If on the next album she loses the plastic production and actually finds something interesting to sing about, I might care a little.

She's been the only person to turn up in the last 20 years who I think is the real deal and might have some longivity.

Her originality is refreshing and her tunes are catchy. She may be a little polished and commercial, but so was Madonna with Like a Virgin.

Some of you lot sound like my parents in 85. "Madonna!? She'll never last. Weak plastic pop.....its all image and not music...she's just corting controversy.....blar blar blar"

Exactly!

Kylie is the true Princess Of Pop.

WARNING: This homo is about to blaspheme.


I never got into Kylie.
I mean, I got the one "comeback" (American, I know she's reigned Pop overseas for decades) album with "Can't get you out of my head". And I liked it ok, but it fell off my itunes rotation.
I didn't like "Locomotion" even when I was a mere itty bitty homo.

Maybe I need like a good intro "mix tape" to get me to appreciate her.

I have no problem with her, but with the comparisons. Let artists shine on their own without the urge to force a desperately sought title to their talent and in order to make them more relevant (imho)

Because black people don't appreciate their older artists.

Beyoncé comes very close to the title of Princess Of Pop. It's not just about having popular songs though, it's about having a "pop" aesthetic. Destiny's Child were very much marketed as an Urban act. The group won Grammy awards in the R&B categories - not in any Pop category.

I don't think Beyoncé became "pop" until she went solo. You know... Dressing-up as a robot on stage... Acting in crappy movies... Having singles produced by Scandinavian hit factories like the Stargate team... etcetera.

In any case, Madonna has been active since 1982, Kylie since 1988 and Beyoncé has only been a household name since 1997.

p.s. I realise that Kylie is almost a non-entity in the U.S., but everywhere else in the world she fulfills the criteria as Princess Of Pop to Madonna's Queen. Madonna said so herself.

Lady Gaga tries too hard to be different, and it comes off as trying too hard...hey, here's an idea....(!)...create great music instead.

who cares what madonna says, none of these broads has ever been relevant in my community...i dont even know wtf kylie sings

lowkey said:

Refrain from listening to Kylie she sounds like a constipated toddler!

lowkey said:

Spoken like a true American.

PLEASE let's see if she has lasting power before being rewarded any kind of title

midiscover said:

Kylie is awesome.

lowkey said:

You would have had to have lived on the moon not to have heard this, a few years ago.



Even Prince interpolated the song into his live cover of Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy' when performing at the O2.

midiscover said:

I like the music and I like the outfits...But is it only me who thinks her music and her outfits do not match? I mean she is making very conventional dance pop, and it is just not over the top enough to accomodate the look.

I've only heard about two Kylie Minogue songs She's never been a big star in America.

why the hell people saying that she is original, original in what sense, with those god awful things on her head? She is a joke.

Although you've ignored the youtube links I've provided for you, it doesn't mean you have to continue ignoring them.
