It's not a great deal different really, I think I prefer the original version - lots of unnecessary tweaking in the US version. It's no less poppy so I don't really see the point.

I'm not the biggest fan of the song, but this performance is one of my favourite Delta performances ever:

 

 

The audience absolutely love her and she's so adorable. :wub:

Come back, Delta! :cry:

Darren Hayes did a brilliant cover of it too at the ARIA's in 2003. His voice sounds great on it - his hair looked dire though;

 

I almost screamed when Fast Food Rockers overtook it at the last minute for a top 3 chart position :drama: I remember it being #2 in its midweeks, I want to say behind Evanescence but I can't remember for sure.

If it were Evanescence who topped the chart that week than i approve :o

 

Actually, *looks up* yeah it was their 3rd week at number one!

 

FFR were 2nd LOL. It tells so much about British public! :lol:

From the sublime to the ridiculous...as is always the case in the UK charts. Although this year it's usually the ridiculous at #1 and the sublime at #2 :(

 

Alexandra getting her carnival on at #1, knocking off Olly 'cod reggae' Murs, whilst Queen Katy Perry has to settle for #2 with BuzzJack's favourite song of 2010.

I remember seeing it at #2 in the midweeks that week, I was shocked and I had expected Fast Food Rockers to be a surefire #1, and they were #4 initially. :lol:
Thank goodness we held onto a shred of dignitiy by not allowing that monstrosity to go to #1! Was released a year too early I think - 2004 was the year for truly dire #1's (Babycakes, Eamon etc... :puke:). 2003 was actually very decent in that respect, some real classics at the top - Crazy In Love, All The Things She Said, Bring Me To Life, Leave Right Now etc...
f*** it and Babycakes were AMAZING though :(

They really, truly weren't. Lets play rate the 2004 #1's :magic:

What a year :heart:

That #1's list was truly dire though. 2004 had its moments (mostly from Delta :kink:) but certainly hardly any of them got to #1. Take Me To The Clouds Above, Lola's Theme and These Words are the only ones I cared much for. Who wants to see my 2004 top 40 end of year chart? All of you? Here it is then;

 

1. Sarah McLachlan-World on fire

2. Shapeshifters-Lola's Theme

3. The Corrs-Summer sunshine

4. Natasha Bedingfield-These Words

5. Delta Goodrem-Out of the blue

6. Kelly Llorenna-This time I know its for real - The greatest video ever

7. The Corrs-Baby be brave

8. Sarah McLachlan-Fallen

9. Natasha Bedingfield-Unwritten

10. Dannii Minogue VS Flower Power-You won't forget about me

11. Zero 7 feat Sia-Somersault So gorgeous, one of their 'holy trinity'

12. Julie & Ludwig-On again...off again

13. Lucie Silvas-What you're made of If you think, love is blind etc...dirty Delta copy but great anyway

14. The Corrs-Angel

15. Ruslana-Wild dances

16. Sarah McLachlan-Train wreck

17. Motorcycle-As the rush comes

18. Sarah McLachlan-Stupid

19. Delta Goodrem-Extraordinary Day

20. The Corrs-Long Night

21. Flip 'n' Fill feat Karen Parry-Discoland

22. Mousse T-Is It cos I'm cool

23. Delta Goodrem-Throw it away

24. Lena Philipsson-It hurts we all know what this is about of course

25. Atomic Kitten-Believer

26. XTM feat Annia-Give me your love

27. LMC vs U2-Take me to the clouds above

28. Atomic Kitten-Ladies night

29. The Corrs-Humdrum

30. Kylie Minogue-Chocolate

31. Delta Goodrem-Mistaken Identity

32. Special D-Nothing I won't do

33. Special D-Come with me

34. Atomic Kitten-Right now 2004

35. Atomic Kitten-Nothing in the world

36. Delta Goodrem-Electric Storm

37. Neo Cortex-Elements

38. Sarah McLachlan-Time

39. Kylie Minogue-Red blooded woman

40. Natasha Bedingfield-Wild horses

 

Some classics in there no doubt, two Special D entries are surely justified! Mind you, four of my all time favourite albums came out - Afterglow, Mistaken Identity, Unwritten and Borrowed Heaven and that's not to be sniffed at. No album released in 2010 comes close to any of those four for me. Those gasping at the low positions for Electric Storm, Mistaken Identity and Extraordinary Day - I compiled this chart three weeks after I got the album - it's a wonder they made it in at all! They all finished much higher in my 2005 end of year chart.

I can't find my year end chart for 2004, but the following songs all made 2004 amazing:

Interesting...some truly dire songs in there :lol: Robbie's 2nd worst after Rudebox - was that in your 2006 end of year? :kink:

 

Lots are indeed fantastic though :D

The middle eight of Try is what makes it for me - along with the perfect verses, the instrumentation...well, obviously all of it's perfect to me, given it's my favourite track out of some of the amazingness the last decade threw up :lol:
