I saw George Michael last June when he played in Manchester (UK), and he was brilliant. The concert took place in a open air football (you call it soccer!!)stadium and it poured with rain the whole time. But it was still the best concert I have ever been to. You people have so much to look forward to now he is going over there. I would urge anybody to go and see him - you won't be disappointed.

By the way - I love the show - you make me smile. You really do need to get on a plane and get over to the UK and make us all smile!!

Take care and thanks - all the way from sunny (not!!) Liverpool (UK)

Hi Ellen!
I LOVE YOUR SHOW ,but I LOVE MORE GEORGE MICHAEL sorry ;-)))
Please don't take this the wrong way !!
I love his music since I hear the "Jesus to a Child" in the radio.I watch yours show from last two years.
I'm original from Poland so to get his CD was very hard.CD was very expensive for me so to save up to buy his first CD took me few month. But now after this years I have his whole collection (I hope)all singles ,CD ,books, collection etc.
ELLEN PLEASE MAKE ME FAVOR !!!
WHEN GEORGE MICHAEL WILL BE YOUR GUEST FINE ONE TICKET FOR ME. MY DREAM IS TO HAVE HIS AUTOGRAPH AND SEE HIM CLOSE !!!
One good turn deserves another so speak the word !
I can walk your dogs :-)
George if you read this I will love walk your dogs too by your music and autograph ;-)))
Thank you
Anna

Sorry for my English

I am the biggest George Michael fan! I traveled to see Wham! from Baltimore to Philly back in the 80's. I was a young teenager and I had to go with my Aunt, Uncle, Mother and Sister. We made signs and hung them all over the car that said things like "WHAM! tour bus" "WHAM! or bust!" things like that. I wore my "Choose Life" shirt with my hat with the flaps in the back like Andrew Ridley wore in Wake me Up before you GO-GO. We got to the concert 8 hours ahead of time and we were one of the only ones in the parking lot. We must have changed parking sport 5-6 times trying to find the best spot to get us out quickly at the end of the concert. I had the best time and have seen every concert he has done that is in my area! I am so excited that he is coming back! Thanks for hooking us up with a chance to win tickets. I will breaking out my Choose Life shirt and hat for the concert! Love you Ellen!

George Michael! What a comeback! He's one of the reasons my husband and I watch Eli Stone every week! At different times, but we watch it. Two shows we DVR each week, ELI and ELLEN! I watch you every day @ work at the end of my lunch hour, just to dance with you..and to make it thru my day (then come home to watch the rest of you.) I have worked at the SAME place for 30 years in Arlington, TX! 30 LONG years....That deserves Tickets!!!
The last year has been heck with shoulder surgery, neck injury and massive headaches(volleyball injury)...but I'm like you, I keep on working. I'm trying to work out these injuries, and am truly blessed to have all I have...but I really need some FUN!!!! I even had surgery yesterday to relieve some of these headaches, and those that I worked with for 30 years didn't even ask me this morning how it went! (Ok, I'm pulling out the sympathy Card!) But,it's the truth.
My husband is a corporate accountant, and is NEVER home! We need a night out! We want tickets.
Love you Ellen! Please Keep us Laughing! It's the smile in our day!

Hi Ellen - My husband Robert wants to know who George Micheal is. I guess women know more about his music - we would love a cd. I really love when you are especially goofy and Striker is adoreable (don't tell my husband)

Ellen,

My Partner and I totally love your show. We recently got registered and would love to see George Michael as a Wedding present. Love Lucy and Yoli Rodarte-Mendez

Hi Ellen,

How are you? The best part of your show that i love the most is your dancing. I love it when you dance. I am not really good in expressing myself, but i watch your show everyday. I keep joining your contest thru email, and really hoping this time that i get pick to get Georger Michael ticket concert. One reason that i watch Elli Stone bec of George Michael. He often times appeared on the show, but on the script his name is always mentioned. Thank you and God Bless.

love you

HEY ELLEN, IT'S ME KAREN FROM ARIZONA. I JUST HAD A TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT AND AM ON THE MEND. THE GEORGE MICHAEL CONCERT TICKETS WOULD BE A GREAT THANK YOU GIFT FOR MY DAUGHTER. SHE GAVE UP HER SPRING BREAK TO HELP ME WHILE IN THE HOSPITAL AND WHEN I FIRST ARRIVED HOME. SHE IS A FIRST GRADE TEACHER AND COULD HAVE USED THE SPRING BREAK FOR SOME MUCH NEEDED REST AND RELAXATION.

ANYWAAAY, KEEP MY DAUGHTER IN MIND WHEB YOU ARE SELECTING VIEWERS FOR THE TICKETS.

Hi Ellen - It was really great hearing your conversation with George Michael today. I live in L.A. but am from England originally and am a huge fan of his. The christmas before last I planned a trip home to coincide with his concert at Wembly Arena in London. I managed to get a really good ticket for the show but the flight I was on got delayed, I missed the connecting flight in Philladelphia and instead of going to the concert, got to spend the night at a motel in New Jersey. Can you imagine how frustrating that was - I think I threw up a little bit. Anyway, I'm getting better now and am really, really excited about his U.S. tour and that people are responding to it so positively. I am determined to see him in L.A. this time and since the Forum's only about 10 miles away, hope the trip there won't be quite so eventful.
Lots of love - Bruce

Hey Ellen, just a note to ask you if you got my email asking you for two tickets for your show. I am here in Ireland but going to NewYork and North Carolina (for 3 wks in total) on June 17th not on the same day :-). We would love to be able to go on your show, whats the chances for my friend and I getting there, we will bring you a present from Ireland, actually we will bring you two, one from me and one from my friend :-) thats not bribary either :-> if you threaten us we could do a vlog of our visit to you :->. Just so you know, we are Irelands biggest fans of 'The Ellen' show, who prefer you more than U2, yep thats right, believe :-)and if you like we could teach you some 'River Dance' moves that would compliment your own cool moves. Ok I will stop begging, over and out, heres in hope :-)

Hi Ellen, I was watching your show today as I do everyday. I love you and your show, I always say you'd be a great best friend, You're so fun! I was especially happy to hear of George Michael's return touring in the USA. I am such a fan of his, I love him!! My 16 y.o. son just recently bought me an autographed picture of him at a local second-hand store. Its signed " To Russell from George Michael but who cares, it is still displayed proudly in our home! Thanks for you and your show! Bonnie

Ellen,every day when I get home from work chan.46 is it.Love your show.I have been hearing on the radio for 2 weeks in Atlanta,Ga George Michale is coming. I grew up listening to his music.This morning before we left the house,Dale ripped the house apart looking for georges cassetts. It was nice listening to his music on our way to work.We are having an anniverary on the 14th of this month and it would be wonderful to have 2 tickets for his concert. We both forgot our anniversary for the past to years and this would be a wonderful surprise for my husband.This time I haven't forgot so far.PLEASE,PLEASE PLEASE. LOVE YOU ELLEN

Hey Ellen,

My name is Edith Ann from Sheridan, AR. Love you, your show, Geaorge Michael and of course your boo Justin Timberlake. My daughter and I watch you all the time and I get pretty loud when you come on. Your dancing is great and hate to miss it. Not sure if George will make it here but I will try anyway. He is so sexy and could be my babies Father Figure (not sure if their dad would like that,lol). Any who loved the show today aas I do everyday I watch. Oh forgot something Blake Lewis is my fave also.

Love YA

ELLEN!! Just to hear George Michaels voice, you acted as if he were interrupting you..lol... very cool and funny stuff! I am so into George always have been I still have my tiger beat magazine pin-ups that used to hang on my walls as a kid!! I listen on a daily basis to his c.d's in my car , bedroom, living room, computer, ect....I can't explain it ; but whenever I hear "praying for time" I start to tremble and I just cannot stop the tears, I dont know why? But my body literally shakes......I'm going to get to his show in Chicago if it's the last thing I do!! I have waited sooooooooo many years for this to happen, and now it's a reality!! please get him on your show when he gets here!! i love you and George!! thanks for making my day.hell, life!! PEACE!!
