I really hope Guy doesn't win Australian Idol. Because he's so much better than that crappy show. I reckon he (and Paulini for that matter) are really really great singers. I don't just mean they can sing - I mean they can sing and change the world. Leave Australian Idol to one of the others who needs it. Guy (and Paulini) don't deserve to carry the mantle of that sad little talent show and winning it for them could actually do their careers harm. They could be doing stadium shows and top selling albums for as long as they want. These two aren't pop stars - they can move people when they sing - there's not a lot of people in the world can do that.

I AGREE BECAUSE IVE KNOWN GUY FOR A WHILE NOW AND HE DEFINATELY WOULD HAVE A BETTER CAREER OUTSIDE OF THIS. IVE SPOKEN TO GUY AND HE DOESNT REALLY WANT TO WIN AT ALL, HE JUST DID IT TO SEE HOW FAR HE COULD GET!!! THE BEST THING ABOUT HIM IS THAT HE IS A CHRISTIAN AND HE ISNT AFRAID TO SAY IT OR LIVE IT. I THINK HE IS AN ASSET BETTER USED IN A CHURCH ENVIRONMENT, WHERE HIS VOICE CAN TOUCH PEOPLE WHERE IT REALLY MATTERS.IF U WANT TO SEE HIM EARLY NEXT YEAR HE WILL BE AT THE BEST PLACE IN ADELAIDE SINGING AT PLANETSHAKERS. SO COME AND SEE HIM AND SEE WHAT HE REALLY LIVES FOR!!!!! GOD!!!!!TEXT

TEXTIm so glad to hear that guy will be at planet shakers in the new year. My son has been saving to travel by bus from sydney to adelaide. He wondered if guy would be there. He is 14yrs old and prays that God will use Guy mightly. We are proud of Guy and the way he always has juice instead of alcohol. He must know that kids look up to him. Thank you Guy for being such a courageous young man, the youth of today need young men like yourself. My the Lord give you your hearts desire.

Hay I just re-read your post HELLFAT... are you for real? (that Guy doesn't want to win) ....well I think too many people like him to see him go off that easy ------what would be real awesome, is if he wins this damn thing and turn it around for the BETTER, it's not like he HAS TO conform to the manufactured image. ah well. just my 99 cents

I'm with you SWV - I expected some pop star to come out of this show - I don't know that anyone expected an almighty talent like Guy to appear. I hope he takes what he wants from the music industry and leaves what he doesn't, and just makes great music however he wants to do it.

i think that it's positive role modeling to youth that Guy does not drink alcohol. but can i also ask, is there really an issue if he was to have one drink? is that going to make Guy less worthy? or perhaps he is not the Christian he professess to be if he has had a few drinks? i know what you are all getting at, and it's important that our youth see sensible idols, however i feel that judging a person on whether they drink or not does not determine their personality. would God love Guy less if he enjoyed a drink? do we really know what God thinks? are we in a position to judge each others behaviour when we really don't know what the individual believes deep down?? our behaviours should not affect the way people perceive us to a degree anyway, and we should leave the judging to God and God alone!
please Vote for Guy based on his vocal ability not the fact that he doesn't drink alcohol e.t.c
God Bless

Ace ….I agree totally with you. We shouldn’t judge one another. Guy is a grown man and I wouldn’t judge him if he had a drink. My son noticed that Guy was a juice drinker I am the mother of an impressionable 14yr old, whom I love with all my heart. His delicate age keeps me on my toes as I am way too uncool for him. I know its normal . Can you blame me ACE for thinking that Guy was a good role model for him right now? It was a pleasure to read your response, you have a wonderful way with words. PS you are also right in saying that this comp is about talent. Guys wonderful talent has my vote .

re ace. whoa there. of course it's an issue, just a matter of degree. if you lived in downtown Betelguese [the red star in Orion] you would perceive god differently as well. he doesn't just live on Sol 3. so you really shouldn't drag him into this. it's done too often by the sanctimonious.

i think guy has suprime talent... and i believe that him drinking alcohol wouldnt be sumthin guy would enjoy, bcoz he would be goin against wat he believes in.. So if he did " have a few drinks" then it wouldnt be guy nemore.. so i think it would be a bad thing... coz Australian knows him as the Christian Fro dude on idol...the one who drinks orange juice!! they r gonna pick up that sumthin has changed him in this comp if he juss starts drinking... And i think it is awesom that sumone has the will not to do sumthin juss bcoz of wat australia might think...I think guy should win.. even if it is juss a talent quest, bcoz teenagers all over the world will hopefully listen to his music... and if he won... no doubt that he would write his own songs as well.. so, his song will be meaningful towards Christianity, so he can spread the word of God to youth through song...!!! GO GUY...

Starvoter, whilst I 'believe' I understand the angle from which Guy is praised in relation to the alcohol business, I must confess that I completely agree with you as far as leaving God/religion out of it goes.

I agree with Gem Bear I know Guy is a Christian, which is an awesome thing, especially considering some of the pressures the music industry might put on him.....and I might add, put on other musicians who might not be Christian. He is not a fool, he knows what he is heading into. But he can show people out there that you can be young, funky, internationally famous and a Christian. Christianity has had a bad wrap too many times cause only the looneys seem to get into the media. It is about time a fantastic person like Guy was shown as an example of what a Christian is and should be. PS I am a Christian and see nothing wrong with an occasional drink. The thing about drinking is, why is the person drinking and how much they drink. Go Guy !!
