I got a free ticket to his show a few years ago so I went, not expecting much more than a campy showbizzy Madonna type deal, and I was blown away by how good he was and how good the music & show was. Ever since I've been looking forward to seeing him again.
He's also one of the few white-male singers to have a single reach #1 on the billboard R&B chart.
He has also had some pretty successful tours: The 25 Live tour was the most commercially successful tour of 2006–2007 in Europe. The tour grossed more than $200 million, with positive reviews from music critics. The 106 tour shows were performed in 41 countries and seen by 2 million fans across the globe.[1]
In 2004, the Radio Academy named Michael the most played artist on British radio during the period 1984–2004.
He also wrote and produced much of his material.
So while some here might easily dismiss George Michael due for various nefarious reasons, it's pretty clear that he was a very talented and successful singer, songwriter and producer. He also hosted that "Sports Machine" show that was revolutionary in bringing sports highlights to American TV viewers.

Another 2016 tragedy!
Was not the type of music I would go buy or go see in concert, but he was talented.
Will never forget his version of "Dont Let the Sun Go Down" with Elton at Live Aid.
I also got to work with George on a Diet Coke commercial in 1989.
