00:02Oh, oh, he's wrecking things already.
00:05I'm sorry.
00:09Wet again.
00:19There's certainly no end.
00:31I'm not a hoarder, she says, surrounded by.
00:34Oh, okay.
00:35But I found these and I don't really know what's in them.
00:39Oh, there's the... Oh, gosh, that's a bit much.
00:41The first time the hot pants went out.
00:43Sorry about that.
00:50My final guest is a megastar of pop.
00:52With more hits than the Mafia.
00:54Please welcome Grammy Award winner Kylie!
00:57I need to do some editing here.
00:58I really do need to do some editing.
01:00Aha, we're back in safe territory.
01:05Kylie, thank you very much for joining us.
01:07Good evening.
01:08Good morning.
01:09Rustling papers is one of the most irritating noises.
01:12It will send me... wild.
01:16Anyone agree?
01:17No, just me.
01:21Okay.
01:23And this business, they come and go.
01:29You have an amazing way of reinventing yourself.
01:32I've never done anything like this.
01:36I don't know where we're going.
01:39But you're going to reveal a lot of things.
01:41You just can't wait, can you?
01:43You're like, the worst, the better.
01:45Give it to me.
01:47But I'm tentative to see the things that I'm hiding.
01:51But I'm not hiding it from you.
01:53It's from myself.
02:01It's been good, great, terrible.
02:05But I just keep trying to get back on stage.
02:10Life makes sense to me on stage.
02:13And...
02:14People don't know why.
02:16Yeah?
02:17Do you want to talk about that man?
02:18Not now.
02:20100% not now.
02:24The new viral hits has introduced a new audience to Kylie.
02:28Her songs have been streamed over 5 billion times.
02:32There's 35 years of stuff.
02:35More.
02:36How are we going to do this?
02:37Well, when I say we, I mean you.
02:53Thank you very much.
02:56Satisfying, that, isn't it?
03:03What's your version of the start?
03:09Ah, the 80s.
03:11Seems like another lifetime.
03:14But I'll tell it to you as if it's box fresh.
03:17Um, so.
03:21I came to London when I was 19.
03:25Trafalgar Square.
03:27From the other end of the earth.
03:31To go and make a record.
03:33It was wildly exciting.
03:37I remember going down a laneway into a humble entrance.
03:41And then the first room, there's just kind of gold records everywhere.
03:45Here we go.
03:47Dead or Alive, you spin me round.
03:49Bananarama.
03:51Donna Summer.
03:52Excuse me.
03:54So I was riddled with self-doubt and anxiety and all those other wonderful things that we love.
04:07Are you ready?
04:12Ready?
04:12Yeah, I'm ready where you are.
04:13Quick.
04:14Because I've got to be out of here by three.
04:17I got a call telling me there was a small Antipodean in the reception, expecting to make a record.
04:23Didn't even know what an Antipodean was.
04:27You've got to understand, I had no idea who this girl was, right?
04:31Yeah.
04:32I mean, we've got Rick Astley, the world's biggest artist.
04:35It was another artist, please.
04:39So I was waiting around for ages and they'd forgotten I was there.
04:48She had to catch a flight.
04:50Two and a half hours later, back to Sydney.
04:54I'm asking, what are you doing?
04:59So I just thought, let's do it.
05:11They had to write a song really quickly for me, in allegedly 40 minutes, who knows.
05:18Everyone's story is slightly different.
05:20Oh, two hours.
05:21It took two hours.
05:22And that is a very true story.
05:27But we didn't have the title of the song.
05:30And she only had 30 minutes to get to the airport.
05:35So somebody said, you should be so lucky.
05:38That's it.
05:39I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
05:44I should be so lucky in love.
05:48I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
05:52I should be so lucky in love.
05:57And that was it.
05:58No conversation.
05:59That was it.
05:59She gone.
06:00She's gone.
06:03I didn't know if the song was any good, or what it meant, or would it even make it.
06:07Who are these guys?
06:08What just happened?
06:13I had no idea that I was about to go over the precipice into a different world.
06:28Good morning, gang.
06:30This is the Hitman with the latest hits before their hits.
06:34I was on the radio at nine o'clock in the morning.
06:36Come on, gang.
06:37Keep your feet dancing.
06:38And my producer walked in and saw on the label Kylie Minogue.
06:43He said, it's Kylie Minogue.
06:45Yeah.
06:46No, no, Pete.
06:47It's Kylie Minogue.
06:48I went, sorry.
06:50He said, open the mic, tell them they're going to hear the first Kylie Minogue single.
06:55He said, but only till you hear the first vocal, and then stop it.
06:59I said, what?
07:00He said, do as you told.
07:03Stay tuned, because you may just miss that hit.
07:07And this can be it.
07:12Kylie Minogue doing it.
07:15Close your eyes.
07:17The phones went nuts.
07:22All 30 lines lit up instantly.
07:25And you have a switch, can knock all them off.
07:32So I'm knocking 30 lines out fast and furious, and couldn't stop them.
07:37Now that's unheard of.
07:38That doesn't happen.
07:40And then, I get a call from the BBC.
07:43Is this right you've done a single with Kylie Minogue?
07:46Sorry?
07:49Next thing.
07:50You're doing Top of the Pops.
07:52And what?
07:57I didn't even know what Top of the Pops was.
07:59I feel like...
08:00Baby, we're at the top of the Pops once again.
08:02We have Ross in the studio tonight.
08:04Elton John is with us.
08:06Let's go over here now, with Kylie Minogue, with I Should Be So Lucky.
08:13Well, this was the biggest television show in Britain.
08:16And I don't know what the hell's going to be like, I can't.
08:26It was like, what the hell's going on here?
08:29What?
08:30What is this?
08:34Now, you've got to tell me, I had no idea what Neighbours was.
08:51Right.
08:56There's not a day really goes by in my life where at some point I don't refer back to those
09:04years.
09:05I mean, the amount of times I get into a cab and someone will go, how's Kylie?
09:10And it's like, oh, fuck, I don't fucking know.
09:13You go and ask fucking her.
09:15And that, you know, it's not the disrespect to her.
09:18It's just, come on, man.
09:20You know, that's a long time ago.
09:24What I can remember was sitting in the wardrobe van on the set of Neighbours.
09:30This little Aussie soap opera.
09:34And this new actor had arrived and she turned around to me.
09:38It was her first day and said, do you remember me?
09:41Small world.
09:43My first day ever on a set.
09:45We played brother and sister.
09:47It was just crazy.
09:50Oh, wow.
09:51God, that's right.
09:52But I couldn't remember her.
09:54No.
09:55He's got a big spider.
09:57Do you want to see?
09:58Well, does he bite?
09:59No, not if he likes you.
10:01I can understand why I couldn't.
10:03She had those buck teeth.
10:05So she looked a lot different.
10:07Wanna fat him?
10:08Go on.
10:10Suddenly it was like, wow.
10:12Wow.
10:17He spoke about you.
10:22She talked about you.
10:24Did she?
10:25It has to be interesting.
10:28My first thing on Neighbours was with him.
10:31Punching him.
10:35I think that she did actually punch me.
10:39Sorry, Scott.
10:40I don't know what that says about me.
10:46No, you're stuffed, aren't you?
10:47Sure do.
10:50When I joined, it wasn't a huge show.
10:53Hi, I'm Jason Donovan.
10:54And I'm Carly Minogue.
10:55Join us here on Monday night.
10:57On Perth's new Channel 10.
10:59But the producers could see the chemistry between the two of us.
11:04So we were coupled together in the show.
11:08What's happening this hour?
11:09I'm babysitting Bradley.
11:11Why don't I look after him with you?
11:12I mean, we could do our songs together.
11:14Yeah, okay.
11:22Would you like to try for three broken ribs?
11:26But we were just good friends.
11:32We could understand each other.
11:35And we must have fancied each other as well.
11:37That helps.
11:39You're the last thing I think of before I go to sleep.
11:41And the first thing I think of when I wake up.
11:44I'm serious.
11:45You make me sound like cleaning your teeth.
11:47I mean...
11:49I don't remember a specific moment.
11:54Kylie and I came together.
12:00Well, I do remember it was in Sydney at the...
12:03Very publicly at the Travel Lodge.
12:08We were just kids.
12:10We were fresh out of high school.
12:12So it was like that kind of sweetheart's romance.
12:16It was art imitating life.
12:19Can I tell you something?
12:21Love you, Scott.
12:22What do you do?
12:24Promise?
12:25Yeah, I promise.
12:28Suddenly you're seeing me.
12:30Or life imitating art.
12:32That's the way I am.
12:34But we decided to keep the relationship a secret.
12:39Because it would give us a fighting chance.
12:45I'm totally confused.
12:46Are you or are you not just good friends?
12:49Maybe.
12:56Did I think we were ever going to get married?
13:00Now I know that you are...
13:03The truth is, yeah.
13:06And have kids and...
13:09That's the script written and off you go.
13:14Suddenly you're seeing me.
13:15I thought it was my destination.
13:21It struck a chord with the audience.
13:23It struck a chord with the audience.
13:24Because it was real.
13:27The winner is...
13:28Kylie Minogue.
13:33Neighbours has gone on to become the most successful Australian television series ever produced.
13:38Jason and Kylie have become national heroes.
13:41It became really popular in Australia.
13:44I'm lucky I can reach this microphone.
13:47But maybe not...
13:49As kind of obsessed and maniacal as it was...
13:53Elsewhere.
13:55We're going live by satellite to the set of Neighbours.
13:57Melbourne? Melbourne? Is that right?
13:59Oh, they can hear me. Success!
14:02Kylie Minogue, who plays Charlene.
14:04Yes, hello.
14:06The TV executives say they've rarely seen anything like it.
14:10Would you try and see it my way?
14:12I don't want to leave you!
14:13Within weeks, school children all over the country were wagging school to watch the program.
14:18I bunk off school actually to watch it, seriously.
14:21It was wild. We didn't understand. It was hysteria.
14:27In Oxford Street, normally a traffic nightmare.
14:29But at 1.30, the greatest TV phenomenon to hit this nation brings the city to a standstill.
14:36And people were changing their doctor's hours or their working hours.
14:41Princess Diana phoned the BBC for two episodes she'd must.
14:48What do you think it is that makes Neighbours so popular here?
14:53It's just fun to watch.
14:54Rather than watching these standards and putting yourself in a noose after you've watched it.
14:58This time yesterday, I was ready to chuck the whole thing in.
15:01With an audience of 24 million people a day, there can't be all that many not watching.
15:07Now, you've got to tell me, I had no idea what Neighbours was.
15:10We were too busy. We didn't watch television.
15:15It just wasn't in our psyche at all.
15:19Then, of course, I find out she's this enormous figure.
15:28I had so gobsmacked.
15:29I didn't realise how big she was.
15:36But then it's like...
15:38Understand this now. I get it.
15:41The ice cream wasn't us. The ice cream was neighbours.
15:44We put the cherry on top. And then, bang!
15:48Kylie! Kylie! Kylie! Kylie! Kylie! Kylie! Kylie! Kylie!
15:54People believed Kylie was their friend.
15:56I love you, Kylie!
16:00She was...
16:02...the girl next door.
16:05In my imagination, there is no complication.
16:09I dream about you all the time.
16:11This is Frodo Brooks, here in London, with a brand new Top 40.
16:15The sweetest of sensation.
16:17At three, it climbs four.
16:19Billy Ocean, get out of my dreams.
16:21Number two, it was last week's number one.
16:24Tiffany, I think we're alone now.
16:30Let's get the pun out of the way now.
16:31I am lucky, lucky, lucky.
16:33Which means that Britain has a brand new...
16:36Number one.
16:37I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
16:41I should be so lucky enough.
16:44It's a crazy situation...
16:46But I was this upstart who's stolen the number one position.
16:52Do you always want to get into music?
16:53Um, I think so.
16:55Probably my brother with me.
16:57It is a...
16:59Because on radio...
17:00It is much more rock and roll.
17:03Much more male.
17:05You're a great artist.
17:07I'm dreaming...
17:08That you're in love with me.
17:10You're in love with you.
17:10It definitely...
17:12Was not littered...
17:15With...
17:17Soap style turned singers.
17:19No.
17:21So when you started out, did you mean to be an actress or a singer?
17:26But you're an actress.
17:27You can't be a singer.
17:29I just...
17:30I remember struggling with it all those years ago.
17:33Thinking, well, what do you mean?
17:34Do you see yourself as a singer or an actress?
17:36What do you want to be?
17:37Both.
17:40Well, it just didn't make sense to me.
17:42It just didn't make sense.
17:46But eventually you're gonna have to come down and decide to be one billion years.
17:49Well, eventually, um...
17:51I don't like to be...
17:53Trapped.
17:53I don't like to be put in a box.
17:55And I was through those early years.
17:57But you can't be a singer.
17:59Well, surely you can't.
18:01That's...
18:02How can you do...
18:03It's just...
18:04It's dumb.
18:05How can you do both?
18:08Well...
18:08Tell that to Dolly and Cher and Barbara.
18:11And see what they've got to say about it.
18:14Take you down.
18:16So back then it was like,
18:18Wow, that works.
18:19Now what?
18:21So where are you going now?
18:22What are your big plans?
18:23To go to England as soon as I can.
18:25And record an album.
18:31When Kylie Minogue became an international recording star...
18:36She owed it all to Stock, Aitken and Waterman.
18:40No, they're not her lawyers.
18:42Oh, she's gotta watch my ball spot on that top shot, you know?
18:45They're the most successful creative team in the multi-million dollar world of pop.
18:50I asked Pete Waterman for the secret of their success.
18:53It's disposable.
18:54You buy it.
18:54You sing it.
18:55You have a good time.
18:56It's not to be taken seriously.
18:58And then you put it in your record collection and it's a memory.
19:01You don't try and analyse it to find out what's happening in Nicaragua.
19:06I'm wondering why.
19:09This is really loud.
19:11Means.
19:13We have to make a whole album in between takes of, you know, Neighbours.
19:19Okay, can we go down next?
19:20I'm coming, Scott.
19:22It concerns him, Tony.
19:23He's my boy, please.
19:24Firstly, Neighbours had to write me out of the show.
19:26I've got a job.
19:27It's up in Brisbane.
19:28Why are you leaving?
19:29Light this afternoon.
19:31During which time I would fly to England.
19:35I would get to the sacred studio.
19:37The song would be written out.
19:39Here's how it goes.
19:40Sing it.
19:41Learn it.
19:41Go.
19:43What's all the hurry?
19:45I thought we had forever.
19:47Got it?
19:48Good.
19:48Next.
19:51Hi, I'm Kylie.
19:52On the set of my new video, I hope you like it.
19:58It was like, you're on a flight tonight.
20:00Let's do it.
20:01Go.
20:02And head straight back to the set of Neighbours again.
20:06Scott told me we're home.
20:09Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
20:10See you later.
20:11See ya.
20:13That's what it was like.
20:14There was no time to think or plan anything.
20:16We have two hours today.
20:17That's it.
20:19When I discovered
20:21Most of the songs was written literally as she sang it.
20:25But I was the last to know
20:30I'd love to say this was well planned, but it was just on the hoof.
20:34It's no secret
20:37Gretchen.
20:38Charlene.
20:39You can pack your bag and go.
20:42I was having an affair with a French girl, and she kept using this wonderful expression,
20:47Je ne sais quoi.
20:48I had no idea what a Je ne sais quoi was.
20:51So I went, that's for us.
20:53I still want you.
20:57Je ne sais quoi.
21:02I decided to pull into Wolverhampton, to Ruby Red Records.
21:06I swear to this on my life, this is a true story.
21:08The first two kids walked through the wall.
21:10Could I have a couple of you?
21:13I thought, ka-ching.
21:15I just hit the jackpot.
21:16Which means that Britain has a brand new number one.
21:21Hey everybody!
21:22You have a good time!
21:24Woo!
21:24And the ironic thing is, it's still the biggest record Kylie's ever had in France.
21:29Kylie Minogue.
21:30You know?
21:31Where she said it's Kylie.
21:33Kylie Minogue.
21:34Kylie Minogue.
21:35Kylie Minogue.
21:36Elle est la que non meilleure place des Isparades Européens.
21:40You're number one in Finland, in Germany, in Greece.
21:43Great.
21:45I was thrust into doing this photo shoot, that photo shoot, and these interviews.
21:49What's your schedule like?
21:51Go to Germany for a day.
21:53Spain for a day.
21:55Japan, I've not yet been up.
21:57Actually I have.
22:01I just did what I was told.
22:05I had no clout to really say no.
22:09I didn't really ask questions.
22:11And I had to be neatened up and perfected.
22:15And always be happy.
22:18Hello?
22:19Yes, I'm here.
22:20Can I ask you these questions then?
22:21Yeah, sure.
22:22How do you feel about smoking, drinking, drugs and sex, all these things?
22:26Sure, I could be involved in all that, but I'm not up a third to stay away from it.
22:34She's selling more records than any other female recording artist in the world.
22:41600,000 albums sold in Great Britain.
22:44How are you for Carney?
22:45There's a swift education as to how the machine works.
22:49Hey, Walserman!
22:50Who else?
22:51Down to Carney.
22:52Again!
22:56And I said to her, this is like a skyrocket.
22:59Hold on the stick.
23:00Enjoy every minute of it.
23:02Big round of applause for Carney!
23:05Because it will come down at some point.
23:10Right, welcome.
23:11Thereby proving Andy Warhol's dictum that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
23:16Well, 15 minutes can be a long time.
23:18Especially when you spend it listening to the work of that Melbourne Nightingale, Kylie Monade.
23:23Who's also here with us today.
23:25All five foot one of her.
23:27Alas, only in two dimensions.
23:28But who can tell the difference anyway?
23:32No one wants...
23:36Endeavour to be free of effort or free of challenge.
23:42But...
23:45It was a baptism of fire.
23:50What I find so fake is,
23:52I'm just an ordinary person.
23:54I'm just a girl next door.
23:55You can't serve negative star.
23:57She's specially ordinary.
24:00Can you give me a smile?
24:01How about this?
24:03Unexceptional.
24:03Dole banal.
24:08It's a blinding ordinary.
24:14Heavy criticism.
24:18I remember hearing clangers that were really public.
24:23I was trying to think of a good word for it.
24:28Being mean.
24:30She was a soap star who got a record deal off the strength of the fact that she's very well
24:33known.
24:37You no longer have to be interesting to get to number one.
24:39You can just be a sort of human, crocheted scarf.
24:43It is absolutely awful, mechanistic, valueless, meaningless stuff.
24:47Terrible.
24:49And to be 19 years old and having to cough that, that was unpleasant.
24:59Well, why?
24:59Because, I mean, she can sing, can't she?
25:01No, she can't sing.
25:02Yeah.
25:05No, she can't.
25:10Well, the best one was, she can't sing.
25:12She can't sing.
25:13I'm sorry, Kylie, but you can't sing.
25:18And one of the terms used to describe me.
25:23The singing budgie.
25:25The singing budgie.
25:29The human part was missing.
25:31It's like, who are they?
25:32Who are they?
25:34Who decides this is cool?
25:37Some radio stations refused to play her record because of what they called the high irritant factor.
25:45What would happen if I met them where I was sat face to face with them and say,
25:50how would you feel if that was your daughter?
25:53I've been very lucky, staggeringly lucky.
26:08And those critical voices were very different to the voices that I grew up with.
26:16The good chairs are taken.
26:17You've got to be quick.
26:18You have to be quick.
26:22I was raised without any put-downs, without ever hearing, you can't do this, you can't do that.
26:29Everybody.
26:31We were just encouraged to do what we loved.
26:36And that was music.
26:39It was everything.
26:41And how lucky we're all together.
26:43We managed to all be together.
26:46We managed, we managed to be together, we managed to stay together.
26:53My dad was an accountant.
26:55Worked really hard.
26:57But he loved playing music.
26:59He really loves jazz.
27:01He loves like, not what I do.
27:06My mother was a ballerina when she was a teenager.
27:10Any elegance I have is from my mother.
27:15And I've always thought, what kind of shy child?
27:19I wasn't in school plays or anything, but actually.
27:22I mean, she was posing already.
27:29They had three kids under four.
27:31Three scallywags.
27:34So I was flung into a music class.
27:37Might have been because my parents wanted me out of the house.
27:41But I hated rules.
27:43I hated being boxed in.
27:45Refused to do my grades.
27:48And so my love affair with music began with this.
27:54This was the portal.
27:56This was the gateway.
28:02I became a pop fanatic.
28:05I would hover above my cassette player to record my favourite music.
28:14And I know we're starting at the beginning, but if I go to the end, let's not call it the
28:19end.
28:19If we come to the current moment.
28:22I love music even more.
28:25I don't like to be trapped in anything.
28:27I like to have fluidity and have somewhere to go.
28:34Music by definition is moving.
28:38And it can go anywhere.
28:42Within.
28:43I'm probably not explaining it.
28:44I'm trying to do it with my hands.
28:45I'm trying to explain it, but.
28:47With all the different syncopation, all the different notes.
28:50It's a moving, living, breathing thing.
28:52And I feel that my being is.
28:55I can relate to that.
28:56It talks to me.
29:01I used to parade around doing some kind of imaginary performance in my head.
29:06And I just thought all kids threatened to be a pop star.
29:12But I didn't know how that would ever be a reality.
29:15You've got sort of a musical family or did you just suddenly decide you wanted to sing?
29:19Well, my parents aren't musical.
29:20My sister is.
29:21She's actually come with me on this trip.
29:22Is she here?
29:23Yes, she is.
29:23Has she been on the telly before?
29:25No.
29:25Not here.
29:26Would she like to be, do you think?
29:27I don't know.
29:28Where is she? Grab her over.
29:29Right.
29:31Hello.
29:31Hello.
29:32Come in.
29:33Now tell you what, you have my chair.
29:38What's it like having a famous sister?
29:40It's great.
29:41What do you do?
29:42Are you?
29:42I sing and dance.
29:43Our initial bedroom was together and it was good until it wasn't good.
29:51And when it wasn't good, it was like a war zone.
29:57At one point there was sticky tape drawn down the middle of the room.
30:03That's your side and that's your side and you cannot cross it.
30:06If a piece of clothing was borrowed, all hell could break loose.
30:13But when I was seven, I saw the movie Grease.
30:19There was something about Olivia Newton-John and that spirit, that energy.
30:25It does something to me.
30:29I just remember looking at her thinking, I don't know what it is that she does, but I want to
30:33do that.
30:35But you know.
30:36I wanted to be Olivia Newton-John.
30:41Kylie and I both wanted to perform.
30:44Mum and Dad didn't know much about it, but we pestered them until they broke.
30:52Mum had a great idea of finding an agent just to shut us up.
30:59Because she's like, nothing's going to happen from this.
31:11My sister Dani got a part on the TV show called Young Talent Time, which is kind of like the
31:17Mickey Mouse Club.
31:18Hello Australian, welcome to our really big one.
31:21So come on, get up and here we go.
31:23You've got the cutest little baby baby.
31:25You've got the cutest little baby baby.
31:28But I was not the cutest.
31:31Combottance.
31:32So I got an acting job.
31:35This man came and took my mum and papa over.
31:37Now I'm here.
31:38And you will save me.
31:41It wasn't very good, but it was, you know.
31:46No, you can't just leave me here.
31:51And then Dani became a superstar.
31:55Here's Manny Minogue.
31:57Manny's sister Kylie Minogue.
31:59Yeah.
32:00She's developed into a fine young actress, isn't she?
32:03And I just kept getting more and more acting jobs.
32:06Sorry sir, but I've got a job.
32:07This is my last night at school.
32:08How much are you getting?
32:09I forgot to ask.
32:13This young lady, Kylie Minogue, is one of the stars of a new Australian series.
32:17Are you proud of your sister over here?
32:19Of course I am.
32:20Are you proud of your sister over there?
32:21Of course I am.
32:21We're proud of both of you.
32:22The Minogue girls.
32:24But I didn't have the acting dream.
32:26I was harbouring this fantasy of making music.
32:35There's something we've got to say to you today.
32:39Sister.
32:40We're doing it for themselves.
32:43Do you need some quiet to concentrate?
32:47Always so dramatic.
32:50But...
32:52So remember, Johnny and my sister sing the show to speak.
32:57That's my table on the throne.
32:59And remember the song?
33:01Sisters are doing it for themselves.
33:03I know.
33:03That's my sister Kylie.
33:04She's always in a hurry.
33:06She plays part of Charlene and her neighbours.
33:08The little money that I made, I used for singing lessons.
33:133, 2, 1, go!
33:29And I was nervous as hell.
33:36But young enough to just go for it.
33:44Not long after that, the guy who produced your music show came to me and said,
33:49Oh, you should make a record.
33:54Like...
33:54My world became special effects.
33:57Sisters are grooving and fighting their hands
34:02Standing on their own two feet
34:05And bringing on their own two feet
34:09Like someone's said that to me.
34:13Sisters are grooving and fighting their hands
34:18Highly.
34:20Highly.
34:20Highly.
34:21Highly.
34:22Highly.
34:23Highly.
34:24Highly.
34:25Highly.
34:25Highly.
34:26Highly.
34:28Highly.
34:32Highly.
34:33Highly.
34:34Highly.
34:42Highly.
34:45Highly.
34:46Highly.
34:50Highly.
34:59Highly.
35:03Highly.
35:04And if you'd signed up to be a pop star, then you meant to be emotionally bulletproof.
35:09If you listen to it all, it's going to drag you down.
35:12So, I mean, you know what's right.
35:13So you've got to believe in yourself.
35:18And then even further, as a female pop artist, don't say anything.
35:21Just be pretty and shut up.
35:27But it really did hurt her because she's very musical.
35:32Do you feel like you want to go and smack someone in the mouth?
35:34Well, he's a journalist.
35:35Those days I say, today's newspapers, tomorrow's fish and chips and don't worry about it.
35:40You don't worry about that?
35:41I'll try not to.
35:45There was a point in time I remember it just all got too much.
35:54I remember her being the moment where I just kind of broke down.
36:02I must have been crying.
36:03I must have been in a bit of a state.
36:05And I remember in that moment I would have loved to just stay in and not have to go out
36:12and face it and pull myself out there.
36:17But that wasn't the conversation that we wanted to hear because our ship is out at sea.
36:23We can't go back to port and say,
36:25we don't want to be on this bloody ship anymore.
36:28Kylie, come on out here, kid.
36:29We can't change course now.
36:32Come on down.
36:35If you don't want a criticism,
36:38you don't read reviews.
36:41And this is the gold album for Coley Minogue.
36:44You just make yourself a move for me.
36:48Kylie has the distinction of being the most successful female artist ever.
36:54I was insecure.
36:56I was uncertain.
36:57And when you're a singer,
36:59with all your emotions in your voice...
37:02I'm going to be,
37:03I'm going to be certain.
37:06I'm going to be so sure.
37:08Out of ten, how good are you as a singer?
37:11Uh,
37:12oh, I couldn't say.
37:14Don't be modest.
37:15Um,
37:17five.
37:21I can see it in performances
37:22when there's so many voices in my head saying,
37:25you can't do it.
37:27You just can't do it.
37:34And I think it just sets you back
37:35and you question,
37:36then you question yourself.
37:37Like,
37:39maybe I'm not capable.
37:40Maybe they're right.
37:42I don't feel that Kylie is hugely talented.
37:45She's not original.
37:46She's styled.
37:47She's almost a sort of DIY-slam.
37:49How hollow her particular energy...
37:50Somehow,
37:51in being a shape
37:52devised for everybody,
37:53you yourself become nobody.
37:58This is our room.
38:00It's a nice room, isn't it?
38:03And guess who's in the bathroom?
38:05Wow.
38:07It's a calming note.
38:09Who's that pointing the camera?
38:14When all the criticism came her way about her voice,
38:20she struggled.
38:26She really struggled.
38:29And I was like,
38:31well, maybe you shouldn't have gone down that route
38:34because that's sort of how my attitude was.
38:39Don't look at me like that.
38:41Because her music career at that point had really taken off.
38:45And it...
38:45I don't know, it didn't piss me off.
38:48But it was like, um...
38:52OK.
38:55Sandy, you're wrong.
38:56We'd been this...
38:58...partnership in this show.
39:01So you're jealous?
39:03Of that one?
39:03That gets serious?
39:05Suddenly,
39:06I could see she was moving away from her acting.
39:12We have to go to dinner now.
39:15Come on.
39:15She's a sweet guy.
39:17So,
39:17there was a few arguments.
39:20That's Carter getting all shitty.
39:22Little boss-moss.
39:27I'm coming.
39:34And also, you know,
39:35I had my own ego at that point.
39:37Why isn't this happening to me?
39:39Do you know what I mean?
39:44Until they got on the phone and asked me to do it.
39:47And then it all changed.
39:51Don't cry.
39:52You must have heard some things about me.
39:56I mean,
39:57if I'm working me out,
39:58then at that point,
39:59I don't fucking know.
40:00Made you have your doubts about me.
40:03How do you feel about Jason's record deal?
40:06Well,
40:07he's been...
40:07I think he's been working on it
40:10for the last few months.
40:11With love to guide us,
40:15with love to guide us,
40:15nothing can divide us.
40:17You know,
40:18I guess I was frightened.
40:20For some reason,
40:21I was going to lose her,
40:22you know.
40:23But,
40:24um,
40:25yeah.
40:33Okay,
40:33now we're on to another,
40:34another,
40:35another thing.
40:48My brother found this.
40:51My ticket from seeing
40:52In Excess
40:53in Sydney,
40:55which is where I met Michael
40:56the first time.
40:58Yeah.
40:59Yeah.
41:00Baby, baby,
41:01now that day is over
41:06I got a new sensation
41:11Perfect moment
41:12I can describe what Michael
41:15is like on stage,
41:16but do yourself a favourite.
41:18Just
41:19watch him.
41:21Let me know
41:23Sitting all over your face
41:28There's nothing better
41:30we could do
41:38It's not exactly what I mean.
41:40He just was...
41:41He just had it.
41:42He had it.
41:48And I thought at one point,
41:49I'm like,
41:49I'm sure Michael looked at me.
41:50I'm sure he looked at me
41:51in the audience.
41:53I'm the right of thought
41:54In a sensation
41:56In a sensation
41:57In a sensation
41:58In a sensation
41:59In a sensation
42:02In a sensation
42:03I don't have anything
42:05against Michael.
42:06It's gonna take
42:07a little bit
42:08In a sensation
42:10In a sensation
42:11I was a fan.
42:12It was everything
42:13probably I really wanted
42:14to be at that point,
42:15which is even the irony.
42:19Right now,
42:20In Excess
42:21are the hottest
42:21Australian exports
42:22since Crocodile Dundee.
42:25The latest chapter
42:26is lead singer
42:27Michael Hutchins
42:28emergence as a sex symbol.
42:29Do you like Michael Hutchins?
42:31I love him!
42:32How hot?
42:33Very hot!
42:34Hot enough
42:35to try and get
42:35through his door?
42:36Yes!
42:37Is sex at the heart
42:39in what you sell and do?
42:40Yeah, I think so.
42:41I like music
42:43that has sex in it.
42:44In a sensation
42:54After his gig,
42:55Jason and I
42:56were invited back
42:57to the after party.
42:59Let's go.
43:00I think we're in...
43:03We were in a very small car.
43:05I'd hired this
43:06like a Ford Fiesta.
43:08You know,
43:08they got into
43:09their stretch limo
43:11and said,
43:11follow us.
43:12And there's little old me
43:14with Kylie
43:16following this rock god
43:18and his entourage.
43:20Two of us
43:20in this tiny little
43:22crappy little white vehicle
43:24to the hotel.
43:26So that's when
43:26I met Michael.
43:30We're getting
43:31to pay 1.4 million pounds
43:33for this tonight.
43:33I'm getting five grand.
43:35Five fucking grand.
43:36Five grand.
43:36That'll pay my fucking
43:37champagne bill
43:38at the hotel.
43:39Fuck!
43:40Did you talk to Michael?
43:42He wasn't interested in me.
43:44Yeah.
43:45I could tell
43:46he was focused on her.
43:47Absolutely.
43:48I could sniff
43:49if that went a mile away.
43:51And
43:51she disappeared
43:53with him
43:53into the bathroom
43:55if I think
43:55if I remember correctly.
43:57Which is fine.
44:00You know,
44:00growing up.
44:03And
44:05I would have been
44:06feeling a bit like
44:09how did we get here
44:11kind of thing.
44:12And
44:14we're talking about
44:16singer stuff.
44:19and he said
44:20he lived in Hong Kong
44:23and I was about
44:24to go to Hong Kong
44:24and Japan
44:25and do these
44:26live shows.
44:27I hadn't really done
44:28live shows.
44:29So I was
44:30nervous as hell.
44:33There should be
44:33about 40,000 people
44:35in this whole area.
44:37I can't imagine
44:38what it will be like
44:39full of people
44:39but
44:39there will be people
44:42in this whole area.
44:45And Michael
44:46was telling me
44:46about these
44:47magical drops.
44:48Something to
44:49help with your vocals.
44:50He was
44:51under the guise of
44:52yeah,
44:52well I'll
44:53get the stuff for you
44:54and
44:55kind of take you
44:56for dinner.
45:00Which
45:00led to us
45:01meeting
45:01in Hong Kong.
45:05and
45:06he was
45:07really late.
45:13I'm interested
45:14in
45:14somehow
45:16maintaining
45:18something
45:19that I believe
45:19in.
45:20That's all.
45:21You know
45:21I just believe
45:22in the music
45:24that we do
45:24and
45:25what I have to say
45:26and if I can
45:27maintain that
45:27through all this
45:29I'm very happy.
45:31I mean
45:31I was
45:34I was
45:35kind of
45:35mesmerised
45:36and he was
45:36mesmerised.
45:52At that point
45:53in time
45:54I didn't have
45:55any belief
45:56in my voice
45:56so I would
45:57lean to just
45:58do lots
45:59of dancing.
46:02and Michael
46:03had some
46:04advice
46:04that stayed
46:05with me.
46:06Some stillness
46:07is okay
46:08on stage
46:08I just
46:09you don't
46:10have to be
46:10running around
46:11all the time.
46:12But you know
46:13what we could
46:13do is just
46:15think that
46:16stillness
46:16would be
46:17really good
46:18the first day
46:19and just
46:19all stand
46:20there
46:20really straight.
46:31and those
46:32critical voices
46:33for a few
46:35moments
46:35went away
46:40it's nice
46:41to think of.
46:53playback.
47:06Playback.
47:12I could tell
47:13something
47:13wasn't right.
47:21I could tell.
47:22I could smell it.
47:27Hello.
47:31I don't like
47:32to be
47:32trapped in
47:33anything
47:34because I
47:35enjoy change
47:36and I
