Kylie Minogue
Kiss Me Once Tour

THE REVIEW

"Kiss me once" tour 2014 is the 14th world tour of Kylie Minogue, the most well-known Australian pop star in the world. The tour supports the pop princess's latest album "kiss me once," her twelfth studio album, released in 2014 and preceded by the beautiful single "into the blue."

The "Kiss me once" tour is a show full of surprises, twists, costumes, grand scenography, and perfection. A tour that certainly makes you dream but once again consecrates Kylie Minogue as the pop princess, second only to Madonna.

The show opens with a remix of a great '90s track by Kylie "Breath," one of her least sold singles. Right afterward, Kylie emerges majestically from under the stage, seated in sexy and hot poses on a lip-shaped sofa to the tune of "les sex" from her latest album, a dance track like many others. It then moves on to "In my arms" from the X album in 2007 and "timebomb," a 2012 single that brought Kylie to number one in many countries with a pop-dance club track.

Then it moves on to sections with the legendary '80s hits reworked and reproduced with late '80s sounds when a very young Kylie Minogue sang "step back in time," "never too late," "hand on your heart," "i should be so lucky."

The concert's central part is almost the most rock with songs like "Slow" (remix), "Sexcercise" from the new album, "can't get you out of my head" (yet another revisitation of this number 1 from 2001), and "i need you tonight" by Inxs, a tribute from Kylie to her ex-boyfriend who was part of the rock group but unfortunately died of drugs; a very womanly Kylie who sets aside her nightclub diva persona for a bit.

The part preceding the concert's end includes "spinning around," "kiss me once" from the new album, many a cappella songs at the fans' request with whom Minogue interacts, calling one every night to sing, playing with them humming old unforgettable hits.

"All the lovers" and "love @ first sight" seem to want to close this concert but reckon with "into the blue," the real 2014 hit marked Kylie Minogue who, with 26 years of career, really seems not to want to let go.

The show is masterfully created by William Baker, now a friend of Kylie who has worked with her since 1997 for many tours and beyond.

The outfits of the "kiss me once tour" are by D&G but also by JP Goultier.

If "kiss me once" didn't make big sales, the tour emphasizes how Kylie Minogue can attract a large crowd of fans from all over the world.

She herself says "even if my records don't sell anymore my tours do: I'm like the Rolling Stones."
