Kylie Minogue STILL Gives the Gays What They Want

Fist thread here...

I really hope she nabs the #1 spot on the charts and beats Little Mix who seem like yet another Pussycat Dolls or Fifth Harmony.

Me too, R2, but if she doesn't, she still has 9 more years to achieve that record.

Little Mix are talented, but I think Disco is a better album.

This was one of the highlights from Infinite Disco. Thrilling. Light Years-into-Supernova

beeb brekkie

Apparently, Kylie has pulled further ahead of Little Mix in the UK mid-weeks. Today is the last day of sales/streams that will count toward that potential historic #1 in the UK. Hits Daily Double's building album chart (for the US) currently as her at #23. Will be interesting if she does end up landing close to that on the official Billboard 200.

And how sweet is this? Gloria Gaynor showing Kylie some disco love on Twitter today...

Kylie on last night's Colbert...

She's done well with US promo this era. I think the lock downs and restrictions have actually helped her in a promotional sense.

She's still plugging Magic. I wonder if the general public like it.

There are so many fantastic options for the next single! I can't decide which is the best choice?????

She seems to be plugging both Say Something and Magic, depending upon the booking. She performed Say Something on Good Morning America and an Aussie show, Magic on Graham Norton and Colbert. Probably smart. She's not going to bother the top of the singles charts again, but obviously she's still a big album seller.

That's a strange moment in the Colbert clip where, after she goes upstage and is thrown into silhouette, she returns downstage with the mic pointed heavenwards while her lead vocal plays on without her...

But does anyone consider "Magic" the highlight of the album?

R12 - She's singing live, but she's obviously singing to a backing track. There are no live musicians on that appearance or on Graham Norton. Her recorded track is her "backup singers" for these appearances.

R13 - It seems some people do. I don't get it. It's perfectly... pleasant, serviceable. But the album has so much good stuff, I can move past that one pretty easily.

Apparently there’s a Basement Jaxx remix of Say Something on the super deluxe version of Disco

I cant find it anywhere but I bet one of you crafty folks has. Any good?

[Quote] She's singing live, but she's obviously singing to a backing track. There are no live musicians on that appearance or on Graham Norton. Her recorded track is her "backup singers" for these appearances.

If that's true, we'd hear a fattening of the sound when she returns to sing along with the track but there was none of that.

The Basement Jaxx is digital only at the moment. I think it can be previewed on iTunes etc. I'm not sure if it will be on the Japan edition CD, which hasn't been released yet.

R16 - I don't know what to tell you. Kylie isn't Brittany. I've watched that same clip and can very clearly hear her singing over the backing track. She's been doing this for so long, she's very good at making the "blend". I've seen her in concert a couple of times, once in a very intimate venue for a warm-up thingy and she always sings live and while no vocal powerhouse, she uses her voice adeptly. Because of how produced the sound of pop music is, most of the pop gals sing to backing tracks in concert and on TV performances. Sometimes they overdo that backing track -- Kylie included -- but she is one of the better ones.

R15 - The Jaxx remix is okay. Not their finest work. I'm not sure it was the right song for them to remix, to be frank. The manic nature of Monday Blues or the higher camp of Last Dance or Where Does The DJ Go might have been a better match for them.

There are several videos on YouTube of Kylie singing live where she manages to hit very high notes to the point of sounding nearly operatic. The end of Your Disco Needs You live from the KylieX2008 tour comes to mind.

It's BRITNEY, bitch R18.

Did she get #1?

She sure did!

Wow. Not only the #1 album, not only the 5-decade record, but also outselling all other #1 albums in the UK this year thus far. Well done, Kylie!

Kylie celebrates

Gloria Gaynor congratulates her...

[quote] I’m flashing back on this Friday to serving some major disco vibes in this outfit that I wish I still had in my stage wardrobe! ✨🎤💖✨ And in true celebration this weekend of all things disco, I’m sending lots of love & blessings to @kylieminogue for keeping the heart, soul, and positivity of #DISCO music alive, SURVIVING, and thriving with her new album! Congratulations on the new music, Kylie, the songs are beautiful!

I don't think it's official yet, but she's projected in at #23 on Billboard 200 in the US. Projection by Hits Daily Double.

[quote]But does anyone consider "Magic" the highlight of the album?

No. In fact, I think it’s one of the more plain songs.

The highlight of the album is “Supernova.” That NEEDS to be a single.

Madonna must be drunk and beating the twins now.

Meanwhile, Kylie Jenner is planning to be recipient of the world's first quadruple ass implant.

I wish I could rewatch that Infinite Disco mashup of Slow and Love to Love You Baby -- heaven!

#1 in Australia as well. Her 7th Australian #1.

Tina Arena seethes!

Natalie Imbruglia wishes she was there.

Gina G is slashing her wrists!

Charity single with Cher, Mel C, Robbie Williams and a million people I don't recognise.

Kylie's all over the place this week. Brilliant marketing.

I'm in the U.S. I've been a big Kylie fan since "Fever." I just ordered the "Disco" CD on Amazon. I've already listened to it though and it doesn't grab me like "Fever", "Light Years" or "Aphrodite." Hopefully it will grow on me. I was so disappointed by "Kiss Me Once" and "Golden" I wanted to support her move back in the right direction.

I will be interested to see how the album charts in the U.S.

R36 - if you can find it online, the Infinite Disco performance is such a treat. It helped me appreciate the album more.

r36 I didn't like the album at first. The songs were indistinguishable to me. Now I can't get enough.

Give it a few spins and I'm sure it will sink in.

Apparently, DISCO charted at #25 in the US. Her highest chart placement since 2010's Aphrodite and her highest number of albums sold in a single week since 2003's Body Language.

The album definitely gets better the more you listen to it.

I was one of those who weren't really into 'Magic' at first. But now I love it and have been singing it for days!

The Pitchfork review was brutal. I really enjoy the album.

"Your Disco Needs You" is not an excellent track. Pitchfork is already straining credibility with that one.

For crissakes the uber-gay shop-worn stanning hyperbole in these threads.

I love it.

Poor Madonna, cowering in a bathtub with pink hair, an asian lady freak face, and an ugly black boyfriend who is young enough to be her grandson.

Kylie — you are aging perfectly.

R41 - it's weird. I don't necessarily think that Pitchfork review was, technically, inaccurate or unfair. But, I think the writer failed to understand the spirit of what "Kylie" means to her core audience. Yes, she flirts with the experimental and the highly sophisticated (more in concert, than on record,) but either way, that's never been at the heart of who she is. You're not going to get a Roisin Murphy or Goldfrapp or Jesse Ware album from Kylie. She's going to camp it up and get rather 'obvious' in the lyrics, but she's so damn charming it works. It probably wouldn't work with another singer the way it does with her. It's also probably true that Brits and Europeans have a higher... threshold for camp than Americans.

(Also, sidebar, I'm not sure if this will get me thrown in Datalounge jail, but, I like both Kylie and Madonna and they serve such different needs, I don't feel much need to compare them.)

I think it's reductive to say something like "Kylie is camp! This is camp! This is fun! Why aren't you having fun!?" The vast majority of the new songs are uninspired. Kylie's best tracks had their finger on the pulse AND have aged well ("Better the Devil You Know," "Confide In Me," "Can't Get Your Out of My Head" to name three).

[Quote] I like both Kylie and Madonna and they serve such different needs, I don't feel much need to compare them.

I don't think one should engage with the poster(s) bringing up Madonna. It's clear they only want to trash her looks, lifestyle etc., which has nothing to do with this thread.

It's weak sauce, this album.

I finally figured out which song "Say Something" reminds me of: Alanis Morissette's "Crazy". The verses of SS sound a lot like the chorus in Crazy.

I think it's more than fair to bring up Madonna.

Kylie is showing her up in every way. And I say this as a lifelong Madonna fan.

She's not, though. Madonna jumped on trends and pushed them to their commercial heights. Kylie isn't doing that. Kylie's singing voice sounds better than Madonna's, that's all. I guess we'll see how Kylie sounds at 60...

Madame X was a pretty weird album. There is nothing weird about Kylie here, and it's not good lite disco fluff either.

Kylie got to number one through sheer force of goodwill from the public, people LIKE her and her music and, unlike Leatherface, Kylie didn't have to resort to including Disco as part of a concert package to up her numbers.

Madame X needed those Madame X Tour packages to sell anything because nobody gives a shit about Madonna's music anymore.

Even including Maluma on Medellin did nothing.

The only thing we'll see for Madonna's music future is her executive producer credit for her boyfriend's flop album which will end up in bargain bins.

[Quote] Kylie got to number one through sheer force of goodwill from the public, people LIKE her and her music and, unlike Leatherface, Kylie didn't have to resort to including Disco as part of a concert package to up her numbers.

Kylie used multiple formats to get where she's charted.

And? People are still buying the album, for the music.

You don't buy mutliple copies of an album at the same time for the music. You buy it to get your fave into the charts.

Where can "we" find Infinate Disco? I NEED to watch it!

Didn't someone post it upthread?

I forgot: We're on the second thread. Check the original for the link.

She’s breaking records with this album. I think Infinite Disco is on YouTube. Wonderful show!

I’ll still never forget how graceful she was when she had breast cancer and was going through chemo. She’s a gem.

Yes, I hate when cancer patients aren't graceful.

It's a masterpiece! We gay 💕 it! We want to marry Kylie and DISCO. LURV! 💕💕💕

This thread got weird. Anyway, I really like the song Kylie wrote about Mary Berry.

Kylie gets emotional at the end discussing her comeback after cancer. She seems to be a real sweetheart.

[quote]Madame X was a pretty weird album.

It was a just flat-out shitty album.

If Madonna retired after Ray of Light, Music or Confessions On a Dance Floor then she would be unmatchable in pop discography. But nope had to keep releasing flop after flop. Sure Kylie's discography never reached the level of quality of Madonna's when Madge was at her peak but Kylie consistently released fun and excellent pop albums and never lost sight of what her fans love about her. While Madge seems hellbent on being relevant with the kids today

With the exception of that awful country album Golden and that mess Kiss Me Once, Kylie has more or less had enough sense to stick with what she knows people want from her: pop/dance music.

Madonna on the other hand can’t accept that and insists are trying to prove to everyone she is an “art-tiste” and keeps doing all this weird shit that is just garbage. Kylie is smart for just embracing the pop/dance label and having fun with it.

Kylie is the Queen of Pop.

r64 - That was very sweet. What's everyone jamming to in week 2? I have to say, after a few spins the last two (standard) tracks, Unstoppable and Celebrate You are really clicking for me. Unstoppable is so effortlessly funky -- like early Michael Jackson or later Diana Ross. And Celebrate You is so lovely. It's undeniably syrupy, but the emotion feels true and earned.

[quote]What's everyone jamming to in week 2?

Dance Floor Darling and Hey Lonely.

I like those, too, r69. Celebrate You definitely conjures up Stuido 54 and riding a white horse through the disco.

[quote] Yes, I hate when cancer patients aren't graceful.

Honey, she actually went out and helped people and used her status to bring awareness. She never let it stop her living even when she thought she could die. She was an inspiration to millions. Not everyone could do that. She did it with class and grace and didn’t exploit the situation like Hagdonna would have done.

Miss a Thing and Supernova are excellent.

[quote] With the exception of that awful country album Golden and that mess Kiss Me Once

Kiss Me Once was a mess (thanks Jay Z) but Golden needed to be done and was a smashing success for her. Had she simply pumped out another dance album after Kiss Me Once she wouldn’t be having the success she’s having again now. She needed a break and needed to shake things up. It was getting stale. I actually went back to Body Language recently and forgot what an incredible album that was.

BMG really seems to work well for her. They’ve made two albums now hits and really promote her. The mess of Kiss Me Once had her cleaning house. She dropped her label and management. She was shocked how behind the times they were when it came to social media and streaming. Now she’s basically an indie artist but with a publishing company that also acts like a label.

R74 Sorry, I still think Golden sucked. I much prefer this album.

Not that Kylie needs to ape what the kiddos are doing, but I do think Dua Lipa's Club Future Nostalgia could be a great model for Kylie in 2021. Release an updated version of Disco with remixes, new high profile collaborators in 2021 and prepare to announce a new stadium tour for 2022 by which time, hopefully, we can get back to normal.

[quote]and prepare to announce a new stadium tour for 2022

You can wake up out of dreamland now. Kylie can’t fill stadiums, just arenas. Hence why she’s never done a stadium tour.

Dua Lipa's Club Future Nostalgia is amazing and though it features seasoned artists I think only a young star could create such a thing. The energy comes from the youth, like magic.

Dua Lipa's Club Future Nostalgia is amazing and though it features seasoned artists I think only a young star could create such a thing. The energy comes from the youth, like magic.

Yeah, maybe, R79, I meant more about that strategy of extending the DISCO campaign into next year by re-releasing a special edition of DISCO (just like Dua did with Future Nostalgia) so that she tees up a 2022 tour nicely. At the end of the day, tours are where Kylie shines (and, I imagine, makes the most $$$)

I know what you said. But DISCO is not magic, will not attract youth, and Kylie can not put a remix album that has any of the fabulous mix and references through dance music that Dua Lipa seemed to toss out effortlessly. Its the effortless feeling to it. That comes from youth an its magic in pop music.

Oh, no, to be clear, I did not think she should do this to attract younger audiences. That's not going to happen -- certainly not beyond the gays. But only as a way to extend the "DISCO era" as I have to imagine that when she's ready to tour the themes and feel of this album will ensure a very successful return to the concert stage. It would be a way to do this without waiting for the next 'proper' studio album era.

OK, stan. Wish for that.

I love disco. Those who don’t can, simply put, eat a dick.

[quote]OK, stan. Wish for that.

Yeah the Kylie stan on here is getting delusional.

For those who want to watch Infinite Disco, here's the full concert! It is start to finish the best thing I've seen in this horrific year.

some clever stan loaded that concert to a porn hosting site.

R86 link says “video not available”

Try copy pasting the link into your browser: noodlemagazine.com/watch/76168081_456239019

sorry, after /watch/ , input " 76168081_456239019 "

R87 Which porn hosting site?

If Kylie had skipped "Kiss Me Once", "Golden" and that orchestral album, she'd have a pretty flawless catalog too. If "Disco" had followed "Aphrodite" Madonna would have had to have been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric care facility.

you just go to noodlemagazine.com and use their internal search mechanism. It only has 173 views and is surely there to stay hidden from copywrite defenders.

R89 Thanks! The link works. I purchased my ticket, but scheduling didn’t allow me to watch the show. Lifelong Kylie super fan here, so was pretty bummed out. Thanks again!

R89 This is really good so far!

R81 you don't think Kylie or her collaborators could put out an album with samples and references similar to Dua's? The most recent sample on Dua's was 2006, so there wasn't any "youth" movement going on per se. Also, it was remixed by a DJ, not Dua herself, so how much input did she have with the samples and references? Madonna, Missy and Gwen Stefani are not cutting edge features either.

Kyle could ring up Giorgio Moroder and whip up something that would rival or surpass what the Blessed Madonna put out. Her Disco album is begging for a Moroder makeover. Dua's album sounded good on paper, but the execution was a bit of a snooze imho.

No, no, and no. What no one seems to be pointing out is what makes Disco stand out is that she didn't go the easy route: she didn't throw two or three disco covers on there, she didn't use samples from Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor or KC and the Sunshine Band, and she didn't bring in Giorgio Moroder or Nile Rogers--both of whom she's worked with in the past. She created something new without leaning on recycling the old. No samples, no Moroder, no anything Dua Lipa or whoever else may be doing. Let Kylie be Kylie. That chasing other artist's sounds is why US labels always fuck her up.

R96 my interpretation of the magic of Dua's remix album is all the dinosaurs are somehow reanimated through the alchemy of a young person at the core. I have said this several times. When old stars try to get that dance energy on their own, they cannot, ever. Pet Shop Boys can make a great disco album in their 50s but not a transcendent one. Roisins new album is much better than Kylies. Clever, chic and inventive. But older will always pale next to youth's energy in such productions. The young ones aren't better music but they are fresh.

A good dance album isn't easy. I don't like Lady Gaga but she did a good one this year. Not a great one.

Kylie's working left and right while Madonna is dyeing her hair pink and posting videos of herself performing witchcraft on social media.

R96 Kylie already did two songs with Moroder: Your Body and Right Here, Right Now. Both were released during the Kiss Me Once era. The problem with X and Kiss Me Once was that a majority of the best tracks from both eras weren't on the album.

Kylie has become the Queen of Pop while the former Queen of Pop, Madonna, has become the Embarrassment of Pop.

I unapologetically love “Into the Blue,” both the song and the video.

For that, I’m happy “Kiss Me Once” happened.

Yes, Into the Blue is a strong single. A bit underrated.

Into the BUUUUUHHHHHLOOOOOOOOOOO. That Frog she had as her BF in the Into the Blue video was hot.

She's doing the Jonathan Ross show December 5. Wonder if she'll perform the next single, whatever that is.

I'm surprised she's not doing the ARIA awards next week.

I guess no one watches it anyway?

Kylie on a Spanish talk show. It looks fun.

Kylie is a happy and sunny Australian. Madonna is a gloomy and cranky Detroiter/New Yorker.

R107 I like that analogy!

For Fucks sake, can we stop talking about Madonna?

No, we can't r109.

Madonna's pussy STINKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently there's a performance coming up in the next couple of days....

R111 - yes, there is. Kylie is going to be Dua Lipa's own Infinit Disco'esque live performance streamy thing, this coming November 27.

[quote]Kylie Minogue will reportedly join Dua Lipa‘s special livestream event, Studio 2054, this Friday (November 27).

[quote]Per The Sun, Kylie will duet with Lipa during the show, broadcast from a warehouse filled with custom-made sets.

[quote]“I am beyond excited to reveal that the legendary Kylie will be performing with me,” Lipa told the newspaper.

[quote]“She is one of my all-time heroes and female artists and the idea of collaborating with her is what pure dreams are made of. I adored her headlining show at Glastonbury and can’t wait for her to join us at Studio 2054.”

[quote]It comes just a day after the Australian pop icon named Lipa as someone she’d like to collaborate with on new music.

[quote]Kylie joins the other previously-announced special guests for Studio 2054, including FKA Twigs, Bad Bunny and J Balvin. As well as performing songs from her latest album ‘Future Nostalgia’, its remix ‘Club Future Nostalgia’ and her self-titled debut, a press release said fans can expect to see Lipa “move through custom-built sets, surreal tv shows, roller discos, ecstatic raves, trashy rocker hangouts, voguing ballrooms and diva style dressing rooms”.

This is cute. Dave Grohl and Kylie mutual admiration society on some Scandinavian talk show this week

RE: R112 - Dua made it happen, I guess...

Eww! I hate Dua!

Sweet Kylie. Her face looks over-filled in the promo tour. I mean, a noticeable shift.

R113 - geez, Kylie is just so lovely and fun to watch. Her beautiful personality just is so apparent.

Dua has okay songs but she repels me. She's so...chunky.

I'm gay but I'd pay big money to see Dave Grohl and Kylie fucking. That'd be so fucking hot.

Kylie is TINY and probably does not accommodate big rock star cock.

There was this, not that I have any sizemeat verficatia

I would not have pegged our gal Kylie being on the cutting edge of digital marketing, but this sounds pretty interesting.

[quote]Today, Kylie announces a brand new music experience titled ‘Disco Spirit’, a chance to be truly immersed in her music wherever you are via augmented reality for a limited time. Fans can access this via Kylie’s Instagram. ‘Disco Spirit’ will launch tomorrow 26th November at 7pm GMT. Fans will be able to access the experience through Instagram that will see the ‘Disco Spirt’ arrive and perform “Real Groove” as a glittering, ethereal spirit via augmented reality for one hour after which the filter will remain for fans to enjoy wherever they are. Instructions of how to use the filter will be available via Kylie’s Instagram Stories.

[quote]Kylie says: “Come dance with my Disco Spirit! I loved working on this project and having a sparkling avatar embody the spirit of my album, ‘Disco‘, is an absolute thrill; to be the first of its kind on Instagram is very exciting!”.

[quote]Kylie and her team worked together with Facebook’s Creative Shop to craft this unique experience, a global music first on Instagram, using Spark AR and Instagram technology. Drawing on the themes and visuals of the album, the visual style was conceptualised and adapted to 3D space and tailored for Spark AR and the Instagram platform. The avatar was carefully modelled to embody the spirit of disco by Simone (Creative Digital Studio), and then driven using motion captured dance moves. Handing this asset to Creative Shop, Facebook used in-house audio production to remix the track and tailor it to fit a performance narrative, and then assembled the experience inside Spark AR.

Gotta say, again, BMG is killing it with the Kylie promo.

Re: r74's post and Jay-Z/Roc Nation - I love Kylie but it was naive of her to think Jay-Z was going to do anything for her that would threaten his cash-cow Beyonce.

R123 I think everyone except Kylie knew that wasn’t going to end well. It was bizarre from the beginning.

Jay-Z and Kylie never made any sense.

I wanna see Kylie take Dave Grohl's huge dick! They'd be so hot together in a sex scene!

R123 - that's a silly take. I adore Kylie, but the idea that Kylie, in the 2010s, let alone at the height of her fame was ever a threat to Beyonce is ridiculous. I also doubt that Jay-Z himself was hands-on with every artist/client signed to Roc Nation. There wasn't some grand conspiracy, it was just very clear that Roc Nation didn't understand Kylie and had no idea how to manage her or her music. Glad that chapter is long behind her.

cover girl

R122 I don't understand anything you just posted.

Please explain.

R129 - you didn't miss anything. That turned out to be WAY too much hype for a chintzy looking Instagram filter.

Anyway, I wonder what Kylie is going to be performing on Dua Lipa's streaming concert. I hope she gets to do one of her own songs.

Studio 2054 was a blast. Unless this gets taken down, you can see Kylie's short appearance here...

A little freaked out. How are they keeping all those dancers and performers safe in Covid? I don't see any maaks abd they're all dancing against each other. In Kylie’s show, you could catch glimpses that showed the dancers were arranged to be six feet apart or more but filmed to look closer but this Dua Lipa show looks to be way too close.

One assumes they were all tested. And football carries on as well.

They didn't harmonize well, sorry. And the energy of this entire production is forced.

I do appreciate that they TRIED, to give us something upbeat and frivolous, so bravo.

[quote]L: Diana Ross at Studio 54, R: Kylie at Studio 2054

cute.

HURRY. This will definitely get taken down soon. For those of you who missed it, someone uploaded the full Infinite Disco performance here. (Note: I haven't actually watched this upload all the way through, but assume it is the full performance)

She kinda has to, the gays are the only people left that still listen to her music.

For those in the UK, Kylie is on the Jonathan Ross show on Friday, performing Real Groove.

R137 Of all the good tracks and she performs that?

LOL

R138 I really like Real Groove.

What song would you prefer she performs?

R140 - where did I indicate displeasure with her performing Real Groove? I agree, great song. And, presumably, the next single.

"Real Groove" is the top streaming Kylie song aside from her awful Santa baby song and the ageless CGYOOMH.

Dance Floor Darling or Supernova would make better singles. Real Groove will flop on the charts.

Jonathan Ross airs Saturdays

They are rebroadcasting her “Infinite Disco” show on New Years Eve. I had purchased my ticket to the original showing, but was unable to see it. I’ve since seen it, via a link up thread, and was thoroughly impressed. I might watch it again on the 31st, as I’m pretty sure I won’t be doing anything else this year. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend watching it.

Oh nice. I'm sure she won't have the same viewership as the initial broadcast, but I imagine she'll pick up some new viewers who got caught up on DISCO in the last few weeks of PR buzz. And, yeah, R145, I agree, wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who missed it. It was bloody fantastic.

Larry Flick is holding a fantastic interview with her on Sirius 54. Its so nice to hear her interviewed about her work by someone who obviously respects her without fawning too much over her--and to hear her also address her Anerican audience. This is a great hour long interview. If you have Sirius, look it up; I caught the tail end while driving home and was able to play the whole thing on the app.

r147 - that actually sounds interesting. Any highlights you can share with us non-Sirius subscribers? Especially her comments about her American fanbase (aka, homosexuals in major metropolitan areas.)

Credit where credit is due - Kylie has done an amazing job of building up and maintaining her fan base in America. Since 2000 that five of her albums have landed somewhere on the top 50 US charts generally is pretty consistent considering she did not gain much of a foothold early in her career. Of course, that her new record went to No #1 in the UK and Australia with ease gives her more time for her other markets.

[quote] Jay-Z and Kylie never made any sense.

She wanted America. She tried. They failed.

Great performance here of 'Real Groove' from 'The Jonathon Ross Show'.

Kylie looks and sounds really good at R9's link on Colbert. (quite heavily nasal toned in the lower vocal register verses or is that autotune?).

The song is OK - certainly one of the better of her recent releases.

That said - I have always liked Kylie as a person. She a super nice person and squeaky clean - similar to Olivia. Dannii has the better voice of the two and is more attractive in my opinion. But her career certainly isn't even in the same league as Kylie's career and never will be. Kylie has done amazingly well for herself but has never had any luck with the blokes though.

R152 Thanks for the comments Dannii!

You're perfection!!

You won't forget about me!!

Who do you love now????

Are you pretending you're Kylie Minogue R153?

R151 - Real Groove is great. Good choice for next single. But why does Kylie look like she's late for her hostess shift at an Asian fusion restaurant?

"why does Kylie look like she's late for her hostess shift at an Asian fusion restaurant?"

Madonna was Madame X, Kylie is Madame Wong.

Few people know that teenage Dannii Minogue was one of the inspirations for the Kim character in Kath & Kim. Gina Riley observed how Dannii would flip her hair and make the dramatic "oiy" sound combined with the eye roll. She incorporated this into her character.

Look at moy!

R23 well that is amazing. Good for Kylie.

R159 - I think AC/DC has since had a higher selling #1 debut this year, but they remain hugely popular with older listeners who tend to buy physical albums, so they can still climb to the top of the charts despite having lower streaming numbers. Anyway, good for them and good for Kylie.

Dannii looks great! And so supportive of her sis.

Who IS this Diana Campanella dancing lady?

She makes me nervous.

This thread has turned into an ass kissing thread rather than a thread about being honest about what songs are good and which ones aren’t. You can always tell who the ass kissers are when claim every song is good and get upset when someone says they don’t like a particular song.

R157 Actually I think it's Dannii's character on Home and Away that was the influence.......in fact, if memory serves correct, when Fast Foward did an Aussie soap take off 'Dumb Street', Gina Riley spoofed Dannii's character.

Fans in high places.

The F9 remix is out but it doesn't appear there is an extended version. Sad.

The F9 remix of which song, R166?

Say Something F9 remix.

R157 & R164 - actually the Kim character is based on Kylie Minogue. Not Dannii Minogue.

“My idea, especially with Kim, is that I like to dress her in what is available in the malls at the moment,” Stuckey told the Sydney Morning Herald.

“So I shop in the ‘cheap and cheerful’ women’s type shops and get the worst of that end of the fashion.

“Basically, it’s like any girl who’s reading the women’s magazines and seeing what Kylie Minogue is wearing and aiming for that, but not quite making it, as many aren’t — there’s a million Kims walking around shopping malls!”

Kylie and Delta Goodram on Delta's Aussie Xmas thingy.

Not disco related, but lovely all the same.

More US promo!

Is this a big thing in the US?

"this"

R173 'this' is meant to refer to the NBC New Year's thing, not the fabulousness of Kylie.

Who can say, in 2020, R174?

I hope she does "I Believe In You" in addition to one of the Disco songs.

I'm glad it's not a Christmas show or she'd probably do bloody Santa Baby again. It would be great if she did a mash up of one of her new songs with a classic disco (genre, not album) songs -- like what she did with Slow and Love to Love You Baby (but probably more upbeat for NYE.)

I just hope it's not Magic. It's cute... but so... limp.

Her strategy seems to be one live performance of each single in the UK and separate remote performances for the US. Following that logic we'll probably see 'Real Groove', which I think would be a good thing.

She posted the Slow/Love to Love You Baby performance on her YT channel. A little Boxing Day prezzie for us. I've enjoyed some of the live stream "events" from this year -- including Dua Lipa's fabulous Studio 2054 -- but none of the other girls bring the glamour and the seduction the way Kylie does.

That's a fantastic performance.

There are soooo many amazing versions of this song!

The one from last year on Graham Norton. And this epic...

R180 - agreed. The song seems to stand up to any treatment she gives it. Not sure if this is the Graham Norton performance you're referring to R180, but that mashup with Bowie's Fashion is SO GOOD.

According to Twitter chatter a new mix of 'Real Groove' feat. Dua Lipa IS coming out on New Year's Eve. The posts cite the song length at 4:22 which feels oddly specific for some made-up nonsense. Hopefully this is all true!

Kylie's on CNN's New Year's Eve thing. Presumably pre taped from London and far way from A&A. Other guests include...

[quote]John Mayer, Snoop Dogg, Patti Labelle, Jimmy Buffett, Carole Baskin, Josh Groban, Leslie Jordan, Dulce Sloan, Desus & Mero, Kylie Minogue, Aloe Blacc, Goo Goo Dolls and Jon Bon Jovi.

I'm surprised Kylie's Santa Baby version is a streaming hit worldwide even topping Eartha's . Though here in the US, the original is more popular but notable that Kylie even manage to outdo streaming queen Ariana Grande with her version.

Madonna's version was horrible and I say this as a huge Madonna fan. I hate the song in general, but I think Kylie's is the best version, even better than Eartha's. Madonna's came out long before Kylie's, in 1987, but never really took off although it came from a terrific album, A Very Special Christmas.

I like both Madonna and Kylie (and have met both in person) and I FUCKING HATE SANTA BABY! I HATE BOTH THEIR VERSIONS WITH A FIERY PASSION!!

I think I just hate "sexy" Christmas songs. Kylie's is awful because they have soundclips of her moaning or gasping sexually throughout the song. Truly disgusting. Just makes my skin crawl, and I love the Kylie songs "Sexcersize" which is basically her moaning for 3 minutes.

Madonna's is slightly better because she's singing in kind of a cheesy Broadway style with a weird NY accent.

I can't listen to Madonna's version. She's singing in that stupid, awful Nikki Finn voice from Who's That Girl, thinking she's being funny and completely unaware how obnoxious she's being. Can not stand her take on that song. Prefer Kylie’s only because it's at least true to the spirit of the song, even though I think the song itself is just a bad, overrated novelty which should have been forgotten once Eartha Kitt did her thing.

Kylie's Christmas album's cute. And has a lot more to offer than Santa Baby -- a nice mix of originals and covers. Like this Connie Francis song...

And the most ridiculous disco Christmas classic...

That fabulous video of Kylie's concert set of "Light Years" and "Supernova" is back on the menu after Kylie's people scrubbed it from the internet!

Yay!

Kylie's Christmas album is very good. I just wish Santa Baby wasn't on it. But it's popular, so I understand why Kylie and her team included it.

I think it fascinating that Kylie is on both NBC and CNN's New Years Eve specials.

Great bookings!

That was SUCH a great moment in Infinite Disco, R190.

Yeah, BMG certainly seem to know what they're doing, R192.

As expected, Real Groove ended up being a flop and never should have been a single. It didn’t even chart on the main UK Singles Chart.

Supernova, Hey Lonely, Last Chance, and Dance Floor Darling should have been the singles for this album.

R194 Ummm I don't think it's been released as a single yet.

So.................... perhaps keep your toxic negativity and foolish presumptions to yourself......... if you like?

R195 No you delusional Kylie stan - the single was released December 5th in the UK.🙄

The remix of Real Groove is exactly what I expected. Dua's barely present, they sped it up and they added some more typically disco'esque production elements. The original's better and Dua's presence is so limited (she doesn't even get a single verse or a solo chorus) that I have to wonder if they literally took rehearsal audio from Studio 2054 and layered it in here.

Real Groove was announced as the new single on 5 December. The remix featuring Dua isn't available for download until 31 December

I mean, probably best not to be officially releasing a new non-holiday single in the midst of the holidays, unless you're some massive and very current star who can release whatever they want, whenever they want. The timing seems to align nicely with the New Year's Eve promo she has, plus the second Infinite Disco performance. It's almost like there's some strategy behind it all..

As R197 said, very little Dua.

I like the bridge or instrumental middle or whatever they call it...feels very disco'y (lower case "d) and very Future Nostalgia'y and from thereon, it kicks off really nicely. Their voices blend together better than I thought they would. It's just weird that they asked one of the biggest young popstars in the world right now just to be Kylie's backing vocalist rather than making it a true duet.

Cute.

It's surprising a little that she performed 'Magic' and not 'Real Groove'.......I guess that means there is a 'Real Groove' US performance planned in the near future?

R203 - presumably they thought the sparkle of Magic was more appropriate for NYE?

Behind the scenes of Infinite Disco

She needs to hurry and write "Disco 2." It was a great album. She could probably do a "Trilogy" (Disco, Disco 2, and Disco 3) in short order and then have 30+ good new songs to tour when covid is over in 2022 - 23.

I really like the new mix of Real Groove. More disco-ish although, as others have said, Dua really doesn't contribute much.

And agree with r206 that she needs to at least do a sequel or a remix album with some new songs.

I agree, R206 and R207 -- disco (lower case "d") is obviously a sweet spot for Kylie, so extending the era with another album or a remix album makes perfect sense. I mean, Dua herself has shown the success of that model this year. I'm not suggesting Kylie would ever approach Dua's chart/streaming success at this stage in her career -- just that she could extend the Disco (capital "D") era this way.

Wasn't there a rumor going round that she was going into the studio with Jessie Ware and her What's Your Pleasure producer?

r208 - i agree, and "disco (lower case "d") is becoming a kind of evergreen music genre that's been scurrying around for the past 10 years. If Kylie could do her "Disco Trilogy" whilst Covid is going on, she'd have have a fantastic addition to her stellar discography. Apparently she is quite the whiz in the recording studio now, tracking and recording her own vocals.

Yes, though, I'd hope that if she does record some kind of partner to Disco, that she doesn't work with Sky Adams again -- he seems intent on making things as loud and tinny as possible. There are so many more skilled producers she could work with. And, with the commercial success of Disco, I'd hope she'd be a little more open to longer, more expansive and atmospheric disco tracks. Sort of the late night, 4am accompaniment to the 8:30pm Disco.

Lay off the pork pies, Kylie.

New Real Groove remix. I like it.

But this one's better.

I love the Claus remix. (I love the album version, too, but this remix just takes it somewhere more hyper and clubby.) Kudos to her and the label; this has really been an amazing run after leaving Roc Nation/Warner Bros.

[Quote] I'd hope she'd be a little more open to longer, more expansive and atmospheric disco tracks. Sort of the late night, 4am accompaniment to the 8:30pm Disco.

The best you'd get in that vein would be a remix EP. People think Kylie is all the way gay. She's not. She's as much of a Hen Party / Mom fave. She'll always be more pop than club.

I agree, R214, BMG was the perfect home for Kylie.

Dannii would be more open to the atmospheric, trance remixes since she already did that with songs from Girl and Neon Nights. She even recorded a chilled-out version of Xanadu.

Kylie looks good!

This album disappeared fast. They chose shitty singles.

She should get Tom Moulton to make extended remixes.

Yeah, they need to revive this era. It was going smoothly and now it just seems like "that'll do".

I think the "era" may be over. She's moved back to Australia to be close to family.

I would like to think with Australia opening up to small tours and productions, she could do an 'Intimate Disco' tour.

Just a thought.

I got tired of the album pretty quickly, but enjoyed it when it came out. If I were here, I'd put out a Disco 2 pretty quickly.

She's apparently working with Jessie Ware on something. (Source: interviews with Jessie Ware)

Interview with Kylie's record label boss. Sounds like DISCO has been doing well and they plan to continue promoting it throughout this year.

This remix is such fun!

Late 80s vibes.

Initial Talk sucks. He does the same dry ass "80s remix" every time. Use some reverb, bitch.

Yeah, that remix is not for me, but I've never been a fan of that particular late 80s sound. The video's super cute, though.

Someone on Facebook posted that Real Groove just reentered the Australian chart at #1 but I couldn't tell from the wonky wording if this was correct or just a #1 on one radio station.

Let me check my Itunes thingy...........

nah.........not in top 200 :(

Oh, then there's this, whatever it is???

^ Put the link in the sign post because I'm drunk....

Dance for Darling is the next single. Apparently a new, updated single mix of the song, with some new vocals, has been sent to radio.

Yes! Hopefully a video, as well. A single only really feels like a single when its got a video.

I love Dance Floor Darling. Gotta love that tempo change.

I had a live stream of BBC radio playing today in the background and randomly heard Dance Floor Darling. No idea if there's a way to listen to it on demand, but it is definitely a new mix. I only heard it once, so forgive me if I misheard anything, but I think....

- The pre-tempo-change part of the song (the first 2/3) is actually now at a slightly faster pace -- slightly less mid-tempo. It's subtle, but noticeable if you're used to the album version. This actually makes the change to the latter 1/3's tempo change a little less bonkers... it feels a touch more organic. But the song doesn't feel rushed at all.

- The production has been 'amped up" throughout -- it feels a little more muscular, there are added drum fills, fatter synths and some general "sheen" added to the production (but if you liked the original, you'll still like this.. perhaps even more)

- I'm 99% sure she's recorded some new vocals throughout. At different points of the track her vocals feel more prominent and she's recorded new ad libs. Her voice feels more "forward" in the mix -- which is a good thing.

I'm not always a fan of single mixes, but I think they've done a nice job on this one.

Dance Floor Darling is a good choice.

[quote]Dance for Darling is the next single. Apparently a new, updated single mix of the song, with some new vocals, has been sent to radio.

About time they release a decent single. Unfortunately I worry it may be too late to revive interest at this point.

At 51, my love of pop was on a wane with the car radio tuned to classical music & news.....then I discovered DISCO and I’m an obsessed lil dance queen again!! LOVE IT!!!

R51 This album, much like Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia” couldn’t have come at a better time. We needed something to shake off the sadness.

Whoops. That last comment was for R240. Sorry R51.

She's going to be guest on Drag Race Down Under.

How bland R243.

I have never been able to get into her.

She seems very likable as a person, but every time I have tried to like her music because it seems like everyone else does, all I hear is generic dance music with meaningless lyrics.

She's always compared to Madonna, but like her or not, all of Madonna's music makes statements, and I just don't hear anything but cooing "la la la la la la lala" when I listen to Kylie.

What am I missing?

You nailed it on all counts R245. You're not missing anything.

Are there going to be anymore DISCO singles or is it all wrapped up? Seems like she kinda packed up the campaign to go back to Australia and spend time with her family. Don't blame her, obviously. I imagine her parents are getting on.

R245 I don't know if I'd say *all* of Madonna's music makes statements.

I wouldn't call "Holiday" or "Girl Gone Wild" deep.

R248 I didn't say deep, but most of her music does say *something,* at least after her first couple of albums--not including Holiday and Burning Up, etc.

I agree about Girl Gone Wild and some other songs, including ones I like, like Get Together. But still, they are exceptions in her career. Most of her music says something, and as a person, she never stops making statements.

She is utterly unlikable, but Madonna is interesting. Kylie seems pleasant but uninteresting to me based on what I've heard. I do like the "la la la" song but it's vapid. I feel like Sophie Ellis-Bextor deserves at least the kind of career Kylie Minogue has had.

Madonna's music says something?

Successfully?

Not well.

Why the fuck does Madonna always need to be brought up? She has nothing to do with Kylie.

I think the Disco era is over. What a flop. Sad, because there were some good songs on the album, but they were never singles.

Don't you all get sick of all this comparison shopping? It's possible to simultaneously like more than one pop singer. They're both great.

And, no, Kylie's work has almost never been as serious minded as M's. I think you'll find that Kylie takes her work very seriously, but she doesn't take herself too seriously. It's part of her charm and probably a key to her longevity.

'Disco' has been nominated for a Billboard Music Award!

Who saw that coming????

Who dat?

R255 you mean girl! !

Happy birthday Datalounge!!

There is a new cool track by Olly Alexander's (It's A Sin TV show) band Years & Years feat. Kylie called Starstruck.

R258 - I actually think Kylie improves the song.

"Starstruck" is not very good, is it?

Kylie should have locked Jessie Ware down in between pregnancies. She'd have a better disco album.

I was surprised by how fast I got tired of this album. To be fair, I only liked 4 of the songs on it.

R260 - I think Kylie and Jessie W do have an upcoming collaboration; perhaps for Kylie’s reissue of Disco?

Yes, it's been said that there's a Jessie Ware song AND an (unheard) Olly Alexander song on the upcoming deluxe.

Kylie does Gaga...

I don't even really remember the Gaga song, but it's a nice cover.

[quote]Kylie Minogue STILL Gives the Gays What They Want

What is it that Gays want?

I dont like or dislike Gaga but I hated that song when Gaga did it. . .but I really, REALLY like Kylie cover. This better not get wasted as a promo cut. This should be full-fledged single with video. And if the rumored Disco expanded edition is true, this should be on there, right before Supernova.

Supernova is the worst song on the album. The lyrics alone are inane - "Shining like a supernova, brightest of the stars. From another galaxy, like Jupiter and Mars."

Honey, Jupiter and Mars are in our galaxy.

R267 There are countless trashy and nasty songs with lyrics that are garbage (WAP) and you’re bitching about this? Wow.

R268 You are right, 'Wow' does have trashy lyrics.

R268 Do you have reading comprehension issues, dear? I'm speaking of the songs on Kylie's album, not pop songs in general.

Good talk.

Supernova is the worst song Kylie ever recorded. This is from a third party.

R271 Then don’t listen to it.

That's ridiculous. She's recorded far worse. Supernova is good ol space disco fun -- nonsensical lyrics and all. She also had a KILLER performance of the song on her Infinite Disco streaming concert thing.

Kylie knows how to marry the silly with the sublime like no one else...

R273 For example...

Ooof, R274, that's even worse than Absolutely Anything and Anything At All.

Sorry, I will always dislike Supernova. I think I just hate that chord progression and beat. I like lots of her other songs tho.

Agree on Supernova. It took me a while to get into a few of the songs on Disco but they all grew on me apart from this. Something about it stresses me out, I find it horrible to listen to (so obviously I don’t anymore).

Yes, I always skip Supernova too.

I love Monday Blues more and more though. I think that and Fine Wine are my favourites from the album.

R278 Those songs suck.

Just listened to this today. Every fucking song sounded the same. I truly dont remember a single one.

She needs to go work with whoever produced Spinning Around again.

She needs to work with Stock Aitken Waterman again! If you're gonna do poppy disco, do it right.

Ha, I’d say give it a few plays if you’re a fan of any of her other stuff. Obviously if you don’t like her generally it may always sound all the same/crap.

R282 their most recent work with her was a remix of Every Day's Like Christmas and, honestly, it sounds super dated. They don't have "it" anymore.

I hope she does some classic disco (lowercase "d") covers whenever she tours again. This is as perfect a cover as I could imagine.

[quote] I think that and Fine Wine are my favourites from the album.

If the Sex And The City reboot don't use Fine Wine on the soundtrack of the new series it will be a hate crime.

Frankly, I'm shocked she hasn't used Fine Wine to promote her Kylie wines which are apparently selling like crazy.

Will there be a remix this album or not?

Yes......maybe.......perhaps..........not sure.......it's getting late in the year..........so................I dunno.

It does seem like a long gap. I imagine there are probably two things contributing to that -- one, they're almost certainly going to try to tie this re-release to a tour announcement, but all of the Delta-related covid spikes are probably causing further delays in those touring plans. Two, artists like Kylie make most of their music revenue from physical copies and less from streaming. There is currently a global shortage/delay in vinyl production materials. If Kylie's team hadn't pre-ordered the vinyl several months ago, they may be behind other artists who have vinyl on order.

Or maybe she just wants to sell more wine. Seems to be doing well for her.

Everyone must admit that the first 15 seconds of "Supernova" is a total assault on the ears and musical sensibility. I will buy whatever repackaged version of "Disco" she releases, be it Vinyl/CD/Minidiisc/cassette as long as she censors those truly offensive moments of "Supernova." Some say it is the worst Western music that has ever been recorded.

R291 - Calm down. It's just a campy space disco robot voice, Uncle Bottom.

Holy shit. Can't Get You Out of My Head is TWENTY years old. I'm a dinosaur.

Kylie performed Dance Floor Darling and a disco-fied version of Can't Get You Outta My Head at the big Global Citizen thing happening this weekend. Lovely.

New 'Guest List' edition of Disco seems to be coming....

R295 - [QUOTE]Sorry, this product is no longer available on our site.

Damn. Fever is 20 years old. That makes me feel ancient. Love the album cover. It felt very Grace Jones.

Ok...........here is the Disco re-release, bundle thingy. It's the 'Guest Edition' apparently.

Really, I'm only excited about the Gloria Gaynor collaboration.

I ordered the 5 disc set an hour ago r298. Delish!

Gloria Gaynor! Didn't see that one coming. I'm meh about the Years & Years duet, but excited to hear the Gloria Gaynor and Jessie Ware duets.

Um. Yeah. I don't know about this. I'm sure Olly's a nice chap and he obviously loves Kylie, but why does this feel like some Make a Wish kid won a contest to make a video with Kylie?

R301 I like it! Catchy and unashamedly fun!

Thank you, posters. This thread makes me want to binge listen to Kylie until I get it/get her. Because I haven't yet. As it stands, I only love one song of hers: "All the Lovers" is beautiful and flawless and gets me in the gut (transalation = I tear up) every time I hear it.

R303, if you like All The Lovers, other Kylie songs which may appeal to you are...

I Believe In You

Say Something

Crystallize

Lost Without You

Kiss Me Once

White Diamond

Silence

Change Your Mind

Cosmic

The One

Fragile

Breathe

Is anyone else hearing this in the new song? Could Olly (who wrote the song, I believe), be in a bit of trouble here or this is a case of "similar, but not the same"?

R305: yes! It’s been bugging me since I first heard it a week ago what song it reminds me of. I think there might be a bit of this in there too, though that could just be because Kylie sings the word ‘maniac’.

I'm not the biggest Years & Years fan, but this song has REALLY grown on me over the last few days. It's pretty damn irresistible. It feels very 70s and 80s all at once.

Olly & Kylie live on BBC.

The second new track from the DISCO re-release is here. Her collab with Jessie Ware. Fans of Jessie's What's Your Pleasure should enjoy this one. They sound great together. I wonder if they did a video for it, too.

[Quote] I'm not the biggest Years & Years fan, but this song has REALLY grown on me over the last few days

It feels more Biffco than Y&Y.

Ah, R310, that explains why I like it so much. Love most of Biffco's work with Kylie.

I like them both.

Not so much on first listening, but they become ear worms after multiple plays.

R309 Apparently there is a video coming very soon...

What is um... what is going on here? These are apparently from the set of the new music video for Kiss of Life. It's not the most flattering look for Kylie. I'm getting very Patsy and Eddie in a horror movie vibes here. Interesting, unexpected vibe. Also... in that first photo, is Kylie wearing a weirdly inflated prosthetic left hand??

Extended Mix. LOVE.

A 5 star experience

R316 - Ha. Wow. That is very... camp.

Fun video and fun song, nice groove with a cheeky wink.

Ohhh, what do you think of the last single, duet release...........it's with Gloria Gaynor!

I like the cool, laid back vibe man.

All in all, 3 great collobs, I'd say.

R319 - says "video is unavailable"

Weird, it's uploaded to her official YT channel too. I wonder if it's only available in Australia due to time zone issues and will be available here later tonight (midnight perhaps?)

Meh...

Looks like it's available in the US now as well. I love it. It's a slinky slice of disco funk and they both sound great. Isn't Gaynor in her 80s now? I wonder if this all originated from Gaynor praising DISCO (the album) on her socials last year.

This is so fabulously camp! Kylie knows her audience.

Her look there is better than in the music video.

Jessie isn't a natural performer.

R326 - To be fair, Jessie doesn't have Kylie's stage presence or ease, but Kylie doesn't have Jessie's voice. Also, although this song was co-written and produced by people who worked on Jessie's album, the song's campness is much more in Kylie's wheelhouse.

The artwork for the re-release is so much better than the original artwork.

It's less arresting, certainly.

Kylie was a knockout at the British Fashion Awards last night, performing her mashup of Slow and Love to Love You Baby in a Richard Quinn floral bodysuit. Small clip here... (hopefully the full thing will be released)

Lots of stills here. She looked fabulous.

Great performance and styling!

Agreed, R332. I wanna see THIS Kylie on tour.

A professional recording.........not Disco, but amazing!

^ I don't know what the f^ck I'm doing...

R335 -LOVED that. It's funny that it's presented by TikTok because it's a clear example of star presence that cannot be taught or imitated, no matter how many TikTok followers you have. You either got it, or...

The extended mixes are up on Youtube, and they really are wonderful.

They give the tracks more meat, funk, fun and joy!

^*eyeroll*

NYE in London. They're quite adorable together. You can tell Olly's living out his gay fantasies singing with Kylie.

An American asks, who’s considered to be the better vocalist, Kylie or Dannii?

Kylie is even more of a horse face than SJP. Her teef and head are insanely equine.

I love how the extended versions were originaly announced as vinyl only and then a month later were released as downloads. Queen of ripping off fans!

Many artists have had to delay vinyl releases. You know, 2 years into a pandemic and whatnot.

R342

I disliked this album when it came out but a month ago I played it again and now I really like 3/4 of it.

It's kinda fun seeing some of these reaction videos from people totally new to Kylie. This young lady is more articulate and perceptive than the average YT "reaction vid" streamer....

[quote]An American asks, who’s considered to be the better vocalist, Kylie or Dannii?

Both are nearly the same. Dannii's voice is a bit deeper, perhaps touch richer, but with nowhere near as much range, or as strong or clear as Kylie. Dannii did start as a child singer, Kylie late teens.

Your link and "pandemic" comment do not prove your point, R344, R343. The point was they were announced as VINYL ONLY (and I had my vinyl before they were released to download) and then, after vinyl was shipped, released as downloads. Nice try, though.

Then make your point more clearly R348. Your post did not say that the vinyl had shipped, only that the extended versions been announced as vinyl only and then a month later released as downloads .

Without you providing the crucial detail that the vinyl had shipped, I was offering a possible reason why it had been announced as vinyl, then released as a download. Many artists are experiencing delays due to the vinyl shortage.

Nice try, though.

^had been

The point was clear. What part of VINYL ONLY is ambiguous?

I’m enjoying her music on YouTube. Her sister Dannii as well. I remember Come Into My World because they played the video at my watering hole for forever.

There is a big difference between announced as vinyl only (as your post stated) and vinyl had already been shipped (not stated until your follow up post).

It’s a post on message board. In the grand scheme of things, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.

And yet...

Is she working on a new album? “Disco” fizzled out fast.

Alright, alright, girls. You're both just... terrible.

Spinning Around is sublime. And she’s rocking that pair of shorts.

Kylie looking fabulous in Versace AT the Versace show in Milan...

And in another 2022 Versace dress at the same event. Wonderful.

The last video from the Disco era.

Gloria Gaynor collab!

I like it!

R360- that video is cheap as fuck, but Kylie still makes it work -- that's star quality you can't teach.

can't stop writing songs about you is really growing on me. It's not that I actively disliked it when it was first released, but the video's helping me get into it. Love that bassline.

Kylie and some hot young thing shill for Unilever. Hey, it's a living.

Dannii had good songs. It's sad only gays or clubbers know Kylie and Dannii in The US. But I feel neither of them care, they make enough money globally in Europe and LatAm.

This is random. Kylie at Met Stadium performing as special guest of Coldplay the other day. I'm not generally a fan of acoustic/unplugged versions of dance songs, but she sounds great here.

I've never been a big Coldplay fan, but Chris Martin seems like a super nice guy.

Vogue interview (and behind the scenes photos of her -- random -- gig at Cafe Carlyle.)

Very interesting to hear her say that 'Slow' is an inspiration for the new album she's recording -- both in terms of the sound and in terms of pushing her boundaries. I LOVE that for her.
