The World's Queen of Pop
Sean says...
So thanks to fellow Vox neighbor Mark and my real life friend Randy, my Kylie Minogue obsession has been rekindled again! Unfortunately, Kylie's new album "X" doesn't seem to be coming to the US stores anytime soon. The only chance I have at it is either on-line or by getting my "triumvirate" member and best mate's in-laws importing it from Australia! So thank god for YouTube! Screw iTunes' intercountry blocks!
Kylie, I would argue, is the World Queen of Pop. She has been around 20 years, has Top 10 and 20 hits around the world, and says she lives in Los Angeles because its one of the only places on the Earth that she wouldn't be recognized (except of course West Hollywood as many of us know - wink). Why in the world she never took off in the USA I will never know. She isn't the greatest singer, she doesn't give into the raunch that Madonna does sometimes, and she usually stays out of the gossip rags but she is just a great constant. My friend and fellow fan Jim tells me its probably because she is mainly seen as a dance music star here. But in the end she survives and gives us the gift of her light song. And she is really incredible with her gay fans.
Enjoy!

You can still get it if you know how. (Hint: Bit Torrent). I'd have burned you a copy, except that, tragically, my laptop died this week, taking with it my unbackedup music collection.
I agree with you guys Kylie Minogue was once my all time favorite female artist but I haven't heard much from her after she announced she was fighting breast cancer back in early '03-'04. But it's good to know she's out there performing somewhere in the world. I'll have to try to import her album.
Hey guys-
Kylie is WONDERFUL. It truly is a shame that after "Fever" had some moderate success stateside, she never really took off here. It's terrible, really, since she is amazingly talented and supremely entertaining! The U.S. just doesn't embrace dance and pop music the way the rest of the world does. Instead we're subjected to hip-hop GARBAGE, tired alt-rock, and bland country music.
While I'm a huge Madonna fan, Madge sometimes gets a bit too introspective and heavy-handed whereas Kylie just keeps it light and fun....
Nice to see her doing well after her bout with breast cancer. I LOVE the new CD and "Wow" is just a delightful little pop nugget. Classic Kylie!
