I've liked her as a brunette in the past (though she does look more like her sister), but I agree it doesn't work here. While Kylie will never be famous as one of the better voices in the industry--she has worked truly hard for a long time now on her live vocals (and hasn't lip synched since the mid 90s)

WHAT?? laugh.png No, I never heard that. I really don't know much about her actually, I just remember her butt from that video and some magazines. It was her sister and not her right who got into it with Sharon Osbourne on X-Factor?

Yeah that was poor Dannii (who HAS had plastic surgery--she had a breast job after she divorced her husband Julian McMahon after reportedly finding him in bed with another woman. Actually Sharon really seemed to bully up to Dannii--there's an episode of Graham Norton where she and Graham act like school bullies gleefully laughing away at Dannii's appearance. Even Sharon's daughter tweeted that her mother should just shut up about Dannii as it was making her look like an idiot...

I was so sad when I saw her big set on Ukraine X Factor and she had that dreadful hair. I think the shade is wrong and also the hairstyle doesn't work for her. Thankfully, I believe pictures at The Brits showed that she's gotten away from that color. Unfortunately since all the KM25 videos were shot at the same time, they'll all have that awful brown hair.

Right now I'm just waiting for a big announcement. I think The Voice really messed up by not paying her and getting her on that panel. Public would've loved her and she would've added much needed star power to that panel. They should've done Jessie J, Kylie, Will.I.Am & Will Young. I got lots of pleasure hearing how awful Tom Jones has been at the recent auditions.

Back to Kylie lol, I hope she gives us something substantial soon. I expect everything major to happen in the fall at the earlier, but I need stuff now. I want a tour because Aphrodite Live just gave me life. After seeing her live once I can never miss an event like that again. If she announces tour dates far enough in advance, I'd love to go see her outside of the US. At the very least I'd try to see her in Canada, then I can see another show if she does some dates in the US.

Chris where did you see her? I went to San Fran and while a part of me missed the huge spectacle of the overseas show, it was amazing to see such a well done show (honestly as good, at least, as Madonna's) on a 75 dollar ticket, standing in the front. I think the North America tour Sold very well--and got brilliant reviews, so that she'll include N America in future tours, but she still can't sell arenas here, and it does cost them a lot to downgrade the tour and move it overseas. Honestly (and yes, I'm biased) by far one of the most brilliant live acts I've seen, and while I have some defence for people like Madonna (partially) lip synching their shows, she really proves that you can do the spectacle without that.

The tours are unabashedly camp and rarely go for the street cred Madonna (often embarrasingly) has to include, but I appreciated that she didn't downplay that for N America despite the fact that it doesn't go well here outside her fanbase and gay fans.

I haven't bought the DVD so I've never seen the full Aphrodite tour, but I didn't think it looked that downgraded. I saw it in Dallas with my friend Zac and most of his friends were casual Kylie fans simply going to have something to do. They were all shocked at just how good her concert was. I was also first row which was a nice mistake on my part (I thought I'd booked the last row in my section).

    • I would have bought it if Ed/Rick/Michelle were all there, but 1) Ed said he couldn't go because he had to work, to which even someone highlighted that he's chief of staff and could easily go if he wanted; 2) Michelle got on the plane with Rick to go, but J showed up and the Spaulding's kicked him off because why would they want another random teenager to go, so Michelle ran off the plane after him and Rick just let her go (haha, it was kind of dumb); and 3) Rick and A-M have barely said 2 words to each other in the 15 months I've been watching so far, so it was weird he's now just by himself with the Spauldings/Coopers.   But I know now why they're doing this, Rick is clearly there because Phillip has shown up. Very plot-driven, but at least I’m getting old flashbacks of Rick/Phillip during this.  Slight correction - Ed never showed up on the plane, just Rick and Michelle.  Ed had already made the decision he wasn't going. Once 'Slutchelle' (haha!) ran off, I thought it was so weird that Rick either didn't run off after her, or didn't call from the plane to tell Ed. It was only when Blake called Rick, who happened to be with Ed at the hospital, that he happened to tell Ed, in midair, "oh hey, you may want to go find Michelle, she ran off" hahaha. Yeah, I get that being a location shoot, they had to minimize the number of people, but to have Dahlia there over Bridget still irks me. I get it, at this point, Bridget wouldn't have any connections to any of the people there outside of Lucy, just still hurts. ETA: Ugh, and now Marcus shows up!
    • Maybe Brad can turn that day into an entire season. 
    • I didn't get to finish the episode last night. It's been a week and I was not able to keep my eyes open.  I will say that I understand everyone's comments on the new Ted. I think more so than anything is the shock. Where else in modern TV do you get an actor to replace another from one day to the next without a break or some storyline to explain it. However, it's such a soap staple that I can't help but love it when I heard "The role of...is now being played by..."  I think the actor is good. I felt like Kat felt different playing against him. I wonder if it was nerves or just maybe this actor bringing something difgerent out of Colby. I do think Maurice's acting range showed itself to be weak when he got these more emotionally charged scenes to play. I actually clocked him as one of the weaker actors from Day 1, but he definitely wasn't the worst and I didn't think he needed to be replaced. However, I'm open to new Ted. Maybe Maurice can come back as Andre's daddy back from the "dead."  Ashley is really becoming unlikable with her attitude towards living with Derek. Although, she should have shut him down the minute he imposed the idea on her. Also, if I'm living with someone and I have a guest coming over soon which I forgot to mention to that person than they are more than welcome to stay. Especially, if that person is someone we both know. They'll just be made aware that next time I'm going to need them to leave for a few while when I have time with a friend. It was so rude the way she approached it, which makes it even more confusing as to why all the characters around her put her on a pedestal and Andre is obsessed.  I honestly don't see any chemistry between Andre and Ashley. Andre gets on my nerves. I'm sorry yall, but I can't with that man. He always gotta let out a huff in that last syllable when he's saying something emotional. It's like okay now Big Bad Wolf. Also, what is the appeal of Ashley? She's boring. The character is bland. I do feel for the Ashley and Derek actors because what are they even doing there...taking up space.     
    • Liam hasn't had a purpose in years, none of the Spencer's have. The Spencer family should be written off and let Finn adopt Kelly, he's more her dad anyways.  IMO I think SC seen the writing on the wall with Liam. Brad is never going to let the character grow or evolve. Even dying he's being wishy washy and a waffler lol. Scott out there asking for Liam to be a villain and paired with Ivy only for Liam to continue to waffle I'd rather see Scott back at GH as Dillon or Michael Quartermaine   But I dunno I read Scott has issues with Frank that stem from his time on One Life to Live Also all the Lope flashbacks where when Liam was married to Steffy and one of them was when Hope was telling Liam she was pregnant(he was married to Steffy then) lol I need Steffy out of that white blazer, please burn it, it's awful. This day has gone on for like 3 weeks now. ONE DAY
    • Thanks! I never venture back to re-watch that period of the show 
    • I was wondering about Liam wearing that hat for such a long time, as it was supposed to be covering up his surgery wound -- but he wouldn't need a hat for this long a period of time. Then I noticed everyone's wardrobe is the same, too, and realized that it's been the same "Forrester/Logan day" for two weeks of episodes. I guess he just got out of the hospital and all these episodes are discussing what happened?
    • I would have to say FD was the luckiest man in daytime who stayed way past any reason for him to be there, but yes, totally agree that Alan should have died at that point, which would have spared us more years on mustache twirling bombasity.   I know it was a big get to bring Joan Collins on, and I loved her Alex, but it would have been great at that point if they had just brought Amanda back. Phillip is named by Alan and Alex as the successor or head of family and head of the corporation, with the board and investors approval. Amanda (who is back to being Alan's daughter, it was one last "screw you" from Brandon to try to get Alan and Alex at each others throats) gets pissed and comes back to stake her claim and be a thorn in everyone's side. Meanwhile Liv is suddenly REALLY interested in Phillip as he will have a longer self life then Alan. Things unfold much as they did with Amanda coming back to thwart Liv as Alex did..and when the truth comes out Alan really does have a heart attack and kicks (for real, for good, no fake outs, no returns, he's dead..dead.) and then AM comes back (as Taggert originally planned before Weston came to stink up the place.) to make his claim also. Phillip' guilt over Alan's death and having no final reconciliation ( On his death bed Alan could say, "I am proud of you son, you have finally become a real Spaulding," right before he kicks. ) I also agree that Phillip was not always likable, which really I give GA credit for being brave enough to make him that way, which is exactly how Phillip should be.   Ed and Chelle were there, but she ran off the plane to chase J...(I kid you not, that is why we started calling her Slutchelle) and Ed ran after her. The reason they, and no one else was at the wedding was obviously to save money, so it would have made more sense to have it on an existing set then that dumb Universal Studios thing.
    • They probably threw in Rick because he's AM's cousin, Michelle should've been there too. I don't remember if Ed was still on the show at this point 
    • In the 2nd semi-final, I enjoyed Denmark and Luxembourg (plus France) the most. I was also positively surprised by Germany's performance, because usually our performances are ... well, lackluster, to put it nicely. The one country I did not expect to qualify was Armenia, but yeah, the staging probably helped a lot, because the song itself is just noise in my ears. I thought Serbia would make it instead. None of the Ex-Yugo countries made it to the Grand Final (first time since 2013), while all the Nordics and Baltics qualified. Recap of the 2nd semi-final:
