So many songs to choose from Guy's repertoire. Battle Scars was one of his biggest. It was released in the US as Lupe Fiasco featuring Guy but in Australia it's the other way around. The best version of this is his home studio acoustic version. Then there are his more recent songs, Standing With You, Choir, Believer, etc. Guy, like John Farnham, is better live. Love your reactions, especially to our Aussie artists.
I just watched a reaction video on Battlescars after watching a show about Guy. He was sharing his story about when he wrote Battlescars. And how he felt when Lupe immediately said he’d feature on his song. His talent is off the chart
Guy wrote Battle Scars, watch the ANZAC home acoustic version, of Battle Scars, as well as the version with Lupe Fiasco, there are several, mesmerising
Guy's a very accomplished musician and song writer with a phenomenal voice. I promise you'll be blown away with his vocal range his control and runs. His style may be familiar, but he just does it better than anyone else. My Opinion. Like John Farnham, his live performances are faultless. He's also written some really great songs which have topped the charts here. Loving your reactions with our Aussie stars😃
Guy Sebastian is Australian and won our first Australian idol back in 2003 and is currently a judge on the voice in Australia. Love his rich voice he’s got heaps of good songs out
Thanks so much Matt. I chose this as an intro because it's just really stripped back and you can hear his vocals raw. There's some nice choral layering on the official release too tho. I've put another of his songs on Patreon. "Let Me Drink" is one of my fave Guy songs and the video is just super fun to watch. I love his voice and when he gets it right it's awesome, although l admit to not loving "Choir" as much as others. But his rich tone l could hear all day. Love and Vegemite 🙂
@@mssuziquzi yeah l love that performance too. I've just heard it so many times on other reaction channels now, l wanted to show some of his more recent songs that are also great. " Let me Drink" "Set in Stone" "Get Along" , all great songs that l don't think get enough attention.
@@DebraBing Thanks for bringing Guy's music here....Loved Matt's response. I also asked him to react to 'Bloodstone' because it was when we first heard his lower register....Love the words to this as well.
@@justlinsu yeah he has a great lower register. 'Bloodstone' is a great song as well. It often seems to me that Guy's best songs are the ones that get least recognition, but l guess that's just commercial music for ya.
I was at a Christmas carols in Adelaide South Australia many years ago and this amazing young man did a solo. I was blown away. A year later I saw him on tv becoming the first Australian idol. Guy Sebastian was born to sing but he has a true gift in combining that with songwriting ability. He writes hit after hit, even if they are mainly for the local market. He deserves to be internationally known.
This song he wrote after his Manager stole over 1 million dollars from him and pretty much said he would get away with it. Guy put him on the ropes and won! Guy is a lovely guy and his wife and kids are also beautiful. He spends a lot of time in my home town and is just one of the locals now.
First saw him as a coach on The Voice Australia a couple of years ago. He`s a really good singer himself, too. Another of the great artists in Australia.
Love this reaction bro. U gotta watch him sing "Believer" live on The Voice Australia. No way you won't have a hell of a reaction and feel some typa way...
Love the way you talk about his voice and your interpretation of it, he's so committed. But I sweat he does this style so much better than so many other artists. Gotta admit.
Guy was our first Australian idol winner in 2001 now he is a coach on the voice Australia and has done some mind blowing performances on that show which are available on TH-cam, "standing with you" and "believer" worth viewing to see thus gifted performer
I'd recommend "standing with you" which is about depression/suicide. Or his new song "believer" which he sang on the voice recently. 👇 th-cam.com/video/ED0v9YuVpiE/w-d-xo.html Others have already mentioned battle scars with Lupe. One of the more unusual songs he did was "candle". Which had some vocal distortion and stuff. You're right about his commitment to the song and the moment. His wheelhouse is definitely the emotional stuff or tapping into that.
"wheelhouse". what a great word to describe that. I confess l just had to google that 😂. Thanks, l've honestly never heard anyone use that word before. I love it.
Guy is Avery passionate singer and performer. That’s why it’s always better to listen to him live. His sing Believer that he performed live on The Voice Australia is fantastic.
I'm assuming someone has mentioned below that he was the winner of the first 'Australian Idol'? He's done very well for himself and I've really come to enjoy him as an artist.
Guy is one of Australia’s premier singer songwriters been around since the early 2000’s up there in my opinion with John Farnham. Can’t go past his beautiful song Standing with you or the acoustic version of Battlescars.
This is being done live on air in a radio studio on a afternoon show. Guy is an Aussie favourite and judge on the Australian version of "The Voice" (so not best conditions). Accoustic version of "Battle Scars" is good
Love Guy Sebastian ❤️ he wrote this song regarding his ex long time manager who had been ripping him off. He's a brilliant song writer and outstanding singer❤️❤️❤️🌏🪐🍀🌕🙏🎶🦋👣💕🇦🇺🦘🌺🏡🌴
Hope you're getting the idea ... lots of Aussie gems hidden away. Guy is AMAZING. You're right about him committing to the song - always does. He writes most of his own songs and musical arrangements. You've found Farnsey and Barnsey, now Guy. Try Jessica Mauboy, Delta Goodrem, Dahmi Im ...
I think you would really like his Album titled Memphis. He records the album in studio with some of the greats of blues. This song does not reflect his voice.
Matt, as you’re already a fan of John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes, I have two short TH-cam recommendations for you and your readers here. There’s a link with Guy Sebastian in the second one. The first video is just 2:54, a commercial by Uber Eats called “On Set with Jimmy Barnes, John Farnham & Anh Do | Tonight, I’ll Be Eating… | Uber Eats”. The comedic concept is that the three guys have formed a new band “Barnesy, Farnesy and Anh’sy”. Anh Do is a very popular comedian and gifted artist who arrived in Aust. as a Vietnamese child refugee by boat. His series “Anh’s Brush With Fame” is excellent and he interviews well-known guests while he’s painting their portrait. He’s a great communicator and he doesn’t use a paintbrush, just a palette knife. His episode with Guy Sebastian is 27:46 in length and reveals a lot more about Guy’s character as well as Anh’s. The resulting portrait is a revelation. I enjoyed all of them but I thought that as you’ve now discovered a side of Australian entertainment that you didn’t know about before, you may like to widen it into another area. My last recommendation is for you to hear just one more female singer/songwriter, Wendy Matthews, an Australian- Canadian who was very well-known here in the 1980s and 1990s. Her cover of “The Day You Went Away” is world-class. I think that you’ll appreciate her talent, especially the stripped back live version of the song with just Wendy and a pianist live at “The Basement” a jazz venue in Sydney. Also, her official music video of it (4:44) is beautiful and tells the story in more detail. She’s a worthy addition to your growing stable of favourite Australians in the music industry.
If you're going to do Battle Scars, you need to make sure you do his live version from Music from the Home Front man, you will seriously not regret it th-cam.com/video/ZdhqRvQxvDQ/w-d-xo.html
Guy was a voice coach until he won Idol. I voted for him. This year on the X Factor Guy is a judge and listened to his little brother sing. I don’t know if he got through because I don’t watch it. Guy is a big musical talent because he writes music and lyrics and he is a great musician. He will never be John Farnham.
as a request: please work on your mic work. was difficult for me to concentrate on your feedback when your microphone keeps clipping out. not sure if it was a pop filter thing or settings were too skewd, or software that was trying so hard to cut background noise. all the best with your channel

This man is a fantastic singer. One of the best ive heard in a long time. With that voice he has to have a world wide career.
One of the best singers Australia has ❤
Brilliant intro!! Great voice for radio! ….and TV.
This song he wrote after his Manager stole over 1 million dollars from him and pretty much said he would get away with it. Guy put him on the ropes and won! Guy is a lovely guy and his wife and kids are also beautiful. He spends a lot of time in my home town and is just one of the locals now.
Yes "Standing With You" is a great song, the live performance he did for The Voice was awesome.
Standing with you, choir, and battle scars are all songs he’s written. He is amazing. I hope you’ll react to them. A fantastic person too.
Unbelievably talented and underrated musician! ❤️
Such a beautiful voice. He’s got such amazing range & must be able to do some great stuff. 👍 Guy
Guy has a rendition of "Battle Scars" from his home studio to commemorate ANZAC Day in Oz , It really is stunning for these times, please watch.
First saw him as a coach on The Voice Australia a couple of years ago. He`s a really good singer himself, too. Another of the great artists in Australia.
Great reaction thankyou
Stan Walker another wonderful talent like Guy ! From NZ but won the last AUS Idol .
Hey yeah good choice.
Stan has a wonderful voice and given all he's been through, just got to respect what he does.
I love Guy! So many great songs, I’m going to go with the group on this one. I adore let me drink and Standing With You
Love this reaction bro. U gotta watch him sing "Believer" live on The Voice Australia. No way you won't have a hell of a reaction and feel some typa way...

He did a version of the prayer last week, a duet with a contestant on the voice, it shows the full maturity in his voice these days, it's brilliant
I'm assuming someone has mentioned below that he was the winner of the first 'Australian Idol'? He's done very well for himself and I've really come to enjoy him as an artist.
Imagine this on a stage with musos. Guy is brilliant.
Looks like we were keeping Guy to ourselves. We do that with our really special ones 😉 He is freakishly talented.
He has some amazing song's, "Believer" and "Standing with you" "choir" too many to name. You will love them 👍😀
I love Guy Sebastian singing Linger ...
One of our Aussie's best!!!
Sooo proud of all our Aussie talent. 😁
All Guy's sons are great!
Guy is a amazing artist.
Loved it !!
Battle Scars acoustic version is the one you want to listen to.
Isn't that just awesome? Such a talented man.
Should listen to his song
“Battle Scares”
Amazing.
Guy is one of Australia’s premier singer songwriters been around since the early 2000’s up there in my opinion with John Farnham. Can’t go past his beautiful song Standing with you or the acoustic version of Battlescars.
John and Guy are both vocally supreme, but in different ways. I really enjoy and respect both of them, but both are awesome people.
Guy won Idol in 2003!
HE HAS MANY SONGS - for one the Choir, a believer, battle scars and so on - please check them out
He's also so humble and a great guy. Pardon the pun.

His brother Chris ended up winning that season. Watching his audition and Guy’s reaction is something else. Gets me emotional every time.
