As opposed to having one's vocabulary exceeded by one's ego, eh, Glen.

As I've mentioned before, A.L., I just have an enormous... vocabulary. My mental age tends to vary in the same way as your favourite songs, with a range somewhere between 5 and 500, whilst my flesh remains forever teenage. How about you? I thought "bunkum" would appeal to your Bronte reading American soul, but we could go with the more contemporary bullshit if you prefer. Either one describes quite accurately the fetid gushing about Kylie displayed above. Mwuah!

Well I admit that I do like to stare at her perfect ass... but beyond that I will not admit too. Did you really use the word bunkum? Seriously Rose, how old are you? I thought you were about 40-ish, but bunkum places you at about 90.

That's not my point though, I have heard and seen that stuff and it was total dreck. She may be great now some of the time but the claim was that there is no reason to hate her. Furthermore, you both seem to be trying to suggest that her music is somehow less of a construct than other kinds of music, which is also total bunkum. There is no such thing as "just a pop star" and some of her more recent work has actually been pretty arty. Come on, admit it, you are both wearing Kylie coloured glasses!

I agree with Sean Paul. Her past is a good example. She has never shied away from the fact that she was Charlene, or from her ST&W years. Never tried to hide her shame. She has also never tried to be anything other than a fun disco-pop star. She would never claim to be a performance artist, or save the world by exposing her breasts to the world. She is just a pop star. I like that about her.

You've obviously never heard her Stock, Aitken and Waterman stuff or seen "Neighbours"...

I agree there's no good reason to hate Kylie. In a world, where pop stars are trying to bare their shallow souls with hallow music, it's refreshing that Kylie simply makes pop music. She's not trying to "save the world" or reinvent the wheel. She's simply having fun and shaking her tiny booty. And somehow that seems more genuine.

There are no good reasons to hate Kylie Minogue. Period.

There are many good reasons to hate Kylie but on the other hand she is way more interesting and talented than many of those dreary old rock bands. Yes, you know who! And Madonna is way better than Kylie.

Which only serves to prove that you know nothing at all about Kylie.

She's a low rent Madonna with a better accent (and I think Madonna is atrocious, too).

I'm that same way with most albums where my favorite song changes from time to time depending on the mood. One Cell in the Sea is a great album. Oh, and Kylie Minogue is icky.

My favourite songs always change with my mood and current emotional state, but I still, after more than 100 listens, adore One Cell in the Sea.

"Near to You" isn't my favorite song off the AFF disc, but it's a good song and I really do like that album an awful lot.
