I totally agree but i think the blame lies with Stock Aitken and Waterman! For without their early influence, she would not have had the career she has had.

Aye Elvis, nothing boosts a career in entertainment like surgical intervention.

How did Kylie get on so well in the pop business


She was just lucky, lucky, lucky
pixie373 - I just think she is really appealing, always have done.

I'm not sure what it is about her, but she does it for me.
ELVIS68 - "Her career was as good as over and she only became popular again when she revealed she had breast cancer.

Sympathy and some good PR got her back in favour with the public"

Leaving aside the Pinter-esque proportions of your cynicism, that argument simply doesn't fly.

Dusty Springfield, one of the greatest icons of British pop saw no surge in her career when she was dying of breast cancer, and I don't remember a sudden rush back to the charts for The Nolans when Bernie Nolan was diagnosed.

Popularity in pop may work that way for some people - Kylie is not one of them.
""Her career was as good as over and she only became popular again when she revealed she had breast cancer.

Think her comeback had more to do with this stonker of a return song.

Absolutel Boo - the brainchild of Rob Davis late of cod-croon glamourous rockers Mud. He was the one with the earings and makeup, which hid the fact that he is a graduate of the Royal College and he wrote Groovejet for Spiller as well.

Kylie's acting ability meant she could do those moves on the video ... hang on, I'm getting an image, I need to have a lie down ....
B00, I'll think you'll find that song was 2001 and her cancer was in 2005.

Andy Hughes, did Dusty Springfield or The Nolans promote their careers during their illness?, No they didn't, you seem to be forgetting that everytime Kylie had something to promote she'd have her arse out on show, and she used her illness to her benefit to promote her career.

I'm not knocking her for it, just saying how it is
