Apologies to fans of Madonna. It's clear that George Michael was a fan of Madonna in the 1980s, but around this time he seemed a little disillusioned with the direction she was going in. I myself didn't feel that this was her best creative period but she lifted her game with subsequent releases.
I am a Madonna fan too but it's interesting to hear some of what George Michael was thinking about his main peers at this time, as he prepared for his first solo LP.
