Praying for Time

There has been a recent buzz on this song “Praying for Time” since Carrie Underwood sang it beautifully at Idol Brings Back 2008. I went to watch that video on Steph blog and I agree she did a very good job with it.

I remember this song very well because it is one of my favourite songs ever and it came out during the time I was in JC and I remembered it being very angsty and sad which suited me just perfectly during that time.

18 years have gone by and it is hard to be angsty and sad all the time. Plus the endless exposé on the lifestyle of George Micheal seems to have developed into a classic moral tale on the corruption of wealth and fame.

It is with some interest when I discovered that the original MTV for the song was this video which shows nothing at all. No George, no images, only the words of the lyrics. Apparently he refused to appear on the video for all the song from this album.

If you remember, this song came from his album “Listen with Prejudice“.

Can you be more specific please? Haha. So he sang that song in the 90s then right but is he still famous now? The song is rather bitter alright but I think it came from the album ‘listen without prejudice’.
