I flippin love Kylie Minogue

LOVE KYLIE. Have you heard this yet????? There's a great remix that was floating around by PWL, (this isn't the mix I really like, but the only one I can find)but I can't find it. Hard to find, they've mostly been removed from the Internet......

R1 - No! I didn't realize she'd covered 'Night Fever'. Love it. I think this (below) is a better quality recording. Is this the final production or an early leak? Appears to be from some Bee Gees tribute album.

Good taste OP.

This one is a lot of fun (if you like this sort of thing)

R1 - did you enjoy Kylie's collaboration with Giorgio Moroder? It seemed to divide people, but I adored it.

She is an incredible live performer. You can actually feel the positive energy radiating from her body.

She's an icon.

Night Fever is a leak, it leaked a few days ago. I managed to listen to the PWL mix a bunch of times, but then anything I found was removed. The PWL mix is 100X better than what I can find now. There's supposed to be a movie coming out, I think a remake of Saturday Night Fever remake, can't wait!

I loved Kylie's FEVER album as a teen.

I like the studio version of "All the Lovers", but the live acoustic version is beautiful.

[quote]She is an incredible live performer. You can actually feel the positive energy radiating from her body.

R6 - that is a bit "Mary!", but I know exactly what you mean. The term has been rendered meaningless by the dreadful Simon Cowell & co, but she definitely has that 'x-factor'. Her big stadium tours look great on video, but it's live in person that the true superstar is revealed. I don't know quite how she does it, but she manages to be both this ethereal on stage pop goddess, lost in the reverie of the moment and yet, simultaneously, warm and approachable and real. Like you said, you have to really see it and feel it in person to 'get' it.

She also REALLY knows who her audience is.... (BTW, she wore this costume WAY before Gaga)

I'm actually surprised Gaga hasn't rummaged thru Kylie's career yet and plucked out her favorites yet.

What's everyone's favorite Kylie NON-single. An album track or b-side. This would be on my list.

This one has me groovin'

She said in an interview once, "I looked at the front row and it was four Muscle Marys and a drag queen and they knew all the words.... I had no idea I was so camp!".

I heart Kylie!

I didn't bother going to her New York show, and I've regretted it since. I hope she comes back, though I doubt it'll be soon.

R17 - she's actually played NY twice (with multiple dates each time) - on her first official N. American tour in 2009 and her Aphrodite tour in 2011. I think she'll be back again. It might just be NY and LA, but she'll be back.

And, yeah, you should regret it. The amount of spectacle she packed into venues 1/4 the size she plays in Europe and Australia was staggering. The entrance upon the giant chrome skull was, well, life-affirming. ;)

Seriously, how'd you miss that? Every gay in NY (and LA at the Hollywood Bowl shows) was there!

I wonder how many people hating on Beyonce in that CMA thread are soaking their panties in this one over No-talent, overrated, horse face.

Kylie is a terrific singer and performer. I am going to her Christmas show in the U.K. - and I am flying across the ocean to see it. She's brilliant live.

She's also one of the few performers left who doesn't take herself too seriously and still has a sense of humour about herself.

R18 My best gay friend who I thought was a sure thing to go with me suddenly wasn't that interested in her, and my partner who isn't that into music had no interest either. I wanted to go badly but kinda gave up on the idea because it was just going to be a pain in the ass with the two of them. So I've regretted it since, I suppose I should have pushed at least one of them harder. Next time she's here I'll go by myself if I have to, not a big deal.

A friend of mine who was at the BBC worked with her several times. He said she was the nicest celebrity he ever dealt with (he also said Air were nice) and a total pro. She'd hang out on set between takes and chatted with everyone. He was surprised she remembered him, but she knew him by name and gave him a hug when they saw each other. He doesn't even like her music, so there was no fan thing going on there.

This commercial is pretty cute and shows her ability to laugh at herself.

R19 I totally get the hate for Beyawnce, but how can you hate Kylie? There's nothing to hate about her, she seems like an amazing delicate person, and her music is fun and carefree, videos too. I can't imagine a thing to hate about her. Beyawnce Janet and Gaga, hate away, please.

Did the Kylie/Dannii duet ever materialize yet?

Speaking of Dannii, there was that 5 minutes when she tried to be like Kylie....

SOOOOooo much better than Imbruglia!!!!!!

The best thing about Kylie is she gets to fuck her hairy sex bomb of a fiancee.

Kylie and Dannii.

Dannii had a couple of good dance hits in the early 2000s.

I begin to wonder.

R20 - damn, that's dedication. I'm the furthest thing from a Christmas fan, but I watched Kylie's 2015 Christmas show from the Royal Albert Hall and was utterly charmed from start to finish. Even the new faux-retro songs were delightful.

She gets to fuck this!

[quote]Did the Kylie/Dannii duet ever materialize yet?

R24 - Yes! Last year. In the form of the blissfully ridiculous disco Christmas duet about a warm Australian Christmas, "100 Degrees"....

I grew up very close to where Neighbours is filmed - the actual street and the studio. I used to see Kylie and Guy Pearce regularly. They were often down at Forest Hill Chase after school. Who knew what the future held?

She's so very, very tiny in person.

Little known fact:

Kylie Minogue and Guy Pearce are actually time-travelling mercenaries who were sent here to make the world gayer in an effort to slow global population growth. They've since realized that they will need to go further back to stave off the precipitous rise in sea levels and the dwindling supply of food crops, so they have recently returned to 1973 to continue their mission...

I have loved her and (most of) her music since 1988. Here's how you make an entrance. Fuck Madonna!

Oops, goodbye, queen at r19! *click*

Saw her live in NYC back in 2009 and it was epic!

r237 - YES! That awards performance was amazing. What an entrance indeed.

I know this will make me sound like a mongo Pollyanna, but I genuinely think it's possible to enjoy Kylie without denigrating other female artists; Kylie's certainly managed to do that her whole careers. Okay, MOST of her career (this is too good not to share...)

I wish she sang this one more often. Such a jam.

So much sexier than Madonna! Loved that later period Kylie SAW sound, when she kind of launched them into a new creative renaissance (briefly) after their music became kind of stale in the mid-80's.

I love the cover of Only You she did on her holiday album.

She's a cunt. The end.

Love Her

It's a shame Pete Burns died and Kylie is still going. Wish we could swap.

[quote]I love the cover of Only You she did on her holiday album.

Shame it was with James Corden, tho. I prefer this duet...

This video would seem to sum up the Kylie & Dannii dynamic to a tee!

R48: The one on the left tried to pick me up on Grindr. This was two years ago. While I knew who he was and thought he was funny, I couldn't bring myself to even pretend to be interested in seeing a man who looks like a large infant naked.

Now, I kind of regret it because he kept mentioning his roommate. Turns out his roommate was Rebel Wilson and they were sharing a house together in LA. I only learned that later on when I randomly saw Rebel being interviewed somewhere and she mentioned who her roommate was.

I could've partied with Rebel (and the tubby one from Little Britain) in their LA mini-mansion. That was probably worth a HJ for the man-baby.

I know this has nothing to do with Kylie, but R48's video reminded me of that random encounter. And, I'm the OP, so... there!

Live duet with Nick Cave. She is flat-out charming.

She's a gay man trapped in a woman's body, once a DLer said

I hope the new album is out soon!!!! Kiss Me Once was very middling but I think I Was Gonna Cancel is SO underrated!

R52 - I agree. Some of the lyrics are...questionable, but I always thought "I Was Gonna Cancel" was a banger. And I never understood the virulent hatred most Kylie fans have for the video, either. I loved it's surreal-Gap-ad-aesthetic. It almost felt like the next evolution of the 'Slow' video concept. I mean, no, it's not as brilliant as 'Slow', but I love the style of the video.

She's the fag hag of your dreams.

For R52, a fun performance of I Was Gonna Cancel from Cannes

r53 the video did not deserve the negative reactions it got! did her fans not get that it is completely in-line with her videography? she's all about the fluidity and repetitiveness of motion! See: Love at first sight, slow, come into my world

R56 - I think most of her fanbase is European and AUS based. Us North American fans are a smaller (but passionate) group. Also, here in the US, Kylie really kind of dropped off our radars almost entirely in the 90s and early 2000s... it was like:

"LOCOMOTION" ****NOTHING FOR SEVERAL YEARS*** "OH SHE'S BACK WITH CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD! REMEMBER HER FROM THE LOCOMOTION?" "OH MY GOD 'SLOW' IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING, FORWARD-THINKING SONGS AND MUSIC VIDEOS!" "OOOH, ALL THE LOVERS IS A FABULOUS MID-TEMPO BANGER" ETC.

So, for the most part, US fans have spent more time with the forward-thinking, adventurous, stylish Kylie of the 2000s and 2010s. The European and Australian fans have had a lot more of "cute" and "camp" Kylie than we have. As a result, I think they probably don't like it when there isn't enough froth and bubbles and glitter. That's my theory anyway.

This should have been a hit in America.

She did make at least one attempt at gaining ground in the US in the early 90's with the Locomotionish 'Step Back in Time' and her duet with that Keith Washington guy. Both were failures in the US although huge hits across Europe. Her look at the time was based on her idol Ann-Margret, and Jane Fonda in Barbarella.

I want to take a chipolte shit inside her big, horse mouth.

R59, I used to work near the Bonaventure in downtown LA. Finally figured out why I'd suddenly and randomly get 'Step Back In Time' stuck in my head so often. This performance of that song is one of my favs.

Here's the full 'Night Fever' cover. SO GOOD.

I've always wondered as to what type of collusion or conspiracy prevented Kylie from dominating the States as well. Payola? Global marketing? Jealousy? Kylie has been a stunningly gorgeous and successful poptart spanning 4 decades, but not here. Hmmm. Florence and the Machine anyone? A conspiracy against foreign talent and competition?

In what world was "Love At First Sight" a MONSTER hit?

[quote]In what world was "Love At First Sight" a MONSTER hit?

#1 European Top 100, #1 US Dance, #2 in UK, #3 in Australia, #1 Greece, Top 10 in Canada, New Zealand, Denmark, Hungary, Spain, Poland, Italy, Ireland.

r63 her music is too gay and european. kinda like how Madonna's Confessions album wasn't super successful in the states but her biggest era in europe

Thanks R62! :) ;)

I love this one.

She has to have people hanging from the ceiling to deflect the lack of talent. Silly disposable dance music.

Look for Night Frver PWL remix R62, I'm in love with it but it keeps disappearing from the net

Judging from OP's link, it looks like she's taken over the Cher tour.

R68 that is the finest pop song ever!

Preview of the 5 new bonus tracks from this year's re-release of the Christmas album. I don't think any of them will equal the best of the original release, but 'At Christmas' sounds like a pleasant Christmasy retro-esque bop and I'm a sucker for 'Wonderful Christmastime'.

New...single?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Apparently random 90s songs with some bells and harps suddenly become Christmas songs. Ha. Well, it works nicely here. Though why is the song so flippin short?? The last 1/3 that really kicks into high gear with the big disco'y orchestra is so much fun.

More shots of her fiancee's naked chest, please.

Chest and PEEN, R77

Kylie's last original hitfactory song (partially written by herself) in 1992, pure Stock Aitken Waterman cheese.

Aw. And that pantsuit is so flippin ELEGANT.

Here you go everyone. 2017 album and tour confirmed. I hope she makes her way to New York, this time I'm going.

I didn't realize the Royal Albert Hall Christmas shows were this past weekend. After watching this FABULOUS performance of Night Fever (everything is on point - Kylie sounds wonderful, looks effortlessly chic and glamorous, the cracker band and orchestra do the original Bee Gees production justice and the mirrorball disco goodness is just perfect), I am SO jealous.

She's going to bring it next year, music wise. I have a big feeling this is going to be one of her best albums ever. People are going to be wanting that escapist ethereal europop with all the traumatic political happenings this year and Kylie is going to DELIVER!

Perfect R82. Thank you!

Great news, R81! I'd love her to go completely left field and get someone like Dev Hynes or James Murphy to Executive Produce, but I'm down for whatever floats Min's boat these days.

Me too. Whichever way she goes I'll be happy, cannot wait. Some refreshing pop disco fun music is what we need.... LEAVE OUT THE RENT A RAPPER NONSENSE KYLE, PLEASE, that's all I want for Christmas!

I saw her Royal Albert Hall show over the weekend and it was a spectacular show, one of the best I've ever seen. She really is a wonderful performer. If the show comes back next year, I truly recommend going. It's a transcendent experience. The joy from the audience is palpable.

You can tell she is in a great place right now. Her confidence is strong.

That sounds like such a blast, R87! Here she is performing on X-Factor, the day after her Royal Albert Hall shows. Not sure about the beret, but she sounds great.

[quote]‘If the job of a performer is to release an audience from themselves, unshackle inhibition and unite them in a communal emotional experience, Kylie Minogue achieved it memorably.’

[quote]★★★★

[quote] - The Telegraph

I'd love to see A Kylie Christmas, does anyone know where I can watch it in the U.S.?

Well, I know sex with Joshua would inspire me.

R90 - reports are that there were cameras filming this year's Christmas shows, but whether that's for a future broadcast, dvd sale or just Kylie's personal archive, we don't know yet.

Last year's gig was recorded and broadcast on UK TV and is on iTunes for about $15. I think it's 90% of the concert. This YT link might get taken down, but here ya go...

Love it (the jambroni in the white trousers aside)

KYLIE on Le Dancing With The Stars

r92 just watched the whole thing. thank you. i got my entire life from that and it was completely unexpected. i got the gay fuzzies when Dannii entered the stage.

R94, I know, right? I'm not even much of a Christmasy person, but I was utterly charmed.

Kylie said on the second show it may be a tradition. If it returns next year, GO. Amazing show.

Did you see Kylie's D at the show, R96?

As much as I like Kylie, Tina did this much better years ago

For someone who's only had one top five song she's OK

Tina seems cool. R98, but I think the Kylie's lighter touch suits the song much better.

Tina is good, Kylie wins.

I hope the new album and tour really materializes! I would be willing to travel to England just to see her!

R102 - It definitely will. She's apparently in talks with new labels right now. Hopefully she lands with BMG, they have more reasonable expectations for legacy artists and seem to understand how to support musicians who are well into their careers. And, she's definitely going to tour again -- that's where her bread & butter is -- and you need a new album for a proper tour, so, chances are... you'll get your wish.

I think Kylie's voice is so underrated. Yes, the tone is nasally and definitely grating for a lot of people, I understand that...but she's VERY polished with what she has and when she hits those prolonged high notes --- whew!! 😍

R104 - I so agree. She's not a powerhouse, but she knows how to work so well within her limits. Unlike, ahem, a lot of other female pop vocalists with bigger voices. Like in this killer performance of the delightfully campy Your Disco Needs You. We get rich, earthy chest tones in the verses, some spoken French and a big operatic(ish) finish in her fab head voice. And it's LIVE. Truly underrated.

[quote]I hope the new album and tour really materializes! I would be willing to travel to England just to see her!

R102 - good news, looks like we're getting to the first part of your wish...

Oops. This was for your R102....

Manny kind thanks to you R106! Made my day.

Last day to enjoy this one...

And this one...

SO looking forward to 2017 as it happens to be Kylie's 30th year as a pop icon!!! 👍

Holy smokes, 30 years, R110! That makes me feel old. Guess I've been a fan since I was in single digits.

I just watched this performance of Your Disco Needs You from the X Tour for the first time and I am BLOWN AWAY. This rivals Madonna's top performances from her peak years.

My interest in her music sort of drifted away with the last couple of albums but I really like her. Always extremely supportive of gay causes, dealt with some tough breaks (cancer, failed relationships) in a very dignified way and a consummate entertainer who doesn't take herself too seriously despite her stardom (I'm looking at you, Madonna!)

I thought Aphrodite was a brilliant album. Loved it!

R133 I agree she needs to focus on what she and her fans love about her best! She looks great, knows her limitations and has worked pretty hard to get where she is.

Always fun, upbeat and classy.

Love her snapchats!

Oh, this thread is about another Kylie...

Looks like our little Aussie pop princess is back in the studio...

this get me going

"Better The Devil You Know" was the moment when she went from the sanitized, teen pop Kylie to the "Sexy Kylie" we know and love.

She tended to score hotter dancers than Madge. Who was that one with the huge nipples on the Showgirl tour that created a sensation but was a hardcore Christian and left to direct religious shows. This isn't him, but it was on this tour...

R119 such a crime this song never made a dent in America. It is a CLASSIC. I mean, I get it. The sound is way too flirty for American audiences, and in 1990 American radio was filled with ballads and R&B

r122 agreed. So many terrific Kylie songs didn't make it North America, whether because they were not released here or because Kylie and/or her team chose not to promote here. She's always had such an indifferent attitude towards North America.

Everybody's Free to Feel Good live:

Aw, that's sad. Poor Kylie. I always thought it was a bad idea to include the guy in her music videos and concerts so, relatively, early in their relationship. He was a good looking, (somewhat) successful actor in his 20s. Perhaps they should have had an open relationship from the start!

Well, you're on notice, Sam Taylor-Johnson!

Guess Kylie won't be adding this one to her concert setlists...

it's a TIME BOMB

I would have been willing to share that hot furry fucker just as long as he came home so I cuddle up with that gorgeous chest every night.

very sad that it was clear to everyone but Kylie that that guy just used for publicity/to raise his star. i hope this translates into sad,heart pumping disco tracks!

It's a mystery to me why she's famous. She can't sing and her music sucks. Some other divas with no vocal talents like Madonna and Britney at least have a good amount of catchy songs, thanks to their songwriters and producers. And why do the gays love her so much?

Bump

R133 = Jason Donovan

This song and video (now 12 years old) are still stone cold classics. Ahead of her time, to say the least. Who else was doing anything remotely like this in 2005?

Fun fact, the video's choreographed by Mickey Rooney's son.

And, actually, it's FOURTEEN years old. Slow came out in 2003.

I hope she does her Christmas show again this year. If she does, make the trip to London - it's worth it!!

Honestly, I didn't follow Kylie until the Christmas album/dvd a year or two ago... which is the literal embodiment of delightful in every way.

Her songs were *HUGE* for some brief moments in time that I remember quite distinctly for some reason - first the "Locomotion" in the late-80s, which was played on the then-new Disney channel every 10 minutes for years; then the "Can't Get You Outta My Head" and follow-up(s), which were ubiquitous. That's the only song I ever remember hearing 10+ times in one day traveling throughout Manhattan. It really was... everywhere.

Love her.

It seems as she enters her 50s, she's everything Madonna wants to be... but isn't anymore.

Incredibly hot, ahead of the curve, fun, sexy and engaging. Look forward to what's next.

r139 exactly. sure, kylie isn't very innovative. was anyone ever expecting that, though? she's hit the sweet spot where expectations for her work aren't incredibly high, and she's carved a niche that's distinctly her own. seriously, no other pop singer has really *done* a sound like kylie: purely camp dance music that straddles between commercial and exclusively club.

New Kylie song. Well, not a Kylie-Kylie song. It's a guest vocal on the new Zoot Woman album. It's lovely, if a bit slight.

Need you tonight

This bitch is almost 50 years old!!!!

Her personality and persona make me want to love her music. I just can't. I like some of her songs, but after a while they become unlistenable. I get the comparisons to Madonna and I do prefer her to Madonna because she seems decent and Madonna is such a humorless self-serious bitterball. But most of their music, both of them, is just so vapid it makes my brain feel starved.

How can anybody not love Kylie?

Damn. 30 years. That's impressive.

Kylie Minogue

She's a living proof that gay people have terrible taste in music

I love the transition from Vegas jazz to Chemical Brothers banger after about 4:00...

Gorgeous rendition of ‘I Should be so Lucky’:

‘New York City’:

"Because she's never been huge or mainstream here in the US, she's often been able to be just-a-tiny-bit-weird."

I see no causality.
