Kylie Minogue/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
/wiki/Kylie Minoguecreator
  • Americans Hate Tingle: In North America for most of the 90's, Kylie was considered a washed-up late 80's Madonna wannabe instead of one of the biggest stars on the planet. Then "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became a gigantic smash hit in the US. Even then, Kylie's American pop hits are so few and far between that her American chart positions are absent from her Wikipedia discography page.
    • Although, much like ABBA's rather slightly underwhelming success in America during their peak being attributed to Fleetwood Mac simply having a stranglehold on melodic pop during the 70's, Kylie had a similar struggle trying to overcome Madonna's monopoly on pop music in the 90's (remember, this was Madonna during her "Ray of Light" heyday.) By the time Kylie's resurrection came around, it was less that American audiences disliked her, it was more that they'd never heard of her.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Looking for an Angel in the Aphrodite tour which Kylie did riding of the back of an acrobat in angel wings, suspended above the audience.
  • Covered Up: "Locomotion", especially in Australia.
  • Ear Worm - "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", indeed.
  • Fan Dumb: Unpleasable Fanbase, X was too much variety, Aphrodite was too similar sounding. She should do a intimate album, she should also stick to what she's good at, she needs to experiment, she shouldn't do it really.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff - Kylie's American fanbase consists almost exclusively of gay men.
    • In parts of her native Australia, "Kylie Fan" is a euphemism for "Gay guy".
    • Is bigger and more successful in the UK, they got both her showgirl tours and the dvd version of her White Diamond movie special. She also lives there most of the time, similar to Gabriella Cilmi like that.
  • Narm Charm: All The Lovers is this.
  • Tear Jerker - I Believe In You is a tearjerker in the way that it is so beautiful that it makes one want to cry.
    • There are also her songs No More Rain, Cosmic, and Flower most of which were written after Kylie's cancer was in remission. They all share the theme of hope.
  • Theiss Titillation Theory
  • What the Hell, Casting Agency? - Cammy in the live-action Street Fighter movie.
  • Vindicated by History: hardcore with her Impossible Princess album, was formerly rejected and a down moment in her popularity, currently a fan favourite and has a growing need for her to do that sort of thing again.
