Kylie Minogue
U.S. Gays go Crazy for Kylie
Australian pop princess is wowing a legion of gay fans on her first ever tour of North America.
Pink feathers, sparkling leotards, sci-fi glam-tastic costumes and muscle boys aplenty - topped off with a large dollop of Aussie charm – it could only be Kylie Minogue.
The 41 year old singer who has achieved pop superstar status practically everywhere except America arrived in the U.S. this week for a nine date tour.
Hitching a ride atop a giant silver skull that descended slowly to the stage Minogue opened the first night of her U.S. extravaganza with “Light Years” and proceeded to wow the audience with a two hour dance-pop repertoire that could only be matched by Madonna.
“You’re everything I’ve dreamt of for 20 years” she told the screaming crowd made up of pre-teens, women and, of course, gay men. The star’s gay appeal extends around the globe where she has consistently topped gay pop diva polls for the last two decades.
Despite topping the charts several times in Britain, Europe and Australasia she has only ever scored two sizeable hits in the U.S. with “Locomotion” and “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”.
It’s been quite a journey for Minogue who first came to prominence in the Australian soap opera “Neighbours” in the mid 80’s. Her first single release, a cover of 60’s hit “Locomotion”, made number one on the Australian charts and lead to an association with pop hit producers Stock, Aiken & Waterman who penned many of her early hits.
A breast cancer diagnosis in 2005 halted Minogue’s career for a period, but she bounced back in 2008 releasing her 10th album ‘X’ and a world tour that saw her perform in more than 21 countries.
