Guy Sebastian

Guy Sebastian is one of Australias most loved artists. 2007 the legendary Steve Cropper & Duck Dunn, with Lester Snell & Steve Potts recorded 14 tracks live to analogue tape in Memphis with Guy & resulting The Memphis Album really took off! They agreed to tour with Guy as his band & sell out shows, labelling GUY as "astonishing", "sensational voice", "stage presence of people twice his age" etc. One critic sd it was the perfect concert. Guy will be touring with the Army Bands around Aust. @ tail end of 2008, before Global Release in 2009. He had prev. had his own shows with the Aust. Philharmonic Orchestra @ Sydney Opera House. As Steve Cropper said, he's mind boggling, and can sing anything, anytime, anywhere. Guy has written over 30 songs, which appear on over 10 albums (he himself has only 5 albums atm Aug. 08). His debut album is just under 7P (although as that figure was at 2004, I suspect its hit the 7P by now). Not sure where alexlips gets his info from. Guy also wrote the theme song for World Youth Day 2008, Receive the Power. He writes and sings songs ranging from rock, RnB, soul, jazz, gospel, reggae. He's got great comic timing, as so many singers do, and on the hit counting websites, figures so highly that he has made the top 100,000 in the world - all without any record company help (no show cases up to 2007, no 'specials' like buy an album, get the (recorded on cash register etc) single free or other stuff). Guy has such a huge international following so far, and some have pointed out that "Usher is a poor many's Guy Sebastian" !!

Guy Sebastian was the winner of the very first Australian Idol. Just months after he won, the Australian public realised that the runner-up, Shannon Noll was actually the better artist and should have won. I think that Guy is a really great singer who has good songs but he could be doing so much better than he is.
