I Was Born To Try Review ofInnocent Eyes - Delta Goodremby
RazzaLazza
Advantages: The music is beautiful, the vocal talent of Delta Goodrem truly is exceptional. Disadvantages: I fail to think of any.
As a huge fan of the Australian soap Neighbours I always tend to buy albums when stars of the show release them. Sometimes the albums are strong, other times the music is disastrous and I end up wishing that I really hadn't bothered. In the case of Delta Goodrem I had already heard her perform one of the tracks from this album several times on Neighbours, I was greatly looking forward to giving this album a listen and was actually really quite excited ...

Advantages: Heartfelt and calming. Disadvantages: None
Delta Goodrem's Innocent Eyes album is fantastic. This is her first album and she released this in 2003. This album is full of ballads and is fantastic for the soppy hearted!!
"Doing everything that I believe in"
Born To Try is Delta's debut single and is written by Delta. This song is an upbeat ballad and is about the trials in life - they get you down and they also lift you up. Delta will not give in to the trials that get her down. Delta ...

Advantages: Beautifully crafted songs, with a great voice Disadvantages: The backing instruments occasionally overshadow the vocals
British pop history is littered with the failed careers of Australian soap stars. Of them all, only Kylie Minogue has really shown any longevity, thanks largely to her Madonna-esque reinventions. Jason Donovan fell in with the wrong crowd and didn’t really go anywhere once his associations with Kylie and Stock-Aitken-Waterman were over, although his reappearance on the London stage suggests he can sing a little. Dannii Minogue suffered from being ...

Advantages: Great songs, great lyrics Disadvantages: none
...a fault with this song.
2) Innocent eyes (3.53)
“ Do you remember, when you were 7, and the only thing that you wanted to do, was show your mum that you could play the piano.”
This is about Delta in her younger years through to her teens, trying to impress her parents with her piano playing. This is about her been an innocent child, that is not afraid to have dreams of making something of her life, and no matter how much fun is made out of ...

Advantages: great voice, talented, uprising star Disadvantages: needs to grow more in her writing, few unoriginal songs
...obviously a hit for Delta.
Innocent Eyes
The title track, it is a very unique song about Delta’s life when she was younger and still hopes to stay innocent. Again she has amazing voice in this and a very unique pop sound here. It almost has a jazz sound to it and again Delta proves that she is an amazing songwriter, it has very powerful lyrics in this song.
Not Me, Not I
Here’s a collaboration with Gary Barlow, ...

2. INNOCENT EYES
"Don't let me see mistakes and lies, let me keep my faith and innocent eyes".
This is one of the most memorable and unique tracks on the album. It appears to be a diary of sorts - with the lyrics describing Delta's childhood and teenage years - from playing the piano at the age of seven, to the doubts cast on her dreams at the age of fifteen.
The lyrics are very catchy - annoyingly so, ...

Born To Be A Star Review ofInnocent Eyes - Delta Goodremby
Grami_Way
Advantages: Beautifully written and performed songs Disadvantages: The lack of uptempo tracks might put some people off
Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Valance, Stephanie Mcintosh...
Neighbours is well known for spewing out popstars by the bucketload but Delta Goodrem is in a whole new league to all that have come before her. Like many people in the UK I first noticed her during an episode of the soap opera. She was performing the single "Born To Try" and I was shocked a few weeks later when I found out that the single had been released here ...

Advantages: Great album when your in a soppy mood Disadvantages: Only love songs - most songs ballads.
...be in my top 5.
2. Innocent Eyes - This song is what I would class as an up-tempo ballad. Yeh, I know!!! Another great song (by the way, i'll keep saying that about the songs on this album. Talks slightly about her childhood and music at a young age. Wouldn't be in my top 5 but still a good song.
3. Not me, not I - Another ballad!! But your not bored of them yet. She seems to do something special in her songs to keep you listening. Classed as ...

Advantages: Brilliant voice, songs we can all relate to, quite catchy too! Disadvantages: All songs sound similar, little variation.
Following in the footsteps of many members of the previous cast of Erinsborough, including the very successful Kylie and the perhaps not so successful Holly Valance, this is yet another package to come from the famous Australian soap. However Delta Goodrem is fresh faced with a fresh and innovative sound.
Unlike many of today’s pop stars she co-wrote many of the songs on the album and has been shown for her musical ability (playing the piano on ...

Delta Goodrem- Innocent Eyes
Her best album. A good mix of her own composition and songwriting with Vince Pizzinga and Sony/ATV Music Publishing.
If you are an avid fan of Neighbours you will recognise some of the tracks that her character Nina sang on the show.
The voice of Delta Goodrem can be described as a songbird, her individual talent shines through especially on the piano, which she plays herself and composes from. There is no doubting ...

Advantages: Very listenable pop that doesn't bleed your ears. Disadvantages: You're in to full-on pop.
...pieces can be heard like Innocent Eyes, Not Me Not I, Will You Fall For Me. If you love the calming and emotional mood piano music takes you to, these are the tracks for you.
Well, enough of the slowies, Delta is also versatile in mid-tempo tracks such as Throw It Away, My Big Mistake and the rockier slightly jazz influenced, Predictable.
And well, you can't forget the beautiful ballad, Butterfly, which are the favourite of many Delta Goodrem's ...
