Ok, well this thread was about a song for the group How does this work? Obviously to the tune of "angels brought me here" It’s been a long a costly journey And I’m still in here tonight Pissing off my boyfriends and perving well into the night And to the endless stream of money That I spend on Guy eeeeeech weeek It doesn’t even come close To helping me fulfil my need My life has turned Into traaaaAaaaaaagic nights Of drooling I’m droooooollling If Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy Could seeeeeeeeeeeee What he’s done to me I’d be the reason why he’s richhhhhhhhhhhhhh And if you agreee Then sing with me You would know It would be clear That Guy has trapped us herererere Sitting at my puter Feels like I have lost my mind Every day I’m searching For what I will never find *animation of guy in muscle shirt for my thread* My life has turned Into tragic nights Of drooling I’m droooooooooooooooooooling If Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy Could seeeeeeeeeeeee What he’s done to me I’d be the reason why he’s richhhhhhhhhhhhhh And if you agreee Then sing with me You would know It would be clear That Guy has trapped us herererere dunno, it's lame, but I wrote it in 2 minutes, does it show??? haha Wow! that is so clever Sheenia, I'm sure Guy would laugh if he sees that.

1) far too many, specially when the show has just finished and he was on a front page of almost every mag.
2)not many as I don't live in Australia
3) watch more tv now than I used to
5) a few posters in my spare bedroom but not on the wall, wanted to put it up my bedroom but hubby wouldn't let me
6) a lot and everytime I went shopping
7) would do it everyday if I could
8) I'm not too sure but I he seemed to be in my mind all the time
10) its my dream to meet Guy and if ever that comes true I would tell him just how wonderful he is and I love him.
how sad is that!

Hi SlackA how you doing in the tropical side of the world?
the cards are all pretty cool but I think I like 2nd one.
If I was to go for the competetion I would probably go for Sydney as that's where he lives at the moment and second one will be false.
goodluck! I hope you'd get to see him.

Its first time i've heard of this version but will be watching it gain very soon and see if its the same one SS.
It was pretty good but he has higher notes on the old one and his high notes is what I love about him or one of the things that I love about him. CEM is my fav and just stops breathing when he sang that song and again he re arranged that on his new single as well.
A lot of NZ people did watched the OZ Idol so I think touchdown is well known here in NZ.
I do agree though that they shouldn't have put him in the judging panel. he probably had a lot of things to say but held back, the NZ Idol do need to wake up!

Guy did a wonderful job as a judge, a very kind hearted judge that probably was a little worried of hurting anybodys feeling, as he said there was a lot that anyone could have picked on and I can honestly say he was dead right.
He was lively and happy and even did a little Mark Holdens touchdown!!! I was a bit disappointed with the audience as they weren't as inthusiastic as Guy was but that's okay.
He sang Angels but they pre recorded it and was shown on Monday night, as one of the radio said they didn't want to show it on that sunday just so the contestants wouldn't look too bad, (joke) and the people might start voting for Guy instead.
He sang that Angels so well but sang it a little different, It was good but I think I prefer his old version. I wished he picked a different song though as we have heard a lot of Angels since his winning but it was very good.

Hi everyone, Just bought the new NZ Womans day and thought I'd put it here since I don't really know where to put it.
NZ Womans Days / Story: Kylie Tannahill exclusive interview with Guy Sebastian
Guys Tough Verdict on NZ Idol
No one knows better than Guy Sebastian what it takes to succeed in the -cut throat music industry. After all, the 22 year old, who will be the celebrity guess judge on NZ Idol this week, suffered during the Australian Idol series at the hands of judge Dicko.
Yet the bro with the 'fro believes our contestants are getting an easy ride.
"Dicko's so intimidating and his insults have a lot of weight" says Guy, speaking exclusively to Womans Day.
"when you get drilled on national TV you are absolutely humiliated. It hurts you and it really gets to you.The next week you are not going to make that same mistake because you are humiliated. it makes you grow rapidly"
While Guy, whose album Just As I Am has sold over 30,000 copies(double platinum) in NZ, is blown away by the raw talent on NZ Idol, his compliments don't extend to the judge's comments.
"The downfall of the show is the judging. It's really bad, "he says frankly "it's boring because as much as people don't agree with nasty things they want to watch anyway.
"there wer lots of things that could have been picked on, like pitch," says Guy of his first experience in the studio when he watched the final group of eight in the top 24.
"there was stuff that if I was the contestant I would be glad they pulled me up on. But the judges were all saying, 'Yeah, that was great,' the harshest comment I heard last week was, You were fantastic' - when clearly they weren't. it was then followed by, 'I'm not sure if you'll go through this week."
"How are these kids going to go [in the music industry] and how are we going to entertain people if we're not making these kids feel like crap? It sounds bad but it's what makes TV. it's life"
In fact, Guy has spent cosiderable time talking with NZ Idol's top 10 contestants during his week-long trip to New Zealand.
"I've had a big chat with all of them and one of the main thing I stressed was the issue of remaining humble. You have to remember who your friends are and who you are." he explains.
"There are times when you can get cought up in the whole fame side of things and it really should be all about the music and the singing."
As a former vocal coach, Guy was also quick to help the kiwis with their singing technique.
"It's really important to have moments in your song that people will remember. It's moments that normal human being doesn't analyse. " Music is quite complex in that when you want to deliver that emotional connection, and when you want to creat those butterflies, there are tricks you have to use."
Vocal tricks have been a speciality of Guy's from a very early age.
"I was always into music, even at age of 4 and 5. I'd sit next to the stereo and have the top 40 on with my tape ready to record my favourite song.
"When the song would come on I would always sing in harmony to it. I'd never sing a melody, I'd always sing a harmony."
Yet being a professional musician wasn't Guy's first career choice. While he and all three of his brothers, Oliver, 25, Christopher, 15, and Jeremy, 13, are musical they were encouraged into practical careers.
"With my culture, education is so important so singing was always second," says Guy, who is part Portuguese, part Sri Lankan.
Keen to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, Guy first chose a career in dentistry. "I took the test and then changed my mind," he laughs. I actually ended up doing medical radiation at the university and specialised in radiotherapy. But after a while I just needed to do my music."
Working as a forklift driver and a nursing home cleaner, Guy manage to raise enough money for a home studio before he landed a job as a singing teacher.
"I had never had a lesson so I just hopped on the internet and learnt how to teach. I would teach my kids to songwrite and in the holidays they'd come to my studio and record their song."
It's these memories of his hometown Adelaide that Guy, who has recently moved into an apartment in Sydney's trendy Clovelly Beach, treasures.
"The only things that have stayed the same since I won Idol are my faith and my close friendships," he says.
Guy's biggest comfort is songwriting. He is currently penning his second album, which he would like to release this September.
"When I broke up with my girlfriend two years ago, I was terrible. I wrote so many love/hate songs," he laughs.
"It's when I'm facing stuff that I write my best material," says guy, who works with homeless people through his church.
"When you see what other people go through, you see how fortunate you are and it puts all your little worries in perspective. I just try to be as positive as I can"
Goodnight everyone!
