It's pretty pointless to ask if we can say you could win a case, especially if you were, as you fear, up against someone with a lot of legal clout. Often cases rest on how much money can be spent, the better legal team you have etc. So chances are, if you went up against, let's say, Kanye, you would likely lose (though nothing is certain) as he would not only have all the resources he needed at his command, but people, including a jury if there was one or a judge, would be less likely to think he would waste his time copying your music. You in fact would be seen to, I would expect, be more likely to be trying to squeeze cash out of him.
George Michael, on the other hand, you would win against, since he is now dead.
Sorry, sorry!
But that's what I think: you go up against the big boys, even if you're right, chances are you will lose. All you can do is try to make sure you take the best legal precautions you can and ensure you can afford a decent lawyer if you need one. If you make enough money, maybe retain a music lawyer? I have a brother who ... never mind.
Do bear in mind that I know nothing about the law with regard to music, and there are people here far better qualified to answer your worries. This is purely what I think personally. Could be totally wrong.
