Faithful reader, Bev, sent me some links to Anthony Callea of Australian Idol (season 3, I believe) and I was blown away. I think he is fabulous. Today he will face off against Anthony Federov but he will also square off against Clay Aiken on Friday.
Which Anthony already knows what love is?

Saachi – I hope Anthony Callea gets to US so you can have the absolute pleasure of hearing him sing live, its a very special experience he is also about to star in an Australian theatre production of “RENT”, playing the lead role of Mark Rogers, should be fantastic.
There’s no contest here. Anthony Fed seems really sweet, but Anthony Callea really kicks it up 50 notches, he is simply dynamic. The rich timbre in his vocals give’s me goosebumps, just beautiful. There’s obviously a lot more US voters on this site, you really should have another listen.
Anthony Callea hands down for me. Anthony C has the best voice i’ve heard in years. Loved every single one of his idol performancers. There’s no other like AC. HE ROCKS!!!
Anthony Callea has my vote.
However, I didn’t see my vote register on the counter???
Loved the deep rich tones of Anthony Callea and the way he built the song from soft to powerful climax, then down to soft again for the finish. Great stuff!
Siny, I don’t really see the problem with someone posting a link to a video of Clay Aiken doing the same song during a concert. He is not part of the vote and the poster didn’t say anything to imply he was better or anything. I totally understand that what Clay has done since leaving the show is not and should not be compared to the show. That being said, the unfair advantage would of course be tremendous as you stated. But realistically, even the idol clips in many cases have unfair advantages in the later seasons, as they got to do a lot the early seasons didn’t get — including having live bands, having more time to perform, having the ability to run all over the stage, into the audience, on a platform behind the judges etc. The first 2 seasons were pretty much restricted to stage and a sound track instead of better music — not backups, nothing to make them appear better.
I did thought Anthony Callea was really really good. Great voice.
Just for the heck of it — not to win this vote but because I love this song and to see it done with absolutely breathtaking playing by an orchestra and fantastic singing, even with funny thrown in — here is another clip of Clay and his girls ganging up on his to both be the “duet” partner — it was amazing.

Anthony Fedorov for me!
His voice is so angelic and pleasent,clear, like a stream of the rainbow.
He still looks so young, his voice will get the richness when he grows up.
HOlding that highest note is very difficult and he’s been done it perfectly.
Is he the one who had the malignant growth around his vocal cord as a todler?
If true he must be a miracle having a voice like that!
Gotta go with A-Fed!!!
Not a True Friend, strange though it may seem, this poll isn’t about Clay Aiken.
Anthony Federov’s voice is quite pitchy at times whereas Anthony Callea’s notes are pitch perfect.
Anthony Callea has a glorious, rich voice whereas Anthony Federov’s voice doesn’t have much depth to it.
Verdict: Anthony Callea is definitely the winner.
Anthony Callea without a doubt! Federov was good, but a little pitchy at times, and I preferred Callea’s interpretation, although Federov’s was quite interesting. Loved the deep lush Callean tones!
Excuse me ‘Not a True Friend’ there is no need to be rude!
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
Definately Anthony Callea is my choice!
“The King of Vocals” ??? – ROFLLLLL I wonder what Claymates thing about it.
I listened to both – This Federov guy actually captured me at the end with that big note belted out, where this Cellea guy was a bit flat here and there, but overall, his vocals were strong.
They both were good.
“The King of Vocals” – still ROFLLLLLLL
Hands down Fedorov
Anthony Callea – Without a doubt the King of Vocals
Anthony Callea of course!! He’s simply the best at whatever he sings!
Anthony Callea without a doubt is the best!
Anthony Callea – awesome voice, best performer ever!
Anthony Callea wins hands down! His voice is divine!
Anthony Fedorov
He is simply the best.. It’s not contest!
When is Anthony Callea coming to the US? He’s fantastic! I want to hear him sing live!
No contest.
Anthony Callea’s version of this song is superb. He never fails to deliver fabulous performances.
