Best Showman of all time ?

[Belker]

I had this gay young man in the cab last night when Freddie Mercury came on the radio blaring 'Thank God it's Christmas'. I suggested to the young man that Freddie was the Greatest Showman of all time and adding that M.J. was a close Second. He disagreed with me stating that he thought George Micheal was the best ever. It's pretty seldom that I argue with my customers but no way could George Micheal ever be fit to tie Freddie's shoelaces.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the Greatest Showman ever ?

Here is Freddie at his absolute best, Radio Ga Ga, Live Aid 1985. (4.49 minutes).

Freddie was a good singer and great but the band we'r absolutely shite...... The music was fukin embarrassing.... " i want to ride my bicycle "   fuk off
Who is George micheal?
The greatest band and show on earth was "The Who" by about 10 million miles....
Nobody could touch them musically...
Led zeppelin not far behind them....
Elton john should have bean executed for crimes against entertainment .... As should David bowie... Another totally talentless cnut....

In my book he would come in at Third place behind Freddie and M.J. and just ahead of Prince.

Who is George Michae??? FFS, not a showman,  but a magnificient voice and an excellent songwriter. Generous to a fault, a flawed human, but let's not have any stone throwing, and an excellent songwriter. This song is just magic.
