WHY DO YOU GET AWAY WITH SAYING IT?

 

[Funky]

I even peppered my criticism with compliments!

 

[Dark Carnival]

GODDESS

 

[octophone]

Well, budget is down...

 

[Kratz]

I even peppered my criticism with compliments!

Too little, too late. Taking Eurovision AND Kylie down in one post is surely grounds for a BAN

Fair

Bye gays, it’s been a fun 20 years.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

I think this is the first Kylie song that I’ve heard and not disliked since Aphrodite.

 

[Eddie]

VIDEO PREMIERING NOW

Erm, the colours are nice I suppose and she looks amaze.

Doesn't take away from the song.

 

[Jark]

the video is more kitsch than I expected for this song. but Sophie doesn't seem able to do anything else.

I quite LIKE IT though. Kylie looks fab and the setups/mild choreo are beaut.

 

[Eddie]

It's the lighting that is inconsistent throughout the video that spoils it for me.

Kylie looks stunning as usual but in some shots her face is so washed out and in others there is a warmth that just makes it look so amateur overall.

I can't say I'm surprised given who directed it.

 

[Jark]

it really is quite amazing that the same woman who once shot this delightful visual feast...



...now gets it badly wrong at least 4 times out of 5.

 

[lolly]

Yeah, the video is a bit shit

I refuse to let it in any way lessen the magnificence of the song though.

Rather like the Say Something video!

 

[Eddie]

but at this:

 

[lolly]

Rather like the Say Something video!

Who remembers that even exists? And why would anyone ever choose to watch it when the UTTER JOY that is the Infinite Disco video is out there!

 

[lolly]

I think for the sake of my own sanity (frail as it is), I'm going to leave the SayHey Facebook group. Unbridled lunacy.

 

[lolly]

Although perhaps me posting on moopy mere hours ago that I wanted to die before her leaves me in no position to comment

 

[Pipo]

The whole single package is perfect and just what she should be doing at this stage.

Pray tell more

 

[RJN]

I think this is the first song I’ve bought on iTunes in 10 years

 

[Eddie]

A child and what looks like a pensioner are part of the dancing troupe. Aww.

 

[Pipo]

I can't believe @VoR hasn't picked up which DINER is it yet No wonder it looked familiar

 

[ButterTart]

I was fully prepared to continue my run of not having an opinion on anything Kylie Minogue has done since All The Lovers but this is a BANGER

 

[Kala]

I LOVE this and the video is great. She looks amazing and the choreo is brilliant. I don’t really give a fuck about the lighting.

Even the "straights" like it! CROSSOVER HIT

 

[RJN]

Universally loved!!

 

[Halli]

I declare this a proper fully stocked lead single mixed with buzz and passion.

What a great time to have Dannii's passion project single on 2nd June too

 

[Eddie]

So I actually like the video now.

Sophie Muller's shonky editing somehow works for this song. And as for the lighting, in the post apocalyptic world in which it's set (where somehow condiments in a diner remain looking pristine), it's the last of their worries really.

 

[Apoca]

Padam?

 

[Pipo]

uhm, excuse me?? @Eddie



SLAY A BIT KYLIE

 

[Eddie]

First I've heard about it.

 

[Mike(y) W]

Nah. It's not for me. Good luck to her though. She's always been brilliant at being a popstar, even when the output is a bit rubbish.

 

[Loufoque]

This is exquisite.

I really didn't think she could beat Say Something (one of her all-time best), but this swerves back to that Fever-Slow sound twenty years later.

The video is a moment. I could imagine this smashing beyond the gays.

 

[Loufoque]

She looks so iconic, and cool, in the video.

QUEEN!

 

[Loufoque]

I can't stop watching the video and smiling. Queen did that.

 

[Devil]

This is fabulous, well done KYLIE

She just fucking gets what her job is doesn’t she?

 

[Nancy]

I wonder how wealthy she is now. It must be greater than £100m surely.
