Delta Goodrem: Looks for American stardom

Delta Goodrem: Looks for American stardom

Australian pop star and soap actress Delta Goodrem, who is already famous in Australia, is now trying to become successful in America.

While many stars have failed to match their international success in the United States, the 23 year old Delta Goodrem has released her U.S. debut album "Delta" on Tuesday.

She is following the footsteps of her role model and fellow Australian Olivia Newton-John.

Delta Goodrem said in an interview, "Olivia's been an incredible guiding light with me. She's always given me really great advice. She's beautiful and we have a beautiful friendship".

Her latest album, Delta, has scored only a handful of US reviews, but she has found a friend in celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, who said that her first single "In This Life" was "deelish".

Billboard's Chuck Taylor wrote: "With successes from Leona Lewis, Katy Perry and Natasha Bedingfield proving that the public hungers for quality female pop, timing is a bull's-eye for Goodrem's deliciously tasteful U.S. bid".

Delta Goodrem has performed a duet "Right Here With You" with Newton-John at Los Angeles Gay Pride celebrations in June.

"Delta" is her third studio album and U.S. debut. It was released in Australia last year, hitting No. 1. She described the album as having a "theme of letting go, of moving forward, of believing again in this life".

Delta Goodrem's fiance Brian McFadden, who is an Irish singer has also wrote half of the songs on "Delta".
