Hype

Let the hype begin!  Delta has returned to her home country of Australia, and bringing lots of news that we have been waiting to hear for some time.  But now the speculation is over about her and the ARIA Awards, her album, her thoughts about Nick Jonas, and the speculation, because she talks about about it in an article with the Herald Sun. 

First, and the biggest news in my opinion:  Delta says that album is FINISHED!  Thank you Jesus!  We have been waiting for this announcement all year, and finally it has come just before the end of 2011.  She says, "The album is finished, so I look forward to releasing new music right out of the gate next year," she said. "I'm feeling a lot of support overseas, so I'm looking forward to bringing that out around the world. I can't wait to share the new music."  That all makes sense, considering she gained some new fans with her popular performances on Dancing with the Stars earlier this year, and also her performances with Michael Bolton and their duet "I'm Not Ready."

Her love, Nick Jonas, was also mentioned in the article, with her saying that "I'm really lucky to have such a wonderful person in my life. I'm in a really happy place right now. I feel very blessed," despite the frowned upon age difference.  Nick was also brought up when it came to her music, saying, "We've written lots of songs together...I'm proud to be writing with him."

Rumors have also circulated that Delta would be performing at the ARIA Awards and accepted a position as a judge on the Australian version of the hit show "The Voice."  When asked about the ARIA Awards, she said she was uncertain that she would actually be performing, but,"There are lots of possibilities, I'm just excited to be back for the 25th anniversary of the ARIAs and to celebrate Australian artists."  And concerning rumors about the show, "I'm a fan of the show and we have been talking but nothing is confirmed."

And while she says she isn't sure about performing at the ARIAs, another article actually confirmed that Delta would be performing a new song at the show, saying, "Goodrem, who was last year named artist of the decade at the Arias with Guy Sebastian, will be performing a new song at the show."  Hopefully we will find out more about this soon!

Delta brought back some old memories and reminded Australia how talented she is by performing at the President's Cup Gala Dinner where she sang "In This Life", "Natural Woman", "The Prayer" and "Born To Try", which seemed to get the likes of Tiger Woods excited!  As for the news that the album is finished, many fans are excited, creating hype that I expected to happen as soon as news was confirmed.  Some fans were saying, "ALBUM IS FINISHED! So friggin exciting...Oh next year....oh well makes sense! 47 days til 2012!! BRING IT ON!!...and OMG - can you imagine a single in January?"

So, now that we have offical news of a incoming release, when do you think any music will be released?  Do you think that the new single will be one of the titles that have come out written by Delta over the year?  Do you think she will perform at the ARIA Awards?  And do you think that she will join "The Voice?"  Post your thoughts and join the discussion on Delta Daily here.
