Yes and she turned into a global megastar and one of the most respected artists in the world.
Michael also gave us Skyhooks.

Yeah but all her songs sounded the same.

Yeah but all her songs sounded the same.

Early on they did during the Stock Aitken Waterman era but later on her sound became more diverse.
Impossible Princess an album which is often overlooked is one of her best.

A special place in hell should be reserved for the bloke who gave us the singing budgie.

Her music isn't really my cup of tea, but there is no disputing Kylie is a legit star. She left the other Stock, Aitken & Waterman products flailing helplessly in her wake. One of the very few who has also managed to be way hotter at 50 than she was at 18.

She tried so hard to impersonate Madonna..

And is now so many miles in front of Madonna. In the early days neither Madonna or Kylie could even sing , Madonnas vocals were weak but she made a very successful brand for her self and yes i agree Kylie did copy it, but as of now Kylie is so far ahead of Madonna, Madonna now is almost an embarrassment but i will never diss her because of early work especially for sexual freedom and her fight during the HIV aids crisis and all the work she did there but Kylie now is so far removed from her singing budgie catergory and a megastar in her own right , i totally love both women and their work but Kylie is still in her prime commercially and Madonna has been washed up for a long while now.

And both of these amazing women i have in my CD music collection.

Last time Madonna had a legitmate number 1 hit she couldnt impersonate the original artist she had to sample it , the artist /group was ABBA, im so glad she did justice to the song and group.

I agree don’t get me wrong i don’t mind Kylie but Madonna was better, I remember at school every w#g girl wanted to impersonate Madonna, I remember going to the Kazi club in the 80s at Kingsford on a Friday night it was Maddona song after another.

Yes Madonnas early songs were great, I love her first album and play it quite a lot, love Borderline and also off the album the song called I Know It, really came a Madonna fan with Burning Up. Kylie’s early work makes me cringe and I can’t listen to it but I really started listening to her with the Better the Devil You Know, What Do I Have To Do and Step Back in Time era in 1990, Kylie was starting to grow up.
