Enuff with the Walk-outs.

She sings for the Lovers. For the Love.

" To all you haters... I ain't singin to you . It's about the Lovers. Leave the stress at home. Tell the drama 'no'. You ain't gonna kill my vibe.This song is about You."

She sings with such eloquence in her opening up-tempo song from her #1 Debut album 'I Look to You' , at the start of her world tour which opened Down Under .

Yes, there are the nasty reviews circulating out there right now about her purportedly mediocre 'breathless' performance and all the drama about audience-walkouts and wanting refunds.

Give her a break ok?

She's not done this for years and is starting an exhausting world tour. She's not hyper 16 'Miley Cyrus' you know?

Too all the nasty critiques out there, here's my 2-cents worth: If you're so good, people would have been paying to see YOU.

But you're nothing more than the hundreds of millions who've seen HER.

So stop the ego-fuelled 'I've got standards' walk-outs you've done to Britney and Whitney.

It's not as if Kylie would do any better dance or song , that clearly, both of which are better at .

Period.

Q ....If you've bought tickets just to be there and hope to see a train wreck, and have something to spill on your own disgruntled life with that "I should be famous too " thought , there are much better ways to spend your money. Like watching the kangaroos watch you and thinking 'Ewww, what's this toad of a human doing in our beautiful wilderness, and quickly hop off.

F-E-V-E-R 4-E-V-E-R

Shivering from the inside.

Warm on the outside.

The pain radiating from the bones.

No appetite but my hunger pangs are killing.

Not wanting to drink but I am dehydrating.

I have no energy to move a single limb.

I am badly in need of an icy shower but am shivering and not even an ounce of energy to get out of bed to do so.

I feel like having a diarrhoea and I feel like puking. I feel bloated but none it is.

My mind wonders in dillusion.

I lie in bed and get ravaged helplessly.

Only one thing .. Death.

But even Death wouldn't come obviously.

Q

> Over-exhaustion. Over-working. Long unforgiving hours. Bad weather. There the perfect formula for a Living Death.

Painted Faces

We often associate make-up with dramatics.

Like these:

Kylie Minogue
MAC Barbie range (models; ad)

Sophie Ellis Bextor


But Guys.... it should really be about these:

Johonny Depp

Zac Efron

But certainly not these (!!!):

Marilyn Manson

Pete Burns

Q...Beautiful.

Kylie : X-tremely disappointing

Miss Minogue is a survivor. Be it breast cancer, fallen rivals and career foibles among others, she's been to the mountain top and seen it all.

'X' is her tenth studio album,

heralded as her Big Comeback. It's her third since the late 80's Disco fad, the late 90's dance-fever and her recent Showgirl rah rah.

If you were expecting recent hits like 'Can't Get you Out of my Head' and 'Slow', you'll be sorely disappointed.

Those hits and their respective albums were when she was on a roll and borne during a time still desperate to reestablish herself.

This time, she's taking it easy. Perhaps too easy.

Save for some earlier tracks and the first single '2 Hearts', the rest of the album is filled with forgettable pop ditties with unclear direction. With a ho hum blend of guitar rifts meeting electro synths , whether you're a Disco Diva or a Rock Chick, either way, you'll be non-plussed.

Top notch production not withstanding, it is hardly listenable from start til end. Not a bad album; just not hard-hitting.

Hasn't' she learnt from her Big Mistake of the early 90's? Turning to indie-inflected pop and away from her dance roots is just not a mistake she'd learnt apparently.

If Kylie thinks that her regained position on the pop-pedestal is unshakable, she's quite delusional.

With Whitney's 'Ultimate' return, Celine 'Taking her Chances' and Britney's recent 'Blacking Out the competition' comeback, Kylie is resting on her laurels at a very wrong time.

So buy this album for only 3 reasons:
1)You are a huge Kylie fan
2)You believe in the hype
3)You like the (very) fancy album packaging

So, really, don't expect a hip-grinding, hits-filled album like Britney's.

What should have been a step-foward, is sadly, a step-back for Miss Sexy-Chic Survivor. Pity.


(Side note: Looking at the CD sleeve and hearing the songs, who needs botox and musical talent nowadays? Ingenous photo touch-ups and enhancement and studio wizardry, any one can churn out a hit record apparently. Cher, cancel that plastic surgeon appointment. :OP)

Kylie : X

This is the official Album cover of Kylie Minogue's Tenth studio album

It's called 'X' .

Getit? Roman numeral for '10'...

Anyway, the first single and video is out. And she's as camp as ever.

And although she claims she's going deeper into 'pure dance', funny the lead-off song is kinda Indie rock.

In the video, she's slinky; just the way we love her.

But the song is, in my opinion, hardly a fire-starter. :-(

Her niche has always been dance-disco and her biggest albums and singles were of such a genre.

Her albums from the late 80's and 2000's , were. Think 'Locomotion' and 'Can't Get you Out of my Head'.

However, back in the early to late 90's, her career bombed into the doldrums because she switched to Indie-rock music.

Hasn't she learnt?
