Kylie Minogue showed that can not be worse than Madonna A very small, fragile woman (I want to write “girl”, but, probably, she was a girl 20 years ago), with meowing vocals and cat grace blew up the UK. This is about Kylie Minogue, whose show has shocked me before with how stylish it was served. No, I am not a fan of the singer, moreover, watched the concert with slight skepticism. After all, the real hits of the singer are not so much. Over her entire 20-year career, you can scrape together a dozen. Most of the songs (even songs like I Should Be So Lucky) performed at the concert, of course, have already become obsolete. And even fashion arrangements did not give them modernity. And those who did not have time to become obsolete are not as bright in melodic terms as the same Madonna.
Starting with the hairstyle, ending with some elements of set design, for example, where Kylie was riding on a huge silver skull, everything gave Minogue an ardent admirer of Madonna, which she voluntarily or unwittingly copied. But Kylie (again, I repeat) doesn’t have such grinding fighters. Therefore, she had to take a completely different – subtle intonations, some special female sexuality and, of course, the scope of the show. The directors did everything so that the viewer did not really feel this retracement coming from the songs, and arranged a real feast for the eyes.
At the beginning of her performance, the singer appeared in the center of a giant hoop in a long sexy dress and gold gloves. She changed her clothes seven times. The center stage, where the main action took place, was a 30-meter screen with changing neon pictures, like a light advertisement in Las Vegas. The ass was also a giant screen synchronized with the screen scene. The musicians (most of whom were somehow female) settled on two additional venues on the sides of the main one. Apparently, not to interfere with 14 dancers and acrobats, among which even the singer herself was lost. All this in style was very reminiscent of an expensive cabaret or musical, where not very clear melodies are compensated by ballet and “light” miracles.
Minogue then turned into a member of the support group ("cheerleaders") in the Cheer Squad set, then changed her outfit for a disc star, then appeared in the image of a young man (Beach Party). In the episode titled Black Versus White, the singer dressed up as a jockey (hello to Madonna), while the scene transformed into a chessboard.
On the song Naughty Manga Girl, performed in anime style, from the screen into the hall as if a ten-meter naked oriental girl stepped. In general, those spectators who sat in the stands, and those who spent on the road (from 25 thousand to 60 thousand rubles) VIP-parter (which, incidentally, gaped bald spots), did not regret. The show was worth it. The only obvious drawback is the two side screens, which gave close-ups of what was happening on stage. They were very small and not everything could be seen from the VIP box. All the best songs of the singer, including Can't get you out of my head, Spinning around, Confide in me, etc. Minogue's show is not worse, or better, than Madonna's. Though more chambered. But there is something in her that Madonna doesn’t even have in mind – cute feminine charm and charm.
