That is a very solid review.

I did pay attention to the line Kylie lost the author and many others around Body Language, X and Aphrodite time.

It is an interesting point as i would have thought X brought people back that Kylie lost in the Body Language era.

Aphrodite provided All The Lovers which is one of her biggest selling hits.

That body language album was the worst step in her career from single choices to song choices...

I mean refusing a song like toxic for some songs on that album??!

I guess she was drunk on success and sunk down, many people came back with her single I believe in you which was a great return for her and a great airlay success plus a quality title with mainstream appeal...

The formula of this song was rehashed and All the lovers was created which was a great song and instant classic.

Dancing was a clever lead single this time around, if it was released properly with single and physical impact on same week with Tv performance it would have been a top 20 hit for her, although the song suffered from bad production in my opinion.

To be fair, she did state once that the original demo version of 'Toxic' she first heard was wildly different to the one that ended up being for Britney, so who knows?

 

I can't really see that song suiting Kylie particularly anyway.

This is a point a lot of people don't realise about hits being turned down by other artists. The Toxic we know and the demo Kylie heard were likely massively different - things change.

She did something different and it didn't completely pay off. It happens. I'm glad she's been willing to take risks throughout her career, and Slow is still one of my favourite pop songs and pop videos of all time.

Typical Daily Mail, making a point of mentioning her age in the headline. :rolleyes:

 

Such lowlives.

I would agree with your comments.

The sound she was creating around the I Believe In You, White Diamond and Giving You Up era would have been the perfect style and sound to naturally follow the massive success of Fever.

If Kylie went with that direction instead of the disappointing Body Language i believe she would have had a much greater result with a higher selling album.

I Believe In You was received very well and held in more regard than the Body Language singles.

Golden is a re-entry in the Australian Album Artist Chart at Number 20.

It however, is not in the main Top 50 chart.

Surprised we haven’t seen a special tour edition of the album for Australia - they always seem to pull out great revamped albums!

Apparently Say Hey forum is saying there will be a midnight announcement on Friday. Tour DVD details perhaps?

Fingers crossed! Will keep things ticking over until the shows etc., start again.

 

Although a midnight announcement on Friday seems random?!

Are we any further forward yet with regards to finding out if there will be a DVD or not? Will be a great shame if there isn't, but I feel like the time for it's been and gone now especially since it seems the summer shows might lean more towards focusing on Step Back In Time now.

^^ I think the time has passed now for us to get one :nocheer: I never understand why acts don’t release them tbh - I know they have a limited shelf life but when you have played to 1,000s of fans there is clearly a market for them plus the cost of the tour has already been accounted for so this is an extra revenue stream.

 

They could have easily re-packed ‘Golden’ for the Christmas market and added a tour DVD - would have given the album a huge final boost and kept the fans happy rather than giving us yet another ‘limited edition’ cassette!

Agreed, there's definitely a market for it considering she's released almost every other tour on DVD too (even Kiss Me Once).

 

I get the impression that instead of going for this they decided to push the cassette novelty further which is a shame. :(

I would be surprised if they don't release a DVD, I mean, think of money they will make!

I think they are waiting for the summer shows to be over to release the dvd and riding on the wave of Glastonbury, I think it would be a nice strategy not to release it now...

Not releasing it at all would be a missed opportunity for cashing in and pleasing the fans.

I'd be surprised if we didn't receive a tour DVD as we know that some of the shows were professionally filmed. I reckon they're waiting for the buzz of the summer shows to release it too; 'New York City' seems like advertisement for a Golden Tour DVD as well as the summer shows if the video is anything to go by.

And you’ll be able to relive the entire #GoldenTour soon...

Pretty much confirmation the DVD is on the way. Finally!
