Description: 2008's TwentyFive celebrates George Michael's 25 years in the recording industry by presenting a near perfect collection of highlights from both Wham! and his solo career. For fans, having "Everything She Wants," "Careless Whisper," and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" on the same collection as "Faith," "Father Figure," and "Freedom! '90" is reason enough to pick this up, but for completists the lack of "I Want Your Sex" and "Kissing a Fool" is just too glaring not to warrant a few grumblings about waiting for his 27th year anniversary to celebrate.
