A countdown to Gay Pride in London this Saturday would not be complete without an appearance by Our Princess Kylie - and her triumphant "Legends" slot at Glastonbury on Sunday (hers was, by many accounts, the single biggest audience of the whole festival, even beating those for the headliners Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure) provides us with the perfect excuse (if any were needed)!
After a set that covered her entire three-decade career as Australia's (and her adopted mother country the UK's) greatest ever pop diva, with an array of hits from I Should Be So Lucky and Locomotion through Confide in Me and Better the Devil You Know, her duet with Nick Cave (who appeared with her live on stage) Where the Wild Roses Grow to Can't Get You Out Of My Head (with another guest Chris Martin of Coldplay), Slow, All The Lovers, Dancin' and many more, came this one - with which she ended the show on an incredible high:
Even the normally po-faced "serious muso journal" the NME loved it!
It was a triumph.
[...so much so, her new greatest hits compilation Step Back in Time is heading for the #1 slot in the UK charts this week!]
She's a trouper! Such a huge stage for a little person, but she filled it!

I only listened to it on the radio while sat in the garden - although the telly coverage is on iPlayer, so I will get around to that at some stage - and I was impressed with her sincerity, professionalism and pure showbiz chutzpah! She is amazing. Hearing thousands of people in that Glastonbury crowd all chanting her name in unison was emotional enough for the listener, let alone for Miss Minogue. Jx
DeleteThat crowd was the stuff of nightmares, but what a performance! No wonder so many people turned up.
ReplyDeleteShe is possibly second only to Sir David Attenborough as the most popular person in the UK at the moment :-)
