Posted September 14, 201014 yr Kylie 'wanted cancer songs on album' Tuesday, September 14 2010, 17:15 BST By Mayer Nissim, Entertainment ReporterTweet this Digg this Send to friend More options Kylie MinogueMusicKylie Minogue has admitted that she wishes her songs about breast cancer had been included on her recent album Aphrodite. Speaking to X magazine, the singer revealed that 'No More Rain' and 'Stars' on her previous album X were about her experience fighting the disease. Minogue said: "There were other songs that were way more personal, and I did sing those on tour. They were called 'Ruffle My Feathers' and 'Flower'." Asked why these songs did not feature on her latest release, she explained: "You know, hindsight can be a terrible thing. I look back now and I wish I had pushed for those songs to make it on. "The songs are chosen between myself and my record company - and it was terrifying for all of us. So whether they weren't good enough or whether they were too close to the bone... "I still don't know why they weren't on there. Perhaps it was something my record company weren't comfortable with. But I know that I wrote them." Minogue added: "For me it was really cathartic to get in the studio and at least write about that stuff. I got back into that album literally as soon as I wasn't on a schedule for treatment. "But I hadn't processed how to publicly express myself at that time. My fans know I've expressed myself that way."
September 14, 201014 yr Those songs should definitely have been included on X. Not only are they awesome (the two we heard on tour) but I think people were really expecting the album to be a bit more personal after everything she had been through and it was lacking in that department.

September 15, 201014 yr Both songs should've included on the album and to be frank, I have never expected her to sing something like "I had cancer and I could've died" blah blah blah - which was the criticism at that time that the album not being more personal.
