THE REVIEW
Being the sister of the world's biggest pop music singer is not always easy, and Dannii Minogue knows this well. However, she always tries to shake off the image of her sister Kylie and continue on her own path.
In 1998, following the success of the single "All I Wanna Do" from her third studio album "Girl" released the previous year, while her sister Kylie seems to no longer have the same success, Dannii seizes the moment and offers her fans a truly unique opportunity to follow her on tour between London and Australia.
The tour is called "Unleashed" and features performances in late 90s London clubs and in Sydney and Melbourne nightclubs. Dannii manages to create a dance show and brings it to a pop level comparable to Kylie or Madonna, trying to surprise the audience.
Starting with "This is It," her biggest hit of the 90s, moving on to "Show You the Way to Go" (1993) and "So in Love with Yourself" (1997). "Coconut," "It's Amazing" and "Everything I Wanted" but also "Heaven Can Wait" and "Baby Love" are among other gems from the new album. During the tour, Dannii also dresses as a nun and jokes with her audience. For once, she is the queen in the Minogue house and sings a medley of dance songs and disco anthems "Heart of Glass / You Make Me Feel & the Rhythm of the Night."
The most important unreleased track of 1995 seems to be "Don't Wanna Leave You Now?" while it is "Jump to the Beat and All I Wanna Do" that closes the tour in endless applause.
The "Unleashed" tour remains the only tour to date for Dannii Minogue, although for each subsequent album there have been a series of concerts scattered around the world to support the physical material.
Dannii rocks on stage; she has an amazing vocal talent and a fighting spirit. Unfortunately, her sister Kylie hasn't left her much to do; already in 1999, Kylie was ready with a duet with the Pet Shop Boys and a five-album contract with Parlophone, becoming the greatest artist of the moment.
Come on, Dannii, try again, you can improve, but hurry up.
