Canada DVD Cover InformationActor: Kylie MinogueFormat: Import, Live, NTSC DVD Release Date: 2009-02-24 Studio: Wea Int'l Movie Reviews of Kylie X 2008Movie Review: Not GoodShe's no Madonna and this show proves why. Kylie Minogue's first proper full on tour didnt happen until 4 years into her career in 1991 and then it only managed to land in the UK, Eire, France, Australia and a few dates in Japan, such is her limited popularity. X was if im honest a big step on from her usual campery and feathers bonanza but apart from updates with her set, nothing else has changed. I dont have a problem with Kylie's music, even though her last few albums have been a bit of a let down, but her shows usually tread squarely into Madonna territory and that, i have a big problem with. If you are going to do "a Madonna" then do it well! Kylie?, well she doesnt. Many of Kylie's tours have taken cues from Madonna tours of old, take her Fever Tour from 2001, it may as well been called Drowned World Tour by Kylie with snippets of Blond Ambition for good measure, Showgirl was a rehash of Madonnas infamous Girly Show tour, she even coerced D&G and Gaultier to create costumes for her latter tours to inject that MADG-ic into her productions, it didnt quite work sadly for me. The reason? there really is only one Madonna, and if shes paying homage to her idol then she really needs to stop now, shes been doing it for nearly 20 years, Kylie we get the message, you love Madonna!. With regards to this show however i felt it lacked something that Madonna has within her tours by the bucket load, drama!! Kylie almost looks wooden on stage, like she never really feels comfortable with all that space, she never truly owns the stage or crowd like Madonna does, she may be sweet and speak a little more to the crowd but i feel they respect her less, Madonna has the audience eating out of her hand, you want to go back for more, with Kylie i wanted to leave half way through for a beer!. Its the way its always been. During X i also found recurrent themes that you would NEVER find in a Madonna tour, those stupid cyborg dancers shes been peddling for years and that awful cheerleader look since her On A Night Like This tour, Why? I also found the stage and sets bland and a bit uninspired, the screens swallowed her and the show whole, its was more a case of style over substance in my opinion. When Madonna used 4 gigantic screens for Re-Invention tour in the spring of 2004, they were the largest ever used in a tour at the time, they moved and rotated with the stage which gave for a really interesting show, very classy. On X that screen was just a huge flat TV with a tiny human on a stage in front, it took over and she got lost, she doesnt dance either, at all! Madonna has always danced and exceptionally well, Kylie is well known for her inability to move, on the whole i found the show a let down, she also tried to do a Madonna by playing most of the songs from X with a few oldies, Madonna's Confessions and Candy albums were far more entertaining than either Body Language or X, they contained solid, sure-fire hits and great, versatile material, Madonna remixes her old tunes and mash's them together with other top dance tunes, im sure Kylie will be doing this very soon as shes currently pilfered Madonna's right hand man of the last decade, Mr Stuart Price to produce some songs on her new album! Look out for the next old Madonna tour courtesy of Kylie!
