"This fella won a comp so some fans of others are still (3 years later) having problems!! Guy Sebastian's range is of about 4 octaves and on this album he's used some of that. Guess its not everyones taste BUT he does have a brilliant falsetto. With the covers on the album he does show his talent in re-arranging songs; while there are 3 of his own songs, 1 of which also went to No. 1. A friend of mine described his voice as smooth liquid toffee laced with cream in the lower register, and his higher register is liquid crystal.He's got great talent and coming into his 3rd year there's promise of another 2 albums (bringing total to 4 plus numerous tracks on other albums). Looking at the comment by the reviewer before (??) they apparently are unaware that the said Randy is a big fan of Guys and said he had his album on repeat, showing Guy off everywhere when he was in the US. There are now some pretty big and well known fans in the US. Guy's brilliant and as a respected muso reported at the time (no fan of the Idol idea) we can be grateful for one thing, and that is bringing us Guy Sebastian. 7 plat can't be wrong,"

"Heard that recently, seen him live and now agree with that judgment.
Just As I Am is funky, pop/urban and his arrangements 1st class. This man is a musician, thru and thru. I had his 2nd album by chance and got sold on him bigtime so chased up his older stuff. What a find... This is what a comp. should be about - finding a true artist, a credible musician and something special.
Australia knows class when it finds it. Oh, and there are about 50 other songs on cds out there with Guy there. Enjoy."
