Well the first time I really remember a Kylie song was many years ago and that song was the Loco Motion. It was on a disco CD which we had in the house.

Sufficed to say I didn't know quite who Kylie Minogue was at the time. Apart from the band Erasure whom I have loved since 1997 to this present day my other love was 'pure power pop' and so I was into bands like Steps, Scooch and S Club 7.

However by June of 2000 I was fully aware of Kylie due to the success of Light Years. I LOVED Spinning Around in particular. However when Can't Get You Out Of My Head was released I started to dislike her music ... the exception being Love At First Sight.

However by mid 2004 I had got my hands on her classic PWL material and had fallen in love with the whole lot. My favourite tracks were Hand On Your Heart and What Kind Of Fool.

In November 2005, whilst watching TV one Saturday evening I caught a glimpse of Kylie performing the classic 'Spinning Around' on Ant & Dec and I was hooked. Kylie looked stunning in a gold dress and that was the moment when I realised how stunning she looked on stage - but since LAFS, there was not a Kylie song that I had fully enjoyed.

That changed when I heard 'I Believe In You'. Never had a pop song sounded so perfect and so well done. Sufficed to say that was enough to get me to purchase Ultimate Kylie and I began to enjoy her other Parlophone work such as Red Blooded Woman and, at last, Can't Get You Out Of My Head.

Soon I had located Kylie MPEG videos and my firm favourite became a performance by Kylie in March of 2002 at the World Music Awards in Monaco. I was instantly gripped by her electric performance with that red corset dress.
