In 2004 Series 2 of Australian Idol on Idols Choice night Anthony Callea went with his gut instinct, took the risk and performed the beautiful Andrea Bocelli & Celine Dion song The Prayer, from the Soundtrack 'Quest For Camelot'. His risk paid off and The Prayer was eventually recorded by Anthony post Idol (produced by John Foreman)and went on to become the Highest selling single by an Australian artist ever (a record that still remains almost 4 years on)he also held the No.1 spot on the Aria charts for an amazing 5 weeks straight.
Includes Judges comments from Marcia Hines, Mark Holden & Dicko. Mark Holden's only ever Grand Royal Touchdown was awarded to Anthony for this performance, and also left Dicko speechless.

    I'm not too surprised, its a hard one to sing and Anthony knew he was taking a chance performing a song such as this and he didn't know what people's reaction would be, but he blew everyone away, it was so wonderful that he took that chance and went with his heart.

    I am surprised that this song has not been song on American Idol. It has such great potential, and I think if it is sung on American Idol, it will have the same response that Anthony Had on this performance...
