So, I guess anyone who knows me knows I am a Delta Goodrem fan. I have been since the beginning when I was... wow, 12?! That's just crazy.
Anyway, Delta and her music have seen me through a lot of major life-events the last ten years, and I read about hers from fighting cancer at age 18, to being engaged, to breaking off the engagement...
Yesterday, her 4th album (and first since 2007) was released, Child of the universe. Delta always writes about things she's gone through in her life, and this is no different. So of course, the album makes reference the end of her relationship with Brian Mcfadden (formerly of Westlife, I guess that's where most people would know him from. It's where I did before he was with Delta!).
And then of course, there's been drama.
Vogue Mcfadden (nee Williams), Brian's new wife, tweeted the other day:
"You say you don't want to discuss your personal life so DON'T!! but please stop using it to promote yourself it's embarrassing ... #fake
This was brought to Delta's attention during a radio interview and she just laughed it off saying that it was "really cool of them to listen to the album early and listen to the lyrics".
But this is the thing that bugs me- Delta fans have been tweeting Vogue about her comment.
Rachael Leahcar, Delta's finalist on
The Voice tweeted "*throws orange*" to Vogue and then someone added a "Dead" to that.
Brian replied to that, asking "are you threatening my life? I'll find you" (I'm assuming he meant "wife" we all know about autocorrect and how that works), and that's fair that he was upset about that.
But now it's getting ridiculous. People are tweeting Brian things (e.g. "go back to Ireland, we love Delta, etc") but he's replying (e.g. "get a life. A real idol and a nutritionist").
Guys, none of this is cool.
I
love Delta, and honestly, I don't care about Vogue and Brian. I don't know anything about her to form an opinion. I liked Brian in
Westlife and I have some of his songs from iTunes, but all from when he was with Delta, because well... he was writing about Delta. And they were nice songs. And he has a nice voice.
I don't think it was cool what Vogue tweeted, even if she at least didn't mention Delta directly. I mean, Delta has
never come out and said these songs are about Brian... even though everyone knows they are. LOL. I mean, they were together for
seven years, which is a really long time. And did people really expect Delta wasn't going to write about it at all?
But no matter what your thoughts/feelings on Vogue/Brian/Delta are, is it really necessary to tweet such things? You don't like Brian- don't buy his music, watch
Australia's Got Talent or follow him on twitter, whatever.
Tweeting things to Brian and Vogue isn't going to accomplish anything, just stir up more drama, and give Delta fans a bad name. And didn't we learn anything from the whole Charlotte Dawson incident?
Delta and Brian have both moved on. Brian is married, and they're both happy. This wouldn't even be news if Delta's album hadn't come out. I think it's sad that when they first broke up they still seemed friendly with one another and all that's fallen apart now.
Can we all just move on please?
