03:50Seems like another lifetime
03:53But I'll tell it to you as if it's box fresh
03:57So
04:01I came to London when I was 19
04:05Trafalgar Square
04:07From the other end of the earth
04:10To go and make a record
04:13It was wildly exciting
04:17I remember going down a laneway
04:19Into a humble entrance
04:21And then the first room
04:23There's just kind of gold records everywhere
04:26Here we go
04:27Dead or Alive you spin me round
04:30Banana Rama
04:31Donna Summer
04:34So I was riddled with self doubt and anxiety
04:37And all those other wonderful things that we love
04:40Thank you
04:43Joe
04:43And we're gonna give you up
04:45And we're gonna let you down

09:29now you've got to tell me i had no idea what neighbors was
09:52it's not a day really goes by in my life where at some point i don't refer back
09:59to those years i mean the amount of times i get into a cab and someone will go how's kylie

10:15to her
10:15it's just come on man you know that's a long time ago
10:21what i can remember was sitting in the wardrobe van on the set of neighbors
10:27this little aussie soap opera and this new actor had arrived and she turned around to me
10:36it was her first day and said do you remember me small world my first day ever on a set
10:44we played brother and sister it was just crazy oh wow god that's right but i couldn't remember her
10:52no no he's got a big spider do you want to see well does he bite no not if he
10:59likes you i can
11:01understand why i couldn't she had those buck teeth so she looked a lot different
11:06want to pet him go on suddenly it was like wow
11:17he spoke about you she talked about you did she this would be interesting
11:29my first thing on neighbors was with him punching him
11:36i think that she did actually punch me sorry scott don't know what that says about me
11:47now you're stuffed don't you sure do
11:51when i joined it wasn't a huge show hi i'm jason donovan and i'm carly minogue join us here on
11:58monday night on perth's new channel 10. but the producers could see the chemistry between the
12:05two of us so we were coupled together in the show what's happening this hour i'm babysitting bradley
12:13why don't i look after him with you i mean we could do our songs together yeah okay
12:26would you like to try for three broken ribs but we were just good friends
12:36we could understand each other and we must have fancied each other as well that helps
12:43you're the last thing i think of before i go to sleep and the first thing i think of when
12:47i wake up
12:48i'm serious you make me sound like cleaning your teeth i mean um i don't remember a specific moment
12:58kylie and i came together
13:05well i do remember it was in sydney at the very publicly at the travel lodge
13:13we were just kids we're fresh out of high school so it was like that kind of sweetheart's romance
13:22it was art imitating life can i tell you something love you scott what have you done promise yeah i
13:33promise
13:37or life imitating art
13:38just the way i am
13:42but we decided to keep the relationship a secret
13:47because it would give us a fighting chance
13:52i'm totally confused are you or are you not just good friends maybe
14:04did i think we were ever going to get married
14:12the truth is yeah and have kids and that's the script written and off you go
14:24i thought it was my destination
14:31it struck a chord with the audience because it was real
14:36the winner is kylie minogue
14:43neighbors has gone on to become the most successful australian television series ever produced
14:48jason and kylie have become national heroes it became really popular in australia
14:54well i'm lucky i can reach this microphone but maybe not as kind of obsessed and maniacal as it was
15:05elsewhere we're going live by satellite to the set of neighbors melbourne melbourne is that right
15:10hey oh they can hear me success kylie minogue who plays charlene yes the tv executives say they've
15:20rarely seen anything like it will you try and see it my way i don't want to leave you within
15:26weeks
15:26school children all over the country were wagging school to watch the program
15:30i bunk off school actually to watch it seriously it was wild we didn't understand it was
15:39hysteria in oxford street normally a traffic nightmare but at 1 30 the greatest tv phenomenon to
15:46hit this nation brings the city to a standstill and people were changing their doctor's hours or their
15:53working hours princess diana phoned the bbc for two episodes she'd missed
16:02what do you think it is that makes name is so popular here it's just fun to watch rather than
16:09watching east anderson putting yourself in a noose after you've watched it this time yesterday i was
16:13ready to chuck the whole thing in with an audience of 24 million people a day there can't be all
16:19that
16:20many not watching now you've got into i had no idea what neighbors was we were too busy we don't
16:26watch
16:26television
16:30just wasn't in our psyche at all
16:34then of course i find out she's this enormous figure
16:43i saw gobsmacked i didn't realize how big she was
16:52but then it's like understand this now i get it the ice cream wasn't us the ice cream was neighbors
17:01we put the cherry on top and then bang
17:10people believed kylie was their friend
17:17she was
17:20the girl next door
17:28this is frodo brooks here in london with a brand new top 40.
17:35at three it climbs for billy ocean get out of my dreams
17:40number two it was last week's number one tiffany i think we're alone now
17:49let's get the pun out of the way now i am lucky lucky lucky
17:52which means that britain has a brand new number one
18:05but i was this upstart who's stolen the number one position
18:11we always want to get the music um i think so probably
18:18because on radio
18:21it is much more rock and roll much more male you're a great artist
18:30it definitely was not littered with soap star turned singers no
18:42so when you started out did you mean to be an actress or a singer
18:47but you're an actress you can't be a singer
18:51i just i remember struggling with it all those years ago thinking well what do you mean
18:57do you see yourself as a singer and an actress what do you want to be both
19:02what it just didn't make sense to me it just didn't make sense
19:09but eventually you're going to have to come down and decide to be one thing or the other
19:12of the other people like um i don't like to be trapped i don't like to be put in a
19:18box and i
19:19was through those early years but you can't be a singer or you surely you can't that's how can
19:26you do this is just it's dumb how could you do both well tell that to dolly and share and
19:34barbara
19:35and see what they've got to say about it they'll take you down
19:40so back then it's like wow that works now what uh so where are you going now what are your
19:47big
19:47plans i have to go to england as soon as i can and record an album when kylie minogue became
19:58an
19:58international recording star she owed it all to stock aiken and borderman no they're not her
20:06boy is oh it's got to watch my ball spot on that top shot you know they're the most successful
20:12creative team in the multi-million dollar world of pop i asked pete waterman for the secret of
20:18their success it's disposable you buy it you sing it you have a good time it's not to be taken
20:23seriously and then you put it in your record collection and it's a memory you don't try
20:28and analyze it to find out what's happening nicaragua
20:33i'm wondering why this is really loud means
20:40we have to make a whole album in between takes of you know neighbors
20:47i'm coming scott it concerns him tony's my boy please
20:51firstly neighbors have to write me out of the show
20:53got a job it's up in brisbane when you're leaving
20:57like this afternoon during which time i would fly to england
21:03i would get to the sacred studio the song would be written out
21:07here's how it goes sing it learn it go
21:11what's all the hurry i thought we had forever
21:15got it good next
21:20hi i'm kylie on the set of my new video i hope you like it
21:28it was like you're on a flight tonight let's do it go
21:31and head straight back to the set of neighbors again
21:36ah scott told me you were home
21:38repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat see you later
21:41see ya
21:43that's what it was like there was no time to think or plan anything
21:46we have two hours today that's it
21:51most of the songs was written literally as she sang it
21:55i was the last to know
22:00i'd love to say this was well planned but it was
22:03just on the hoof
22:05it's no secret
22:13i was having an affair with a french girl and she kept using this wonderful expression
22:18je ne sais quoi
22:20i had no idea what i should say quoi was
22:22but i went
22:24that's for us
22:34i decided to pull into wolverhampton to ruby red records
22:38i swear to this on my life this is a true story
22:41the first two kids walked through the door
22:43could i have a couple of you
22:46i thought ka-ching i just hit the jackpot
22:49which means that britain has a brand new number one
22:54hey everybody you're having a good time
22:57and the ironic thing is it's still the biggest record kylie's ever had in france
23:03kylie minogue you know where she's known as keely
23:06kylie minogue
23:08kylie minogue
23:13you're number one in finland and germany and greece
23:17right
23:19i was thrust into doing this photo shoot and that photo shoot and these interviews
23:24what's your schedule like
23:25go to germany for a day
23:27spain for a day
23:30japan i've not yet been up
23:32oh actually i have
23:36i just did what i was told
23:40i had no clout to really say no
23:44i didn't really ask questions
23:47and i had to be neatened up and perfected
23:50and always be happy
23:54hello
23:55yes i'm here can i ask you these questions then
23:58yes sure
23:58how do you feel about smoking drinking drugs and sex all these things
24:02sure i could be involved in all that but i'm not up a third to stay away from it
24:11she's selling more records than any other female recording artist in the world
24:22there's a swift education as to how the machine works
24:31and i said to her this is like a skyrocket hold on the stick enjoy every minute of it
24:40because it will come down at some point
24:48right welcome thereby proving andy warhol's dictum that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes
24:54well 15 minutes can be a long time especially when you spend it listening to the work of that melbourne
25:00nightingale
25:01kylie minogue
25:02who's also here with us today
25:04all five foot one of her
25:06alas only in two dimensions
25:08but who can tell the difference anyway
25:12no one wants
25:16endeavor to be
25:17free of effort or free of challenge
25:22but
25:25it was a baptism of fire
25:31what i find so fake is i'm just an ordinary person i'm just a girl next door you can't
25:36live next to the point
25:39she's specially ordinary
25:44unexceptional
25:49it's blinding ordinaries
25:55heavy criticism
25:57i remember hearing clangers that were really public
26:06um
26:06um
26:07um
26:07i was trying to think of a good word for it
26:10being mean
26:13she's a soap star who got a record deal off the strength of the fact that she's very well known
26:20you no longer have to be interesting to get to number one you can just be a sort of human
26:24crocheted scarf
26:26it is absolutely awful mechanistic valueless meaningless stuff terrible
26:32and to be 19 years old and having to
26:38cop that
26:40that was unpleasant
26:43well why because i mean she can sing can't she
26:45no she can't sing
26:49no she can't
26:54well the best one was her she can't sing
26:57she can't sing i'm sorry kylie but you can't sing
27:03and one of the terms used to describe me
27:08the singing budgie
27:10the singing budgie
27:15the human part was missing it's like who are they who are they who decides this is cool
27:24some radio stations refused to play her record because of what they called the high irritant factor
27:31what would happen if i met them and i was sat face to face with them and say
27:36how would you feel if that was your daughter
27:56and those critical voices were very different to the voices that i grew up with
28:04the good chairs are taken you've got to be quick
28:06you have to be quick
28:08i was raised without any put-downs without ever hearing you can't do this you can't do that
28:18everybody
28:19to a great year
28:20we were just encouraged to do what we loved
28:25and that was music
28:28it was every it was everything
28:30and how lucky we're all together
28:32we managed to all be together
28:35we managed we managed to be together we managed to stay together
28:43my dad was an accountant worked really hard but he loved playing music he really loves jazz he loves like
28:52not what i do
28:57my mother was a ballerina when she was a teenager
29:01any elegance i have is from my mother
29:06and i've always thought
29:08what kind of shy child i wasn't in school plays or anything but actually
29:13i'm sorry honey if i don't change the pace
29:16i mean she's posing already
29:20they had three kids under four
29:24three scallywags
29:26so i was flung into a music class
29:29might have been because my parents wanted me out of the house
29:33but i hated rules
29:35i hated being boxed in
29:38refused to do my grades
29:41and so my love affair with music
29:43began with this
29:47this was the portal
29:49this was the gateway
29:56i became a pop fanatic
29:59i would hover above my cassette player
30:02to record my favorite music
30:08and i know we're starting at the beginning
30:10but if i go to the
30:12let's not call it the end
30:13if we come to the current moment
30:17i love music even more
30:20i don't like to be trapped in anything
30:22i like to have fluidity and have somewhere to go
30:28music by definition is moving
30:34and it can go anywhere
30:38within the pop and i'll explain it
30:39i'm trying to do it with my hands
30:40i'm trying to explain it but
30:43with all the different syncopation
30:44all the different notes
30:45it's a moving living breathing thing
30:47and i feel that my being is
30:51i can relate to that
30:52it talks to me
30:57i used to parade around
30:59doing some kind of imaginary performance in my head
31:02and i just saw all kids
31:04strength of being a pop star
31:09but i didn't know how that would ever be a reality
31:12you've got sort of a musical family
31:14or did you just suddenly decide you wanted to sing
31:16well my parents aren't musical my sister is
31:18she's actually come with me on this trip
31:19is she here
31:20and uh yes she is
31:21has she been on the telly before
31:22no not here
31:23would she like to be do you think

31:25where is she grab her over
31:27right
31:28hello
31:29hello

31:31now i'll tell you what you have my chair
31:33that's it
31:37what's it like having a famous sister
31:38it's great
31:39what do you do
31:40are you
31:40i see her dance
31:42our initial bedroom was together
31:45and it was good until it wasn't good
31:50and when it wasn't good
31:53it was like a war zone
31:56at one point there was sticky tape drawn down the middle of the room
32:02that's your side and that's your side and you cannot cross it
32:05if a piece of clothing was borrowed
32:08all hell could break loose
32:13but when i was seven
32:15i saw the movie Grease
32:19there was something about Olivia Newton-John
32:22that spirit that energy
32:25it does something to me
32:29i just remember looking at her thinking i don't know what it is that she does but i want to
32:34do that
32:35but you know
32:37i wanted to be Olivia Newton-John
32:42Kylie and i both wanted to perform
32:46mum and dad didn't know much about it
32:49but we pestered them until they broke
32:54mum had a great idea of finding an agent just to shut us up
33:01because she's like nothing's going to happen from this
33:09rosy cheeks and turned up nose and curly hair
33:14my sister danny got a part on the tv show called young talent time

34:23are you proud of your sister over here?
34:25yes i am
34:26are you proud of your sister over there?
34:27yes i am
34:27we're proud of both of you
34:29the Minogue girls
34:29but i didn't have the acting dream
34:33i was harbouring this
34:37fantasy
34:38so we're coming out
34:40of making music
34:42cause there's something we forgot to say to you
34:45we ain't sister
34:48we're doing it for themselves
34:50you need some quiet to concentrate
34:54always so dramatic
34:57but
35:00so remember
35:01johnny everyone wants us to sing the show this week
35:06where's my table i have to go
35:07and remember the song
35:09sisters are doing it for themselves
35:11that's my sister Kylie
35:13she's always in a hurry
35:14she plays part of charlene your neighbours
35:16the little money that i made
35:18i used for singing lessons
35:22three
35:22two
35:24one
35:24go
35:26now this is a song
35:34and i was nervous as hell
35:41and i was nervous as hell
35:46but young enough to just go for it
35:55not long after that
35:57the guy who produced your music show
35:59came to me and said
36:00you should make a record
36:04like
36:05my world became special effects
36:08sisters are doing it for themselves
36:14sisters are doing it for themselves
36:15standing on their own two feet
36:17and drinking on their own
36:19like someone's said that to me
36:37she's been the butt of a fair bit of cynicism by media in london
36:40and the papers over there really did give her a bit of a pasting like
36:47she looked like a
36:48she looked like a slept in Qantas blanket
36:51yeah
36:52and another thing she looked like she got off the plane in a kangaroo's pouch
36:56i mean they really gave her some
36:58yeah um they get very nasty at times and it's not nice
37:04it was crushing to hear
37:08stuff that
37:10you never say now
37:11and
37:14get away with it
37:17but everyone thought it was okay
37:19and if you'd signed up to be a pop star then you
37:22meant to be emotionally bulletproof
37:24if you listen to it all it's going to drag you down
37:26so i mean you know what's right
37:28so you've got to believe in yourself
37:33and then even further as a female pop artist
37:35don't say anything just
37:38be pretty and
37:39shut up
37:43but it really did hurt her
37:45because she's very musical
37:48do you feel like you want to go and smack someone in the mouth?
37:50one of these journalists?
37:51those days i say today's newspapers tomorrow's fish and chips
37:55and don't worry about it
37:56you don't worry about that
37:57try not to
38:01there was a point in time i remember
38:04i it just all got too much
38:12i remember her being the moment where i just kind of broke down
38:19i must have been crying i must have been in a bit of a state and
38:24i remember in that moment i would have loved to just stay in and not have to go out and
38:30face it and put myself
38:33out there
38:35but that wasn't the conversation that we wanted to hear because our ship is out at sea
38:42we can't go back to port and say we don't want to be on this bloody ship anymore
38:46Kylie come on out here kid
38:48we can't change course now
38:51come on down
38:54if you don't want a criticism
38:57you don't read reviews
39:01and this is the gold album for coli minogue
39:04you just make yourself a move from it
39:07Kylie has the distinction of being the most successful female artist ever
39:14i was insecure i was uncertain and when you're a singer with all your emotions in your voice
39:29out of ten how good are you as a singer
39:32uh
39:33oh i couldn't say
39:34go on go
39:35don't be modest
39:36um
39:38five
39:42i can see it in performances when there's so many voices in my head saying
39:47you can't do it
39:48you just can't do it
39:56and i think it just sets you back and you question
39:58i mean then you question yourself like
40:01maybe i'm not capable
40:03maybe they're right
40:04i don't feel that Kylie is hugely talented
40:07she's not original
40:08she's style
40:09she's almost a sort of DIY celebrity
40:11how hollow her particular energy
40:13somehow in being a shape devised for everybody
40:16you yourself become nobody
40:21this is our room
40:23it's a nice room isn't it
40:26and guess who's in the bathroom
40:28wow
40:30it's Kylie
40:33who's that pointing at camera
40:38when all the criticism came her way about her voice
40:44she struggled
40:51she really struggled
40:54and i was like
40:55well maybe you shouldn't have gone down that route
40:59because that's sort of how my attitude was
41:04don't look for me like that
41:06because her music career at that point had really taken off
41:10and it
41:10I don't know it didn't piss me off
41:13but it was like
41:18okay
41:20see you in the lock
41:22we've been this
41:23partnership in this show
41:28so you're jealous
41:29what that gets serious
41:32suddenly i could see she was moving away from her acting
41:39we have to go to dinner now
41:41we have to go to dinner now
41:42come on
41:42as we go
41:43so there was a few arguments
41:47that's Kylie getting all shitty
41:50little boss moss
41:55I'm coming
42:02and also you know i had my own ego at that point
42:05why isn't this happening to me
42:07do you know what i mean
42:13until they got on the phone and asked me to do it
42:16and then it all changed
42:20don't cry
42:21you must have heard some things about me
42:25i mean try working me out then at that point
42:28i don't fucking know
42:29who made you have your doubts about me
42:33how do you feel about Jason's record deal
42:36well he's been
42:37i think he's been working on it
42:40for the last few months
42:42we'd love to guide us
42:44nothing can divide us
42:47you know i guess i was frightened
42:49for some reason i was going to lose her
42:52you know
42:54but um
42:56yeah
43:03okay now we're on to another
43:05another thing
43:20my brother found this
43:22my ticket from seeing
43:24in excess in Sydney
43:27which is where i met Michael the first time
43:30yeah
43:45i can describe what Michael's like on stage but do yourself a favourite just watch him
44:12it's not exactly what i mean he just was
44:16he just had it he had it
44:22and i thought at one point i'm like i'm sure Michael looked at me i'm sure he looked at me
44:26in the audience
44:38look i don't have anything against Michael
44:41it's gonna take over
44:45i was a fan
44:47it was everything probably i really wanted to be at that point which is even the irony
44:55right now in excess are the hottest australian export since crocodile dundee
45:01the latest chapter is lead singer Michael hutchins emergence as a sex symbol
45:06do you like Michael hutchins
45:07i love him
45:08how hot
45:10hot enough to try and get through his door
45:13yes
45:14is sex at the heart in what you sell and do
45:17yeah i think so
45:19you know i like music that has sex in it
45:21you know i like music that has sex in it
45:31after his gig jason and i were invited back to the after party
45:37let's go
45:38i think we're in
45:41we're in a very small car
45:43i'd hired this like a ford fiesta
45:46you know they got into this stretch limo and said follow us
45:51and there's little old me
45:53with Kylie
45:56following this rock god and his entourage
45:58two of us in this tiny little
46:01crappy little white vehicle
46:03to the hotel
46:05so that's when i met Michael
46:10we're getting paid 1.4 million pounds for this tonight i'm getting five grand
46:14five fucking grand
46:16five grand that'll pay my fucking champagne bill at the hotel
46:18fuck
46:20did you talk to Michael
46:22he wasn't interested in me
46:24yeah
46:25i could tell he was focused on her
46:28absolutely i could sniff that one a mile away
46:31and she disappeared with him
46:34into the bathroom if i think if i remember correctly
46:38um which is fine
46:39um you know growing up
46:44and
46:46and i would have been feeling a bit like
46:50how i how how did we get here kind of thing
46:54and
46:56we're talking about
46:58singer stuff
47:02and he said he lived in hong kong
47:05and i was about to go to hong kong and japan
47:07and do these live shows i hadn't really done live shows
47:12so i was nervous as hell
47:15there should be about 40 000 people
47:18this whole area
47:20i can't imagine what it will be like full of people
47:22but
47:23there will be people
47:25in this whole area
47:28and Michael was telling me about these magical drops
47:32something to help with your vocals
47:34he was under the guise of yeah well i'll i'll get the stuff for you
47:38and and kind of take you for dinner
47:44which led to us meeting in hong kong
47:50and he was really late
47:58i'm interested in somehow maintaining um something that i believe in that's all
48:06you know i just believe in in the music that we do
48:10and what i have to say and if i can maintain that through all this
48:15then i'll be very happy
48:17i mean i was
48:20i was kind of mesmerized and and he was mesmerized
48:39at that point in time i didn't have any belief in my voice so i would lean to just do
48:45lots of dancing
48:49and michael had some advice that stayed with me
48:54some stillness is okay on stage actors
48:56you don't have to be running around all the time
49:00but you know what we could do is just
49:03the effect of stillness would be really good
49:05yeah
49:06the first stage and just all stand there and give you straight
49:09yeah
49:20and those critical voices
49:23for a few moments
49:24went away
49:29it's nice to think of
49:31it's the best thing that happened to me
49:35i'm not ashamed for the world to see
49:39you never have to do
49:43lay back
50:02i could tell something wasn't right
50:11i could tell
50:13i could smell it
50:19hello
50:23i don't like to be trapped in anything
50:26because i
50:27enjoy change and i
50:29don't want to be hemmed in or boxed in or
50:32defined in a certain way
50:34you were in my heart
50:36my love never changed
50:39i still feel the same
50:43especially for you
50:46the tiny 20 year old singer has left the enormously successful soap series Neighbours
50:51i mean it's a plucky decision to leave Neighbours
50:53i would have flown to you
50:58jason and i will always have this undeniable bond
