May 7, 200916 yr Author perez is ecstatic about it! "Just got off the phone with Kylie! I don't wanna reveal her surprise for the tour. But, she promises to bring a BIG production to America!"
May 7, 200916 yr Guys I don't want to dent your enthusiasm, the venue that she is going to perform in New York only house 2500 people so it's hardly BIG production. ;)
May 7, 200916 yr True but the Hollywood bowl can hold up to 17,376. Plus "Big Production" doesnt mean huge attendnce just that the show itself will have a big production. Wont know till the show shtarts though.

May 9, 200916 yr Kylie will blow them all away and be hugely succesful. Even the crappy X album is much better than 99% of the crappiest of the market. :lol:
