Man ... you have to listen to Choir. Guy wrote this after a colleague Luke took his own life. It is such a beautiful tribute song to his friend and the video includes Guy's and Luke's sons. Standing With You is also a supportive song for people struggling with mental health. Amazing.
He's actually a teacher by trade. He loves teaching kids. How well behaved were those little guys sitting in raptures listening to him produce THAT performance in a school hall. He's talented and he's so nice. Have you seen his Eurovision performance? He wrote it in 2/3 weeks got on a plane from Oz (big jet lag) then came down with a horrible chest infection, but sung up a Storm anyway. The guy who won the Eurovision contest that year, said he felt that guy Sebastian was cheated and that he should've won. He said it was the one song the whole stadium sang along with from the first chorus because it was that 'catchy'.
Thankyou Judy k your condolences are very much appreciated. lost my dad 90 years old about a month ago so been a tough month but life goes on and time heals us.❤
Guy wasn't a contestant on The Voice, he is a judge on the show. He was a contestant on & ultimate winner of the first season of Australian Idol way back in 2003. He is an incredible talent & one of our National Treasures.
The reactions of the children was so very beautiful. You could see it touched their hearts and souls. I frequently play this to remind me of the innocence and purity of children
Guy won the first Australian Idol back in 2003. He was a judge on The Voice 2021. His contestant Bella Taylor Smith won. You really need to hear her duet with Guy singing The Prayer. I loved this video. When Guy walked in the kids' reaction was priceless. Then when he sang Standing With You, some of the kids started to cry. Guy's music is about losing a close friend who had mental health issues. Very powerful lyrics.
Thanks so much Nick. I adore your reactions especially to our Guy Sebastian. Guy wrote 'Choir' as a tribute to his friend and band member who sadly took his own life. It won Song of the Year at our A.R.I.A. awards. Guy actually has faced a lot of heartbreak. He wrote 'Standing With You' after his cousin was struggling with depression and Guy had many long conversations with him and wrote it for him. The video for that won Best Video. Watching your analysis of people actually shows just what a beautiful soul you have. Keep doing what you're doing... you have an army of fans....especially here in Australia
This is a beautiful song highlighting the fragility of mental illness. As a sufferer this song brings me to tears every time. Knowing there are people out there being my satellite helps. Love you Ne Sebastian and everything you do to improve the world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hadn’t seen this before & was very touched by the performance. Your comment stood out from the rest. I’m also the same & you nailed it word for word. ❤
Oh! I'm crying now. Both of those songs are beautiful. Isn't it so wonderful to see the reaction of the little kids - reacting to the emotion & intensity of the feelings. They're gonna remember this for ever. Great reaction. Time to check out some Guy Sebastian 😍
“Choir” is a great song too, with a heart-felt message behind it. I love singers who can sing live just as well, or better, than in the recording studio. They’re true artists. Awesome reaction.
We are lucky in Australia that our singers visit our schools. I remember the time that The Seekers came to our primary school back in 1969. They sang quite a few songs including Puff the Magic Dragon and Morningtown Ride. If you want to hear a real singer from the sixties and still singing then look up The Seekers with lead singer Judith Durham.
+1 for Judith Durham. One of the best female voices ever - and completely distinctive. You can pick her voice in a couple of notes. Another humble Aussie legend
Guy wrote this song after the sudden death of his closest and dearest friends, who took his life. Guy was our first winner of Australian Idol, now he is a Voice Judge here in Australia 🇦🇺❤️
Hi mate. Guy was our first Australian Idol in 2003. Before that he was singing in a church in Adelaide on a few of their albums with his brothers too! I love him as a person and an artist
Mate, Nick Wilson, I don't know much about you ... but you blow me away ... you're musically gifted. I'm impressed with your tone accurate replication after just one take. Well done mate.
Love your reviews. Especially the Guy Sebastian ones. He is my favourite & his concerts are phenominal. He actually won Australian Idol back around the year 2000 I think. I have been following him since then. The great thing about his audiences is that there are very young children in them & range to elderly people. He is an all round great human being with a beautiful family. Everyone is Australia loves him. 😊❤
He was 1 of the judges on the voice as well as x factor and he was 1st winner of Australian idol ❤❤❤❤love love love THIS little USO (USO means brother in our Samoan language )
Absolutely love this, love Guy and this is typical of his good personality to do this sort of thing. He has started a children’s charity a long time ago and gives back. Love him and his voice.
Love your reactions and Guy Sebastian is a great artist!!! I would love to see you react to some of Guy's songs from his "The Memphis Album". It is his cover album of Memphis soul songs and he worked with some classic artists in the US on this album! Great listening. Love your work ❤
Guy's voice really is amazing. I'm feeling somewhat envious of those little kids 😅 We never had anyone famous visit our school - unless you count Queen Elizabeth driving past one rainy day on her 1977 Australian tour 😅 We waited for ages in our raincoats. Our mothers even came up to see her too. A different era!
I remember my Mum dragging me and my little sister into Melbourne's cbd in 1970 and we were told to wave little Australia flags and all we saw was a Rolls Royce fly by with a white gloved hand doing circles out the window.
The song "Choir" was inspired by and dedicated to Guy's good friend and former band member Luke Liang, who sadly took his own life in 2018. Here's Guy's live version from the 2019 Australian ARIA awards: ruclips.net/video/ZN1iw_Ml08A/видео.html
I’ve only had a couple of favourite songs in my 58 years and this is top of my list. It reminds me of my sister who passed from cancer 2 years ago. I can never listen to it without bawling my eyes out. God gave Guy a beautiful gift, I just pray we can still hear music and sing songs in Heaven. God bless. Beautiful reaction x 🌹🙏🏽🇦🇺
Guy Sebastian, yes he was the very first Australian Idol winner but he's definitely earnt his way into the music world. He has shown all of those people who told him he wouldn't get far that they knew NOTHING. Such a beautiful soul he his.
Hes amazing as always I still think his best proformance is him singing Standing with you he sang on the voice also him and johnny singing together on the voice
That exact school after this surprised Guy. Him and his family went the the movies but it was a set up. He was sitting there before the movie started eating popcorn and all of a sudden one by one kids started coming in singing his song. Guy didn’t know what the heck to do. Priceless.
This makes me proud to be Australian. I will be forever grateful to the world class people we have visit our schools in Australia ...,and the teachers who shaped me. :)
Nick, one of your best reactions (I love that you sing along!) and now I understand what happened to the Voice performance (hate the blockety blocks!). The song the choir were singing was "Choir" which was a huge hit in Australia and won him song of the year at the Aria's (our Grammy's). ❤️ PS Sorry about your tooth and the dry socket....that is incredibly painful and you are doing a remarkable job reacting at the same time as experiencing tooth pain 😳
All schools in Australia have school uniforms regardless if they are public or private. It just varies on how strict the uniforms are with things like hair colour, piercings etc
He’s awesome and so is his brother man you gotta hear his voice too, his bro won the voice Guy won Aus idol, that song the quote was singing was about a very close friend who took his own life, also he is one tough cookie, one night as he was working in a studio doing some recording his wife who I think was pregnant with their first child rang him to tell him there was a burglar in the house, he rode home at a rate of knots and got there before the police and spear tackled the guy rugby style and pinned him to the ground til the po po arrived, a lot to like about this man I tell ya
Nick, thank you so much. I love that you are showcasing Aussie singers and I love the way you are so involved in the experience. This is a beautiful song and the first time I have heard it💖💖 Thanks again xx
It sounds like such a happy song but I cry when I hear it just because I know why the song was made🤧 wish more artists were like Guy ☺️ also just so you know, I’ve been spamming your reaction of black and gold😂😂
I'm so happy to have discovered you on RUclips. Watching all of our wonderful artist is so amazing. I'm curious to know if anyone has mentioned Billy Thorpe ...The King of Rock and Roll in Australia. Cheers.
First of all, you are one of my favorite reactors and there is always so much passion for music that shines through and you yourself is talented also. I love Guy too, but my favorite part of this entire video is when you called out the kids for coming out flat in the beginning!
Guy won Australian idol and is a coach on The Voice but his brother Chris Sebastian did win the The Voice Australia in 2020 and you should defo check him out also.
Have you seen the video of the school kids payback when they surprise Guy Sebastion at the Cinema. Guy Sebastion cinema surprise the look on his face is priceless.
He won Australian Idol but then in later years ended up as a judge on the voice. Guy shined before he even went on Aus Idol show and seems to have remained humble along the way...
Checkout Guy in a TV programme called The Studio. He sings a song written by a woman's deceased son. The Producer said he only knew one singer who could sing the song and Guy's performance is other worldly... don't miss it.
Yo bro, do not sleep on this. The song is amazing and the composition is not of this planet. Guy did a phenomenal job to bring the song to life which had never been heard, let alone performed. It profoundly moving. Tears do not usually come easy for me at all, and I was sobbing like a little bitch. You owe it to yourself to check it out, video or not.
Guy won the first Australian Idol back in about 2004. He's been a judge on The Voice Australia for awhile. His brother Chris Sebastien won it last year 2021.

no wonder l was in tears during this song , my brother took his own life last week. this song will stay with me forever.
@@peterlucas789 so sorry for your loss 😢 Sincerest condolences and may your dear brother rest in peace 😔❤️
Thankyou Judy k your condolences are very much appreciated. lost my dad 90 years old about a month ago so been a tough month but life goes on and time heals us.❤
@@peterlucas789 take care, ok? ❤️

That performance was so perfect you would think it was the actual studio recoding, that is how good Guy Sebastian is.
The kids crying & knowing that music can help you & touch you in that way. Such an emotional performance. Brought tears to my eyes.
What a champion. Those kids will remember this their whole lives.
I remember when the coca cola yo yo demonstration team visited in year 1. So yes.. they will remember this forever,
The reactions of the children was so very beautiful. You could see it touched their hearts and souls. I frequently play this to remind me of the innocence and purity of children
"Why didn't people come and sing for us as a kid?" I'm gone 😂😂😂😂😂

Choir is a song written by Guy in honour of his best mate who took his own life. It’s all about singing in a choir in heaven.
😭😭that hit deep. Choir in heaven

Just beautiful. The tears almost fried my computer. The reaction form those kids will live with Guy for a while too. Precious!
Guy Sebastian is worthy of global success. Just an amazing voice and an amazing personality.
I love watching you enjoy listening to Guy Sebastian.
What a fantstic surprise for those children and I did cry lol He sings so beautifully .I cried .
This is the sort of person Guy is ;)

Guy was a teacher before he got his big break., thats why he does this, we are lucky to have amazing talent in our neck of the woods
He's a judge on the voice. He won the first season of Australian Idol :)

Yes!! Judith Durham, what a voice, and harmonized so well with the seekers, definitely a singer worth checking out!
+1 for Judith Durham. One of the best female voices ever - and completely distinctive. You can pick her voice in a couple of notes. Another humble Aussie legend
Guy's control and tone is incredible.... And never understood how he is not a global super star. But such is life and the music biz ;)
So proud of “our Guy !”, and it’s so wonderful seeing you love him as much as us Australians do too! ❤️🇦🇺
Guy wrote this song after the sudden death of his closest and dearest friends, who took his life. Guy was our first winner of Australian Idol, now he is a Voice Judge here in Australia 🇦🇺❤️

Those darling little children in tears at that beautiful song. Gets me in the guts, and brings me to tears.
Guy is a true talent… absolutely amazing.

Amazing such young children so affected just by the music. Thankyou
He was 1 of the judges on the voice as well as x factor and he was 1st winner of Australian idol ❤❤❤❤love love love THIS little USO (USO means brother in our Samoan language )
Guy won Australian Idol, he is a coach on the Voice.
To do that for those kids, he's a legend. They will never forget it and he just extended his future fan base as well.
Absolutely love this, love Guy and this is typical of his good personality to do this sort of thing. He has started a children’s charity a long time ago and gives back. Love him and his voice.
HE IS AMAZING, how incredible for these school kids, shaping our next generation of stars 🌟
This performence shows how fantastic singer he really is. Just a little piano in the background and his amazing vocals .
This song always makes me cry... love..love...love😥😥❤
Love your reactions and Guy Sebastian is a great artist!!! I would love to see you react to some of Guy's songs from his "The Memphis Album". It is his cover album of Memphis soul songs and he worked with some classic artists in the US on this album! Great listening. Love your work ❤
Guy's voice really is amazing. I'm feeling somewhat envious of those little kids 😅 We never had anyone famous visit our school - unless you count Queen Elizabeth driving past one rainy day on her 1977 Australian tour 😅 We waited for ages in our raincoats. Our mothers even came up to see her too. A different era!
We had Rolf Harris visit. As a kid it was the best thing ever - early 70s at the time. Sadly with all we know now my memories are tarnished. 😢😢
I work in a school and I'm glad we haven't had a famous singer, our sound setup is terrible and would ruin the track :P
I remember my Mum dragging me and my little sister into Melbourne's cbd in 1970 and we were told to wave little Australia flags and all we saw was a Rolls Royce fly by with a white gloved hand doing circles out the window.
Wow so touching

🎉Guy can sing and write anything with so much emotion❤
Thanks so much for responding to my request!! You're the best!
Isn’t he magnificent ❤️
Choir is an amazing song. Every kids choir in the country learns it now.
Hes amazing as always I still think his best proformance is him singing Standing with you he sang on the voice also him and johnny singing together on the voice

Guy Sebastian is extraordinary. Man I'm loving your channel. As an Aussie of 80s music I'm loving your journey of discovery.
His brother won the voice, he won the 1st series of Australian Idol.
You should listen to when he sang the prayer with a contestant from the voice. It’s amazing and is slept on. (MUST SEE)

Thanks for exploring so many Australian artists. Been binge watching a few of your videos. Lol! Keep up the great reactions.
He won Australia idol in 2003 that's when Shannon Noel was runners up but he also was a judge for Australian x factor and the voice
