#91578 WYWH makes APRA Song of the Year shortlist

Posted by DeltaGirl on 18 April 2013 - 03:41 AM

Hey, :) long time, no posting... Anyway, I don't think this article has been put up anywhere yet, so here it is and hooray for WYWH's critical acclaim :D :D APRA Releases ‘Song Of The Year’ Shortlist Written by Mike Hohnen on 12th April, 2013

APRA has today revealed the shortlist of artists and their songs currently in the running to earn Song Of The Year. Voted in by their peers and fellow APRA members, the list of 30 artists is a representation of the best and brightest from this year in music.

Several icons of Australia music royalty have made the cut this year including Kasey Chambers, Angus Stone and Guy Sebastian, but the next wave has well and truly dominated – The Rubens, Tame Impala, Stonefield and Gotye all have tracks that made it into the APRA top 30, indicating a key interest in current talent.

The shortlist isn’t without its WTF moments, however. Out of all the artists featured, Rihanna would be of most renown. Though she isn’t Australia, Sia, who wrote her hit Diamonds is, so there is still a chance that the highly coveted award could go to a foreigner.

APRA CEO Brett Cottle is rightfully proud of the shortlist:

“The Top 30 shortlist for the 2013 APRA Song of the Year Award is impressive and illustrates the breadth of talent in this country across the genre spectrum…It’s a fantastic list of songwriters that includes up-and-comers like Flume who’s now selling out stadiums, hip hop champion 360 and country music stalwarts like Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson.”

Only APRA members can vote, and from here on in they hold the power to select the ultimate winner. Any singer/songwriter can sign up for free and if you haven’t already you really should get onto it. Not only will you get paid for performing your material, you’ll also go in the chance to win a Gibson guitar, MacBook Pro and tickets to the 2013 APRA Music Awards.

#63542 A bitter note is not in Vogue - new article

Posted by DeltaGirl on 26 October 2012 - 10:52 AM

Lol
In the ninemsn article they have a gallery on Brian and have a 'download delta's album' in the advertisments of it all LOL!

EVEN BETTER BY THE MINUTE!!!


#63498 CHART WATCH: Child of the Universe

Posted by DeltaGirl on 26 October 2012 - 09:47 AM

I think thats probably why they've done another AMAZING and not a sneaky tactic at all like they did with the DWABH and WYWH singles By selling the signed cds at the concert, because assumably everyone going to the concert would want to hear the cd first, lets say 50% of the crowd is going w/ a parent/ non delta fan / lives in the same house/ etc, we can count, I think on at least 5, 000 physical copies, (considering the venues are quite small) it's rocketing up iTunes, I guess they'll have 100-200 signed cds at the concerts (they haven't made it sound 'intimate') making us buy them again - if not this week, then next week I'm sure she will get that #1 - at least I think it will debut in the top 5, but I'm expecting top 3 tbh.

Also - will her debut be on this Sundays ARIA charts, or next Sunday? If anyone knows :) thanks



--- And I don't mind park way drive, I think the guitar is really good actually, but Delta first all the way !!!!!!!


#63401 A bitter note is not in Vogue - new article

Posted by DeltaGirl on 26 October 2012 - 07:38 AM


heres the kyle and jackie o interview

thank you!!!


THANK YOU :) :) :)

And LOL!
Loved her response about nice of them to hear it hahaha :) I love this Delta :)


#63345 A bitter note is not in Vogue - new article

Posted by DeltaGirl on 26 October 2012 - 06:35 AM

All I can think is LOL she listened to the album!!!!!!!

Hahhahahaha, that's like facebook stalking your ex and accidentally 'liking'  a post :P :P hahaha

And double LOL, regarding the reality show - it's specualted that Delta felt like Brian's meal ticket - now the same producer that made Vogue a 'star' is doing this reality show of the two of them even when Brian has gone off his rocker over Kerry doing Reality TV! LOL LOL LOL!!!

All I can hear in my head is Justin Timberlake's 'what goes around comes around... etc"
LOL LOL LOL

Like I am seriously laughing SO HARD right now!

--- And I just want to say on the record, that I have never had anything against Vogue, never said a bad thing about her - never had a reason to.

- Things change, shit happens, Delta wrote I'm not ready and that is IMO a tribute to their relationship - (tributes are generally IMO written after things are long over)- And correct me if I'm wrong, but did she not perform it about a month or two after they broke up, and didn't he tweet her how good it was ' So proud of you D' ... LOL

(it's not like it's a record of 'hate songs' but FFS, no one had a problem with her saying how happy she was on the last album, again, things change, shit happens)

That is all I can say!
LOL

Like this is actually funny to me, not the Delta slamming, but the whole situation is just making me laugh. Ahhhh, go Delta, finally she's pissed someone off for somethinh other than being nice!!! (Referencing everyone who says 'no one can be that nice, she must be fake, etc'

(PS - on a side note - havent posted in a while, been a bit out of it, but am so glad to be back to thoroughly enjoy this new era w/ you all :) :) )

#45304 New Release Date!

Posted by DeltaGirl on 03 August 2012 - 11:39 PM

#44982 Article: includes Album Title & track listings!

Posted by DeltaGirl on 02 August 2012 - 04:17 PM

We probs can buy tickets to them cause the ticketek site had a thing to be on the waiting list for Delta tickets, they wouldnt have the waiting list 10months before the show, so I tihnk its going to be a purchase event.

And thats great that Ireland is getting some love, go team Delta in getting her global domination she deserves!!!!!!!11


#44923 Dancing With A Broken Heart - Second Single

Posted by DeltaGirl on 02 August 2012 - 09:44 AM

i think its a clever marketing way to get people to see delta maybe in a different light, kind of like Cher, she's done a LOT of genres really though they;'ve all been rooted in pop, she still has maintained a 'sound' while experimenting, unlike others who 'reinvent' if that makes sense.

And I think this is a way of (if this is a positive chapter but filled with emotionally hard/ sad songs) putting out the ones that will get the least back lacsh because of how much she's copped since the voice...
You know if she released a full on tear my heart out break up song first it would look like she's releasing it right before Brian's wedding (just how the tabloids like the create shit over nothing, thats what i think anyway)


#44922 Article: includes Album Title & track listings!

Posted by DeltaGirl on 02 August 2012 - 09:40 AM

So IMO COTU is more of a spiritual reference, as people often refer to the universe when talking about karma, stars aligning, cosmos, etc - just google doreen virtue and all the stuff with angels etc - its very spiritual.

I'm also pleased that Delta actually revealed so much in that interview and after pretty much loosing her whole team (did she dump them or did they leave - Jo, Dale -even Richard (WTF!?!?!?)) I really hope that this album not only sells well, but is critically cclaimed and she can be like 'yeah, F*** you, you dumb arses who screwed me over! I'm on top again and am sooooo much better off without you, couldn't have made such an album WITH you!!!!" ...........I know she wouldnt because delta is gorgeous and nice and stuff, but god I would so love to be a fly on the wall when Dale is doing Vogue's makeup with Jo watching and its announced Delta is now 'looking hotter than ever with new make up style' - (I dont have anything against vogue either BTW, its the others and the way how its all gone to shit that has me perplexed)

But I think its great that she pretty much keeps saying how shes free now and it makes me so happy to hear that she wants to do this stuff 'for the fans' - I remember meeting Delta after one of her shows when she was with Brian and he was telling her to hurry up and she was giving him the death stare.

Ahh I'm ranting and talking like I know her personally, But I'm just so excited -all this coming out of just one article!
How cool is that!

And love that she said she'll do album launcheS - not just one and that she wants the fans to come :D :D :D :
So pumped up!

And I also think its good that she's got a song in there that she wrote with Nick Jonas because it just shows that it didnt end bad enough for them to be like 'no, you cant have my song, or I wont release your song blah blah blah'....
Its just good :D :)


#44704 Article: includes Album Title & track listings!

Posted by DeltaGirl on 01 August 2012 - 07:28 PM

I refer to my friends as 'children on the universe'!!!!!!!!!
I hope this article is true, I really want to hear her solo version of I'm not ready!!!!!!!!!!1
Thanks for posting :) :)
