Thahn gone
we are excited for next week :P :D
our great musician / artist will be mentoring and judging (Steve Cropper calls him a phenomenal musician too :wub: )
As PPW sd on the forum, "there's so much to mention about Guy, shadow, that james and andrew won't have enough time LOL
where to begin? duet with olivia, charity tour with the Army Band, before that, The Memphis Tour (with Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, Steve Potts & Lester SNell - the MGs from Booker T & the MGs / Blues bros), wedding, World Youth Day (Receive the Power STILL selling so well, and being sung around the world), and this month, ARIA nom. for highest-selling album, global release next year. they would be fools if they won't mention the ARIA nom in their intro. and global release."
However, as they've never presented anything to Guy on the show, I don't hold too much hope this time either, in the present circs.
But he would be in his element, all the same. (As he would have, with the Army Band tour and Sean O'Boyle, who must be probably the most recorded Australian artist as far as music goes. He and Guy will have had so much MUSICALLY to talk about on the tour) :huh:
Bring on Sunday. How lucky are those guys and he will be a fantastic judge as well. :wub:
This is for me the " must see " episode of Idol this year :D Cannot wait to see Guy next week :wub:
had to laugh - so here's some quotes from OUR board
from Speck
from Prins
And Gina Jeffreys another one Prins.
"I was in heaven until my manager came up to me and said, "Ah Gina….. you need to look at the cameras out the front too, not just Guy!!" Ah I laughed!!! Didn't realise how mesmerised I was!!"
Songs this week.
Roshani.."Reflections".
Wes.."If I were A Carpenter"
Sophie.. "Papa Was A Rolling Stone"
Chrislyn.."Get Ready"
Teale.. "aint No Mountain High Enough"
Mark...'You Keep Me Hanging On"
Luke.. "My Girl"
Luke says on his blog: Guy’s helped me use a softer side of my voice, but not change it, in the sense that you’ll still know it’s me singing. If I can look after my voice this week, I should be able to do exactly what he told me.
Roshani's blog says:
I am sitting on cloud nine right now because yesterday I got to meet Guy Sebastian! I had so much fun and I am so much in love with that man it’s silly, but I did take away some really valuable advice. :ph34r:
Sophie's blog says:
Really pumped for this week. I’m singing a cool, funky song and I hope I can do it justice. I’ve also got a cool dress to wear, which I’m really excited about! I want to have fun with it, get out of my comfort zone and take on the character of the song, own the stage and be in charge, like Guy Sebastian suggested I do in my workshop with him.

Guy Sebastian swept to national fame over the course of the very first Australian Idol and now he’s back! Mentoring the Idols this week for the much-anticipated Motown night, Guy’s presence had our Idols in agreement: this superstar is the real deal.
“He’d been through what we’re going through, which made it easier to relate to him,” explained Chrislyn. “He had a lot to say regarding the competition. He said to me he’d get really stressed out - I can relate to that. But he also said you’re in it because you love it, and don’t ever forget why you auditioned in the first place.”
Yep, Guy has been impressing the talent left, right and centre, with Mark Spano even deciding he was the best mentor they’ve had so far! “Not only because he’s really good at Motown, but because he’s been through the whole experience - he is the ‘Idol messiah’,” joked cheeky Mark. “He told me to really embrace every genre to the best of my ability, and just have fun with it.”
After releasing The Memphis Album last year, soul, blues and funk is a territory the talented Guy is obviously familiar with, much like this year’s pint-sized performer, Roshani. “Motown is a lot about performance; how you deliver the song and how you captivate the audience,” says Roshani. “I really enjoy Motown.”
Don’t miss a minute of Motown, starting early this week at 6.30pm EDST!
