Delta Goodrem’s performance at the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday was a big hit with most.
But some viewers watching at home were less than impressed with the pop star’s rendition of her biggest hit, Born To Try.
She sat at her piano on stage to deliver a tear-jerking performance, surrounded by flowers in what was a touching scene.
While many lauded Delta’s appearance at the event, others had harsh words, sharing their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter.
‘Whatever you got paid we kindly request a refund @DeltaGoodrem’ quipped one viewer.

Another said: ‘Like I really hate to rag on Aussie artists but seriously what hit has Delta Goodrem had in the last decade? Born to try came out in 2002.
‘These major sporting events are a GREAT opportunity to promote AND GIVE a platform to up and coming Aussie artists.’
One more chimed in: ‘What is with these major sporting events in Australia literally using the same artists all the time? How many times do we have to see Delta Goodrem open a show? Get some new talent ffs.’
