Delta Scores DVD Honour
 
Congratulations to the amazing Delta Goodrem who scored the award
for "Best Music DVD" for her DVD "Delta" at the 3rd Annual Australian
DVD Awards held on Friday, March 12 in Sydney. Delta beat out some
stiff competition, including international acts Robbie Williams and Coldplay
as well as quirky rockers MGF, to win the local honour.

Sony Music accepted the award on the evening on behalf of Delta, who is
currently in the US as part of an extended break to help with her
recovery from Hodgkin's disease.

Delta's first ever full length DVD, featuring over two hours of exclusive
footage, "Delta" is now the highest selling music DVD in Australia, with
over 175,000 copies sold around the nation.

Delta's debut album "Innocent Eyes" also continues to break records here
and abroad. The album, which has been released in 22 countries around
the world, has now officially sold 1 million copies in Australia and over 1
million copies in Europe and the UK.

This was added to the official site last week but I didn't receive a notice

Delta's secret songs surface

A MILLION-dollar bidding war is looming over a secret album by Delta
Goodrem.

Goodrem recorded the album, Delta with Collingwood-based producers
Trevor Carter and Paul Higgins, from June 1999 to September 2000. But
it was shelved when Goodrem signed a label deal with Sony Music.

To date, Goodrem has distanced herself from Delta.

But this week Higgins will ask Goodrem to release the album, which was
buried in favour of her breakthrough million-seller Innocent Eyes.

Higgins will then put Delta on the market and ask for record company
bids.

"When it is shopped around, every label would want a piece of it," Higgins
said. "Then it is fair to assume if we released it, it would be very
successful. It would sell."

Industry experts predict bidding for the album would top $1 million.

"It'll top that easily," one record company boss said.

"Look at the numbers Innocent Eyes did, then look at the egos in this
business who want a Delta record in their catalogue.

"At the end of the day, there will be a fierce bidding war."

Goodrem was a development artist, with a two-album deal, contracted to
Higgins and Carter's label, Empire, when she recorded Delta.

Goodrem was then an ambitious 15-year-old keen to emulate the pop
sound of the Spice Girls, Britney Spears and Mandy Moore. According to
the Empire deal, the Delta album is co-owned by Higgins, Carter,
Goodrem and her parents, Lea and Dennis.

Goodrem wrote two songs on Delta: a power ballad, Love, and light
rocker Just Blame Me. She filmed a video for a ballad, Say. Carter wrote
11 tracks.
 
"Technically, this record can be released and it cannot be stopped by
Sony," Higgins said.

"Obviously, we can't act alone, but we don't think there is any good
reason not to release it.

"It's a great album and it doesn't say bad things about Delta.

"The point is, this record was always meant to be released. The whole
purpose was to record a finished album that would see the light of day."
 
Sony Music is aware of Delta. Those recordings were partly responsible
for Goodrem being noticed and signed to the company.
 
Higgins said Sony shortlisted five tracks to be used on Innocent Eyes, but
then decided to use other songwriters and producers.
 
"We didn't get a look in ever again. It was the classic case of a record
company reinventing the artist, going back to the drawing board and
throwing out all the groundwork that had been done," said Higgins, who
has approached Sony to release Delta. Sony has said he should discuss
the matter with Lea Goodrem.
 
That stance confuses Higgins and Carter. Is Delta the album Goodrem
and Sony want nobody to hear?
 
"I would hope not. Then, she was very proud of it. It showed off her
determination, ability and talent from a young age," Carter said.
 
Higgins added: "It needs to be appraised and appreciated for what it is.
These were Delta's early years. Now, she might have political reasons, or
reasons to do with her future career, that may sway her attitude to this
album. She may see it as something from her past and not relevant now.

"But there is nothing to ashamed of. It deserves to be heard."


Princess who lived her dream

ONCE upon a time, there was an aspiring pop princess called Delta
Goodrem. Unlike other pop wannabes, her dreams were backed by talent,
ability, charisma, energy and drive.
 
Many believe Goodrem's fairytale began with her million-selling Innocent
Eyes album.
 
But it started with Delta, 13 tracks recorded at the age of 15, then
shelved after signing a major label deal.

Delta puts the Goodrem phenomenon in perspective. It captures,
perfectly, the first steps of a future star.
 
Producer-songwriter Trevor Carter reveals 11 effervescent, catchy pop
flavours. She handles them like a seasoned pro: Britney-sonics on What
Kind Of Girl and an instant power ballad with Promise. There's a defiant
vibe on Just Blame Me and mature pop with slow, low beats on Love. On
The Flame and Spirit, Goodrem is in patriot mode. This album shows the
promise Goodrem fulfilled with Innocent Eyes, and is still to do in the
future.
