Kylie's Showgirl etc..........

Well apparantly all very glam., OTT, and tons of feathers and fans loved it, though most seem to have been to every concert..ever..and therefore heard all the numbers done over and over across every album and concert.But I tihnk they go for the glitz so.....

Olivier M. flew over for opening night which elicted lots of media about him "showing his commitment to her"..which may or may not be precise but anyway....when one considers they have had at least 4 major bust ups in the not quite 2 years .All denied 'natch. And The Snowgoose has been "In production" since they finished filming in December. One has to love the media who swing facts to suit .

The photos are quite nice, even I have to admit ,though I do not go for this particular showgirl type of show and cannot bear her singing.She sure has all the glitz so beloved by her fans.

Is this her swansong one wonders...will she retire for marriage etc...change route "musically"..she did some unexpected covers last night....ballads/accoustic type

No reviews as yet bar News of The World who seemed to have penned in advance and simply filled in the gaps.

Anyway for those who may now want to go seems it was an extravagant showy affair and worth seeing for that alone if her music is not your thing.If you love her then I guess it is all a bonus.

    Only 4 in 2 years? About once every 6 months?

    Only an average amount of rowing then. ;)

    They met.. stayed in bed for 3 days.parted for 2 months.had a fight over Jolie,KM tired to make time for him..spent 6 months together.Did BL got parted.She did not pitch to premiers.Went to SAus Dec...all Ok until May.. fights start..she goes Aus he runs France with Rodriquez...he splits to LA..seen each twice or so over a couple of weeks since.... briefly..he pitches for concert and media has them all but "married"..if it last i will eat my hat.And I suspect her manic obsession with image/career/bucks etc is THE probel mand the reason all ehr blokes leave..they come too far down her list of things to do.Everyone blames the guy bit in her case I am not so sure.. and fro him..well he already has a good ole reputation and cannot see him flirting (as KM puts in in media casually) for 3 weeks face to face with Salma...given his celibate state..would he sya no..and why would he anyway...he is not married...

    The jabber in media is emerging over Showgirl..most of it is about the costumes... and silly me thought she was a "singer.." oh well......

    I've seen Kylie on tour about 3 times now. The first time was just before she hit the big time again; before she released Spinning Around. The show was amazing! So camp, so over the top. The other one I saw was set on a 'Love Boat' - that was fabulous. She sang all her hits and wore some outrageous clothes.

    Then I saw her during the Fever tour. What a load of rubbish. It was a case of too much money spoiling a show. It was all electric, loads of video clips while Kylie danced off the stage to get dressed. Really, it was boring. She even avoided most of her older hits. Plus, audience had changed from predominantly gay and 20 somethings to teens and their mums. The energy had gone.

    So, I'll be avoiding this one. Maybe I've od'd on Kylie?! :cry:

    Sounds like a great concert. I haven't been to see her but have tickets for Earls Court on the Bank Holiday Saturday.
    Just wondered whether those of you who have already seen her ShowGirl concert can tell me if cameras are allowed? I know some concerts allow them (like Shania Twain) and some definitely don't (like Madonna).

    Thanks in advance guys

    Just back from seeing her. This was the first time I have seen her live, and it was amazing! Totally camp and OTT, especially when she appeared sitting on a crescent moon suspended over the stage singing "Over the Rainbow", but fantastic nonetheless. I will definately be back to see her again.

    Does anyone agree that Kylie doesn't look good in her new video.

    Her face, cheeks inparticular look very unnatural. Has she recently been under the knife or is it my eyes?

    i thought she looked different slightly in the new video too. however in photos i have seen in the papers she looks the same as before, so may be it was the make up or something?

    i cant wait to see the concert, i am going on friday!!

    But all that is back in the Showgirl tour, all the stuff you said was missing from Fever. Its the Kylie for all eras, thats why I loved it so much.

    Call me old-fashioned, but feathers, spangles, and whalebone are no substitute for talent, in my book.

    id agree if she didnt have the talent to back it up, but she did. She sang live and note perfect the entire show and her unaccompanied rendition of Somewhere over the Rainbow was beautiful. I havent enjoed a concert so much in ages

    i doubt i'd ever go to see her, but i certainly won't be a glasto snob, and will definitely catch her on the pyramid on the sunday night - it does indeed look and sound a great show!

    Fair play to the old gal - and to be fair I've never seen her live, but I have watched ' An audience with Kylie' etc... and as far as I'm concerned she's got a voice like a strangled cat. Still, she can jiggle her arse quite well and to give her her due she has sustained a music career despite (IMO) a staggering lack of talent :)
