Delta Casts Magic Spell Her concert began like a beautiful fairytale and, from the reaction of the 3500 screaming fans who packed the Derwent Entertainment Centre last night, Delta Goodrem was every bit as enchanting.
A little blue fairy flitted down the aisle to kick off the proceedings, and with a wave of her magic wand, Delta appeared in a stunning blue and purple floor-length gown, with a red sequin trim.
"Hi Hobart, it's great to be here," Delta called to the excited crowd of mostly teenage girls.
Between performing her original songs - which have had huge chart success in Australia - Delta put the house lights up to talk to the crowd, telling of her visit to the Cadbury factory earlier in the day where she filled her hands and all her pockets with chocolate. She apologised for her husky speaking voice - as Hobart is the final of 10 shows around the country in her Visualise tour - but the crowd didn't seem to mind.
"Love you, Delta," they screamed from all corners of the DEC. "You rock."
One young female fan squealed with delight as she approached the stage to present her idol with a single rose and received a kiss on the cheek from Delta in return.
But it wasn't just the girls who were excited as 15-year-old Jacob Basche, of Kingston, thought all his dreams had come true when Delta pulled him out of the crowd and up on to the stage to serenade him.
While the visual feast of Delta's six costumes, along with a six-piece band, five-piece string section, backing singers and dancers kept fans in awe, the highlight of the night for most was Delta's duet with Irish singer boyfriend Brian McFadden.
