Because he's a legend. On here unless they're Madonna or Britney y'all always got to wait until someone dies before you give them the goddamn props they deserve. I remember when I first joined here in some thread people were actually questioning whether or not Prince was a living legend. Like wtf? But yeah, go ahead and try to downplay George's legacy now and then turn around and come a hooping and a hollering when he dies and you realize all the hot songs/videos he's put out in his career. He'd be legend based solely on the Freedom '90/Faith/Father Figure eras. But then you add in all his Wham stuff and the gay as **** stuff he put out in the late '90 and you definitely got someone up there with Prince and Bowie.
