Kylie Minogue - Live in Sydney

Starring:Kylie Minogue
Studio: Rhino / Wea
Product Type: DVD

Amazon.com

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

Description

Kylie Minogue concludes her On a Night Like This tour with an unashamed pop extravaganza on home ground in Sydney, performing to a huge audience which these days 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. Kylie fulfils different roles for different groups within the audience: for females it's all about adulation--rediscovering her childlike appeal like a long-lost friend; the men are offered a fantasy figure--the camera drawn like a magnet to her derrière for 20 per cent of the concert; and she simultaneously manages to be a gay icon, without becoming overtly camp. The joy of Kylie is that she has become all things to all people, offered up in a perfectly petite package.

It's clear that the years of work as a performer have paid off, her vocals are much stronger now with a real sense of professionalism, and just to prove this she performs two old favourites as serious pieces, "I Should Be So Lucky" is offered as a ballad and "Better the Devil You Know" is transported to Shirley Bassey territory, allowing Kylie to prove her vocal range. In true show-stopping 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; although the same cannot be said for her backing dancers, whose outfits are often laughable, with all the style of a school play costume. Despite the many faces of Kylie on display here, pop stardom does not appear to have changed her girl-next-door image--Kylie remains in our hearts a true "neighbour".
