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.
04:33Dead or alive, you spin me round.
04:36Banan-a-rama.
04:37Donna Summer.
04:40so I was riddled with self-doubt and anxiety and all those other wonderful things that we love
04:58ready yeah I'm ready where you are quick because I've got to be out of here by three I got
05:06a call
05:06telling me there was a small antipodean in the reception expecting to make a record didn't
05:12even know what an antipodean was you've got to understand I had no idea who this girl was right
05:20I mean we've got Rick Astley the world's biggest artist it was another artist please
05:28so I was waiting around for ages and they'd forgotten I was there
05:37but she had to catch a flight two and a half hours later back to Sydney
05:44I'm asking what are we doing so I just thought let's do it
06:01they 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 and she only had 30 minutes to get to the airport
06:27so somebody said you should be so lucky
06:31I should be so lucky lucky lucky lucky I should be so lucky lucky lucky lucky
06:44I should be so lucky in love
06:49And that was it.
06:51No conversation.
06:52That was it.
06:52She'd gone.
06:53Just gone.
06:56I didn't know if the song was any good or what it meant
06:59or would it even make it.
07:00Who are these guys?
07:01What just happened?
07:07I had no idea that I was about to go over the precipice
07:13into a different world.
07:23Good morning, gang.
07:24This is the Hitman with the latest hits before their hits.
07:28I was on the radio at 9 o'clock in the morning.
07:31Come on, gang.
07:32Keep your feet dancing.
07:33And my producer walked in and saw on the label Kylie Minogue.
07:38He said, it's Kylie Minogue.
07:40Yeah.
07:41No, no, Pete, it's Kylie Minogue.
07:43I went, sorry.
07:45He said, open the mic, tell them they're going to hear
07:49the first Kylie Minogue single.
07:50He said, but only until you hear the first vocal
07:53and then stop it.
07:55I said, what?
07:56He said, do as you told.
07:59Stay tuned, because you may just miss that hit.
08:03And this could be it.
08:08Kylie Minogue doing it.
08:12Close my eye.
08:14The phones went nuts.
08:19All 30 lines lit up instantly.
08:22And you have a switch, can knock all them off.
08:30So I'm knocking the 30 lines out fast and furious
08:33and couldn't stop them.
08:34Now, that's unheard of.
08:36That doesn't happen.
08:38And then I get a call from the BBC.
08:42Is this right you've done a single with Kylie Minogue?
08:45Sorry?
08:47Next thing.
08:48You're doing Top of the Pops.
08:50And what?
08:55I didn't even know what Top of the Pops was.
08:59Bringing it to Top of the Pops once again.
09:01We have Ross in the studio tonight.
09:03Elton John is with us.
09:05Let's go over here now with Kylie Minogue
09:07with I Should Be So Lucky.
09:12Well, this was the biggest television show in Britain.
09:16And I don't know what's going to be like.
09:18I cry.
09:26It was like, what the hell's going on here?
09:30What is this?
09:34Now, you've got to tell me, I had no idea what Neighbours was.
09:53All right.
09:57There's not a day really goes by in my life
10:01where at some point I don't refer back
10:05to those years.
10:07I mean, the amount of times I get into a cab
10:09and someone will go, how's Kylie?
10:12And it's like, oh, fuck, I don't fucking know.
10:16You go and ask fucking her.
10:17And that, you know, it's not the disrespect to her.
10:21It's just, come on, man.
10:23And, you know, that's a long time ago.
10:27What I can remember was sitting in the wardrobe van
10:31on the set of Neighbours,
10:34this little Aussie soap opera.
10:37And this new actor had arrived
10:39and she turned around to me.
10:42It was her first day and said,
10:43do you remember me?
10:46Small world.
10:47My first day ever on a set.
10:49We played brother and sister.
10:52It was just crazy.
10:54Oh, wow.
10:55God, that's right.
10:56But I couldn't remember her.
11:00He's got a big spider.
11:01Do you want to see?
11:03Well, does he bite?
11:04No, not if he likes you.
11:06I can understand why I couldn't.
11:08She had those buck teeth.
11:10So she looked a lot different.
11:12Want to pet him?
11:13Go on.
11:15Suddenly it was like, wow.
11:23He spoke with you.
11:28She talked about you.
11:30Did she?
11:31That's going to be interesting.
11:34My first thing on Neighbours
11:36was with him.
11:38Punching him.
11:42I think that she did actually punch me.
11:46Sorry, Scott.
11:48I don't know what that says about me.
11:53No, you're stuffed, don't you?
11:54Shooting.
11:57When I joined, it wasn't a huge show.
12:01Hi, I'm Jason Donovan.
12:02And I'm Kylie Minogue.
12:03Join us here on Monday night.
12:04On Perth's new Channel 10.
12:07But the producers could see the chemistry
12:10between the two of us.
12:12So we were coupled together in the show.
12:16What's happening this hour?
12:17I'm babysitting Bradley.
12:19Why don't I look after him with you?
12:21I mean, we could do our songs together.
12:22Yeah, okay.
12:31Would you like to try for three broken ribs?
12:35But we were just good friends.
12:41We could understand each other.
12:44And we must have fancied each other as well.
12:47That helps.
12:49You're the last thing I think of before I go to sleep.
12:52And the first thing I think of when I wake up.
12:54I'm serious.
12:56You make me sound like cleaning your teeth.
12:57I mean, um, I don't remember a specific moment.
13:04Kylie and I came together.
13:11Well, I do remember it was in Sydney at the...
13:14..very publicly at the Travel Lodge.
13:19We were just kids.
13:21We were fresh out of high school.
13:23So it was like that kind of sweetheart's romance.
13:27It was art imitating life.
13:30Can I tell you something?
13:33Love you, Scott.
13:34Love you, too.
13:36Promise?
13:38Yeah, I promise.
13:42Or life imitating art.
13:47But we decided to keep the relationship a secret.
13:53Because it would give us a fighting chance.
13:58I'm totally confused.
14:00Are you or are you not just good friends?
14:03Maybe.
14:05Oh, my God!
14:10Did I think we were ever going to get married?
14:14Now I know that you are...
14:17The truth is, yeah.
14:20And have kids and...
14:23..that's the script written and off you go.
14:28Certainly you're feeling me...
14:30I thought it was my destination.
14:33That's the way I am...
14:36It struck a chord with the audience.
14:39Because it was real.
14:42The winner is...
14:44Kylie Minogue.
14:48Neighbours has gone on to become the most successful Australian television series ever produced.
14:54Jason and Kylie have become national heroes.
14:57It became really popular in Australia.
15:00Well, I'm lucky I can reach this microphone.
15:03But maybe not...
15:06...as kind of obsessed and maniacal as it was elsewhere.
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, schoolchildren all over the country were wagging school to watch the programme.
15:36I bunk off school, actually, to watch it, seriously.
15:39It was wild.
15:41We didn't understand.
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.
16:07What do you think it is that makes Neighb is 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.
16:31We were too busy.
16:32We didn't watch television.
16:36It 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.
17:07We 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.
17:25The 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.
17:50Together, hand in hand.
17:52And I'm dreaming for you now.
17:54Let'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.
18:06I should be so lucky enough.
18:09It's a crazy situation.
18:11But 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 more...
18:22Probably more...
18:23Probably more than a few minutes.
18:23Yeah, you too.
18:24Because on radio, there's much more rock and roll, much more male, you're a great artist.
18:33And I'm dreaming that you're in love with me.
18:37It 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.
18:57And I just remember struggling with it all those years ago, thinking, well, what do you mean?
19:02Do you see yourself as a singer and 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, you, surely you can't.
19:31That's, how can you do, it's just, it's just, it's dumb.
19:34How could you do both?
19:37Well, tell that to Dolly and Cher and Barbara and 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?
19:53I want to go to England as soon as I can and record an album.
20:01When 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, she's got to watch my bald spot on that top shot, you know?
20:16They'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.
20:25You 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.
20:42This is really loud.
20:43Me.
20:46We had 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'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?
21:03Light 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.
21:13Here's how it goes.
21:14Sing it, learn 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.
21:34It was like, you're on a flight tonight, let's do it, go.
21:37And head straight back to the set of neighbours again.
21:42Scott 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, that's it.
21:57Most of the songs was written literally as she sang it.
22:01But I was the last to know.
22:06I'd love to say this was well-planned, but it was just on the hoof.
22:11It's no secret.
22:14Good luck, chick.
22:15Charlene.
22:16You can pack your bag and go.
22:19I was having an affair with a French girl,
22:22and she kept using this wonderful expression, je ne sais quoi.
22:26I had no idea what I should have said, what was.
22:28But I went, that's for us.
22:40I decided to pull into Wolverhampton, to Ruby Red Records.
22:44I swear to this, on my life, this is a true story.
22:47The first two kids walked through the door.
22:49Could I have a couple of you?
22:50Je ne sais pas pourquoi, please.
22:52I thought, ka-ching.
22:54I just hit the jackpot.
22:55Which means that Britain has a brand new number one.
23:00Hi, everybody.
23:01You're having a good time.
23:03And the other thing is,
23:05it's still the biggest record Kylie's ever had in France.
23:09Kylie Minogue, vous connaissez?
23:10Well, she's known as Kylie.
23:12Kylie Minogue.
23:14Kylie Minogue.
23:16Elle est actuellement au meilleur place des Iparades Européens.
23:20You're number one in Finland and Germany and Greece.
23:23Great.
23:25I was thrust into doing this photo shoot and that photo shoot
23:29and 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.
23:38Actually, 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?
24:04Yes, sure.
24:04How do you feel about smoking, drinking, drugs and sex,
24:07all these things?
24:08Sure, I could be involved in all that,
24:10but I'm not up a third to stay away from it.
24:17She's selling more records
24:19than any other female recording artist in the world.
24:24600,000 albums sold in Great Britain.
24:27All right, for Kylie!
24:28There's a swift education
24:30as to how the machine works.
24:32Hey, Walshman!
24:33Who else?
24:34Now, Kylie, keeps us.
24:39And I said to her,
24:41this is like a skyrocket.
24:43Hold on the stick,
24:44enjoy every minute of it.
24:46Big round of applause for Kylie!
24:49Because it will come down at some point.
24:54Right, welcome.
24:56Thereby proving Andy Warhol's dictum
24:58that everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.
25:00Well, 15 minutes can be a long time,
25:02especially when you spend it listening
25:04to the work of that Melbourne nightingale,
25:07Kylie Minogue,
25:08who's also here with us today.
25:10All five foot one of her,
25:12alas, only in two dimensions,
25:14but who can tell the difference anyway?
25:17No one wants
25:21endeavour to be
25:23free of effort
25:24or free of challenge.
25:27But
25:31it was a baptism of fire.
25:36What I find so fake
25:38is
25:39I'm just an ordinary person.
25:40I'm just a girl next door.
25:41You can't live next door.
25:43You've missed the point.
25:44She's specially ordinary.
25:50Unexceptional.
25:50Dole banal.
25:55It's a blinding ordinarily.
26:02Heavy criticism.
26:06I remember hearing clangers
26:08that were really public.
26:12I was trying to think of a good word for it.
26:16Being mean.
26:18She's a soap star
26:19who got a record deal
26:20after strength for the fact
26:21that she's very well known.
26:25You no longer have to be interesting
26:27to get to number one.
26:28You can just be a sort of
26:29human crocheted scarf.
26:32It is absolutely awful,
26:34mechanistic,
26:34valueless,
26:35meaningless stuff.
26:36Terrible.
26:38And to be 19 years old
26:41and having to
26:43cop that,
26:45that was unpleasant.
26:48Well, why?
26:49Because, I mean,
26:49she can sing, can't she?
26:51No, she can't sing.
26:59Well, the best one was
27:01if she can't sing.
27:03She can't sing.
27:04I'm sorry, Kylie,
27:04but you can't sing.
27:09One of the terms
27:12used to describe me
27:15The singing budgie.
27:16The singing budgie.
27:21The human part was missing.
27:23It's like,
27:23who are they?
27:24Who are they?
27:26Who decides this is cool?
27:29Some radio stations
27:31refused to play her record
27:33because of what they called
27:34the high irritant factor.
27:37What would happen
27:38if I met them
27:39and I was sat face-to-face
27:40with them and say,
27:42how would you feel
27:43if that was your daughter?
27:45I feel very lucky
27:48staggeringly lucky
28:01And those critical voices
28:03were very different
28:06to the voices
28:08that 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
28:17without any put-downs,
28:19without ever hearing
28:21you can't do this,
28:22you can't do that.
28:23Good evening, everybody.
28:25To a great year.
28:26We were just encouraged
28:27to do what we loved.
28:31And that was music.
28:34It was everything.
28:36And how lucky
28:37we're all together.
28:38We managed
28:39to all be together.
28:41We managed.
28:42We managed to be together
28:43and we managed
28:44to stay together.
28:48My dad was an accountant.
28:51Worked really hard.
28:53But he loved playing music.
28:55He really loves jazz.
28:57He loves, like,
28:58not what I do.
28:59The roses in the window
29:02My mother was a ballerina
29:04when she was a teenager.
29:07Any elegance I have
29:08is from my mother.
29:12And I've always thought,
29:14what kind of shy child?
29:16I wasn't in school plays
29:17or anything, but actually...
29:19Sorry, honey,
29:20if I don't change the pace
29:22I can't believe it's me.
29:27They had three kids
29:28under four.
29:29Three scallywags.
29:32So I was flung
29:33into a music class.
29:35Might have been
29:36because my parents
29:37wanted me out of the house.
29:39But I hated rules.
29:41I hated being boxed in.
29:43Refused to do my grades.
29:46And so my love affair with music
29:49began 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
30:07to record my favourite music.
30:14And I know we're starting
30:15at the beginning,
30:16but if I go to the...
30:18Let's not call it the end.
30:19If we come to the current moment...
30:22I love music even more.
30:26I don't like to be trapped in anything.
30:28I like to have fluidity
30:29and have somewhere to go.
30:34Music, by definition, is moving.
30:39And it can go anywhere.
30:44Within...
30:44I'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,
30:50all the different notes,
30:51it's a moving, living, breathing thing.
30:53And I feel that my being is...
30:56I can relate to that.
30:58It talks to me.
31:03I used to parade around
31:04doing some kind of
31:06imaginary performance in my head.
31:08And I just thought all kids
31:10dreamt of being a pop star.
31:14But I didn't know how
31:16that would ever be a reality.
31:18You've got sort of a musical family
31:19or did you just suddenly decide
31:21you wanted to sing?
31:22Well, my parents aren't musical.
31:23My sister is.
31:24She's actually come with me on this trip.
31:25She here?
31:26Yes, she is.
31:26Has she been on the telly before?
31:28No.
31:28Not 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.
31:35Come in.
31:36Now, I'll tell you what
31:37you 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.
31:51And it was good
31:52until it wasn't good.
31:56And when it wasn't good,
31:59it was like a war zone.
32:02At one point,
32:03there was sticky tape
32:04drawn down the middle of the room.
32:08That's your side
32:09and that's your side
32:10and you cannot cross it.
32:11If a piece of clothing
32:12was borrowed,
32:14all hell could break loose.
32:18But when I was seven,
32:21I saw the movie Grease.
32:25There was something about Olivia Newton-John
32:27and that spirit,
32:29that energy.
32:31It does something to me.
32:35I just remember looking at her thinking,
32:37I don't know what it is that she does,
32:39but I want to do that.
32:41But, you know.
32:43I wanted to be Olivia Newton-John.
32:48Kylie and I both wanted to perform.
32:52Mum and Dad didn't know much about it,
32:54but we pestered them
32:56until they broke.
33:00Mum had a great idea
33:01of finding an agent
33:03just to shut us up.
33:06Because she's like,
33:09nothing's going to happen from this.
33:15Rosie cheeks and turned up nose
33:17and curly hair
33:20My sister Dani
33:21got a part on the TV show
33:23called Young Talents Home,
33:25which is kind of like
33:26the Mickey Mouse Club.
33:27Hello, Australia,
33:28and welcome to our really big one.
33:30So come on, get up,
33:31and here we go.
33:38But I was not the cutest.
33:41Come on, Barton.
33:42So I got an acting job.
33:45Police men came and took my mum and papa away.
33:47Now I'm here,
33:48and you will save me.
33:51It wasn't very good,
33:52but 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,
34:12isn'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,
34:27is one of the stars of a new Australian series.
34:29Are you proud of your sister over here?
34:31Of course I am.
34:32Are you proud of your sister over there?
34:33Of course I am.
34:33Well, we're proud of both of you.
34:34The Minogue girls.
34:35But I didn't have the acting dream.
34:39I was harbouring this fantasy
34:43of making music.
34:48Cos there's something we forgot to say to you.
34:51It ain't this girl.
34:54When it's all damn sales.
34:56Do you need some quiet to concentrate?
35:00Always so dramatic.
35:04But...
35:05So remember,
35:07Johnny only wants us to sing the show this week.
35:11There's my cable.
35:12Sorry.
35:13And remember the song?
35:15Sisters are doing it for themselves.
35:17All right.
35:17That's my sister Kylie.
35:19She's always in a hurry.
35:20She plays part of Charlene and your neighbours.
35:23The little money that I made
35:24I used for singing lessons.
35:28Three, two, one, go!
35:44And I was nervous as hell.
35:51But young enough to just go for it.
36:01Not long after that,
36:02the guy who produced your music show
36:04came to me and said,
36:06oh, you should make a record.
36:10Like, my world became special effects.
36:14Sisters are doing it for themselves
36:20Standing on their own two feet
36:22And drinking on their own two feet
36:26Like, someone's said that to me.
36:31Sisters are doing it for themselves
36:38Come away from the paper.
36:40Smiley.
36:41Smiley.
36:42Smiley.
36:42She's been the butt of a fair bit of cynicism
36:44by media in London
36:46and the papers over there
36:47really did give her a bit of a pasting like...
36:50Smiley.
36:51Smiley.
36:51Smiley.
36:53She looked like
36:54She slept in Qantas' blanket.
36:57Yeah.
36:58And another thing,
36:58she looked like she got off the plane
37:00in a kangaroo's pouch.
37:02I mean, they really gave her some.
37:04Yeah, they get very nasty at times
37:06and it's not nice.
37:10It was crushing to hear
37:14stuff that you never say now
37:19and get away with it.
37:23But everyone thought it was OK,
37:25and if you'd signed up to be a pop star,
37:27then you're meant to be emotionally bulletproof.
37:30If you listen to it all, it's going to drag you down.
37:32So, I mean, you know what's right,
37:34so you've got to believe in yourself.
37:38And then even further, as a female pop artist,
37:41don't say anything, just be pretty and shut up.
37:49But it really did hurt her,
37:51because 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,
37:59today's newspaper's tomorrow's fish and chips,
38:01and 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...
38:10it just all got too much.
38:13I don't know.
38:14I'll tell you that grandma.
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,
38:28and I remember in that moment I would have loved to just stay in,
38:33and not have to go out and face it and put myself out there.
38:41But that wasn't the conversation that we wanted to hear,
38:45because 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.
38:57Come on down!
39:00If you don't want a criticism,
39:03you don't read reviews.
39:07And this is the gold album for Kylie Minogue.
39:10You just make yourself a move from it.
39:13Kylie has the distinction of being the most successful female artist ever.
39:20I was insecure.
39:22I was uncertain.
39:23And when you're a singer, with all your emotions in your voice...
39:28I've got to be, got to be certain, I've got to be so sure...
39:35Out of ten, how good are you as a singer?
39:38Uh... Oh, I couldn't say.
39:40Go on, go.
39:41Don't be modest.
39:43Um...
39:44Five.
39:48I can see it in performances when there's so many voices in my head saying,
39:53you can't do it.
39:54You just can't do it.
40:01And I think it just sets you back and you question...
40:05It's like, 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 things out.
40:15She's almost a sort of DIY celebrity.
40:17How hollow her particular energy...
40:19Somehow, in being a shape devised for everybody,
40:22you 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.
40:36It's Kylie Knight.
40:38Who's that pointing the camera?
40:44When all the criticism came her way about her voice,
40:50she 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.
41:11Because her music career at that point had really taken off.
41:16And it...
41:17I don't know, it didn't piss me off.
41:19But it was like, um...
41:24OK.
41:26See you in the locker room.
41:28We'd been this partnership in this show.
41:33So you're jealous?
41:35Well, that gets serious.
41:36Suddenly, I could see she was moving away from her acting.
41:45We have to go to dinner now.
41:48Come on.
41:48Yes, we go.
41:49So there was a few arguments.
41:53That's Kylie getting all shitty.
41:55Little boss moss.
42:00Come on.
42:01I'm coming.
42:08And also, you know, I had my own ego at that point.
42:11Why isn't this happening to me?
42:13Do you know what I mean?
42:19Until they got on the phone and asked me to do it,
42:21and then it all changed.
42:30I mean, try working me out, then, at that point.
42:34I don't fucking know.
42:35I made you have your doubts about me.
42:39How do you feel about Jason's record deal?
42:41Well, he's been...
42:43I think he's been working on it for the last few months.
42:48With love to guide us, nothing can divide us.
42:53You know, I guess I was frightened for some reason
42:57that I was going to lose her, you know?
43:01But, um...
43:02Yeah.
43:09OK, now we're on to another...
43:11..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.
43:52I can describe what Michael's like on stage,
43:55but do yourself a favour at...
43:58..just...
43:58..watch 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, I'm like,
44:30I'm sure Michael looked at me.
44:31I'm sure he looked at me in the audience.
44:33I'm the man of the...
44:36Excess in...
44:37...in the fifth big grand mill.
44:44Look, I don't have anything against Michael.
44:47It's going to take all your life.
44:51I was a fan.
44:53It was everything, probably, I really wanted to be at that point,
44:56which 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,
45:09Michael Hutchins' emergence as a sex symbol.
45:12Do you like Michael Hutchins?
45:13I love him!
45:14Get her name?
45:15How hot?
45:16Very hot!
45:16Hot!
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.
45:38After 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 following this rock god
46:03and his entourage.
46:04Two of us in his tiny little crappy little white vehicle to the hotel.
46:11So that's when I met Michael.
46:15We're getting to pay 1.4 million pounds for this tonight.
46:19I'm getting five grand.
46:20Five fucking grand.
46:22Five grand.
46:22That'll pay him a fucking champagne bill at the hotel.
46:25Fuck!
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.
46:35I could sniff that one a mile away.
46:36And she disappeared with him into the bathroom, if I think...
46:42If I remember correctly, which is fine.
46:46Um, you know, growing up.
46:50And...
46:52And I would have been feeling a bit like...
46:56How I...
46:57How did we get here, kind of thing.
47:01And...
47:02We 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.
47:15I hadn't really done 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.
47:28But there will be people in this whole area.
47:34And Michael was telling me about these magical drops.
47:38Something to help with your vocals.
47:40He was under the guise of,
47:42Yeah, well, I'll get the stuff for you and kind of take you for dinner.
47:50Which led to us meeting in Hong Kong.
47:56And he was really late.
48:04I'm interested in somehow maintaining something that I believe in.
48:11That's all.
48:12You know, I just believe in the music that we do.
48:16And what I have to say.
48:18And if I can maintain that through all this,
48:20then I'll be very happy.
48:22I mean, I was...
48:26I was kind of mesmerised.
48:27And he was mesmerised.
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...
49:09The effect of stillness would be really good.
49:11Yeah.
49:12The first day, it's just all standing there really straight.
49:14Yeah.
49:26And those critical voices, for a few moments, went away.
49:35It's nice to think of.
49:36It's the bad thing that happened to me.
49:40And I'm not ashamed for the world to see.
49:46But that's what you do.
49:49Layback.
49:52All I ever did.
49:56All I ever did.
50:00My life is strong today.
50:08I could tell something wasn't right.
50:18I could tell.
50:19I could smell it.
50:25Hello.
50:28I don't like to be trapped in anything.
50:31Because I enjoy change and I don't want to be hemmed in or boxed in or defined in a certain
50:39way.
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.
50:56I mean, it's a plucky decision to leave neighbours.
51:03Jason and I will always have this undeniable bond.
51:07But things are about to change.
51:11There's no need to look at my picture yet.
51:13I'm still here.
51:15Look 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.
51:41You've had all your hits, yeah.
51:43But, oh, oh, yeah, it's just Kylie.
51:47What makes it not Kylie?
51:49Forget the loneliness and the sorrow.
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 home.
51:58No.
51:58Oh, no, I'm joking. I'm joking.
52:00No, no, I'm joking. I'm joking.
52:02What about your man?
52:04I just left Kim.
52:06I just left Kim.
52:09So then what happened?
52:27Any questions, anybody?
52:30Yeah.
52:36No?
