Australia 2026: Delta Goodrem - Eclipse

[VoR]

No confirmation yet, but the annual Delta Goodrem rumour seems to be gathering more pace than usual…

 

[ButterTart]

She had her chance with Hearts on the Run. I won’t have her turning up with an inevitably far shitter song.

 

[Pingu]

She did say last summer that she’d love to do it, and even that co-writers and producers had been talking to her about ideas, so there is clearly appetite there on her part.

But that was last summer.

 

[auretz]

Is Woman’s Day generally recognised as a cast iron source?

 

[auretz]

 

[Soldi]

They care that much they’re announcing in the evening time in EUROPE

 

[lolly]

 

[Pingu]

I can't remember a single time a broadcaster has done one of those teaser videos and the song has turned out good.

 

[D5K]

I can't remember a single time a broadcaster has done one of those teaser videos and the song has turned out good.

That’s because it’s usually the BBC.

 

[VoR]

It's Delta:

 

[ButterTart]

Best thing they've sent in TIME

Although if she was planning to do it anyway, why didn't she go with Hearts on the Run?

 

[Pingu]

Is it just me or is this exactly what Sanna should have come back with?

 

[GNL]

She's going to paint the stage beige

 

[auretz]

It’s fine but the chorus isn’t as strong as it should be. Hearts On The Run or Wings would’ve been so much better the juries should boost it though

 

[Soldi]

Yes Australia!

 

[VoR]

How reliable is she as a live vocalist these days?

 

[VoR]

Is it just me or is this exactly what Sanna should have come back with?

Love Wasted Love, but Sanna's comeback very much feels like a "Just give me one last hit of the crack pipe and I swear I'll go back to rehab tomorrow" sort of affair.

This feels much more "Game face".

 

[Pingu]

How reliable is she as a live vocalist these days?

Absolutely fantastic. Better than she ever was 20 years ago.

 

[Tisch]

It's GOOD. I hope she gets up from the piano and boogies around a bit when it's climaxing.

It's giving Molly Children of the Universe but better

 

[Iguana]

OMG!

Instant favourite!

It's going to be an incredible live performance

 

[ButterTart]

I've no worries about the vocals - the woman has entered ASFM almost seventy times, competition's in her blood.

 

[Iguana]

I saw her live last year and her vocals were PERFECTION

 

[VoR]

Co-written by Ferras AlQaisi, who also wrote Hera Björk's Scared of Heights.

 

[Soldi]

Her odds are already shortening.

 

[ButterTart]

Co-written by Ferras AlQaisi, who also slightly rewrote James Newman's Embers and called it Scared of Heights.

FTFY

 

[Iguana]

Her absolute hero is Olivia Newton-John so this shouldn't have been a SURPRISE!

 

[ILL ADVISED]

How reliable is she as a live vocalist these days?

My highlight for any hoopla

 

[Jark]

I feel this has all the ingredients but the chorus is not memorable or catchy. for now it's a 7. obv she has to go in as a big fave on the basis of being a star who can sell the shit out of this vocally.

 

[Suomi]

Makes everything else look PATHETIC!

So obviously the winner

 

[Iguana]

My only fear is that this is going to either be the opener or closer.

All my life for a night like this

 

[Finn]

I like it on first listen. A definite upgrade on the Milkshake Man

 

[ButterTart]

I like it on first listen. A definite upgrade on the Milkshake Man

Oh God, everything about that was MORTIFYING.

 

[Agneeta]

Oh this is going to do VERY WELL.

 

[lolly]

I don't even like her that much, but that's GREAT

 

[lolly]

Also, lovely bangles

 

[Soldi]

 

[VoR]

I don’t really think this is televote friendly enough to seriously contend for the win, but if the juries did want to stack the deck to block Israel again, an Australia win gives them options…

*adjusts tinfoil hat*

 

[Soldi]

I don’t know, I think the GAYS and MUMS will vote for it.

 

[VoR]

Me desperately manifesting a Scared of Heights qualification down to the bitter end:

I don’t know, I think the GAYS and MUMS will vote for it.

 

[lolly]

I think it's pretty instant and gives a fair bit to hold on to on first listen.

Does Australia have a pattern of doing significantly better with either juries or the public?
