Idol in abortion battle
22 May 05 CHART-TOPPER Guy Sebastian plans to open a counselling service for pregnant women to help reduce the number of abortions. Sebastian, 23, a member of the Assemblies of God, said the centre, which could be established in Melbourne, would help women considering an abortion and those who had had one. "I'm anti-abortion. I don't believe any human being has the right to decide the fate of another, but I'm totally against telling other people what to do," the ARIA-award winner said. "I've met a few women who have had (an abortion) and their stories are just horrific. They just shock you. "Some have never recovered. It's the worst thing to do – make an uninformed, uneducated decision. That's how stuff goes wrong," he said. Sebastian's plan is the idea of his friend, Melbourne singer Gary Pinto, formerly of local boy band CDB. www.sundaytimes.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,7034,15362625%255E949,00.html

It is expected about 2,000 young Australians will be participating in the forthcoming World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany, from 16-21 August 2005. This is by far the greatest number to attend any World Youth Day since its inception in 1984. Every diocese, church group and movement in the Church in Australia will be represented.
The Melbourne WYD group have achieved a national first. A song which it submitted to the German co-ordinators of WYD titled "We have come to Worship Him", performed by a past WYD pilgrim Gary Pinto has been selected as one of the acts to be performed in Cologne during WYD week from over 500 applications from around the world.
FROM IDOL TO PILGRIM
WORDS Lee Beasley PHOTO Brett Brogan
When Liza Shulberg was asked to become the ‘face’ of World Youth Day by Melbourne field officer, Blair McWhinney, she went from Australian Idol Contestant 2004 to Australian Ambassador for World Youth Day 2005.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of World Youth Day, to be held in Cologne, Germany in August, but it also represents the beginning of a new era due to the recent death of Pope John Paul II.
In 1985, Pope John Paul II responded to the United Nations ‘Year of Youth’ by initiating a World Youth Day in Rome celebrated on Palm Sunday. Since then thousands of young people have gathered biannually to celebrate World Youth Day in various locations around the world.
Liza’s journey towards World Youth Day started when her extended family choir known as ‘The Re-Joyce Family Choir’, along with the local youth group, performed Jesus Christ Super Star. It was a fundraiser for a new hall at Liza’s parish, St Gerard’s, Dandenong, on the outskirts of Melbourne.
Speaking with the members of the youth group, Liza was inspired by their experiences of past World Youth Days. ‘I had no idea how huge it was. It was so interesting to hear how young people so joyfully talk about sleeping in the mud and waiting [to see the Pope]. I thought it was something I wanted to be a part of.’<br> Last year Liza’s music led her to the popular reality show Australian Idol. She made it into the top 30 and became a familiar face to the nation before being voted off. ‘When they invited me back for the wild card, I was excited and I went, but my heart just wasn’t in it.’ She realised her heart belonged to gospel music and to the choir. ‘I get the best feeling singing with my family.’
Liza was still in Sydney working on Idol when an old friend, Gary Pinto, lead singer of the 1990’s R&B band CDB, rang her to ask if she would sing on a CD he was compiling for World Youth Day. The CD is called Soulitude and features two original tracks and three classic covers. ‘I think even though Gary really enjoyed the band–he has such a passion for singing–it wasn’t as fulfilling as writing and performing Christian music. I feel the same.’
Gary’s brother Brad, also a member of CDB, wrote the song, ‘We Have Come To Worship Him’. Gary performed the number along with The Re-Joyce Family Choir and Liza sang the classic hymn ‘How Great Thou Art’.
Soulitude was officially launched on the 19th of March and although the launch wasn’t highly publicised, Liza felt the Spirit present.
‘I was just so overwhelmed in performing [‘How Great Thou Art’] live for the first time, I bawled my eyes out. That’s never happened before where I have been affected by something I’ve sung.’
‘We Have Come to Worship Him’ has been chosen over 700 other applicants’ offerings, to be the official song world-wide for World Youth Day. With its success comes the invitation to go to Germany and perform all of Soulitude live.
‘I’m hoping to go. How often do you get an opportunity like that? When they invited us, they said, "We love that song and we would love for you all to perform".’
In the meantime, Liza continues to draw strength from the youth around her, marvelling at their resilience during the current changes in the church. ‘When I saw them [after Pope John Paul II’s death] they were very joyful that he had made his home-coming.’ The nature of World Youth Day is a positive one for Liza; she believes that young people are so enthusiastic that not even his death is going to keep them down. And like them, Liza looks forward to the possibility of welcoming Pope Benedict XVI in Cologne in August.

Thanks for sharing your photos Cass. Don't you just love how Gary has so much facial expression on his face when he sings. He really feels the song when he sings not only through his voice but through his body language. I notice that Guy is another one who does that too. No wonder we love them both. That's a sign of a great performer.
