00:12Oh, look, but I'll get all embarrassed.
00:14Will you? Bullshit.
00:19They're convincing me to let you in.
00:21Oh, go on, let them in.
00:22Oh, right.
00:32Come in to my room, eh, okay?
00:37Oh, oh, he's wrecking things already.
00:40It's alright.
00:44Where to begin?
00:55There's certainly no end.
01:07I'm not a hoarder, she says, surrounded by.
01:11Oh, okay.
01:12But I found these and I don't really know what's in them.
01:16Oh, there's the...
01:16Oh, gosh, that's a bit much.
01:18The first time the hot pants went out.
01:20Sorry about that.
01:27My final guest is a megastar of pop with more hits than the Mafia.
01:31Please welcome Grammy Award winner Kylie.
01:35I need to do some editing here.
01:37I really do need to do some editing.
01:38Aha, we're back in safe territory.
01:43Kylie, thank you very much for joining us.
01:45Good evening.
01:46Good morning.
01:46Rustling papers is one of the most irritating noises.
01:51It will send me wild.
01:55Anyone agree?
01:56No, just me.
01:59Okay.
02:02And this business, they come and go.
02:08But you have an amazing way of reinventing yourself.
02:12I've never done anything like this.
02:16I don't know where we're going, but you're going to reveal a lot of things.
02:22You just can't wait, can you?
02:23You're like, the worst, the better.
02:25Give it to me.
02:27But I'm tempted to see the things that I'm hiding, but I'm not hiding it from you.
02:34It's for myself.
02:41It's been good, great, terrible.
02:47But I just keep trying to get back on stage.
02:51Life makes sense to me on stage and people don't know why.
02:57Yeah.
02:59You want to talk about that now?
03:00Not now.
03:02100% not now.
03:06The new viral hit has introduced a new audience to Kylie.
03:10Her songs have been streamed over 5 billion times.
03:15There's 35 years of stuff.
03:18More.
03:19How are we going to do this?
03:20Well, when I say we, I mean you.
03:37Thank you very much.
03:40Satisfying that, isn't it?
03:47What's your version of the start?
03:54Ah, the 80s.
03:56Seems like another lifetime.
03:59But I'll tell it to you as if it's box fresh.
04:03So.
04:07I came to London when I was 19.
04:10Trafalgar Square.
04:13From the other end of the earth, to go and make a record, it was wildly exciting.
04:23I remember going down a laneway into a humble entrance.
04:27And then the first room, there's just kind of gold records everywhere.
04:32Oh, yeah.
04:33Dead or Alive, you spin me around.
04:36Bananarama.
04:37Donna Summer.
04:40So I was riddled with self-doubt and anxiety and all those other wonderful things that we love.
04:59ready yeah i'm ready where you are quick because i've got to be out of here by three
05:05i got a call telling me there was a small antipodean in the reception

05:49so i just thought let's do it
06:02they had to write a song really quickly for me in allegedly 40 minutes who knows
06:09everyone's stories slightly different oh two hours it took two hours and that is a very true story
06:18but we didn't have the title of the song
06:21and she only had 30 minutes to get to the airport
06:27so somebody said you should be so lucky
06:49and that was it no conversation that was it she gone she's gone

10:27what i can remember was sitting in the wardrobe van on the set of neighbors this little aussie soap
10:35opera and this new actor had arrived and she turned around to me it was her first day and said
10:43do you

11:57when i joined it wasn't a huge show hi i'm jason donovan and i'm carly minogue join us here on
12:04monday night on perth's new channel 10. but the producers could see the chemistry between the two of us
12:12so we were coupled together in the show what's happening this hour i'm babysitting bradley
12:19why don't i look after him with you i mean we could do our songs together yeah okay
12:31would you like to try for three broken ribs
12:41we could understand each other and we must have fancied each other as well that helps
12:49you're the last thing i think of before i go to sleep and the first thing i think of when
12:53i wake up
12:54i'm serious you make me sound like cleaning your teeth i mean um i don't remember a specific moment
13:04kylie and i came together
13:11well i i do remember it was in sydney very publicly at the travel lodge
13:19we were just kids we're fresh out of high school so it was like that kind of sweetheart's romance
13:27it was art imitating life can i tell you something love you scott love you promise yeah i promise
13:47we decided to keep the relationship a secret
13:53because it would give us a fighting chance
13:58i'm totally confused are you or are you not just good friends maybe
14:10Did I think we were ever going to get married?
14:17The truth is, yeah.
14:20And have kids and that's the script written and off you go.
14:30I thought it was my destination.
14:36It struck a chord with the audience.
14:39Because it was real.
14:42The winner is Kylie Minogue.
14:48Neighbours has gone on to become the most successful Australian television series ever produced.
14:54Jason and Kylie have become national heroes.
14:58It became really popular in Australia.
15:00I'm lucky I can reach this microphone.
15:03But maybe not as kind of obsessed and maniacal as it was.
15:10Elsewhere.
15:11We're going live by satellite to the set of neighbours.
15:14Melbourne?
15:15Melbourne?
15:16Is that right?
15:16Hey.
15:17Oh, they can hear me.
15:18Success.
15:19Kylie Minogue who plays Charlene.
15:22Yes, hello.
15:24The TV executives say they've rarely seen anything like it.
15:27Will you try and see it my way?
15:29I don't want to leave you.
15:31Within weeks, school children all over the country were wagging school to watch the program.
15:36I bunk off school actually to watch it, seriously.
15:39It was wild.
15:41We didn't understand it.
15:42It was hysteria.
15:45In Oxford Street, normally a traffic nightmare.
15:48But at 1.30, the greatest TV phenomenon to hit this nation brings the city to a standstill.
15:55And people were changing their doctor's hours or their working hours.
16:00Princess Diana phoned the BBC for two episodes she'd missed.
16:08What do you think it is that makes Neighbours so popular here?
16:12It's just fun to watch.
16:14Rather than watching EastEnders and putting yourself in a noose after you've watched it.
16:18This time yesterday, I was ready to chuck the whole thing in.
16:21With an audience of 24 million people a day, there can't be all that many not watching.
16:27Now, you've got to tell me, I had no idea what Neighbours was.
16:30We were too busy, we didn't watch television.
16:35It just wasn't in our psyche at all.
16:40Then, of course, I find out she's this enormous figure.
16:49I had so gobsmacked.
16:52I didn't realise how big she was.
16:57But then it's like...
17:00Understand this now.
17:02I get it.
17:03The ice cream wasn't us.
17:05The ice cream was Neighbours.
17:06We put the cherry on top.
17:08And then bang.
17:16People believed Kylie was their friend.
17:19I love it, Kylie!
17:20Yeah!
17:23She was...
17:25...the girl next door.
17:35This is Frodo Brooks here in London with a brand-new Top 40.
17:41At three, it climbs four.
17:43Billy Ocean, get out of my dreams.
17:45Number two, it was last week's number one.
17:48Tiffany, I think we're alone now.
17:54And let's get the pun out of the way now.
17:56I am lucky, lucky, lucky.
17:58Which means that Britain has a brand-new...
18:01Number one.
18:02I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
18:05I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
18:09It's a crazy situation...
18:12But I was this upstart who's stolen the number one position.
18:17Were you always wanting to get into music?
18:19Um, I think so.
18:21Probably...
18:22...brother with you with me.
18:23Yeah, you too.
18:23Because on radio, it was much more rock and roll, much more male, you know, a great artist.
18:33And I'm dreaming that you're in love with me.
18:36It definitely was not littered with soap star-turned-singers.
18:46No.
18:48So when you started out, did you mean to be an actress or a singer?
18:53But you're an actress.
18:54You can't be a singer.
18:57I just remember struggling with it all those years ago, thinking, well, what do you mean?
19:02Do you see yourself as a singer or an actress?
19:04What do you want to be?
19:05Both.
19:08Well, it just didn't make sense to me.
19:11It just didn't make sense.
19:14But eventually, you're going to have to come down and decide to be one thing or the other.
19:18Well, eventually, um, I don't like to be trapped.
19:22I don't like to be put in a box.
19:24And I was through those early years.
19:26But you can't be a singer.
19:28Well, surely you can't.
19:31That's...
19:31How can you do...
19:32It's just...
19:33It's dumb.
19:34How can you do both?
19:37Well, tell that to Dolly and Cher and Barbara.
19:40And see what they've got to say about it.
19:43They'll take you down.
19:46So back then, it was like, wow, that works.
19:49Now what?
19:51So where are you going now?
19:52What are your big plans?
19:53To go to England as soon as I can.
19:56And record an album.
20:02When Kylie Minogue became an international recording star, she owed it all to Stock, Aitken, and Waterman.
20:11No, they're not her lawyers.
20:13Oh, you've got to watch my ball spot on that top shot, you know?
20:15They're the most successful creative team in the multi-million dollar world of pop.
20:21I asked Pete Waterman for the secret of their success.
20:24It's disposable.
20:26You buy it, you sing it, you have a good time.
20:28It's not to be taken seriously.
20:29And then you put it in your record collection and it's a memory.
20:33You don't try and analyse it to find out what's happening in Nicaragua.
20:39I'm wondering why...
20:41This is really loud.
20:43Me.
20:46We have to make a whole album in between takes of, you know, neighbours.
20:52Okay, can we go, Vantac?
20:53I'm coming, Scott.
20:55It concerns me, Tony.
20:56He's my boyfriend.
20:57Firstly, neighbours have to write me out of the show.
21:00Got a job.
21:01It's up in Brisbane.
21:02Why are you leaving?
21:03Like this afternoon.
21:05During which time I would fly to England.
21:09I would get to the sacred studio.
21:11The song would be written out.
21:12Here's how it goes.
21:14Sing it.
21:15Learn it.
21:15Go.
21:17What's all the hurry?
21:19I thought we had forever.
21:21Got it?
21:22Good.
21:23Next.
21:26Hi, I'm Kylie.
21:27On the set of my new video, I hope you like it.
21:33It was like, you're on a flight tonight, let's do it, go.
21:37And head straight back to the set of neighbours again.
21:41Ah, Scott told me you were home.
21:44Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
21:46See you later.
21:47See ya.
21:48That's what it was like.
21:50There was no time to think or plan anything.
21:51We have two hours today.
21:53That's it.
21:57Most of the songs was written literally as she sang it.
22:06I'd love to say this was well planned, but it was just on the hoof.
22:19I was having an affair with a French girl, and she kept using this wonderful expression,
22:24je ne sais quoi.
22:26I had no idea what a je ne sais quoi was, but I went, that's for us.
22:40I decided to pull into Wolverhampton, to Ruby Red Records.
22:44I swear to you, this is all my life, this is a true story.
22:47The first two kids walked through the door, could I have a couple of you,
22:50je ne sais quoi, please?
22:51I thought, ka-ching, I just hit the jackpot.
22:55Which means that Britain has a brand new...
22:58Number one.
22:59Hey everybody, you're having a good time!
23:03And the ironic thing is, it's still the biggest record Kylie's ever had in France.
23:09Kylie Minogue, you know what you're doing?
23:11Where she's done is Kylie.
23:12Kylie Minogue.
23:14Kylie Minogue.
23:20You're number one in Finland and Germany and Greece.
23:23Great.
23:25I was thrust into doing this photo shoot, that photo shoot, and these interviews.
23:30What's your schedule like?
23:32Go to Germany for a day.
23:34Spain for a day.
23:35Japan, I've not yet been up.
23:38Oh, actually I have.
23:42I just did what I was told.
23:46I had no clout to really say no.
23:50I didn't really ask questions.
23:53And I had to be neatened up and perfected.
23:57And always be happy.
24:00Hello?
24:01Yes, I'm here.
24:02Can I ask you these questions then?
24:04Yeah, sure.
24:04How do you feel about smoking, drinking, drugs and sex, all these things?
24:08Sure, I could be involved in all that, but I'm not up a third to stay away from it.
24:17She's selling more records than any other female recording artist in the world.
24:28There's a swift education as to how the machine works.
24:39And I said to her, this is like a skyrocket.
24:43Hold on the stick, enjoy every minute of it.
24:46Big round of applause for Kami!
24:49Because it will come down at some point.
24:54Right, welcome.
24:56Thereby proving Andy Warhol's dictum that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
25:00Well, 15 minutes can be a long time,
25:02especially when you spend it listening to the work of that Melbourne nightingale,
25:07Kylie Minogue, who's also here with us today.
25:10All five foot one of her, alas, only in two dimensions,
25:14but who can tell the difference anyway?
25:17No one wants...
25:22endeavour to be free of effort or free of challenge.
25:28But...
25:31It was a baptism of fire.
25:36What I find so fake is I'm just an ordinary person,
25:40I'm just a girl next door, you can't live next door.
25:43You've missed the point.
25:44She's specially ordinary.
25:46Can you give me a smile?
25:49It's unexceptional.
25:50Dole, banal.
25:55It's a blinding ordinarily.
26:01Heavy criticism.
26:05I remember hearing clangers that were really public.
26:12I was trying to think of a good word for it.
26:16Being mean.
26:18She's a soap star who got a record deal off the strength for the fact that she's very well known.
26:26You no longer have to be interesting to get to number one, you can just be a sort of human,
26:29crocheted scarf.
26:32It is absolutely awful, mechanistic, valueless, meaningless stuff.
26:36Terrible.
26:38And to be 19 years old and having to cop that, that was unpleasant.
26:48Well, why?
26:49Because, I mean, she can sing, can't she?
26:51No, she can't sing.
26:53No, she can't.
27:00Well, the best one was, she can't sing.
27:03She can't sing.
27:04I'm sorry, Kylie, but you can't sing.
27:09And one of the terms used to describe me.
27:15The singing budgie.
27:16The singing budgie.
27:21The human part was missing.
27:23It's like, who are they?
27:24Who are they?
27:26Who decides this is cool?
27:29Some radio stations refused to play her record because of what they called the high irritant factor.
27:37What would happen if I met them and I was sat face to face with them and say,
27:42how would you feel if that was your daughter?
27:46I feel very lucky, staggeringly lucky.
28:02And those critical voices were very different to the voices that I grew up with.
28:09The good chairs are taken.
28:11You've got to be quick.
28:12You have to be quick.
28:16I was raised without any put-downs, without ever hearing, you can't do this, you can't do that.
28:23Good evening, everybody.
28:25To a great year.
28:26We were just encouraged to do what we loved.
28:31And that was music.
28:34It was everything.
28:36And how lucky we're all together.
28:38We managed to all be together.
28:41We managed.
28:42We managed to be together.
28:43We managed to stay together.
28:48My dad was an accountant.
28:51Worked really hard.
28:52But he loved playing music.
28:55He really loves jazz.
28:57He loves, like, not what I do.
29:03My mother was a ballerina when she was a teenager.
29:07Any elegance I have is from my mother.
29:12And I've always thought, what kind of shy child?
29:16I wasn't in school plays or anything, but actually.
29:19I mean, she was posing already.
29:26They had three kids under four.
29:29Three scallywags.
29:32So I was flung into a music class.
29:35Might have been because my parents wanted me out of the house.
29:39But I hated rules.
29:40I hated being boxed in.
29:43I refused to do my grades.
29:46And so my love affair with music began with this.
29:53This was the portal.
29:55This was the gateway.
30:01I became a pop fanatic.
30:04I would hover above my cassette player to record my favourite music.
30:14And I know we're starting at the beginning, but if I go to the end, let's not call it the
30:19end.
30:19If we come to the current moment, I love music even more.
30:26I don't like to be trapped in anything.
30:28I like to have fluidity and have somewhere to go.
30:34Music, by definition, is moving.
30:39And it can go anywhere.
30:43Within, I'm probably not explaining it.
30:45I'm trying to do it with my hands.
30:46I'm trying to explain it.
30:47But with all the different syncopation, all the different notes, it's a moving, living, breathing thing.
30:53And I feel that my being is, I can relate to that.
30:58It talks to me.
31:03I used to parade around doing some kind of imaginary performance in my head.
31:08And I just thought all kids dreamt of being a pop star.
31:14But I didn't know how that would ever be a reality.
31:17You've got sort of a musical family, or did you just suddenly decide you wanted to sing?
31:22Well, my parents aren't musical.
31:23My sister is.
31:24She's actually come with me on this trip.
31:25Is she here?
31:25And yes, she is.
31:26Has she been on the telly before?
31:28No, not here.
31:29Would she like to be, do you think?
31:31I don't know.
31:31Where is she?
31:32Grab her over.
31:33Right.
31:34Hello.
31:35Hello.
31:35Come in.
31:36Now, tell you what, you have by chair.
31:42What's it like having a famous sister?
31:44It's great.
31:45What do you do?
31:46Are you sitting there?
31:47I see and dance.
31:48Our initial bedroom was together, and it was good until it wasn't good.
31:56And when it wasn't good, it was like a war zone.
32:02At one point, there was sticky tape drawn down the middle of the room.
32:08That's your side, and that's your side, and you cannot cross it.
32:11If a piece of clothing was borrowed, all hell could break loose.
32:18But when I was seven, I saw the movie Grease.
32:25There was something about Olivia Newton-John, that spirit, that energy.
32:31It does something to me.
32:35I just remember looking at her, thinking, I don't know what it is that she does, but I want to
32:39do that.
32:41But, you know.
32:43I wanted to be Olivia Newton-John.
32:48Kylie and I both wanted to perform.
32:51Mum and Dad didn't know much about it, but we pestered them until they broke.
33:00Mum had a great idea of finding an agent just to shut us up.
33:07Because she's like, nothing's going to happen from this.
33:15Rosy cheeks and turned up nose and curly hair.
33:20My sister Dani got a part on the TV show called Young Talents Home, which is kind of like the
33:26Mickey Mouse Club.
33:27Hello Australian, welcome to our really big one.
33:30I said, come on, get up and here we go.
33:32Baby face.
33:34You've got the cutest little baby face.
33:38But I was not the cutest.
33:41Combatant.
33:42So I got an acting job.
33:45Policemen came and took mum and papa away.
33:47Now I'm here.
33:49And you will save me.
33:51It wasn't very good, but it was, you know.
33:56No, you can't just leave me here.
34:01And then Dani became a superstar.
34:05Here's Dani Minogue.
34:08Dani's sister Kylie Minogue.
34:10Yeah?
34:11She's developed into a fine young actress, isn't she?
34:14And I just kept getting more and more acting jobs.
34:17Sorry sir, but I've got a job.
34:18This is my last day at school.
34:20How much are you getting?
34:21I forgot to ask.
34:25This young lady Kylie Minogue is one of the stars of a new Australian series.
34:29Are you proud of your sister over here?
34:31Yes I am.
34:32Are you proud of your sister over there?
34:33Yes I am.
34:33Well we're proud of both of you.
34:34The Minogue girls.
34:36But I didn't have the acting dream.
34:39I was harbouring this fantasy
34:46of making music.
34:52Sister!
34:53Who drowned themselves.
34:56You need some quiet to concentrate.
35:00Always so dramatic.
35:03But!
35:06So remember, Johnny-Emm wants us to sing the show this week.
35:11Where's my table?
35:12I forgot.
35:13And remember the song?
35:15His sisters are doing it for themselves.
35:17Alright.
35:17That's my sister Kylie.
35:19She's always in a hurry.
35:20She plays a part of Charlene and Neighbours.
35:22The little money that I made, I used for singing lessons.
35:27Three, two, one, go!
35:32Now this is a song
35:35To set it free again
35:39That God just lived the rest of the female state
35:44And I was nervous as hell.
35:47Mother, mother, and an answer
35:51But young enough to just go for it.
36:01Not long after that, the guy who produced your music show
36:04came to me and said,
36:06Oh, you should make a record.
36:11Like, my world became special effects.
36:14Sisters are ruining for themselves
36:19Standing on their own two feet
36:22And bringing on their avail
36:25Like, someone's said that to me.
36:31Sisters are ruining for themselves
36:42She's been the butt of a fair bit of cynicism by media in London
36:46And the papers over there really did give her a bit of a pasting like
36:53She looked like a slept in Qantas blanket
36:57Yeah, and another thing, she looked like she got off the plane in a kangaroo's pouch.
37:02I mean, they really gave her some
37:04Yeah, they get very nasty at times and it's not nice.
37:10It was crushing to hear stuff that you never say now and get away with it.
37:23But everyone thought it was okay and if you'd signed up to be a pop star then you're meant to
37:28be emotionally bulletproof.
37:30If you listen to it all, it's going to drag you down. So, I mean, you know what's right. So,
37:34you've got to believe in yourself.
37:38And then even further as a female pop artist, don't say anything. Just be pretty and shut up.
37:49But it really did hurt her because she's very musical.
37:54Do you feel like you want to go and smack someone in the mouth?
37:56One of these journalists?
37:57Those days I say, today's newspapers, tomorrow's fish and chips and don't worry about it.
38:02You don't worry about that?
38:03Try not to.
38:07There was a point in time I remember it just all got too much.
38:17I remember her being the moment where I just kind of broke down.
38:25I must have been crying. I must have been in a bit of a state and
38:30I remember in that moment I would have loved to just stay in and not have to go out and
38:36face it and put myself out there.
38:41But that wasn't the conversation that we wanted to hear because our ship is out at sea.
38:47We can't go back to port and say we don't want to be on this bloody ship anymore.
38:52Kylie, come on out here, kid.
38:54We can't change course now.
39:00If you don't want a criticism, you don't read reviews.
39:06And this is the gold album for Coley Minogue.
39:10You just make yourself a move for me.
39:13Kylie has the distinction of being the most successful female artist ever.
39:20I was insecure. I was uncertain.
39:23And when you're a singer with all your emotions in your voice.
39:34Out of 10, how good are you as a singer?
39:38Oh, I couldn't say.
39:40Go on.
39:41Don't be modest.
39:44Five.
39:48I can see it in performances when there's so many voices in my head saying you can't do it.
39:54You just can't do it.
40:01And I think it just sets you back and you question, then you question yourself.
40:06Like, maybe I'm not capable.
40:08Maybe they're right.
40:10I don't feel that Kylie is hugely talented.
40:13She's not original.
40:14She's styled like that.
40:15She's almost a sort of DIY celebrity.
40:17How hollow her particular energy.
40:19Somehow, in being a shape devised for everybody, you yourself become nobody.
40:27This is our room.
40:29It's a nice room, isn't it?
40:32And guess who's in the bathroom?
40:35Wow, it's Kylie Minogue.
40:37It's like, who's that pointing the camera?
40:44When all the criticism came her way about her voice, she struggled.
40:56She really struggled.
41:00And I was like, well, maybe you shouldn't have gone down that route.
41:04Because that's sort of how my attitude was.
41:09Don't look at me like that.
41:12Because her music career at that point had really taken off.
41:15And it, I don't know, it didn't piss me off.
41:19But it was like, um...
41:24Okay.
41:28We'd been this partnership in this show.
41:33So you're jealous?
41:35But that woman gets serious.
41:37Suddenly, I could see she was moving away from her acting.
41:45We have to go to dinner now.
41:49So there was a few arguments.
42:07And also, you know, I had my own ego at that point.
42:11Why isn't this happening to me?
42:12Do you know what I mean?
42:19Until they got on the phone and asked me to do it.
42:21And then it all changed.
42:31I mean, try working me out then at that point.
42:34I don't fucking know.
42:38How do you feel about Jason's record deal?
42:41Well, he's been...
42:43I think he's been working on it, um, for the last few months.
42:53You know, I guess I was frightened.
42:56For some reason, I was going to lose her, you know.
43:00But, um, yeah.
43:05Oh, yeah.
43:09Okay, now we're on to another, another, another thing.
43:26My brother found this.
43:28My ticket from seeing In Excess in Sydney,
43:32which is where I met Michael the first time.
43:36Yeah.
43:51I can describe what Michael's like on stage,
43:54but do yourself a favourite.
43:57Just...
43:59Watch him.
44:18It's not exactly what I mean.
44:20He just was...
44:21He just had it.
44:22He had it.
44:28And I thought at one point,
44:29I'm like, I'm sure Michael looked at me.
44:31I'm sure he looked at me in the audience.
44:44Look, I don't have anything against Michael.
44:51I was a fan.
44:53It was everything probably I really wanted to be at that point,
44:57which is even the irony.
45:01Right now, In Excess are the hottest Australian experts
45:04since Crocodile Dundee.
45:07The latest chapter is lead singer Michael Hutchins'
45:10emergence as a sex symbol.
45:12Do you like Michael Hutchins?
45:13I love him.
45:14Can it be?
45:15How hot?
45:16Very hot.
45:17Hot enough to try and get through his door?
45:19Yes.
45:20Is sex at the heart in what you sell and do?
45:23Yeah, I think so.
45:24I like music that has sex in it.
45:27Do Sensation.
45:38After his gig, Jason and I were invited back to the after party.
45:43Let's go.
45:44I think we were in...
45:47We were in a very small car.
45:49I'd hired this like a Ford Fiesta.
45:52You know, they got into their stretch limo and said,
45:56follow us.
45:57And there's little old me with Kylie,
46:01following this rock god and his entourage.
46:04Two of us in this tiny little crappy little white vehicle to the hotel.
46:11So that's when I met Michael.
46:15We're getting paid 1.4 million pounds for this tonight.
46:19I'm getting five grand.
46:20Five fucking grand.
46:21Five grand.
46:22That'll pay him a fucking champagne bill at the hotel.
46:24Fuck. Fuck!
46:26Did you talk to Michael?
46:28He wasn't interested in me.
46:30Yeah.
46:31I could tell he was focused on her.
46:34Absolutely.
46:34I could sniff that one a mile away.
46:38And she disappeared with him into the bathroom, if I think,
46:42if I remember correctly.
46:44Which is fine.
46:45Um, you know, growing up.
46:52And I would have been feeling a bit like,
46:57how did we get here kind of thing.
47:01And we were talking about singer stuff.
47:07And he said he lived in Hong Kong.
47:11And I was about to go to Hong Kong and Japan and do these live shows.
47:18So I was nervous as hell.
47:21There should be about 40,000 people.
47:24This whole area.
47:26I can't imagine what it would be like full of people, but there will be people in this whole area.
47:34And Michael was telling me about these magical drops, something to help with your vocals.
47:40He was under the guise of, yeah, well, I'll get the stuff for you and kind of take you for
47:46dinner.
47:50Which led to us meeting in Hong Kong.
47:56And he was really late.
48:04I'm interested in somehow maintaining, um, something that I believe in.
48:11That's all.
48:12You know, I just believe in, in the music that we do and what I have to say.
48:17And if I can maintain that through all this, then I'll be very happy.
48:22I mean, I was, I was kind of mesmerized and he was mesmerized.
48:45At that point in time, I didn't have any belief in my voice.
48:49So I would lean to just doing lots of dancing.
48:55And Michael had some advice that stayed with me.
49:00Some stillness is okay on stage actors.
49:02You don't have to be running around all the time.
49:06But you know what we could do is just the effect of stillness would be really good.
49:11Yeah.
49:11And those critical voices for a few moments went away.
49:35It's nice to think of.
49:37It's the best thing that happened to me.
49:41And I'm out of strength for the world to see.
49:46I can't see what you do.
49:49Lay back.
50:08I can tell something wasn't right.
50:18I can tell.
50:19I could smell it.
50:25Hello.
50:28I don't like to be trapped in anything because I enjoy change and I don't want to be hemmed
50:36in or boxed in or defined in a certain way.
50:40You were in my heart.
50:42My love never changed.
50:45I still feel the same.
50:48Especially for you.
50:51The tiny 20-year-old singer has left the enormously successful soap series Neighbours.
50:57I mean, it's a plucky decision to leave Neighbours.
51:00You know I would have flown to you.
51:03Jason and I will always have this undeniable bond, but things are about to change.
51:11There's no need to look at my picture yet.
51:13I'm still here.
51:15Not for long.
51:18Love hurts, mate.
51:28You just know there is a moment.
51:31The minute you don't surprise your audience.
51:33Right.
51:34That's some of that.
51:36You become part of the ether.
51:40That's when you have to come up with something different.
51:42You've had all your hits yet, but oh yeah, it's just Kylie.
51:47What makes it not Kylie?
51:52I don't think I can say any more, to be fucking honest.
51:55Shit, I'll be in therapy tomorrow and just getting over it.
51:58Nooo.
51:58Oh no, I'm joking.
51:59I'm joking.
52:00No, no, I'm joking.
52:02What about your man?
52:04I just left him.
52:09So then, what happened?
52:27Any questions, anybody?
52:56I just left his body.
