* [[One -Letter Title|X]] (2007)
* Aphrodite (2010)

Line 67:
* [[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 begining of her career. It wasn't until she started dating INXS frontman Michael Hutchence and released her third album ''Rhythm Of Love'' that she became more sexually aware and mature.
* [[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.)
* [[Intercourse With You]]: Her later albums has a lot of this.
Line 75:
* [[Male Gaze]]: Most infamously, the tiny gold shorts from the "Spinning Around" video. [[Justin Timberlake]] even took the opportunity to see for himself.
* [[Moe Anthropomorphism]]: "German Bold Italic" - Kylie as a... [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|font?]]
* [[NamesName's the Same]]: Two songs of the title Love At First Sight, one on her Fever album which was a single and one called Love At First Sight on her debut album.
** 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 expirimenting with her style and sound). [[Darker and Edgier|''Impossible Princess'']] (Minogue's first release on an indie label) was [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|a combo of trip-hop, alt-rock, drum&bass, and eastern sounds]]. ''Light Years'' (which is widely considered her pop comeback) was a disco album. ''Fever'' (one of her largest selling albums) was more of a house and synthpop album. Her 9th album ''Body Language'' was an R&B/funk/lounge album. Her latest albums ''X'' and ''Aphrodite'' have been modern edgy electropop albums. Either aimed a variety/complexity (X) or cohesion/vision (Aprodite).
* [[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''.
* [[Obsession Song]]: “I Should Be So Lucky”, “My Secret Heart”, “What Do I Have To Do”, “I Am The One For You”, “Right Here, Right Now”, “No World Without You”, “Automatic Love”, “Say Hey”, “Drunk”, “Love Takes Over Me”, “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head”, “In Your Eyes”, “Your Love (Even has the line ‘you’re my obsession’ right in it!)”, “Tightrope”
* [[Old Shame]]: [[Bio-Dome]]. Kylie claims [[Bio Dome]] is the only thing she's done that her father ridicules her for.
Line 90:
* [[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").
* [[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.
* [[SopranoandSoprano and Gravel]] - Her duet with Nick Cave.
* [[She's Got Legs]] - ''Fantastic'' legs. Proven by [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1575818/Why-Kylie-Minogue-could-have-the-perfect-legs.html SCIENCE], no less!
** 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.
Line 101:
** 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.
