Delta's Postmodern US Talk Show Fantasy Continues
Posted by Clem Bastow at 9:35 AM on July 17, 2008
It seems that her previous dead-end attempts to conquer the US market are but a thing of the past now that Delta is attacking the press rounds in the States with the sort of one-eyed determination (and hair style) that makes me think of Nicole Kidman in To Die For.
First odious gossip blogger Perez Hilton described Delta and Potato as "like Barbie and Ken" (and no, I'm not linking to him) and now she's set to do the rounds on the talkshows. Sayeth Confidential:
Goodrem, hitting the airwaves in New York to promote the album, scored a guest spot on the high-rating talk show The View.Well, gee, go Delta, or something.Luke Dennehy reports from New York that she will film her guest spot on the show tomorrow. The View is hosted by veteran American TV news queen Barbara Walters and features Whoopi Goldberg on the panel.
Goodrem is also pencilled in to appear on the powerful David Letterman Show.
Am I the only person who is massively underwhelmed by Delta and doesn't really care if she makes it stateside or not? Is that un-Australian? Do I not understand mateship? Should I eat more BBQ'd shrimps??

I too am massively underwhelmed by Delta. She's just so blaaah and vanilla and BORING. The US can take her for all I care.

Justcurious, Clem - what makes your gossip blogging less 'odious' than Perez Hilton? I'll admit you're a far better writer, but you're both just bitching about trash.
Well, for a start, I don't call women sluts, bitches, homewreckers, trannies, hobbits, whores... should I continue? - Assoc. Ed.

What's with our media and their panting, desperate seeking of approval in the form of chart success in the US for Australian pop-tarts? Doesn't matter if they're talented, either, just that they make it in America.
