King George is still going strong. I don't think I've heard a bad George Strait song, possibly because there aren't any bad George Strait songs. Strait has consistantly stayed country, while many other big acts have let their sound stray too close to pop.

Strait has positioned himself as the bench-mark for male country performers. He is a competent singer and has an astounding sense of which songs to record. At this stage in his career he can pick and choose only the best, or whatever he wants - which is usually the best. His fame and prestige may surpass that of Cash, Jones, and Milsap by the time he retires.

George Strait is by far the best of the best country singers today. My favourites singers in the past include Kenny Rogers, Don Williams, and now George Strait. I highly recommend "The Chair", "You look so good in Love", and "Fool Hearted Memory", which I personally consider amazingly good, his voice and lyrics is soothing. I am not an american, so this is an international voice of recognition in favor of a true Country Musician.

A real country singer who hasn't been sucked into the top 40 market, he stays consistant and only plays country. You have to give him credit for that in today's market.

George Strait is the man. He consistently comes out with good songs. 50 number one hits is enough proof. What I like the most is that he doesn't put any pop music in his music; he keeps his country the way country is supposed to sound like.

George Strait is without question country music's living legend! 20-30 years ago up and coming artist would usually reference their influences as George Jones, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens or Johnny Cash; but George has hands down been the influence of the hottest current artists for the past 10 years! Every artist from Garth, Toby, Tim, Kenny and even Alan Jackson, a future legend in his own right, credit George Strait as one of their biggest influences in their career! It only takes one listen to ANY George Strait classic to see why fans and artists alike refer to him as King George, today's living legend!

Best country artist around by far. No one has ever made consistently good records over a long long span of time like George Strait has. He doesn't have to resort to lasers and fireworks to give a good concert. Another thing I love about him is that he has not gone out and recorded a bunch of these soldier songs and songs about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Toby Keith and Alan Jackson showed a complete lack of shame by profiting off of that. George has too much class to do that kind of thing.

As a country music fan, I tend to listen to the more recent generation of country music artists and steer away from what many old-school country music fans would call "pure country". However, I must say that even though that he is old school, "pure country", George Strait has always impressed me with his songs. I've never really heard of any bad songs that he has produced, and like win, he just seems to get better with age. "She'll Leave You With A Smile", "Go On", "Run", "The Best Day of My Life" and "The Road Less Travelled" were all great songs and I'm sure we can look forward to seeing more of George Strait in the future.

He is to country music what Sinatra was to pop, "The Chairman of the Board". Others like Black, Brooks, etc. cam and went, but Mr. Strait keeps rolling with the proven solution - Keep it country, and keep in coming! He may seem aloof to some, and to me, rightfully so. Who wouldn't be a little after the hgh success he has enjoyed. George, keep on keeping on!

Anybody who denies or objects to this (FIVE STARS) rating, doesn't know Country Music. George Strait continues to sing some of the greatest songs to come from Country Music. George is a Taurus in the Zodiac sign, therefore the throat is ruled by Taurus- Cher, Janet Jackson, Enrique Englesias, are all Taurus. They have the most albums selling the best songs making a good profit for their profits. I love em all! Because, you know, you got to "have a ace in the hole"....

He quite simply has the best voice of anyone in country. He also has class, intelligence, and doesn't record songs that deliberately suck up to the mass audience like Garth, Tim, etc. There are a great many artists today who should get down on their knees and thank him for what he's done for them (Garth, Clint, McGraw, Toby, Paisley, so on). When he came along in the early eighties, every record company he approached told him "lose the hat". He refused. MCA Records, his label for the last 20+ years, told him the same thing, but he told them that the hat was a part of him. He said he was from Texas, had worked on ranches, wore a hat all his life, and he wasn't about to change it. Also, after 3 albums with MCA he stood up for his artistic rights, even though it could have meant an end to his promising career. The three albums he had recorded for them had all been very successful and had given him 5 #1 singles, but he didn't get to pick the songs himself, and the production and arrangements weren't to his liking. He was about to record the fourth album for MCA when he made a bold move: he marched into his producer Jimmy Bowen's office and told him he wasn't about to put his voice on the ten songs they had picked out for him. This was a bold move for any artist, but as luck would have it, Bowen agreed wholeheartedly, and that album was scrapped. Then, George Strait put together the album that HE wanted to make, and guess what happened? The album, titled "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind?", went on to win Album of the Year honors at the Country Music Association awards show that year. Over two dozen albums later, Strait has recorded 38 #1 singles and still counting. He's second only to Conway Twitty on that list. Also, he has had 25 albums go Platinum, and quite a few of those are double or triple platinum. No other country artist in history has done that. He also has the best selling boxed set in country music history, and it's second only to Bruce Springsteen's Live boxed set as the best selling in any music genre. He has won countless awards, millions of fans and he's done it with good music and a fair amount of integrity. I only wish more of today's artists would follow his example.

I was in the second row when George came to Atlanta in 2001. I had the best time of my life. He is coming to my county of Gwinnett, Ga., in Feb. and I am so happy. I met another Strait fan through his fanclub and she lives in England. She is coming to Gwinnett to see the concert with me. I have a great new friend because of George. We love him!

George Strait is the best male singer that has ever been and ever will be in country music. Not only does he have a wonderful voice and is able to sing many different styles of songs, he is also a respectable person. Being married to his wife for almost 30 years is something few, if any, people in any music industry can say. I have seen him in concert twice, once in the 4th row and it was the best show I have ever seen. He doesn't need all the fireworks, lasers, guitar smashing, etc. that some stars do. He just strictly performs a show using his and his band's talent. To reply to the comment as to why he is not a member of the Grand Ole Opry-in order to be a member you have to perform at least 18 times a year at the Opry, and since George is not in Nashville that often, it would be hard for him to do that. I also would like to know where some people (including this website) are getting the idea that he put out a CD prior to his 1981 release of "Strait Country"? George is truly the KING of country!!!

George has several good songs, and one (maybe more) GREAT one (Lead On), but to me, he's like Frank Sinatra, a voice for someone else's material. He is a real "twang" country singer. But the people love him, he makes them feel good, and that counts for alot.

George was a great musican. I thought he was the greatest. He came to Little Rock and I was very dispointed. He just came out and sange and introduced his band. I saw his other concert and It was great. I learned from the dixon music company where my daughter takes guitar lessons that he refused to sign a guitar, said he didn't sign for charity. They were giving it for raising money for Cancer. I couldn't believe what I heard. I have always enjoyed his music. Also, I have felt close to him and his wife, My son was killed in a car wreck as his daughter was. I love the song baby blue, he wrote it for his daughter and my son had blue eyes also. I was hoping that he would sing it but he didn't. I won my tickets on the internet with kduck. My other daughters bought tickets so we could all go and see him. My baby daughter was very disappointed with his concert and she grew up admiring George Strait.
