Delta Goodrem Reworks Five Covers Across Stage, TV, and Soundtracks
Delta Goodrem’s recent cover of Loreen’s “Tattoo” for the Eurovision Song Contest A Little Bit More series has pushed her cover history back into focus, with Aussievision compiling five of her best performances. The list treats delta goodrem less like a nostalgia act and more like a singer who has repeatedly used borrowed material to reset her live and recorded output.
More Than Two Decades
“For more than two decades, Delta Goodrem has wowed us here in Australia and around the world with her musical talents, building a diverse and critically acclaimed catalogue of hits.” That is the frame Aussievision used to open its roundup, and it fits the way her cover work has moved across formats rather than sitting in one lane.
“In fact, her first ever single I Don't Care was a cover!” The line matters because it places the recent Eurovision tie-in inside a longer pattern: she has not only revisited other artists’ songs, she has built key moments in her career from them.
The Darkness and Anzac Day
In 2016, Goodrem reworked The Darkness’s “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” as an extra track on Wings Of The Wild and added it to her Australian arena tour setlist. That pairing of album track and live set is the clearest sign that the cover was not treated as a throwaway.
On Anzac Day 2020, she and Colin Hay performed “Down Under” on From The Home Front, then she returned for the second edition in 2021 to cover John Farnham’s “You’re The Voice.” Those two television performances show the practical range of her cover choices: one duet built for a national broadcast, the other a straight run at a well-known anthem.
Wendy Matthews to Olivia Newton-John
In 2011, Goodrem performed Wendy Matthews’ ballad at the ARIA Awards In Memoriam segment, and in 2018 she recorded covers of Olivia Newton-John songs for the soundtrack of Olivia Newton-John: Hoplessless Devoted To You. She also recorded “Hopelessly Devoted To You” for that soundtrack, extending the pattern from live television into recorded tribute work.
“On the back of her recent ace cover of 2023 Eurovision winner Loreen's Tattoo for the Eurovision Song Contest... A Little Bit More series - here's five of Delta's best covers which she's absolutely nailed over the years.” The recent Eurovision-related performance is the hook, but the broader list is the point: Goodrem’s cover catalogue now runs from early career material to soundtrack cuts and arena-ready live rewrites, and that gives the new Eurovision appearance immediate context rather than novelty value.
