying I'm sorry but I wasn't in Nebraska 304 00:30:04,678 --> 00:30:09,749 This philosophy was missing by not promoting the album 305 00:30:09,869 --> 00:30:16,482 Without providing the video for the first single, this is what it was 306 00:30:16,602 --> 00:30:19,453 Let's not forget that it was a personal problem 307 00:30:19,573 --> 00:30:24,512 That a manager of an American record company 308 00:30:24,632 --> 00:30:28,734 She insulted him deeply with a lack of respect 309 00:30:28,854 --> 00:30:36,297 A type of rejection that would have made friendship impossible, let's say. 310 00:30:37,164 --> 00:30:44,341 No, I was totally naive, open, honest and sincere. 311 00:30:44,461 --> 00:30:46,608 That justified the division. 312 00:30:49,101 --> 00:30:50,667 What an idiot! ! ! 313 00:31:01,352 --> 00:31:07,396 What resulted from my beautiful ideas of having five fantastic supermodels 314 00:31:07,516 --> 00:31:09,371 that people still want to see 315 00:31:10,096 --> 00:31:13,604 If you tell the recording company no, I won't be in this video. 316 00:31:13,724 --> 00:31:18,582 It would be a nice consolation prize to meet those five beautiful girls 317 00:31:32,865 --> 00:31:38,329 At that time the relationship with the United States had already ended, you know. 318 00:31:38,449 --> 00:31:42,056 So Liberty passed twelfth in the US. 319 00:31:42,589 --> 00:31:46,340 Normally I would have been a little depressed and angry 320 00:31:46,460 --> 00:31:49,459 But I had just returned from Brazil 321 00:31:49,579 --> 00:31:51,711 With immense satisfaction 322 00:31:51,831 --> 00:31:55,352 So everything else didn't seem too important to me at the time. 323 00:31:55,472 --> 00:32:02,716 The night of my first Rock in Rio concert at the Maracaná Stadium 160,000 people 324 00:32:02,836 --> 00:32:05,933 I had never performed in front of so many people. 325 00:32:06,053 --> 00:32:09,030 But in front of these 160,000 people 326 00:32:09,150 --> 00:32:12,720 There was a guy who appeared to the right of the stage 327 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,957 And his appearance and manners caught my attention. 328 00:32:16,077 --> 00:32:23,551 He was so nice that it was very distracting for me while I was away from the stage at the time. 329 00:32:23,671 --> 00:32:27,686 To think that with Anselmo was really the moment my life changed 330 00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:41,512 I thought I had found someone to truly fall in love with. 331 00:32:41,632 --> 00:32:44,293 Instead of just having your body for a while you know 332 00:32:44,413 --> 00:32:54,060 For the first six months of our relationship I thought it could last a lifetime. 333 00:32:57,043 --> 00:33:01,085 It was taken for granted that everyone other than my family 334 00:33:01,205 --> 00:33:05,011 Everyone got to know him very quickly 335 00:33:05,131 --> 00:33:10,186 Ehmm..because I immediately felt that everything had changed 336 00:33:10,306 --> 00:33:14,583 It is very difficult to feel proud of one's sexuality. 337 00:33:14,703 --> 00:33:16,563 If it didn't bring you joy 338 00:33:16,683 --> 00:33:24,004 Once it is associated with joy and love, it is easy to be proud of it 339 00:33:25,677 --> 00:33:29,447 People will find it hard to believe, but Anselm and I didn't hide... 340 00:33:29,567 --> 00:33:35,231 You know we've reached the level that...

I couldn't believe how that man did it. 450 00:47:23,753 --> 00:47:29,502 It didn't come out for a year or more but we were lucky enough to enjoy the other albums 451 00:47:34,027 --> 00:47:36,776 As far as I'm concerned, the album was great. 452 00:47:36,896 --> 00:47:38,868 With a nice graphic ad 453 00:48:15,061 --> 00:48:19,444 In a certain optimism that I later demonstrated 454 00:48:19,564 --> 00:48:31,348 I can say that I tried my best 455 00:48:46,456 --> 00:48:51,687 I can't imagine that an artist who has sold even outside of America 456 00:48:51,807 --> 00:48:54,566 Lost the American public 457 00:48:54,686 --> 00:49:00,789 I understood why journalists had stopped talking about it because it was shady 458 00:49:04,430 --> 00:49:09,389 I don't want to give names but I believe with certainty that they were people who were looking for 459 00:49:09,509 --> 00:49:13,249 Make American companies aware that they do have a contract 460 00:49:13,369 --> 00:49:18,349 And that the music industry pays artists fairly 461 00:49:18,469 --> 00:49:20,638 It's easy to get blacklisted 462 00:49:20,758 --> 00:49:25,994 Of course I disappeared but not from the rest of the world, in fact in other places it was going very well 463 00:49:26,114 --> 00:49:30,236 In fact I sold about 8 or 9 million records. 464 00:49:33,419 --> 00:49:37,940 Whatever happened, what mattered was the fact that he couldn't 465 00:49:38,060 --> 00:49:42,204 Consider America in the 90s first about my activities 466 00:49:42,324 --> 00:49:46,265 Definitely within the second half of the production of my album 467 00:49:46,385 --> 00:49:48,209 I became a happy man again 468 00:49:48,329 --> 00:49:53,644 We are attracted to this very famous image, not gay or anything like that. 469 00:49:53,764 --> 00:50:02,875 Our relationship was mainly based on conversation, going to dinner together. 470 00:50:02,995 --> 00:50:06,057 I wasn't sure it was him. I wasn't looking for a musical family. 471 00:50:06,177 --> 00:50:07,978 No, I don't believe that for a second. 472 00:50:08,098 --> 00:50:11,341 I believed it before but now I know it 473 00:50:11,461 --> 00:50:15,620 Actually, he was the one who asked me out and said, shall we have dinner together? I do, yes. 474 00:50:15,740 --> 00:50:23,112 I wasn't sure if he was gay at our first dinner together. 475 00:50:23,232 --> 00:50:26,422 I think he was embarrassed to admit it. 476 00:50:26,542 --> 00:50:30,752 The second night we went out I was sure he was gay. 477 00:50:30,872 --> 00:50:38,818 From the third time I thought my life was changing drastically again. 478 00:50:39,632 --> 00:50:44,591 Everyone knew that we went to the restaurant hand in hand and everywhere on the street 479 00:50:44,711 --> 00:50:49,996 When I asked him he answered...I'm gay 480 00:50:50,116 --> 00:50:54,119 The first half of the 90s were shit for me. 481 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:59,325 And in 1996 everything changed for the better, thank you very much. 482 00:51:52,385 --> 00:51:56,600 I remember the bad times very vividly 483 00:52:02,345 --> 00:52:10,618 I really missed singing that night, but I was so happy my mom was there... 484 00:52:10,738 --> 00:52:16,366 I am so happy that for the first and only time in my life 485 00:52:16,486 --> 00:52:19,329 I was able to say goodbye to my mother in front of my audience 486 00:52:25,176 --> 00:52:29,817 And that was the last time you saw me sing 487 00:52:41,939 --> 00:52:49,501 So I remember that night fondly because I know she was very proud of me. 488 00:53:23,690 --> 00:53:29,157 The death of his mother was a hard blow just after Anselmo 489 00:53:29,277 --> 00:53:35,089 It was a doubly deep sorrow. George suffered greatly for the people he loved. 490 00:53:35,209 --> 00:53:38,243 I think a week after we met 491 00:53:38,363 --> 00:53:42,358 Talking to his mother he told her that he had met me 492 00:53:42,478 --> 00:53:50,186 His mother was not very happy but there were no strange scenes 493 00:53:50,306 --> 00:54:00,813 I had a little spot here on my shoulder. 494 00:54:00,933 --> 00:54:03,765 And you know you don't pay attention to these things 495 00:54:03,885 --> 00:54:11,636 In a way, if your glass is half empty, you say, "Oh my God, I have to get to work." 496 00:54:11,756 --> 00:54:15,595 The man you are in love with again is a part of the disaster 497 00:54:15,715 --> 00:54:23,087 I see that with Anselmo it was as if he could give me what I needed 498 00:54:23,207 --> 00:54:26,421 Just when I needed it 499 00:54:26,541 --> 00:54:36,708 He was so attached to his mother but it didn't bother me the time was always there for me 500 00:54:36,828 --> 00:54:47,491 He was also always a person who kept things to himself and it's a little sad to say. 501 00:54:47,611 --> 00:54:49,527 Unfortunately, my mother had melanoma... 502 00:54:49,647 --> 00:54:56,858 Melanoma would be skin cancer. An unpleasant way, unfortunately. 503 00:54:56,978 --> 00:55:06,370 I think he actually knew that he still had little survival 504 00:55:06,490 --> 00:55:08,074 Much less than 505 00:55:08,194 --> 00:55:13,109 At that moment I had little to say...
