The first winner of Australian Idol was chosen to be the first Australian representative. He has released eight albums, all reaching the top ten in Australia and his current album, Madness, was released late last year.
His latest single, Linger, was released in November, ahead of his Australian tour.
The Australian entry is yet to be revealed, though likely to come from Guy’s latest album.
What are your thoughts about Australia’s choice?
