Guy Sebastian jetted to Jakarta this week to perform on Asian Idol. Apparently this was like a mini version of World Idol (anyone else remember that?), where six Eastern nations battled for the title.
Now, Hady Mirza of Singapore won, but I figured my readers might be more interested in checking out Guy Sebastian’s duet with […]

It’s that time of year again, where working folks start winding down for the year and looking forward to their office Christmas parties.
