  • OMG... i love him,i love his songs, and now, i love him more

  • i love anthony...i always have and always will

  • Beautiful and emotional words to an amazing song. Why dont we all live for love. Once in a lifetime I pray everyone has that one person in their lives that you would do anything for, because that day is the day you realize that yes, you do live for love. Lindy I live and breathe for you, thank you for sharing a wonderful life with me. rip my angel, I miss you so much

  • Everything about this song is so beautiful, the lyrics, the music, the clip and especially that voice!

    Lovely, lovely song!

  • I love this. I play it when traffic drives me almost crazy and feel instant calm. I don't know why it didn't create the same sensation as The Prayer did.

  • I agree with you Hellyn. Anthony's vocals are so exquisite and beautiful and he is really appreciated by the greatest of artists for his musicality. The message in this beautiful song is so inspiring to us all. It always brings tears to my eyes and has since the very first time I ever heard it. So breathtakingly beautiful. Anthony is a heavenly shining star.

  • So Good!!

  • Truly an artist for those who appreciate great vocals and innate musicality.

    A singers singer, praised by vocalists such as Pavarotti and Celine Dion and by award winning somgwriters including Stephen Schwartz and Brabra Griffin.

    Superb!

  • Why in ITALY nobody knows him? :-(

  • During Pavarotti's tour of Australia, Anthony was flown to Perth to sing The Prayer at a concert after-party. Pavarotti wanted to introduce him in Italy, but he was already very sick and died some moths later. Separately from that, Anthony was due to perform in Italy a few years ago but cancelled it when a long engagement came up here.  I really hope he's promoted more to the world before long. Maybe you could request his music in Italy?

  • OMG, I love him. What a voice. Such an inspirational song, he made me cry. God Bless you!

  • The world is a better place having Anthony in it. He can put words to the most amazing emotions we all feel. Knowing that we are here for such a short time, why is it no one lives for love, how true. I know I did, I lived for love, to know it could end tomorrow, know that you lived for love. Miss you Lin, love you till the end of time..

  • Gorgeous voice, gorgeous song and a gorgeous message.

    ( Gorgeous face too, just quietly ;-) )

  • love this song i love anthony and was sooo disappointed when he didnt win idol!

  • the tune of the song sounds really familiar...like i've heard it in a another song before.

  • This is a most beautiful song sung with so much passion by Anthony with a wonderful message for us all. I absolutely LOVE it and have from the first time I heard it.. Anthony has the most equisite unique voice and his songs have such wonderful lyrics and messages I LOVE listening to every song he sings. Thank You musicmonkey100 for posting this outstanding video. Thank You Anthony for sharing your incredable talent with us all.

  • Its really all about the music, and he's a gorgeous young man with a wonderful voice and an extremely happy person. As long as he continue to share his wonderful talent thats all that should matter.

  • maybe you should take that up with the media.

  • Can't you just forget about it? It doesn't change his singing in any way.

  • muz:

    Well, I'll try.

  • no he is australian with an itailian background.

  • whoz this is he american or european??i never heard abt him...

  • my friend told me this guy had an amzing voice...i now completely 100% believe him.

  • Find that special someone that one day you can look back and say, yes, I lived for love. Enjoy your life and fill your heart with others. Lindy I miss you my love, RIP. I will always love you, and know that yes, we both lived for love. Forever in my heart.

  • Hello harleyguy - good to see you around again. It's such a beautiful message isn't it, in a beautiful performance.

  • while he was forced to "come out" I'm very pleased he chose to not "hide" any more. He has a wonderful gift and I enjoy listening to him sing.

  • What a great singer! Where can we get this music/

  • This is from Anthony's second album 'A new chapter" available from Sony.

  • this guy is really good.

  • This is such a beautiful video, it would be just perfect for the World Peace festival. What an amazing voice and presence he has.

  • That's just not true. He's one of Australia's busiest and most popular performers and there are lots of recent clips to show why. !

  • You live in Malaysia, so you probably don't have much of an idea of how busy he has been in the last 12 months and how much unreality there is in your comment. One of his busiest yet, he's currently working on his 3rd album after finishing a 6 month run in the blockbuster broadway musical Wicked. He toured with Celine Dion, did shows at the Sydney Opera House and starred in the Tv show It Takes Two, to name a few things from 2008.

  • _his voice is totally awesOme since i heared his song "per syempre" i searching this song in youtube and wondering if whose the person behind that amazing song,and im surprise his so adorable and talented!!!_

  • Per Sempre was co-written by Anthony callea and Steve Balsamo a well-known (British, I think) songwriter. They also wrote 'Now you're gone" together, which you can see on Youtube.

  • I just found a beautiful live version he did of this song on the show 9 am, I didn't see it anywhere on YouTube though. URL's can't be posted here so I've posted the URL on my Channel Comments...you'll have to cut and paste it in your address bar if you want to see it, sorry!

  • You might have to type "Mark Amato" in the search engine on that page, it's the first video that comes up. I'm surprised it's not on YouTube yet!

  • wow,,, i really like this guy,,,i love his song, i love his face....

    mhaycko,,,from phil

  • I can NOT get over this boy, so good! Australia is so lucky! and is one hell of an awesome place. wish he would come to Canada, i would be front and center to any and all of his shows. its because of him that iv come to terms with who i really am and i just want to say, thank you Anthony so very much. i hope one day i get the privilege of meeting you. thanx again! p.s this song is AMAZING!!

  • Yes we are lucky in Oz to have this remarkable young singer. I'm so pleased that you like his voice. It's great that his honesty and self belief has also helped you. best wishes from Australia.

  • Beautiful song! Beautiful voice! Beautiful guy!!! lol

  • Fantastic song and singer Anthony your the best

  • its very gentile....

  • he looks very clean, nice skin nice hairstyle, same as mine.

    Anthony well you marry me? <3 its my dream but who knows, you may come to new york in some entertainment. im half russian-spanish model in new york, but meh hiding myself or i'll lose my job.

    we're at the same age, i think im really inlove with you....

    so sad :( i just keep dreaming about you.

  • wow, your words are so touching... I'm a Chinese student in Melbourne. Maybe I will have a chance to see Anthony by myself. I heard that the male models in the world are nearly all gay men... It sounds like an open secret... dont know if it is true... By the way, Im gay either and I'm proud of who I am.

  • Half russian-spanish model...wow...must be very very cute...

  • with his per syempre song video, he looks like my ex bf i could rate 95% alike, my long lasting secret relationship where we both decided to give it up, he is hiding too. meeting in canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico to get away from anything. My Ex is half Filipino-Canadian he belongs to high class family where he cant reveal himself else he wont get anything from his filipino dad.

    cant reveal who i am and what i am, aside of losing my job, my family will curse me.

  • Sorry to hear that, man. My boyfriend just dumped me last month, because I am studying in Melbourne for 1 year, he doesnt wanna wait for me in China anymore. And he is hiding 2. He said he would marry someday. .. But I wont. I will find a man who really loves me. The one who is willing to accompany me for a life! I wont give up!

  • u go girl!!!

    [thums up for the positive atitude]

  • nice meaningful song <3 i love it. he sings great. heavinly!!!

  • Dont let life pass you by. I hope every one gets to experience that one special love, friend, partner, soul mate that we all should have. Lindy, your my love, I lived for you, I loved for you. The angels came and you were gone. I miss you every min of every day. Everyone should Live for Love, it makes life so much more.....

  • there will be a day when you'll be together again :)

  • Well he's singing it, isn't he, so there seems to be no problem. If you want to write another song for him, why not do it? He has such a beautiful voice.

  • I guess you need to learn how to spell "Write" first.

  • I live in Winnipeg, Canada. I stumbled onto his performance of The Prayer on Australian Idol and was blown away. One of the best voices I have ever heard, it's hard to stop listening! So powerful, passionate, expressive, and inspiring. Is his recording company just not interested in marketing him internationally? At any rate I'm helping to spread the word and I plan to order his CDs on Amazon. I'm sure lots of people here would take notice if they knew about him.

  • I think lots of Anthony's fans are hoping for him to be marketed internationally. There certainly seems to be enough interest. I'm glad you've discovered him - you've a lot of clips to catch up on!

  • Im so glad that people are starting to notice him Internationaly!

    By the Way, Its his 26th birthday on saturday!

    Happy Birthday Anth:D

  • omg i love this song

    sadly its truee

    no one lives for love any more.

  • The process of him becoming world wide phenomena is too slow a process for me.I dont have the patience.I want him to be globally famoous now.I just dont understand why he's not famous, especially in America.I have written numerous letters to Oprah about him, My ultimate wish is to see him on Oprah singing a duet of PRAYER with Beyonce like Celine did with Josh Groban.I'll faint. I am so in love with his voice, its not funny.

  • Just beautiful. He's excellent in Wicked, but I can't wait to hear more of his own music from him, to do justice to this glorious voice.

  • Very beautiful song and interpretation by Anthony, he's one of a kind and so very talented. Absolutely adore him as Boq as well, but can't wait for his new music in 2009.

  • Thank you for the clip... Absolutely beautiful

  • Thanks for the clip. It's wonderful to hear Anthony's beautiful voice in a song with such a strong positive message. Hopefully more and more people will understand and learn. He really is a master vocalist - thanks for the clip.

  • I love him!

  • i love this song!

  • :)))ilyen hanghoz nincs szavam:))

  • 非常好听~~!!

  • There are many great singers, but few make the song convey the complete artistry as though a priced piece of art.  Amazing.

  • Anthony Callea - two days ago, I had never heard his voice/name. He shows that famcy pop lyrics of Justin Timberlake or less known extreme Lessero tennor David Phelps need to learn a great lesson from this man: Passion! Show it in every one, every phrase and mean it. He has a good voice, but many at Music universities world wide; he sets them apart with honest lyrics, a humble spirit, and a drive to do more, do better, and to do his personal best!

  • It's interesting watching more and more people overseas discover Anthony, although he hasn't been promoted there. You have so much beautiful music to discover and I love your comments. This track is one of my favourites, but I do have many others.lol

  • He sooo Fit :P

  • Wow! Great voice, looks, and heart! Can't ask for more. (*_*)

  • his voice is really nice in this song

  • You are the best ANTHONY!!!

  • The best performance of this song. Thank Anthony :-)

  • Being alone now for four years seems to be an eternity. Dont loose you love for who means the most to you. Lindy this ones for you, I lived and breathed for you everyday, you filled my heart with so much love and let me know that two people can truly be in love. I miss you so much, RIP my love, I live every day for you, and for that one day we will reunite. xoxoxxoxo

  • I love this song, Anthony's performance and the video. If only it had been shown more at the time.

  • Well I guess you should go comment on Guys, Video's and stop making Idol comparisons. Guy was on Idol 5 years ago, and Anthony 4 years ago,they are artists in their own right now, get over Idol please, if you must make comparisons compare Guy to someone who sings his genre of music.

  • cute and a good singer!

  • u are so wrong..............gorgeous and a great singer

  • This has got to be one of the best and most genuinely powerful message songs I've ever heard. It's not schmaltzy, it's not over-the-top, none of this "We Are the World"-style thinly-veiled Schadenfreude--right to the point and directed from one vocalist to each person's individual soul. That's musical genius, and I don't know who wrote it, but he and Anthony Callea make Live Aid look like a PTA fundraiser in the sincerity department.

  • It has a very powerful message doesn't it. You should post your comments on his official Youtube Channel they are just starting to add his video's, this song should have been taken further.

  • I dedicate this emotional and beautiful song to my partner. He has passed, cancer took him at a young age, but this amazing song is how I feel about him. We lived for each other, and that will always be a special place for me. I love you Lindy, RIP my angel, you are loved.....:}

  • Hot guy with a hot voice!

  • This kid can do it all. Just an enormous talent. What a sad song. Timely.

  • Anthony the best... !!!!!!

  • wat a beautiful song i luv it

  • he is soooooo hot

  • WOW ERES UN GARNDE DE LA MÚSICA

  • As an American, this is my prayer for my country and the whole world!! If we all (including the USA) lived for love, this world would be a better place.

  • I watched Australian Idol on television,

    MY GOSH HEES ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

    gaah, his voice giives me buterflies :P

  • OMG! i love this song

  • my school's show choir is doing this for one of their songs.

  • Thats great, its a beautiful song, with so much meaning and Anthony has a such a gorgeous voice. How did you come to hear this song in the USA. Anthony Callea is an Australian singer and I didn't think his music has been released over there yet. But think its great that your school is doing this as one of their songs.

  • to be honest i have no idea. the choral director must've been looking at the different singers overseas for inspiration and came to anthony callea cuz of australian idol.

  • Thanks for that,and only if you get a chance and its possible when your next talking to the director could you ask him/her, how he came to chose the song. It just happens to be one of my favourites.

  • would u tell me how many parts the choral music is written?

  • and i can't really tell u that. i'm not actually in the show choir; my brother, however, is, which is how i know about them singing this in the first place.

  • Damn! He's really good!

  • anthony IS gay i AM gay and what I love you anthony

  • Beautiful song. Emotional, and what a classic voice. BRAVO

  • Harley, Anthony, has a beautiful soul as well. Have you seen the clip for his song 'Now Your Gone' the live performance he did on one of our morning shows, Kerrie Ann Kennerley. It may mean something special to you.

  • ok this guy can sing but what was he thinkin wearing that belt buckle?

  • wow

    great song for this world

    i wish that everyone thinks like him :)

  • This is such a beautiful song with such a heartfelt message. Anthony's voice is just sublime.

  • those v'neck shirts of his are starting to bug me...

  • Why??

  • Anthony, you are fantastic!!! keep on churning out more phenomenal album!!!

  • anthony callea is a new phenomenon singer. he´s great! his voice is incomparable!!!

  • i love this song,i really do...but where he's from ??

    Westlife Adoration XX

  • He's from Australia and has released two albums, both are fantastic.

    He toured with Westlife when they were in Australia earlier this year as well.

  • thank u [waly93] ...i just saw Anthony on the TV and i liked to download this song,coz it has lovely lyrics and it's all lovely,thnx

    bye

    Westlife Adoration XX

  • OKAY. I am in America. WHERE did you download it? I'm dying to find out where Australian's download music. Please advise.

  • Limewire?

  • Does he have any plans to introduce his music to the US? Love his stuff. Out of curiosity, who won over him? Sorry to say, tonight is the first I had ever heard of Australian Idol. Found it while listening to Kelly.

  • Would really love it if Sony released his music in the USA, he seems to have a lot of fans over there.You can buy his first album off iTunes but his second album isn't available only on Amazon.He is currently working on his 3rd album & just finished touring Australia with Celine Dion on her Taking Chances tour.There are some amazing clips on Anthony doing what he does best on Youtube. Check out my Favourites.

  • Glad you found him ddviolinist, he is an amazing young talent, and his Ballads are devine, check out my Favourites.

    Answer to your question, a female Casey Donovan, she was very young when she won and has gone very quite since then.

  • gorgeous

  • Why hasn't this guy made it big yet in North America???

  • We would love to know that as well jeffgerman. Lets hope Sony do something about that soon.

  • Because the American music industry is completely ignorant to the fact there are artists in other countries worth listening to.

    One dude on American Idol actually got asked if he could have chose a song sung by an American composer, after he did a song by an Australian one.

    What the heck?

  • Yea the guy from American Idol is David Archuleta, and he sang You're the Voice. He sang it amazingly, but the thing was Simon Cowell called it a theme park song.

    Anthony is an amazing singer!!

  • The American music industry mostly ignores ANYTHING that isn't hip/hop rap. Rock, R&B, and POP have been pushed off of "popular" radio by hip/hop. Despite the fact that that type of music has been stagnant since the late 80's, that's still what the US seems to want. Let them have it, but the rest of the world is no longer following America's tastes. There are SUPERSTARS that are famous everywhere EXCEPT the US. Most Americans have no idea who Robbie Williams or Kylie is. Anthony IS a STAR.

  • I don't like ANY of the american idols this year, lol, what makes you think I like David Cook because I don't like Archuleta?

    I don't like any of 'em. ._.

    I'm an Australian I don't see any of them being broadcast here.. they suck anyway so yeah..

    Love this song though.

  • LOL I'm not Australian or American...

    Ok. Enough of being sidetracked.

    ...all about Anthony. I LOVE HIM TO DEATH!!!!

    AMAZING SINGER!!!!! EEP!!

    He HAS to come to Canada to perform... :D

  • So glad you discovered him Chelsey he's one of our hidden treasures.

    There are over 500 clips on Youtube, so you have plenty to keep you occupied.Hopefully one day you will see him in Canada or the States.

    He's about to star in the Melbourne production of Wicked and also just finished playing Mark in RENT, (lots of video's on Youtube). He has an amazing voice and is an allround beautiful person. He's also working on his 3rd album due for release later this year. Welcome to the fan club. :)

  • he is beautiful

  • Coool song ! i love it !!!No one else lives for love!!!!! so émotionel!

  • ooo!i like tis song!its nice!

  • Ya callense dicen puras tonterias si es gay es gay y punto, shut up people if he want to be gay , its his problem, everybody get a life or lose in a forest!

  • i think he is more popular than guy subation now

  • Another superb power ballad sung brilliantly by the master of vocals.

  • such a talent!

    i hope he gives other young gay people the courage to come out!

  • he looks so DAMN HOT with the shaved hair, omg its not fair tht hes gay!

  • actually he wasnt the idol. he came runner up. but he done better than the actual idol of that year

  • yes he's gay... but he's also a very talented singer, and that's the industry he's in, so does it really matter at all? he's amazing, and he's the aus. idol for that reason. prossongha, i wish you all the best :)

  • i just went to his homepage officia site, it is so touching of what he have said about his coming out and how his family so supportive as well as his partner. I almost cried b/c it does takes a lot of effort and strength to come out never know how people and the world think of you. Im yet to come out and hopefully soon i will and that my fam will support me as well for who i am. This man is amazing and wish him nothing but the best.
