a wondrous end to a long and winding journey

it's amazing when you get to see someone's dream come true.

in the last couple of months, australia has watched, supported and cheered for the australian idol finalists. last night, they voted for THE ONE. guy sebastian.

i never picked up the phone or sent an sms to vote for any of the idol finalists but i watched it every sunday when i can (which basically translates to when i am in australia). i have been rooting for guy for the past few weeks and my heart was pounding last night when they were about to announce the winner. i could not help but shout a "YES!" when they said guy's name. i just thought that guy has an amazing voice and a great personality. but more than this, he just puts so much heart into his songs. you can't help but be touched with his songs!

shannon noll, the runner-up, also has a great voice but he was more into rock n' roll (which i heard is well supported by australians) while guy is more into r&b. shannon was absolutely adorable with his kids and i believe that even if he wasn't proclaimed the australian idol, he would still carve his niche in the music industry.

another wonderful thing about all of this was that guy and shannon have been together from the very start. they have been really close and became such good friends. you could see that shannon was extremely happy for guy's success.

it was just fantastic to see someone's dream, which he has worked so hard for, finally come true. and to see so many people supporting you on your way to that dream is magnificent. though i think it's more than improbable that guy and shannon will be reading any of this, i still want to say good luck and congratulations to both of them. i really think they did a spectacular job!

one last note... i also thought the single that guy would be releasing this week is absolutely great and is sure to be a big hit! here is an excerpt of the song, "angels brought me here".

... if you could see what i see, you're the answer to my prayer
and if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
you would know, it would be clear
that angels brought me here...
