Members Soapsuds Posted June 27, 2010 Members Share Posted June 27, 2010 Cupid Boy sounds like Can't Get You Out Of My Head redux. Get out of my way...just ho hum....not feeling the album at all..sorry Eric. I think it's going to flop big time! Not a very good CD IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 I didn't know Kylie did a cover of this song. It's a bit bland compared to the original song but she does better than I would have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 29, 2010 Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 Give Me Just A Little More Time is one of my favorite Kylie songs from a very underrated album, Lets Get To It. I love the video and how playful and sexual it is. I hate that she doesn't really perform songs from that album anymore. She even finally dropped Finer Feelings.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 29, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 29, 2010 It's my least fave Kylie album Stock/Waterman (sans Aitken) going through the paces. I did love the BIR remix of Finer Feelings which was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2010 Q Magazine HATE it--apparently because Kylie doesn't reveal in it if she watches Lost or what her politics are (unlike most dance albums...) (The critic has a history of haiting Kylie--in articles and reviews) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2010 Cliches work fine in dance music--Camilla Paglia had a great Salon article about disco and why lame lyrics like "Let's all chant" mean more on the dance floor than something from Bob Dylan would. Kylie's metacritic score is actually already stronger than it'sbeen in a good while. I thought you didn't think the production was very good, Sylph? I assume the bolded bits are what you agree with-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 6, 2010 Members Share Posted July 6, 2010 Looks like Kylie is on course to score her first UK #1 album in almost a decade. The album is #1 in midweeks, and has no competition this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 She's also #1 and #2 on US Itunes Pop albums lol. WTF? How did that happen? No single and no promo yet the album is set to debut in the top ten in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 Well the iTunes top 10--or could she go top 10 overall? Her American press HAS been more positive overall than I've ever seen them before (She's at a 72% on metacritic). Anyway, I'm obviously very pleased... If not a bit surprised.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted July 7, 2010 Members Share Posted July 7, 2010 A little O/T Kylie is an Auntie. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/confidential/dannii-minogues-baby-joy/story-e6frf96x-1225889052062 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yah, big congrats to Dannii. I admit my initial appeal to her was just how she was always the flop sister--her music was like Kylie's but usually cheaper--I loved her 90s Girl album, and Neon Nights is a classic (and actually did well) but then she released track after track, and her Club Disco album to no success, which is part of the appeal to me. But with her success and exposure from X Factor, it'd prob be wise (baby aside) to try again now, if she ever is going to again. Oddly, she did promo when Neon Nights came out in Montreal, that was the only stop in N America (!). I assume cuz her then boyfriend, racer Jacques Villeneuve lived there--anyway I got to meet her and see her do two songs at a PA at Musique Plus (the Quebec music channel)--there were maybe 25 of us there, but she was SUPER sweet (and surprised to see I brought my old singles that hadn't been released here to be signed) and had a surprisingly confident live voice. Back to Kylie and Aphrodite, I'm a little surprised, knowing how expensive Xenomania are to work with, that so far their only two released tracks recorded with her for this album, Mighty Rivers and the very sweet Heartstrings, are bonus tracks (on iTunes and the Japanese release, respectively).
