I really miss the days when it was the Evfans/Nessaholics forum.

As for Delta... she has been pimped to me hard. I got nearly every song, minus anything new the last 3 months or so.
She does have some good song, I like "Lost Without You", "Not Me Not I" and maybe a couple others but...
She's just not an artist I'm that attached to. Its not that I dont like the genre cause I'm in love with Dido, and Sarah McLachlan is amazing, but Delta just doesnt do it for me really.

So I vote: I am just not down with Delta

Ahh yes Kev, I remember the Ev day's. I totally remember the Ev thread on the o-board, that was insane. I remember I couldn't pronounce their name at first, I was like "Ev-who?" and when nobody heard of them.. I still feel special I was one of the first people who heard of them before they got all popular.

Yup, good times. :)

Ermm i like some of her songs but she is passed off as a singer/songwriter, but actually she doesn't write many of her own songs. So yes, she has an alright voice- it can get a little whingey after a while though.

Post by: divasteph on February 23, 2004, 10:59:58 am
she co-writes a bunch of her songs or has songs written for her- so i understand --- but a lot of labels buy just random songwriters songs - and in this case she has people that specifically work with her and for her... so i dont know - i think she has a large hand in the songwriting process even if she doesn't write the song...

Yeah, i'm just not sure how much of a hand she has in it. Co-writing could mean she just added in a word here or there and they put her name on it to give her more credibility. I don't know, but how well can she play the piano? And don't refer to that bit of one of her videos, cos i don't believe its her!

lol - i dont know - i dont play very well or much so i cant judge too much but i think she is good - i am not sure i dont think a lot of her piano is more challanging than vanessa's - i think vanessa does more complicated pieces --- i think i just really want to believe in this girl and support her - with her illness and the same illness my good friend had i just want to support her and i think she is a really likable girl - she is sexy but still really innocent and wholesome - i think thats the kind of role model that teens need today - her music is up lifting and fun but still the lyrics arent for 5 yr olds - but its inspirational and fun - and free spirited -- her deeper stuff is still fun and catchy --- and she is overall a sweet girl next door - i guess with the whole tennis star boyfriend and acting too - she is very comparable to mandy moore --- they also have cute faces and girl next door images --- i suppose thats all the rambling i have to say right now

i dunno...i dl "not me not i" but i just wasn't feeling it. She has a really good voice, i just couldn't feel that song. Of course, it's just one song, so i could like her others but so far my opinion is based on that....

I like Delta, she is with a doubt a very talented singer. I don't like her as much as Vanessa though because I think their styles of music are quite diverse. She can play piano, but her music is not as complex as Nessa's so we don't hear it much. Innocent eyes is a really good album though! I play piano barefoot too lol  :D

Title: Delta Goodrem!
Post by: divasteph on February 23, 2004, 01:53:38 pm
she has hodgkin's disease
i think she has finished up her treatment though, right?
hodgkin's (well there is lots of info i posted about hodgkin's in the delta thread) is basically a fairly rare form of cancer - she has had it for almost a year, right? and has gone through chemo, etc so yeh - there is this sense of support and protection for her i feel - i think she has been through so much lately and is so lovable and talented you just want to root for her - even though she is just way to blessed in other areas - she is just so damn pretty and has such a nice voice and a music and acting career - you should want to be jealous and hate her - but instead i just want to protect her and spread delta love!

Delta wrote In My Own Time and Will You Fall for Me on her album and yes she does play the bit in the Innocent Eyes video it sounds and looks the exact same live they even do the same camera angle, now even that is hard to fake.
Although when playing it live she misses out her double octave of A at the beginning of this cadenza but plays the right hand perfectly apart from when (if you listen to the album recording) when she has went down 2 octaves of where she started, -she goes back to her starting point- she just continues right the way through. Did anyone understand that? :?

Rosie I do think that it was a bit judgemental of you to think that because it looks hard and sounds hard then it can't be her, it only takes a little practice to pull it off.

I think Vanessa's music is harder than Delta's but that doesn't mean it aint any less good, although the Not Me Not I intro was a bit tricky since you need to stretch a lot.  But piano parts like Papa just blow me away!

Just because she didn't sit down and fully write out each note and lyric doesn't mean you should dislike her.

Err no Scott. I think it was a natural reaction for me to be critical, if she doesn't write her own music then it is a natural conclusion to follow that she may find it harder to play her songs- since she doesn't write them in the first place. It may take practice to pull it off, but it also takes talent- and just because she can sing doesn't mean she can play piano. Just because you find it easy does not mean everyone else does.  I see no evidence that she actually played that part.

And yes, you'd say "i don't like britney because she doesn't write her own songs" so why is this any different? SO many people on this board makes statements about how artists should write their own music and play it too- and i know you have said things to the same effect before.

Oh please, if you had read this thread properly Scott then you would see i asked how many songs she had written. She's actually written 2- thats it. And 'co written' others, i don't call her a singer/songwriter in that case. Whatever happened to a normal discussion? Instead of you attacking me over something that i just raised as a point? "like her or else!", what kind of a thread is that?
