0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Ah, thank you so much, Sarah, thank you for having me.

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 1>As you and I are speaking, it's not too long

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>since your last triumphant moment, which was performing at the

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Of course

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>we're going to talk about Eurovision. Since we last spote, Delta,

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you've also gotten married, You've announced a new album and

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>a world tour, and you've just shot your ninth Stella cover.

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So obviously my first question is what are you doing

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>with all your spare time, Delta.

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, in my spare time, I'm normally packing

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 2>a suitcase or lifting a suitcase, or sitting at an airport.

0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's kind of been my That's been the in betweens.

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>It's a glamorous life, isn't it. I tell you one

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>PM trains.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Then automobiles, you know.

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>But but yes, it is a busy time. But I

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 2>don't take that for granted. And our feet have not

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>hit the ground at the moment. We've definitely been running,

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>but we like to make it home wherever we are,

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, no matter no matter what country or city

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>or environment.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm lucky.

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 2>I get to travel with my husband as well, and

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, when we're blessed to get to travel with

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>a couple more members of the team, because it is

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a team sport music, believe it or not, it is

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 2>a team sport. When we have the team with us together,

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, we're a small but mighty team. Doesn't make

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 2>it feel like home, and we all sort of have

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>our little nuances that make it feel like we're a

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 2>traveling you know, a traveling party.

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 3>And Matt and I.

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Sort of always you know, we bring our Apple TV,

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>we bring ace up everywhere with us. We have our

0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 2>couple of things and any room we go in, we

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 2>sort of try to make it feel like it's the same.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's an energy in the environment.

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>So you making it to the Grand final of the

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Eurovision Song Contest, I've got to tell you back home

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>here in Australia, it really did feel like the World

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Cup where people were getting up early in the morning

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>or in some cases staying up all night. What is

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.760
<v Speaker 1>it like for you to be on the receiving end

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of yes, of course that outpouring of love and support,

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>but also the pressure and the expectation that it brings

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:26.840
<v Speaker 1>with it.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, Sarah, I think at this point, with all the

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 2>different seasons of growing up with everybody, to feel that

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>love and support in that moment and feel that energy

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>from Australia, I felt it with all my heart and

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I felt it like I felt what it was, that

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.600
<v Speaker 2>like that push, that like it's as if everyone had

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 2>the Australian flag and was waving with me.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 3>And I felt it spiritually.

0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I could feel it from Vienna, even though I had

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to sort of move my phone into another room because

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>it had just been a you know, quite an experience

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 2>of electricity heading towards and I was overwhelmed with the

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>love and support and the cheer on and it felt

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>like a really aligning moment where I was ready and

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>I was like, let's go, Let's do what I love

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>to do, and in an environment that I'm excited and

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I feel comfortable to step into. And but my heart

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.359
<v Speaker 2>rate of course was up, and I was feeling the

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 2>feeling all the different the journey that goes with that.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 2>But I was really proud of, you know, sort of

0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>on the on the athletic side of it, of just keeping.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Calm and just.

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Loving the song's lyric and what that meant to me

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 2>in that moment and about timing and trusting your life's timing.

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 2>And it felt like in that moment, you know, it

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>gets me, It really hits me. Like I felt like

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>just a you could feel it on stage.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.960
<v Speaker 3>It was just a really get me straight into my

0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 3>heart's era.

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 2>I just felt it was just such a treasured moment

0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 2>that I will take with me for life. And I

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>could see out the corner of my eye when I

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>was on stage, I could see the Aussie team, you know,

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 2>my husband, everybody was like the flags were going crazy.

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 3>And I felt proud to.

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Represent Australia and to get to, you know, be my

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>full force. And do you know, I think even update

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 2>some people if this is where we're at now, this

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 2>is the woman I am today and I'm excited to

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 2>step you into a new era with me.

0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 3>And you know, it was just a really it'll be

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 3>a very treasure moment for me in my heart too.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>And I felt the get up from people that normally

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>never get up early. You know, when my brother's texting

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:45.119
<v Speaker 2>me saying, you know that the family is up early

0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>and they're watching a music show.

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Listen. They don't watch my music shows very easily and

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 3>they were very invested.

0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>And everybody was I feel like we've stepped into a

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 2>new era together everyone and I really appreciate the step

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>in and I really felt the.

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Love delta when you have something like a Grand Final

0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're hearing from everyone from your own family all

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>the way through to you know, people that you'll never

0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>have met before, all over the world. Obviously in Australia,

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>but there was also huge discovery and rediscovery of you

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>from people globally as well. Do you sleep the night

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 1>before and if so, how on earth do you manage that?

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 2>So I would say that sleep is always the number

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 2>one thing that we also I kind of go into

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>going I really really hope that I can sleep, you know,

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the night before.

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 3>That's definitely the number one thing. It's like when people talk.

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>About, you know, sports games as well, it's I think,

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, all sports people say the same thing, and

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 2>it's just like really praying and hoping that.

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 3>You get a good night's sleep the night before. In

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 3>that scenario, you.

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Know, it was fifty to fifty, you know, I was,

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 2>I was understanding that. I think at this point I

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 2>understand that sometimes I probably just won't have a great

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 2>sleep sometimes I do if I get like, if I'm.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Just that exhausted that I just you know, get to sleep.

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>But I tried my best to sort of just get

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>the rest in where you could, and I think I've

0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>sort of switched my mind to going when you even

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 2>if you're just resting and just getting some like just

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>calm and rest, that's the best you can kind of do.

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 2>And in that environment, we had to do it twice

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>on that day, and in front of audiences in the

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 2>morning as well, so we had to get up still

0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 2>a bit earlier, and the night before they'd done the

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 2>jury performance, and so it was there was a lot involved,

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>but I think that I paced myself on just trying

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:46.880
<v Speaker 2>to get those windows of rest and.

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 3>Keeping calm and watching calm things as I as I

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.360
<v Speaker 3>sort of went into it, and then firing up at

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 3>the right time.

0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 1>This is one of the many fascinating things about Eurovision,

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>is the fact that make it to the Grand Final

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you do have to replic hate the performance. I'm not

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.680
<v Speaker 1>sure how many times you had done it by the

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.320
<v Speaker 1>end of it, but it looked identical and I know

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>some people eve it in your own family have gone

0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 1>why are you not wearing something else, So how do

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you make it look identical? Delta.

0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Yes, my dad had asked me why I had done

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 2>the same performance after the Semis vinals.

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 3>It's because because the show goes so far.

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 2>And wide to such a huge audience, and they, you know,

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 2>there's such a huge production behind it. Where I mean

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.400
<v Speaker 2>leading into that, having the ninja's I call them swiping

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 2>in and sort of tying me up to the piano

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>while I'm still singing and not moving me enough so

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I can still hit my high notes. They you know,

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:48.160
<v Speaker 2>they have to they have to get each artist's.

0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, timing right.

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>They have all their marks too, so it's a team

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.079
<v Speaker 2>effort to make sure everyone hits the marks and they

0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>strike the stage at the right time. And so it

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.760
<v Speaker 2>is there's there's that of team on stage two when

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 2>it's it's going live to hundreds of millions of people,

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and it's it's also still a you know, there's there's

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 2>countries competing together. So it's it's there's a lot involved.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I actually but I enjoyed the you know,

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed that it was about telling a story through

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 2>that performance, and the movements means something to me and

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>what I felt like they were meant to represent in

0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 2>those moments of the song.

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 3>So I think that, you.

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Know, having that blessing of getting time to actually think

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 2>about the story of one song is not something we

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.680
<v Speaker 2>get a luxury of as much as performance, like going

0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.719
<v Speaker 2>into calm games, you know it.

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 3>We've been back to back to back in two.

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Weeks only in oz And and here I was thinking,

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll get a couple extra weeks in Australia and I'll.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Breathe in the Australian air and then we're back on

0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>the plane.

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 2>So I think with the Eurovision it was a real

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 2>blessing to get to have that, you know, extra moments

0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>to think about the journ of the song, the one Soul.

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to pick your brains and see what it's like,

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.480
<v Speaker 1>how you pull that off. I know that as a

0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>performer who's been on stage in so many different situations,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you've had things go wrong, things that you could never

0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>have predicted, and take it, take it in your gracious stride,

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.559
<v Speaker 1>but you know, climbing up on that piano in the

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>middle of this huge power ballad and then as you say,

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>everyone's got to get their mark and you don't miss

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a beat and then your airborne. You know I can

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 1>say this now without jinxing you because it's three months

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>after the event. If we were speaking a week before,

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't have said this, but obviously the margin for

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>something to go wrong it is pretty high. I would say,

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.719
<v Speaker 1>how are you? What is going through your mind? And

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>how do you just physically do that? Because I think Delta,

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.959
<v Speaker 1>that's obviously part of why the whole performance just went

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:05.360
<v Speaker 1>viral night after night, because it was just such a

0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.120
<v Speaker 1>breathtaking moment at the rink. This sounding giddeo, it just

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>really was, and that's why I think you had not

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>just Australia, but people all over the world going how

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:16.199
<v Speaker 1>hell is that happening?

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>No, thank you, Sarah, And you know it was. There

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 2>was so so much detail, and I tell you what

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 2>we we in our rehearsals. The first time we truly

0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>you didn't see anyone on stage in that moment was

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 2>the semi final, So there was a lot of trust

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 2>involved with everybody, including how quick I was in grabbing

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>my dress and jumping up while still standing in the

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.719
<v Speaker 2>right spot when it's dark. Not to mention in our rehearsals,

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I remember one time the you know, we were getting

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the right amount of smoke in the you know, underneath

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>the piano. One of the rehearsals just took over the

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 2>entire stage and you didn't even see me.

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.199
<v Speaker 3>So we definitely, we definitely had.

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, like every single artists, you definitely had to

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 2>keep working together.

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 3>With the crew to be a team.

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:10.439
<v Speaker 2>But they were such a such a positive and they're

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>just so seasoned and they're just.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Like, we got this, and you go out there and

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, all right, let's go.

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>We've got this, We've got the timing, and you really

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 2>do kind of go out there. I felt very sort

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>of laser focused on my job and I knew what

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>I had to sort of focus on, and they they delivered,

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, those amazing ability but little things like making

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.800
<v Speaker 2>sure the belt buckle around me was the same color

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 2>as the dress, making sure that you know, you somehow

0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 2>get the right shot that is far enough away to

0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 2>still establish I'm standing on the piano now but yet

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and you can't see you don't want to see any

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>crew that have just jumped up to time me in

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>because it actually went quite high, so which which I

0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 2>never noticed when I was singing, but when we did

0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:01.719
<v Speaker 2>the first rehearsal, noticed I was like.

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.319
<v Speaker 3>What's a little eye up here, isn't it? But then

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 3>once I was singing, didn't notice how I was. So

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 3>that's the truth, making sure I got my hid of notes.

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:12.560
<v Speaker 1>When you have a moment and you pull off a

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>moment like that on a literally.

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Trust me, my heart rate beforehand was was definitely was

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:21.640
<v Speaker 2>definitely going.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I've been calve, come con Then just

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I was like, oh my god.

0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 1>And how challenging because obviously for a lot of us

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 1>when we feel that the first thing that goes is

0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>our breath.

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean you just you know, you have to

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 3>just ride the waves.

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.440
<v Speaker 2>And I think then also go out there and remember

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.640
<v Speaker 2>that it's it's such a blessing to get to do

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 2>what you love to do. And you know, music is

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a expression and a connection, and that at the end

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>of the day is you know, it's heart, it's soul,

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 2>it's you know, music is so I love music with

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 2>all my heart and soul. And when you are in

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.920
<v Speaker 2>that sort of moment, I also have to look at

0:13:59.920 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, adrenaline is also there to be, you know,

0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.679
<v Speaker 2>your rocket fuel as you're heading out, So you just

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 2>have to be able to sit with it and allow

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 2>it to be with you.

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 3>And so you know, we're in this together. We're in

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 3>this together. Let's go, let's go rock it out.

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>There and and and just enjoy, you know. And I

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.600
<v Speaker 2>always used to say that when I was a coach,

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 2>I was I just enjoy it as well, because it'll

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 2>be you know. In the lyrics of a clips it says,

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it won't belong to the morning comes,

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you know. And I always would say that, so this

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 2>is and I would always think when I'd look out

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>at the arena, I was like, you know, what't belong

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to the morning comes, and this will be now a treasure,

0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 2>a moment.

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.600
<v Speaker 3>And I and I always found that quite you know,

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 3>that's this will.

0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Be, this will be tomorrow, and this will this will

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 2>all be you know, this will be a new a

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>new day.

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 3>So enjoy the moment.

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Is that something that you think you would have had five, ten,

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years ago, Delta, because a lot of us look

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>back and think, why didn't I bask more in that

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>moment or observe that moment? Simply live in the moment

0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. Was that a learned skill?

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe maybe I'm not sure. I think that those

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 2>those moments can sometimes be unplanned. When you take a

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 2>moment to take in a room, maybe I don't think

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 2>you can maybe plan it, but sometimes when there's a

0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 2>lyrical context that can make maybe make it easier to go, oh.

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 3>That's that's so true. I think that.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe just different different different chapters of work, and not

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 2>all performances can you get to that place either. So

0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 2>it depends on depends on how much is going on

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 2>around you and in anybody's life. I think if you

0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>get a moment from some space where it's that important

0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>that you have to stay just so present, that maybe

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>that's where it can kind of step in.

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe let me ask you, Delta a little bit about

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>all of the people that discovered you and also rediscovered

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>you through a moment like Eurovision. At this point in

0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.600
<v Speaker 1>your career, you've been a household bame in Australia for

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty three twenty four years. Now does that surprise you?

0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 3>There's a couple of things to that and that.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean I spoke to I had done a gig

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 2>in Royal Abbot Hall with Lulu not long ago. It

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.760
<v Speaker 2>was it was all like beautiful friends of mine with

0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.480
<v Speaker 2>it was Gary Barler of Robbie Williams, like it was

0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 2>just it was a great.

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Night of song.

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I got to get up and because Lulu had done

0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.400
<v Speaker 2>your Vision and you know, we did her song from

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.000
<v Speaker 2>your Vision and Eclipse, and.

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.480
<v Speaker 3>She was saying she was got She said some great quotes.

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>She was like, oh god, now I try and remember

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 2>exactly because I'm not going to wreck the words. But

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.400
<v Speaker 2>it was something along the lines, you know, I'm always

0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:47.160
<v Speaker 2>being discovered, or like people are always discovering. You know,

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a Forever and he's Lulu, you know, you know,

0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.520
<v Speaker 2>decades in the in the industry, and she was like,

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm always a discovery. People are always discovering, you know,

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.040
<v Speaker 2>and that's that never stops.

0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 3>And I kind of thought there was a nice way

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.560
<v Speaker 3>of saying it that, you know, I think culture also has.

0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Shifted in respective Obviously, you can connect with your community

0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>in a much easier way, like in the way that

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.880
<v Speaker 2>we get to do this today, or in the way

0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 2>that people can create their algorithms and worlds around them

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:22.160
<v Speaker 2>to suit their life and to feed what is purposeful

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.199
<v Speaker 2>for them and what they feel resonates with them and

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 2>jump into communities, and I look at my I look

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.840
<v Speaker 2>at my people that are in you know, have supported

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 2>me or come to my shows as a community, and

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.199
<v Speaker 2>I look at it like it's whether people might be

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 2>in seasons or love a record or this album's feeling

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 2>great to them and it responds to their life.

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Right now, I think we've, like.

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.600
<v Speaker 2>You said, twenty three years into it, and I feel

0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:46.800
<v Speaker 2>like I've only just begun.

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.359
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that.

0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I also understand that the music is a part of

0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the you know, other people's lives, and I'm not.

0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:58.199
<v Speaker 3>Selfishly thinking that it's not all about me.

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.520
<v Speaker 2>This is about people's life, their own soundtracks, and if

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.440
<v Speaker 2>they feel some of the things I have felt from

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 2>where I wrote those songs, then natty is where they

0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, where they might draw into an album. And

0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>if the next album isn't it, that's okay too, And

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:14.960
<v Speaker 2>like we can you know, we can move like water.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>To have a career is constant rediscovery, constant some artists

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.680
<v Speaker 2>you might be loving in that moment of your life

0:18:21.680 --> 0:18:25.000
<v Speaker 2>speaking to you. And even with songwriting, I look at

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.439
<v Speaker 2>some of my songs I've written as I didn't realize

0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 2>i'd written them to say to myself, as well or

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:32.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, or maybe I had you know, and I

0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:34.439
<v Speaker 2>didn't know that till even Resae. I was like, oh,

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I just realized what I'd always thought.

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:37.919
<v Speaker 3>You know, from a different place.

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And then I go, oh wait, I think I was

0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 2>writing that telling myself, you know, you can you know,

0:18:41.880 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm a fighter, I'm you know, I'm My latest song

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Warrior had really been responding to my heart and giving

0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:50.800
<v Speaker 2>me courage, and I thought I hadn't felt that for

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a while on my own songs, and that was nice

0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to feel hearing it back and then seeing people respond

0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:00.879
<v Speaker 2>so strong to that song on the new record. But

0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, I feel, I feel that what's been happening

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 2>with the rediscovery if people had had in Us and Eyes,

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:08.960
<v Speaker 2>which they you know, had been a.

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Big album for me here in Europe.

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.680
<v Speaker 2>But also it was much harder to cross countries after

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.800
<v Speaker 2>My trajectory was my journey, and my journey had just

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 2>just a different trajectory than maybe what is a natural

0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 2>sort of from Australia globally, My my global audience has

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.439
<v Speaker 2>come from many years of people being a part of

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 2>it and discovering from different seasons of my life where

0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:36.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, two thousand and eight, we had a big

0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.000
<v Speaker 2>hit within this life in the US or in the UK,

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.080
<v Speaker 2>we hadn't in you know, we'd.

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Had this season and that season. In the last few.

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Years, it's been very UK and Europe for US, and

0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I sort of look at it like that sort of

0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 2>part of my audience around the world has come from

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:58.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of you know, constant, different, different moments that

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>has come into this moment right now in my life

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 2>and has come to all of a sudden be connected.

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think Eurovision was that a dream come true

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:12.199
<v Speaker 2>to see that connection of people who have been a

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 2>part of my story. But now I've really jumped into

0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:16.399
<v Speaker 2>my story and really jumped into.

0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Sort of coming to the shows and enjoying this new music.

0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.480
<v Speaker 3>So I see that.

0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, again, what Eclipse says is you have to

0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 2>trust the timing of everything in your life, and I'm reminded.

0:20:29.359 --> 0:20:30.119
<v Speaker 3>Of that all the time.

0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:34.679
<v Speaker 1>You also see someone Delta that has a very strong

0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>sense of who you are and what's important to you.

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 1>This is a universal conversation when it comes to what

0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 1>we let in from feedback from people yes invited or

0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:49.040
<v Speaker 1>aren't invited. And I've asked you a little bit about

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the absolute outpouring of love and both the warmth and

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the beauty that brings with it, and then the pressure

0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 1>and the expectation. But also of course there's you know,

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.520
<v Speaker 1>our love is nothing more than building a woman up

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and then tearing her down, and you've had your fair

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>share of that. So how have you learned to navigate that?

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.000
<v Speaker 1>And what would your advice be for anyone it's obviously

0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>not dealing with it at the macro global level of you,

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 1>but might feel that there's commentary from somebody that is

0:21:20.400 --> 0:21:23.119
<v Speaker 1>making them feel not great. What have you learned in

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>terms of what you'll live in?

0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:27.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's really interesting, Sarah, because we you know,

0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>you and I and we have shared with Stella, you know,

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.600
<v Speaker 2>many different seasons. You know, your ten years right now,

0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.639
<v Speaker 2>and I think even in that decade of time that

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>we've had conversations on different seasons.

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 3>You know. I feel that it's been really.

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Interesting to see that with this new media landscape, how

0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>everybody else has then experienced little kind of moments that

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I can see that I might have experienced just before,

0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Like a bigger wave of people have experienced their own

0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 2>worlds of what that might feel like or what that

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:08.919
<v Speaker 2>might entail to kind of walk and I would hope

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 2>that you know, I try to if there's you know,

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 2>if there's someone I should reach out or I do

0:22:15.440 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 2>try to sort of kind of keep an observation of

0:22:18.880 --> 0:22:21.439
<v Speaker 2>when people talk to me about this and getting past.

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But I'm grateful that it makes me stronger in my

0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:31.199
<v Speaker 2>authenticity into being true to when you're When you're truly,

0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:34.920
<v Speaker 2>truly being true to what your heart and what your

0:22:35.000 --> 0:22:37.879
<v Speaker 2>mind you know says, then it's much harder for people

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 2>to infiltrate that. And I think I equate having my

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:46.399
<v Speaker 2>amazing husband and just you know, my my family and friends,

0:22:46.640 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 2>and I am.

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:51.639
<v Speaker 3>Grateful for all the seasons because they have made me strong.

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.680
<v Speaker 3>And I don't.

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't really, I think because I've grown up in

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 2>it's so long, so don't look at a lot I

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:03.600
<v Speaker 2>don't really look at anything.

0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't And I know that a lot of people

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:09.440
<v Speaker 3>know me well enough now.

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>That if you want to be a part of the

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.120
<v Speaker 2>party and come to the shows, and if we want

0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to talk about life and experiences together and we want

0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 2>to have those meet and greets and you know, our

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:24.239
<v Speaker 2>online connections, then they know that I'm a place of

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 2>love and I that's my intention. I didn't I didn't

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:31.399
<v Speaker 2>have any other intention. So my intention is clear, and

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm always going to be coming back and staying true

0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 2>to the course of time, and I won't really let

0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 2>people take me off my road. I'm on MySpace and

0:23:43.320 --> 0:23:45.680
<v Speaker 2>you're welcome to join the party and stay in positivity

0:23:45.720 --> 0:23:47.160
<v Speaker 2>and kindness, or you can get out.

0:23:48.480 --> 0:23:50.719
<v Speaker 1>I love that, and we know plenty of people are

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 1>staying with the positive and kindness. Before I go back

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>to some happier news, I just wanted to ask you, Delta, though,

0:23:57.160 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 1>about the darker side of fame, And by that I'm

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:04.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about when an avid obsession with you and fixation

0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 1>with you as a public figure transcends the simply digital

0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:13.919
<v Speaker 1>and social media and trolling and that, but actually turns

0:24:13.960 --> 0:24:18.400
<v Speaker 1>into physical stalking. Earlier this year, a man was accused

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of harassing you online, but he was attempting to find

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:24.399
<v Speaker 1>your address. He was charged with using a carriage service

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.199
<v Speaker 1>to menace, harass or a fen I understand there's an

0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.000
<v Speaker 1>AVO about that. You did have an experience about stalking

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:33.919
<v Speaker 1>six years ago. How do you find the resilience to

0:24:34.000 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>go about your business as a public figure when you're

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 1>actually dealing with someone that's crossing the line of not

0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>only intimidating or seeking to infiltrate in your space digitally,

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 1>but actually in a real world and trying to track

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 1>down your address because obviously that, let's be honest, like,

0:24:51.600 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 1>that's obviously a huge violation, but also you know, I

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:56.680
<v Speaker 1>imagine very terrifying.

0:24:57.600 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I think we all just everybody just tries their very

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:04.439
<v Speaker 2>best to keep everything in reality and keep everything to

0:25:04.560 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 2>be protected as best as possible, whilst giving a lot

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:11.800
<v Speaker 2>of love and compassion, but also understanding there is boundaries

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.719
<v Speaker 2>still to my world, I do worry about other people

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.680
<v Speaker 2>when I see them stepping into having to deal with

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and maybe not having the tools sometimes or the intention

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 2>to get past when they're learning their first wave of

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:29.680
<v Speaker 2>different comments. I always do think to myself, I do

0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>worry when people choose to kind of step into maybe

0:25:34.040 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 2>a you know, I'm going to put myself out there,

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 2>and I think to myself, as long as you know

0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 2>when you're stepping into this, you know, into any arena,

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.439
<v Speaker 2>as long as you have the right intention. Just to

0:25:45.440 --> 0:25:47.960
<v Speaker 2>make sense of what I was saying about intention, if

0:25:47.960 --> 0:25:51.159
<v Speaker 2>you have a driving intention of a reason to step

0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:54.000
<v Speaker 2>into the public eye. It might be a little easier

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.439
<v Speaker 2>than sometimes if because you know you have something you

0:25:56.560 --> 0:25:58.480
<v Speaker 2>love so much and that you care about it and

0:25:58.520 --> 0:26:01.399
<v Speaker 2>you want to share, or you know you believe in

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:05.040
<v Speaker 2>your message you want to share with people. But if

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:07.720
<v Speaker 2>you don't have that, I can understand, and I would

0:26:07.760 --> 0:26:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I worry about sort of those tools that maybe young

0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 2>ones would still be having to learn to navigate, because

0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:17.159
<v Speaker 2>I know how that initial tool can be harder to

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.359
<v Speaker 2>learn and then to be able to take on enough

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 2>enough in the tank to learn, okay, is that.

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Something I can improve on? Or is that just unkind?

0:26:27.320 --> 0:26:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Or is this you know you have to sort of

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:32.119
<v Speaker 2>be able to discard and take what feels like and

0:26:32.160 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 2>then get to a point where I'm at where I'm

0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 2>not really I'm just in my I don't really take

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:40.880
<v Speaker 2>into my world as much, you know, but I can understand.

0:26:41.080 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a really interesting and I'm always very

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:46.000
<v Speaker 2>fascinated with this psychology. So it's an interesting conversation for me.

0:26:47.280 --> 0:26:50.080
<v Speaker 1>And coming up Delta on her first year of marriage,

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>why she was such a relaxed bride and the surprising

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>way she compares planning a wedding to performing at Eurovision.

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:02.160
<v Speaker 1>How has the the first year of marriage being.

0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:07.920
<v Speaker 2>It's been amazing and I, yeah, it's time.

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Time flies when you're having fun.

0:27:10.840 --> 0:27:14.320
<v Speaker 1>When we last spoke, you were engaged and you said

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it felt like you'd had an engagement party in every

0:27:17.400 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 1>city because he was nice.

0:27:19.280 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it was like an engagement party. We literally went

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:27.479
<v Speaker 2>to every city performing and it was like again that

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 2>it's exactly directly to what you're saying, where the banter

0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 2>with the audience is like, you know, congrats Deelter, or

0:27:33.840 --> 0:27:36.520
<v Speaker 2>like Hel's married life, and you just you know, you're

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:38.639
<v Speaker 2>you're on stage in front of thousands of people and

0:27:38.680 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>we're just like, go, it's good and that's over here,

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and you know, it's yeah, that's awesome.

0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:47.119
<v Speaker 1>I also, though I wanted to ask, because I really

0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:51.040
<v Speaker 1>love the fact that you seem to balance sharing that

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 1>moment and having that the world's biggest ongoing engagement party,

0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 1>but also protecting or preserving and there's no right or

0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:04.240
<v Speaker 1>wrong about this. But obviously also we don't know everything

0:28:04.400 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 1>about your wedding, and as you and I taking Delta

0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>that you're in the Northern Hemisphere at the moment, the

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:13.840
<v Speaker 1>northern summers, as you know, of course everyone has had

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:18.320
<v Speaker 1>a couple of really big profile weddings. Dua Liprin of course.

0:28:18.359 --> 0:28:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Taylor Swift.

0:28:20.480 --> 0:28:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the one thing that I definitely truly believe

0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>on when it came to when it comes to weddings,

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just really up to the two people

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and who they are individually, and there's no like you said,

0:28:31.080 --> 0:28:33.760
<v Speaker 2>there's no right or wrong. It's all what makes the

0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 2>day special for those two people. And what made it

0:28:36.720 --> 0:28:38.720
<v Speaker 2>special for us. It was actually quite intimate, and I

0:28:38.720 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 2>think even though we had even though the dress was

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 2>big and the church was big, it really was family

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 2>and very close friends and so it was it was

0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 2>quite It was quite intimate, but we but it was

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 2>perfect for us.

0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:54.960
<v Speaker 3>It was a it was a fairy tale for us.

0:28:55.200 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 2>And we still we got to go back to Malta

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:05.280
<v Speaker 2>on this trip and got to go and you know,

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 2>sort of have our year anniversary there while we were

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:09.120
<v Speaker 2>over at this side of the world.

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 3>So that was really special.

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>In terms of the preparation and the excitement and the

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>nerves of preparing for a big event. How did the

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 1>preparing for your wedding stack up to say, you know,

0:29:23.040 --> 0:29:28.479
<v Speaker 1>Eurovision Oral a world tour, you know, closing ceremony at

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the Calm Games. Where does a wedding fit into that.

0:29:31.720 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a good question because I knew exactly how I

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 2>was going to be, and I was extremely relaxed about

0:29:38.560 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 2>the wedding. I actually wasn't even and I knew I

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:45.960
<v Speaker 2>was going to be like this because of all the

0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 2>other pressure cookers that my life is. I got to

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:52.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, married, love my life and be with my

0:29:52.440 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 2>family and friends in a location that was very you know,

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:00.400
<v Speaker 2>sort of just ours, just you know personal. Actually, my

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 2>girlfriends were worried a little bit that I was. I

0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh, do you want to wear bridesmaid's outfits?

0:30:05.440 --> 0:30:06.720
<v Speaker 2>So I was like, I was like, you can. I'll

0:30:06.760 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 2>just wear any outfits you want and we can.

0:30:08.920 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 3>Just you know, I was. I was pretty They actually

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 3>were the ones going well.

0:30:13.880 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I was like, but you're all from all parts of

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the world, so it's hard to this together.

0:30:20.000 --> 0:30:22.280
<v Speaker 3>And so yeah, I was. I was.

0:30:23.080 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 2>There was still you know, it's still organized, but I

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>but I was very relaxed.

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I was just more excited for the day.

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I love that. It sounds like you will be one

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.200
<v Speaker 1>of the most chill brides in history, And.

0:30:33.840 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I.

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Didn't know it wasn't No, that was very I was

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, the right timing and the right moment, and yeah,

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>it was very special.

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I was saying earlier talking about your Eurovision performance that

0:30:50.200 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, if anyone's scared of hides, just tried to

0:30:52.640 --> 0:30:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, be inspired by deals are good and I

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:57.520
<v Speaker 1>think I'll just do you know, singing and it sounds

0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 1>here like for anyone that you know is listening, planning

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>or waiting and feeling a bit nervous, just go and

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>perform at the Commonwealth Games. Just go on a couple

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of world tours, easy, you know.

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:09.040
<v Speaker 4>What was Just just put some other things in more

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 4>pressure cookers, you know, just put yourself in really pressurized

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 4>situations just before leading up to the wedding and you'll

0:31:15.760 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 4>be like, eh, that's a.

0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Delta. Let's talk about what is next. So, as I said,

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you and I just talking after you have are added

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>to what's been a very very eventful twenty twenty six

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:32.800
<v Speaker 1>performing at the Commonwealth Games, where you did us proud

0:31:32.880 --> 0:31:38.320
<v Speaker 1>yet again, performing one of the unofficial Australian anthems in

0:31:38.440 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>John Farnham's You're the Voice. And I love the fact

0:31:40.680 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that I don't know if the bagpipe solo has ever

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:47.840
<v Speaker 1>felt more resonant in some ways than in Glasgow. Delta

0:31:48.320 --> 0:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that they.

0:31:48.640 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Had requested to sing that song, and I loved the

0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 2>idea that it was like Ozzie and Scotland sort of

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 2>coming together with the bagpipes. The bagpipes on they come

0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:01.040
<v Speaker 2>on are always emotional anyway, but being in like Glasgow

0:32:02.200 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 2>with my new friend Cami, who's a Scottish artist there

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>with the bagpipe starting, was just really really awesome to

0:32:10.040 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 2>be on stage.

0:32:11.240 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 3>And experience in the room.

0:32:13.400 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 2>The room was going crazy even the like bagpipes started,

0:32:16.480 --> 0:32:20.720
<v Speaker 2>and yeah it was It was really really awesome.

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And obviously you are a global citizen, but you know

0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>we're waiving my Australian flag here. As of course we

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 1>all know Australia absolutely smashed it at the Commonwealth Games,

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 1>our fabulous athletes, but we were meant to have the

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Commonwealth Games in Australia and watching you, I think it

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 1>also did feel like it was us making up for

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we hadn't had it in Australia. Think

0:32:45.600 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 1>between the athletes absolutely, you know, annihilating everyone in the

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>metal tally and then Delta you closing things out, it

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>was the closest we could come, I think, to having

0:32:57.200 --> 0:32:58.320
<v Speaker 1>it on our own shores.

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel honored that they asked me and to

0:33:03.120 --> 0:33:06.200
<v Speaker 2>be able to fly that flag again and again being

0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 2>very I think patriotic and being able to get up

0:33:10.400 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 2>there and sort of I think shared in the celebrations

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:17.680
<v Speaker 2>that were for the athletes there and Australia doing just

0:33:18.280 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 2>so insanely.

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:19.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we.

0:33:19.760 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Couldn't all be prouder of how they all just that

0:33:24.320 --> 0:33:27.760
<v Speaker 2>metal tally was insane. I also met Delta, the long jumper,

0:33:27.800 --> 0:33:32.480
<v Speaker 2>who's now my sister. So she's nineteen, she's got big

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>things coming up ahead of verse.

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:37.640
<v Speaker 3>So I went to HQ and met my new twin sister,

0:33:39.040 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 3>and so.

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:42.960
<v Speaker 2>I definitely got to be a part of the athletes

0:33:43.000 --> 0:33:45.760
<v Speaker 2>on the last day and get to even though I

0:33:45.800 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 2>just got there, I got to, you know, sort of see.

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 3>How how well they're done, how they were.

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Just so you know, like Patricia Thomas was showing me

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 2>around the HQ and all the recoveries and everything they

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.200
<v Speaker 2>were doing. I mean, they're just a force we reckon

0:33:58.240 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 2>with and I think that's something we should all be

0:33:59.600 --> 0:34:03.080
<v Speaker 2>really prof And I was thankful to get there and

0:34:03.120 --> 0:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>just you know, sing the songs they know as well

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.840
<v Speaker 2>and be a part of that celebration for them, as

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:09.880
<v Speaker 2>well as sharing a new song, which I think is

0:34:09.960 --> 0:34:12.040
<v Speaker 2>very important and Delta.

0:34:12.080 --> 0:34:15.760
<v Speaker 1>You will be competing in the upcoming season of Strictly

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Come Dancing in the UK. How are you preparing for that?

0:34:20.200 --> 0:34:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I haven't started yet, but I am in the next

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:26.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, two weeks or so. So I am very

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 2>excited to step onto the ballroom.

0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:35.839
<v Speaker 3>I welcome the skill set that I can hopefully take

0:34:35.880 --> 0:34:36.919
<v Speaker 3>to the tour next year.

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.640
<v Speaker 2>You never know means another I can bring some ballroom

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:43.879
<v Speaker 2>dance to my show. I'm really excited to learn and

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>from the pros and be able to go into it.

0:34:46.640 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I have no expectations or you know, I will just

0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:51.840
<v Speaker 2>do my very best and.

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:53.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, just give it a go.

0:34:54.320 --> 0:34:57.040
<v Speaker 1>In the industry, of course people talk about the triple

0:34:57.080 --> 0:35:04.960
<v Speaker 1>threat you and uplished actor, singer, songwriter, and of course

0:35:05.080 --> 0:35:08.600
<v Speaker 1>you play music often accompany yourself live on stage with piano.

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:12.319
<v Speaker 1>So I think now we're looking at we need a

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:15.120
<v Speaker 1>new name for triple threat. I mean another string to

0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the bow taking to the ballroom dance floor.

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm really excited for the process.

0:35:20.040 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I love the fact that it's so much you know,

0:35:21.880 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 2>there's so many there's so much glitter and.

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:25.359
<v Speaker 3>So many sparkly outfits, and.

0:35:25.280 --> 0:35:29.040
<v Speaker 2>There's lots of music, and I mean, it's the show

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:32.600
<v Speaker 2>here is insane in the UK, like every single person

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.279
<v Speaker 2>talks to you about it. Even when I came from

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Scotland just say that the gentleman was like he's a

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:38.919
<v Speaker 2>boring dancer.

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:42.520
<v Speaker 3>He was giving me some tips and he was like,

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:44.440
<v Speaker 3>ah met, My wife and I were big, you know.

0:35:44.680 --> 0:35:47.720
<v Speaker 3>I was like, all right, okay, so you know, I'm Stephie,

0:35:48.160 --> 0:35:49.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna give a go.

0:35:49.680 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I danced growing up, but I you know, obviously I'm

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot more at the piano in my instruments, so

0:35:55.719 --> 0:35:56.839
<v Speaker 2>this is a chance.

0:35:56.520 --> 0:35:59.640
<v Speaker 3>For me to to step into a new realm as well.

0:36:00.239 --> 0:36:03.879
<v Speaker 1>I recently Robert Irwin was sitting here with me in

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the Something to talk about studio, and of course he

0:36:07.080 --> 0:36:09.520
<v Speaker 1>won Dancing with the Stars in the US, so I

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:12.239
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I just have a good feeling about our

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Australians doing global dance shows.

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:22.759
<v Speaker 2>He was so phenomenal and so incredible that yeah, I mean,

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:25.239
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was a superstar.

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 3>So if I could even be a quarter.

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 2>For profit skills then I will be having.

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, you will be releasing your new album, Pure Lady

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:43.160
<v Speaker 1>this year, and you've also recently announced an upcoming world

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 1>tour next year. What can you tell us about both

0:36:46.800 --> 0:36:50.279
<v Speaker 1>the album and the tour and everything that we've just

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.560
<v Speaker 1>spoken about And I'm only talking about like the last

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:56.640
<v Speaker 1>twelve months here, so I'm exhausted talking about now how

0:36:56.680 --> 0:37:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you've done it all. Will this be being channeled and

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 1>bottled into your new music and your new tour for sure?

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:10.800
<v Speaker 3>So I I just I really loved the new album.

0:37:10.840 --> 0:37:16.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm really I'm very, very dedicated to its journey, and

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, I just I can't wait for people to

0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:22.640
<v Speaker 2>hear the whole body of work. It feels like it's

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.960
<v Speaker 2>been a combination of all my albums into this album.

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 3>It feels like it has an element.

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:30.360
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting, it feels like it has an element of

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:33.879
<v Speaker 2>each record. I kind of feel like it was when

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I was when I started writing it. I just sort

0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:41.719
<v Speaker 2>of didn't have any constraints on where it could go

0:37:41.960 --> 0:37:44.319
<v Speaker 2>or what it was going to be. So I think

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I just kept enjoying the fact that, you know, it

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:50.680
<v Speaker 2>could be a combination of all the pop music I

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:53.640
<v Speaker 2>love but also it has a I definitely feel the

0:37:53.640 --> 0:37:54.480
<v Speaker 2>fingerprint of what.

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I do in it.

0:37:56.280 --> 0:38:00.759
<v Speaker 2>And then when Eurovision came along and you know, when

0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 2>that was sort of circling me and when it landed

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:06.960
<v Speaker 2>on my heart, gave me such inspiration for songwriting to

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 2>finish these songs as well, because it has such a

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:15.120
<v Speaker 2>no limit thought process there where you know, you can

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:17.480
<v Speaker 2>do the extra key change, you can do the extra

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 2>piano solo, you can I was like, I'm doing all

0:38:20.280 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 2>of it on the record, So I kind of took

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:25.160
<v Speaker 2>that philosophy and checked all the songs that they were

0:38:25.200 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 2>aligned with what excited me again, and that's where the

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 2>record is sat. And so I've already come up with

0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:35.520
<v Speaker 2>how the tour, you know, kind of the journey of

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:38.680
<v Speaker 2>the tour is, and that's that's my that's what the

0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:41.360
<v Speaker 2>icing on the cake is getting to, you know, do

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the arena show in Australia and obviously do the world

0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:46.440
<v Speaker 2>tour around the rest of the world, and we've got

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of shows coming up. So that's what I

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.280
<v Speaker 2>love to do, is see people in person and sing

0:38:51.320 --> 0:38:52.839
<v Speaker 2>for them and connect with them and.

0:38:53.600 --> 0:38:56.719
<v Speaker 3>You know, and go on a journey in the in

0:38:56.760 --> 0:38:57.719
<v Speaker 3>the room together.

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Is there a part of the process that you like

0:39:00.640 --> 0:39:06.560
<v Speaker 1>the most writing a song, Yeah, performing or recording.

0:39:06.040 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 2>It Because I started so, I mean, I was in

0:39:08.080 --> 0:39:10.400
<v Speaker 2>studios by the time I was twelve years old, Like

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I was about eleven years old when I recorded my

0:39:13.000 --> 0:39:14.280
<v Speaker 2>first album, and.

0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:18.920
<v Speaker 3>So I go in and out sometimes of songwriting. I

0:39:19.440 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 3>have bursts of because.

0:39:23.760 --> 0:39:27.239
<v Speaker 2>I like Eclips and Hologram were written on the same day,

0:39:27.640 --> 0:39:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and I can get.

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:31.920
<v Speaker 3>Quite once I finally get some space.

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 2>I definitely like dive in in the studio, but I

0:39:35.360 --> 0:39:37.000
<v Speaker 2>like it to be you know, sort of.

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:39.319
<v Speaker 3>Open the door, go go go, go, go go go.

0:39:39.640 --> 0:39:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Then I like to shut it and kind of that's

0:39:42.360 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 2>been me in the last few years, but that's only

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:45.240
<v Speaker 2>because we've been so much.

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 1>On the road.

0:39:45.600 --> 0:39:49.840
<v Speaker 3>So live is my favorite. Live is my favorite element,

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 3>and the last stages of bringing it landing a song

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:56.440
<v Speaker 3>is probably my favorite too, because the middle is all

0:39:56.480 --> 0:39:57.040
<v Speaker 3>the hard work.

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.840
<v Speaker 2>The end you're still doing the little painting and or

0:40:00.840 --> 0:40:04.680
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more you know, base, a little bit

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 2>more drums, more bbs.

0:40:06.360 --> 0:40:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Or you know, that's kind of the fun painting.

0:40:09.000 --> 0:40:13.600
<v Speaker 2>But when you're in the trenches on it, it's like, oh.

0:40:12.280 --> 0:40:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's funny when you were talking about, you know,

0:40:15.480 --> 0:40:18.880
<v Speaker 1>things where you might during the creation and the writing

0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:25.120
<v Speaker 1>process allow yourself to create and innovate. And then of

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:29.320
<v Speaker 1>course we come to Delta on stage for the Pure

0:40:29.400 --> 0:40:32.520
<v Speaker 1>World tour and thinking, wait a minute, why did I

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:35.080
<v Speaker 1>write two more versus to this? Or why does this

0:40:35.200 --> 0:40:38.240
<v Speaker 1>go up and octave? Is there a part where current

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Delta's thinking what what on earth? Was past Delta thinking oh, yeah, I.

0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Just cut them, like I just got get rid of

0:40:46.280 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 2>this verse of this bit. No, but it's interesting because

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Eclipse is so high that I definitely, for a minute

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:56.240
<v Speaker 2>there was like, this is so high?

0:40:57.160 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 3>Am I?

0:40:58.160 --> 0:40:58.239
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:40:58.680 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:40:59.280 --> 0:41:02.320
<v Speaker 2>That's I definite, definitely have I definitely was challenging myself

0:41:02.360 --> 0:41:04.280
<v Speaker 2>and some of the other songs when I was writing

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:05.319
<v Speaker 2>with the idea of is.

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 3>This a sort of Eurovision song?

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:10.959
<v Speaker 2>Or I definitely stretched myself higher than I'd ever gone

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:13.879
<v Speaker 2>on this record. There's another song on the record which

0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:17.200
<v Speaker 2>was sort of a it was definitely floating around as

0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:20.319
<v Speaker 2>a as a as a thought process to to to

0:41:20.400 --> 0:41:24.440
<v Speaker 2>perform that. It goes again another one that just goes

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 2>so so so high and so say so low and

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:30.239
<v Speaker 2>so so so high. But now it's become the album's

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:33.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of footprint is the extremity of some of the

0:41:34.920 --> 0:41:38.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, the glory of of some of the ballads

0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:43.120
<v Speaker 2>that are so you know they have intensity and and

0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:47.920
<v Speaker 2>and them, and thematism like anthemic sorry and the anthemic energy.

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 2>But then you know, there's it's definitely if I'm if

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:56.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm live, I still they all have to make sense

0:41:56.760 --> 0:42:00.399
<v Speaker 2>when they're live, and and make sure you have still

0:42:00.440 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 2>an ability to do two and a half hours of singing.

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything that you haven't already achieved that's still

0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:11.879
<v Speaker 1>on the wish list yet to be ticked off? And

0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 1>if so, shall we put it out into the universe

0:42:14.680 --> 0:42:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and talk about it as our last question and answer?

0:42:18.719 --> 0:42:21.879
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I think in this moment, there's still

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:24.200
<v Speaker 2>so much I have, so much, so much.

0:42:24.239 --> 0:42:27.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm just getting started again. And as the lyric and

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Eclipse says, we've only just begun. Forever's just begun.

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:34.319
<v Speaker 2>So I will take that and continue to just sort

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.839
<v Speaker 2>of just move with the flow right now and where

0:42:36.880 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 2>it takes me. At the moment, it's on the ballroom

0:42:39.200 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 2>glitter floor for this couple of months, and then I

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:47.120
<v Speaker 2>will be back on stage and singing along with everybody.

0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, good luck on the Glitter Ballroom, congratulations on everything

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 1>that has happened since we last spoke, and Delta. Goodroom's

0:42:55.640 --> 0:42:58.359

<v Speaker 1>Pure World Tour coming to Australia in April twenty twenty seven.

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:05.040
