Celebrating her second consecutive #1 Billboard Club hit off of Aphrodite, “Get Outta My Way” Kylie Minogue DAZZLED American television audiences twice last week. First, with an appearance on Dancing With The Stars and finally on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. See! THIS is why I love Kylie Minogue. Unlike a lot of dance pop artists out there, the pint size pop princess can really sing. This really became clear to me after seeing her live last year in Chicago on her first ever North American tour. While her DWTS performance was more in line with what we’ve seen before on some of her European TV appearances, on The Tonight Show, Ms. Minogue showed us a different side. Minogue performed her new single backed by Ricky Minor and his band. Vocally-speaking, I think Minogue sounded a bit stronger on DWTS but she does alright on Leno, having a ball the whole entire time. When Kylie’s having fun, you can see it on her face. Her joy just bubbles over. As if two TV appearances weren’t enough. Minogue will also grace us with her presence on the November 7th episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. “Get Outta My Way” impacts mainstream radio on November 1st.
On the tour front, Kylie will launch her “Aphrodite – Les Folies 2011” world tour in Denmark on February 19th. I’m eagerly awaiting news on Kylie’s US tour dates, which should be next Spring. Please come to Boston this time Kylie. Love Jamie.
