Delta Goodrem has responded to online critics who have labelled her 'annoying', insisting she will not be brought down by keyboard warriors. The 32-year-old Voice Australia judge told the Herald Sun that her focus remains on the love and support from fans.
'I'm going to keep hitting that buzzer and I'm going to find new ways to hit it next year,' said the singer, dismissing the trolls as 'incredibly boring'. She added that negativity is not part of her personal philosophy, stating: 'The reality of what I live is a true blessing and people are wonderful to me.'
Goodrem's comments come after fellow coach Kelly Rowland defended her in an interview with The Daily Telegraph, describing her as a great representation of Australia. 'Why wouldn't you hold her up on your shoulders? That's your blood. C'mon guys, you gotta do better than that,' Rowland said.
Criticism of Goodrem intensified during The Voice blind auditions, with viewers taking to Twitter to complain about her theatrical behaviour before pressing the button. One user wrote: 'Either push the button or sit the f**k down.'
Despite the backlash, Goodrem remains undeterred as she enters her fifth year as a judge on the talent show, having been the longest reigning mentor and winner of last year's season.
