She really can’t sing well at all.

Yvbmioasp · 29/11/2018 09:09

@longwayoff

That’s very ageist of you.

longwayoff · 29/11/2018 09:11

And?

Avegemitesandwich · 29/11/2018 09:14

*She's ever not been auto tuned, but she is lovely and looks great.

longwayoff · 29/11/2018 09:21

Whoops! Apologies. 78 years old.

HowlsMovingBungalow · 29/11/2018 09:23

His voice sounds 78 too.

I saw her MM the other night. Yep she isn't a great singer but never has been, she was really good fun though and so lovely to the karaoke crew. Thought she was fab.

Rod Stewart really needs to retire. Who buys those dreadful swing records he makes?

And Nick Knowles- nuff said.

Kylie is a great performer. Her music isn’t my bag, but she’s fun to watch. She looked incredible in that star dress!

EachandEveryone · 29/11/2018 09:41

Who are we to say who should retire and who should keep going? I hope you never come across ageism in your work place.

WhoKnewBeefStew · 29/11/2018 09:42

There’s not many singers these days that can sing well live. I don’t think she’s brilliant but she’s ok, I still think she’s fab tho

necromumda · 29/11/2018 10:05

Funnily enough, Dannii is a better singer but just wasn't as lucky (pardon the pun)

puzzledlady · 29/11/2018 10:12

She’s an awful singer - Kylie only really became famous because of Neighbours I think. She looks good for her age though. Smile

puzzledlady · 29/11/2018 10:13

^^ and yes - Dannii was always the better singer.

captainpantbeard · 29/11/2018 10:27

I'm not into her music but I LOVE Kylie. She's fun!

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 29/11/2018 10:32

I went to the Showgirl tour and have never been so bored in my entire life! I was prepared for the singing to be in the 'not great' realm but she kept nipping off for endless costume changes, every time the crowd got anywhere near to going off she went to change and we were treated to a dance routine by the back-ups. That said, I have loads of time for her as a person, think she's able to laugh at herself and think she's done amazingly well to have such a long-lasting career. She's clearly a grafter.

BitOutOfPractice · 29/11/2018 13:44

I blame kylie for the current trend for female singers to sing in a breathy little girl lispy voice. She has openly admitted to cultivating that style. I loathe if.

Other than that she seems like a nice woman and looks fabulous! I rather admire people like her who make the very best of what talent they've got.

longwayoff · 29/11/2018 13:56

Quite, practice. More power to those like Kylie who have to graft for it..She's made an amazingly successful career from little. Good luck to her.

Ezzie29 · 29/11/2018 13:59

She’s not an amazing singer but she’s not awful and as pp have said it doesn’t really matter as she can put on a show. I’m a better singer than her (I’m not saying I’m Celine Dion, but I am a better singer than Kylie) but she’s an international popstar with a career spanning 30 odd years and I didn’t even get past the producers stage of X Factor so singing isn’t everything when wien it’s your actual job.

Shockers · 29/11/2018 23:12

EachandEveryone, my comment was nothing to do with Rod Stewart’s age and everything to do with the utter dross he’s releasing lately.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 29/11/2018 23:25

Oh lay off Kylie she's awesome!

If you want an example of men who can't sing, Chris Martin!

lynnepot · 29/11/2018 23:28

I watched a bit of that last night .I don't think piano songs are for her no

AGHHHH · 29/11/2018 23:29

Why do we need an example of anyone else, specifically pointing out a man, who can't sing?

SinisterBumFacedCat · 29/11/2018 23:30

Technically amazing singers bore the fuck out of me, especially when they warble around

Yidette86 · 29/11/2018 23:47

Yes but I find that with a lot of the successful singers.

Madonna hasn't got a great voice, Rihanna sounds constipated, Beyonce is a screeching banshee, the list can go on...

Mariah can sing but goes over the top at times...
