I cannot believe that YouTube has pulled his video "Epilepsy is Dancing" It is totally BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL! From their official site about that:

Latest news - January 27th, 2009: "Youtube has removed the Epilepsy is Dancing video because it is supposedly indecent!"

[LayItPlayItDown]

I cannot believe it either.

Especially since the video are up on YouTube anyways, uploaded by several "private" uploaders.

The original source can't upload it but you and i can = weird.

His eyes, his voice look so sweet and peaceful.... he makes me want to hug him and stay there in this friendly hug. Thanks from the heart, Anthony for everything you put in your inspiring music.....

[Moonlightrealgirl]

[Lucastitan]

I'm in love with his music. He's so sensitive.

11 october 2010, ELISA will be on stage in New York.

ANTONY, you're welcome!!!

[jaskov1]

You can tell he is such way because he was hurt all his life and is constantly sad. Because of that sadness and despair came his music and art.

[ostmagart]

@billyslad1 I think that I read that someone close to him has/had it.  In any case he seems to have a sympathetic understanding of it.

[billyslad1]

@ostmagart Does Antony have personal experience of epilepsy?

[RacePointLight]

antony is the mona lisa of our time.

[Horushu]

The simple way he talks is just so beautiful and musical... pure poetry. And he is just beautiful.
