To be annoyed with Kylie Minogue?

[GumFossil]

She’s on the One Show. My son looked up her age as he didn’t believe she could be pushing 60. She looks 30. What the heck?

She's gorgeous inside and out. I love her ❤️

I saw her on something yesterday and looked at her and actually told her to 'fuck off' 😂😂Doesn't help that my DH has a massive crush on her 🙄

Sorry. That wasn't obvious. People here get their knickers in a twist about how other women look, like they're being oppressed by the patriarchy when another woman chooses to prioritise her appearance.

I'm a bit slow. 🤣

Having been to her most recent tour I’d have to disagree. She’s clearly worked very hard on her vocal training and it showed.

Not for a while until checking her out on the One Show tonight.

Just looked her up on instagram. She does look fantastic! I was a young child when she first became really famous and now she looks younger than me.

Honestly, hop on YouTube and take a look at the video for Dannii’s version of Hakuna Matata. What was she thinking 😂

Op should point that out to the errant child🤣👍

I once mistook her for a child. Admittedly she did have her back to me and this was about 25 years ago. She is tiny, minuscule frame and seemed barely 5ft.

Looked at her IG. Yep she looks great. Some good help but also face structure.

She’s never been able to sing ,nasally whining at best , talentless and good PR

She looks absolutely fantastic.

But she looks like a 50 something year old woman who ahs had some touch ups, definitely not in her 30's.

She definitely doesn’t look 30, maybe very late 40’s/early 50’s but she looks great and has a lovely figure which she must work hard to maintain. She also seems really nice and like she would be good fun.

If you have to explain it, it's not a joke...

Yes I just googled her to see- she does look spectacular, she’s nearly 20 years older than me and I definitely look a lot more tired! It’s also really hard to keep weight off if you’re a shorty as you get older so wild kudos.

However I have to agree she doesn’t look 30. She looks very well maintained but I guessed 45-50 before I checked (something I’d be delighted with at 57!)

This. See also Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga. If you listen to them doing very early perfomances, they were a bit pitchy, and their voice(s) weren't very strong. I saw a recording of Taylor performing the song 'Fifteen' at the BBC when she was about 19, and she was average at best. Still good, and talented, and you could see a big star in the making, but she wasn't very good.

Same story for Ri and Gaga.

I think all 3 are amazing now. Taylor has a lovely, strong voice, and Ri and Gaga sound much more powerful.

Kylie is a bit like this. She was average when she first started, and sang a bit off key live, but she got good fairly quickly and her live singing is very good now.

There are some singers who have been amazing since they were 10! Like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, Hayley Williams, and so on, but for some others their singing talent had to be nurtured and honed.

For some the good live singing never came. Madonna is not brilliant live, and Katy Perry is terrible. Kim Wilde I have always liked, and I love most of her songs, but her live singing is quite poor. In fact when Kim is performing live she actually has her niece singing with her most of the time. as a 'backing' singer.

Madonna actually admitted herself once that her singing is not brilliant, but she said she enjoys performing on stage, and dancing, and she enjoyed writing songs, and let's face it, she is a great performer, and always has been, and she has made some brilliant pop songs!

One of the best singers - on 'record' and live IMO is Carol Decker from T'Pau. Brilliant voice!

Op - point out how old various amazing successful young men are Vs him

I mean she's clearly had a massive amount of cosmetic intervention.

Back in the early 90s my daughters had been to see Ghost and were drooling over Patrick Swayze, I had seen something about him in one of their magazines so was able to point out that he was four years younger than me so I had a better chance than a couple of young teens!

Australia has a very Body Beautiful culture... it's how I imagine California (used to live in Oz, never been to Cali). This helps a lot, I think - plenty of exercise and a super healthy diet. It's partly because you are more often likely to have to appear in public wearing a bikini! We can rely on hoodies to hide things here!

I'm not a fan of Kylie's music, but I think there's far more to her than any of us can see or judge.

She's clearly a very clever and accomplished person, with a very rich life she finds satisfying. She only ever gives us tiny glimpses of who she really is. She manages to navigate fame with ease, she never gives very much away. We see the odd wild move, or exciting affair, or battle with cancer - which she owns - but she gives us no explanations, no exposes, no drama. How does she do that in a culture that demands everything must scrutinised and laid bare? Yet we love her, she respect us, and she gets it back. The odd person trys to tell us she's 'horrid', but nothing sticks. Something Madonna, Bey, Mariah and Myliee would be jealous of, I recon.

She's obviously had work done, but it's subtle.

Omg I thought she looked like Reagan from the exorcist in first photo that came up

the thick inch make up making her eyes set back

in real life I’m sure she’d look very plastic

Oh that is surprising that she has not released an autobiography. I agree that it would be an interesting read. She has had a long, successful career, after all. She does come across as very likeable, she reminds me in a way of Judy Garland. Nice.
