Patience is a virtue for George.

I'm the first journalist to get my hands on an early copy of George Michael'
s new album - and I reckon it is a dead cert for No.1 in the charts.
Patience promises to be one of the biggest and best albums of 2004.
And there's no doubt his first track Amazing is truly that.
It sounds a bit like Fast Love, a classic George tune, and it has the
potential to be turned into a stomping dance track with the right DJs behind
the decks.
George, below, has a lot to prove. His last single Shoot The Dog charted at
a disappointing No12.
Patience is also his first album of new material since he released Older
eight years ago. But you're gotta have faith in George and Patience will
leave the critics and fans in no doubt that he is back - and at his best.
The album has a similar sound to the classic Listen With Prejudice Vol 1 -
my personal favourite - and has already gone down a storm with retailers who
have heard sneak previews.
Other tracks on the album include a tribute to John Lennon and Elvis Presley
and a sensational ballad called Through, which finishes off the album
perfectly.
George recorded Patience at London's Air Studios and it goes out under Sony,
with whom he famously fought, and lost, a costly legal battle.
But George re-signed with them late last year. Sony executives were so
impressed by his new material they struck a deal after only hearing THREE
new tracks.
Company bosses are still deciding on a release date for the album but it
looks like the single Amazing could be out within the next few weeks.
So here's an exclusive sneak peak at the chorus of Amazing, which I reckon
George wrote for his boyfriend Kenny Goss.
"So now I walk in the midday sun
I never though that my saviour would come
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing
I think it's amazing"
