Things Continue To Go Tiresomely Well For Delta
Generally speaking, whenever Australian artists attempt to crack the big microphone in the sky and move to the States to “make it”, they come back sooner or later with harrowing tales of playing the toilet circuit in Duluth, or about the time they opened for Stone Temple Pilots/Dave Matthews Band/UFO and were booed off stage in a hail of beer bottles and small dogs. Not so our Delta Goodrem, who seems to have struck (theoretical) gold on her second attempt to break through into the US, and continues to provide a whole bunch of rather dull copy about how well things are going for her – the latest, this piece about Delta “dazzling at New York Fashion Week”. No need to rub it in, Delts!
Organisers had sought Goodrem’s permission to play her hit song, In This Life, as models showed off the latest offerings from some of the world’s top designers.
But when they realised the singer could pass as a catwalk model herself, they invited her to strut her stuff.
Goodrem, in a floor-length orange dress that showed off her shoulders, looked comfortable as she stepped out in front of some of the world’s most fashionable people.She was pleasantly surprised, and said “I’ll give it a go,” when organisers asked her to take part in the parade.
Man, if you took the 2008 leg of The Delta Goodrem Story to Lifetime or The Hallmark Channel and suggested it would make a good midday movie, they’d laugh you out of the boardroom, decrying your tale as “too much of a good thing” and muttering about how “no one wants to watch someone getting everything they’ve always wanted” while you contemplate a watery end from the side of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Actually, maybe I’ll pitch a midday movie about a screenwriter who pitches The Delta Goodrem Story, only to be laughed out of town and into the welcoming embrace of potential suicide, only to be stopped at the last moment by a wise-talking pug dog, Starring Steve Carrell and The Vocal Talents Of Dom DeLuise.
Seeya, guys, I’m off to Hollywood!

Don’t worry, unless she dumps the potato head fiancee something bad is bound to happen.
oh let me count the reasons on why you could never actually be famous! You are stuck up and have your head in the sand.
Heaven forbid you actually be happy for someone at least once in their lives!
ED: I’d argue with you, Blah, but ever since I saw Clem walking around sticking pins into doll that looked exactly like Delta Goodrem (and this was BEFORE you-know-what), I’ve thought to myself “There’s someone who doesn’t deserve the gift of fame.” Thank you for your considered response.
Doesn’t deserve the gift of fame?
I’m sorry not everything is about being famous!
I’m sorry but I don’t see Kylie or The Veronicas spending over 9 hours at a shopping centre for an instore. Meeting and greeting all of their supporters. In fact I don’t even see them holding instores. Maybe that is because the Veronicas are too busy self publicising their so called “leaked” photos and Kylie is too busy saying to the media “oh if I had more time the album would have been so much better”.
Excuses excuses.
Sorry but I think it’s good that Delta is having a good run in America. She has done the hard work behind it all. It’s not like she is expecting to perform in sold out arenas over there. Hell, she doesn’t even expect that in Australia.
You may not think she deserves this so called gift you call fame. But at least she is out there living her dreams, which is a lot more than what a lot of other people are doing. And hey is she happens to inspire a couple of others in the process then she is doing a decent job. Delta is someone who kids should look upto as a role model, not someone like Paris Hilton.
