In the league of pop singers, a certain Australian comes second only to [[Madonna]]. That woman is now old enough to be some of our tropers' mothers (well, so is Madonna, but let's not get into that).
Line 14:
The British press and public quickly decided they ''did'' like her after all, and she subsequently became something of a national treasure and style icon. Also, her 2003 lingerie calendar was a best-seller in the UK. Her sister, Dannii Minogue, has had a very similar career, although never reaching the same peaks.

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Her infamous white
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The setlist(s) of her 2012 Anti-Tour were dedicated solely to littler-known Kylie tracks that only her diehard fans would know, like b-sides, singles that have been largely forgotten, and unreleased tracks.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Although Kylie ''is'' debatable. Some sources cite it as Old English ''caegan-leah'' "pasture where wood chips were obtained", but then again she ''is'' Australian.
Line 54 ⟶ 55:
* [[Career Resurrection]]: "Light Years" was this for her Australian popularity, Fever was this for America. "X" was this after her cancer ordeal and came out 5 years after "Body Language"
* [[Christmas Cake]]
* [[Creator Breakdown]]: No More Rain, Flower and Cosmic deal with her cancer ordeal on her X album...but Impossible Princess is an extremely personal album and dealt with her pressures of celebrity and icon status.▼
* [[Cloning Blues]] - The video for 'Come Into My World' features Kylie rounding the same course in [[The Oner|one continuous shot]]. As she does this copies of herself and the other people in the background.
** There is also the older video for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRwQlxCmenk ''Did It Again''] which has [[There Can
* [[Corrupt the Cutie]]: Michael Hutchence's relationship with Minogue was pretty much this: he stated that his favorite hobby was corrupting her as she was still seen as very innocent and cute at the time. In a positive twist, this didn't hurt their images at all and they remained very close friends after their breakup and up to his tragic death.
* [[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.▼

* [[Dream Team]]: Robbie Williams, Bono, Nick Cave, Jason Donovan, and [[Coldplay]]...and that thing she did with the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' team.
* [[Everythings Funkier With Disco]] - First there was 'Step Back In Time' and then pretty much all of ''Light Years''.
Line 67 ⟶ 69:
** But went by [[But Not Too Foreign|The Aphrodite Tour]] in America.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Actually quite a well-schooled piano player when she was younger, and she composed "No More Rain" and the greater ''Impossible Princess'' album on the piano.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]] - Believe it or not kids, Kylie was very innocent in the
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Kylie is comically shorter than her beau, Andres Velencosco ([http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/Kylie+Andres+Spanish+Christmas+zjGU03wI0S2l.jpg A visual aid]).
** Not just him, but anyone she stands next to (she is only 5'2", after all.)
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
** She also has two songs called "Closer"; one appears as the [[B-Side]] of her 1991 single "Finer Feelings", and the other is on 2011's ''Aphrodite''.
* [[Never Speak Ill of the Dead|Never Speak Ill Of A Breast Cancer Survivor]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. There is still extremely heavy criticism of Kylie.
* [[New Sound Album]]: The first two albums (''Kylie'' and ''Enjoy Yourself'') were simple freestyle/dance-pop albums. The next two [[Hotter and Sexier|''Rhythm of Love'' and ''Let's Get To It'']]) still had the freestyle sound but also had more of a new jack swing sound. The next one ([[Self-Titled Album|''Kylie Minogue'']]) was a fusion of R&B, jazz ,and house (it also marked her first foray into
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: The albums "Impossible Princess", "Kylie Minogue" and "Body Language" have extremely mixed elements of different types of sounds. Her hit single "Confide In Me" is particularly conflicted with Baroque, Classical, R N B and Pop elements all used.
* [[Non-Appearing Title]]: ''Kylie'' and ''Kylie Minogue'' but also ''X''.
Line 87 ⟶ 89:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Do ''you'' believe she's 46 (in 2014)?
* [[One Mario Limit]]: Averted by two of her self-titled albums, 1988's ''Kylie'' and 1995's ''Kylie Minogue''.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: As the green fairy in ''[[Moulin Rouge]]''.▼
* [[Rearrange the Song]]: She has done this alot. She has remade various songs into ballads, jazz, and electronica.▼
* [[The Oner]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQCirTog0cs Come Into My World]". It's possibly the only video of her that lacks [[Fan Service]], but is still damn cool.▼
▲* [[Rearrange the Song]]: She has done this
** Is working on a collection of her greatest hits redone in an orchestral format with a couple of new songs for her up coming album.
* [[Rickroll]]: A meta version -
* [[Sesame Street Cred]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WgnLfjUguU She's an honorary] [[The Wiggles|Wiggle]].
* [[Self-Titled Album]]: First and Fifth were self titled and sixth was self titled in the UK and Europe.
Line 101 ⟶ 105:
* [[Take That]]: ''What Kind Of Fool'' is rumoured to be about her SAW days. Rumoured
** Illusion and Obsession both mention the fact she's a celebrity and her worry that a man would want her for her fame instead of herself.
▲* [[The Oner]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQCirTog0cs Come Into My World]". It's possibly the only video of her that lacks [[Fan Service]], but is still damn cool.
▲* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: As the green fairy in ''[[Moulin Rouge]]''.
* [[Three Minutes of Writhing]]
* [[Your Cheating Heart]]: “It’s No Secret” and “Word Is Out”. “Secrets” also counts too, but it’s in the POV of the cheater.
