THIS IS A LONG POST BUT WELL WORTH THE READ.........IT'S WONDERFUL.......
From mamasforguy posted on Yahoo Group. Guy was back in Adelaide to see his family the past couple of days
HI Everyone
Here is my report from tonight concert at a church near me starring GUY .
I had heard that possibly Guy may be singing at the Northern Sydney Christian centre which is near to me , so i rang the one of the pastors and she warmly invited me along. I actually knew many people there from tehr churches and their TV show!! so it was cool to meet their pastors etc . who i ahd sen on TV etc
Anyhow i got there early and bought a ticket ( it was a fundrasier to help send some of their members as missionaries to north Africa cost $ 50 ) I chatted to a few young people who had come from other churches to se GUY but no one was alike a huge GUy fan!! I think I was the biggest one there LOL - not like a concert!!
Anyhow Guy arrived with his two brothers Chris and Jeremey and their mum( but i didnt see her sadly - Ive always wanted to meet her ) Also a couple of PPl from BMG and his guitartist Carl. He waved at the still small crowd and went straight to the Green room.
One girl I had been talking to got to pas her letter to him which made her really happy . I met te pastor and hes was so cool and I told him im a guy fan from yahoo and hes said its cool if i want to write anything and hoped i could get a pic - which sadly I didnt cos there was a strict no photos rule in the church ( bmg decision) any how after we went in i sat with a lady I had been chatting to from that church just 3 rows fro the from the center and few metres from the stage . There was around 500 people there.
The first act was the lovely Kiki from popstars who looked lovely and sang 2 songs with piano and 2 with guitar Including the one in full from her final performance on popstars. She was really great .
At intermission I met Guys guitarist Carl in the bathrooms, He remebred me from when i had seen them in Bondi and we said hello and had a laugh . I also met in the bathrooms the young fellow from popstars called Daniel who sis really one of the nciest people ive ever met. I fond him a total delight .
Any way then came the man we were waiting for, GUY!! he came out loking lovely and rayther grungy (LOL) in his red tshirt , old suit jacket a couple of sizes too small ~ and green cargo pants and some new white shoes! he called over this brotehr jermey tot ake his phone , Jeremy has suchh a cheeky smile! and he introduced also, his brotehr Chris. It was amazing being so close, with their lovely lighting, too. GUy came out and said helloa dn said well i ebtetr do waht i do and thats sing! GUy accompanied by Carl on guitar sand wonderful world which was simply wonderful!! amazing. he gets right into it so quick.
Guy said that he was so so wiped out that he had sit down but he also added it was cool to sit anyway . . WOW ~ Then GUy shared that he has just driven all the way from Adelaide - he was so funny and added he drove cos he wanted to spend more time with his family ( as many of us know he was back ij Adelaidethis last week catching up on playing cricket ! among other things! so I think that means he drove with his brothers ? not sure. Anyway he was simply hilarious as he admitted he ran out of petrol at one point and had to hitch to the nearest Gagrage to get some !! We can just imagine right!? He said he hadnt realised how far it was to drive and again metionaed how totally wiped outa nd tired he was. he ddi look tired but great
too . He was so natural normal and sweet and although the audience was low key compared to concert it was a nice intimate vibe. Very special. he so kind to do this for a good cause.
Anyhow.. Then he sang the medly that he did at the AGMF - 'I surrender all 'and 'because he lives' - Not many people knew the songs but of course I did only too well! and I thought of our dear fellow Guy fan freinds who were at that permormance in Toowomba
and how lucky i was to be hearing that magificent voice a few metres away singing those same songs. I nevr thought I would and This medaly has become such a favorite it the past few weeks!! It was stunning . . totally heart wrenchingly stunning !
Guy then sang Angels to a loud applause and much apprecaition from the many many younger people there . He did this playing the electric piano .IT was a great version with his voice as perfect as eevr! with sem news bits that he mucked up a bit and he said he and Carl had practiced so many different arangements he forgot what he was doing!! then he took a sip of his water and says ' its not pepsi haha' he made a joke about not being a great piano player either and that hes far from a perfect person !! ( must admit to thinking
YOU SO ARE!!)
He then talked a bit about the USA and meeting great people esp Brian McKnight and he then said Home was one of his favorite songs and didnt think anyone here would know it but I couldnt help clapping and also a couple o others so he smiled at us and said 'hey great! some do' theh he sadi what the song meant to him
~ about always having people waiting open armed for you no matter where you go in life or what you do ..he said soemthims he forgets who he is and comng home gives him perespective (something like this ) The he sang Home which made many tears come to peoples eyes. It was wonderful. I was still gob smacked beliving I was actually sitting a few feet from our GUY!! hearing my most favorite song of his of late!! I said 'thats my favorite song' and he smiled .
Then Guy went over to these couches they had set up on the stage ( very similar to the 'Rove' set complete with large bowls of lollies ) and one of the men ( i think it was the youth pastor ? ) from the church inteviews Guy and asked questions that people had submitted before hand via their site and through their church . Guy
talked for about 25 minutes! and just said so much I dont think ILL remember much of it.

PLEASE READ THIS ...IT IS SOOOO BEAUTIFUL.....IT'S THE INTERVIEW GUY DID ON SAT. NIGHT...NOW I KNOW WHY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alot was about things we all know of course and have heard many times ... I do remeber he said he didnt much like when people expressed worry about him and are concerned hes so busy and baby him. he said you dotn need to do that Im fine busy but ok. He said many peopel are busy and he said his dad works harder than him cos he gets up at 6ama dn deosnt et home till 8pm... He said he doesnt work that hard adn at least he gets some regular times off . He said its his Job
A person asked what was the hardest thing a bout being famous. He basically said the hardest thing was missing his family and mates but he was very happy to do what he does. He also said its funny how people feel they know him like a memebr of his family Cos his
face is everywhere etc! and he understands that but then they come up and say 'hi GUY' just like a good friend then realise 'hey he doesnt know me like i do him!!
He mentioned american idol being a bit crazy and shopping in LA etc and that he had wriiten with some amazing people. And had recorded alot of his new CD already!! ? I wow i ddnt know that ? I hope i heard that right) he said he now has a studio in his home and
hes working there mostly .
GUy also said hed got his new earring from New York! when the man asked him about it !And he aded that his mum was not happy! I remembr that part! Then they read out a note from a little girl about 8 years old asked if GUy could wait for her about 11 years, as her dad has waited for m her mum that long!! and Guy said wow thats a long time youll ahve to pray real hard!!and he alughed as did everyone. Then another little five year old, who was a big fan of Guys, wanted a hug, and she came and up shyly carried by her mum and got a nice hug from GUy .Ahhh so cute .
Anyway he just finally said re he question s: 'let me tell you my whole lifes story' and he just kept talking so openly dn naturally ~all about hsis cricket team his high school, his stud, the jobs hesd had , how he started as a music teacher when he'd never done it before!, about Idol and about singing at church and everything else we basically all know . He again said the most excting person he met was Brain Mc Knight and he said 'simply cos im sucha fan and so are my family"
Then he ended the talk by saying how hes again having revelation just how much the fans do for him re the voting , texting , on idol , the buying of cds supporting him etc etc. He said he appreciates this this so so so much! cos he knew music was to be his life but he didnt know how it would come about.
Im sure theres more cos he talked for ages but i cant remembr it all oh yes someone asked what a typical day was like he said he does alot of things' like this' apprearances , recording , writing, promos etc ..but it s 'all ok' . Somemone also asked whats changed most in his life and he said bssically everything ! but he was very grateful for it all and added he still would like one day to build a house back Adelaide. He says he still doesnt feel that much at home in Sydney even though its been his home for a while and he said his friends here are hopeless at cricket!! LOL. Then the youth
pastor says " so you need Sydney freinds GUY ?; . well of I course wave my hand at that one ..and a few other all did too.... LOL like 'me me' ! haha
Anyway he then said here's a song from another hero who he hasnt met yet, Stevie Wonder and that it was his first audtion and that dicko has said he looked like crap but sang great ..he did a funny face :0 The sang 'ribbon in the sky' and it was by FAR the best
version i have ever heard him or anyone sing. It was truly stunning and the SPIRIT in the place and around Guy and in my heart was so beauftiul at least to me. This was the highlight of the eveing to me. totally heavenly!! I wished hed recorded that one tongiht cos it was amazing! ..I sang silentely along to every word of course . It was truly phenomenal and I cant belive my luck at being there ... I hope they release the recordings of the night .
He then said hed end with a boppy one and danced around looking so cool!! to also one of the best ever versions of All I need is you . alot of people singing along it was cute esp to see the fathers with their kids singing it IT was first class ~ his voice has settled in and he sounded amazing!! he kept trying to get people to clap and dance around and click their finger s but it was a quiet subduded audience all plently of cheers and applause. I didnt bop around as much as I could in my own grooveland and as i could without be to obvious! I think it makes him happy to see people really enjoying his music.
GUY then said quick bye and and thanks so much for coming ....OH so quick it was over ....Sometimes an events so special you just cant seem to drink it all in!! I kept trying to remember everything so I could come and tell you all!!
