I don't know where to send this to, but if anyone else wants to forward it to Bernard Zuel, please do so, only perhaps leave off the last little immature sentence ;D

Here is my email to that silly man.
To Bernard Zuel, I think you must have been to a different concert than me, as I though Guy Sebastians material was amazing, as is his album. His songs are fantastic and I never tire of listening to them. Well I am sure you will dismiss me as a crazy fan with no taste, but it isn't just his fans that think Guys original songs are great. Here is a review of his album from a journalist who knows what they are talking about.
Urban Hitz Jan/Feb 2005 - Review of Beautiful Life Urban Hitz (Issue 07, Jan/Feb 2005) ________________________________________
If you've been watching this season of ‘Australian Idol’ and have been frustrated at the weak, non-consistent performances (not to mention total lack of urban music talent) being shown, cast your mind back to last year. Guy Sebastian continually wowed judges and TV audiences with genre-defying (don't forget his interpretation of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love") performances and perfect song choices, bringing down the house on numerous occasions to be declared overall winner. This dedicated ethic has flowed into the subliminal crafting of Sebastian's second album, Beautiful Life.
On his debut album, Just As I Am, we got insight into the pop/R&B styling Sebastian's record company was trying to mould him too - slightly uncomfortable and too cute and safe. The album had moments where Sebastian shone, and this was when he had creative control in song arrangement or writing. On his long-awaited second album, Sebastian shows growth and maturity as an artist, co-writing and producing ten of the 14 tracks, further proving he's not just a lucky winner from a reality TV show. The album's set-up single, "Out With My Baby", is pure disco-funk, with pounding drum loops and dramatic, classic soul strings. Sebastian tests out his newfound falsetto and shows impressive range, not heard on earlier material. The album's inside artwork shows Sebastian working with an old-styled microphone, exemplifying his classic artistic and musical integrity.
Solid in style and substance, both old and new fans will surely get a kick out of ‘Beautiful Life’. Sebastian has delivered a superb album with a new sound progressive to the ears. With too many standout tracks to mention, ‘Beautiful Life’ is one of Australia's proudest R&B moments.

RATING – 4 STARS
Here also is the Editors comment:
"Critics can say what they want about the talent discovered on reality shows like 'Australian Idol' - Guy Sebastian is an R&B Genius."
Urban beats Magazine also gave Guys album a great rap.
Perhaps Guys style of music just doesn't appeal to you personally, or maybe the idea of Jade macrae being "on her knees" affected your hearing.
And as far as fans moving on to others, Guy fans are not just fans of his music, but also of the beautiful person that he is - he has so much devotion, and friendships have been formed between fans on the internet that continue to strengthen and increase Guys fan base. He may not have the top chart positions and huge sales that he had as the Australian Idol, but he will always have a very stong and loyal fan base that will continue to support him in the coming years.
