***** Guy wears hats quite often. You can even see him with a similar hat on the album covers for The Memphis Album and Like It Like That and the single covers for Don't Worry Be Happy and Never Hold You Down. As for dancing, he's quite an energetic performer when not sitting down for ballads.
Agreed. Have a listen to Guy's songs 'Gold', 'All To Myself' and 'Like It Like That'. You'll see that his pop-funk sound predates Bruno Mars' funk era. Guy's sound is also derived from his Motown record that he released yearsss ago. Both are amazing artists, and the comparisons are understandable. However, saying that Guy has ripped off Bruno's style/sound is simply untrue.
They were really good as well! I'm really shaking my head at Britain's entry...It was just awful. I'm also glad Sweden won, they deserve it plus its the only winner so far who i'm pleased with XD
Really, this style of song & staging UK often sends and places last. I still remember this vividly, because I had never heard of him (don't really know Aussie music scene), but as soon as he began his performance, I thought "wow, this guy is a STAR".
Guy Sebastian may have the finest voice I have ever heard. How many vocalists can control their voice like this in a studio, let alone while dancing and performing live? Stunning.
Marslo Channell 1.Australia 2.Russia 3.Romania 4.Sweden 5.Greece ------------------------------------------------------------------- Good Show in 2015y.
Everyone in Australia LOVES eurovision. I love how we love it so much that we managed to compete! Thank you Europe we are honoured to compete with you! :)
I could just make out slightly laboured breathing in the slow section that gave away how ill he had been and that he was still recovering. I was holding my breath hoping he was't running out of his, but he held on like no one else and smashed the end. So proud of him for not letting any obstacle stop him from such an amazing success.
LaLa Loopsy And he is such a good person too. Truly beautiful human. From personal experience and observation. We love you Guy xx Thank you for honouring us.
LaLa Loopsy I didn't know he was sick at the moment! It would have been just plain horrible if Australia had to drop out on their first invite because of his illness.
Easily the best performance vocally in Eurovision history. Exactly what you'd expect from Guy. He's already making it big. He doesn't even need to win to get noticed. But 5th is still really impressive. It's too bad Australia can't compete again, I wanted to see them try again next year!
Renee Tsingolis Well, Australia isn't apart of Europe. We were invited by Austria in celebration of the 60th Annual Eurovision (we have the largest viewing audience out of Europe). There's really no possibility for us to come again next year unless Sweden (I presume the winner hosts the next one) invites us for really no reason.
Oh thank for the information. i wasn't aware of that because there are other countries such as armenia etc that aren't part of Eu but compete annually.
Renee Tsingolis I wasn't aware of that to be honest. They may have been invited at the start of Eurovision or otherwise - not sure really. But yeah, that's why Australia competed this year. If you have a look at the live stream of Eurovision at the moment, there's some questions going around about inviting us back next year. With luck we'll be returning. But it's a very good effort to come 5th considering we're the guest, and also to have undoubtedly the best vocalist on the night.
You guys did pretty good, but Maybe we Americans will throw our hats in the ring soon. We always get our asses kicked in the world cup, so perhaps music is better suited for us!
I remember when I watched this performance live on my TV and I was actually voting for Australia. This was my favourite performance in 2015. And it actually still is. Now I'm watching Eurovision again and I still remember Guy's performance, and that explains why I'm here right now haha. Greetings from Lithuania!
Brandon Jinjiyoshi Tilley I mean having Americans would be interesting don’t get me wrong but would like. I think we’re straining away from the EURO part of Eurovision xD .
To be fair, Australia has so far nominated Guy Sebastian and Dami Im to participate, both of whom have proven to be very successful. A lot of countries nominate artists who aren't even well known in their own country.
Everyone are voting for their neighbours and then there us Swedes who gave our 12 points to Australia lol! And they gave 12 points in return. That bromance tho.
@@eken1725 Yes and I think Måns also waved to him when we got 12 points from them haha. Australias group sat right in front of Sweden in the green room. That was so much fun to watch. Also such a great welcome for Australia in Eurovision.
HiMyNameIsMaurice "Battle Scars" is a good song by him and Lupe Fiasco. My personal favourite is "Armageddon", and I think "Angels Brought Me Here" is also a very special song because it was his Australian Idol winning single and what propelled him to fame. It's very heartfelt.
Man, Australia has been kicking ass since they got in. This song did great and went 5th, Dami's did so amazing it was 2nd. Watch them win 1st soon lol.
Inês Dias we're all proud of him too and that was him singing with a bad flu. he has such an amazing unique voice and a down to earth person to go with it. so proud of him
Remember that this was only supposed to be a one-off in honor of Eurovision's 60th anniversary. And then Australia had to go and send this absolute banger that Europe fell in love with, so now Australia is a permanent member of the Eurovision family, and I couldn't be happier about that.
Got up this morning 5.00am in Sydney to watch Guy's performance, it was worth it. Very proud of Guy & his backing singers, they nailed it. It was lovely of Eurovision to invite Australia to participate just for this year for Euro's 60th Anniversary.
Sonia Surija Haha, I'm in Perth and did an all nighter. Totally worth it. He's come so far since Idol days- was so proud of him. A flawless performance in all respects.
Mubutu123, knightarnaud, there are a few more countries which are not located in Europe or just partly located in Europe, but their representatives take part in the ESC. According to your logic, they also should not be allowed to participate in the contest. But why? What's wrong with that, except the name of the contest (geography, tradition, etc.)? The Eurovision Song Contest has been broadcast for more than half a century, with almost no significant changes, so, maybe, it's time to change something - the geography of the contest, for example? Maybe, it will facilitate the establishment of cultural relations between different countries, nations ("build bridges"), make the contest more diverse and interesting, minimize the effect of the "neighbor voting" on the results of the ESC... This year Australia (being in Top-5) proved that when a song is really good and performance is great it doesn't matter from which country this song is... I really like the Champturn's idea.
There were a lot of good songs this year and Sweden was one of the ones I voted for. But I was kinda hoping Australia would win, not only is this a great song which is definitely gonna be a summer hit and an amazing singer, but also it would've been such a slap in the face for Europe and we'd gotten to see them again next year (anyway they could have gotten Sia?) :) But 5th place for a country that has never competed before and isn't even in Europe is FREAKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!! WE LOVE YOU AUSTRALIA
heidos7 They weren't going to win. This also was the wrong entry for Eurovision. Eurovision is about the show and this didn't have enough of it. I also doubt Sia would do something like Eurovision. Nor would she be suitable for the kind of contest it is.
Who do you guys think we should enter if we ever get the chance to enter again? :-) I really wanted Jess Maulboy to do it this year and just realised she was already a guest at last years Eurovision :p
Guy Sebastian is the most talented (underrated) vocalists out there. He sounds absolutely amazing live and gives it 100% every video I have watched of his. 🌟 🤩
I´m not even a big Eurovision-supporter, but this year´s contest brought quite a few cool songs. This was one of them. Very likeable artist, great song, energetic performance. Wouldn´t have minded an Australian win with that song, tbh.
Oz must take part in Eurovision from now on. They vote fairly, they represent the multi-cultural nature of their population through their choice of band members and they send fantastic singers - What more could you ask for? Most of the rest of us would struggle with that check-list.....
You're looking for the obvious retort, and so I'll give it to you.....Dami Im was better. Better song, better performance. Guy is good, but Dani's was out of the park.
Sasha RamPaige It'd be pretty embarrassing if Australia- a non- European country- took out the prize. We were just stoked to be invited. Top 5 is awesome! Glad you enjoyed it- Guy Sebastian is a genuinely lovely person and very talented.
***** yeah i saw that he always thanked his opponents when he got 12 Points from their Country he seems to be a nice and friendly Person. I just think that in such competitions the best song should win no matter where the contestants come from and Guy had the most Charisma and the best voice yesterday
What a great memory this was. The fun of being in the contest for the first time and then totally astonished of just how good Sebastian handled this song. Blew the competition away.
Awesome performance considering he was sick, you can hear him breathing heavy towards the end. Was so proud watching Australia finally compete, he set a very high standard.
Way to make a mark on Eurovision on your first try, Australia. This song and performance will be remembered for a long time. Congratulations on your well-deserved 5th position, Guy Sebastian and group were phenomenal.
This was one of the best performances of the night! It's fresh, catchy and modern. The kind of songs you can easily listen to on the radio charts. Congratulations Australia, you did it really well in your debut as participant! Please, come back next year!
ronnopotter It's not up to us. We would if we could but I think it's a one time thing. Possibly China will get next year's wild card. Thanks for your 12 points!
+ChℓoeJayde After a year I can say: Australia... Oops!... You did it again!!! Dami Im was by far the best voice! exquisitely elegant and she really belted out the song! Congratulations once again!
With three of his back-up singers being black Africans combined with his ability to sing his HipPop song just like every other RnB singer in the US, Guy Sebastian well and truly represented Australia on this year's Eurovision.
Georgie Lorenz This really represents Australia because Australia is that multi-cultural. We don't need a white person to be Australian, that's shallow. Guy has been loved and have a true Australian spirit. He's the representation of a modern Australian! And this is his style and his forte since 2003 when he started. Australia is not just kangaroos, deserts and spiders. lol! Ask any Australian and they will not deny it.
Don't know why, but I still get chills when hearing this song, I genuinely thought they would win last year. The atmosphere with this song was so good, exactly what I expect a Eurovision song to be. The atmosphere was amazing due to the energy during this performance and amazing voice. Props to you GUY!
I voted for them!! I will always say Australia deserved to win this year. You were our guests and brought such a profesional job. You're very welcome to come back to Eurovision with such a brilliant song next year. Greetings from Spain!!
sof123d Straight to the point! Next year should be invited USA, too, and of course other countries, who want to participate to ESC. My opinion is that this change will bring value added to ESC and everybody will win because will be reduced the votes given by different geopolitical interests (look at Russia song who received a lot of votes from ex-USSR counties). Anyway, congratulation for Australia. Your song is in my top 3 after Sweden and Latvia. Greetings from Romania!
SWEDEN LOVES AUSTRALIA, COME TO SCANDINAVIA, COME HERE COME HERE, WE LOVE YOU YOU KANGAROOBITCHES, DAMIT I LOVE AUSTRALIA BUT I'M SO HAPPY SWEDEN WON. BUT I LOVE AUSTRALIA HOPE YOU LOVE US BACK?
Thank you so much. Yeah Sweden really have euphoria feeling now :) Me and my dad watched the full show and when Guy Sebastian came on we loved it! Australia really know the Eurovision concept, fucking awesome :) We play Sebasians song all the time here on the radio. /Much love from Sweden :)
That "Oh", the first word Australia has ever sung in ESC, is the sound of Europe realizing what a mistake they made. JK, thank you Australia for bringing spice to this content, and I can't wait to see you live this year!
Thank YOU, Guy! And thank you Australia for taking the competition so seriously :-) I voted for you, I hope you will be back next year! :-) Love from Norway
Thankyou for all those lovely comments from all over Europe regarding our Guy. I loved being up at 5 am and voting in my first Eurovision all though I have watched for years!! Can't wait to next year and hope we Aussies can be there again. My 12 points go to Eurovision!
An amazing song performed by an equally amazing performer. Would have been great if it had won. It certainly one tough act to follow. Love it. UK Fan xx
For the people saying he's a Bruno Mars clone or even Olly Murs.... Guy Sebastian has been doing this for like ten years
Courtney t ikr? Well now the rest of the world knows the 'original' is Guy Sebastian ;-)
***** Guy wears hats quite often. You can even see him with a similar hat on the album covers for The Memphis Album and Like It Like That and the single covers for Don't Worry Be Happy and Never Hold You Down. As for dancing, he's quite an energetic performer when not sitting down for ballads.

However, saying that Guy has ripped off Bruno's style/sound is simply untrue.
Guy started in 2003 w winning aus idol s1. Bruno hit the scene in 2004 but it took a while for him before he got attention.
***** before you make accusations do some parking research - guy has been performing way before Bruno Mars
As an Australian who has watched Eurovision every year growing up it is incredible to have been apart of this. Thanks Eurovision!!!
They were really good as well!
I'm really shaking my head at Britain's entry...It was just awful.
I'm also glad Sweden won, they deserve it plus its the only winner so far who i'm pleased with XD
ProPatria Studios Britain and Australia's were totally comparable. Britain is just hated by Europe
ProPatria Studios i love the song from the uk!
With a class act like this,join us every year!!!😄
I agree; This is one tough act to follow!
Love, Norway.
Eadie Dee Welcome to Eurovision. Please stay forever.
Holy crap, what a performance. That voice is crystal clear and on point, and those runs he was doing! Amazing, great entry for Australia.
Guy Sebastian is one of our best singers here!
He was our australia idol winner in 2003 I do believe, well deserved too
Just what I was thinking 😯😊
Really, this style of song & staging UK often sends and places last. I still remember this vividly, because I had never heard of him (don't really know Aussie music scene), but as soon as he began his performance, I thought "wow, this guy is a STAR".

The best australian entry EVER !! ^^_^^
Hahaha, great comment:)

I agree my friend😊

And the worst ;)
Australia is my favourite European country ❤️

Cheers mate
He even had a cold when he was performing this 🤯

You know his most famous song?
No
Alexis Price Listen to battle scars and like a drum plx :)
Ok I will check them out
Yeah! Battle scars is sooooo great!!!
He literally nailed every single note! So so proud of Guy and Australia and I hope Eurovision will have us again PLEASE!
ctelle9 I hope they let you come back
***** I'd love to send Sia along. She'd definitely concoct something memorable.
***** Sia is too famous for this contest.
Fair point!
ctelle9 Sia, Matt Corby, Stan Walker (With a good song) and Jessica Mauboy can do it better next time too!
I could just make out slightly laboured breathing in the slow section that gave away how ill he had been and that he was still recovering.

He's a trooper our Guy isn't he. He nailed it even though he was sick. Well done mate.

Huge thanks to all the Europeans for your kind comments about the Aus performance, thanks for having us!

Guy's music is totally my style and I still believe this is the best Australian entry. They need to make more than just safe pop songs to impress me.
IceCranberry Exactly. I think this is their best entry so far.
Brandon Jinjiyoshi Tilley I mean having Americans would be interesting don’t get me wrong but would like. I think we’re straining away from the EURO part of Eurovision xD .
What an amazing artist Guy is. Performance well done, singing absolutely perfect. This definitly Should've won the competition
Ikr
Jaimy Trommelen maybe but i was kinda happy that he was in the top 5 and didn't won bcuz this would be very very very embarassing for europe right?😂😂😂
Sweden were also a little better that year
Isn't it funny that Australia have only joined and they've come closer to winning than most of the countries that have been in it for years! 😂
Autumn Grump we sure are great, this year we'll send another great singer :)
To be fair, Australia has so far nominated Guy Sebastian and Dami Im to participate, both of whom have proven to be very successful. A lot of countries nominate artists who aren't even well known in their own country.
cascada is veeeeeery well known but she didnt come close to winning, did she?
No, but Cascada had a mediocre performance and a pretty poor song that sounded a lot like the winning song of the year before.
@@Railbird_ true
I can't still get over this... 2015 was so full of good songs

Great performance and song! Never heard of Guy Sebastian before, but now that I have, I'll certainly listen to more of his songs. Great voice!

this is another level, out of Eurvision format, this is a complete, perfect performance of a professinal artist
I'm not even from Australia, I'm from Portugal and I feel so proud of Guy. He did fantastic job. I'm just so happy for him. ❤❤❤
It's. Shame that Portugal was one of only two country's not to give any points to Australia.
dimsim78 Actually, 5 countries gave Australia no points. Portugal, Georgia, Montenegro, Azerbaijan and Czech Republic.

***** Wasn't Guy also sick when he performed?

Australia, you were so incredible last year!!!!!! UKRAINE ADORES YOU!
DesertRose
You guys are pretty incredible yourselves :)
What a great memory this was. The fun of being in the contest for the first time and then totally astonished of just how good Sebastian handled this song. Blew the competition away.
If only all the other countries were this good.
Australia please come back, we love your singer !😘 5th for the first time wow great job👌
Best song in 2015!!! Love so much from Russia ❤️️
I didn't know he was recovering from being sick
what a legend and he nailed it and we came top 5 lmao
Awesome performance considering he was sick, you can hear him breathing heavy towards the end. Was so proud watching Australia finally compete, he set a very high standard.
He was sick when he sung this?? If so he sounds insanely good!!
It's so good to see Australia in Eurovision. Welcome again and again :)
Thank you from Australia.🇦🇺😙
This is probably my favourite eurovision song of all time!!!
Way to make a mark on Eurovision on your first try, Australia. This song and performance will be remembered for a long time. Congratulations on your well-deserved 5th position, Guy Sebastian and group were phenomenal.
Guy should have won the eurovision..best song in this year's eurovision by far
even u didnt win , we all know you are the best . (: ! thenk you for that perfect perfomance . love it
Guy's RUNS ARE MIND BLOWING!
My favourite Eurovision entry from Australia!
This was one of the best performances of the night! It's fresh, catchy and modern. The kind of songs you can easily listen to on the radio charts. Congratulations Australia, you did it really well in your debut as participant! Please, come back next year!
ronnopotter Comments like this touch my heart, make me so incredibly happy & make me so proud to be Australian! Thank you so much!! :)
ronnopotter It's not up to us. We would if we could but I think it's a one time thing. Possibly China will get next year's wild card. Thanks for your 12 points!
ChloeJaydeGrant No need to thank, I only say the truth, and we can't deny the high level and quality of your candidate! Congrats!
ronnopotter I know, but more than an assertion it's a desire :)
+ChℓoeJayde After a year I can say: Australia... Oops!... You did it again!!! Dami Im was by far the best voice! exquisitely elegant and she really belted out the song! Congratulations once again!
With three of his back-up singers being black Africans combined with his ability to sing his HipPop song just like every other RnB singer in the US, Guy Sebastian well and truly represented Australia on this year's Eurovision.
Georgie Lorenz I dont see any Africans there, but i do see Australian aboriginals there
Georgie Lorenz This really represents Australia because Australia is that multi-cultural. We don't need a white person to be Australian, that's shallow. Guy has been loved and have a true Australian spirit. He's the representation of a modern Australian! And this is his style and his forte since 2003 when he started. Australia is not just kangaroos, deserts and spiders. lol! Ask any Australian and they will not deny it.
I would like to think they were Australian Aboriginals. But I am sure if you're an Aussie, you'd be able to tell.
Georgie Lorenz I'm pretty sure one of his backups was Aboriginal.
It is clear this guy is a professional
the best entry of Australia
Don't know why, but I still get chills when hearing this song, I genuinely thought they would win last year. The atmosphere with this song was so good, exactly what I expect a Eurovision song to be. The atmosphere was amazing due to the energy during this performance and amazing voice. Props to you GUY!
This is amazeballs. Six months later and I am still playing it back. Pure pop! Well done Australia and greetings from Scotland.....
Such a flawless performance. Had Australia had more neighbours this would have won.
bartolo5 Everybody needs good neighbours
platypusboy with a little understanding, you can find a perfect frieeeeeeeend 🎶🎶
Katherine Hompes And you know what, Katherine? That's when good neighbours become good friends.
Australia is the best thing that happened to the eurovision! They bring in some fresh wind!
A lot of love from Israel :)
yelowangel12 Switzerland was the real best thing to happen to Eurovision
thanks for supporting Australia in Eurovision!!!👍👍👍👍
That run on "miiiiIIIIIIiiiiinnnnnd" olala! 🤩🤩
I have lived in Australia for 12 years, originally from New Zealand, this is our greatest moment in history....... please let us comeback
+IDEEN TV
If it was just me deciding, you would be in permenantly already........
My favorite Song from Australia 👍💕 wow, with love from Germany 😘🇩🇪
He was definitely the best live singer of the lot, his voice is incredible.
This Guy man... SO GOOD
Proud of my country giving him 12 points!
Much Love from Sweden!
Very good place for the first time. Great vibes, voice and rithym. Congratulations from Portugal.
Congrats Australia! Y'all smashed the competition, here's to another Australian participation!
Lots of Love from United Kingdom!!
I voted for them!!
I will always say Australia deserved to win this year. You were our guests and brought such a profesional job. You're very welcome to come back to Eurovision with such a brilliant song next year. Greetings from Spain!!
So refreshing to see all these lovely comments from different countries around the world, supporting one another! Music truly unites!
The best voice ive heard in eurovision. Guy sebastian never fails me from Australian Idol up to now..
Love from the Philippines
We love you, Australia.
Greetings from Spain !
That actually brings tears to my eyes! This song was great!!! We want Australia in Eurovision!!! P.S. I'm from Greece.
In 2021, Guy Sebastian’s performance is still the best Australian entry...
So nice to listen to Eurovision songs that were actually more about the song and music. This year it seems like everyone’s going crazy on the stage.
For those of you that say that Australia is not in Europe - true but........every single country from Europe is in Australia
Good luck Guy.
australia
sof123d LOL..good point! In my family alone we have German, Serbian, Dutch, Japanese, Scots and Irish! and thats just the close family!!
sof123d yeah but Armenia, Azerbaijan, Israel & Georgia aren't europe either.
Best comment of the day!! 👏
sof123d Straight to the point! Next year should be invited USA, too, and of course other countries, who want to participate to ESC. My opinion is that this change will bring value added to ESC and everybody will win because will be reduced the votes given by different geopolitical interests (look at Russia song who received a lot of votes from ex-USSR counties). Anyway, congratulation for Australia. Your song is in my top 3 after Sweden and Latvia. Greetings from Romania!
sof123d Good point. Well made.
SWEDEN LOVES AUSTRALIA, COME TO SCANDINAVIA, COME HERE COME HERE, WE LOVE YOU YOU KANGAROOBITCHES, DAMIT I LOVE AUSTRALIA BUT I'M SO HAPPY SWEDEN WON. BUT I LOVE AUSTRALIA HOPE YOU LOVE US BACK?
Honey Bunny We do! =)
Bianca H Thank you, I wish that your country would be in the competition from now and forever :(
Thank you so much. Yeah Sweden really have euphoria feeling now :) Me and my dad watched the full show and when Guy Sebastian came on we loved it! Australia really know the Eurovision concept, fucking awesome :) We play Sebasians song all the time here on the radio. /Much love from Sweden :)
Annie IfIsaymylastnameImustkillyou Thanks so much! It felt like we joined the Scandinavian voting bloc :D 12 points to Sweden!!
Dat Face oh Sweden haha of course we love you! Congratulations on winning you guys deserved it with Heroes :)
That "Oh", the first word Australia has ever sung in ESC, is the sound of Europe realizing what a mistake they made.
JK, thank you Australia for bringing spice to this content, and I can't wait to see you live this year!
Amazing debut, Australia!
Lots of love from Russia! ^-^
This song made me extremely super dooper proud to be an Australian. Guy Sebastian killed it :)

Thank YOU, Guy! And thank you Australia for taking the competition so seriously :-) I voted for you, I hope you will be back next year! :-) Love from Norway
Thankyou for all those lovely comments from all over Europe regarding our Guy. I loved being up at 5 am and voting in my first Eurovision all though I have watched for years!! Can't wait to next year and hope we Aussies can be there again.
