Kylie Minogue - Co-Queen Of POP Video

Co-Queen Of POP Kylie Minogue had an awesome rendition of “slow” on Graham Norton a week ago where she looked amazing. Anyway just recently watched her video of “What do I have to do” which sounds like a 90s “take that” song and in the video she serves up Liz Taylor looks coupled with early 90s supermodel looks and her signature Brigitte Bardot looks. You’ll love it!

I loathe that vapid cunt.

Yes also Sophia Loren and Linda Evangelista meets Cindy. I think this video came before the movie “basic instinct” but you would think the lesbo dancing scene on the dance floor was inspired by basic instinct.

Kylie's hunky boyfriend in the video was her real-life South African partner Zane O'Donnell. This was Kylie's sexiest video at the time and she did look like a supermodel in it, right on the heels of her girl next door era. Behind the scenes footage shows she had learned much about controlling her career and crafting her look.

Zane also starred in Kylie's video for Shocked.

R4 Dannii is also in the video apparently?

This song and video make me want to dance with wild abandon like a disco diva in a sweaty 90s disco

That song sounds . . . familiar.

R6 Yes, that's Dannii in a wig, and before all the plastic surgery.

You're wasting your time, OP. DL has an odd dislike for Kylie. It seems to be a US/The Rest of the World thing. Kylie hasn't had major success in the US so they think she's somehow rubbish, yet they hold a talent vacuum like Janet Jackson in high regard.

All of Kylie's videos from this era are extremely stylish. Give Me Just a Little More time probably is the most beautiful she ever looked in any video.

R11 there are people on DL who love Kylie but I don’t get why some people feel like they can only love one diva and must hate the rest? It’s not a betrayal to love another pop star! Especially not the top 5! I love Kylie, I love crazy Madge, I love Janet, I love Whitney, I love crazy Mimi...there all great and they’ve all contributed to pop culture. It’s only bad to love Jlo.

Just watched the "Slow" version from Graham. So she did of mash-up of that song and David Bowie's Fashion? Not a fan of it.

Finer Feelings was Kylie's next single from Lets Get To It. The video was shot to look like a Lancôme commercial, with Kylie like a 1940s movie star or fashion model. It's is a good song that came out when Kylie and Stock Aitken Waterman were on the verge of breaking up.

F12 her videos were super chic in this era and she looked like a young Margot Robbie

Dannii is a blonde wig dancing at 1:21 in the video.

As for Zane, whether he's aged well or not is a matter of opinion.

Kylie's final two Stock Aitken Waterman tracks were both hits, made only to meet her contractual obligations so she could move along. "What Kind Of Fool?" she co-wrote and sounds like classic SAW.

Why didn’t she crack the US? I think it’s because she stayed in London instead of moving to the US in the early 90s. But then her career probably would have been different and she wouldn’t have given us all the wonderful pop she’s given through the years.

The final single was a slightly by-the-numbers cover of Kool and the Gangs Celebration, but she does look super happy and is gorgeous in the video.

Kylie is really modest and a bit of a homebody. She lived in a great and airy but not really a mega-star 2 bedroom London maisonette for most of the decades she was having hits. Most of the space in her flat was taken up by her wardrobes. She was quite thrifty with money (some say rather tight), and managed to keep many of the same friends she had early on in her career.

R23 that’s a good assessment and a compliment sometimes lite is so much better than regular!

by Anonymousreply 25December 2, 2019 5:23 PM

R24 really how interesting I would like to meet her. Regarding her being a homebody a lot of pop stars are homebodies I think Janet and Madonna are. Of course Madonna had a rather adventurous dating life but she’s often said that she’s a lot more prudish and Julie Andrews like than people think.

The first poster I had on my wall was of Kylie & Jason. I was two or three at the time, and very taken with Especially For You. Mother played it on repeat - she does that. I was basically brainwashed.

30 years later and she’s still my number 1 hun. Kylie ‘til I die. x

One of the reasons people love Kylie is because she genuinely loves her job.

There's absolutely no reticence or a sense that playing along with a joke is beneath her.

WARNING: interview contains a discussion between Carr and Minogue about FISTING.

I love the Kylie SAW era. It's jun fun, joyous, peak 90s. This medley from her Showgirl tour is a lot of fun.

Gawd, that tour was over a decade ago.

90s dance is being re-sampled, like the Black Eyed Peas/J Balvin "RITMO" track sampling Rhythm of the Night. Love this classic Kylie.

Kylie was a huge fan of Madonna.

Dannii was hugely influenced by Janet Jackson. People were surprised when Dannii released her first single Love and Kisses. It was compared in the music industry to be like Janet in sound.

After a promising start, Dannii's career faltered after a couple of years, so she rebuilt herself (literally!) to look and sound almost exactly like her sister.

She’s a non-entity in America outside Frankie Grande’s playlist.

Dannii has never tried to copy Kylie - they're both pop stars but Dannii has always had a more dance edge to her material.

All I Wanna Do was one of the first hits for Brian Higgins and Xenomania, released when Kylie was in her indie period.

Dannii released some amazing pop in the early 2000s - Who Do You Love Now, Put The Needle On It, I Begin To Wonder, Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling and You Won't Forget About Me were all classics. Much better than the Slow, Red Blooded Woman and Chocolate offerings Kylie came up with on Body Language.

They were always pitched against each other but were never really in competition.

Dannii deserves her own thread. I guess I forgot that she was very out there in the 2000s. If anything she is underrated.
