In between her many hits and her many music videos where she doesn't wear very much, she has continued to appear in acting roles every so often. ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' is one example (''[[Street Fighter (Film)|Street Fighter]]'' is another, but [[Old Shame|let's gloss over that]], and don't even ''start'' with ''[[Bio-Dome]]''), but her most recent was in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' 2007 [[Christmas Special]] "[[Doctor Who (TV)/2007 CS Voyage of the Damned/Recap|Voyage of the Damned]]".

In the UK she was one of the leading lights of the late-80s [[Stock Aitken Waterman]] (SAW) hit factory, along with Jason Donovan and [[Rick Astley]]. SAW were responsible for producing early number one singles such as "I Should be So Lucky" and "The Locomotion", with minimal input from Kylie herself. "Lucky" in particular was both popular and hugely reviled by the music press on account of its epic cheerfulness, and Minogue was a byword for naff for many years afterwards.

* [[Darker and Edgier]] - Her sixth album ''Impossible Princess'' was considered alot darker than previous albums. It was even noted for its more agressive vocal style. However, the album did poorly in sales, and it would take a few years for Kylie to fully return to prominence. ''Impossible Princess'' is now regarded as a favorite within the fanbase.

* [[Rick Roll]]: A meta version - [[Stock Aitken And Waterman]] rushed through the production of "I Should Be So Lucky" because [[Rick Astley]] was scheduled to do recording after her (it's not certain, but given the production dates, it may well have been for "Never Gonna Give You Up").

** In an interesting twist on this trope, she's ''short'' (nice legs are often long legs, and long legs tend to happen on tall people.) Such is the power of the Kylie.
