[LockhartAlvin]

i think as the time between 2:00 and 2:16 passed i started to become drawn into his voice with a force beyond explanation, it was something like a vortex lol

[leelatlee]

Love this performance, what a great voice.

[bojkof85]

wow amazing voice

[Forwardthinker22]

This performance was one of his best on Australian Idol. Fantastic!

[Wuzimu4444]

Still one of my favorite covers. Needs more views.

[mairanya1]

@Wuzimu4444 Of course I agree!

[MegaSmurf1212]

What a voice!

[mairanya1]

@MegaSmurf1212 @darvo619 Sorry - the system isn't working and I've only just been shown some of these old comments to approve. Thanks for commenting anyway. I don't have a clue what that instrument is but now the comment shows maybe someone else will know. Sorry!

[MegaSmurf1212]

It's enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Wow!

[darvo619]

any idea what's that musical instrutment is that guy using at 1.33-1.40?

[Prinsexee]

I LOVE YOU !!!!

[chiligin]

mmhhhmmmm you got iit loveee ittt(=

[3ricaj2010]

h3zz cut3

[Ghosts2Girl]

if he was on american idol he deffinately would have gotten praise for this performance!

[ally12081992]

This is amazing but the Judges bagged him for this performance I have no idea why!

[mairanya1]

@ally12081992 I stopped watching very early on - after Heaven Knows - because they praised ordinary or bad performances and couldn't give him the credit he deserved. I'm glad it hasn't affected at all what he's done since though. Thanks for the comment.

[Anthologist22]

@ally12081992 I don't think the judges actually bagged him for this performance. They just didn't give him the credit due to such a stunning performance. Even John Foreman (the musical director) protested, saying that the build up to the huge note in the middle was nothing short of brilliant.

[Forwardthinker22]

Definitely one of the best performances ever on IDOL. Anthony is superb and masterful in his delivery in any genre he likes to sing

[joeymiller35]

He is so amazing. He should of been named Australian Idol. I can't believe how great his voice.

[blykid007]

approved...

[wizard101944]

i support you.

[schnookmz]

Spunkalicious Song God.

[guubuus]

Drop dead divine performance of this song. Anthony Callea's voice reigns supreme.

[HellynHighwater]

For me the best voice to come out of Australian Idol.

Wonderful.

[mimaconnect]

Spectacular. I already loved Anthony when I heard this song. This song made him my favorite singer.

[LittleCloserBoi]

Loved the vocal... he made it totally original. <3

[Sarahmac2008]

OMG you have an amazing voice. You should try out for American Idol!

[funkypunkyskachick]

He was runner up on Austrailian Idol in 2004

[mairanya1]

Yes, he's way beyond being an Idol contestant by now!

[hlenn1302]

why are there very few views on this video?

& why arent you as 'BIG' a celeb here in australia ?

your awesome bro ! very talented

[Forwardthinker22]

hlenn1302, Thanks for your comment. These clips have been put up then removed , then reinstated a number of times. This version was put back up in 2007, which is why the full number of views will never be known.

Anthony is well known in Australia.... but doesn't get the kind of exposure that artists in the US get.

[mairanya1]

Clips that had been up longer used to receive more attention than this one. It wasn't really noticed until they were taken down.

[JoeNatic120794]

singapore love u anthony. (:

[guubuus]

SUPERBOS!!

[anthnfi]

Beautiful

[lifestooshort28]

This was an outstanding performance. Double touchdown!

[schnookmz]

It should have been another Grand Royale touchdown!

[waly93]

Absolutely!

[alchsam]

I play this song a lot, I love the maturity in Anthony's voice in this song.

[HellynHighwater]

Loved it then - love it now.

Such a powerful, passionate voice!

[nonnapat]

I just love watching and listening to Anthony's brilliant version of this beautiful song. Even after all this time it is still in my top favourites of Anthony's songs. The wonderful control Anthony's possesses is just amazing and that long note WOW. He really is The Master of Song. Thank You Mairanya1 for posting this incredable video. Anthony you are truely a star.

[mlke]

i like this guy

[waly93]

I think I was your 16,000'th view of this beautiful performance, I never get tired of watching. So underated, what a voice.

[barbiem1989]

Wow. Great!

[kenji387]

he should have won!!!!!

[joaooo222]

Breathtaking!

You gotta a portuguese Fan!

[mistoffelees980]

That was absolutly AMAZING! He has a beautiful voice.

[Miguelito203]

I am surprised he chose this song, given how much lower his voice is than Brian's. It was diff. than Brian's but still good. I like how he sustains notes. He isn't even going full force, either.

[timvicente]

woow!!

[PRNeneChulo]

that note at 2:03 just had me!!!!!!!!

[Monipeponi]

That long note at 2:02....amaaaazing !! He just makes my hearth melt.

[rwa92]

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[philemar17]

wow...amazing.,.for the first time i saw this video it feels great to hear him singing.continue doing that,.wow

[Forwardthinker22]

This performance is masterful from the first note to the last. One of his finest performances on Idol.

[mandadodol]

what a voice!!

I wish I could had voice like him!

Two big big thumbs way up!

greetings from Indonesia :D

[spartyutube]

His voice is so "macho" lol i love it ! *sigh*

[lifestooshort28]

This is a fantastic performance. Even better (in my view) than the original Brian McKnight version. Much richer and fuller and more dramatic.

[maykondobg]

wandering the youtube video I saw him aid already know there is little time his cd? sing a lot.

[mairanya1]

He has released two albums and is working on his third. He hopes that will be ready before the end of the year. I hope that's what you wanted to know. He often sings songs that are not on his albums, so yes there are lots of different songs and he has been well-known now for over four years.

[PatronRick]

THIRD ALBUM!? WHOA =D

[irishgirl092]

what kind of idol show ] i love this version one of my fave covers of this song omg he can sing i love it

[mairanya1]

It was Australian Idol, 2004. I hope you can catch up with some of what he's done since then - there's a lot of it!

[nonnapat]

This is one of my very favourites of Anthony's from Idol. The power and passion in his voice is just amazing. Anthony really is the King of Vocals his voice is just outstanding and when he held that long note I thought I'd gone to heaven. Thank You Mairanya for posting this outstanding video. Thank You Anthony for singing with so much passion this incredable song.

[unjaded2]

fantastic , wish he would come and tour in america

[Kelly110160]

Anthony did a great job of The Prayer on Idol but this is just as good in my opinion. I love those low notes at the beginning.

[MEE051677]

His voice makes me sick! I wish i could have a 1/4 of his talent!!!

[magictos]

it still puzzles me why this performance never got a touchdown :S

well.. mark is an idiot most of the times anyway haha

[boqit2me]

Terrific!

[armand1484]

What a note! Great lungs. I cannot get enough of this man's voice. I hope he makes it big in the states one day. I think he should duet with Leona Lewis. Two beautiful people with amazing voices. That would be a hit.

[Forwardthinker22]

Agreed. Such a duet would be great! I don't know if you've listened to any of his duets, but I think he is really good at singing with, and harmonising with other people. Try listening to "Come what may" with Kate Ceberano and "Get here" with Tim Campbell. Brilliant!

[UrFACE1984]

I remember hearing this song when I was growing up. It was popular, and he does a really nice job of interpreting the lyrics, and his voice fits it nicely. Good job!

[aldoc]

best voice comon man he shuld be world famous

[carlsburgh]

brilliant ,great voice,wat a star

[nonnapat]

Anthony is really the King of Vocals. His interpretation of this song is exquisite and that long note is just heavenly. The best voice I have ever heard.

[IHEARTANTH]

@nonnapat Well said nonnapat i agree with you...... The best voice i have ever heard!!!!!!!

[akcutecub]

This man is glorious. I just watched this after catching up with performances from last week's Top 4, and Anthony just blows them all away. The best Idol EVER!

[waly93]

This was touchdown material. That voice is just gloreous, he can sing anything.
