13 // Got to Be Certain

http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzcnffbqfr1r0jd3uo1_500.gif

Average: 7.7 | Highest score: 10

Comfortably in the top 15 are Shocked and Got to Be Certain. The former is a great song, and probably performed best live - notably both the Showgirl and X2008 tours, and it works perfectly blended in with What Do I Have To Do, and the arrangement for X2008 with the cheerleaders and Queen Kylie among them is perfect, too [/pointlessblabbingaboutthetoursthatiabsolutelyadore], and at #13 is Got to Be Certain, again, not one of her best, but definitely a very nice song!
'Locomotion' is the best thing ever when you're pissed! :D With 'Did It Again', the video is better than the song (although it's still a fun pop song all the same). 'Shocked' and 'Got to Be Certain' are great as well, not ones I'd listen to by choice though.
Pleased to see Locomotion nice and low, shame Got To Be Certain couldn't sneak into the top 10 though. Utterly glorious.

11 // Some Kind of Bliss

Average: 8.1 | Highest score: 10

Failing to reach the top 10 is Where the Wild Roses Grow, Kylie's collaboration with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, and while the video is very engaging, and perfectly fitting, the song itself is just a tragedy. And let me continue my pointless talk about the Showgirl tour, for the section where it is wedged between two parts of Red Blooded Woman, it is at least bearable. The Abbey Road version is much better, but also ruined by Nick's dreary vocals. Also failing to get into that top 10 is Some Kind of Bliss, how blissful, yet again - not one of her best.

Nick's "dreary" vocals are what MAKES the song :lol: having them pitted against Kylie's very fragile and soft voice is just a match made in Heaven.

Some Kind Of Bliss is one of her most underrated singles :(

10 // Hand on Your Heart

http://cdn.idolator.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/25/kylie-minogue-hand-on-your-heart-435x580.jpg

Average: 8.2 | Highest score: 10

At the very bottom of the top 10 is the absolutely beautiful Hand on Your Heart (as excellently performed by Kylie on the Showgirl tour :kink:). Its newest recording, The Abbey Road version, is just as beautiful as the original, and it seems to have gotten less recognition than it deserves with its lowest score here being a 4 (probably by the repeat terrible rater). This managed to pick up 4 10's, though, and a healthy amount of scores between 7 and 9.5!

09 // Turn It Into Love

Managing to pick up a whopping seven 10's and a mixed bag of other scores at #9 is Turn It Into Love - a fabulous song from Kylie pre 21st century. Probably unable to be one place higher due to the amount of low scores it received, more than one 4 and 5 - with most scores just about half, or between 6 and 8.
No at 'Some Kind of Bliss' just missing out on the Top 10! :( This and 'I Don't Need Anyone' are the best ones from Impossible Princess - do more like these, Kylie! I don't find 'Hand On Your Heart' one of Kylie's best, quite surprising to think this is in her Top 5 (?) best sellers in the UK! :o

08 // Never Too Late

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/d3/Never_Too_Late_Kylie.jpg

Average: 8.3 | Highest score: 10

At #8 is the very beautiful (well, the Abbey Road version is, anyway) Never Too Late, a classic Kylie track! Shame it's not in the top 5, but there are after all more songs below it that have missed out on the top 5. It managed to bag six 10's and various 9's, with its lowest score being 4, but that was from the rate that we shall all forget about. All other scores varied from 7 to 9.5!
I love both the original and the Abbey Road version of 'Never Too Late'. Just beautiful! :wub: Love the reference to it in Doctor Who - another reason why David Tennant is the best doctor! :D

07 // Breathe

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/1311663/kylie-breathe-o.gif

Average: 8.3 | Highest score: 11

Without a doubt one of the best songs from Kylie in the 80's and 90's, yet it has been scandalously ROBBED of a place in the top 3. Such a beautiful song, yet not quite beautiful enough for all of the fans. It picked up only three 11's, but also did not receive a score any lower than 6, with a lot of them ranging from 7 to 9.5, and three 10's were given as well.
It's a shame they fudged the single mix of Breathe up, because the album version really is among her very best work.

I like both versions, although still quite baffled why they decided to release as a single a sped up version of the song... :blink:

06 // I Should Be So Lucky

Average: 8.4 | Highest score: 10

At #6 is probably the song that nearly everybody who has heard of Kylie would first associate with her pre-21st century, but it isn't quite good enough for fans to be able to make it into the top 5. A brilliant song, but only managed to pick up three 10's, and no 11's at all. It also had a mixed amount of scores from 7 to 9.5, but did not receive any score less than 6 (which was its only low score).

I only discovered the single mix years later so perhaps that's why it feels totally wrong to me. I'd imagine the main reason for the speeding up was because they thought a shorter version would get more radio play.
