Simply Amazing

I first heard of Delta Goodrem's Album 'Innocent Eyes' and 'Mistaken Identity' about two years ago, and I still can't stop listening to them. One of the first things I heard about Delta was that she fought and won her battle with cancer. Not doing much research, I assumed it to be true with a few of her titles in her albums. All of her songs have tone of true emotion, letting us feel as she does. It is a shame that she doesn't have much of a fan base here in the US. I'm willing to pay the extra for her import.

Limited US exposure

I first heard her music as part of the TV show "Amazing Race 7 final promo". They used "Lost Without You" I enjoyed the song and was surprized she wasn't available in the US except through import. Innocent eyes is an excellent album and Delta is a great talent. I think she will take America by storm with the proper exposure. October 11, 2006

Deltas 'Innocent Eyes'.....

Delta's sweet first album definately is innocent, and through her eyes, every thing on this album is real...lets look at it track by track:

1. Born To Try: The Inspring song that most people know, and definately a good song to get you going no matter who or who you are, will inspire you...

2. Innocent Eyes: A great song about Keeping and Wanting that innocent and having that excited approach to EVERYTHING, the piano solo in the middle is real fave for me, its talking about he growing up and showing her talent to everyone, definately beautiful FUN song!! (Kind of like Sweet Sixteen by Hilary Duff)

3. Not Me, Not I: The first real heart-break track on this CD, addictive like its nobodys besiness and it has a edge to it that emotionally presses all the buttons, the middle part again has this really broken feeling, she sings her heart out on this track!!

4. Throw It Away: The first Real True Poppy almost Country track on the album, its a first love for me, its got its own sound yet it appeals to everyone, its a vengeful track and a natural progression for Not Me...

5. Lost Without You: The SONG That Made Me A Fan, the video rocks its a classic love-lost song, but can relate to everything, the lyrics a top notch and it has a magic classic sound, her voice shines on this version, the intro also carries itself, its just a CLASSIC!!

6. Predictable: this is a Rocky Delta, taking over now, this could've fit on Mastaken Identity. it has the same magical thing that Throw It Away has, is a fun strong down to earth, beautiful track and a natural progression to the next track..

7. Butterfly: Beautiful Piano, Beautiful Vocals, The intro again wins you over, it has an innocent to it that Innocent eyes doesn't have, it is a love song, similar to Will You Fall For Me, a classic, has a real sweetness to it!

8. In My Own Time: This a ballad about growing up, simple music, inspiring, simple piano and Delta arrangment, a natural progression, it definately can be played when your feeling down,
'In My Own Time I'll Take A Chance In My Own Time I'll Find Romance' is the major idea of the song, i just feel for it more, Relatable to anyone!!

9. My Big Mistake: This song like Predictable could fit on either album and has a fun element to it, dispite the fact its about love-lost and though it doesn't say it why (Cheating), its a pleading song, its definately upbeat in comparison with other tracks on here!!

10. This Is Not Me: This song is similar to In My Own Time but its more faster and it talks about being confused about who you are and not feeling right and not listening to yourself vaguely simple arrangment, her vocals on this track is sweet and soft, and feel natural!

11. Running Away: This song fits on Mastaken Identity too, its this albums answer to Disiorientated, about running away to figure yourself out and find what you want and dreaming about being free, really chaotic in this context of the album, but its definately calm to a degree....

12. A Year Ago Today: This track is a sweet song about losing someone and on the annversary looking back and thinking about that (Extraordinary) day. sweet song, really down to earth..

13. Longer: Fun track, one of the most poppy tracks on this album, has its own idea, its not a stick-out but again it has its memorable momants...the piano intro fits the song in context alot too!!

14. Will You Fall For Me: This is a classic love song, most people will relate to it and it it really beautiful to me, its about a crush, and wondering Will You Fall For Me?? beautiful simple In My Own Time kind of production, really worth it in end and a final beautiful finish to this album!!

Innocent Eyes is a great album that desearves a place in all CD collections cause it has its own sound and will fit anyone CD Collection and it is great for you, any way don't you want the original Delta album!!

Love,
Katy

Just so beautiful...Every Pop Fan should have this!

What a beautiful, heartfelt, emotional touching debut album, from such a sweet talented singer who could become the OZ Celine Dion and more - Delta easily leaves Kylie & Co behind, and is no Britney sorry - As Delta without needing to take the clothes of like Brit, can sing, and Britney not. This Album should be on every Pop Fan shelves - She is hot, and dont let the "Neighbours" Tag fool you, she got professional Classical Music and Singing background, where untalented wanabes like Britney/Jessica Simpson have not, and she writes her own songs, many dont. So please if you've not already got it, buy it now...This so talented GIRL is so good...I seen her at a concert, she just rocks one of the best concert I've seen, and Delta pulls it off no sweat! (Minus that jucky Brian stuff obviously) ...SO please Buy this Album Innocent Eyes now, you cant go wrong! :) January 18, 2006

Up-Beat, Emotional, Overall An Amazing Debut.

Delta Goodrem first made an impact on Australia when she appeared in a soap opera called Neighbours. Since then she has become the biggest pop star since Kylie Minogue. She has even surpassed old chart records that Kylie held and this album shows off her voice and writing talent. So why is it so good?

1. Born To Try: The lead single cemented her as an artist to watch. The song was huge in the UK and raced into the top 3. This song is a great opener to this album and shows off her superb vocal range. The song really gets caught in your head.

2. Innocent Eyes: Another single and hit but what makes this song is the reflection on her childhood. The song is rather poetic which is basically also shown throughout the whole album. The way she interprets the song is great and the chorus is really catchy.

3. Not Me, Not I: A ballad with punch. This song shows off Delta on the whole. If you could judge her based on one song, this song would be it. The title is really good.

4. Throw It Away: In my opinion this should have be released as a single rather than Lost Without You. This is the first guitar orientated song on the album and provides a good balance.

5. Lost Without You: The worst single released from this album, however it is a great song and has a wicked drum beat that works well with the piano. In this song she admits that she was wrong and realizes her mistake. Overall a superb song.

6. Predictable: One of the best songs on this album, never released with a proper video. The video has Delta live in concert. Really quite angsty and rock orientated sounds coming through on this track.

7. Butterfly: This is a rather sympathetic song and though it isn't that strong it has a rather nice chorus. Good vocals.

8. In My Own Time: This track is a spectacular ballad with lots of emotion. You may think that this album may be boring with all the ballads however it really isn't. The song sounds a bit country-ish.

9. My Big Mistake: My Big Mistake sounds like it could've come off her sophomore album Mistaken Identity. The song is really fast though not crazily fast. Just fast compared to the other songs.

10. This Is Not Me: Again Delta proves that she can write great songs and you just have to listen to this song to really love it.

11. Running Away: This song has alot of programming at the start and is about running away. The chorus is the best on the album.

12. A Year Ago Today: This track is a bit slow and boring and sounds a little like Will You Fall For Me but it's okay I guess.

13. Longer: Has a great motif at the start with strings and is the last up-beat song on the album before the closing song. I really like this song for reasons I don't know. The lyrics are good.

14. Will You Fall For Me: It is a really good song until the chorus which isn't as good as the verses. This song means alot to me and I can relate with some of the songs. Nice close.

Innocent Eyes is a stunning piece of work, while not as good as her sophomore it sure is really amazing. This album shows why it sold 1 million copies worldwide and hopefully will show her off to the world. This is a gripping debut that will astound you.
