DELTA Goodrem’s impromptu performance at the private birthday party of an international hitmaker has finally won her the big break she needs to put her career on the map in the US.

Goodrem has been invited to sing with Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli at his American Christmas concerts after wowing producer David Foster with her talent when she gatecrashed his birthday soiree.

Foster discovered and nurtured the careers of Celine Dion, Michael Buble and Josh Groban and has been searching for a suitable project for Goodrem since they met earlier this month.

“I’d been doing a performance at a radio station and was asked to come along to this party next door to say hi to some people,” Goodrem explained.

“I didn’t know it was David Foster or that it was his birthday.

“There was a piano and mic there and he asked me if I wanted to get up and sing.

“David Foster is someone I have looked up to my whole life … and he called me later saying that he would look out for something for us to work on together.

“David has produced Andrea’s album and they were in the studio organising these concerts and called me up. I think it may have been fate singing at his birthday.”

Goodrem has spent countless months in recent years trying to get a foothold in the US, which already has its fair share of powerful pop vocalists.

The opportunity to perform four concerts with Bocelli, including reprising Celine Dion’s duet with him on The Prayer, could be just the break she has been waiting for.

It is expected about 80,000 Americans will see her perform that megawatt number, as well as a variety of carols, including The Christmas Song.

“I’ve had to learn the lyric from Brian [McFadden] because we don’t sing songs about roasting chestnuts in Australia,” she said.

Goodrem will make a whirlwind trip home to perform her own Christmas concert at the Sydney Opera House on December 6.
