Unfortunately, Kylie Minogue is little known in our country. And if it is remembered, it is mainly due to the simple Can't get you out of my head - a good commercial product, composition for the mass listener and nothing more. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is one of the few songs I don't like about Kylie because it promotes the notion that Minogue is a mediocre, low-voiced singer, which is not really the case. To dispel doubts about Kylie Minogue’s abilities, you just need to check out at least one of her concert tours. I recommend Showgirl: Homecoming Tour.
At the beginning of the action, we see Kylie standing on stage, ready to perform the song and waiting only for the sounds of music to appear. A slightly tired face and a slightly sad look betray a recently suffered illness in her. But someone in the room shouts, "Kylieee!" And a smile appears on the diva's face. A gorgeous, radiant smile. And then Kylie sings "Better the Devil you know" and the whole room is filled with warmth and light, which "produces" sunny Australian.
Some argue that Minogue concerts are overloaded with colors, feathers, rhinestones and the like. But Brazilian carnivals for this somehow do not reproach, and remember only that they give joy and unrestrained fun. Kylie Minogue’s tours are an endless celebration. And who looks at the number of feathers when your happy heart beats to the beat of music? Kylie’s performances are a powerful antidepressant, and she does not require obsessively that everyone around smiles, but she sincerely enjoys life, and it is simply impossible not to respond in the same way.
There are, of course, Miss Minogue's repertoire and lyrical tender love songs. Kylie also performs them quite sincerely, because they reflect the emotional experiences, both past and present, of the singer herself. "We all get hurt by love," Kylie sings, and again, who can disagree with her? And the song “Dreams” will not leave a trace of the opinion that Kylie Minogue is a superficial singer.
Any Kylie Minogue concert is like a performance divided into several acts. Each part is united by one theme, Kylie dresses up in the appropriate costume and performs several songs. In Showgirl Homecoming, you can see how the singer from the “pink flamingo” turns into a crazy disco diva, from a yogi to a wild cat, from a fatal woman in a red dress to a black bird, from a futuristic diva to a hippie. Such a number of metamorphosis in just 2 hours suggests that Kylie Minogue is a great workaholic.
One of the Russian contemporary artists justified that it is impossible to dance well and sing live at the same time. After watching Kylie Minogue’s concert performance, you will see that this so-called artist brazenly lied. Kylie performs real acrobatic numbers on stage, while she sings magnificently: she does not choke, does not swallow half the words and does not ask the audience to sing for her. And some live performances I like even more than studio recordings.
Showgirl: Homecoming Tour is one of Kylie Minogue's best tours because it consists of only the best songs from 20 years of musical activity by this gorgeous, forever young woman. Fortunately, this tour was not the last in the career of the Australian singer. She still pleases fans with new albums and performances, remaining always light, cheerful, smiling, sincere and even a drop of her native Kylie.
Of course
