I don’t know jon. I reckon Anthony has been living on a prayer for years. Seems a long time since he released an album or had a single to radio. Is he actually in the recording industry any more, or more a musical theatre performer?

Agree totally with ‘jon’. These singers have well outstripped the ‘idol’ label. And good point jestaCat.
Amongst the new songs “O Holy night’ by Anthony Callea is an absolute stand out and Jessica Mauboy’s ‘Miss you most at Christmas” is also very good.

buyers beware: some of these tracks are not new and have been on previous Christmas releases.
All (P) 2009, except track 2 (P) 2004, track 5 (P) 1999, track 7 (P) 2007, track 9 (P) 2005, track 13 (P) 2003, track 14 (P) 2007.

Just wondering… why are artists like Guy Sebastian and Anthony Callea still just ‘former Idol contestants’ when they have years of successful career behind them? Yet Mark Vincent, in his first year, is a ‘crooner’ not a ‘former Australia’s Got Talent contestant’. Is he a crooner anyway? Not a big gripe – just wondering why the labels.
