WHAM! | Official Trailer | Netflix

I’m gonna watch it too

Boy, they were cute little twinks when they were young, weren't they?

I have to believe they fucked at least once. Or that George at least gave Andrew a blow job.

I didn’t know Shirlie married Martin Kemp

They could use a cardboard cut out to portray Andrew in the movie. He literally did absolutely nothing in Wham! George Michaels did all the work.

R4 George Michael, not "Michaels," Rose.

In high school my gf loved wham! We went to the Tower in upper darby to see them. She was one of those screaming girls that loved george. Anyway i always thought it was funny that they had rap songs. Even then i thought it (they) were awful. Now I think it’s cute.

R6 oh! She bought me a choose life t-shirt. I might still have it in my parents attic. I have a frankie says relax t shirt as well. Are they worth money? Should i find them & put it them on ebay?

It's just so upbeat yet cheesy gay! Wham was wonderful!

George Michael named Andrew Ridgeley as co-writer of "Careless Whisper" even though he wrote song himself. Due to this Mr. Ridgeley has grown quite wealthy over years (reports say about $10 million USD) thanks to royalties largely from that song but others as well.

GM really didn't like "Everything She Wants", but it became one of Wham's most successful songs. After years of speaking his mind on this song late in life GM softened his views on "Everything She Wants", even performing it often at his live concerts.

Michaels looked way too Armenian in Wham! The dark hair was awful. He was still ugly but better looking for the Faith period.

I thought he was Greek.

Fraus love "Everything She Wants"

Duh. He was Greek but Armenians have dark hair and are hairier than monkeys. Having dark monkey hair on your entire body is never sexy. Yuck. They could play Chewbecca without the suit.

George Michael "ugly"? Get your eyes checked pal because you obviously are blind.

R15 George certainly had his days looking mighty fine. A voice to match.

If you consider that fine. I always thought he was funny looking. Especially in his young days.

Andrew Ridgeley was so hot back in the day.

Hideous

I’d always heard that story too, [R9]. However, the writing of CW was discussed in the documentary and AR did have a hand in writing CW. George Michael said so himself.

Loved the documentary. 10/10 for a lighthearted, leave you feeling good viewing. It did leave me wanting more. I hope they will follow it up with a GM post Wham! documentary.

The friendship between GM and AR was beyond beautiful. Few people ever find such closeness and connection to another human being. It did seem like destiny that they met.

Fans might be disappointed to learn that in the documentary Ridgeley is heard but not seen as he appears today: debonair and patrician, with silver hair and a still-cheeky smile. Smith said it would have thrown the film’s mythic aspirations off balance if Ridgeley were on camera but not Michael, who died seven years ago at 53.

Since Wham!’s heyday, Ridgeley has battled the perception that he’s famous only because he was in a duo with a more talented artist. The documentary makes a case in his favor though, tracing how Ridgeley, a guitarist, collaborated with the composer and performer Michael.

Still, Ridgeley acknowledged that his musicianship wasn’t in the same league as Michael’s, “one of the finest, if not the finest, singing voices of his generation,” he said, sounding like a proud brother.

In this documentary, any dish on hairdresser-turned-meth addicted prostitute extraordinaire Fadi Fawaz?

[R23], the documentary shed a positive light on AR and his importance in GM’s professional and personal life. AR had the confidence, charisma, ambition, and determination that GM was lacking when they met. It’s unfortunate, if true, that AR battled self doubt due to the inevitable comparison to GM’s talent and post Wham! career. His part in creating and sustaining Wham! was equally as important as GM’s contributions. Wham! Made it big (pun intended) due to the symbiotic relationship between GM and AR. Yin and yang.

The documentation of their friendship was beautiful. Moving on from that relationship must have been difficult for both GM and AR. I’m now more intrigued by their friendship than their musical career. I may have to go back and reread AR’s autobiography.

R21 There is a George Michael documentary that came out either last year or this year, though it's not really as official as the Wham! one

Omg I cannot wait. I am so excited. I absolutely love George. I am honored to say I went to his Faith concert. Sexy man.

R26 I have never seen that documentary. I’m going to go watch it.
