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??????????????????

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'm really enjoying body language right now.
It's weird to me that all you pop crazy daftpunkbasementjaxxmissyelliott loving types don't cotton to Kylie.
Same thing, isn't it?

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:05 (twenty years ago) link

dude I love Kylie, I've got her last four CDs.

Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:10 (twenty years ago) link

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.

Gear! (Gear!), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:18 (twenty years ago) link

Was Slow nominated for ILM best single? If not shoulda coulda woulda.

Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:21 (twenty years ago) link

It's weird to me that all you pop crazy daftpunkbasementjaxxmissyelliott loving types don't cotton to Kylie.

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.

Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 22 August 2004 06:52 (twenty years ago) link

Has KM gone out of style, in a sense?

I mean, is her explosive commercial success of 2 years ago now eclipsed?

the bellefox, Sunday, 22 August 2004 10:38 (twenty years ago) link

i think it may have turned the corner yes, into what tho?

that's quite a corner to turn into, yes.

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.

hobart paving (hobart paving), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:22 (nineteen years ago) link

'Did It Again' deserves a revival

Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:34 (nineteen years ago) link

the FUCKERS have fucked around with the chronology of YET ANOTHER best-of! IT MAKES ME SO MAD WHEN LABELS DO THAT.

Otherwise, quite good.

CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:36 (nineteen years ago) link

They haven't with the DVD.

The only Kylie thing I bought was "Some kind of bliss" the nice 7" single. It's not on this.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:40 (nineteen years ago) link

The title not being AKA Charlene is a Popinjustice

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:54 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't remember that single...must have been during my Kylie Denial years - when did it come out?

I am thinking 'I believe in you' might be my favourite single of the year. This is odd, really.

hobart paving (hobart paving), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Her best singles were undoubtably I Wouldn't Change A Thing and her cover of Chairmen of the Board's Give Me Just A Little More Time, which I prefer to the original. of her recent stuff I like the one with the synth bit which sounds like Thieves Like Us which has several Kylies walking down a French street in the video. Can't remember the title, I'm having a "senior moment", sorry!

MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 16:15 (nineteen years ago) link

'Come Into My World', which is alright.

B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 16:23 (nineteen years ago) link

"I Believe In You" is like the singles off Body Language but even better. My favourite Kylie is sadly v obvious, "Confide In Me".

The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 16:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Yeah I love "I Believe In You" - it reminds me of Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principle's "Your Love"!

Her vocals sound great on it, and it's got that icy siren quality that made Fever so brilliant.

Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Thursday, 2 December 2004 00:34 (nineteen years ago) link

I like just about everything she's done except the "Loco-motion."

Hot Pants, Thursday, 2 December 2004 01:21 (nineteen years ago) link

little tease of "lights camera action" on her insta has me EXCITED, brings to mind gaga x charli.. "tension ii" out 10/18!!!

Her last three albums have all been LP length with later Extended Mixes versions that are an hour long

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.
