This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

He is still alive? I knew some people who liked his music. Well, George good luck at trying to get Americans to care about a style of music that has almost all but fell by the wayside.

Blasphemy!
George is among the best male vocalists music has ever seen.
I guarantee you he will sell out in minutes.

Maybe he will considering the level that American pop music has lowered itself to. The kids will listen to anything is they are told it is cool by MTV enough times.

This is true.
Hopefully they give someone who is a great artist and composer a chance.

I don't think you're really very well acquainted with the music of George Michael.
He hasn't even been on MTV in years and this is geared towards adults. It has nothing to do wiht kids.
He'll sell out because he is gifted and he actually sings songs that he actually wrote as opposed to the lip synching trash that compiles so called music today. I'll be 5th row center myself when he comes to my city and he's worth every penny imo.

"Amazing" a few years back.
But I hope he has some new ballads. "Jesus to a Child" is an amazing song.
