| SYDNEY OLYMPICS 2000 During the summer of 2000 Kylie was asked to headline the para-lympics and the Olympics opening and closing ceremony's. It was alongside artists like Savage Garden, Vanessa Amorossi, Olivia Newton-John, John Farnham, Tina Arena...It was a special occasion and Kylie was live to over 1 billion world-wide. She performed Spinning Around, Celebration, On A Night Like This, Dancing Queen and all off the back of an entrance on a huge flip flop. The Olympics was hailed as the most successful ever. The stadium housed over 180,000 making it Kylie's largest live audience ever and also the first chance for her to give something back to the people of Australia. It's often overlookd that Kylie left Australia to live in England when she was 19 and only manages to go home once or twice a year. As any Australian will know there's nothing like home. |

| LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA Adam Garcia(Coyote Ugly,Saturday Night Fever) was a special guest in this Saturday night extravanganza.Kylie had been given her own hour long show to entertain and present songs from the new album "Fever". "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" was dominating every chart in the world, and spending it's 12th week on top of the Worldpop global chart, it was more of a celebration. Very few artists get given there own primetime show and the press were reporting that Madonn'a had said her kids were in love with the new song. It seems in 2001 no-one could get Kylie out of their heads. A performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards left crowds in Berlin breathless and subsequent awards were won at the Top Of The Pop awards in Manchester and 4 nominations for 2002 Brit Awards. The song has topped charts all over the world and "Fever" has already sold in excess of 3 million copies worldwide after just 3 months of sales. The Kylie star has never shone so brightly. On a more personal level Kylie has suffered from emotional exhaustion this year due to the punishing workloads and promotional schedules and her dad was also diagnosed with Cancer, which it seems he has beaten as I write this. So as 2001 comes to a close and the news that "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is No.1 on the USA dance charts with a full American release of "Fever " due in February, it's is time that the world took note of the first lady of pop music in the 21st century...step forward Miss Kylie Minogue...May your reign continue.... |

| BECAUSE SHE CAN! CAN! CAN! So as Kylie moved into 2001 with a successful tour and an album due for release in September there was just enough time to film her part in the third feature film by Australia's Baz Luhrman. His follow up to the smash hit Romeo+Juliet was the bohemian love story encased within the Moulin Rouge. Starring Nicole Kidman and Ewan Mcgregor, Kylie was cast as the green fairy. At first Luhrmann had used an animation but once it was deemed not good enough he thought that only Kylie could be the fairy. They organised time off and she rushed to Australia to film her section, including the operatic version of "The Sound Of Music". The absinthe fairy is actually a real logo and there is a history behind the fairy which delves deeper into the Moulin Rouge. The film has already received Golden Globesland Nicole Kidman an oscar nomination. A successful return to the big screen for Kylie...Maybe there a future Baz script that will fall Kylie's way...we can but hope. |
