Thanks for some more great listings, some I’d not had the pleasure of seeing before.
Lovely to see my favourite Anthony Callea get another mention. His ‘Back At One’ would definitely be included in my list of all time faves.

Thank You for bringing some great well deserved performances to our notice.
My very favourite is Anthony Callea and its wonderful to see ” I Want To Know What Love Is ” listed. I would have to agree with Lea that Anthony singing ” Back At One ” would also be included in my list of very favourites.
I would strongly suggest having a look at Damien Leith’s version of ‘Crying’ or ‘Wicked Game’. He was the Australian Idol winner in 2006:)
Anthony Calleas performances during Idol was the best overall performances of any idol season from any idol, (Oz) it also attracted the highest/biggest viewing public of any idol season.
He still holds the record of the fastest and highest selling cd (single) of any Oz artist here.
Carlo – great suggestion on Damien Leith. I watched several videos, and clearly “Wicked Game” is in another class altogether. It’s now added to the list.
Great additions. Damien is one of my very favourite Idols. As is Theresa Sokyrka, “Song for A Winter’s Night” is one of the most beautiful performances I can ever recall from a reality singing show.
Interesting new list. And I’m glad to see that you acknowledged other ‘Idols’ from smaller countries.
My special favourite from this list is Anthony Callea. Good to see his “The Prayer” in the original list. But also great to see the sensational “I wanna know what love is” also acknowledged (and “Back at One” too).
Thanks for your efforts.
Mark Vincent’s Nessum Dorma is SENSATIONAL and should be on this list. He is 15 years old with the voice of a man and won the 2009 Australia’s Got Talent.
I love the list.
My Favourite of all time must be Anthony Callea I love”I wanna know what love is ” but” The Prayer” is my special one of all time..
Thanks
