'Word Is Out' - Never really liked this one, find it incredibly weak and what the hell were they thinking of having this as the lead single, it's not awful it's just odd, and talk about a massive comedown after the brilliant 'ROL' era, thankfully the follow up singles were miles better than this, but the album itself wasn't very good either and probably remains my least fave of her albums so far. I think 'Right Here Right Now' would have been a better choice as a lead single than this.

 

'Into The Blue' - Yes this is very decent and was a good comeback song for her, even if it didn't become a chart smash. At the time I truly loved this, but now while I still do like it, it just lacks that something special for me, I dunno what, just feel like there's something missing, and that music video looks more like a tampon advert. While this was definitely the best choice for lead single from 'KMO', and honestly I don't think any other track would have done any better.

One of the better songs on Aphrodite but I was never that keen on the video, another video that tailors to all the gays.

'What Kind Of Fool (Heard All That Before)' - I don't care what anyone says, it's awesome and just love it, and this was her last original PWL single and yeah it's probably their last great song as well. It's very fun and totally camp, and very Kylie and honestly I thought that this was a great swansong for her, as she would move on to her Indie phase shortly after, on her Greatest Hits this was definitely the best song out of the 3 new tracks on there. Although I do have a soft spot for 'Where In The World'. I also really liked the music video, the Bridget Bardot look really suited her, very cheesy and very early Kylie.

 

'Get Outta My Way' - Another firm fave of mine and this was the obvious choice to follow up 'ATL', and is definitely the best track on the album (after the lead single). I do agree the music video is a let down, and personally don't find that it really fits the song, I think the video should have been more fast paced, with loads of high energy dancing, something that suits the nature of the song. I think if it had a better video, then the song might have performed better, this at least deserved a top 10 placing. But anyway the song is still great and awesome, and probably a forgotten highlight in her discography, cause apart from her fans, who actually remembers this.

I totally forgot about "where in the world" I actually really like that song, obviously not single worthy but just like you I have a soft spot for it

How did this song not go Top 10, I love this song, in fact I love “lets gets to it” such an under rated album and era over all

'Finer Feelings' - Yeah really like this one, it's not one of my faves from Kylie, but it's a very decent and very sophisticated pop song, with gorgeous music and stellar production and was definitely a highlight on 'Let's Get To It', although in it's single form though, the album version is okay, but this is so much better and really gives it more life. An often forgotten gem that gladly got re-worked for 'The Abbey Road Sessions' which gave it a new overhaul, and both versions are fantastic, but as always I'm probably boring and rather the single version, it's just very classy and I think the reason this didn't do that well at time, I think she was still reeling from the backlash Kylie was getting from the press and public, due to her breaking up with Jason Donovan and sexing up her image and dating Michael Hutchience, which was just totally ridiculous at the time and still now, an artist should be judged on their music, not what they do in their personal life. Also I think that at one point this was planned as the 2nd single, but due to the flop of 'WIS', they decided to play it safe with a ballad 'IYWWME', instead and then due to quite poor album sales, they tried releasing a cover (an even safer choice) as the next single, then that did well, then finally decided to go with this, seeing as it's the 4th single and the album still wasn't selling big, so they basically had nothing to lose and it did rather okay I think a #11 peak and coming 6 months after the album's release isn't bad at all in my opinion. Although In my eyes I totally agree that this at least deserved a top 10 placing, but just seems the world wasn't ready for Kylie to grow up.

Get ouuta my way I do like slightly more than I used to but I still think picking it as a 2nd single was a huge mistake and did the album no favours. What kind of fool is probably one her most cheesiest singles but I cant help but like it.

 

Finer Feelings is a song I never really listen to and was never a huge fan of it, i remember more been disappointed it missed the top 10 by one place and i also remember going to my local record store to buy the single and been happy to hear it was in stock but was disappointed by the cover for it, i thought the cover was awful and i still don't like it.

 

 

The Abbey Roads version of Finer Feelings is without doubt the strongest version of the song. I have always liked Finer Feelings, it was one of her more mature songs from her pwl releases, that said it is probably one of her most forgotten singles.

 

Get Outta My Way, it is a good song but not a good single choice. I do agree Feel the Fever it did nothing for sales of the album and i was bitterly disappointed it was selected as the second single. That said, All the Lovers was always going to be very tough to follow up as i am of the belief All The Lovers is one of her finest moments.

 

GOMW would have likely done better if released when they planned to, plus nothing else wold have helped the album any more than it did.

I like the original so its hard not to like this version as they don't change or update it which is good. Mariah always annoyed me in the video. Terrible chart run though.

No, just no, this is song I never listen to and like to forget she even did, what a sad way to leave PWL.

Celebration live can be good in some versions like at Christmas Kylie. That said, the studio version is ever so bland. Everybody Hurts, i was never a massive fan of the original (i much prefer other wonderful songs by R.e.m) but i disliked this version even more. It was all for a good cause which was very nice.
I just tried listening to 'Celebration' again for the first time in years and about the 10th time in my life, it really is god-awful. I stopped after a minute and a half.

Helping Halti - Everybody Hurts = Don't really have an opinion on this, it's a nice enough cover and it's for a good cause so that's it.

 

Celebration = I don't hate this like a lot of people do, it's okay enough, nothing special or amazing or anything really. I really like the Kool & The Gang original and this doesn't do anything new or interesting with it and it was her last PWL single, although in my eyes 'What Kind Of Fool' was her last real single for that era, and I kinda get why this was released it was a goodbye to an era. This is not something I very rarely go back to these days, and the music video was fun and does capture the nature of song. But on the whole, this is a bland and uninspired and was basically tacked on to her Greatest Hits at the last minute, because apparently this was meant to be on her 'Let's Get To It' album, thankfully it wasn't. But yes this is definitely her worst PWL single.

My opinion on this song always changes, first I like it, then I dont, Body Language was her worst album in my opinion and I suppose this is one of the better options for a single.

How can BL be her worst when the early PWL albums exist. :o
