Kylie lamprey. Biography of Kylie Minogue

Australian singer and actress Kylie Minogue is known in many parts of our planet. And like our beautiful Earth, Kylie is also diverse in her creativity. It would seem that she has left her mark on every style of pop music since she began her singing career in 1987. Kylie changed with every stage of her ascent to Olympus, she was not afraid of these changes, the singer lived by them. And so, she climbed Everest and, looking around her possessions, began the difficult descent.

Multifaceted with her talents. During her career, she not only sang songs and danced, but also starred in a TV series and even in a film. She also participated in joint projects with many famous people. And she is a frequent guest on television. In a word, an artist!

My attitude to the creativity of Kylie Minogue

My acquaintance with the work of Kylie Minogue began in the very early 90s, when I heard her first single Loco-motion. Later, I obediently followed the singer wherever her creative search led her. Simple songs from the SAW era, let them be! Her role in Outlaws introduced me to an entire era of Australian life that had previously been a dark spot for me.

A duet with compatriot Nick Cave and great albums with the Deconstruction label - I embraced the experiments with pleasure and still consider these albums to be the best in Kylie’s career. Returning to the fold of pop music and two action films Light years and Fever, again raised Kylie to the top of the world, and I once again welcome the change in image and sound. And even now, when she slowly but steadily descends to the platform from which she once began her musical life, as always, I'm keeping an eye on what's going on in Kylie's Universe.

I don’t like to scold singers or expect certain steps from them; I don’t demand from them inevitable victories and high places in the charts or recording songs in my favorite style. I see artists as sensitive receivers who sensitively capture the state of people and reflect what worries the minds of humanity. Therefore, the changes in Kylie's work have never disappointed me. If I don't like something, I simply don't include those songs in my playlist.

But what makes Kylie captivating? Everyone says: her sexy appearance and pleasant face, others repeat: beautiful voice, there is also an opinion: catchy dance rhythm. I don’t like the way she looks, I don’t think her voice is the most outstanding and the rhythms are much more catchy! The mystery of Kylie has always been beyond my reach. Until I realized: I am captivated by her sincerity.

After all, her genuine joy was captivating when she, with open arms, rushed around Melbourne like a small child. And the devilish grin in Better the devil you know also frankly stated: I understand what the point is, I play by your rules while I’m having fun. And when she got tired of it, she also sincerely left her first producers and began to take a creative approach to the songs that began to be released under her name. Then she believed in herself and even became the author of these songs. And we finally found out what worries this sincere girl. Still with the same burning gaze, she returned to pop music, having played enough with her alternative version. Kylie grabs hold of any project she believes in and brings it to the masses with holy naivety. So I know for sure: she is not deceiving me. As long as she herself believes in her transformations and chameleon games, she is the pop version David Bowie of our era.

Two sides of Kylie's creativity - official and unreleased songs

And now the question arises: to what extent does Kylie herself believe in herself? Fans of the singer are well aware of how many unreleased songs are stored in her archives. Some of them saw the light of day thanks to Kylie posting them on the Internet. We all know that the B-sides of her singles are sometimes brighter than the tracks that ended up on the albums. Aren't Extraordinary day, Paper dolls or Ocean blue amazing? But who has heard these songs? Isn’t Flower the most sincere song in the world? Published and unreleased duets are masterpieces Where the wild roses grow with Nick Cave, GBI with Tova Tey, Kids with Robbie Williams and Lhuna with Coldplay. And all this quality product, accurately reflecting the era.

Unreleased tracks and b-sides are the artist's choice, these are songs that Kylie believes in. An album, and especially singles, is the choice of the recording studio, that is, a bet on commercial success, and not on intrinsic value creative material. The pursuit of success has reduced Kylie's success to almost zero. But for some reason, Kylie does not leave the label, clearly realizing that her work is being ruined.

And this tendency can be traced in almost all aspects of her work. She bet on a major label in the hope of good promotion of the material and on a photographer friend in the hope of an outstanding visual image to accompany her music. And both components of the plan pull the singer to the bottom. But she once sang in the song “This girl” that she did not intend to give up.

Kylie came to us from the TV series Neighbors. The key to a successful series is to please the audience. Any actress will be removed from the screen if she does not increase the rating, if the viewer switches the channel because of her. And Kylie was taught to like people. Her image of Charlene, a funny and mischievous girl, tightly clung to Kylie herself. Isn't it Charlene who flirts with us during concerts? Kylie knows how to please, this is her main talent. Everyone likes her, her charm goes before her, her audience consists of tiny girls, teenage girls, young people and mature people, she is loved and idolized by gays and even pensioners. She is sweet, everyone likes her.

“Please fly with our airlines!” - Kylie sings in the song Light years, and in the concert version this phrase sounds so touching and it seems as if the singer is about to cry, she wants to hold on to her audience. The phrase fades away, and this lump in the throat quickly turns into a smile, because there is no need to show sadness and fear of losing those who have managed to like it.

Kylie is an actress. She changes characters so easily because it amuses her. She is bored of being the same, she is interested in trying on new masks. A new mask means potentially new faces in the audience. And undoubtedly, each new role is played with all the sincerity of which Kylie is capable. She believes in her masks. And that’s why we believe her too.

When she sings I should be so lucky, don't we believe her? This is a great song for a young girl falling in love for the first time in her life. This is not stupid pop, this is a good and honest song for an 18 year old girl. This is exactly how Kylie was at that time - naive and sweet. Everything was wonderful in its time, at the only time suitable for this. And when Nick Cave convinced her to recite lines from a song on poetry evening, this was to be the last public performance of I should be so lucky. By this time, Kylie was already ashamed of her girlish song, but in vain. And it was in vain that she did not take the opportunity to say goodbye to her in time. But the singer continues to perform her main hit of the 80s at all concerts, and now, although it sounds incendiary, it does not suit the performer at all. Now she has really grown out of this song. But she does this for fear of disappointing her fans.

So as long as Kylie Minogue allows her label to run her affairs, a friend to dictate her visual image, as long as she continues to over-please her fans, we will never see real personality this amazing woman. What is she (her work) like when she doesn’t want to please anyone? When does she write songs from the heart? When she promises an album with mature music and then still releases an album about sex on the dance floor?

We see fragments of this on the B-sides, she performs these songs on the anti-tour. But Kylie keeps her true self under constant control, not allowing it to escape. And, unfortunately, life once gave her a harsh warning, sending her the disease of people who completely forget about themselves. Kylie coped with cancer. But instead of starting to live her life, she finally strengthened her control even more and, in pursuit of lost positions, lost self-confidence.

Now this is a mature woman in lace panties and black fishnet, which she promised not to wear after 40. She is trying to look 25, because only such girls attract attention. She takes part in candid photo shoots to prove how beautiful she is, that she divine beauty has not disappeared anywhere, that it is still a product worth investing in. The industry does not allow her to be herself, and the singer does not dare to insist on this right.

And it is in such a whirlwind that she suddenly publishes the song Flower, dedicated to her unborn child, who may never come to her. And although she repeats in despair - “Suddenly one day you will surprise me” - it becomes clear how far her dreams are from reality this time. This is one of the most tragic and sincere pop songs. Kylie Minogue has come to terms with the fact that her flower will never bloom. Instead, she lived the life of a chameleon, got too involved in the whirlwind of show business and lost herself. She is what they want her to be. And the audience is happy. And even Kylie is deceptively happy when she absorbs the enormous energy of love that is given to her during concerts. But will she feel warm from the enthusiastic screams the night after the concert?

Popular Australian singer, composer and actress. In 2008 Kylie Minogue received the Order of the British Empire from the hands of Crown Prince Charles. Played a small role in the film " Moulin rouge!", starred in the films " Director's cut», « Exemplary people" And " Bio-house».

Childhood

As a child, Kylie was very shy. She did not participate in any school activities, only once she was seen in a school production in the role of Cinderella.

But since childhood, Minogue has been involved in choreography and music. At the age of nine she appeared for the first time on television, in the serial films “The Sullivans” and “Skyways”. Initially, the parents decided that their youngest daughter Danni could be an actress, but during the auditions they chose Kylie. Mom decided that there was no need to refuse the directors’ offers, so she signed the contract. This maternal choice allowed the eldest daughter to become an actress.

The first working days in the series, Minogue stood in front of the camera and minted the text, which her mother helped her learn. But, despite the praise of critics and directors, Kylie continued to remain a little girl with a familiar life. Parents even forbade the girl to use cosmetics, wear earrings and meet boys without permission. Mom and dad controlled their daughter’s every step.

Actor career

Further, the path of the lucky Australian lay immediately to the top of the star ladder. Kylie played brilliantly in the 1989 melodrama “Criminals,” in which she played the role of a young girl from Australia in the 50s. Critics laughed at the film, but it was a good commercial success.

In 1994, after a short break, Kylie Minogue became Jean-Claude Van Damme's colleague in the action film Street Fighter. This painting is based on computer game, popular at the time. However, the film did not bring popularity to the actress; moreover, it was even rejected by fans of the computer game. Critics gave her bad reviews, and journalists even dared to call the actress the worst in English-language cinema. The films “Bio-House”, “Director’s Cut”, “Diana and Me”, where the actress appeared, also did not attract the attention of the audience.

But in 2001, Australian director Baz Luhrmann was so impressed by the girl’s musical tour “Intimate and Live” that he offered her a role in “Moulin Rouge”. The episodic work in which Kylie performed a part from the musical “The Sound of Music” became significant. The film featured Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. After the release of the film, all of Hollywood literally went crazy, but Minogue did not even have a goal in her mind to outshine Kidman. In 2001, the actress starred in the television show Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

In 2005, the Christmas special Doctor Who gave Kylie a chance to approach superstar status. The girl played the role of Astrid Pett, and the doctor was played by Scotsman David Tennant. By the way, this is the world's longest running science fiction series. The film became a cult favorite in many countries; moreover, it influenced many television scriptwriters.

However, Kylie’s film career was not as successful as we would like. In 2005, she starred alongside Emmy Smithart and Seth Green in the melodrama “The Wedding Witness” by Stefan Schwartz. This is the story of the adventures of a young man, Ollie, who discovered his talent for writing, but lost his inspiration. In 2006, the celebrity was cast in documentary"Bombs and Blockbusters of Tinseltown."

It is worth noting that the popular artist seems small even in heels. There is a lot of controversy about her height, different sources they write different data about her growth. They all range from 150 to 158 centimeters.

Music

And if initially Kylie acted as a street girl, then in 1991 she turned into a sexy beauty. This only contributed to the popularity. Minogue was constantly in the tabloids, mainly due to her affair with INXS singer Michael Hutchence.

In 1992, the singer released her fifth album, “The Greatest Hits,” and immediately reached number one in the British charts. Two years later, she released another album, “Kylie Minogue,” as well as the single “Confide In Me.”

In 1996, the artist recorded the song “Where The Wild Roses Grow” with Nick Cave. Two years later, Kylie Minogue presented listeners with her seventh album, Impossible Princess, which went platinum. In 1999, the girl appeared at the top of the charts with the song “Spinning Around”. Next came the disco-pop album “Light Years”.

At the end of 1995, Minogue starred in another short film - “Misfits” (Inconsistencies), where, being completely naked, she portrayed singing to the soundtrack of an aria by one of the last Italian opera singers-castrati.

Kylie Minogue is the eldest of three children in the family, her sister, Dani Minogue, is also quite famous singer in Australia. But Brandon, their brother did not choose thorny Star Trek. The sisters began building their careers at the age of 11. Kylie played in children's TV series - Skyways, The Sullivans and The Henderson Kids - but did not achieve much success; at an early age, her younger sister was more popular than Kylie Minogue.

Career and discography of Kylie Minogue

After execution The songs Loco-Motion of popular American singer Little Eva at a charity event in Melbourne, Kylie signed a contract with Mushroom Records in 1986.

Released as a single and renamed Locomotion, the recording spent more than a month at the top of the Australian charts and hit parades, and became the best-selling single of the year. Kylie's album became the most popular album of the year. It sold over 7 million copies worldwide, with the highest sales in Europe and Asia, and contained six hit singles, including the most popular, I Should Be So Lucky. Only in the United States the album did not become successful, despite the fact that the single “The Loco-Motion” took third position on the Billboard Hot 100.

In early 1989, the song Especially For You, recorded by Kylie Minogue with her boyfriend, Jason Donovan, was a major hit in the UK. And in 1991, Kylie Minogue changed her image from the boy next door to a sexy beauty, which further enhanced her popularity.

Thanks to her romance with INXS singer Mike Hutchins, Kylie constantly appears on the pages of the tabloids. In 1997, Kylie Minogue released her seventh album, which went platinum. The original name Impossible Princess had to be changed due to death.

Every day Minogue's popularity and fees grew. “I was literally bombarded with offers of cooperation from leading record companies, I was shocked, but quickly got used to it and became a respectable woman, well versed in life and music,” said the star herself.

Every third girl born in England was named after her.

However life popular singer is not without danger. “On the one hand, everything in my life is fine and wonderful, but on the other, I can’t leave the house without a retinue of security guards, I can’t get into the car until it’s checked for a bomb. My work colleagues are ready to strangle me,” Minogue herself complained. And her fears were justified hundreds of times. One day she received a letter, security workers suspected something and sent it for examination; later anthrax spores were found in it. Kylie Minogue's limousine was bombed three times. Threatening letters are constantly coming by mail. The situation escalated when she was recognized as the most sexy woman in America.

However, there is no need to worry about the “safety” of the star - while she is creating, security ensures her safety. In 2003, the album Body Language was released, in 2007 - a record called X, and in 2010, fans were able to listen to the album Aphrodite, which became the 11th in her discography. In 2014, her new album entitled Kiss Me Once was released, and Kylie again delighted fans with the album Kylie Christmas.

Personal life of Kylie Minogue

Kylie was romantically involved with INXS leader Michael Hutchence. In those days, Kylie loved noisy parties and dangerous adventures. However love story ended very, very sadly: Michael, experiencing depression and a creative crisis, committed suicide, which threw Kylie out of her life for a long time.

Kylie lived with fashion model James Gooding for three years; the separation was a great trauma for her. James couldn't come to terms with the fact that his woman was always busy. Kylie and James broke up but remained friends. Kylie dated Olivier Martinez, and in 2010 she began a relationship with Andres Valencoso, with whom the singer broke up in 2013.

In 2015, her affair with fashion model and actor Joshua Sasse began.

In 2005, the singer was diagnosed with breast cancer, which she successfully fought after three years of treatment. Since then, the singer has become an active supporter of charitable campaigns to combat cancer, and in 2014 she joined the One Note Against Cancer foundation.

In addition to music, the singer is interested in cinema. In 2012, she starred in Leos Carax's film Holy Motors Corporation, and in 2015 in the disaster film San Andreas Fault in a brief cameo role.
