The most famous Australian musicians in my opinion have to be AC/DC even though all of their music sounds the same after a while. I still bop to Highway To Hell though (P!nk's cover on The Funhouse Tour  )

Australia's music industry is such a flop too though. Like, I don't blame artists who move overseas to get some success. Just look at Ricki-Lee, her last era was a complete flop sans Do It Like That, despite her album being a flawless collection of bops (yes I know Ricki-Lee gets dragged here, but I love ha, so no hate), basically all of the songs on that album could have been a single. At least she did get some promo in Japan. Do It Like That should have been a WW SMASH, but no, because of her label they didn't even try to make it happen in the US...
At least she's taken it upon herself to try to get some better producers on this next album though. She's been working with RedOne and a few other big US producers so hopefully the next album is full of quality BOPS and they try to market her in the US like Havana Brown, too. Ricki-Lee has everything it takes to slay, she just needs the right material and promo.
Also, I'm not even going to say much on Come And Get In Trouble With Me because I do kind of like it even though I know it was just a desperate cry for attention.

Yes exacy Wasn't here for her originally because I was stanning too hard for Azealia for me to take acknowledgement of Iggy's work but I am so impressed. She went over seas because she knew she wouldn't make it here with our terrible labels, she is making great music and making it big. I am glad she is Australian. Australia's first female rapper

Iggy slays and I'm so glad she's blowing up. She owes Australia nothing. The country in where she was born has nothing to do with her talent and the Australian music industry didn't support her so why should she give them special benefits?

All of this. DILT was such a potential smash. Record labels here have such low standards

and i'm still pressed that Delta could never crack the international market she had a taste of it during Innocent Eyes but it all went down from there |
Kylie and Delta both deserve international success. The visualise tour was my first ever concert. So many memories

The I'm Not Dead Tour, Funhouse Tour and The Truth About Love Tour
After the TTALT, I tried to throw myself infront of her car so if I died, it would be from my idol

But put aside Australia's terrible media, I see our country a great place to live. I feel like that we as people are easier to understand jokes and sarcasm a lot more then someone from another country does.

Thats what they all say including me but the thing is, I DID get a wave (When I was in the mosh and it kinda wasn't a wave, we kind of gave each other sarcastic death stares), she was about 4 metres infront of me and she came to the end of the stage and she gave me this weird look, so I done it in return and she waved me off
I don't let anyone bring me down even if it is my fave Was ready to drag ha

I know, but COTU still managed to quadruple Kiss Me Once first week sales. 8,000 copies, that's just embarrassing
Innocent Eyes was my first album too I still remember going in to buy it, I was so embarrassed. I put it in between a greenday and backstreet boys cd to try and disguise it

The Aussie media are claiming her as our own now that she's started to get noticed overseas. Payed her dust before tho
