Delta Goodrem Reveals Her Eurovision Dreams

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Delta Goodrem, the Australian singer-songwriter, sat down with our Jack backstage at the Hackney Empire in East London, where she revealed her fascination with the Eurovision Song Contest. With a string of Top Ten hits and worldwide sell-out concerts under her belt, Delta says there is still one big thing to tick off her bucket list: competing in Eurovision. She expressed her admiration for the contest's creativity, talent, and emotional depth, stating, "I'm obsessed. I loved SCOTT MILLS and RYLAN's commentary."

Delta's UK shows have celebrated her 2004 record, Mistaken Identity, which spawned two UK Top Tens: Out Of The Blue and Almost Here. The latter saw her perform the album in full with pal CALUM SCOTT on stage. She praised Calum's beautiful voice and their long-standing friendship.

While Delta feels Eurovision-ready, she joked that she won't be singing at her own wedding to musician Matthew Copley this summer, sharing a funny anecdote about recording a song for her brother's wedding.

Delta and Matthew tour the world together, with him playing guitar in her band on stage. Despite the criticism that you should never work with your partner, Delta insists, "It's super-exciting. You get to live and breathe it together and you get to travel together."

Delta's UK shows are special due to the warm atmosphere and her love for British snacks, particularly Hobnobs biscuits. She appreciates the convenience of public transportation in London, saying, "I like that you can get a train everywhere."
