History Music / KylieMinogue

* OlderThanTheyLook: She's over '''50'''. [[https://twitter.com/kylieminogue/status/1000874540115939330 Do you believe it?]]

!!This media personality contains examples of:

In the league of pop singers, a certain Australian comes second only to Music/{{Madonna}}. That woman is now old enough to be some of our tropers' mothers (well, so is Madonna, but let's not get into that).

* CloningBlues:
** The video for "Come Into My World" features Kylie rounding the same course in [[TheOner one continuous shot]]. As she does this copies of herself and the other people in the background.
** There is also the older video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhZM9jArBkw Did It Again]]" which has [[ThereCanOnlyBeOne four Minogues cat-fighting for dominance]].
** "Your Disco Needs You" has an army of Kylie clones!

The late 1990s saw Minogue make a generally unsuccessful attempt to take her music in a DarkerAndEdgier direction, which included a collaboration with Music/NickCave on his album ''Music/MurderBallads'' (where they sang the duet "Where the Wild Roses Grow"), and her 1997 album ''Impossible Princess'' (which was renamed ''Kylie Minogue'' in the UK, as it had been released just after the death of [[UsefulNotes/DianaPrincessOfWales Princess Diana]]). However, she hit platinum come the TurnOfTheMillennium with 2000's "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which topped the charts worldwide. The latter song in particular became her second top 10 hit in the US following "The Locomotion" a decade and a half earlier, and is considered one of the greatest dance/pop songs of the 2000s.

In the league of pop singers, a certain Australian comes second only to Music/{{Madonna}}. That woman is now old enough to be some of our tropers' mothers (well, so is Madonna, but let's not get into that). Kylie Ann Minogue [[UsefulNotes/KnightFever AO OBE]], born 28 May 1968 in Melbourne, (career 1984-Present) was a former ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' star and actress but later on became a singer, songwriter and world wide star.

10 Australian number one singles to her name (7 UK, 5 US Dance Play), Kylie started off as an actor, appearing in ''Neighbours'' as WrenchWench Charlene Mitchell. Her character, of course, married Music/JasonDonovan's character.

In between her many hits and her many music videos where she doesn't wear very much, she has continued to appear in acting roles every so often. ''Film/MoulinRouge'' is one example (''Film/StreetFighter'' is another, but [[OldShame we won't mention that]], and don't even ''start'' with ''Film/BioDome''). She managed to land a later role in LeosCarax's ''Film/HolyMotors''.

In the UK she was one of the leading lights of the late-80s Music/StockAitkenWaterman (SAW) hit factory, along with Jason Donovan and Music/RickAstley. SAW were responsible for producing early number one singles such as "I Should Be So Lucky" and "The Locomotion", with minimal input from Kylie herself.

After a generally unsuccessful attempt to take a DarkerAndEdgier direction - including a collaboration with Music/NickCave on his album ''Music/MurderBallads'', where they sang the duet "Where the Wild Roses Grow", and her 1997 album ''Impossible Princess'', which was renamed ''Kylie Minogue'' in the UK, as it had been released just after the death of Princess Diana - she hit platinum with 2000's "Spinning Around" and "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which topped the charts worldwide and even sold well in the United States, which has never really gone for dance-pop (or for Kylie, as it became only her second American Top-10 hit following "The Locomotion" a decade and a half earlier). "Head" in particular became one of the key singles of the 2000s and remains instantly recognisable today.

She had surgery for breast cancer in 2005, interrupting her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour, but has since made a full recovery. In 2014 she did double duty for ''Series/TheVoice'' joining both the UK and Australian versions of the show as a coach.

** ''[[HotterAndSexier Rhythm of Love and Let's Get To It]]'' still had the freestyle sound, but incorporated more new jack swing into them.
** ''[[SelfTitledAlbum Kylie Minogue]]'' was a fusion of R&B, jazz ,and house. It also marked her first foray in to experimenting with her style and sound.
** ''[[DarkerAndEdgier Impossible Princess]]'' (Minogue's first release on an indie label) was a combo of trip-hop, alt-rock, drum&bass, and eastern sounds.

** ''Fever'' (one of her largest selling albums) was more of a house and synthpop album.

** ''X'' and ''Aphrodite'' have been modern edgy electropop albums, either aimed a variety/complexity (X) or cohesion/vision (Aphrodite).
** ''Kiss Me Once'' has garnered SpiritualSuccessor comparisons to ''Body Language'' and ''X''.

* NonAppearingTitle - ''Kylie'', ''Kylie Minogue'' and ''Kylie Christmas'' but also ''X''.
** ''X'' is ZigZagged here: There is no track named "X", but, the original name of the album was supposed to be "Magnetic Electric", now, "Magnetic Electric" *does* exist as a song on ''X''... but it's only a bonus track.

* NotSafeForWork: The video for "Sexercize" somehow starts with a "May Contain Explicit Content" warning despite the song title being so obviously risque.

* RearrangeTheSong: She has done this a lot, remaking various songs into ballads, jazz, and electronica. Her 2012 compilation album ''The Abbey Road Sessions'' contains her grand hits in orchestral form.

* Main/{{Dominatrix}}: In a behind the scenes doc for the "Giving You Up" video, Kylie Minogue's giantess character is described as being a bit of a dominatrix or having a dominatrix vibe, especially when interacting with the nervous guy at the bar.
* DreamTeam: Music/RobbieWilliams, Bono, Music/NickCave, Jason Donovan, and Music/{{Coldplay}}... and that thing she did with the ''Series/DoctorWho'' team.

* Dominatrix: In a behind the scenes doc for the "Giving You Up" video, Kylie Minogue's giantess character is described as being a bit of a dominatrix or having a dominatrix vibe, especially when interacting with the nervous guy at the bar.

* ShesGotLegs: ''Fantastic'' legs. Proven by [[http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1575818/Why-Kylie-Minogue-could-have-the-perfect-legs.html SCIENCE]], no less! In an interesting twist on this trope, she's ''short'' (nice legs are often long legs, and long legs tend to happen on tall people.) Such is the power of the Kylie.

* ArtisticLicenseSpace: The chorus of “Supernova” claims that Jupiter and Mars are [[CriticalResearchFailure from another galaxy]].

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her infamous white 'dress' in "Can't Get You Out of My Head."

** ''[[DarkerAndEdgier Impossible Princess]]'' (Minogue's first release on an indie label) was [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly a combo of trip-hop, alt-rock, drum&bass, and eastern sounds]].

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: The albums "Impossible Princess", "Kylie Minogue", "X" and "Body Language" have extremely mixed elements of different types of sounds. Her hit single "Confide In Me" is particularly conflicted with Baroque, Classical, R&B and Pop elements all used.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Her famous gold hot pants from "Spinning Around".

* ArtisticLicenseSpace: The chorus of “Supernova” claims that Jupiter and Mars are [[CriticalResearchFailure from another galaxy]].
