9:32AM Jess McGuire | Delta Goodrem’s plan to conquer the notoriously difficult American music scene hit a hurdle over the weekend with news emerging the singer has been
dumped by her US record label. As our Associate Editor quipped, “looks like no one was interested in
Delta’s mermaid fantasy“.
The pop star, who is still signed to SonyBMG in Australia, was dropped by the US arm of the mega music company. Goodrem’s Australian record label and publicist yesterday confirmed the 23-year-old star had lost her US deal with SonyBMG.
However, the spokeswoman said the singer was in talks with other American labels. Sources say Goodrem is likely to sign with the Universal Music Group. Her spokeswoman said: “There are plans for a release of the Delta album in the US …”
Yes, well – there are plans for the Defamer Australia team to retire in a couple of years time to a tropical island where we shall be waited on hand and foot by John Mayer (and assorted other wrong crushes), never again forced to follow the career of Kyle Sandilands or listen to another Idol single, choosing only to exercise when Jillian Michaels* turns up for our annual boot camp session, and we’d say our plans and Delta’s management’s plans have pretty much the same chance of being realised.
We’re just shocked that the American record company big wigs weren’t shitting themselves with glee and counting their chickens after learning of
Delta Goodrem and Olivia Newton John’s impending duet.
*We may just have something cooking when it comes to getting our paws on Jillian. NO, REALLY!
