 This thread is to appreciate and post news about Australian pop/RnB Singer/songwriter/producer Guy Sebastian. just a quick run-down for people that don't know him... He's an Australian singer, he's had three No.1 singles, five top ten singles...2 No.1 albums and one top 3 album in Australia....and quite a few No.1 singles and albums in New Zealand, Malaysia, Phillipines, and a few other Asian countries. A remix of his song "Oh Oh" also went No.1 on the European dance charts a few years ago. He's holds several records.... -fastest selling Australian artist ever -2nd highest selling single in Australia of all time -fastest selling album in Australia -highest selling Album of 2003 -fastest selling single ever -quickest rise to No.1 on Australian Radio chart -most successful tour ever by a new Australian artist "The Beautiful Life tour" ....amongst several others.... the reason I'm making this thread is simple, he is, imo, one of the greatest male vocalist ever, and he's on the verge of an international career.... I just thought it was time he got some attention on this site, a few years ago, he was all set to launch his international career with a duet with Mya, but the release was very suddenly cancelled, but latley his managment have hinted that he may finally release overseas. Here are some youtube links: Video "Taller Stronger Better" www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI_G6LHl9-sVideo "Elevator Love" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQaSuL9hVaYPerforming "Lets Stay Together" www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyJuk4Sl0H0Interview on "Rove Live" www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLUHJ9BThTgPerformance of "Can't stop A River" www.youtube.com/watch?v=fK_8lOWWTDII should also add that he is currently on tour with the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra.....and I'm going to see him next Saturday! yay!! even if it did cost me $250.00!!!....I'm really pissed though, cause I was going to go last Saturday, but I didn't, and Nicole Kidman and Kieth Urban were there!!! and I really would love to meet her! lol...dammit!! |

Um, Shannon Noll has been a lot more successful than Guy. this comment makes me laugh....Guy has more certifications than shannon, Guy has more top 10 singles than shannon, the only thing shannon has over Guy is...ummm...nothing, appart from the same amount of No.1 singles. not to even mention how awarded Guy is...I believe shannon is a 1 time ARIA award NOMINEE. oh, and you know how every year Buisness Review Weekly (it's like Australias Forbes Magazine) release the highest earning Aussie entertainers list?....well last year Guy was No.9 with earnings of $15 million....I believe Shannon was No.54 (or a number around there) with earnings of just over $2.2 million....I think that speaks for itself with who is more successful, your statement is ludicras oh, and just a quick mention....if you go to The Lounge thread, you'll read my story about me getting to speak to Nicole Kidman on the phone today....and she's a MASSIVE Guy Sebastian fan, she went to his Sydney concert last week and owns his albums and stuff.....it made me love her more!!! |

Guys Melbourne concert at the Arts Centre just sold out, apparently he's the first singer to completely sell out in years.

Shannon is more successful. All his singles have gone Top 10 and he's had more Top 5s. Plus his second album outsold Guy's last two albums combined!

Guy has talent. Shannon doesn't He can barley sing. He had the middle ages vote. His last album have also sold more than Beyonce's last one in OZ, that means absolutely nothing. She's had the sold out tour, and fanfare. Shannon sucks as a singer. Nice bloke though.

Can't really comment on Guy Sebastian as I've not heard any of his stuff out this way... |

Shannon is the equivalent to Clay. And whilst his second album didn't go 5 x Platinum like his first (it went 2) he is still very successful unlike Clay is at the moment. All his songs from album two charted very well.
But Gus is no Rubin. He's been very successful. Has his third album gone Platinum yet? Elevator Love should have been top five.

Actually from what I've seen, Shannon has the edge over Guy on the ARIA charts as far as single peaks go. Nothing of Shannon's has peaked outside the top 10, while Guy has had 2 singles miss top 10. I'm not a fan of either anyway. Ricki-Lee and the Young Divas all the way! |

Yes I agree. They are four awesome role models. One hopes they can make another successful album. I hope that they can also make a video that isn't a carbon copy of the one before it.

I forgot that Shannon's "Now I Run" went top 5....for some reason I thought it was a flop...
Also, Guy's second album was official certified double platinum at the ARIA awards 2 years ago, at the actual ceromony!!
And Guys third album debuted Gold and was certified Platinum a week later....
also, despite having more top ten singles, Guy's singles have been certified more, incudeing those that didn't go top 10.
Angels Brought Me Here- 4 x platinum...maybe even 5.
All I Need Is You- Platinum
Out With My Baby- Platinum
Oh Oh- Gold
Taller, Stronger, Better- Platinum
Elevator Love- Platinum
some of Shannons singles weren't ceritified.
Also, like I said, how can you seriously say shannons more successful when BRW clearly broke down both their earnings in their year end list.....Guy was a MILLION miles more successful.
I'm not saying Shannon isn't successful, him and Guy are the only 2 people from AI to have continued chart and popularity success. and this still rumour flying around that Sony are gonna take them both international.

Here is a mash up of "Girlfriend" by Avril and "Elevator Love" by Guy from Youtube, it's been one of the most watched video clips of the past few weeks....It's quite good www.youtube.com/watch?v=XF-KtFaR8OU |

I went and saw Guy Sebastian last night at The Arts Centre in Melbourne last night, and all I can say is that I was blown away, he sang amazingly with the Australian Philharmonic Orchestra, and it was a full house, so the atmosphere was amazing!!.....he got a 20 minute standing ovation!!
I also got to meet him after the show too, as well as some other Australian celebrities......I really wanted to meet Nicole Kidman officially, and it was rumoured she was there....but she went last week in Sydney....oh well.
it was Amazing though
