00:02Oh, oh, he's wrecking things already.
00:05It's alright.
00:09Where to begin?
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.
01:23In 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. Give 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.
02:17You want to talk about that, mate?
02:19Not now.
02:20100% not now.
02:24The new viral hit 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?
02:38Well, 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.
03:12Seems like another lifetime.
03:14But I'll tell it to you as if it's box fresh.
03:19So...
03:22I 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.
03:46Hiya.
03:47Dead or Alive used to spin me around.
03:49Bananarama.
03:51Donna Summer.
03:53So I was riddled with self-doubt and anxiety
03:56and all those other wonderful things that we love.
04:00I'm standing and never gonna get you up.
04:03I'm gonna let you down.
04:06I'm gonna roll around and desert you.
04:11Ready?
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.
04:22I expected to make a record.
04:23Didn't even know what an antipodean was.
04:27I've got to understand.
04:29I had no idea who this girl was, right?
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
04:43and 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...
04:56What are you doing?
04:59So I just thought...
05:02Let's do it.
05:11They had to write a song really quickly for me
05:13in allegedly 40 minutes.
05:15Who 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,
05:36you should be so lucky.
05:39That'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.
05:56And that was it.
05:58No conversation, that was it.
05:59She gone.
06:00She's gone.
06:03I didn't know if the song was any good,
06:05or what it meant, or would it even make it?
06:07Who are these guys?
06:08What just happened?
06:14I had no idea
06:16that I was about to go over the precipice
06:20into a different world.
06:28Good morning, gang.
06:30This is the Hitman.
06:31With the latest hits.
06:32Before their hits.
06:34I was on the radio at nine o'clock in the morning.
06:36Come on, gang.
06:37Keep your feet dancing.
06:39And my producer walked in
06:40and saw on the label,
06:42Kylie 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,
06:51I hope you've got to go over the place.
06:51Open the mic.
06:52Tell them they're going to hear
06:54the first Kylie Minogue single.
06:55He said,
06:55but only until you hear the first vocal
06:57and then stop it.
06:59I said, what?
07:00He said, do as you told.
07:03Stay tuned,
07:04because 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,
07:27can knock all them off.
07:32So I'm knocking 30 lines out fast and furious
07:35and 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.
07:44Is 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.
08:00Like...
08:01Baby, welcome to Top of the Pops.
08:02Once again we have Ross in the studio tonight.
08:04Elton John is with us.
08:06Let's go over here now with Kylie Minogue
08:08with I Should Be So Lucky.
08:13Well this was the biggest television show in Britain.
08:16And I don't know what'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.
08:55There's not a day really goes by in my life where at some point I don't refer back to those
09:04years.
09:04I 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.
09:14And 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?
09:42Small world.
09:43My first day ever on a set.
09:45We played brother and sister.
09:48It was just crazy.
09:50Oh, wow.
09:51God, that's right.
09:52But I couldn't remember her, no.
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 pet him?
10:08Go on.
10:10Suddenly it was like, wow.
10:17He spoke about you.
10:22She talked about you.
10:24Did she?
10:25That's interesting.
10:28My first thing on Neighbours was with him.
10:32Punching him.
10:35I think that she did actually punch me.
10:39Sorry, Scott.
10:41I don't know what that says about me.
10:46Now you're stuffed, don'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 Kylie 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.
11:42And 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.
12:22Love you too.
12:24Promise?
12:25Yeah, I promise.
12:28Suddenly you're feeling me.
12:30Or life imitating art.
12:32Just 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?
12:50Maybe.
12:56Did I think we were ever going to get married?
13:03The truth is, yeah.
13:06And have kids and...
13:08That's the script written and off you go.
13:15I thought it was my destination.
13:21It struck a chord with the audience.
13:24Because it was real.
13:27The winner is...
13:29Kylie Minogue.
13:33Neighbours has gone on to become the most successful Australian television series ever produced.
13:38Jason and Kylie have become national heroes.
13:42It became really popular in Australia.
13:44Well, I'm lucky I can reach this microphone.
13:47But maybe not as kind of obsessed and maniacal as it was elsewhere.
13:54We're going live by satellite to the set of neighbours.
13:57Melbourne? Melbourne? Is that right?
14:00Oh, they can hear me. Success!
14:02Kylie Minogue, who plays Charlene.
14:05Yes, 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 bumped off school actually to watch it, seriously.
14:21It was wild. We didn't understand it. It was hysteria.
14:26In Oxford Street, normally a traffic nightmare.
14:30But at 1.30, the greatest TV phenomenon to hit this nation brings the city to a standstill.
14:36And people are changing their doctor's hours or their working hours.
14:41Princess Diana phoned the BBC for two episodes she'd missed.
14:48What do you think it is that makes Neighbours so popular here?
14:52It's just fun to watch.
14:54Rather than watching EastEnders 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, 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.
15:28That's her gobsmacked.
15:31I didn't realise how big she was.
15:36But then it's like...
15:38Understand this now.
15:40I get it.
15:41The ice cream wasn't us. The ice cream was Neighbours.
15:45We put the cherry on top.
15:46And then, bang!
15:47Go!
15:49Kylie, Kylie, Kylie!
15:52Kylie!
15:54People believed Kylie was their friend.
15:56I love you Kylie!
15:57Yes!
16:00She was...
16:02the girl next door.
16:11This is Frodo Brooks here in London
16:13with a brand new top 40
16:17At three it climbs four
16:19Billy Ocean, get out of my dreams
16:21Number two it was last week's
16:23Number one, Tiffany
16:24I 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
16:46But I was this upstart
16:49who's stolen the number one position
16:51Do you always want to get into music?
16:54Um, I think so
16:55Probably my brother with me
16:57Because on radio
17:01He was much more rock and roll
17:03Much more male
17:04You're a great artist
17:10It definitely
17:12Was not littered
17:15With
17:17Soap style turned singers
17:19No
17:21So when you started out
17:23Did 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 remember struggling with it
17:31All those years ago
17:32Thinking, well, what do you mean?
17:35Do you see yourself as a singer and 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 going to have to come down
17:48And decide to be one
17:49Well, eventually, um
17:51I don't like to be
17:53Trapped
17:53I don't like to be
17:54Put in a box
17:55And I was
17:56Through 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
18:04How can you do both?
18:07Well
18:08Tell that to Dolly
18:09And Cher
18:10And Barbara
18:11And see what they've got to say about it
18:13They'll take you down
18:16So back then
18:17It was like
18:17Wow, that worked
18:19Now what?
18:21So where are you going now?
18:22What are your big plans?
18:23I'll have to go to England
18:24As soon as I can
18:25And record
18:26An album
18:31When Kylie Minogue
18:32Became an international recording star
18:36She owed it all to Stock
18:38Aitken
18:39And Waterman
18:40No, they're not her lawyers
18:41Oh, she's got to watch my ball spot
18:43On that top shot, you know
18:44They're the most successful creative team
18:47In the multi-million dollar world of pop
18:50I asked Pete Waterman
18:51For the secret of their success
18:52It'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
18:59And it's a memory
19:00You don't try and analyse it
19:02To find out what's happening
19:03In Nicaragua
19:07I'm wondering why
19:09This is really loud
19:10It means
19:13We have to make a whole album
19:15In between takes of
19:18Neighbours
19:19Okay, can we go
19:20I'm coming, Scott
19:21It concerns me
19:22Tony's my boyfriend
19:24Firstly, Neighbours
19:25Had to write me out of the show
19:26Got a job
19:27It's up in Brisbane
19:28One year leaving
19:29Like this afternoon
19:31During which time I would
19:33Fly to England
19:35I would get to the sacred studio
19:37The song would be written out
19:38Here's how it goes
19:40Sing it, learn 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
19:54I hope you like it
19:58It was like
19:59You're on a flight tonight
20:00Let's do it
20:01Go
20:02And head straight back
20:03To the set of Neighbours again
20:06Scott told me you were home
20:08Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat
20:10See you later
20:11See ya
20:13That's what it was like
20:14There was no time to think
20:15Or plan anything
20:16We have two hours today
20:17That's it
20:21Most of the songs
20:22Is written literally
20:23As she sang it
20:30I'd love to say
20:31This was well planned
20:32But it was
20:32Just on the hoof
20:34It's no secret
20:37Good night, chick
20:38Charlene
20:39You can pack your bag and go
20:42I was having an affair
20:43With a French girl
20:44And she kept
20:45Using this wonderful expression
20:47Je ne sais quoi
20:48I had no idea
20:49What a je ne sais quoi was
20:50So I went
20:52That's for us
20:53I still want you
20:57Je ne sais quoi
20:58Je ne sais quoi
21:02I decided to pull into Wolverhampton
21:04To Ruby Red Records
21:06I swear to this
21:06On my life
21:07This is a true story
21:08The first two kids
21:10Walked through the door
21:10Could I have a couple of you
21:11Je ne sais quoi
21:12Pourquoi, please?
21:13I thought
21:13Ka-ching
21:15I just hit the jackpot
21:16Which means that
21:18Britain has a brand new
21:19Number one
21:20Hey, everybody
21:21You have a good time
21:23Woo
21:24And the ironic thing is
21:26It's still the biggest record
21:28Kylie's ever had in France
21:29Give me the one
21:30You know
21:30Well, she said it's Kylie
21:32Kylie
21:33Minot
21:34Kylie Minot
21:40You're number one in Finland
21:41And Germany
21:42And Greece
21:43Great
21:45I was thrust into doing
21:47This photo shoot
21:47And that photo shoot
21:48And these interviews
21:49What's your schedule like?
21:51Go to Germany for a day
21:53Spain for a day
21:55Japan
21:55I've not yet been
21:56Oh, actually, 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?
22:22Yes, sure
22:22How do you feel about smoking, drinking, drugs and sex
22:25All these things?
22:26Sure, I could be involved in all that
22:28But I'm not upstairs 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
22:45There's a swift education as to how the machine works
22:55And I said to her
22:57This is like a skyrocket
22:59Hold on the stick
23:00Enjoy every minute of it
23:02Big round of applause for Germany
23:05Because it will come down at some point
23:10Right, welcome
23:11Thereby proving Andy Warhol's dictum
23:13That everyone will be famous for 15 minutes
23:15Well, 15 minutes can be a long time
23:18Especially when you spend it listening to the work of that Melbourne Nightingale
23:21Kylie Minogue
23:23Who's also here with us today
23:25All five foot one of her
23:26Alas, 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
23:41But
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
23:55You lift the point
23:57She's specially ordinary
23:59Can you give me a smile?
24:01Like this
24:03Unexceptional
24:03Dole banal
24:08It's a blinding ordinariness
24:14Heavy criticism
24:18I remember hearing clangers
24:20That were really public
24:24I was trying to think of a good word for it
24:28Being mean
24:30She's a soap star
24:31Who got a record deal
24:32Off the strength of the fact
24:32That she's very well known
24:37You no longer have to be interesting
24:38To get to number one
24:39You can just be a sort of human
24:40Crocheted scarf
24:42It is absolutely awful
24:44Mechanistic
24:45Valueless
24:46Meaningless stuff
24:46Terrible
24:49And to be 19 years old
24:51And having to
24:54Cough that
24:55That was unpleasant
24:58Well why?
24:59Because I mean
25:00She can sing can't she?
25:01No she can't sing
25:05No she can't
25:06Well the best one was
25:11She can't sing
25:12She can't sing
25:13I'm sorry Kylie
25:14But you can't sing
25:18One of the terms
25:20Used
25:21To describe me
25:23The singing budgie
25:25The singing budgie
25:27The human part
25:31Was missing
25:31It's like
25:32Who are they?
25:33Who are they?
25:34Who decides
25:35This is cool?
25:38Some radio stations
25:39Refused to play her record
25:41Because of what they called
25:42The high irritant factor
25:45What would happen
25:46If I met them
25:46Where I was sat
25:47Face to face
25:48With them
25:48And say
25:50How would you feel
25:51If that was your daughter?
25:53I've been very lucky
25:55Staggeringly lucky
26:07And those critical voices
26:10Were very different
26:13To the voices
26:14That I grew up with
26:15The good chairs are taken
26:17You've got to be quick
26:18You have to be quick
26:19You have to be quick
26:22I was raised
26:23Without any put-downs
26:25Without ever hearing
26:26You can't do this
26:28You can't do that
26:30To avoid music
26:31We were just encouraged
26:32To do what we loved
26:36And that was music
26:39It was everything
26:40It was everything
26:41And how lucky
26:42We're all together
26:43We managed
26:44To all be together
26:45We managed
26:47We managed to be together
26:48We managed to stay together
26:53My dad was an accountant
26:55Worked really hard
26:56But he loved playing music
26:59He really loves jazz
27:00He loves like
27:02Not what I do
27:06My mother was a ballerina
27:08When she was a teenager
27:10Any elegance I have
27:12Is from my mother
27:15And I've always thought
27:17What kind of shy child
27:19I wasn't in school plays
27:20Or anything
27:21But actually
27:22I mean she's posing already
27:29They had three kids
27:30Under four
27:31Three scallywags
27:34So I was flung
27:36Into a music class
27:37Might have been
27:38Because my parents
27:39Wanted me out of the house
27:40But I hated rules
27:42I hated being boxed in
27:45Refused to do my grades
27:48And so my love affair with music
27:50Began 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
28:08To record my favourite music
28:14And I know we're starting at the beginning
28:16But if I go to the
28:18Let's not call it the end
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
28:29And have somewhere to go
28:34Music by definition is moving
28:39And it can go anywhere
28:42Within
28:42I'm probably not explaining it
28:44I'm trying to do it with my hands
28:45I'm trying to explain it
28:46But with all the different syncopation
28:49All the different notes
28:50It's a moving
28:51Living
28:51Breathing
28:51And I feel that my being
28:53Is
28:55I can relate to that
28:56It talks to me
29:01I used to parade around
29:02Doing some kind of
29:04Imaginary performance
29:05In my head
29:06And I just thought
29:07All kids dreamt of being
29:08A pop star
29:12But I
29:13Didn't know how
29:14That would ever be a reality
29:15You've got sort of
29:16A musical family
29:17Or did you just
29:18Suddenly decide
29:18You wanted to sing
29:19Well my parents aren't musical
29:20My sister is
29:21She's actually come with me
29:22On 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
29:27Do you think?
29:27I don't know
29:28Where is she?
29:29Grab her over
29:29Right
29:31Hello
29:32Come in
29:32Now tell you what
29:33You have my chair
29:35What's the last one?
29:38What's it like having
29:39A famous sister?
29:40It's great
29:41What do you do?
29:42I see and dance
29:43Our initial bedroom
29:45Was together
29:47And it was good
29:48Until it wasn't good
29:52And when it wasn't good
29:54It was like a war zone
29:57At one point
29:58There was sticky tape
29:59Drawn down the middle
30:00Of the room
30:03That's your side
30:04And that's your side
30:04And you cannot cross it
30:06If a piece of clothing
30:07Was borrowed
30:08All hell could break loose
30:13But when I was seven
30:15I saw the movie Grease
30:19There was something about
30:20Olivia Newton-John
30:21And that spirit
30:23That energy
30:25It does something to me
30:29I just remember looking at her
30:30Thinking
30:30I don't know what it is
30:32That she does
30:32But I want to do 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
30:45Didn't know much about it
30:47But we pestered them
30:49Until they broke
30:52Mum had a great idea
30:54Of finding an agent
30:55Just to shut us up
30:59Because she's like
31:01Nothing's going to happen from this
31:12My sister Danny
31:13Got a part on the TV show
31:15Called Young Talent Time
31:16Which is kind of like
31:17The Mickey Mouse Club
31:18Hello Australian
31:19Welcome to our really big one
31:21So come on
31:21Get up and
31:22Here we go
31:29But I was not the cutest
31:32So I got an acting job
31:34Now I'm here
31:38And you will save me
31:41It wasn't very good
31:42But it was, you know
31:46No, you can't just leave me here
31:51And then Danny became
31:52A superstar
31:55Here's Danny Minogue
31:57Danny's sister Kylie Minogue
31:59Yeah
31:59She's developed into
32:00A fine young actress
32:01Isn't she?
32:03And I just kept getting
32:04More and more acting jobs
32:05Sorry sir
32:06But 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
32:15Is one of the stars
32:16Of a new Australian series
32:17Are you proud of your sister
32:18Over here?
32:19Of course I am
32:20Are you proud of your sister
32:20Over there?
32:21Of course I am
32:21Well we're proud of both of you
32:22The Minogue girls
32:23But I didn't have the acting dream
32:27I was harbouring this
32:30Fantasy
32:33Of making music
32:35Do you need some quiet
32:44To concentrate?
32:47Always so dramatic
32:50But
32:52So remember
32:53Johnny-Ann wants us to sing
32:55The show this week
32:58And remember the song
33:01Sisters are doing it for themselves
33:03That's my sister Kylie
33:04She's always in a hurry
33:06She plays part of Charlene
33:07In Neighbours
33:08The little money that I made
33:10I used for singing lessons
33:133, 2, 1
33:15Go!
33:24And I was nervous as hell
33:36But young enough to just go for it
33:44Not long after that
33:46The guy who produced your music show
33:48Came to me and said
33:49Oh, you should make a record
33:53Like
33:54My world became special effects
33:57Sisters are moving in for themselves
34:02Standing on their heart to be
34:05And bringing on their own
34:08Like someone's
34:10Said that to me
34:13Sisters are moving in for themselves
34:24She's been the butt of a fair bit of cynicism
34:26By media in London
34:28And the papers over there
34:29Really did give her a bit of a pasting
34:31Like
34:34She looked like
34:35She slept in Qantas' blanket
34:38And another thing
34:39She looked like
34:40She got off the plane
34:41In a kangaroo's pouch
34:43I mean, they really gave her some
34:45Yeah, they get very nasty at times
34:47And it's not nice
34:50It was crushing to hear
34:54Stuff that
34:56You never say now
34:57And
35:00Get away with it
35:03But everyone thought it was okay
35:04And if you'd signed up to be a pop star
35:06Then you
35:07You're meant to be emotionally bulletproof
35:09If you listen to it all
35:11It's going to drag you down
35:11So, I mean, you know what's right
35:13So you've got to believe in yourself
35:18And then even further
35:19As a female pop artist
35:20Don't say anything
35:21Just
35:22Be pretty and
35:24Shut up
35:27But it really did hurt her
35:30Because she's very musical
35:32Do you feel like you want to go and smack someone in the mouth?
35:34While he's a journalist?
35:36Those days I say
35:37Today's newspaper's tomorrow's fish and chips
35:39And 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
35:48It just all got too much
35:55I remember her being the moment
35:56Where I just kind of broke down
36:02I must have been crying
36:03I must have been in a bit of a state
36:07And I remember in that moment
36:08I would have loved to just stay in
36:10And not have to go out and face it
36:13And put myself
36:15Out there
36:17But that wasn't the conversation that we wanted to hear
36:21Because 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
36:34If you don't want a criticism
36:38You don't read reviews
36:42And 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
36:58And when you're a singer
36:59With all your emotions in your voice
37:08Out of ten, how good are you as a singer?
37:11Oh, 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
37:33And I think it just sets you back
37:35And you question
37:36Then you question yourself
37:37Like
37:39Maybe they're 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 things like that
37:47She's almost a sort of DIY celebrity
37:49How hollow her particular energy
37:50Somehow in 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?
38:06Wow
38:06It's Kylie in the night
38:09Who's that?
38:10Point on that 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
38:44And it
38:45I don't know, it didn't piss me off
38:48But it was like
38:52Okay
38:56We'd been this
38:58Partnership in this show
39:01So you're jealous?
39:03Of that woman?
39:04That gets serious?
39:05Suddenly
39:06I could see
39:07She was moving away from her acting
39:12We have to go to dinner now
39:15Yes, we're gone
39:16So
39:17There was a few arguments
39:20That's Kylie getting all shitty
39:22A little 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?
39:45Until they got on the phone and asked me to do it
39:47And then it all changed
39:56I mean, if I'm working me out
39:58Then at that point
39:59I don't fucking know
40:03How do you feel about Jason's record deal?
40:06Well, he's been
40:07I think he's been working on it
40:10For the last few months
40:11With love to guide us
40:14Nothing can divide us
40:17You know, I guess I was frightened
40:19For some reason
40:21I was going to lose her
40:22You know
40:23But, um
40:25Yeah
40:33Okay, now 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
41:13I can describe what Michael's like on stage
41:16But do yourself a favourite
41:17Just
41:20Watch him
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
42:02Look
42:04I don't have anything against Michael
42:10I was a fan
42:11It was everything probably I really wanted to be at that point
42:15Which is even the irony
42:19Right now
42:20In Excess
42:21Are the hottest Australian experts
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 to try and get through his door?
42:36Yes
42:37Is sex at the heart
42:39In what you sell and do?
42:40Yeah
42:40I think so
42:41I like music that has sex in it
42:54After his gig
42:55Jason and I
42:56Were invited back to the after party
42:59Let's go
43:00I think we're in
43:03We're in a very small car
43:04I'd hired this
43:06Like a Ford Fiesta
43:07You know
43:08They got into their stretch limo
43:11And said follow us
43:12And there's little old me
43:14With Kylie
43:16Following this rock god
43:18And his entourage
43:19Two of us in this tiny little
43:22Crappy little white vehicle
43:23To the hotel
43:26So that's when I met Michael
43:30We're getting
43:311.4 million pounds for this tonight
43:33I'm getting five grand
43:34Five fucking grand
43:36Five grand
43:36That'll pay my fucking
43:37Champagne bill at the hotel
43:38Fuck
43:40Did you talk to Michael?
43:42He wasn't interested in me
43:43Yeah
43:45I could tell he was focused on her
43:47Absolutely
43:48I could sniff that one a mile away
43:51And she disappeared with him
43:53Into the bathroom
43:55If I think
43:55If I remember correctly
43:57Which is fine
43:58Which is fine
44:00You know
44:00Growing up
44:03And
44:05And I would have been
44:06Feeling a bit like
44:09How did we get here
44:11Kind of thing
44:12And
44:14We were talking about
44:16Singer stuff
44:19And he said he lived in Hong Kong
44:23And I was about to go to Hong Kong
44:24And Japan
44:25And do these
44:26Live shows
44:27I hadn't really done live shows
44:30So I was
44:30Nervous as hell
44:33There should be
44:33About 40,000 people
44:35This whole area
44:37I can't imagine
44:38What it would be like
44:39Full of people
44:39But
44:39There will be people
44:42In this whole area
44:45And Michael was telling me
44:46About these
44:47Magical drops
44:48Something to
44:49Help with your vocals
44:50He was under the guise
44:52Of yeah
44:52Well I'll
44:53I'll get the stuff for you
44:54And
44:55And kind of
44:56Take you for dinner
45:00Which
45:00Led to us
45:01Meeting in Hong Kong
45:05And
45:06He was really light
45:13I'm interested in
45:14Somehow
45:17Maintaining
45:18Something that I believe in
45:20That's all
45:20You know
45:21I just believe in
45:23In the music that we do
45:24And what I have to say
45:26And if I can maintain that
45:27Through all this
45:29And I'll be very happy
45:30I mean I was
45:33I was kind of
45:35Mesmerised
45:36And he was mesmerised
45:53At that point in time
45:54I didn't have any
45:55Belief in my voice
45:56So I would lean to
45:58Just do lots of dancing
46:02And Michael
46:03Had some advice
46:04That stayed with me
46:06Some stillness is okay
46:08On stage actors
46:09You don't have to be
46:10Running around
46:11All the time
46:12But you know
46:13What we could do
46:14Is just
46:15In fact that stillness
46:16Would be really good
46:17Yeah
46:18The first stage
46:19And just all stand there
46:20Heady straight
46:20Yeah
46:31And those critical voices
46:34For a few moments
46:35Went away
46:40It's nice to think of
46:53Playback
47:10Playback
47:11I could tell
47:13Something wasn't right
47:21I could tell
47:22I could smell it
47:27Hello
47:31And I don't like to be
47:32Trapped in anything
47:34Because I enjoy change

47:39Or defined in a certain way
47:52The tiny 20-year-old singer
47:54Has left the enormously
47:56Successful soap series
47:57Neighbours
47:58It's a plucky decision
47:59To leave Neighbours
48:04Jason and I will always
48:06Have this undeniable bond
48:08But things are about to change
48:11There's no need
48:12To look at my picture yet
48:13I'm still here
48:16Not for long

48:52To be fucking honest
48:53Shit, I'll be in therapy tomorrow
48:55Just getting over it
48:56No
48:56Oh, no, I'm joking
48:57I'm joking
48:58No, no, I'm joking
