  • touch down

  • Never get sick of this song. He was always going to be a superstar!

  • Thanks for uploading! One of my all time favorite moments on TV. Guy is the only Australian Idol who is a true artist, not just another singer.

  • I love this guy, because I see Stevie Wonder through him...Great voice, singing and passion !!

  • still makes me cry! wow seen 100s of times

  • look at marcia !!

    haahhahha

  • geile stimme

    

  • saw Guy live at Beresford on Tuesday. His voice is richer, stronger and just purely amazing. And he's got such a great sense of humour, was an incredible show. Really waiting for his #7 album. Guy's the only OZ male artist who's got five #1 singles, and all except the very 1st are his own tracks. What an artist!

  • love this. Love Guy

  • did he win in this competition????

  • @kimrod17 Yes he did :)

  • who is the first runner up????cause he is the champion right??

  • @kimrod17 A guy named Shannon Noll came second

  • i can't believe it is giving me a over thousand goosebumps

  • I always get goose bumps when I here this, awesome

  • Hahahaha how did anyone ever think it was a good idea to put Mark Holden on TV? :P

  • still gives me goosebumps everytime i watch it

  • Guy's performance is fantastic, but the band makes this incredible!

  • @ilovedaisyt Please!! Its an orchestra! John and Guy worked hard for this, always loved to watch John conducting. Anyone remember his free performance of "When I Get You Alone" when John literally jumped in the air whilst conducting? They BOTH loved it so much, and so did we. The track made it onto one of his singles.

  • @prinia agreed. i don't think it's a coincidence that idol started going downhill after john left!

  • @ilovedaisyt John was definitely an integral part of the show. He has a website, and I used to keep up with what he was doing, but unfortunately don't live in his part of Aus. He's so talented in his own right, used to love his TV show, I think there's a few youtubes around, with say Tim Freedman, and Guy etc. When John was interviewed a few years ago he loved this perf., said it 'just happened', makes it special 2 both

  • Fantastic...

  • This is back when Guy Sebastian had his famous Afro LOL-Thank goodness he got rid of it so people could focus on how good a singer he is rather than his hairstyle hehe-love this song <3 Go Guy! :-D

  • Wow ... I think Marcia Hines had an orgasms! ... lol

  • It's fantastic

  • i remember watching this in 2003

  • ah good old touch downs... how i miss those days

  • I think this is the equal best version of this song ever - along with the original in the musical. It's sung with such genuine passion and understanding. Actually, I think this is one of the best live performances of any song, EVER.

  • I think this is the equal best version of this song ever - along with the original in the musical. It's sung with such genuine passion and understanding.

  • Comment removed

  • It's now 2011 & I still can't stop myself from getting emotional. I just love it.

  • Guy actually "lived' this song, you can tell. Extraordinary version - no wonder everyone was cheering and standing up, even the other contestant's brother (who's a pretty good musician too)

  • I agree with Marcia. "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

  • Guy's version is exciting! The other live versions on YouTube are dull, dull, dull.

  • also unusual is that nicermguy says hes from USA and he's touting June Bronhill who was an Australian singer, sang lots of opera and who died in 2005. Im surprised he knows about her is all

  • ha ha nicermguy didnt even listen to it. June sang it like the show. Guy did his own, magic thing. It was in 2003

  • what year was this?

  • Unforgettable, breathtaking, Guy brought the house down that night and the rest of the country too!

  • Nikki's is beautiful, but she sang it in the usual way, this one is really different. She is good, but I prefer Guy's

  • The version of Nikki is way much better!!!

  • Argh I just love him! Such an amazing talent and an absolute sweetheart.

  • Like for the amount of times Marcia says "Yes!" :)

  • brilliant, amazing GUY!!

  • awsome!

  • That last note he sang, "Til' you find your DREAM.....", you can just feel the electricity shoot through the audience. He has a unique and wonderful voice. And the ability to connect with an audience that few performers have. A wonderful performance.

  • this is such a surprising arrangement when he sings it. Like, you don't expect THIS!

  • This is so wonderful. Guy sings with such a beautiful tone and such great emotional expression. What a wonderful voice!

  • The best.

  • LOVE IS ALL WE NEED

  • Do this, pass it on and you are then a soldier of L.O.V.E

  • All you have to do to join the Army of L.O.V.E is . . .

  • Will you join Michael and I in The Army of L.O.V.E ?

  • I still get tingles when I hear this rendition, just like the first time!

  • @artejal yeah me too. Was amazing then and still is.

  • i always wanted to know why he was crying

  • @gaam72 well his mother had been away in India for almost the whole of the competition, & I think the whole family almost were there, & other people started to get all emotional and sort of near crying & so it sort of got to Guy. Oh and he used to say that he'd been working nearly 36 hours straight sometimes, working out songs to give them his own version. AND he'd have had extra pressure because he'd worked on a song but found out that Shannon was singing that, so he had to change it at last.

  • Still LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this xxxxxx

  • they shifted all guy sebastian videos over to VEVO! Lost some videos and the views have got to start all over again instead of being in the millions!! ALWAYS happens with Guy's stuff, anyhow you can find him now on guysebastianVEVO

  • the ONLY prblem i have with this vid is that host

  • "jaw drop" that is. I'm somewhat tired, having come back from the Lionel and Guy show. New songs!!

  • interstingly in every other version of this song that he has sung which is uploaded on youtube, he has not been able to replicate the high notes that he hit in this version

  • @akatsikalis not sure whether you wish for the 'high notes' or the replication of this song. If you're wondering whether he can still hit high notes, try "Black & Gold" at Australia Zoo, where he freestyled & its really truly outstanding. If you are talking 'exactly' the same as here - no, he hasn't. He doesn't. Which is why fans dont miss a show if they can help it. There is always a unique stunner at his shows, something to make the jaw job

  • you are my favorite singer guy sebastian. u are so amazing and blessed with our powerful GOD. GOD bless u

  • Guy Sebastian is my cousin IAM FAMOUS

    WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • @DoorStopper97 No, no you're not.

  • @PhroshStar iam hes second cousin

    iam not lieing

    trust me

  • @DoorStopper97 I never said you weren't his cousin. I just said you weren't famous. Second cousin of Guy Sebastian is hardly a claim to fame. Maybe if you were his mum or dad, brother or sister, or even his child... Then you would be famous.. But you're not.

  • @PhroshStar

    touchy touchy

    god i was just being silly.

  • Still love this version and its been years lol !!

  • @Serielle I agree. Funny how I just have a listen now and then, to see whether it WAS as good as I remember. And it was!

  • i love this song...that was soo good...

    

  • most AWESOME performance!!! After this, he had it won. It was like 73% vote or something

  • i think putri ayu sang better, check : putri ayu the sound of music

  • Marcia Hines is such a ridiculous woman. This performance was average at best, and there she is HAVING AN ORGASM on live television? Wrong! She was probably playing with herself underneath the table.

  • @bluezombie56 so marcia was a little over the top. i agree. but that performance was beyond average. the entire audience went nuts. people dont do that for average.

  • @bluezombie56 - It is regrettable that people find it necessary to air their immaturity on these forums - the genuine music lovers would rather you stick to porn sites and stop invading their space.

  • Yeah? to estagrenfell?? You spammer, along with the other names you go under! I'm guessing you are spreading a nasty little virus, seeing you keep giving different links.

  • touchdown

  • The grand champion at Australian Idol! Great inspirational song. :D

  • australian idol got stale right after the first season.

  • I really miss 2003, best idol performance ever that year :'(

  • 22 people were dropped when they were babies

  • that's my idol..

  • I got goosbumps first time I saw this

  • If he sung this at that world idol gig he woulda won

  • @tubber53 i thought the same thing when i first saw the world idol. "He's not singing climb every mountain? why is that?" It was the best song that she sung. He def woulda won if he sang it.

  • Anyone think that if Guy had've performed this at the World Idol he would have done better than 6th place?

    I can still remember being mesmerized by thisprformance when I saw it. Wonderful.

  • to rember this when he was an contestant and until now a x factor

    judge hes amazing

  • JIZZZ

  • Yeah @m0bscafe Guy Sebastian is totally awesome. This performance is so different from everyone else's, he put this on the "All I Need is You" single when it came out in '04, too. And last year in '09 he had the top selling OZ single "Like it Like That" it went 3P+ and now "Who's That Girl" which I LOVE just out, under Guysebastian channel on youtube

    He's just so amazing.

  • lol....marcia's jumping up and down for joy!

  • lol! marcia was so happy that she was jumping up and down!

  • wow this guy is really amazing,,..pure talent

  • 1/2 stuff he does never makes media, or gets to be known. U just have to look at his body of work to realise, sometimes. He's so amazing. Like he does little shows sometimes, & once did a big charity gig because they had a cricket game scheduled the next day & he LOVES playing cricket.

  • As soon as he sang that, he won the competition.

  • ..Don't know WHY this guy never blew up..not to say that he has been a failure, or anything, yet stil, he was definitely SUPPOSED to be an international superstar, smh!

  • @Thkmra partly - because he's been so busy. Honestly. 04 he was in Asia, US, New Zealand, recording 2 albums, had big show, & ALWAYS used for big conferences, pvte gigs etc. Like he's done World Vision too, & more Asian stuff & then its like Memphis & OZ tour with Steve Cropper & Blues Bros band (MGs) & World Youth Day & his own Sydney Opera House shows. NEVER stops! He's a workaholic. Even xfactor, he turned down 3 times!

  • Watch any version of Guy singing this song for all you kids that are bullied and anyone thinking they cant go on -Don't give up climb every mountain until you find your dream watch this every day until then.

  • now you know it is possible for a female to orgasm to a mans voice alone...... lmao @martha at the end hahahaha

  • if he sung this at world idol he wud of won for sure :)

  • this week of idol cemented his entire future. so awesome

  • I always liked this song in the movie...I LOVE LOVE LOVE this version :-)

  • see where Guy's got another album coming and a new single out soon. So the website's been updated. Got to say though, the official Forum is where my wife spends most her time.

  • I love this song.. very good, 1 of the most very talented Idols in the World...

  • yep, awesome then and even better now, 8 years down and something like 11 years or more recording (just didnt have a record deal before 2003). Really looking forward to the new album soon

  • I remember watching this and knowing after watching it that he was going to win the whole thing, because there was no way any of the other contestants could match that, let alone top it.

  • Ah, yes, memories. You blew me away then, Guy, and you still blow me. Away.

  • @loadabollocks haha, classy.

  • the final high note he did what must have been going his mind is "HOLY F****" and he he wiped away a tear

  • i love him i love him i love him still to this very day! and the min i saw him i knew he was the winner. that shit gives me goosebumps. ill always love u guy sebastion

  • how cute is marcia when shes jumping up and down LOL

    this was back when idol was actually GOOD

  • lol back when tv used to be shit

  • song is great, video quality is shit...

  • Unbelievable 

  • Every time I get shivers.  Seven years on and you're still blowing them away Guy!!

  • What a powerful and sweet voice. That doesn't usually come in the same package.

  • soulful ^^,

  • this is why he won

  • @xxDancingBabyxx i always thought he won coz all of us Christians got together and voted for him, I was told to vote for him at youth group by the youth pastor

  • @pretty24fly what a lot of bull poo!! Obvious from your profile you're only here to make mischief. Jealousy is a curse eh? Seeing he's gone on for 8 years and major sales and got the highest selling single in Australia for the last 10 years, think says a lot for his talent - not to mention he sold 3P for his first single off his latest album last year. Get a life

  • @pretty24fly nah, he won because he was the standout of the season and had the best voice.

  • @xxDancingBabyxx he was awesome wasn't he! See how the whole crowd starts to stand, even the brother of the other contestant stands up for this one, they were just so excited with it.

  • guy sebastian is from klang malaysia..:) we love you guy:) 

  • OMG what beautiful memories. Australia was sold by this time. Still adore his voice!!!

  • did he win

  • @1lisai oh yeah!!! 2003 and now he has five albums, got the top selling single for the last 10 years, and 4 #1 singles which is awesome for Australia. Just moving to Los Angeles. Try his youtubes. Oh, he's been chosen by Simon Cowell to be a judge on Australian Xfactor too :P He's GORGEOUS!

  • dis has got 2 b da best idol singer eva n oz eeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvaaaaaaa

  • beautiful...an amazing live vocal performace..no ofense to christina, I think this version is better

  • Follow every rainbow, till you find your dream!

  • i am really really amazed with guy sebastian..... i've always dreamed to be like him..... i know i can follow his footsteps... ill just have to climb harder :))

  • superb performance this is the stuff he needs to do. It may be corny but beautifull

  • i love that he got emotional in the middle. there is just something about this song that evokes a powerful rush of goosebumps down my spine.

  • see where some of guy's live performances from the US made it onto utube

  • Mark Holden looks like an absolute dickhead when he does that touchdown. Looking back at it now it lloks so stupid but when I watched it live it didnt. So fucking dumb TOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCH DOWN what a fuckhead

  • Hey, Guy is playing Hotel Cafe Monday June 7 in LA, and then Sainte Rocke on June 8 AND San Diego on June 10. He's fitting in a gigs before his next OZ tour & then he returns to the USA because they're living in Los Angeles now

  • Ahhh.!!! It gave me goose bumps he is amazing ahhh i wanna cry cas hes so good its sounds lame but i reckon his voice is so amazing and when he sings a song he always brings out the story in the song and thats why i love it so much.

  • Yeah Yeah Mr Milo, I've met both Guy and his gorgeous wife Jules over the years, you are a complete idiot.

  • watta wonderful voice!!!!!!!

  • I saw this when it aried on TV.. so moving!! It still effects me the same way today

  • I remember this episode. I was like, wow. There was another song he also did that was a-mazing!

  • @bedgee yeah. When he sang the other song that night Di cko said after he was the best unsigned talent he'd ever seen and Di cko was with Sony then so he knew what he was talking about. Unfortunately someones complained and so Guy's idol songs get taken down every couple of years. Last time they were about to make a million views.

  • best performance idol has ever seen

    also mark holden being a tool as usual

  • i like this song

    its make me cry

    good job guy

  • shut the fuck up marsha.

  • Marcia is such a fruitcake! =P

  • Comment removed

  • passionate...

  • lmao at Marcia

    "Yes! yes! yes! yes! YES!"

    xD

  • Such a fantastic moment. , so inspiring. He often sings this on tour as always requested. Havn't seen this in a while but still brings goosebumps.

  • WOW, what a voice. If this version doesn't inspire one to follow one's dreams, then nothing will! May God richly bless him and use his talent to encourage others to seek thier truest goals. I plan to listen to this often to keep me on the path of my dreams!

  • Comment removed

  • After all these years it still raises a goosebump or two. Six years on, with 2 singles and album in the charts right now, and he's still as sweet as he ever was. And sings better and better and better.....

  • I reckon this is the best Australian Idol performance ever, and I watch idol every year, I still get goose bumps listening it now... well done Guy!

  • Most versatile artist to ever come out of Australian music - can sing anything brilliantly. Absolutely adore you Guy. Thank God the world is catching on.

  • wow so amzing...nice dude

  • i love love love him

  • Listen to GUY's new youtube video cover of 'The Climb' (Miley Cyrus' original)- you'll love it!

  • superb...the best

  • if you like this, try his "I've Been Loving You Too Long" from The Memphis Album, or the Memphis Tour (Live). Guaranteed to get you right here *thumps heart*

  • wow, that made me cry

  • his voice wavers like when cher's goes into another dimension on "believe"

  • i love it! amazing

  • won 2003, been recording but no contract before, won prize for his own song "No More" before Idol even came in & built his 1st studio, and how releasing his FIFTH studio album in Oct. '09, (already has 6 on iTunes) and those albums are totally AWESOME. So many fab. tracks that only his fans have heard! Amy Pearson should have released her duet with Guy (his own track) "We Both Know", Eran James has 1 of his tracks . Guy's music just outstanding, covering anything at all. I've even heard him Rap

  • If I could give multiple thumbs up for that comment, I would.
