Not quite sure WHY she felt she had to change her image to slutty. Guess she didn't feel confident enough in her singing ability.

Kylie Minogue was a cute gal. But her voice has to be drastically enhanced especially with electronic tuners to be palatable. It was VERY out-of-tune on her tv special "Live and Intimate" back 21 years ago. Ofcourse, she was 19 and I guess Australia was pulling for her as the star turned singer/dancer. Let's not forget however that her slightly younger sister Danni got Kylie her first real exposure and overall, I find Danni much more talented especially when doing rock and IS better looking.

I still li\ke some of her bubble-gum songs (LUCKY and "Put your Hand on your Heart" are so freakin' CUTE!!)and you have toapprove the spectacle of her shows although Kyle X proved things can be so complicated something has to go wrong.(Like the audio track being so out of synch/her miming waaaaaay OFF at the intro..I noticed some of her smaller arena shows, she didn't come out in the flying ring aka Doctor Who's "Blind Controller" from the nu series 12 episode. "Speaker Phone" is catch-ier than most. "Come into My World", "Light Years", Better the Devil". "Slow" and "How does it Feel".

I still have mixed feelings about her concerts, spectacles as they are. AND her. She can be great on stage, but in personal interviews she seems either awkward, OR maybe a bit shallow because she really isn't much more than her music. I watched her "White Diamond" documentary and came away rather empty. It really didn't show anything "inspiring" which it was supposed to be. As interesting as they try to make her, she just isn't. I want to like her BUT if I were working in the show, I feel like I wouldn't.

She does have a large "gay" following. But also some rocker's too.. Funny thing I do find myself almost liking "disco" when she performs it when back in those days, I was one of those burning disco records in protest bon-fires (late 70's). She is entertaining but hardly remarkable.

If I were to actually rate singers...AND I'm SOOOO freakin' glad she's off the "dirty brunette slut-look" kick, Christina Acquilera is probably THE best talent. She has the range, especially the lows, AND can sing in-tune. Madonna live always sucked, she is ALWAYS out of tune, she has ZERO appeal. Mandy Moore?..Blip on the radar...

If you want the true SINGERS as well as honest good lookers, county pop has always had the BEST of looks, overall talent, and style. Even if you didn't like her mountain sound, Emmy Lou Harris, still a beautiful woman, was so perfect back in 1976 when she sang with THE BAND in "The Last Waltz". There are so many more.

Back to Kylie, I believe she IS wanting to act more and move away from music. I forone LIKED her role as "Astrid Perth" in the 2007 Doctor Who Christmas Special.

Right up there with ABBA and Ace of Base, Kylie Minogue is another favorite artist of mine, with a staggering number of great pop and dance songs that I enjoy. These range from the lively ode to life cover of "Celebration," to the wonderfully-sweet dance song "I Believe in You," to the fun "What Do I Have to Do."

I love Kylie. Even though her voice is not phenomenal, she knows how to package herself and is a great entertainer. She's cute, sexy, pretty to look at, and her songs are fun to listen to and have a great beat to them.

Am I being old fashioned or shouldn't people who are called singers actually be able to sing? Surely all the greased up thighs and bare boobs and buttocks in the world cannot make up for a good singing voice? There are some good acts out there - I am thinking Shania Twain for one - but Kylie, nice girl tho she may be, is no singer. In fact her songs are monotonous over-produced crap. If only she had stuck to acting .........

Typical not too much talent I'll show you my &*%#$@ and my %^*&( please love me singer.

On the subject of ex Aussie soap stars turned pop princesses Natalie Imbruglia, Holly Vallance and Delta Goodrem are all younger, miles sexier, better looking and better singers than Minogue. She on the other hand has big teeth, a nasal voice and even her famous butt has been cosmetically enhanced.

Sexy new image can't hide the fact that as a singer, she still sucks--just like she did 20 years ago.

I really wish she had a voice. Nothing like singing in a monotone. She's a one hit wonder from the 80's, a soap show actress and I too wish this almost 40 year old would have left her career where it belonged, in the dumps.

She's got an amazing voice. It doesn't hurt that she's beautiful as well.

She has a cute voice and while her songs may sound overly repetitive, they're a lotta fun to dance to. I choreographed a jazz dance to Love At First Sight once, and the group that danced to it loved it.

I LOVE KYLIE, The Best Aussie Ever!

She's really hot and she's got a nice ass

Don't know a single song she's ever sang; but I do know: 1) She has a nice toosie; 2) My wife named our daughter after her (That's OK, I named my son after my favorite author, Ian Fleming).

Kylie perfectly typfies popular culture where style beats substance hands down very time. I dont get it. She's not especially good looking, sings in a squeaky nasal voice and doesnt even write her own material, shoddy and disposable as it is.

She's simple the best!

Has about as much talent as Britiney and Christina combined. What is the big deal?

I'm still trying to figure out how this ugly, screechy-voiced singer became popular. I think she is horrible in the definite ranks of overrated, talentless stars with big boobs like Britney.

HER SONGS OVERALL ARE PRETTY GOOD . SHE ALWAYS COMES UP WITH FOOTAPPING SONGS. THOUGH I THINK SHE HAS MATURED AS A STAR AND LATER WORK LIKE"CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD" WAS BETTER THAN "LOCOMOTION"ETC.

FEVER justfrom the name of that album u no wot ur guna get a bloody crappy popstar which is spot on. shes also too bloody old and her cheek bones r 2 big 4 that ugly face of hers!

she's great. she comes back with the terrific album "fever" which has great songs like love at first sight and in your eyes.

Love her.

for being almost 35 & looking fabulous + 5 great songs over 15 yrs!

still has a career even after locomotion and i should be so lucky. doesnt look bad for 40. go gurl.

She's a good business woman. She knows what shes doing and shes not crap plastic like Britney.

Yeah, I know she's not the best singer or a supermodel but the girl knows how to work it. I define a talented artist by the concert they put on. Kylie's better live...she can hit all the note perfectly, wear hiphuggers, and dance for nearly 2hrs in stelethos (sp) and look like she's having a blast. That's an A+ in my book.

She calls herself australian? She's got the british accent and everything now. She turns her back on her home country and then when asked to perform a show acts like shes never turned her back. Her heads so far up herself and she has to use sex appeal to promote her music. What a loser!

I JUST CAN'T GET HER OUT OF MY HEAD!

She's an import from the 1980's that should have stayed there.

No way this woman is this high on the list. What a list. You can't even call her a musician or a song lyricist. She just sings to some very dry and stale techno beats. I'm guessing that anyone that gave her a five must have nio REAL musical taste.

She's getting two stars... and that's only for her happy-tappy 80'ties albums!!! Now she's boring and mainstream. She sells if not only then mainly because of her looks... which I must admit are pretty good!

no offense but she sucked back in 1988 and she sucks now--although she does kind of look like virgina madsen and that's ok. but her songs, like all new pop music, has no words. i still cant sit back and listen to random beats w/panting replacing lyrics...sad state of the music world run by madonna's j.ho's and kylie.

This may seem odd;giving 5 stars to someone with very limited musical talent and hardly the greatest singing voice,and whose music has to me seemed largely disposable.She's had many hits in Britain since her breakthrough in the late 80's on the back of the Australian soap Neighbours,yet i would be hard pressed to name more than a few and i readily admit to never having bought any of her singles or albums.Her career has had its shaky patches,but what a transformation recently!The girl next door has blossomed into this radiant,self-confident,sexy,petite star we in Britain can't seem to get enough of at the moment(she's plastered all over the front pages virually daily).I have to say,i'm as smitten as the rest.Her music seems to have improved and having a Welsh mum has done her no harm in my eyes,either.A work colleague's brother has met her a few times and apparently she's not one of the great egotists but still likeable.I hope that's the case and remains so.
