I foresaw all this, and I still posted itHow many formats is Disco available on? I‘m buying ALL OF THEM!
I loved the Golden tour but I’m honestly amazed that it took that for anyone to become a fan.
I wasn’t aware of her as being Charlene in Neighbours when ISBSL came out so I don‘t associate the two. Purely ISBSL onwards for me
POTY?I have voted "the POP comeback", although it's a bit blurry for me due to having eliminated most memories of my childhood as a kind of trauma defence mechanism
I distinctly remember hearing Spinning Around on the radio - I was 9 then and had dabbled in Steps and the Spice Girls/had them pushed on me, but had yet to really discover music as an active passion. Then again with Head a year later - I remember hearing it and LAFS on the car radio constantly. I don't think I owned a copy of Fever at the time though - 2003 was really my great pop awakening, and the first songs I remember really stanning were Put The Needle On It by the other Min, Hollywood by Madonna and Trouble by P!nk. Around this time I started listening to the chart show on Radio 1 quite religiously. I remember being absolutely AGOG when Trouble went in at #7, having convinced myself it was a number one smash - imagine the tears of baby Jark. That really set the tone for a lot of disappointments to be endured later in life.
Anyway, SLOW was the song that really actively got me into Kylie. I remember watching the video and the behind-the-scenes on a music channel (and possibly masturbating to it?) and I think I played Body Language and then went back to Fever and Light Years - my friend's DAD was a huge Kylie fan with all the CDs so I burned them all from his collection and became fluent. Fever must be comfortably one of my most played albums ever. I Believe In You was also unescapable on UK radio in 2004 and it was perhaps that song which really cemented me as a forever stan. I didn't go back and start discovering pre-00s Kylie until maybe the time of Ultimate Kylie or even Showgirl Homecoming.
But let's say ON THE JARK RADAR since 2000 and an active stan since 2003/4.
this timeline is everything. I'm living for the detail.A trajectory of my diva obsession JOURNEY:
1997: Spice Girls
1999: Britney Spears
2002: Madonna
2003: Janet
2005: Cyndi Lauper
2007: Kylie
2008: Blondie/Debbie Harry
2014: Lana Del Rey
With respect to Kylie, I casually enjoyed her brief crossover as a USA hitmaker with CGYOOMH/LAFS but was too transfixed on Madonna and Britney at that time to care too much. I stumbled upon "Red Blooded Woman" when it was released here in early 2004 and liked it, but did not discover the rest of her catalog until early 2007 when I was following her post-cancer comeback. I remember checking SAYHEY EVERY DAY for any news on an album announcement. And then I migrated here upon the release of X. 2007/2008 was the peak of my fandom, I'd say.
I feel the slight curse of V̶o̶R̶ POP! now that I look back in retrospect. Most of the divas careers happened to go TITS UP the album after I started stanning*this timeline is everything. I'm living for the detail.
I realise now my post was absurdly extra. I must be getting sentimental as I approach THIRTY.

I remember quite liking it
How did they police that?I liked the show on the whole but fuck me were they fastidious about putting beautiful people up front in the crowd.

BESIDES you can't even SEE any of the crowd in that video...
OK now the trauma response that has been some of your more questionable choices now makes a lot more sense.Jark said:the first songs I remember really stanning were Put The Needle On It by the other Min, Hollywood by Madonna and Trouble by P!nk

She pre-dates Madonna in my personal chronology by a couple of years as she was far more child friendly.
Sorry that my answer was not "stanning since day 1 xoxo" but Ms. Ky still needs to deliver that killer album, and frankly I don't think she has it in her.Lou, you could have just gone for “other” and spared us the dissection.
Not for that particular setup (it was a closed set) but essentially the rest of it was a casting call for crowd shots. I hadn’t quite got the memo.
