Just watched the documentary.

I remember having tapes of her first album at the Primary school disco. I loved her edgier tracks, didn’t like the hot pants song, but loved Can’t get you out of my head’
The Jason Donovan phase was interesting and how miserable she looked on holiday when he was filming her and how quickly she appeared to move on to Michael Hutchence (spelling)
The cancer episodes were heartbreaking and I’m intrigued by her relationship with Dani.
She seems to glow and seems very kind hearted, but I still don’t get a sense of her as a person or who she is, no idea why?!

Anyone else?

There is another thread about this but I'll post on here too.
Kylie has been my girl crush since I was about 10, she was and still is beautiful!
I think it was understandable JD would have been bitter about her dumping him for MH, and interesting that she kind of glossed over it or didnt mention she felt badly. But since it was nearly 40 years ago, and hes married with 3 kids, im surprised at how aggressively he answered.

I think they both have what the other desperately wanted - she has had stratosphere global success (incidentally I dont think because she's a better singer or actor, but more from charisma, and a kind of star quality) which coupled with going off with a famous rock star - would have been a bitter pill. And yet he has settled down and had kids, which is something that Kylie wanted but was not able to have...

I think maybe he sees her as his first love and is a bit obsessed....but she feels the same way about MH.

Edited

I was that age when I first saw her. Loved her!

I’ve worked with kylie quite a lot. She’s hands down one of the nicest kindest shortest people I know!

She has made a little talent go a long way

Absolutely admire her resilience, positivity and love for her family. Agree there was a lot still kept back but I really enjoyed the documentary. Liked how she developed her astuteness about the music industry as she grew up around those awful middle aged men.
She was very brave through the cancer ordeal and it was moving to see her finally get to Glastonbury.

I thought she came across as an absolutely lovely person. I really warmed to her.

and at the same time I found her so incredibly bland.

Yes this completely!

Really enjoyed the documentary but it looks like i'm in the minority as I really felt for Jason...at the end of the day, it sounds like Kylie cheated on him with MH whilst he was in the same room! ("they disappeared into the bathroom") and given the fact that he believed she was the woman he was going to marry and settle down with, he must have been devastated. You can see how bitter and emotional he is, even all these years later...sad. I was just watching and imagining the outrage if it had been the other way around and Jason had gone into a bathroom with another woman!!!

But why go on a documentary and show how bitter you still are? Get over it!

I need to watch this documentary…I first loved Kylie when I was at primary school!
