This is a medley of some of his songs which is why everyone screams when he starts a new one. He’s amazingly talented.

[@lspdfrofficer165]

he is very under rated which is a shame

[@lynettedevries1824]

I like his song Krytonite too.

[@justlinsu]

@@lynettedevries1824 Oh yeah! I believe that the island he filmed that video on was the one that had that horrific volcanic eruption last year. I could be wrong but if you check it out it looks the same landscape.

[@lillibitjohnson7293]

Fun fact. Guy went to USA and made some music. Talked to record labels who told him he’d have to change his music style for them to sign him hahaha F them. He came home again lol

Sounds like a familiar story eh !

[@rhyshutchin5]

Guy is a national treasure. An amazing talent, that won the inaugural season of Australian Idol (2003). He has released ten top ten albums, including three number ones. The first seven all gained either platinum or multi-platinum certification with his number 1 single Battle Scars (ft. Lupe Fiasco) being 13x Platinum. Not only is Guy a great talent but is very engaged with children charities donating a lot of his time and money to various charities and even forming his own with his Partner Jules, the Sebastian Foundation which has helped with services for young girls, domestic violence shelters, hospitals, music therapy, mentoring programs for teenagers, women who have experienced domestic violence and more. A good follow up video to this that I'd recommend would be where he surprises a school choir, that's singing his song. It's really wholesome kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXqWgqWHa7SYibs

He’s already done it and mentions it at the beginning of this video 😂

[@katrinasanders9238]

what about John Farnham

[@elisabethpedersen7893]

@@katrinasanders9238 I love John Farnham, especially the Whispering Jack album, got the album when i was a little child. I wanted it so badly. He was very popular here in Norway in the 80's and 90's .Haven't heard a lot of him since, other then what i have seen on YT. He has an incredible voice. Australia should be proud of this rare gem 🇦🇺

Guy Sebastian was the Kelly Clarkson . He won our first idol with a huge Afro. He is absolutely an Aussie fav

[@Commander_Cat]

They need to perform together or have a song

[@Dr_KAP]

Guy is a musical scientist. He knows how music works and he can play with different elements of it, including vocals but also many other instruments and music theory behind beats and rhythms. They’re all his songs he writes his music and lyrics himself. He starts off with Before I Go sung in the key of B minor, transitions seamlessly into F minor for Battle Scars then to C major for Who’s that Girl, without dropping a note. Oh and by the way, the first song? It spans nearly 3 octaves (f2-d5). Unreal.

[@justlinsu]

Love your stats @Dr_KAP lol. Hope you're well

MUSICAL SCIENTIST !!!!!!!! Thats the best description ever

He was also Australia's first ever contestant at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015. His hair was really big and curly back then 😊 and he came 5th

[@derekhobbs1102]

Go the fro

[@annsolomon5263]

And Australian Dami Im came 2nd in Eurovision song contest a few years later. She may have won it but for the fact that it would have been quite difficult for Australia to host the event from down under.

[@annsolomon5263]

I think back now and realise coming 5th was a pretty awesome performance.

[@mareek.]

@@annsolomon5263Dami Im would never have won Eurovision or there would have been outrage. Australia is not apart of Europe, everybody knows that, so why we are still involved makes you wonder.

[@annsolomon5263]

@mareek. because the competition is sponsored by SBS television worldwide, and Australia is a member of SBS. I think its SBS, it could be a different entity but Australia is a member of the group, and on those grounds, they have been allowed to participate.

[@hayleydavis1449]

Guy is a legend! He was our first ever Aussie Idol winner in 2003 and has had a stellar career since! In his personal life he has a stunning wife ...Jules Sebastian. She is very successful too! Very sweet lovely people. They have two little boys together 🙂

[@infin8ee]

Remember when Guy Sebastian was known as "The Fro"? Certainly come a long way from those days. He won the first Australian Idol. He lost to Kelly Clarkson in the World Idol (?). They told him that he didn't have the looks to be a successful commercial singer. Yep, they're his songs. Hope you eradicated that fly🤣 Keep 'em coming 👍

[@elisabethpedersen7893]

Kurt Nilsen from Norway won world idol..... they told Kurt he was to ugly for tv, that he could maybe win if it was on radio...because he looked like a hobbit but sing like an angel.... but he won anyway. Kurten assa ❤🇧🇻🥳

[@nscan2]

America didn’t give Guy the credit he deserved. He is an amazing singer and he isn’t auto tuned, it is all him. You need to listen to his music. This was a melody of songs but all of his music is fantastic. And no they are not his total songs. He has made much more music and you should react to some of the complete versions of his songs. He is a master craftsman and America missed out by not giving him a record deal, cudos to him for not changing who he is. He will always be one of Australia’s shining stars.

[@guyfanno1]

Listen to his first album and the version of Battle Scars he did with Lupe Fiasco live on the X factor Australia where he was also a judge. I prefer that to his live solo version. My youngest daughter was being treated for cancer when she was 2 years old when he was on the first Australian ldol. I needed something to focus on to take my mind off her treatments and he was it. I was in the hospital with her the night the winner was announced, and l had to restrain myself from yelping out loud when he was declared the winner, as we were on a shared ward. My youngest is now 22 by the way and healthy as a horse.

[@lilcazza3838]

He's one if our best! Seems like such a decent dude too. Great reaction!

Surprised you haven't ever come across his song 'Battle Scars' before, maybe its just this version that sounds unfamiliar. Original version was a collaboration between him and Lupe Fiasco, and some parts sounded quite different to this.
