To wish Kylie would just SHUT UP?

Yes I know, national treasure, cancer survivor, we all love the little poppet, lovely arse, blah blah but my god! What a whiney, annoying voice she has, and every song is a generic 'let's appeal to the gays and try and get another slot at G.A.Y as they are they only people who still love me' euro pop. She's pushing 40 for goodness sake. Can't she leave it to teenagers?

YANBU.

I personally have nothing against her, she is probably very nice, but put some bloody clothes on love!

And tell Madonna the same while you are at it!

mosschops30 · 30/09/2010 16:17

really? Kylie is 40???? Surely not she doesnt look a day older than when she started out, I mean she hasnt got a line on her face Hmm Biscuit

curryfreak · 30/09/2010 16:18

She's 42 actually!

Yes electra but do you think her music is lovely? Really, who can?

YANBU - I used to like her but when she started her frozen face look, I lost a bit of respect.
I thought she would not succumb to the call of botox. How wrong I was.

southeastastra · 30/09/2010 16:23

i started a thread this morning about the botox look, only one person posted to disagree Grin

i think it isn't doing her any favours in the long run though, slack skin has to go somewhere and it seems to be collecting on her jowles.

really really against any facial surgery for anyone, let alone young good looking women, makes me mad actually

mosschops30 · 30/09/2010 16:26

its waaay more than botox, I love botox but I DO NOT look anything like Kylie does with it. I imagine the odd face lift and some fillers have gone in there alongside some botox

Itsjustafleshwound · 30/09/2010 16:28

I found it really funny when she said she wasn't going to do the whole 'hotpants' and 'legs' thing and then proceeded to see no problem with the latest video ...

The emaciated, botox, fake-ness of her and others like her, makes me despair ...

Rocklover · 30/09/2010 16:29

YANBU, she is botoxed up to the hilt, all her songs are about dancing with sexy young blokes in clubs and she pretends she still 20 something instead of 40 something.

Her music just isn't relevant to women my age (I'm 36), so maybe the Gay scene is what she should be aiming at.

Can you tell I'm in a bad mood this afternoon?

NorbertDentressangle · 30/09/2010 16:31

YANBU.

I heard her singing a track from her album live on the radio yesterday -it sounded so nasally and whiney.

I also think she needs to ditch the pillow-face look.

And don't even get me started on her sister.....

Fluteyboots · 30/09/2010 16:36

YABVVVU. She is lovely and sparkly and disco-ey, and gorgeous yet unthreatening. She deffo had some crows' feet this morning on BBC. So not completely botoxed then.

Fluteyboots · 30/09/2010 16:38

La la la, la la la-la la, la la la..........I just can't get you outta my head.......

ShatnersBassoon · 30/09/2010 16:38

YANBU. She's a shrill waxwork.

Lizzylou · 30/09/2010 16:41

I do love some of her stuff(Spinning around, Confide in me and Love at first sight mostly), mindless dancy pop, but on BBC Breakfast this morning she was so very annoying.
False and irritating.

WhatsWrongWithYou · 30/09/2010 16:47

I head her on radio 1 yesterday (was on in a shop was in).

Her live version of 'can't get you out of my head' was performed in a ridiculous whisper, backed by - of all things - a string orchestra who must have been gritting their teeth.

Either she was aiming for a 'sexy' sound, or trying to disguise the fact she can't sing a note.

And, yes, nasal as well.

garageflower · 30/09/2010 16:51

YABU

I wish she was my best friend Sad

Lizzylou · 30/09/2010 16:53

Can't get you out of my head, that's another good one.
I have had many a wine fuelled jig around to Kylie songs.

TheBolter · 30/09/2010 16:55

YANBU. Kylie had her best days about 10 years ago. Now she needs to move on - either by developing her style or just... disappearing.

DaisyDaresYOU · 30/09/2010 16:56

Oh i hate that whiney song too.oh and to have it on advert is to much i despair of it

lucky1979 · 30/09/2010 17:10

She's had that pillow face surgery hasn't she? Where they put little pads under the cheeks. Not to mention the world's weekly consignment of botox all over.

noddyholder · 30/09/2010 17:17

She's not called the singing budgie for nothing you know Grin!

lady007pink · 30/09/2010 17:17

Aw, I love Kylie. She's 42 actually.

Drusilla · 30/09/2010 17:18

I saw her on BBC this morning and thought she compared very unfavourably with Julia Roberts who was on there the other day. And I think is older? She (Julia) looked amazing though, and was very polite and charming and un-whiny

Faaamily · 30/09/2010 17:20

She's botoxed to the hilt, little Kyles. I think she's quite sweet, though. All her songs sound the same, mind. I prefer her to Danni.
