Delta Goodrem - Believe Again Tour Review

Sorry for lack of updates- had a blonde moment (well my brother did) and we went over the download limit for the month, which of course made the net seriously slow and made me utterly frustrated. As a result, I haven't had a chance to get around to writing a review/posting one.

DELTA GOODREM - BELIEVE AGAIN TOUR
Well I checked out the concert here in Melbourne a couple of weeks back and have to admit I was far more impressed with it than what I was expecting, considering the venue held like 5 people. Had fab seats, 5 rows from the front, right in the middle, couldn't get much better than that.

I do have to vent though, Delta fans utterly shit me, they're just so... I don't know... scary perhaps? freaks? morons? stalkers? Especially the fans off the Delta forum who seem to think that they're all BFF's with Delta, when in actual fact they're not. She should really tell some of them to piss off, otherwise I'm tempted to smack some of them in the face on Delta's behalf- especially that annoying bitch Tammy, who came down to the front during the interval looking for spare floor seats. Fuck off seriously and stop stalking Delta around the country. No one gives a shit that you're from Alice Springs or you have 497207 photos with Delta and that she knows your name. I don't need to see you strutting around like you're top shit either. That goes for all the freaks who swarmed Delta when she decided to come into the crowd. You don't ask Delta for photos in the middle of the song, don't pull out random things to be signed and don't start throwing yourselves at Delta and try and engage in conversation with her. OH! and for the love of god, don't come running down to the front to push in front!

OK... I think I have that rant out of my system.

First and foremost, I do think the smaller, intimate setting suited Delta a hell of a lot more than the arena, and for that I enjoyed this tour more than the 2005 "Visulise Tour"

The setlist as follows:

Believe Again
Innocent Eyes
In This Life
I Can't Break It To My Heart



Not Me, Not I
Out Of The Blue
Brave Face (which Delta didn't even really sing- see above comments about being mobbed by deluded fans)
Mistaken Identity
You Will Only Break My Heart/Billie Jean (yes a Michael Jackson cover, just the dance though, no singing)




**INTERMISSION**

Born To Try (featuring Delta on guitar)
Butterfly
That's Freedom (John Farnham cover)
Running Away



Queen of the Night (Whitney Houston cover)
Sweet Dreams (Eurithmics cover)
Predictable
Do You Love Me? (Contours cover, duet with Brian McFadden)
Almost Here (duet with Brian McFadden)
Together We Are One/ One Day



Lost Without You
Believe Again (reprise)



Anyway, for me the main problem seemed to be a lack of focus and direction, sure it was a great concert and everything, but it felt like she was trying to do to much, cover too many bases and as a result it ended up in a hot mess. Queen of the Night and the Sweet Dreams/Predictable mashup was the definate highlight for me, not to mention the hilarious and craptastic dance breakdown during 'You Will Only Break My Heart', complete with the fabulous S2S as backup dancers/backing singers, which the videos I took on the night show:

I finally got my pic with a slutified Delta

YAY! I love me some Delta, I make no secret of it, but I've been seriously getting annoyed that I haven't gotten a pic with Delta since the release of the latest album, with her all new sex-kitten look.

Delta Goodrem announces Australian Tour!

About time too, I may add, however, it seems the dates have been pushed back as earlier in the year she said she'd be touring Australia in November but now we have to wait until January next year to see her live.

HMPH.

Still, better late than never. At least I got to check out her "A Night With Delta" gig back in March, so I've had my yearly dose of live Delta.

Concert dates for Delta Goodrem's 2009 Believe Again tour are:

January 9 - Civic Theatre, Newcastle

January 12 and 13 - State Theatre, Sydney

January 16 and 17 - Hamer Hall, Melbourne

January 24 - Royal Theatre, Canberra

January 27 - Convention Centre, Brisbane

January 30 - Adelaide Entertainment Centre

February 3 - Perth Kings Park



Tickets go on sale August 21st

Delta's bizarre sign of affection

It brings new meaning to a Love Spat, but Delta Goodrem and Brian McFadden revealed on Austereo this morning that they spit in each other’s faces as a sign of affection.
I’ll let that sink in for moment.

What started as a call-in segment about whether it is ever appropriate to spit in the street, ended shattering the wholesome image of Our Delta.

As the Adelaide morning crew merrily chatted and took calls about how gross public spitting is, guest Brian McFadden offered up his own story.

When he and Delta were courting and driving through Europe, they had a spitting game.

Delta would start it by casually lobbing a small load of spittle on Brian’s face. He’d return fire and the game would escalate until they were covered in phlegm.

“It was a sign of affection,” he told listeners.

Obviously someone in the morning crew thought this was just too far out, so they called Delta.

Yup, she giggled and confirmed the story. Oh the laughs. It was their very own quirky way of showing affection to one another.

Hear the audio of Delta and Brian talking about their affectionate gobbing at each other. (Biggest Loser fans note the familiar lisp of Cosi.)

Sure they still had the ‘sweetie’ and ‘darling’ and ‘honey’ and were laying it on during the phone exchange, but nothing topped the beatific image of Our Delta with a face full of gob.

Maybe I’m a bit squeamish. I shudder when I see people sucking each others face in public. A kiss is fine, sure, but when I see a couple on a train working their tongues, I just feel a bit Sunday Morning.

Then again, I don’t like hearing people’s little terms of endearment either. A colleague of mine broke off his engagement when his fiancé persisted with the schnookums and constant name rhyming in a baby voice. He went up in my estimation after that.

I’ll leave the question of whether Delta and Brian’s sign of affection has merit, but also seek any other revolting signs of affection between couples that makes you want to hose them.
