I hope to see you again... soon
Chegámos a Coimbra por volta das 11 e 30h. O primeiro objectivo estava cumprido: chegar cedo para arranjar um bom lugar para estacionar e almoçar nas calmas. Conseguimos um lugar mesmo em frente à porta 5A que, chatice das chatices, até era a nossa e rumámos para o almoço. Todos concordámos que o almoço devia ser bem servido, e depois se nos desse a fome para o jantar ficávamos bem com um cachorro já dentro do estádio. No Bai-à-Lota, por 6 euros cada um tivemos direito a: pão, azeitonas, sopa, prato de carne ou peixe e fruta! Muito fixe, com um ar muito moderno mas com uma comidinha caseira muito boa, e o preço também ajudou! Sim, onde é que em Lisboa se almoça isto tudo por este preço?! 



A segunda parte foi dedicada a alguns temas mais conhecidos e a cada música havia explosões de cor no mega ecran, efeitos visuais brutais que ajudaram a um grande espectáculo. Para o encore, após duas horas de música e 18 temas, ficou Careless Wisper e Freedom que tal como ele mesmo disse, é a coisa mais importante do momento. No dia em que o pai fazia anos, o terceiro objectivo estava cumprido: assistir ao concerto pelo qual esperei a minha vida toda!

Young Guns (go for it) - Wham
Well I hadn't seen your face around town a while,
Young Guns,
Hey sucker,
A married man?
Young Guns,
I remember when we had such fun and everthing was fine,
"Hey tell this jerk to take a hike,
OoooooH!
GET BACK

Come On - Wham
Chorus
Come On, Everybody!
Get on, with your party!
And don't let nobody say you're wrong.
O.K.
So you've lost control,
But they'll never steal your soul
No way!
That they're gonna spoil your fun.
Greedy men, in far off places,
Don't be afraid to show your faces.
We know what you've done is wrong,
But clap your hands, and sing along now!
Don't even bother, to let us know,
When you flick the switch and stop the show,
Because the party has begun,
And we'll still be dancing, as-you-run-now!
Chorus
Oh no, don't think that I'm not scared,
Oh no, don't think that I'm prepared.
I just take each day as it comes,
Because it may - it may -,
It may be the last one!
I know they don't care about me,
I ain't got no money, ain't a V.I.P.
And I know they don't care about you,
You may - as well - enjoy your life like I do!
Chorus

Club Tropicana - Wham
Let me take you to the place
Where membership's a smiling face,
Brush shoulders with the stars,
Where strangers take you by the hand,
And welcome you to wonderland -
From beneath their panamas...
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!
Castaways and lovers meet,
Then kiss in Tropicana's heat,
Watch the waves break on the bay.
Oh, soft white sands, a blue lagoon,
Cocktail time, a summer's tune,
A whole night's holiday !
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight.
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!
Pack your bags,
And leave tonight
Don't take your time,
Gotta move your feet, don't you miss the flight!
Cool, cool, cool, cool
Club Tropicana drinks are free,
Fun and sunshine-there's enough for everyone.
All that's missing is the sea,
But don't worry, you can suntan!
Cool, cool, cool, cool
Cool, cool, cool, cool

Hell,

Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife
I've found my groove, and I just can't lose
A1, Style from head to toe
Cool cat flash, gonna let you know
I'm a soul boy-I'm a dole boy
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!
(REFRAIN)
Party nights, and neon lights
We hit the floors, we hit the heights
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot-damn! Everybody, let's play!
So they promised you a good job-NO WAY!
One, Two, Three Rap!
C'mon Everybody, DON'T NEED THIS CRAP!
(REFRAIN)
IF YOU'RE A PUB MAN, OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLACK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI

DON'T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY GIVE A WHAM GIVE A BAM BUT DON'T
GIVE A DAMN
COS THE BENEFIT GANG ARE GONNA PAY!
Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break your mama's heart
It's gonna break your daddy's heart
But you'll throw the dice, take my advice
Because I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing?

Love Machine - Wham
I'm just a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you
I'm just a love machine
A huggin', kissin' fiend
-
I think it's high time you knew
Whenever I think of you, my mind blows a fuse (baby)
When I look in your eyes, my meter starts to rise
And I become confused
My voltage regulator cools, when I'm sitting next to you
Electricity starts to flow, and my indicator starts to glow - Wooo

(REFRAIN)
Na, na na na na, na na na na, woo-woo-wooNa, na na na na, na na na na, na naaah

(REFRAIN)
I'm gentle as a lamb, I'm not that hard to programme
There's no way that you can lose
My chassis fits like a glove, I've got a button for love
That you have got to useIf you look into my file, I am sure you can find out how
To turn me on just set my dial, and let me love you for a little while - ooh

A Ray of Sunshine - Wham
Can't you see i'm ready to dance?
Gotta make alot of money, gonna break your heart
Watch out boy (watch out boy)
Shuffle on your feet till the floor is hot
Gotta make alot of money, gonna break your heart
And that's me
Can't you see i'm ready to dance?
And I can't stop this rhythm in my heart
Move it move it baby
Can't you see i'm ready to dance?
Without this beat my life would fall apart
There's money in your feet, gimme what you got
Watch out boy (watch out boy)
Shuffle to the beat, gonna take a cut
There's money in your feet, gonna stitch you up
Any other boy that you see
But not me
You wake up in the morning with the bass line
A ray of sunshine
Sometimes
You know today you're gonna have a good time
And you're ready to go
Turn the music up, turn it up
Because it's all I've
All that I've got
Shuffle to the beat...

A Precious Box
George Michael, cujo verdadeiro nome é Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, nasceu a 25 de Junho de 1963 em Londres. Desde pequeno sempre demonstrou muito talento como cantor. Teve algumas bandas enquanto estudante até ao ano de 1982, quando passou a fazer parte dos Wham.-
Esteve à frente desta formação durante 4 anos, obtendo um sucesso relativo. Em 1987 decidiu que estava na altura de investir numa carreira a solo e lançou o álbum Faith, que foi muito bem recebido pelo público. Para além da faixa que dá nome ao álbum, Father Figure, One More Try e Kissing a Fool, tornaram-no famoso por todo o mundo.
-
Três anos mais tarde lança Listen Without Prejudice, um disco muito mais pessoal e com menos apego comercial. O hit Freedom’90, cujo videoclip conta com a participação de algumas modelos, torna-se numa das suas canções mais famosas.
-
Older, de 1996, conta com temas mais melódicos como Jesus to a Child, o que agradou aos fãs. Dois anos depois sai a colectânea Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael.
-
Ainda em 1998, George Michael é preso pela polícia de Beverly Hills, por conduta menos própria em local público. O caso toma proporções gigantescas e ele acaba por se assumir homossexual.
-
Em 1999, já ligado à Virgin Records, lança Songs from the Last Century. Este álbum conta com diversas interpretações de artistas de renome como Sting e Brian Eno, e com a produção de Phil Ramone.
Patience marca o regresso do cantor aos estúdios depois de 8 anos sem gravar. O novo trabalho chega às lojas em 2004 e tem como grande destaque o tema Amazing.
-
Em 2006 lança a colectânea TwentyFive com algumas músicas inéditas e volta aos palcos com a 25 Live Tour, comemorativa dos 25 anos de carreira.
