No one would care if she actually did look "young and youthful" but she looks hideous, that is the point. I was driving while my friend read the Heat magazine I purchased at the petrol station. Driving on the motorway he held up a picture of Minogue in a hat, close-up and I screamed. She might have subtley changed her appearance, but the effect has been to dramatically alter it for some reason. The only person who appears to have benefited from plastic surgery recently seems to have been Madge. Cher enjoyed success going under the knife in her late thirties and early forties, but that spell of looking the shit has dried. Janet is one of the "mainstream's" worst offenders. I love how she got fat, then must have had lipo everywhere else but her butt to make herself appear like it was naturally that huge. It was disgusting. Personally, I take my hat off to Joan Collins' surgeon. That woman is 72 and looks about 45 without looking like a burns victim. Kudos to the both of them.

Yeh her singles album is great but she's just an empty vessel for producers to work with, there is nothing to distinguish her from thousands of other hopefuls out there. Her voice is weak, her dancing appalling which is why she only strikes poses, and her Fever tour yawn inducing.

They don't *need* to be role models, but for a lot of kids pop stars are. Rock stars, pop stars, whatever. I don't look to bands for my role models, but many people do, and my point is not concerning Courtney Love's poppishness, but who provides a better role model...for those who would see someone like Kylie or Courtney as such. It's not to do with what genre of music they churn out, but at least Kylie has more dignity in comparison to Courtney and her drugged up microphone bopping antics. And if my child was to take a pop/rock/indie/emo/trance whatever star as a role model, I'd rather it was Kylie than Courtney.

Kylie needs to be respected. Why? Well here we go...
People can say whatever they want about her voice or her personality. They will anyway. But every UK female pop star wants to be Kylie from Geri to Rachel and that shows the influence. Holly Valance failed to take Kylie's crown and so have many others. Madonna respects her, if that doesn't convince you then read on. Men love Kylie and weirdly, so do women. It's difficult to project something that everyone likes but we all feel comfortable with Miss Minogue. She's part of our lives in a way Dannii wishes she could be. Kylie is an icon. Her mere presence on a magazine cover triples sales. Not convinced. Read on...
Kylie does need men to think for her when it comes to production. True. But at the top of her game in the mid nineties Kylie defied these 'men' to forge her own path. Kylie took control of her career and went down a path many fans were uncomfortable to follow her on and yet these so-called wilderness years have some of the best, sleekest adult pop you can get. Brilliant, fantastic music like Confide In Me (a Doors sample within, something I doubt Britney would ever do) and Put Yourself In My Place as well as obscure classics like Gotta Move On.
Still not convinced? You fools! Read on...
Can't Get You Out Of My Head IS the child of other classics like Blue Monday and I Feel Love. It is the blueprint to which Rachel Stevens has attempted to imitate, it is the song that Geri will never have, the dancetastic stomper that put Holly Valance out of a pop career. It's simplistic genius that no pop hating indie fool could ignore. It really is mind warpingly catchy genius that I doubted Kylie would ever repeat and yet I Believe In You has the same brilliance about it. Okay so Body Language was introverted souless shit and Kylie should NEVER be introverted, her music is about celebration and joy. Perhaps that's why gays love her too and small children who have never watched Charlene and Scott's wedding.
Oh and earlier I said Madonna praised her. What did she say exactly? "The perfect popstar would have Kylie Minogue's voice and the body of Britney Spears."
And Kylie's bum. If that doesn't convince you and I have failed then you are mad and a closet Geri fan, angered by the fact your idol is a flop and Kylie is still our Rightful Princess under Madonna.
