DISCO IN DREAMS TOUR

"In forty minutes Kylie packed in eight songs and no less than four costume changes. But it was the dynamic sexuality of her act that grabbed the headlines and confirmed her arrival as a new musical siren. After the high energy opening of 'The Locomotion' Kylie launched herself into a raunchy version of her second big hit 'Got To Be Certain'. Thrusting and grinding with her dancers, she made the message clear- "I'm no longer safe little Charlene". The vamp was soon turning into a lady again though, and by the third song, a moody version of the classic Little Anthony and the Imperials hit 'Tears On My Pillow', the audience was seeing a sophisticated side of Kylie too. Draped in a red feather boa, she playfully cuddled her quintet of dancers, all of whom were dressed in sailor outfits.

        The real sensation came, however, during the fourth number. The mood began elegantly enough. Kylie reappeared on stage in a baggy white zoot suit to sing another of her personal favourites, 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi'. But as the song blended into 'Made In Heaven' the unthinkable happened. Off came the stylish suit and soon she was prancing provocatively around the stage in a skimpy gold sequinned bra and shorts.

        By the time she left the stage- 'I Should Be So Lucky' was the predictable finale- both he (Pete Waterman) and his most successful star had survived their sternest test. Kylie's voice- backed up by a sophisticated set of taped effects in case of emergency- had silenced many of her critics. Aretha Franklin she was not- but the myth that her voice was never an ingredient on any of her hits had finally been laid to rest. She had also come through a baptism in front of Britain's most demanding audiences."
