Kylie Minogue: Classic or Dud?

Well I used to like Kylie - when I was about 10. Now I cant stand her. I too think she is completely overrated. All she can do is flash her bum, which has recently became a lot more pert. Mmmmm..... And her lips and her boobs and her personality, I reckon are one thing and one thing only - FALSE!!!

Years ago she did not have big lips. Her right eyebrow did not touch her hairline like it does now, it was actually lower than the left one if you look at pics! Her boobs miraculously grew when she was seeing Micheal Hutchence, and her bum doesn't have a crease on it!!! Every bum has creases when you stand up. I dont rate her music either. I agree Better than the Devil you Know was OK, but her recent efforts such as at the Brit awards when she had her ar*e hanging out again, she wanted to be 'cool' by mixing her song with Blue Monday. SOoooo wasn't good.

She is an overrated, plastic, old tart who wants to get some clothes on and give women dignity, not make them look like they are gagging for it. Hopefully she'll go BACK out of fashion, AND SOON!!!!!!!

She has a wonderful body but sadly only her mouth makes music.
If Im actually supposed to like her singing then shes a dud, if your comparing her to Spears shes classic.

Put Yourself In My Place is absolute classic. as is the title track to Light Years..

Wyndham Earl, Friday, 5 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think she looks beautiful, like a sculpture. I was a bit disappointed when I found out some was plastic surgery but then the plastic surgery-d parts are the dumbest - she could have done okay without the lips and breasts, I mean, it's the shiny smooth skin I think. She has also made her music kind of 'match' herself; I mean, it's superficial and shiny and surfacy. She is like a perfect package. However, I don't actually understand how it's possible to be like that. It's quite disappointing seeing her on Top of the Pops, when strands of hair come loose and she's wearing leather and you can see the grain.

kylie's great singles that have already been mentioned: confide in me, put yourself in my place, shocked, better the devil you know

kylie's GREAT, CONSTANTLY OVERLOOKED single: what do i have to do?!

kylie overall: classic. since when has it been about 'artistry' and 'singing'? i'm shocked that this stuff has come up.

More proof of how much criticism can be disarmed by becoming a Gay Icon. Every lapse of taste can be explained as ironic, self- consciously cheesy or deliberately camp. Critics who would normally be contemptuous of such mediocre talent are frozen by fear of appearing unhip or looking like they "don't get it".

Naomi, Saturday, 6 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I didn't know anything about Kylie until early this year and I think she's scary and fabulous. There's this part where she shrieks in "More more more" that sends chills down my spine.

Honda, Saturday, 6 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i'm convinced Kylie isn't a real person, she looks like a hologram.

that's what i want - hologram pop stars.

"I didn't know anything about Kylie until early this year and I think she's scary and fabulous. There's this part where she shrieks in "More more more" that sends chills down my spine."

YES!

It's amazing how Kylie jumped from my bad books into my good books with such a minute shift in style from the last album.

Tim, Saturday, 6 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

late Kylie is like late Bolan ergo CLASSIC

she's even become the cover of Siren

Paul, Saturday, 6 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

late Kylie is like late Bolan

not referring to the music
rather the persona

though some of the music (both's) is rather fine...

"..move on up, ya move on back
ya laser luv is like a ..heaartATTAACK!"

People seem to be comparing The Minogue with Britney Spears. Personally, I think there's no comparison.

Both of their music style's is of course not their own, but Britney has this 'thing' about her that makes you want to watch her. She does actually look like what she does in the photos. And when people go on and on, criticising her about wearing skimpy stuff - we have to remember she is only 20 and has to entertain. However, Kylie is nearly 34 and is still prancing around like an old slut with her plastic, pinned up arse and nobody says a word!!! When are the papers gonna see sense and slate her for the old tart she is!!! She is revelling in all of this attention she is getting, and its about time it stopped! OK, Spears is rumoured to have had a boob-job (and propbably has), but when do you see them hanging out of her top, like the goofy- toothed dwarfs??? Those pics from her Fever tour are ridiculous. Her boobs are pushed up sooooooo much, you can see the plastic popping out of the flesh!!! And have you noticed that there's not a smile from the pop- pixie? She is just looking down on herself, revelling in her plasticness. I dont know, I think the country has been brainwashed. It was that song 'Cant get you out of my head' that done it. It must have had some kind of subliminal message saying "MEN: You will all adore Kylie - she is the perfect image of woman; and WOMEN: You will all not care that your men fantasise about Kylie every night in her hotpants, you must love her and want to be her".

Well, I think I must have been one of the few that escaped her propaganda tactics!

Is there anybody else out there??????????????????

Felicity Collinson, Wednesday, 15 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

calling kylie minogue's breasts "goofy- toothed dwarfs" = best post ever

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 15 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm worried about the idea that breasts have teeth.

Ally, Thursday, 16 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

ilx like totally sux0r now!!!

Ron, Friday, 17 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Can't Get You Out Of My Head is classic, and one or two others have been goodies too. I don't have much idea how much credit Kylie deserves for these or how much blame for the awful, awful ones. She generally looks cute, though that hardly makes her stand out from several hundred other pop stars.

I'm really obsessed with the title track to Light Years all of a sudden. Hello, my name...is Kylie. I will be...your person - what the hell does it even mean? It's great.

Ally, Sunday, 2 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i bought the 'rhythm of love' cd recently, because of 'what do i have to do'... but it's only driven home how great 'better the devil you know' is. i love the synthesiser male back up singer bits:

kylie: "i'll take you back again"
male synthesiser 'oh' noise: "oh oh oh oh oh"
kylie: "i'll take you back again"
male synthesister 'oh' noise: "oo-oo-oh...oo-oo-oh"

i wonder what he's trying to say?

minna, Sunday, 2 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

'oh'

 

Josh, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's also not often-mentioned that Kylie is also CLASSIC for that rapping diva in "Shocked". And also CLASSIC for the poncey dance-in-beret that Kylie does while said diva is in command of the song.

Tim, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

She's getting very credible if the Kid Kreme and Erick Morillo remixes of her new single are a sign of credibility and since Subliminal Records are so good then I think they are.

Ronan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Being also vertically challenged, gotta go for classic, though "I Should Be So Lucky" should be shredded as a definite cringe-maker.

Thank god she got rid of the bad perm and reinvented herself....

Put it this way;like her or love her,would you have her sing at your Wedding?

Garry Coe, Saturday, 22 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

A little POO! (in honor of Keiko) --> "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" [Blue Monday Remix] - That one's a classic. Dud: Didn't she do that "brand new dance" the "Locomotion" ... ? I could do without that song.

I just picked up Light Years today and I'm really digging it. Of course every time I go to buy a Kylie Minogue CD I feel like I have to compensate in some way, so I also grabbed Ace of Spades.

Gear! (Gear!), Monday, 31 May 2004 05:31 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, me too. I always pack a Kylie CD in with something credible, so people don't look down on me.

Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 May 2004 05:37 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, and to prove I'm not taking the piss, Light Years is fantastic. Body Language sounds awful initially, but on repeated listening it really improves.

Pack Yr Romantic Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 May 2004 05:40 (twenty years ago) link

I've been looking for this for awhile, and I find myself unconsciously shifting slightly to the left if people come near to look as if I'm scoping out what Ministry has to offer.

agree on that last point too.

I dig it; upthread there's a lot of venom being spewed about her corporate plasticity.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:13 (twenty years ago) link

I like Fever enough to say classic without having heard much other stuff.
I like the "Slow" single, too.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:17 (twenty years ago) link

Impossible Princess, Light Years, Fever, Body Language....all excellent.

To tell you the truth I put on Fever a ot more than say, Rooty or Under Construction.

AaronHz (AaronHz), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:22 (twenty years ago) link

"a lot more"

AaronHz (AaronHz), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:22 (twenty years ago) link

she was probably sort of a dud when this thread got started, but she's not anymore. fever is pretty damned perfect, though i listen to "love at first sight" a lot more than "can't get you out of my head" (which i still like).

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:28 (twenty years ago) link

I like Kylie's rapping on "Secret".

Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:35 (twenty years ago) link

Body Language is perversely addictive. I hate enjoying it but I can't help myself.

Fever is inconsistent. Light Years is all bliss, except that horrid ballad thing in the middle. You skip that obv.

I like the "Slow" single, too.
-- AaronHz, August 22nd

I finally downloaded it yesterday and I'm obsessed with it now.
It's even better than I remembered - that synth part, that bassline, the whispered backing vocals in the chorus...holy shit, it's the best song ever.

It's hard to kill a horse with a flute (AaronHz), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:13 (nineteen years ago) link

The new song is quite, quite lovely, if a little short.

Any thoughts on 'Ultimate Kylie'? Mine are that the first disc is best used as a frisbee, but that the second is really pretty great. I'm surprised by how many of these I like. I can even cope with the Robbie duet and 'Spinning Around' in retrospect.

Really into it also. It’s a Raye joint, which you can really hear in the middle eight. I think there’s a version with her vocals on it that the Blessed Madonna was playing live. Not sure how Kylie ended up on it exactly but it’s fun to hear her doing something like this.

monotony, Friday, 23 August 2024 09:30 (one month ago) link

The lyrics are also very Raye

Tim F, Friday, 23 August 2024 11:03 (one month ago) link

That one-note chuggy section immediately reminded me of Boris Brejcha: Up Down Jumper, which I always play with the acappella from Texas Hold 'Em on top (get the two together in the right place, and it just sounds wonderful).

Lo and behold, it's the same note, same key, same rhythm, just 5bpm apart. So it's a Beyonce > Kylie mix for me tonight.

This single is so good and it's one of her best videos in a long time.

Crazy to think this decade alone she's put out Say Something, Magic, Padam Padam, Tension, Hold On To Now, Edge Of Saturday Night and now this. All instant classic singles that would add to her already incredible back catalogue. I don't know how she does it.
