this is a very tough decision

wasn't there an earlier version of gm's "freedom"? with worse drums/production?

fucked if i know

pick between these two

i have danced to both of these at slumber parties = the nostalgia quotient is pretty much equal. (A++ would dance again)

i think i would rather hear someone else sing "freedom" though, so maybe that makes it a better song? "freedom 90" sounds like it could only be a george michael song.

either way you look at it, you can't go wrong with a george michael song about freedom.

Motown vs house

"Freedom" is about relationships; "Freedom '90" is a bildungsroman.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 17:30 (seventeen years ago)

maybe i'm making up that other version. anyway, '90 all the way.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 17:32 (seventeen years ago)

Both are great. The first "Freedom" has that great keyboard, rhythm guitar hook, and chorus, but so does the 1990 one.

Better lip sync.

― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 17:51 (seventeen years ago)

Wham "Freedom" for me (their best, IMO), though 'Freedom 90' is probably my favorite George Michael solo.

― Joe, Wednesday, 28 May 2008 20:23 (seventeen years ago)

absolutely cannot decide between these two

A very good single vs my favourite pop song of all time. Freedom '90 ftw

― edwardo, Saturday, 31 May 2008 00:22 (seventeen years ago)

Wham, cause you know that I forgive you just this once, twice, forever, baby

one month passes...

Heard the latter one last night in a bar (in Podgorica!), and man, that is one triumph of a pop record. What struck me last night is that it's pretty damn perfect...and then the bridge comes in! (It looks like the road to heaven....>>>That's what you get for changing your mind...) It's a total bonus part: the song had already won the race, but that build-up of the bridge into the outro just kicks it into sublime territory.

one year passes...

While I love them both, Freedom 90 has sorta been my jam lately.

― Aqua Backrat (ENBB), Tuesday, 4 May 2010 01:45 (fifteen years ago)

I don't like the productgion on the Wham track but I love teh song. Freedom 90 is great too but I woulda voted Wham.

thirteen years pass...
