OT: the british can be weird

 Apparently, in the past 2 weeks, someone named "kylie minogue" has played 12
sold-out
shows, 7 in london, 5 in manchester, to 15,000 people per show paying an
average of $55 a ticket. That's $12 million in ticket sales.

There must be some rational explanation for this, but ..............what?­

yanks tune out of anything that isn't crap hip-pop a la fiddy cent or> kanye west?>
kylie is cool

I once heard of her eons ago, perhaps late 1980s? She had a US hit with a
remake of a classic song called "the loco-motion". It was a terrible
teeny-pop dance version.

Haven't heard of her since until i got this concert attendance report from
Billboard...

Um, she had a pretty big hit in the U.S. just a couple of years ago> with "Can't Get You Out of My Head"

You're right! You jogged my memory - i did see a video or something for that
one a couple years ago. I recall thinking "wow, kylie minogue? is this the
same madonna-ish wannabe who had that one fluke hit 15 yrs ago?"....

You're a little confused Stephen. She seems a "madonna-ish wannabe" to you
because you haven't seen her in 15 years because you live in America. For
those of us in Australia/UK she's bigger than Madonna. She's had about 30
'fluke hits' over almost 20 years. Can't say I'm a fan, but go look up her
biography. I liked her grunge period better than the rest of it, but that
seemed to coincide with her disappearing off the charts.

I'm not a big fan either, apart from that Barbarelle style video she did
many years ago, but she is absolutely massive in Europe/Australia/UK­, and I
believe she was recently promoted to godly status in Japan..
