To be entirely honest, I was not overly enthralled and captivated when Australian Idol first came, but when I saw the remarkable talent of Guy while channel-surfing back at the time when it was down to the final 8, I was much more enthusiastic towards the show. To me Guy was undoubtedly the best talent on the show, so it is reassuring that the majority of voters opted to base their votes on talent. Although, I would have liked to have seen Paulini and Guy contest the final. He is definitely unique, with a voice of an angel, and has an amazing stage presence. He is a musical talent, writes his own compositions, and furthermore is a humble and gracious person. I just hope his new management team guides him in the right direction. His album is scheduled to be released on December 8th, so he will be extremely busy from here on in.
World Idol will give Guy some free exposure to a global audience and will also give him a head start before he begins promoting himself internationally. He will be a great ambassador for Australia. Whether Guy will become an international superstar remains to be seen, but he possesses the talent, the marketability and the voice to really excel not just here, but in many other markets around the world.
