Michael recreates the operatic flounce of the late Queen singer more sweepingly than any other star participant, including Lisa Stansfield (who duets with George on one number). Which goes to show if Michael won’t shake his buns, at least he’ll do impressions.

Michael's fans will enjoy the EP while Queen fans will find more reasons to mourn Mercury's passing.

Possibly his greatest live vocal performance ever, his voice was in top shape here. His rendition of Calling You is the highlight of this EP, absolutely fantastic. Overall it's a very good release.

Highlights: Calling You, Killer/Papa Was a Rollin' Stone and Somebody to Love.

Can you imagine going to a Funeral, Upstaging the deceased and everybody loves it? bc that's what the George Michael version of Somebody to love sounds like. The rest of the EP is just good fun.
