Kylie Minogue- Stock Aitken Waterman | Legends of Pop!

[@GrantJohnson-c9p]

I first knew of Kylie in 1985 when she acted in the TV show called The Henderson Kids (pre Neighbours). Music wise I bought the 12" vinyl single of Locomotion in 1987 the week it came out. I still own it to this day. So I've been a fan for a very long time now

[@newtonduck1]

I was 17 or 18 when I Should Be So Lucky was released in the US. I’ve been a fan ever since. Fortunately, I moved to Los Angeles for college and found import music stores and have been a constant Kylie fan. Jason, too. You’re right that the US has slept on Kylie, for the most part. She had two big moments in 88 and 01/02. This Kylie piece was a part of a larger documentary about her early producers Stock/Aiken/Waterman. Worth a watch!

fan from the beginning. the famous wedding on neighbours

[@markb5282]

I was a fan from neighbours and remember my dad trying to buy her first album for me and it was sold out everywhere. Then he came back to the car with the cassette. I was 11 and it was the best thing ever. Loved her ever since

[@martinharrison8847]

I’ve been a fan since she was in neighbours so around 1987, so around 37 years I’ve been a kylie fan. She’s stood the test of time and many other female music artists have followed in her footsteps, this is a true compliment to any artist.

Lol “It’s too late now, Simon!” 😂

[@kyliemioak]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@richardchiddle4049]

You say it right don’t worry 😂❤

[@kyliemioak]

For me.. I heard Kylie song first time at Better The Devil You Know.. But I was a kid. Then 2000's I heard Please Stay from Light Years.. Then Spining Around. Then I saw her from Moulin Rouge! At that time.. Can't Get You Out Of My Head Hit!!! Around the world Inclouding me already!!!! I'm a supper fan for her from Bangkok , Thailand!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mark-s]

Wow i didn't know the origin of i should be so lucky but knew it was written quickly for kylie's debut single so glad you watched this ps i was leaving school when she appeared and loved her from start btw the French song reminds me of Christmas 1988 when it was released

[@tonybadder6176]

I loved her in Neighbours I was 5 and then when her first album came out I bought that and still think she is amazing to this day and have all her albums and singles etc ❤️

[@TonyG-gk7qr]

I’ve been a lifelong Kylie fan. From the first single I was hooked. I have every album lol

[@ta81uk]

I was 7 years old when Lucky came out and instantly loved her. We all grew up with Neighbours in the UK, everyone watched it so she was already a household name. Watching her career blossom has been a true joy of my life and I’m so grateful she is the soundtrack to our lives 😊

[@SumareProductions]

Was 14, watched Neighbours religiously (as did millions of UK people - every tea time after school) then saw Kylie’s video for Lucky on a pop show and was hooked to this day lol - incredible! Great reaction watch by the way! 😊

[@richardchiddle4049]

I was a fan from neighbours and then heard Charlene (her character) was releasing a song. It was so exciting and that was it I’ve hooked ever since ❤

[@kristiansven7022]

I remember my parents bought me the Kylie album Christmas 1988, I’ve been obsessed ever since

[@LesleyHardman]

We’re a fan from the Sullivan from Sullivan 79 to the present day all songs etc

[@brandonkylie3456]

I have a friend from London and he tells me all the time. I don't understand because I'm so young and from America but she was MASSIVE, you couldn't escape her. He's not huge fan but he tells me all the time how proud of her he is because no one thought back then she would become one of the biggest pop star on the planet to be considered in the same league as Madonna. He said the show was huge and you ran home after school to watch it and she was one of the best things about neighbors. He said her music had become so big at one point in the UK that she was selling more albums than madonna. On the radio, they were always neck and neck. Kylie was major trouble for Madonna, her biggest rival.

[@bobwise1977]

I loved Kylie in neighbours so I was a fan from day one with her music. As I grew out of pop into dance music, Kylie had evolved at the same pace. When I fell in love with britpop and guitar bands, there she was again working with Nick Cave, the manic street preachers and channeling 'indie-kylie'. She just released exactly the right music at the right time, and by the time she returned to pop, I knew it was a lifetime thing. Her limited success in America is more down to circumstance than anything else. She had a few chart hits from her debut album, and the album itself went gold in America. Her second album there was released without really any fanfare or promotion (she was with PWl label across Europe, Mushroom in Australia and Geffen in the US) and other than a couple of singles she wouldn't have another album released in America until fever - which peaked at number 3 there as well as CGYOOMH hitting the top 10. So the music wasn't really there for the American public to buy. Add to that the fact she has generally always been huge in the UK, and big in Australia and Europe she had a lot of work to do in a lot of countries.. Aside from the fever album, and then last year with tension... She has never really been able to afford to spend the time and effort in the USA that she needed to do. Even the couple of previous tours there have been really scaled down. The tension tour is the first time she has done a tour inline with the rest of the world in regard to scale and venue size. From a UK fan perspective, it's awesome watching people now discover her talent and her legacy, which is nothing less than she deserves 💙

[@neondisco8635]

I have bought everything kylie has released since 1987 and likewise with Dannii since 1991. I'll always remember my mum screaming out the window when I was 7 years old"kylies on Top Of The Pops" and until she passed would always shout if kylie or Dannii where on the telly or would record any performance if I was working 😂.

[@davidlynton9930]

Thankfully I have been a fan since 1988 when I was 8 years old and I remember it all. Everyone loved her. Then it changed when I was about 11 / 12 and her career started to go a bit downfall and it’s was uncool to like her then it all changed again in 2000 when everyone loved her again and it’s been like that for the last 24 years, so much love for Kylie in the UK.

[@DistantCousin]

You are perfectly correct. He's being weird! But in the beginning, a lot of people didn't know how to pronounce her surname

[@danieledmonds3436]

In answer to your question, I was 13 in a pub with my Mum and her netball team after the game. Kylie came on the screen and my Mum’s best friend saw me staring and whispered to me, “no one will know who she is in 2 years time.” 😂

[@DistantCousin]

What Pete means is that she became to big for Stock Aitken Waterman/The Hit Factory. Her mammoth success ultimately destabilised their company. And led to them breaking apart

[@DistantCousin]

Yes, they had done plenty of lip synced performances of Especially For You when released (as was the standard for TV performances then). And had both performed live on tour with their backing singers etc, but never live together until 2012

[@uninvited35]

They were a couple in life, not just in the series.

[@richardchiddle4049]

You need to react to all her 80s stuff

[@p.r.4748]

Your pronunciation is perfect with the G. … ignore Simon.

[@ta81uk]

It’s so great you’re learning so much about Kylie. You are saying her name correctly, Simon is an idiot.

[@daveborder7751]

Always found it strange that her & Jason Donovan were supposed to be the ones that would go on to be huge Hollywood stars as they were huge in Neighbours-he did nothing there & she flopped with Street Fighter, meanwhile their Neighbours co-stars Guy Pearce & Alan Dale went on to become massive stars there.

[@RealityVonTrapp]

No Valencia you are saying Minogue correctly. Simon simply cannot move his mouth correctly. Kylie has always had this incredible magnetisms. It just seemed natural that her music career would take off at the time. It was no surprise to me anyway.

[@ColinsCity]

What the hell is simon cowell saying? everyone in the uk knows to say minogue with the g, he even had her sister Dannii Minogue on the UK X factor lol you were saying it right

[@MarthaMansbridge]

America eluded her back then - her sound just wasn’t right for that time. She did however conquer the rest of the world. Considering her global success and sales without any American reliance, she’s one of the biggest female artists in the world by any standard. She had a few attempts at America and I think each one tried to change her sound and it just doesn’t work. I think it would’ve ruined her for the rest of us. The best examples of this are much of Body Language, All I See from X and much of Kiss Me Once. Look at when Kylie flies high in Europe and Australia - it’s when she doing pop - her own unmistakable brand of Pop. Long may she reign. The first time I heard Kylie the pop star - I was 10 years old and was performing Lucky on some Saturday morning kids show in the UK and all I could think was “that’s Charlene!!!” Besotted ever since.

[@333mystic]

VOGUE MINOGUE ... SImon 😬

[@VanDammeFan1]

It's MINOGUE with a G. Simon is wrong. It's his accent.

[@michaelcruze-r7p]
