  • Rachael from Berkley, MiThis song is classic! Throw it on in your house, dorm, apartment building, etc. and rock out! Most people who were born before 2001 know at least some of the lyrics and will sing along, dance, tap their foot, etc.! It is a fun pick-me-up song that will continue to be enjoyed!
  • Celeste from Ontario, CanadaI don't like the Limp Bizkit version of Faith considering that it's a pop song that doesn't need particularly large vocals. If you can call what Fred Durst does vocally sound.
  • Victoria Semenenko George Michael's Baby from UkraineAt the very begining you hear "I want your sex" samples saying about end of patience
  • Purposeful Audio from IowaActually it was a synth that was used for the now famous organ sound in the intro, but not a Yamaha DX7. It was a Roland D-550 synth module which is a rack version of the also famous Roland D-50 linear arithmetical synthesizer. The patch or preset used was factory 'Cathedral Organ'. The Yamaha DX7 was used just as a MIDI source keyboard, connected to the D-550 which was the machine that actually output the sound.
  • Shay from HyderabadWhat's the song that plays in very beginning, from the jukebox, in the US version of the video? Like just before the church organ?
  • Ma from FloridaLol at people's comments on orientation. You cannot tell someone' orientation by videos. Everyone says this in hindsight but it's silly. He implied he had trouble with the public's image of him and his music but I don't think it's fair to suggest he was faking. Sexuality changes and he was bi at the time. Since when was he mandated to tell everyone everything about his private life? He did that after and it hasn't turned out well; it overwhelmed everything else. Brilliant artist with unfortunate circumstances. No reason to be ashamed of his music during 80s; it's his best stuff.
  • Callie from Bristol, United Kingdom"Saturday Night Live" made two skits (with Dana Carvey as George Michael) about George's butt in "Faith" music video.
  • Dexy from Northbrook, IlWhat does his sexual preferences have to do with his or anyone else's music? I came here looking for info about "Faith"; could give a rats ass if he sleeps with man or woman. I care that he is a talented, amazing artist that helped shape the 80's and 90's.
  • Jim from Philadelphia, PaYes actually George Micheal is a homosexual. Most people figured this out (as speculation grew) by watching his videos. Despite this he has proved to be a good artist, despite several major complications in the 90's (drug addiction, DUI's, etc).
  • Og from Los Angeles, CaWhat, George Michael is gay? Noooo.
  • Liquid Len from Ottawa, CanadaGeorge Michaels had nothing to do with Glass Tiger, except they were even cheesier than him, and mostly copied his vocal style. I think George Michael has one of the best voices in rock - he was the only singer at the Freddy Mercury tribute concert that could belt it out like Freddy - but I mostly hated his tunes.
  • Dennis from Anchorage, AkWow, how old is this thread? "George Michael MIGHT be gay?" Anyway, the album is actually very good and I was glad it won the grammy way back then. I always thought George was just kind of a puppet based on the stuff he did with Wham and Glass Tiger, but he actually did most of the work on the album, writing, producing, programming and playing. It's a hell of an accomplishment.
  • Jessamine from Albany, NyGeorge Michael is gay. He and his boyfriend/partner were on Oprah.
  • John from Millersville, MdAh, doesn't matter to me, I love this song!
  • Ronnie from Huddersfield, EnglandIt has been rumoured that George Michael is a gay, though he has never spoken publicly about his sexual orientation
  • Zola from Dublin, Ohone hell of a happy uplifting song
  • Megan from Ozark, AlI like this song pretty well...it's one I like to yell at the top of my lungs.
  • Natasha from Chico, Cathis song reminds me of when i was a little kid and my sister would blare this song and sing it completely off-key with his poster on her wall
  • Chris from Victoria, TxThe first song Fred Durst ever ripped off.
  • Eddie from Lachine, MiAlvin and the Chipmunks also had a version of this song.
