As expected, hysteria has broken out in Ireland. Apparently now that the country isn?t growing any more, we?re going straight back to the eighties.

Thank God they didn't cheapen the campaign by running a downmarket photo of a pop icon with a caption such as - oh - "

Kylie's OBE show ran on the ABC after everything else because it is the biggest story on the news today. What came first? More complaints about muelsing by PETA, again in Europe.

After the program break the main story was climate change and Chinese investment in Australia's mining. After Alan Kohler we watched a story about bullying in the NSW Ambulance Service. Next we

In an era of pre-fabricated as-seen-on-TV popstars, Delta Goodrem is the real thing. A pianist since the age of seven, Goodrem harks back to a bygone era where pop stars wrote their own songs and sang them live - as simple as that. Her debut album in the U.S. serves as a welcome antidote to the rushed world of generic pop, with timeless, global tunes injected with power, passion and personality. First single, ?In This Life,? also happens to be Delta?s eighth #1 hit in Australia (ou
