5.0 out of 5 stars A fresh look at Just As I Am, April 2, 2005

This review is from: Just As I Am (Audio CD)

I'm reviewing this album today April 2 2005, even though I've owned it since January 2004. `Why?' I hear you ask. Fair question and I'll tell you if you read to the end.

Despite being made within 6 days of winning Australian Idol 1 and containing some covers, Guy also managed to get 3 of his own songs or collaborations on it and make a good album. Some covers, sure, but you can't accuse Guy of doing karaoke. It doesn't quite fit. It's like accusing jazz musos of doing karaoke when they do another version of `Body and Soul'. The phrase `to make a song your own' was coined for people like Guy.

A long time has passed since January 2004 when I bought this album. There's been a new and better album - Beautiful Life - with Guy writing on 10 tracks. Just As I am gradually fell lower in my CD rotation and when I did play it I picked out tracks, missed a few. Recently I was selecting songs for a portable compilation. I sat down and played many albums right through, track by track, including Just As I Am. For some reason it was like hearing it with new ears, and my favorites on it now change with every play - just like Beautiful Life. It's now on high rotation again with no tracks missed. It's like he was educating me, and now I'm REALLY getting it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUSICAL TREAT - ENJOY!, April 2, 2005

By 

Talent supporter - See all my reviews

This review is from: Just As I Am (Audio CD)

This is Guy's debut album and is full of funky tunes, a lovely ballad called 'Beautiful Friend' and a wonderful version, arranged by Guy, of 'Wonderful World' and Princes' 'When Doves Cry'. It also includes his smash hit single 'Angels Brought Me Here' which is the fastest selling single in Australian Recording history. Three of the songs on the album were co-written by Guy including the second hit single 'All I Need is You'. Guy showcases his unique and wonderful voice on all the songs on this album making it a joy to listen to. There are no skip tracks and the title song 'Just as I Am' sums up Guy admirably. If you like soul, RnB and pop then this album is a must for your collection. Enjoy the wonderful gift that Guy gives through his music.

4.0 out of 5 stars The voice of an Angel, April 2, 2005

Guy Sebastian is the Idol winner of the Australian Idol.
This album proves why he was the winner of Australian Idol.

I am so amazed with this album. It is really amazing for someone who just recorded it for 6 days and who is only 22 years old when recorded it!!!!

This album is a great buy and must have in your music collection.
It's a great collection of inspirational and contemporary songs. Guy's voice is beautiful, smooth, and heart-moving.

Although I rate this album 4 stars, Guy Sebastian is definitely a 10 stars musician! Look out for him in the future and have a taste of him now by buying copies of this album for you and your friends!!
