"We all get hurt by love,
and we all have our cross to bear,
but in the name of understanding now,
our problems should be shared." - Confide In Me, Kylie Minogue
Thank you so much for this piece of news Marky, I just had to post in on my blog :)
Kylie Arrives In Ukraine For 'X Factor'
Kylie Minogue has arrived in the Ukraine for an 'X Factor' performance tomorrow night. According to rumors, Kylie will sing four songs: All The Lovers, Can't Get You Out Of My Head, In Your Eyes and I Should Be So Lucky. Check out the commercial is being shown on Ukrainian television...
Kylie was greeted at the airport with hydrangeas (by the same journalist who presented hydrangeas to Madonna) and goat milk...
The Nicest, Sweetest & Classiest Pop Star in the World!
Westlife are about to call it quits and I have to say it is about bloody time. Don't get me wrong, they have probably made music that made other people happy, but not me.
I may have liked one or two songs with them for maybe 5 minutes, but after they made that horrendous version of When You Tell Me That You Love Me with Diana Ross I have, to put it politely, really disliked them. For Diana Ross to have even considered duetting with them on her song is beyond me. She even has to sing some of the notes in a lower key to accommodate their "vocals". This was not the only song they have degraded, but I am glad they are about to call it quits.
Here is some info about their split as posted on AuspOp. I am sure however that their forthcoming Best Of will sell by truckloads. But you can be sure it will not be found in my home this christmas!!!
SHOCK AS BOYBAND SPLITS
They've had an extraordinary career, with a staggering 14 number one UK singles, 26 top ten UK hits and eleven top five albums across 14 long years of being one of Britain's (and the world's) best loved boybands.
But after more than 44 million album sales around the world, Irish boyband Westlife have decided to call it a day.
They released a statement that in part said, "The decision is entirely amicable and after spending all of our adult life together so far, we want to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures. We see the greatest hits collection and the farewell tour as the perfect way to celebrate our incredible career along with our fans. We are really looking forward to getting out on the tour and seeing our fans one last time.
"Over the years Westlife has become so much more to us than just a band. Westlife are a family. We would like to thank our fans who have been with us on this amazing journey and are part of our family too.
"We never imagined when we started out in 1998 that 14 years later we would still be recording, touring and having hits together. It has been a dream come true for all of us."
The band's final single 'Lighthouse' will be released to media in Australia on Monday November 07. Penned by Gary Barlow and John Shanks, the track is lifted from Westlife's forthcoming Greatest Hits package (pictured below).
The new best-of will get an Australian release in both standard and deluxe editions, the latter containing two discs and a DVD.
Both will be released in Australia on Friday November 25.
Kylie still keeps setting records after being almost 25 years in the record business, as is evident in the following statement (thanks Marky)
Kylie is in the 2012 edition of the Guinness Book , the world record book. The singer was recognized as the only female artist to have their albums topping the charts in the UK in four consecutive decades with the albums Kylie (1988), Enjoy Yourself (1989), Greatest Hits (1992), Fever (2001) and Aphrodite (2010).
Sorry for the lack of blogs these past few weeks, but I have been really busy and as often time just flies away, hehe
Anyways, I have seen the new 2012 Kylie Calendar pics (and been meaning to post them here) and I think they are both stunning and funny. Some are good while others some weird yet playful. I especially like April (my birthday month, hehe) and I love the retro 80's hairdo she is sporting in some of the pics. So I like them, as I usually do from the fab Ms. Minogue.
Here are the pics, judge for your self.
Kisses, teddixxx
By the way, I can't wait for the Les Follies tour DVD to be released with Kylie in November, I have been dying to see this show for many months now.
