KYLIE MINOGUE - X ALBUM REACTION

[@survivorbest4589]

The X tour is absolutely a masterclass of a show. U need to see it for a reaction or then for urself. It is SO SO SO GOOD one of the best tours made by a popgirl ever and her next tour for Aphrodite isnt anything less

[@aynosekeponer]

Please💚

[@robertbrassington121]

The One was the BEST track on X AND that SOUND you were talking about was meant to sound galactic and futuristic kinda like a making a contact signal from a radio in space that was the vibe she was going for.

[@bennshouts]

its so bad LOL

[@soaribb32]

I actually love it

[@feykabah]

I love it too! For me it sounds retro. I picture radio signals during one of the past words.

[@mikeyjohn9903]

The one is a brillant cant believe you dont like it

[@evermorestan7943]

love kylie soo much!! but X and impossible princess are definitely my favs and probably her most experimental work and best work in my opinion

[@popunderrated]

No More Rain was a song she wrote during her cancer treatment about getting back on stage in front of an audience

[@bennshouts]

So sad

[@radosawrusnak7700]

Like a drug is the most underrated Kylie’s song ever. An absolute banger!

[@LeonineRandy]

Impossible Princess is a 💯 must listen! Her 'indie' phase. It's her most personal and experimental album. The lyrics, the songs, the production (!) all top-tier. Fever is also essential - a *classic* dance-pop album. The songs, the production, the vocals, the videos, the overall aesthetic - absolute slayage.

[@bennshouts]

Yesss, I'm keen to hear more of her work x

[@isthatjackson]

The One truly just makes my soul fly! It’s my personal fave 😂✨

[@odonvargas9527]

Mine too, I was sad that he didn't care for it,

[@brash_and_sassy]

He never cares for the more mellow, heartfelt songs.

[@bennshouts]

hey! haha I do love mellow heartfelt songs, I think??? hahaha

[@mr.mealldaylong8013]

Especially the FREEMASONS VOCAL CLUB VERSION 9:15 of a MASTERCLASS in TECHO CLUB ♥

[@mr.mealldaylong8013]

SPEAKERPHONE should have been a single yo...🔥😊

[@survivorbest4589]

The album alongside Blackout that revitalized the mainstream music with electronic sounds (way before lady gaga was even a thing) . Only a month between release dates between these 2 oh how ahead of their time they are, everyone followed these 2 ladies

[@shaunhoward3166]

Very true, Kylie's the QUEEN!! Then Christina Aguilera followed it up with Bionic and carried it on 💯 👌👑👑👑🎤🎤🎤

[@bennshouts]

ICONIC

[@ohguinho]

Love X's era af, but Kylie was inspired sound n visual by Goldfrapp and Róisín Murphy in this era, So clear, but both never have on the top of the charts.

[@andyd3447]

The visuals for this era were everything!

[@bennshouts]

Omg keen to see them!

[@orgyonmyown]

My favourite Kylie album! 😍

[@bennshouts]

Legit same

[@got2bjosh]

My acting coach gave me this album as a birthday gift when it was released. Still Kylie's most consistent and catchiest album. Such strong hooks. One bop after another. What an inspired, post-cancer, celebratory album. My favorite from her discography.

[@burstthroughtheconcrete]

Kylie's had many terrific eras and albums, but X to me struck the perfect balance between being commercial while going into some experimental and adventurous territories that I would have never expected from her. The tour was arguably her best as well. To-date, "In My Arms" is still my favorite song from her. Everything about this album and era was perfection to me.

[@adamvargas1793]

That “WOO” + main production in Sensitized is actually a sample from the classic song Bonnie and Clyde by French singers Brigitte Bardot and Serge Gainsbourg!

[@PaganPoet]

Haven't seen anybody mention this, but this was Kylie's big comeback album after recovering from breast cancer. And even though I think this album has aged rather well, I remember people reacting kinda lukewarm to it at the time. Songs like "In My Arms" and "Wow" were pretty universally well loved, but the more experimental tracks were controversial. But listening to it now it's apparent how forward thinking Kylie was

[@bennshouts]

Yes I saw the cancer story 🥺 So sad! But love that this was her comeback! So forward thinking!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@bruvc]

No More Rain she wrote after her cancer battle ✨

[@brentongolleycraftingdownu9058]

X is hands down one of my faves Albums from her catalogue. 😈💋

[@dickychip]

Great review, Stars is one of my favourite tracks from X. I recommend you give ‘body language’ a listen it divides some fans with its electro/r&b feel but I love it when Kylie goes down the experimental route instead of churning out the same music.

[@confessionsonadancefloor]

this is another example of a Kylie Classic... there are also a billion bonuses, outtakes and demos for this album. KING OR QUEEN is one of my favourites. Fun Stuff: LIKE A DRUG is inspired by a beautiful synthpop classic FADE TO GRAY from the 80s

[@bennshouts]

Oh wow! Thank you for this info!!

[@davidcrazyrides]

Toxic was meant to be a Kylie minogue song till it was given to Britney spears

[@impossprince]

Sensitized" samples Brigitte Bardot's "Bonnie and Clyde" one of my all time favourite Kylie songs. Welcome to the world of Kylie!!!! Get yourself to her Tension tour.

[@millaananova]

I got goosebumps seeing you having goosebumps listening to In My Arms

[@bennshouts]

[@skurinski]

Speakerphone, Wow, Stars and Nu-Di-Ty are my favs

[@so7iane88]

My top 7 1/ 2 hearts...forever 2/ Nu-di-ty 3/ Speakerphone 4/ The one 5/ In my arms 6/ Wow 7/ Like a drug

[@aynosekeponer]

Definitely we need more Kylie!! It was hilarious how the tititititin sound of The One was pushing you out of the song😅 i find it cute and love that song. Best version is the Aphrodite live one, where a loop of harp arpeggios are added to the mix to give it more celestial vibes. A cool album with cool tracks, in the Xtour, the live version of almost all of this album, she gives the strenght that some songs needed (No more rain) and others just go to heaven (Speakerphone, Like a Drug). Was obssessed with the version of Come Into My World from that tour.

[@ta81uk]

Insane to me that you don’t love The One 🤯 It’s incredible live

[@kylelenci]

The One is the best Kylie song when she performs it live. I’m happy she’s performed it every time I’ve seen her since this album was released ^_^

[@sparklesandmeow7239]

Heart Beat Rock is my favorite song off the X album it’s just so off the wall for Kylie!! Superb music from such an amazing artist! It was her comeback after being gone for a few years. Love Kylie Minogue!!!

[@davidcrazyrides]

2007 was the big year of comebacks what with Kyile minogue and Britney spears and the spice girls

[@sagelovescoffee]

Stars is one of Kylie’s best songs!!! ❤

[@MatthewHudsonOfficial]

KYLIE IS THE GODDESS OF POP I FUCKING LOVE HER

[@shaunhoward3166]

The Queen right 👑👌🤟🤙💯

[@bennshouts]

YES

[@daipearmain]

Madonna used to publish iTunes playlists of songs she likes and was inspired by during this time, and she put Speakerphone on one and said it should've been a single. That pushed sales of the song for a while. Nudity as well. This album was rushed due to time constraints with her contract and still being in recovery from cancer. Kylie was disappointed with the production, saying it wasn't as polished asshe wanted it to be, but the best they could do with the time they had. The cover art and the name of the album was what fans wanted. X is ten, for her tenth album, and people were making fan art with X as the name, and that with the David Bowie themed ones were chosen in the end. I think the album was supposed to be called either Cosmic or a White Diamonds, I forget, but I'm sure someone will comment. Pet Shop Boys said they wouldn't work with her, and some songs were censored out of some regions copies, which is some of the chaos in wake of getting this album out in time, and why Speakerphone likely wasn't a single as it appeared on only Japan, region 1, region 2 and some region 4 copies if I remember correctly. This era, along with Body Language, had great remixes and singles with b-sides. The album BOOMBOX is worth a listen. And The One is great.

[@bennshouts]

The power of M haha! Love that she loves it too! Sad about her still recovering and being rushed etc! Would be interesting to see how it sounded without all that happening! The One... no lol

One of my favorite Kylie albums! Very diverse, experimental and interesting.

YES to the Kylie representation heheheheheheheheeh ICONIC! I honestly think she's had two peaks... 2001 with Fever, and 2010 with Aphrodite.

[@bennshouts]

HOW IS THIS NOT PEAK?!?!? It's so good omggggg

[@shaunhoward3166]

Kylie is the darn Queen 👑 💯 she's the best pop/dance artist. And "No More Rain" Kylie wrote about her cancer experience, her voice is meant to be gentle in this track if you pair it with the lyrics! Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿🤟👌🤙🎤💯

Thank you!!

[@kristiansven7022]

Wow I haven’t listened to this album for such along time, It’s so good, 2 hearts and In my arms are my favourites but Stars is also up there, Great review, I’m surprised you didn’t like The One,

Omggggg it’s such a slay! Get into it guuuurl 😍

[@scottward7850]

Kylie’s peaks for sales world wide I think would be 1987- 1989, 2000-2002. You could argue 2010 Aphrodite was a peak and possibly Disco album

[@bennshouts]

Can't believe this isn't in her peak!

[@Matthew-ij3zm]

Disco didn't do that well, it's just that people overreacted and overhyped it because of the pandemic and the prejudice against Golden, the previous album

[@davidlynton9930]

What ??? The One is pretty much Top 5 fan favourite. You should listen to the Freemasons mix which is what makes it sooooo good

[@davidlynton9930]

You need to listen to Impossible Princess, Golden and Disco, all by Kylie

[@davidkay7176]

Love this album reaction, and absolutely love your videos and your adorable reactions! So, this album was released just after Kylie had gotten over having Cancer, and some of these songs are of how she felt going through the whole "C" journey, how she was scared and lonely, to how she felt after her treatment for it, but basically it's a heartfelt comeback and she tries to tell her story through some of these songs, with a few dance bops thrown in. Perhaps this wiki page could explain it better than I ever could haha en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(Kylie_Minogue_album)

[@bennshouts]

Thank you so much!!! Made my night reading those compliments!!!

[@theblowpop]

Okay, so I found you via a fun chain of "I was watching a reaction to one thing, then another, and now I'm here". We love a good rabbit hole, amirite? You MAY have done this already and I just don't know it yet, BUT... if you haven't looked into Kylie's sister Dannii, that's fun for any number of reasons.... doooo iiiiit. lol (Primarily I would say "I Begin to Wonder" -- which when I first heard it on the radio back on the day for some reason I legit thought it was Darren Hayes [lol] maybe you'll get it, maybe you won't--but "Vibe On" is honestly kind of iconic as well.)

[@bennshouts]

HAHA love a good rabbit hole! I haven't actually, I've actually never overly vibes with her, but I think that's just because of media bs yknow? But maybe once I've finished everything Kylie I will move onto her ^_^

[@pablomalafaia1653]

I loooove Nu-di-ty, such a good song

You made me tearful with your thoughts on Cosmic.

Aww, thank you! 💝 Go and do what you've always wanted to do xx

[@katschaccc]

Haha, so many Sex faces and noises from you to this album gave me life today. I'm glad you had a good time. That was a great show and album. Her 10th album

[@bennshouts]

hahaha glad you vibed too!

[@cerchiarolucas]

9:08 "Sensitized" was a sample from the song "Bonnie and clyde" by Brigitte Bardot. It's fun to listen to it the "uhh uhhhh" is an instrument from Brazil called "cuíca"..I know that cause I'm brazilian... 12:13 The One... just watch the music video with the freemasons... GOLD

[@xoTalim]

Please listen to an album called Pep by Lights. It's amazing, she's amazing, and all of her albums are absolute bops but Pep is her best imo!!! Would highly recommend her entire discography.

[@heyadamflint]

Thank you!!

For me this sounds like two albums. All the pop songs from one and then the middle (no more rain, all I see, cosmic etc) from another one. Not a fan of them ones. But this album has some bangers !

[@TonyG-gk7qr]

Hi there. Gotta say however good 2 hearts was, did not belong on this album. Killed the sales! The rest of album is amazing. Anyway, I would love liove love you to take time to review Disco Guest Edition. All are a 4 or 5/5😊

[@ДенисКондратьев-у9ъ]

I now doubt whose album made an impact on electronic pop music. Kylie's X or Britney Spears Blackout

[@survivorbest4589]

Both! Blackout came out first and it was more popular especially in the states so i think blackout still was the more impactful one. X however for sure inspired many artists and for example Lady gagas looks are a lot like Kylies looks from this era.

[@elleryswift3061]

Kylie's style is more delicate and I feel like it's harder to impersonate.

[@soaribb32]

I never got why that synth on The One irritates so many people. Imean, I grew up with this album so maybe I'm too used to it.

[@nodezsh]

There's something weird about Kylie: She has, between other stuff, collaborated with Towa Tei (twice!), and múm. She's also gotten remixes from Yasutaka Nakata (twice!!), and Mat Zo. Besides these weird choices: For Aphrodite, she got Stuart Price as the executive producer of the album, with the specific purpose of finding producers that would match the sound she was looking for. This, along with a crystal clear idea of where she wanted to take the album, resulted in an extremely cohesive aural experience most artists would kill for. These choices hint towards her having a clear idea of the producers that stand out the most on the scene, and she uses this as a tool to produce highly cohesive album tracks. It also hints that she knows the scene well enough to have a defined music taste, in electronica no less. Other pop stars don't have such a definite vision for the album and only arrive there by the time the album's done. And they also have trouble finding the right producers for their album, so the production is not really under control either. So then, why does Kylie decide to make music that will appeal so much to the general public? The answer: She says she's a "showgirl" more than a singer. She has a clear grasp on how to arrive to a particular album sound, but her primary objective is always to move her fans. If she wanted she could do all sorts of crazy stuff with her music, she just chooses not to.

[@nodezsh]

She also doesn't care about the most popular producers in the scene if they don't produce something unique. Probably the reason she'll never collab with Marshmello. He's trash :V Maybe she'd manage to collab with deadmau5 instead, but he's very picky himself.

[@scottward7850]

Her weird choices are what makes her stand out and far, far more interesting and artistic. Her legacy will be the nuggets of gold songs generations will find that they never would’ve thought she would do. I don’t remember reading or hearing her say she’s more of a showgirl than a singer

[@nodezsh]

@@scottward7850 I'm pretty sure she has. She definitely appeals to the public first but her music taste doesn't let her do anything that isn't excellent quality. She also seems to let photographers do whatever they want with her body. That's why all her promotion pictures look so stylized, she gives control to the person who knows what they're doing. She still has a vision but she's mostly handing over control like she does with her producers. She didn't do this musically with Kylie Minogue and Impossible Princess but she said she doesn't feel like she's able to get there again.

[@elleryswift3061]

The One (bitrocka remix) is the best 12:56

[@elleryswift3061]

As much as I love the album, i do feel like the album sequencing is a bit problematic. Star-no more rain- the one could serve so beautifully as the closer to elevate us into the heavenly realm that's the coming of Aphrodite.
