Delta was just on the Hot 30 Countdown with Matty and Mel tonight to talk about her amazing performance of ‘Sitting on Top of the World’ (iTunes link) at the Logie Awards last night and played a game to see who could hold a note the longest.

Delta was interviewed on numerous shows for the Nova network. Check them all out below.

The “Sitting On Top Of The World” songstress has been working long and hard on her next album and while Delta Goodrem is pretty keen to keep the name of it under wraps, she spills the beans on what it’s about.

Fitzy and Wippa wanted to help Delta Goodrem with her sales pitches to The Voice contestants after she fell well behind the other mentors on The Voice over the opening two nights.

So they got her to sell “Stefan and Chriz” a used car!

We were lucky enough to chat to the gorgeous Delta Goodrem this week, and she gave us the goss on her new music, and her life at the moment!

Her new comeback single Sitting On Top Of The World has been going great guns around the country since it was released, and we wanted to know… what is it all about?

Delta told take40.com “Sitting On Top Of The World… (is about being) connected to my world, and I feel that I am very free.”

“I think it’s best to always stand in your truth, and always have those quiet moments where you listen to that little voice.”

We wonder whether that little voice came into play when she was dealing with her breakup with Nick Jonas! It’s always important to listen to the signs!

We also asked about her new show The Voice, on which she is a mentor… and wanted to know as the female rose between three male thorns… who is the biggest flirt out of fellow mentors Seal, Joel Madden and Keith Urban?

Delta paused for a second before revealing “I’m going to have to say Seal! (He’s) incredibly warm… but that’s just his energies.”

She also added “We’re here for music, we’re not there for anything else.”

Amy Clough has been fighting a six year battle with Hodgkins Lymphoma, despite doctors telling her she only has months to live; Amy is more determined than ever to prove she can win. Amy joined MORNINGS to tell us her brave story and to meet a huge influence in her life.

Delta was on Smallzys Surgery on NovaFM with Shayne Sinclair (who is filling in for Smallzy) tonight. Delta discussed The Voice, answered questions from callers, gave love advice on the ‘Love Coach’, and played the game ‘The Body’. Check out the interview and video below.

Smallzys Surgery, NovaFM – May 3

Delta Goodrem has become the most scrutinised woman on Australian TV.

When her music career took her overseas, Delta Goodrem momentarily stepped out of the spotlight in Australia. But 2012 has marked her triumphant return to our screens and radios. Yet her role as a coach on The Voice has been polarising. Now, it seems, even a toss of her famous hair can incite debate. Team Delta supporters have proudly spouted their encouragement on social media, but her critics have been just as outspoken. “She seems all style and little substance. She comes across as bland and contrived,” fumed one.

But far from agonising over less-than-kind comments, the 27-year-old singer remains calm about the furore that surrounds her. Spend time with her, and you quickly realise she has a worldly sensibility you’d expect from someone twice her age. “Anybody who has gone through a life-changing experience will tell you there is a different understanding of what is real and what is important, and when you are going through different moments, you can reflect and go, ‘I have been through worse’.”

Woman’s Day – May 14

Delta was on The Today Show this morning performing her smash hit new single ‘Sitting on Top of the World’ (iTunes link) live in the studio and to have a chat about The Voice Australia (7:30pm AEST Mondays on Channel 9) and a little bit about her highly anticipated fourth studio album.

SINCE making some drastic changes in her life, Delta Goodrem has grown up and feels ready to take on the world.

Delta Goodrem greets me at our Sydney studio with a yawn. She’s wandering around barefoot wearing skinny stonewash jeans and an oversize stripy woollen jumper that hangs off one shoulder. She’s wearing no make-up and her mane of golden hair is unbrushed. If you walked past her in the street, you probably wouldn’t recognise her. But if she’s fazed about meeting a journalist without her glad rags on, she certainly doesn’t show it.

“I apologise if I fall asleep halfway through talking – I only had four hours sleep and I’ve just flown in from Brisbane,” she says hoarsely, touching a hand to her neck to acknowledge her sore throat. “I’m exhausted.”

It’s hardly surprising Goodrem’s tired. After almost five years of radio silence, all of a sudden, she’s everywhere. Her single ‘Sitting on Top of the World’ – her first track release since ‘I Can’t Break it to My Heart’ from the 2007 album Delta – entered the ARIA charts at number two last month; she’s appearing as a coach on the Nine Network’s runaway hit show The Voice; she has a new album on the way; plans to tour later this year; and has just bagged a major commercial contract, signing up as the face of vitamin company Swisse’s new skincare range.

“I’ve tried to change my life in the last couple of years, tried to make changes for the best,” says the 27-year-old. “So when Swisse approached me, it was poetic. The stars have been aligning nicely.”

They certainly have. “I think people can see it on my face, I’m just…” she breathes out and smiles, “I’m not stressed. The song ‘Sitting on Top of the World’ is about when you’re in the right place, things are going smoothly. I’m so happy to be back to me again.”

She’s found her feet after making some big life changes. “In 2010, I started my quest to change my world,” she explains. “I realised it was time to move.”

So she left the Sydney home she shared with fiance Brian McFadden and moved to LA, where she lived with her co-writer and long-time friend Vince Pizzinga. Then, in April 2011, after almost seven years together, she and McFadden split.

“Something switched,” she says. “There are things you tolerate when you’re younger that you won’t tolerate when you’re a bit older. You realise, ‘Oh, I don’t have to!’ I had a lot of things that had to change. You have to listen to your inner voice.” She taps her fingers to her forehead and smiles wryly. “But quicker next time.”

Just before the split, she wrote and performed a song with Michael Bolton called ‘I’m Not Ready’ that includes the lyrics, ‘I’m not ready to say goodbye; You and God both know, all the years that I’ve tried; And if it’s over, give me the strength to go.’

“I wrote it just before I made a couple of calls,” she remembers. “I was in my pyjamas and I suddenly knew the sentiment – I’m not ready to say goodbye, but I know I have to. I was like, I have something to say and I want to say it.”

She believes the past couple of years have seen her grow up. “We hurt, we learn, we grow,” she says. “Then we can resonate a bit higher, do things a little better next time.”

A few months after she split with McFadden, Goodrem was spotted with US singer Nick Jonas, eight years her junior. The pair were together for 10 months and split in February. When I ask if she’s enjoying being properly single for the first time in almost nine years [before McFadden she dated tennis player Mark Philippoussis for nine months], she giggles. “Yeaaaah,” she nods vigorously. “It’s awesome. I was ready.”

Despite the inevitable – and unsubstantiated – rumours linking her to fellow The Voice coaches Joel Madden and Seal (who describes Delta as “beautiful, sweet and passionate”), the singer maintains she’s not interested in dating yet: “I’m very free. I’m going to stay like that for a while.”

Goodrem says friends and family have commented on how happy she’s been in the past few months. Although changes in her personal life have certainly contributed to this, she also attributes a large part of it to living in Sydney again. “It’s been so special,” she says. “When I’m on the street or in a coffee shop, people always say, ‘Hi, Delta.’ It’s lovely coming home to that.”

Although she has a large circle of friends in LA (“We call my place there the House of Oz; any Australian passing through comes over for food, a glass of wine, some singing”), being home brings certain pleasures that overseas just can’t deliver: “The fresh air, great coffee, Vegemite, being back with my mum, on the same time zone as my dad and brother and my friends.”

Goodrem has been involved in the Australian music industry since she recorded her first demo CD aged 13. At 15, she signed a record deal with Sony and released her debut single, which flopped. The following year she was offered the role of aspiring singer Nina Tucker in Neighbours, which helped give her an audience to successfully relaunch her music career in 2002. Her first album, Innocent Eyes, sold 4.5 million copies, and her subsequent two albums both hit number one.

After these successes, she admits appearing on a reality talent show wasn’t something she ever considered doing. “I’d been offered a number of [reality] shows that had come to Australia,” she says. “I never thought that would be on my radar. The first call [about The Voice] was from a friend who said
I should be part of the show. I said, ‘That’s sweet of you to think of me, but absolutely not.’ Then I had another couple of calls, so I was like, ‘OK, I’ll take the meeting, but it’s still no.’”

But she was finally swayed. “It’s not my role to hurt anyone’s dreams, but when I discovered I’d be a coach – not a judge – that was different,” she says. “When I found out the other coaches involved, we emailed each other, all asking ‘Are you doing this?’ Then I thought it would be fun.”

Goodrem and co-stars Seal, Madden and Keith Urban have individual trailers outside the studio, but have rigged up an awning so they can hang out together. “I asked for fairy lights and the boys were like, ‘What are these?’ I needed to put some female energy there,” she says with a grin. “Keith’s hilarious, Joel’s hilarious and Seal… he’s hilarious in his own way.”

Much has been made of the fact many contestants chose to be on Seal’s team over Delta’s: “During the blind auditions, we’d see Seal start [on someone], and the rest of us would go, ‘Uh-oh’. It’s like he has this magical, magnetic force-field. You can’t get through it.”

But Seal considers Delta fair competition. “The thing about Delta,” he says, “is she comes across as being this demure, fairy-like person who you’ll warm to. But, you know, there’s a central core that runs through Delta which is very competitive and shouldn’t be underestimated.”

He’s right; between The Voice, promoting her new single and preparing to launch a new album, she’s proving she’s made of something tough. “I’m an extremist,” she explains. “It’s either go big or go home. That’s how my life has been.”

She’s excited about getting back out there. “Touring is my favourite thing. When the light hits the stage, I feel more present than ever.” She’s learnt to curb her nerves over the years. “It’s something I’ve had to work on. When I first performed at the Logies 10 years ago, I was shaking. Now I enjoy it.”

Next year marks a decade since the singer was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma – something that’s always at the back of her mind. “Health is my number one,” she says. “If I’m feeling run down, I rest. But at the same time, you have to be tough, to know when it’s time to work – you have to enjoy it while it’s there, embrace it.” And she’s doing just that. “Every change I’ve made has been from the heart. I’m thankful to be where I am. Life feels good.”

Watch behind the scenes at Delta Goodrem’s first Vogue Australia cover shoot. The issue goes on sale Wed June 6.

Vogue Australia today revealed the cover star of its July issue, Australian sweetheart, Delta Goodrem. The subject of much press, and a paparazzo’s dream, Vogue Australia reveals Goodrem in a light never before seen, a true Vogue girl.

Delta Goodrem is one of Australia’s most successful recording artists ever. She has fought for her life and won. But the rebirth of Delta Goodrem is only just getting started and as the cover girl of their July issue, Vogue Australia challenges anyone to deny Delta the credibility and praise she deserves. The subject of at times vicious insults, Vogue Australia wanted everyone to see Delta for the natural beauty she is (and that’s not even starting on her talent).

Vogue Australia Features Director, Alexandra Spring, says: “Ever since an 18-year-old Goodrem burst onto the music scene in 2003 with the heartfelt Born to Try, Goodrem has had the unerring ability to connect with her audience with her unflinching honesty”. 10 years after her first number one, Goodrem is experiencing a renaissance, thanks partly to her coaching role on the Nine Network’s The Voice. Spring continues:

“It would be fair to say that viewers are seeing a different side to Our Delta. We wanted to show her a little more raw and sensual; to let he natural beauty shine through. Gone is the shy, demure teen, behold a feistier and unashamedly ambitious Goodrem, who wants to win”.

Goodrem tells Vogue Australia, “My whole life, I did believe that anything is possible … I’m very calm but when it comes time to play and perform, it’s a different energy”. No one could possibly deny Goodrem the fact she is determined, adamant to be a good role model with a positive message. Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 18, Goodrem tells Vogue Australia that “you look at the world differently, you get very dark colours and nothing can stay the same after that”. Having since been given a clean bill of health, adds, “I’m thankful for the depth it’s given me, the different perspectives”.

When asked about relationships and in particular her seven year relationship with Brian McFadden, which ended in April 2011, Goodrem admits, “There is so much I’d like to say. I was really unhappy and I didn’t know how to get out. I learnt. I got there in the end”; And of her short affair with the youngest Jonas brother, Nick? Goodrem admits a case of rebounding from one extreme to another. “But I only have good things to say about Nick” she adds.

The contagious positivity that Goodrem radiates when looking back on any number of experiences of her life is inspiring and unfailing, and what Vogue Australia has aptly labelled in their July issue as the Delta Force.

The July issue of Vogue Australia is on sale Wednesday 6 June.

Love her or loathe her, there’s no denying Delta Goodrem is hot right now. She’s a coach on the wildly popular Channel Nine show “The Voice”. And she’s got yet another hit in the charts. She’s already had eight number one singles since breaking into the music business at the age of fifteen. No doubt, Delta’s enormously talented but it’s her tumultuous love life that grabs the lion’s share of the attention. There have been the bad boy lovers, the cheats, even the recent teenage boyfriend, all the stuff that’s normally ruled off limits in interviews. But when we sat down together recently, Delta announced “anything goes”. And she actually meant it.

Vogue Australia – July

Nicole Bentley for Vogue

Delta quickly caught up with ACA reporter Chris Urquhart to chat about her new single ‘Dancing With A Broken Heart‘, The Voice, criticism and more. Check out the interview below.

Delta Goodrem was on the Fifi and Jules show this afternoon co-hosting with Jules and Byron while Jules is away. Delta talked about various topics from her new single ‘Dancing With A Broken Heart’ to Justin Bieber. Listen below.

In a new interview with Cameron Adams, we learn that Delta’s new album will be called ‘Child Of The Universe.’ Confirmed tracks include When My Stars Come Out, Touch, Safe to Believe (written with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas), I’m Not Ready, Dancing With a Broken Heart, Wish You Were Here and of course Sitting On Top Of The World. Check out the interview below.

DELTA Goodrem knows the media aren't just there for the good times. Since her split with ex-fiance Brian McFadden, lurid speculation about what went wrong made headlines.

"People don’t know what went on," Goodrem, 27, says.

"They only know at surface level."

This is something neither plan to change – both signed confidentiality clauses when they split in April last year after seven years together.

But Goodrem, who has long claimed her music is where she’s most honest, seemingly dropped hints on new single Dancing With a Broken Heart.

Lyrics about pain, burying the past and liars are dark compared with Goodrem’s usual "love and light" motto.

"It wasn’t a light chapter by any means," Goodrem says before reverting to her default setting – positivity.

"At the same time I get great strength from that song. It’s about standing in truth and rising above any situation. Even though it hurts, you just keep moving on and dancing."

Goodrem has made deflection an art form. She’s aware people think the song is her statement on McFadden. She wants you to be the judge.

"As you grow up different changes happen, betrayals happen. It’s not specifically about one thing, it’s about many different relationships of friends, work, anything … when people disappoint you have to rise above with dignity.

"It’s been new experiences over the past years, and I’m writing about them because I’ve not had them before.

"I’m trying to deal with everything in the best way I know how, which is expression through song."

Pressed, Goodrem says she’s in a good place with McFadden, who marries Irish DJ Vogue Williams in Europe next month.

"I only wish him the best. There’s nothing more to talk about when it comes to that chapter. It’s in the past. Everything happens for a reason, I really believe that. Keep your head high and be dignified. Right now it’s the time of my life."

After being highly public with McFadden, Goodrem is playing the "just friends" card with rumoured new beau Darren McMullen.

On-set gossip suggested their relationship blossomed on The Voice (she was a mentor, he the host) and they’ve been photographed together in LA and reunited this week in London.

"He’s a really close friend of mine," Goodrem says of McMullen. "I didn’t realise I had to announce anything officially when I spend time with somebody, but I really enjoy his company. But we’re friends. Just friends. I’ve learnt from my past relationships I’d like to keep things to myself. I’m learning as I go."

Goodrem admits she knows paparazzi are following her and McMullen, with a bounty on pictorial proof they are more than friends.

"Things go in waves. I’ve become more comfortable with it and accepted it.

"That’s what I love about getting older. It takes a while to understand the psychology, but now you think ‘OK, it is what it is’ and keep walking."

It’s the philosophy she used to grow an instant thick skin during The Voice.

Goodrem’s positive personality has long rubbed some people the wrong way – these days the haters now have a public forum in Twitter.

"These things pass," Goodrem says of being slammed weekly on social media. "In that moment it was like a storm. I’m my own harshest critic. No one else needs to tell me if I’m not doing a good job. I had to revert to that in my quiet moments. Could I do this better? I’m proud of what I did on that show, but there’s always room for improvement.

"Hopefully by the end people saw I have a lot to share. And I feel they did, the Australian public were beautiful with me, it was just a small percentage (of haters)."

Goodrem is about to return to her day job – releasing music. She is putting the finishing touches on her fourth album (and first since 2007), Child Of the Universe.

Music producer Steve Booker (Duffy, Rebecca Ferguson) is finishing When My Stars Come Out this week. Other titles include Touch ("that’s such an important song"), Safe to Believe (written with ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas), I’m Not Ready, Dancing With a Broken Heart ("we were going for Robyn meets Kate Bush") and the deeply personal Wish You Were Here, written about the death of a close friend.

She has taken a "cannot live without this song" approach to the album’s growing track list, noting "any song on this record could be a single and I’d be proud".

Goodrem says her fans have been extremely patient – sending messages of support.

"I’ve obviously had to go through a very personal couple of years where I’ve obviously needed time. Maybe I’ve taken a second to be ready still. But I needed that time and the fans understood that.

"Sometimes my fans know me better than I know myself. I’m not going to be too hard on myself if I needed time."

She’ll play launches to coincide with the album’s release in October, with a full tour planned mid-2013.

"Now that life has things in the right place," she says, "I hope I can consistently bring out music for my fans."

 

– HEAR Dancing With a Broken Heart (Sony) out next Friday.
