Delta Goodrem Board
Ten Year Anniversary



"I love performing. I do this so I can get up and sing for people. Its a big world and there's
so much to work for. I do have a lot of goals. I want to take my music to people
and tell my story, perhaps one day be singing at the Grammys and the Brits and the
ARIAs. Just world domination, I'm not asking for much. Its just the beginning."


Testimonials

Ten amazing years which I can't say I've been a part of but of the at least three I have been a part of I've felt the love here. This board is an amazing place & one of the only places I know of where you can discuss Delta. I love that this place is here, that it is still around, & hope it continues to be for many more years. It is amazing. Everyone here is amazing. There is a lot of hate out there & I love that we don't find that here, that we can be honest about our opinions of things without being judged. Most importantly I love all of the posters & moderators who came before me who kept & keep the board alive. Thank you for everything! - Chelle (speedoflifexx)

10 years, such an incredible achievement. I'm very proud of us for keeping this board around for so long, it hasn't always been easy but it's definitely been worth it. I still love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere on the board, and am grateful for the friends I've made here. I'm looking forward to the release of Delta's upcoming fifth album and discussing it with you all. Here's to many more celebrations! - Ingrid (Love Unexpected)

This board and this milestone gives me hope, and when I let it so does Delta's music . Congratulations on ten years and I look forward to seeing this board still around for many more! - hauntedღskies (Aurora)

their lyrics and understand where they’re coming from. I know my fans do, they do
read into all of that and they know me, better than I know myself sometimes."

Favourites

Favourite Delta song and why: Right now I'll go with Not Me, Not I & either Safe to Believe or The Speed of Life. Not Me, Not I is just amazing. The heart, the lyrics, the music... everything about it. I love the music video too. Then when COTU was released there were a few songs which stood out to me that I loved but Safe to Believe & The Speed of Life spoke to me as they described how I felt in that moment

Favourite Delta memory: Right now all that is coming to mind is her rereleasing Innocent Eyes & the videos (especially the making of one) that went with it. It was such a wonderful treat for the fans. I'd also say the ARIAs that Ingrid went with too.

Favourite memory about the board: It is a tie for me; either when COTU was first released or when IE was rereleased. I just love the excitement & atmosphere of the board when we get new music I think.

Favourite Delta song and why: It changes, but Not Me, Not I will always be one of my favourite Delta songs. It was released over a decade ago, yet I still love it as much as I did when I first heard it. The lyrics, Delta's vocals and the music video are all perfect The song's so easy to relate to, and it's just really good in general.

Favourite Delta memory: There's so many, from her tours, from interviews.. I wouldn't know where to start. One of my favourite memories though, is when Delta attended the ARIA awards in 2003. She was so brave for attending the show despite not feeling well, then winning 7 awards in one night is amazing and I still love her speech.

Favourite memory about the board: My favourite memory about the board is when Delta's fourth album, Child of the Universe, was released. When I joined Fan Forum, it was in the middle of Delta's 5 year break before releasing new music, so when she finally did, I loved being able to experience that with other people.

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.’"
