Hi Cameron! From what I have read Guy did briefly to the U.S. however the agent in the U.S. wanted him to sing something that he didn’t agree with. Guy is a Christian and perhaps the song went against his beliefs! If any of this information is incorrect, I apologise! He came fifth at Eurovision one year! Thank you for your comment! Guy is AMAZING! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.
Cannot rave enough about this Aussie artist! So lovely to see/hear his gift being recognised - you are right, he should be bigger outside Australia. He wrote this song as a result of a family member's struggle with depression. I would highly recommend you listen to "Choir" - live at the ARIA's (it won song of the year in 2019) and "Battle Scars" - live on the Homefront (his biggest hit outside Australia). Apart from his stunning vocals, the best thing about Guy is his humility.
It was actually a fellow musician's suicide, I believe, someone whom Guy considered family. This was what he did to spread the word and danger in his "Brother's" honour.
I’m Australian and have a special love for my fellow Aussie musicians/countryman and I love listening to music and Guy Sebastian is just a legend who exploded on the scene. This song shows how he deserved his win in 2000s on idol. This song hits hard and how can you not tear up listening to it. We all have pain and if you liste. To this is brings that pain out but helps us so much. Because we know guy loves to help and make us feel better through music
I am from Spain and Guy is my favourite male singer ever! the way he sings live! I have never seen any other male artist who move me in the same way and his last album T.R.U.T.H is amazing!
I hope very soon all over the world Guys talent is recognised.. loved him ever since he was first on Australian Idol. He wowed Australia with his talent and just keeps on getting better. Beautiful range and he is a really beautiful person too.. my favourite!!
Guy Sebastian is an amazing artist, with a wide range and very versatile . Glad you checked him out and hope you cover more of his work, others have mentioned some tracks, I would add his song with Jordin Sparks - The Art of Love.
Guy Sebastian has always been an amazing vocalist and performer. Highly underrated here in Australia 🇦🇺 I've seen a few times live and he's never disappointing ❤❤❤
Yay something from Australia! 😂 yea he’s the best man... saw Guy live in concert and has such a distinct voice, amazing runs and riffs, insane. Thanks Nina! Always love your reactions and analysis ❤️❤️
I love Guy's vocals so much, he is incredible! I couldn't leave it there, i had to do another reaction to his wonderful voice, up now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R3c26oB0EEs.html xx
If you really want to hear Guy at his best, I highly recommend you react to his duet with China Taylor sing “The Prayer” ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KrfjOKaLgTE.html
still he is one of the best male singers i know . Even now after is well known singer in Australia and a judge on the voice there for many years , i feel like is to underrated . I think if he would have been born and sing in USA he would have been up there with Ed and Sam Smith , Lewis ...
So proud to be an Aussie, Guy won Australian Idol back in 2003 and now is the most successful male recording artist in Australian music history. He is brilliant onstage, seen him 3 times, but is also genuine, kind and really humble. Damn good human right there x ❤
Diana Ankudinova is a young performer who shocks us with her pleasant voice and takes us into the abyss of events!!! Diana Ankudinova is unique and inimitable, goosebumps from her voice!=)))) Diana sings as if she lives in the song! The soul freezes or opens with Diana's voice.=))))))) I am a musician who has been with music for years, and believe me, I have not heard such a tone in all these past years. 1000000%!!!🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶......Amazing Amazing Amazing---Beauty in every minute!!!
Please make a reaction to a young, very popular singer in world. Videos from this singer collect hundreds of millions of views. Diana Ankudinova is now only 17 years old. She has a very unique, very deep, clear voice. Dr. Marc Reynolds (Voice Teacher, Stage Director, Performance Coach and Consultant, and Acting Coach) said about the performance of this girl: Really really exceptional! Even if you ignore her age, even is she was 10, 20, 30 years older, this is still a really exceptional performer here that we're seeing. But at her age, unbelievable. Really really exceptional! Absolutely gorgeous! And again, not just because of her voice, because her performing, watching how nuanced and engaging her performance is. Ah, it's just so stunning. It's absolutely amazing.
I doubt that there will still be such a *young* *singer* with such a voice and emotional impact on people of absolutely *any* *nationality* ! This is confirmed by millions of views from all over the world!
LOVE,LOVE GUY,WORDS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THE WHOLE SONG THROUGH. ALL HIS SONGS ARE WRITTEN SO WELL WITH SO MUCH EMOTION. HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING HIM EVER SINCE HE STARTED. NEVER GET TIRED OF HIS VOICE.
Yess Nina I agree alongside some of the previous comments made. I'm from California and have been listening to Guy Sebastian throughout the years this being one of the few of his latest songs that ive seen anyone react too! I'm so glad you did and he needs more recognition for his songwriting capabilities and not to mention Vocals! Thanks for this reaction!
We never 'turn down' Guy here in Aussieland. He's a Master Class and a thoroughly decent 'guy' too. The rest of the world is just catching on to this massive talent. Justifiably. Enjoy!
Guy not only won Australian Idol, but when he represented Oz at World Idol, Simon Cowell said he probably had the best voice, but he took exception to Guy's look back then, when he had his fro... hardly fair I would have thought!
Great review..and your right he should well known in the UK but sadly so many people haven't heard of him.this song and performance are amazing and IV introduced so many people to guys music via this song and all loved it.
All the way from Canada. I have been watching Guy since his Australia The Voice 2003 win, and to see him as a youngster then, he has surely matured into a handsome young man, very loving husband to Jules and father to his two beautiful boys. O.M.G. he has it going on and should be more recognized, world over. But that's okay, he's honed his craft well over the years and has come into his own rights. Just keep being humble Guy, and keep those "money notes - your vocals" well oiled. Keep charming us with your songs. 😊😊🙌🙌
We love Guy in Australia. He not only sings like an angel. He also writes his own music and music for others. Brilliant live, He is currently a judge on the Voice Australia, sharing his gift with others. Glad you have found him
Nina, I totally enjoyed your evaluation. The things you draw attention to were everything I love about this song musically! The background of his friend committing suicide makes the song even more poignant. I just discovered Guy a couple of months ago and I love his singing. He also seems to be salt of the earth, he and his wife. I'm from Canada and am glad I ran into your evaluations on RU-vid. I look forward to watching more going forward.
Excellent. From a young age, Guy has thrown himself into arranging the songs that he sings. Without wishing to be simpy, Guy Sebastian is blessed IMO by the musical gods, a smart cookie, and a good bloke.
Now you know why I think he's so beautiful and his voice and vibrato are so GORGEOUS and why I've listened to this song 1,000 xs. I adore his runs and drop offs. WHEW. ⚰ He. Is. Amazing. ❤
Cannot stop listening to his songs lately, especially this one, he is such a great song writer and singer. Glad he's getting more recognition around the world. Check out his duet with Johnny Manuel on the voice Australia, amazing.
Your reaction went for 6.47 minutes. You made excellent observations and comments. I have seen reaction videos to this song run for 15 minutes and more. Thankyou for being succinct. Well done, appreciate your brevity.
Liked and Subscribed. Love your 'Reaction' and your analysis of Guy's voice. He wrote this after a he found out his cousin was in a bad head space. The words are so powerful. I love this 'live' version but I suggest you also see his video as it's received critical acclaim and has been nominated for 'Video of the Year in our Australian ARIA Awards. He won Song of the Year last year with 'Choir' another stunning song he wrote to celebrate the life of a long time friend and band member who took his own life. Posted your reaction in our Guy Fan page...Look forward to more Guy Sebastian Nina
hi there, if you like Guy than you should definitely hear his new song he wrote for his wife , the song is called Believer, try to listen the live version he did at The Voice , cheers
You seriously need to binge-watch Guy. Like a Drum is awesome as well, but phew, this song is great. Thanks for the run-down. Check out his audition on Australian Idol. You'll be amazed at the transformation.
i remember always thinking guy Sebastian was a global name and everybody knows him because he is an incredible singer and i grew up with him but only like a couple years ago realised so many people dont know about him which is just crazy Edit: if you get the chance to see him live you have to, hearing him in person is magnificent
Guys amazing, he was the first winner of Australian idol. I love to watch hi. Sing, he’s captivating. He’s very popular here I. Australia, but your right, he should be more popular in the uk and the world. He wrote that song fir his cousin , who was suffering from depression . The first time I heard that song it brought my to tears. Then having his vocal ability on top of that beautiful song. Just amazing. Every time I hear this song it stops me in my tracks. Love guy
Standing With You. The song was inspired by a family member who was suffering with mental health and was brave enough to speak up and share his battle with depression
He writes the most beautiful songs. Amazing writer. Amazing singer. One of the few who actually sound better live and get better everytime a new album comes out.
