Kylie Minogue - Live in Sydney description Kylie Minogue concludes her 2001 On a Night Like This tour with an unashamed pop extravaganza on home ground in Sydney, performing to a huge audience that consists of more adults than teenagers. Kylie has undoubtedly matured over the years, too, and--apart from a brief stint believing she could become a "serious" artist--appears perfectly happy in her role as the Princess of Pop. The joy of Kylie is that she has become all things to all people, offered up in a perfectly petite package: for women it's all about adulation; the men are offered a fantasy figure; and she simultaneously manages to be a gay icon without becoming overtly camp. It's clear that the years of work as a performer have paid off--her vocals are much stronger and more professional, and to demonstrate she performs two old favorites, "I Should Be So Lucky" and "Better the Devil You Know," as serious pieces. In true showstopping style, we're offered a multitude of costume changes: from hot-pant mania to refined suits and rock-chick leather, Kylie inevitably appears looking great. --Nikki Disney |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The Greatest Work of Art. Ever. |
| When the Greeks held up the Venus de Milo as the ideal woman, they were both bold and shortsighted. No offense Ancients, but when it comes to the ideal, Kylie Minogue has pulled ahead of Venus de Milo like a Ferrari humming past an overweight chariot!** More recent attempts at capturing beauty fare no better against Kylie's timeless gold standard. Mona Lisa? The only thing more "enigmatic" than her expression is how anyone could view her as higher than an "8" (at best) next to Kylie's unprecedented "11"! Impressionists' babes look cute from afar, where Kylie looks perfect at both long and short range -- and usually with less layers of clothes! (I've watched the whole concert on "4X Zoom" and Kylie is flawless!). If Picasso had been lucky (lucky, lucky) enough to join Kylie in the time-space continuum, he would have dropped cubism in a quickened heartbeat and spent the rest of his life trying to fathom Kylie's perfect shape and symmetry. (A decade on the "cheeks" alone, at least!) And had Warhol been born at the right time, he surely would have done nothing but silk-screen repetitions of Kylie. (But what would be the point, really? Kylie does a much better job presenting her own image on a mass-marketing scale!) And the chrome profile babe on mudflaps? Close, but no cigar. (Kylie has a slightly better form, plus, as they say, "the beauty's in the details").
Alas, fate determines that only video can truly capture Kylie's full beauty. With "Live in Sydney", Kylie proves once again that she is both history's premier artist and work of art. (Imagine if Venus de Milo chiselled herself -- and was a lot hotter). The ultimate artist is at the top of her game in Sydney, during one of her most amazing periods - 2001. (Other important periods include, well, every single year and incarnation of Kylie since the late 80's). The dvd starts with a 3-4 minute collage of Kylie's career-spanning video clips, like an Art History presentation for quick sexy minds. Then Kylie descends to the Love Boat stage on a giant anchor, with a grace that would bring tears of joy to Captain Stubing's eyes, and with legs that would bring blood to the groin of Isaac the funky bartender. Kylie then dances, prances, struts, ascends and descends stairs, waves, leads the audience in a Mexican wave, wiggles, etc.... in outfits that would make Austin Powers stammer! (And even when Kylie dons a tux & top-hat, there's no break; your mojo will still be working overtime! Grrrr, baby! Very Grrrrr!!) Oh yeah, and she sings too! All live! Any inner beauty that isn't expressed by Kylie's dazzling looks is brought forth through her sweet voice.... ahhhhhhhhh she's so sweeeeet...... grrrr baby, very grrrr!!! And of course, all of the above is "small potatoes" compared to Kylie's bubbly, infectious, and winning personalilty -- she's the coolest (and hottest)! And she just may be, according to all who have known and worked with her, the nicest person in show business and the art world. (Especially compared to Picasso, who I hear was a jerk). Kylie Minogue is the World's Sweetheart and Ideal. "Live in Sydney" is one of her many Great Works. ** In 1981, Kylie's media-based mentor Olivia Newton-John challenged Venus De Milo by presenting a fresh take on the Greek ideal, with "Physical" and "Totally Hot." Then in 1986, Bananarama came close to eclipsing Venus De Milo, by boldly (and convincingly) declaring "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire" in their #1 hit VENUS. Standing on the shoulders of giants, only Kylie Minogue was hot enough to leave the Greek icon in the dust. (No offense to Bananarama. Their latest cd DRAMA is fantastic, and the official Amazon review raves that it's "Kylie-esque". So while Kylie has surpassed the teachers, they are still worthy of such high praise!) |
