History Music / GuySebastian

** "The Pause" on ''Madness'', another slow song - this time about a deteriorating relationship.

Since then he's gone on to receive 17 ARIA Award nominations, including Single of the Year, Best Male Artist and Best Pop Release, and won Highest Selling Single ARIA Awards for "Angels Brought Me Here" and the Eve collaboration "Who's That Girl". He's also recorded with the likes of Mya, John Mayer, Jordin Sparks, Lionel Richie and the original Creator/StaxRecords house band, while other musicians such as Brian [=McKnight=] and Music/RobinThicke have written songs for him. All of his albums have received either platinum or multi-platinum accreditations, making him one of the most successful popstars in Australian history. In addition, he's performed for Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Benedict XVI, Creator/OprahWinfrey and the entire viewership of ''Series/AmericanIdol'' when Simon Cowell invited him to perform on the show in 2004. He has toured with the likes of Music/TaylorSwift (when he served as her Australian opening act for the Australian leg of the Red Tour in 2014), Music/MichaelBuble and Shane Filan of Westlife. He has performed duets with a wide variety of artists, including Lee Kernaghan, Ronan Keating, Olivia Newton-John and Music/DeltaGoodrem (who he was compared to early in his career and who he counts as one of his closest personal friends). He's even had his songs covered by the likes of Creator/WayneBrady.

* TitleTrack: Every album [[NonAppearingTitle save for]] ''The Memphis Album'' and ''Twenty Ten'' contain one.

** "Fantasise" on ''T.R.U.TH'' - a sexy R&B jam serving as a palate cleanser to the emotional charge of the album.

** ''T.R.U.T.H'' was a mix of power ballads (such as "Believer", "Before I Go", "In a World" and "If He Won't") and some modern American-style R&B (such as "Only Thing Missing", "Love On Display" and "Fantasize").

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The majority of the video for "Gold".
** The cover of ‘’Madness’’.
* DreamTeam: With M-Phazes. The two began working together on ''Madness'' and seem to have good enough working chemistry to collaborate on two more studio releases.
** Lately he's also been collaborating on several songs with Gold Coast-based DJ and producer Paces.

** "Perfection" on ''Like It Like That'', a slow and bombastic love ballad that Guy wrote for his own wedding to Jules.

* {{Keet}}: On yes. Even after reaching fatherhood and juggling a demanding career.

* ChangedForTheVideo: “All I Need Is You”, “Taller Stronger Better”, “Cover On My Heart”, “All to Myself” and “Never Hold You Down” all received remixes for their respective videos. Inverted with “Don’t Worry Be Happy”, which got a remix for the album release.

** Guy was no stranger to reality singing competitions, even before he auditioned for Idol in 2003. In 2000, Guy took part in ''Star Search'' as part of an eight-piece ChristianRock vocal ensemble called [=Gener8=]. They finished in second place.

* AlbumClosure: Some notable ones include:
** "Beautiful Life" on ''Beautiful Life'' - a happy, hopeful song about the future of Guy's career.

** "Used to You" on ''Armageddon'', again a slow and romantic love ballad.

* NewSoundAlbum / AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Each one of his albums has a distinct sound and personality.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: ''Closer to the Sun'', in particular, is a pop-rock album infused with [[ContemporaryRAndB R&B]], {{Soul}}, {{Techno}}, {{Jazz}}, {{Funk}} and {{Reggae}}.

* AdultFear: Discussed in "Big Bad World" and "Light and Shade" as he ponders the state of the world bearing down upon his children.

* RaisedCatholic: Still believes in God, but is not as militant about his beliefs as he was when he was fresh from being crowned Australian Idol in 2003.

* FaceOnTheCover: All his albums to a degree (except for ‘’Madness’’ which is more “Arm On the Cover”) but especially the case for his ninth studio album, ‘T.R.U.T.H’. It’s front-on upper-torso-and-face profile where Guy is sporting a big grin.

* OOCISSeriousBusiness: The video for "Black and Blue" holds the record for containing Guy's first and only "serious confrontation" (that is, "almost a fight scene but not quite) scene, with a guy who is in love with his ex.

Apart from his music career, he also served as a judge and mentor on ''Series/TheXFactor Australia'' from 2010 to 2012 and 2015, winning twice with Music/SamanthaJade and Music/ReeceMastin. In 2019, he will serve as a judge and coach on the Australian edition of ''Series/TheVoice''.

* YouNeedToGetLaid: Sebastian was Australia's poster boy for premarital virginity during the years 2003-2008 (when he married his longtime girlfriend, Julie Egan). This was basically the general public's reaction every time his sexuality (or lack thereof) was discussed in the media.
* YourCheatingHeart: "Something Don't Feel Right" from the ''Just As I Am'' album. Inverted in "Candle", where Guy sings about having temptations, then choosing to be with his wife over acting upon them.
