Now don't think im being a bitter englishmen as i promise you i am not, but would it not be better if you couldnt vote for you own country as the size of america would surely make it a white wash for kelly clarkson, so though i can support will young (uk winner) i can't actually vote for him.
to prove i'm fair good luck australia in the Rugby world cup final?????

The Idol has been chosen. Australians have cast their vote. And the first Australian Idol is...
G U Y!!
Congratulations to Guy, and lets not forget about Shannon too, since he was sincerely happy to see his friend claim the crown. We all know same would have happened if Shannon won.
Well done, boys! As for Guy, we can rest assured he will make all other contenders run for their money, and probably their votes as well.

Congrats Guy....do ur thang on that world stage..To all of you that think Kelly C will win just be patient and have faith in our Guy. I cannot predict the future but I believe Guy will take the world by storm certainly putting Australia on the map of Talent.

I would just like to say GO GUY! He is the best singer Australia has produced since John Farnham. His voice is so versatile, he can sing anything and everything while adding his own style to it. If anyone is interested in hearing some of his music please email me at whitlam2003@yahoo.com.au

Hi everyone i am definitely going for GUY the fro is the maddest. I think cosima should have won but wateva guy has the greatest voice but one huge competitor will be Kelly Clarkson the queen of American Idol but i ont want this to be a whole racial thing so i wish all the contestants the best of luck and i know they will all do a great performance.

Hey Guy,
You are truly blessed and a unique individual. I wish you all the luck at the World Idol. I know you will give your all and your passion for your singing will truly shine. Your song My Beautiful Friend is playing now and I have tears rolling down my cheeks, It has touched a special place in my heart reserved for my mum.
Love your voice Guy and Im looking forward to your next Album. Dont let them change you!!
Julie » 11 December, 2003 9:33 AM

GO THE FRO
Maya » 11 December, 2003 1:41 PM
wow.. i listened to guys album all day loOOong..
its so goOod!! i love his songs.. i also like the one on the australian idol final 12 called "no more" as he wrote it himself! its such a funki song!! u rock guy.. love u lots!
mEeh » 11 December, 2003 8:33 PM
OK....u forgot to mention Kelly Clarksons biggest competition - GUY SEBASTIAN. I have heard Kelly Clarkson live and she is nothing to GUY's angelic voice.
I also think that there is a jury from each country and they give every country bar there own 1 - 10 votes - like the Eurovision song contest - that would be fair anyway.
GO THE FRO!
Arwen » 12 December, 2003 8:51 AM
Hey guy,
ur voice is soooooo awesome!!!! It's so beautiful, i cried when you sang Angels brought me here for the first time. You have such an amazing gift.
Good luck for world idol- u'll whip kelly clarkson's butt!
God bless!
*tania* » 12 December, 2003 3:45 PM
AND THE WINNER OF WORLD IDOL 2003 IS..... (DRUM ROLL PLS) .... GUY SEBASTIAN....
THATS WHAT EVERYONE AROUND THE WORLD WILL HEAR ON WORLD IDOL THIS XMAS!!!

stacey » 13 December, 2003 4:23 PM
ONLY ONE THING TO SAY........
go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy, go guy,

Omar » 13 December, 2003 9:44 PM
yeah she is pretty isnt she... i havnt heard any of her songs yet tho so ill check 'em out! id much rather see her win than kelly clarkson (oh no!)
k8 » 13 December, 2003 9:54 PM
"Alex" Janosz is pretty too...
BUT LETS NOT FORGET ABOUT GUY PPL!
k8 » 13 December, 2003 9:56 PM
hi all im over in the UK living in Scotland, but im an aussie and saw about 5 weeks of oz idol.
I was spell bound by Guy from the first week. the way he changed songs i loved and i still liked them amazed me as i normally hate that.
Ive missed hearing so much of him singing on the show and am not happy, hope to get his album soon and see him win world idol, if they go buy talent and not who is a local he is a big big chance!
either way i think he is brillant,original and totally unique. go the fro!!! Go Guy!

It's great that guy won Australian Idol and he's going to represent us, because I don't think there are many ppl that could do a better job than him (If you havn't figured it out i'm a big Guy fan). Having said that I don't think you guys should go underestimating the tallents of the other idols from around the world, I mean, they're idols! If they're idols, then they must be really skilled... but I still think Guy will win! Good luck to all the idols and especially Guy!
Drew » 14 December, 2003 1:21 AM
hey guy i hope you win world idol cos u deserve tha best
bro the fro
stephanie » 14 December, 2003 6:20 PM
GUY is gona be my Guy :P
an adorable sensation, he's added a new flava to the world and should win world idol coz he was born a star!!!!!!!!
natalie » 16 December, 2003 1:11 PM
Guy Seabastian is the Talant. Hope the world will vote for that and not for looks ,remamber people that its a talant comp and by far Guy Sebastian is that and he sings like an angle.
Paul » 21 December, 2003 1:20 AM
I just can't wait 2 watch world idol screen, & I will be in tears with excitment to see all, but mostly am so excited that the world will get to see our very humble Guy Sebastian. The world should fall in love with what he sings, just his smile his crisma & the most beautiful voice I have listened 2 in years. Heaven sent for sure.I am so proud the world will get to see our Guy! Go Guy Sebastian & if you are not the world idol, the world has gone crazy.That is what I said when Australia idol had a chance 2 vote for you or Shannon, Australia I love you. Guy you make me proud to be an aussie.
Denise » 21 December, 2003 8:22 AM
Me again,
I had to share this with everyone I brought Guys single 5 of them & sent to Missisippi, New York to family & friends & I got his Album Just The Way I am, oh boy I play it over & over & over, love it 2 death, Noone can compare 2 you he sings, well let me tell you I don't think a soul on earth could sing a song the way he does he has a unique voice nobody could take or sing the song the way he does, bet my shoes lol...The world will thank God for sharing you with us all Thank you Guy!
Denise » 21 December, 2003 8:30 AM
Hey all! American here wondering if anyone has heard anything about these contestants(other than Guy, of course...read enough about him here). I'm very excited and want to hear what people think of Kelly Clarkson and see how she compares to worldwide talent. Please don't vote for her unless you feel she truly deserves it...it's about time someone new from outside the US gets some airtime here in the US.

i really like kelly clarkson's voice. its so sweet 2 hear. i keep listening 2 "climb every mountain" n i thought id get used 2 hearing guys voice n thought mayb it wud wear off... mayb his voice isnt as strong n powerful as i thought... but again n again i keep proving myself wrong. especially when u try 2 sing along with him or listen 2 it loud n clearly n no distractions, u realise his voice is something else. his voice isnt just unique... what he can do with it too... the notes he hits... how his voice just seems 2 echo
i only hope that he sings as good or even better than he did at aussie idol at world idol
i hope he sings really high so australia can show the US that theyre not the only one with the strong, powerful n unique singer like kelly
tworkit » 23 December, 2003 2:50 AM


I heard that you can't vote from the person from your own country for the first 30 minutes of the show? I think that's good.
