Just remembered that this was a thing that happened, the gays must be stopped etc:
Isn't that one of those gay for pay Str8 Boy sites?

OMG me tooKiss Me Once contains one of the most maligned Kylie songs of all time but one that I personally adore so there is that.
What's the mildly amusing lyric in Les Sex?
Oh I don't find it even slightly amusing.Les hand on les leg.
I did say mildly.
The K25 anniversary project also gave us the one-off single Timebomb, which I don't imagine will be a favourite of yours but here it is for completeness anyway:
TELL ME NOW!
I assumed you were alluding to "take two of these and meet me in the shadows". Is there a joke in the former I'm missing? I just assumed she'd had french lessons from CHERYL.Les hand on les leg.
I did say mildly.
You misspelled OF ALL TIMEHOW can someone not LOVE THIS?!
Truly THE hit of SUMMER 2012!
It's one of those lines I always think I need to Google to work out what it actually is as I never thought LES LEG could be right. But I seem to have forgotten every time over the last 8 yearsOh I just remember people quoting that les leg line a lot when the album came out. I certainly don't think it's some BRILLIANT JOKE.
I mean he might! I think it might be a little bit too pop/dance music OF THAT ERA though
I'm not sure if you know about it @funky, but in 2012 Kylie celebrated 25 years in the industry with various events including the Anti-Tour (you'll have heard about THAT in this thread ) as well as the Abbey Road Sessions album, where she rerecorded a selection of her hits with a live band or orchestra (depending on the song). Here's a sample:
AndBetter Than Today was disGUSTING
I wouldn't know but sounds like you..... do?Isn't that one of those gay for pay Str8 Boy sites?
As disastrous of a single choice as it was, I Was Gonna Cancel has aged shockingly well for me though. It's just so fun!
The mental image of Jasmine Masters from Drag Race doing half-hearted calisthenics to it while wearing a ridiculous drawn-on beard has become completely inextricable from the song in my head.
I wouldn't even say it's a guilty pleasure for me. I actually prefer it to Golden, Aphrodite and, well, probably even Disco.Given all the hate it gets, Kiss Me Once as a whole is definitely my guilty pleasure in terms of Kylie albums.
Just so you know @funky, Sia was responsible for overseeing the record and since you're a fan of Haim you might like If Only which is an Ariel Rechtshaid track and is absolutely one of my favourites on it.
I've always struggled with Kylie irrespective of whether she's playing it safe or trying to cover a lot of bases in one album release.
I almost totally agree. I have to give her 'Fever'. I can listen to that end-to-end without skipping and have even been known to press the repeat button when it's finished.She really is a singles artist. So many great tracks over the years but she doesn’t seem to have one Ray Of Light or Like A Prayer, or even an Erotica - something that has a distinct mood that you can listen to from start to finish without any bumps or diversions.
Speaking of B-sides, 'Good Like That' is also in my all-time Kylie top ten.her career is littered with absolute gems that were left as album tracks or B-sides
I mean, that just means she is a single act that's made some bad choices, right?but her career is littered with absolute gems that were left as album tracks or B-sides.
Love you VoR but your second sentence is basically just agreeing with what I saidSingles act is harsh. I don’t think she’s ever delivered an all-time classic album either, but her career is littered with absolute gems that were left as album tracks or B-sides.
I much prefer Nerina's version of Better Than Today. The song just landed like a lead balloon as a single. And then we had this frankly cringeworthy performance of it:
Come on now Funky. A Madonna comparison? In 2022? Really?!This is my big takeaway from the whole project. She really is a singles artist. So many great tracks over the years but she doesn’t seem to have one Ray Of Light or Like A Prayer, or even an Erotica - something that has a distinct mood that you can listen to from start to finish without any bumps or diversions.
