Anthony Rocks Australia

"I was recently in Australia on vacation and saw Anthony's single "The Prayer" in local record stores. It was listed as being # 1 so I was automatically curious how this guy sounded.

As soon as I got back home I did my research on the internet and watched his video's from the Australian Idol website. I was very impressed by this young guy's vocal talents. He definitely had the looks that the Idol shows look for and most definitely the talent! I ordered this album directly from Australia and saved about $10.00 by ordering direct (+ the more favorable currency exchange rate). (As you may or may not know some imports cost more when you buy them in the US.) OK enough about all that - bottom line is - This guy can sing - He sounds like a cross between Justin Timberlake (or Nsync) & The Backstreet Boys so he will definitely sell to thousands of teenage girls but he also has a bit of class about him. At 22 - He has a way to go but you can definitely see the makings of a major talent here.

Check out the following songs: THE PRAYER (Classy & vocally impressive, HURTS SO BAD (Catchy Dance tune) , I WANT YOU, (Jazzy R&B) INTO YOUR HEART, (Another Dance type song) and BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER (Another great ballad with strong vocals)

TAKE IT TO THE HEART sounds exactly like a Backstreet song, and OBVIOUS sounds very much like Take That (remember them?) LOST IN SUMMER is also fun ( Sort of like the Janet Jackson song "SloLove" from her last album. It has the same sunny type of feeling.) I have been listening to this album for about 3 days now and I definitely like it. Looking forward to future albums especially since he is selling like hotcakes in Australia which will give him more artistic control in the future. (His first single THE PRAYER is the # 1 best selling Single in Australia by an Australian artist, His second single went to # 1 and his Debut album went straight to number # 1 as well! The numbers don't lie - check this guy out."

Superb Debut Album

"I am not easily impressed , but this album blew me away!



The vocals are world class...so assured is Anthony's singing that it hard to believe that this is a Debut album.

From big, stirring ballads, fun upbeat tracks, slow and sensual sizzlers right up to truly impressive classical stylings this album is remarkable for it's versatility.



This young man posseses one of the finest voices male or female that I have ever heard, international stardom can't be far away.



I highly recommend this album, one of the best!"
