2004 A Current Affair segment on The Prayer

2004 A Current Affair segment on Anthony Callea's solo performance of The Prayer, made famous by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. It created a sensation, like Paul Potts and Susan Boyle in the UK, but it wasn't similarly promoted overseas and there was no YouTube.
Thanks to Bella for the segment. For access to Private clips see http://forums.calleauni.com/index.php?showtopic=536

No wonder this went on to become the fastest selling and highest selling single by an Australian artist in Australia...just stunning!

It's so unfortunate youtube wasn't around back then. Hoping the overseas audience get to experience a Callean live performance soon.

I also love everything Glenn Wheatley said about Anthony. This absolutely gorgeous song never ceases to bring tears to my eyes and give me goosebumps and shivers. Anthony truely has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard and this song has been my very favourite song of all time. Thank You calleauni for posting this segment of the worlds most beautiful song sung by the worlds very best singer of all time.

I love what Glenn Wheatley said, and how true his words were. It would have been interesting to see what would have been happening if he was Anthony's mgr in those early days, the person nehind Delta's initial breakthrough.

I hadn't seen this before thankyou so much. I remember being so excited when The Prayer was being released and the rest as they say is history. Just wonderful.
