Bravo. Couldn't have put it better myself. Yeah she may be performing "bubblegum pop for kids" but she MARKETS herself (and her body) at older men. It's disgusting. I know she's not the only one that does it but it shouldn't exclude her from criticism.
Her cancer has scant little to do with me liking her. Her 'trampyness' is something that I both find cute, and something I see through. Many people use a woman's 'trampyness' to cut her down. Your type remind me of those men who get erections under their clothes when a bunch of you swarm a woman in the Middle East for not wearing her burka in public, stoning her to death, self righteously. It's different in scale but the same in essence.
What is extremely questionnable, is that Kylie Minogue has been made "Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres !!!"in France on the 5th of may. That is utterly ridiculous, as she did nothing for French culture, except singing a stupid song whose title was french: "Je ne sais pas pourquoi".
The speech by "La ministre de la Culture" was laughable and made a lot of people chuckle:
http://www.liberation.fr/actualite/instantanes/femmedujour/324699.FR.php
"Princesse de la pop, reine incontestée des pistes de danse, vous êtes une sorte de Midas de la scène musicale internationale, qui transforme tout ce qu'elle touche en or, des disques jusqu'aux micro-shorts", en quelque sorte, une alchimiste de la musique", a déclaré la ministre à Kylie Minogue, Christine Albanel. Christine Albanel salue le courage dont elle a fait preuve «en révélant publiquement que vous étiez atteinte d’un cancer du sein».
Translation:
"Princess of pop music, undisputed queen of the dance-floors, you are a kind of Midas of the international musical scene, who transforms everything she touches into gold, from records to mini-shorts, in some way, an alchemist of music, the Minister of Culture said.
Christine Albanel honours the courage she has shown "by revealing publicly that you were suffering from breast cancer."
I am now trying to imagine what she could say about Morrissey:
"Prince of rock music, undisputed king of the biggest concert halls, you are a kind of universal genius, who champions English culture, from Doc Martens to Oscar Wilde, and French culture too, from Sacha Distel to Claude Brasseur. I honour the courage you have shown "by revealing publicly that you were suffering from depression".
The speech was not a joke. Is this what you mean?
Yes I wrote it, yes I believe in freedom of expression. I don't find Kylie vapid. her appearance is very cliche, but all appearances are, even Jesus has a cliche appearance, only no one is encouraged to consider him to be a tramp, because he doesn't arch his back and wiggle his bum in hot pants and sing " Lalala, lalalalala, lalala, lalalalala, I just can't get you out of my head, boy your lovin' is all I think about. ", but he may as well have, for all the good it did to wear those drab ponchos citing the ten commandments.
I do find her to be " true, interesting, or though-provoking ". To me she doesn't just 'shake it'.
I was just watching a documentary and I remember her saying that she wrote Breathe's lyrics in a hotel room in Tokyo after writing music with two people she mentions...here are some clips from it. The first one has in it what I just spoke of, the second clip shows why she wrote You Did It Again, and the third clip doesn't specify if she wrote or not but I don't see someone who just shakes it like a silly hooker in it. No sillier than Morrissey anyway.
Well, he's mocking himself in my eyes on this one.Morrissey always mocks pop stars! It's one of the reasons I absolutely love him!
