I purchased this cd from Amazon and the edition I received is actually an Australian edition. The bonus DVD includes the videos for "Born to Try," and "Lost Without You" as well as "Born to Try" live (recorded in/on a studio/set), and some behind the scenes footage of Ms.goodrem.(basically short "the makings of" the two videos and some clips from when she was in London).

For the price, 10.99, this is a great cd/dvd package. (as Amazon seems to sell other editions from 16.99-19.99-to 20 something dollars, and this edition has the bonus dvd that others don't seem to include)

For those of you wondering if the dvd will play- as it is in PAL format-It played fine on my computer's dvd player-so I think it will probably play on most dvd players.

As other reviewers have mentioned, Ms. Goodrem has a beautiful voice. However if you like more upbeat pop. You should buy her second album "mistaken identity" as the songs are a little more upbeat (and she shows more range). This album is good but most (ok..basically all) of the songs are ballads. (a few of the songs sound similar)

Also, if you're thinking about buying this album I would note that its very much "straight" pop with some occasional alt. cont. leanings... it definitely does not have an R&B edge. Also besides 5 or 6 standout songs (born to try, innocent eyes, etc..)the production on this album can feel somewhat bland and sometimes a little overpowering...

Ms.Goodrem has a good voice, however she does not have the most distinctive voice, (as compared to other pop singers such as Kelly Clarkson, Leann Rimes, or Monica) but her voice is very pleasant, fairly strong, and you have to give her credit for choosing the songs that best compliment her voice. She co/wrote or wrote many of the songs herself.

Quite simply, Delta has an amazing live show and this cd doesn't really do justice to what she's capable of. The emotion and energy present in her live performances, just isn't really there on her cd. Most disappointing to me is "Innocent Eyes", a song which positively gave me shivers when I heard it live. However, it's still an outstanding cd due to it's thoughtful, well-written lyrics, soaring vocals, and excellent piano work. My favorites are "Not Me, Not I", "Lost Without You", and "Predictable". This cd is great to listen to kinda as background music, and then some tracks make you just stop and get your full attention. All this cd could have been that way though if Delta could have just captured some of that passion and spirit that she sings her live shows with...

VERY GOOD VOICE BUT NEVER PUT TO THE TEST, KEPT EXPECTING SOME THUMP OR STRENGTH TO THE SONGS...NEVER GOT THERE

Nice to hear a comtemporary singer who actually tries to sing a song, and not scream at you as they do it. Good enough to get me to buy her other albums.

Of the three albums I have this has got to be my favorite album of Delta's...The lyrics are wonderful, her voice is excellent, and the music is catchy. Yes, the songs are more mellow, but they are very very good. I would highly recommend this album, esp. if you are new to Delta Goodrem.

Delta Goodrem! Beautiful voice & beautiful young woman with a fantastic biography. May God Bless her and keep her cancer free! Great CD!

Delta's first album is still her best, in my opinion. The songs are fresh and original and her voice is simply superb. If you only buy one Delta CD, make it this one.

Mind you the others are good too, so if you like this one sample her others.

The first time I listened to Delta Goodrem was in a trip to the UK on TV, the video was I Am Lost Without You. I loved the song. It is actually included in this album. I finally made the decision to actually purchase one of her albums and I can proudly say that I made a very good decision. Her voice is candid but powerful, the songs she sings are catchy but still elegant. I believe she is a true artist, one that is mostly recognized in Europe but perhaps not so known in the US, which is unfortunate. I would love to go to one of her concerts if she starts touring in the US. If you can, buy this product and you will not regret it.

STILL have not received this cd from seller! It's been 5 weeks! What's up Amazon???
