00:23Carly Minogue has been showing off the new man.
00:26In excess lead singer Michael Hutchence, the couple at last going public with their romance.
00:33There was concern from my team, they thought uh oh, uh oh.
00:42She's too cute and good for him and he's too bad and hot for her.
00:48Yeah well I think people are going to be a bit shocked.
00:54Carly Minogue has come out and said that she has never used hard drugs.
00:59Do you ever try and tempt her to do anything harder?
01:03What were the nights out like?
01:06It was fun.
01:08What do I have to do to get the message through?
01:14No, she can do what she wants, I've never told anybody to do anything, she's on a real
01:18high herself, she doesn't need anything.
01:21How much fun?
01:23It's a lot of fun.
01:24Fun.
01:28According to some newspapers, I read you've discovered sex.
01:32Would you like me to comment further on that?
01:34Yes I would.
01:34Yes I would.
01:35Um, well, no I can't, sorry.
01:38What are you trying to get to?
01:41How devilish was I?
01:47What do I have to do to get the message through?
01:53Let's get your sister out of the way very quickly.
01:55Is she in love?
01:56She was this sexy rock god that men and women just went, ugh.
02:04She just oozed confidence and confidence is sexy.
02:12In her world back then, confidence was just everything.
02:16How can I do that I really love you, love you, love you, love you, love you.
02:20But I remember, it was just like she'd fallen head over heels, that's for sure.
02:39I'm gonna love you.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Okay, it's okay.
02:44We are now on the Orient Express on June 26th.
02:49This is an American couple filming this young Australian couple who are here to have a great
02:55time.
02:55Come on.
02:56You're on the air.
02:58Yes, he was this wild guy.
03:02But his intention was good, even if we weren't being so good.
03:07Everything was done with a lot of love.
03:12They've drunk all the champagne.
03:14Oh my God.
03:15Cut.
03:16Cut.
03:17Cut.
03:18I had so many firsts with him.
03:21Hi.
03:23Hi.
03:23I never felt like I had blinkers on, but he took them off.
03:38I was at the perfect age.
03:40I was 21 years old.
03:47That's nice.
03:57That's nice.
04:00He was hilarious.
04:07And cultured.
04:09And tender.
04:14I love seeing the ones that are, that's not the shot, the moments around the shot.
04:26I just felt like I had my person there.
04:31I really did.
04:33Movie star.
04:35Movie star.
04:37Movie star in Italy.
04:37In Italy.
04:38You can see in any pictures from then as well.
04:46Maybe life wasn't going so fast for a second.
04:50Because I remember all of it.
04:53Like being on that boat in Hong Kong with that feeling of promise.
05:01I felt like a jewel.
05:03If you dropped it, it would smash.
05:05But if you protected it, it could shine.
05:16Are you going to marry him?
05:18It would be nice to be proposed to, but I don't know.
05:21We'll have to see.
05:32At the time I got in to see NXS recording in the studio.
05:38And I loved it.
05:42I loved being in amongst that.
05:45I felt like I'd discovered a tribe.
05:49Thought it was amazing to see them write songs together.
05:52And have ownership over the end result.
05:56You know, we're pretty much equal.
05:58We tend to discuss things.
06:00I'll say, I think this.
06:01And if they all go, oh yeah, we agree with that, then we'll go into songs.
06:06It must be that way.
06:08You have to be true yourself.
06:11Then it was like a light bulb.
06:18I wanted to express myself more.
06:21And I just hadn't had that before.
06:31I knew this was the turning point.
06:36She had a rock star boyfriend.
06:39Michael gave her the confidence to be confident.
06:43Whatever I did, I knew she wasn't going to like.
06:46Remember the old days.
06:50Remember the old days.
06:51Snare drumming.
06:54Bit of guitar.
06:57Bit more guitar.
06:59Here's a hi-hat.
07:02I'd started making noise.
07:06I've got an idea.
07:07I mean, what about this and what about that?
07:09We had not time to discuss anything.
07:11Because we're, you know, we didn't have the time.
07:16I became really frustrated.
07:18It felt like fighting against the system.
07:22I know I've had 15 number ones.
07:25I know we've had 142 top 20s.
07:29I mean, I've lost count.
07:30I wanted to explore different ideas, be open to change.
07:36That's not what the public want.
07:37That's not what the public want.
07:38The public want I should be so lucky.
07:42Oh, well, um, I'm just tired of playing it so safe.
07:49And I should be allowed to speak.
07:51I should be allowed to have some input.
07:54Just to be able to have something to do with my work, you know.
07:59Not just be the face for it.
08:00Me.
08:02Me.
08:04Me.
08:05Me.
08:06Me.
08:07Me.
08:07It's like someone was strangling any creativity that I had.
08:14And by being forced to be quiet, shut up and listen, I learnt a lot that way.
08:23And so things don't change.
08:27I won't be here anymore.
08:33Unless I could have things my way.
08:38Listen, I have two daughters.
08:41And at some point, the old man don't know as much as they do.
08:48That's called growing up.
08:51I didn't used to be able to say no.
08:54You do now.
08:55I certainly do now.
08:57Yeah, I do.
09:05I was reclaiming my sense of self.
09:13And that's when I discovered that there were many more Kylie's out there.
09:30I think my manager had said, there's a Kylie Knight, and I'd never heard of a Kylie Knight.
09:39I'm like, what?
09:47I'm like, what?
09:51There's drag performers dressed as you.
09:54Do you want to go?
09:56Yeah.
09:56Yeah.
09:57Do you want to go?
09:59There.
09:59Do you want to go in?
10:01Yeah.
10:01It's going down to tear.
10:02Whoa!
10:05Whoa!
10:09Like supersonic versions of me.
10:17And this was a time when it was in to really not like me.
10:26And I ended up on stage at this drag bar.
10:30And I felt like the least Kylie there.
10:33Yeah, I thought I'd go step it up.
10:35I gotta get some lashes on and some eyeliner or something.
10:43Pete Waterman had been badgered sufficiently to go,
10:46all right, kid, what do you want?
10:49What kind of music do you want to make?
10:50And I think that might be the first time he really asked me that.
10:54I just had hardly enough.
10:58She was going to clubs.
11:01She's now part of that whole club scene.
11:06If you're in that, you're going to want your records to sound like that.
11:14Why do you think it suits people to portray you as some kind of bimbo?
11:18Because it's easy and then I'm not a threat to them.
11:21There's something pretty remarkable about young Kylie Minogue.
11:26Gossip columnists write her off as the singing budgie.
11:30Well, the budgie's feathers are ruffled.
11:33Monday, 29 jam, 10.30 sharp.
11:36I remember that gig.
11:41We caught ourselves singing budgies.
11:46I remember what I was wearing.
11:48My amazing shiny tights that I was obsessed with.
11:54I remember Michael being smacked bang in the middle of the crowd.
11:59Kylie's got this real sweet, innocent image.
12:03Kylie's really not the person that people think she is.
12:06And there's a lot of strength.
12:08Singing budgie, you know, it's a horrible title.
12:11Whoever wrote that is probably fat and bald and 50 years old, but they look 70 and they've
12:16got bad breath and can't control themselves.
12:20And they're probably jealous.
12:25We've gone from I should be so lucky to Kylie the diva in one foul swoop.
12:33She wanted to see the video makers.
12:36She wanted her own stylists.
12:37The guys that we've worked with here for years, she just went, I'm not working with
12:41those guys anymore.
12:43Whether it's stylists or photographers or whoever, I'm working with them rather than
12:50just being force fed their ideas.
12:56I was running from the 80s, the sheen of it, the era of it, the puppeteering or the having
13:04no substance.
13:06And as soon as I had my image in my little grasp, by God, I turned into a lunatic.
13:15And falling free, I can't believe that you are really mine, because I'm shocked by the
13:22power.
13:23Oh, oh, I'm shocked by the power.
13:26Those two bars that we heard there, the first time, anybody's heard your new single in this
13:31country.
13:31And a videotaped together with you.
13:32Well, yeah, that's being sent over tomorrow, actually, and it's quite different.
13:37Oh, my God.
13:38Oh, my God.
13:39Oh, my God.
13:40This is it.
13:41This is the moment.
13:44Holy Mary, Mother of God.
13:48I guess I was taking the power back.
13:57Yeah, just saying, all right, let's go.
14:02Oh, my God.
14:05Oh, my God.
14:06Oh, my God.
14:06The press are going to ban it.
14:08I think it's going to be banned.
14:09I know it's going to...
14:10Terry.
14:10You're going to hate it.
14:12Mum?
14:13What's your dad going to say?
14:17It's going to be banned.
14:25Carly Minogue and the squeaky clean next door neighbour kicks off her tour tonight.
14:30She'll be putting her new look and new sound through their paces.
14:34There we go.
14:35There we go.
14:36Right, right, right.
14:40What can the fans expect?
14:42It's lots of fun.
14:43It's just an hour and a half of letting go and just enjoying themselves.
14:48The papers in England have been saying your show's raunchier this time.
14:51Is that right?
14:52Well, they've gone a little extreme.
14:55It's not an X-rated show or anything.
14:59Is that when I was wearing, like, really raunchy outfits?
15:09She couldn't have picked a worse thing to do.
15:13Kylie arrived by coach in Dublin after a four-hour journey from Belfast.
15:19It's great to finally be here.
15:21There's been a lot of talk about a changing image for Kylie Minogue.
15:24Yeah, I saw that in the paper today.
15:26Nice hair to Yvonne.
15:28Yeah.
15:35So what can people expect when they come to see you?
15:44Well, lots of choreography, fabulous costumes.
15:48My outfits have been designed by John Galliano.
15:51After checking her out, seeing how she danced, how she moved,
15:54getting to know her personality,
15:56I went away and did some drawings.
15:59So her first outfit was very inspired by Lolita.
16:06And it's worn over a frilly bra and a bodyslip with built-in knickers.
16:15Everybody's going, no, no, no.
16:17Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
16:19This is Kylie's wish.
16:21Ready? Five, six, seven, eight.
16:25This is what she wants to do.
16:28Hi!
16:29Hi!
16:31Are you on a bomb? That's it. Gills, wiggly, wiggly.
16:34She's got to find out for herself.
16:38I don't want people to know what to expect, Ashley.
16:40I want them to come with an open mind.
16:46And she was thinking about her own business.
16:48That's okay, Rich, he knows what he's got.
17:01Yeah, it was...
17:02We went a bit far.
17:03I'm not gonna lie.
17:04We went a bit far.
17:11But she did not have to be an open mind.
17:12She was thinking about it.
17:12But this is the first one that was designed to play.
17:12I mean I'm good. Maybe it was good in real, but it didn't look good in a freeze frame
17:21I'm gonna defend it with that
17:28Does that help I think it does help
17:36But I know what you're gonna cut to
17:41Now our next guest shocked her young fans by strutting across the stage in some of this ghetto
17:46I don't have to describe it too much. Kylie. Good morning. Hi. How are you? I'm very well
17:50How do you how do you react? I mean you did you read all the criticism or did you throw
17:55most of it away?
17:56I saw some of it
18:01They say that you look a bit like Madonna now or you're trying to model yourself
18:05Well, when we're saying they we're talking about tabloid prayer that was tricky to defend those decisions
18:19With your new tour in it there is such controversy. Yeah, I'm a bit surprised
18:28She kind of went too far prancing around the Dublin stage in lingerie she went from the girl next door
18:36She's been around the block
18:39She's been around the block
18:39It's much raunchier than it was. Yes. I mean, I don't really like to call myself raunchy
18:44We've just seen that your raunchy new video that and then you raunchy image. It's certainly fairly raw isn't it
18:50raw
18:52Well, raw as in as in raunchy I mean
18:56You know there was a time when you thought or you said you were raunchier than your sister
19:00She's changed the image hasn't she?
19:02Yeah, she has lately
19:03I remember thinking this is so boring
19:11Repetitive
19:14Stupid
19:15To hear that Kylie Minogue is too sexy is a bit like hearing that Mary Poppins has turned into a
19:20hooker
19:23I mean imagine you just show up to work every day and you just
19:30There's even been speculation in Australia that you've had a boob job
19:35Oh dear
19:37One magazine even went as far as showing before and after shots
19:44It's exhausting
19:48It's exhausting
19:49And then as a female pop artist
19:51If you say something
19:53You're a bitch, you've got an ego, you're a diva
19:57Any motor accompanying?
20:00No, well, you know if you're going to interview me having researched tabloid newspapers
20:06There's no point talking to me because I didn't see loads of mothers storming out with their children
20:11And if you're a guy and you say shut up that's not true people go fair enough he's right
20:17One mother so I get questioned god. Well, you know parents were storming out with the kids. It's rubbish
20:26I am disappointed at the moment because I'm not trying to I'm trying to be myself
20:34But whenever the going got tough I had that love and support from Michael
20:42In excess is the first non-american group to land six consecutive top ten hits in the Hot 100 since
20:50Culture Club in 1983-84
20:53Wow
20:54Really?
20:57But Michael was touring all over the world
21:01So it became really hard for us to see each other
21:14So I would send video messages to him
21:20Is it telling you it's low light?
21:23One, two, three
21:25Hi, he sends the light to Michael
21:36I think of another message she gave you very shortly
21:42But it just became more and more difficult
21:45Are you still in love with Kylie?
21:48I can't
21:49Jeff
21:52Don't ask me because that's no it's too private you know
21:55At the very least we're very good friends you know and always will be
21:59Yeah
22:00It's not you know and at the very best
22:03He knows
22:05He knows
22:11He was the first in so many ways
22:13Two worlds collided
22:17And they could never tear us apart
22:21And one of those first was a heartbreak
22:31I was devastated
22:34We could live
22:38He was a rock star
22:40Which doesn't just mean
22:43That he needs to have many women in his life
22:45But he needed to go where he needed to go
22:53But I know from people in his circle
22:57That he talked of me and thought of me
23:06We were good together
23:11Shoulda, woulda, coulda, whatever
23:13You know you go on and live your lives
23:17But it was definitely an amazing point in time
23:22And I've probably been looking for something like that ever since
23:25So I haven't got it
23:30Really?
23:32Yeah
23:33Can I ask, when you think of him today
23:37How does it make you feel?
23:43Good, even if I'm getting teary
23:45Because it's just, it's like
23:47It was all good
23:50Yeah
23:51But to have
23:54Someone that you really felt like you were a good team
23:58Yeah
24:02Anyway, we've got to go past that
24:09I didn't know where to go, what to do
24:12And I didn't want to be in London
24:14I didn't want to be in Australia
24:16And so
24:18I went to Paris
24:21I remember having a tiny English to French dictionary
24:27I didn't know anyone there
24:29But I had two phone numbers
24:32Scratched on a bit of paper
24:34And one of those numbers was
24:35A friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of mine
24:44And
24:47She lived with a girl called Kat
24:50My best, oldest girlfriend, Katarina Jeb, whose apartment we're in
24:57Kat doesn't like to be in front of a camera
24:59I'm out of here
25:00Ah, tout à l'heure
25:01Tell me if you need anything
25:02Okay
25:05I'll wail
25:05But she is an amazing photographer
25:08With an incredible eye
25:10And heart
25:12Corners
25:13Corners and corners
25:14And more corners
25:16And we say corners
25:18Love from all corners
25:22Kat Jeb Prince
25:24What do we have here?
25:25Paris
25:30I moved myself into her apartment
25:32I got a sleeping bag
25:34I slept on the sofa
25:37I was feeling heartbroken
25:40And was escaping my feelings
25:44But we would do photo sessions
25:50Just the two of us
25:52Just the two of us
25:53I didn't know who she was
25:55Because my exposure to pop culture
25:58Was not very voluminous
26:02But it was an instantaneous understanding
26:09Going for it?
26:11I don't know
26:14I've been the subject pretty much my entire life
26:19But this was different
26:23We're not doing it because someone's asked for it
26:27We're doing it because we want to do it
26:31The public persona versus the private persona
26:35How many people can unveil themselves completely unfiltered?
26:42I'd been doing very dark lashes and kind of bouffant
26:46And it was Kat who said to me
26:48What about you just let your hair
26:51Just let the curls out
26:52Or maybe less of the brows
26:54And then I went like to nothing
26:59Even though a photograph can capture a moment
27:01Can capture a story
27:02It's really hard to see yourself
27:05There's these cameras
27:07There's a wall
27:08You see through it
27:10You can't see it
27:11But there's a divide
27:15And I felt with hers
27:17The invisible wall
27:19Was gone
27:22And I was looking through Kat's photographs
27:25And I thought, wow, I can see me
27:29She was a real saviour to me
27:32I started to feel good and confident
27:35As a woman on my own
27:42She has called it the end of an era
27:43And they have refused to comment
27:45But Kylie Minogue's relationship with Pete Waterman Limited
27:48Her record company of five years
27:50Has ended
27:52Kylie told MTV News that PWL found it hard to accept the changes
27:57To be honest, I wasn't sad
28:00And I remember, honestly, I'm not telling this
28:02I had to sit with the staff here
28:04And explain that at some point
28:07You left home from your mum and dad
28:09Well, this is Kylie
28:11Leaving home from my mum and dad
28:13And making it on her own
28:14That's all it is
28:15And that's part of growing up
28:18You know, so
28:26We've come to an end
28:28Things do come to an end, you know
28:35I signed to Deconstruction Records
28:40They had a very independent feel
28:43Kylie, how do you do a Rest in Mutual?
28:47They were open to experimentation
28:51And wanted me to be much more involved
28:57And we talked about a very different vocal delivery
29:02We all get hurt by love
29:06And we all have a cross to bear
29:11I hadn't done those kind of notes before
29:14But it was like, feel the fear and do it anyway
29:17Problems should be shared
29:25I've never done anything like that
29:27I've never done anything like that
29:35Kylie Minogue returns to the pop scene this week
29:39With a new record and a new sound
29:48The new album Kylie Minogue has widely been greeted as, you know, your bid to become treated as a serious
29:53artist through the first place. Is that how you see it?
30:01Um...
30:02I can use whatever language I like
30:16If Kylie Minogue represents the Australian dream, then Nick Cave is surely the Australian nightmare
30:27Attracting a cult following with his twisted lyrics and darkly wasted image
30:32All right, go all the way down to the end
30:38I think, I think, I think those songs are written with a fair amount of disgust for things, yeah?
30:44I think, I think those songs are written with a fair amount of disgust for things, yeah?
31:05Whenever I saw her on the TV, there was something about her that I liked
31:11But, you know, I didn't sit around and listen to her records or anything
31:15I wasn't like a fan fan
31:19But there was something that I recognised in her that I responded to
31:33There was a strange thing with Kylie because even though she had mass appeal
31:38You know, she had everything
31:40But credibility
31:42And I looked at her
31:44Because
31:46I had credibility
31:47But not much else
31:57At that time, I was writing a bunch of murder songs
32:01So I had a kind of audacious idea
32:05For Kylie Minogue to do a murder ballad
32:10Yeah, hello
32:12But there was terrible opposition
32:14From management and so forth
32:16That this is just a fucked up idea
32:18Which it was
32:20This is cool
32:23Storyboard for where the wild roses grow
32:26This is so cool
32:28Nick observes Kylie's face and body in water
32:32I was a well-known sort of drug addict
32:35Close-up angle static, Kylie lays in water, tear on cheek
32:38Flies possibly buzz around face
32:40And the nature of the song was dubious
32:44Close-up static, Nick reaches for rock
32:47Again
32:50Yeah, I mean, that's always been close to my heart
32:53Nick reached out
32:54And I was like
32:58Who? Like, huh?
33:00I was not the demographic of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
33:04Fan club
33:05But there is an Australian thing
33:08They just do shit, right?
33:10They just do stuff
33:11And they don't think about it too much
33:13They just give stuff a shot, you know
33:16And she's like, yeah, okay
33:19And...
33:19I was... I was naive
33:22I didn't know
33:26We were waiting for her to come into the studio
33:32I don't think anyone had met Kylie before
33:37And the Bad Seeds
33:39And the Bad Seeds
33:39We were a dark force
33:43This group of weird, fucked up, sort of broken men
33:49And a lot of drugs
33:50And a contemptuous, pessimistic view of the world
33:57But when she came into the studio
34:01She was like this sort of beam of light
34:09With this incredible positivity
34:15I don't think we'd ever met anyone in our lives really that liked life
34:24Just this sort of bold
34:27Brightness
34:29And we were really terrified
34:31Or offered to some degree
34:35On the first day I saw her
34:37I knew she was...
34:39And when she went to record
34:40She sang in a kind of Kylie-esque, trained
34:46Lot of vocal tricks, I guess
34:48And we were like, look, forget all that
34:52Just sing it straight
34:54When he knocked on my door
34:56And entered the room
34:59Sing it less, like almost make it a story
35:05And be a character
35:06With a careful hand
35:08He wiped out the tears
35:10And she just did this version of it
35:12That so beautifully haunted the whole thing
35:15They call me the Wild Role
35:19We were just...
35:21Staggered
35:22But my name's Eliza Day
35:26Why they call me that I do not know
35:33Good evening, and we have something very special for you tonight
35:36On Top of the Pops
35:39I remember doing Top of the Pops
35:42I think you can see by the performance
35:44I don't know what's going on
35:48I'm just sort of bumbling around
35:49You know, the people that turned up to my concerts were psychos
35:56We would be taking iron bars and scissors and knives
36:00Off people in the front row
36:01So I know about a dangerous audience
36:05But I've never experienced anything like Kylie Minogue's
36:12Audience
36:13They were terrifying
36:17Just these sort of monstrous, awful teenage girls
36:23They did not like me
36:26They did not like me to go near their princess
36:29Well, Nick gets worried that my fans didn't like him or didn't like the project
36:35I don't think that's so
36:38And these little girls say
36:39You fucking old bastard
36:41What are you doing?
36:42You horrible old cunt
36:44They were just evil
36:47So I couldn't help but throw my arms around Kylie
36:52And they're just running their fingers across their throats
36:56And saying, just don't
36:58And then they'd turn the cameras towards them
37:00And they'd all be like, hey
37:04Kylie with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
37:06Right, well done
37:08Evil, evil people
37:14I'm a hell of a lot better for seeing you
37:17Did you read about us in the paper?
37:19No
37:20Um
37:22Apparently we're snogging
37:24And?
37:28More snogging than singing
37:31Was the thing
37:33Our worlds collided
37:35But it was like another kind of
37:38Love
37:44I'm gonna sound like I'm just like falling in love all the time
37:46But it was really
37:49Um
37:52Some kind of union
37:54That wasn't romantic
37:58I think we recognised
38:00A vulnerability
38:02In each other
38:04That we were sort of
38:05I think at that time
38:07Trying to
38:09Escape
38:11I was locked into a kind of lifestyle
38:14That was becoming increasingly problematic
38:19I was Kylie
38:22I could see the world
38:27In a positive way
38:33Thank you
38:34Thank you
38:34I'd like to invite now
38:35Miss Kylie Minogue to come up here
38:41And I think she wanted to
38:43Break free from
38:45The sort of constraints that she thought she was imprisoned by
38:54The prisoner of an image
38:58That she was a sort of
39:00Brainless
39:01Pop
39:03Pablum
39:03You know
39:04Mush
39:05But she had
39:07Things to say
39:09Particularly with the lyrics
39:10It's like the most important thing you can do really
39:13And if you're writing your own lyrics
39:15You don't have other people's thoughts coming out of your mouth
39:18Sort of defining yourself in a way
39:20You don't have
39:20Nick Cave says to me
39:23Where are your lyrics?
39:26Not really fully fleshed songwriting yet
39:29If you feel things then you're able to write them
39:32So I hope you do that Kylie
39:35You know what I did find?
39:37Lyrics
39:40I remember trying to write something
39:42That would talk to me
39:46I wanted to be your lonesome cowboy
39:48I wanted to love you till it hurt
39:49By the way
39:51That was a lyric
39:52That's not my writing
39:53Someone else's written in my book
39:55She wanted to be stopped in time suspended
39:56It was the best ever night of it
39:58And I said that
39:59Obviously didn't make it
40:00I mean
40:02It's really terrible
40:03This is going to sound really terrible when I say it out loud
40:07You just can't wait can you?
40:09Who would have thought
40:10That little girl
40:12Would end up living out her wildest dreams
40:15Sometimes it sounds really not so great saying it
40:18There's a lot of absolute tosh in here
40:21There's got to be something in here
40:24Ha!
40:25I wanted to sometimes be
40:28Irresponsible
40:29I wanted to own the choice I made
40:32Quite revealing
40:34In what way?
40:37It's not self explanatory
40:39It's not very revealing at all
40:44But then I caught something from the creative ether
40:47Got up in this house
40:49Drapped my very old self
40:50In the snare of mine
40:51It felt like
40:53A fire
40:55Was just like coming out of me
40:57Oh gosh
41:00It was like contained
41:03Rage
41:07I wanted to find a way to put an end to all of my destruction
41:11I wanted to know what I was worth
41:14She really was
41:15She, I
41:16I was just really in it
41:23I wasn't separate to the song
41:25Well I would make it slower
41:27And shorter
41:31I really wanted to be more than one facet
41:35I have so many characters lurking in my body
41:38It's frightening
41:40I'm possessed
41:45It was much more on the edge
41:49I was very on the edge, clearly
41:52I didn't want to say it
41:55What do you mean?
41:56Tell me too much, too hard
41:59Her new album
42:01Two years in the making
42:03Tell me too
42:04Let's get this lady out here
42:05The impossible princess herself
42:07Ladies and gentlemen
42:07Carly Manon
42:10Have you totally disown those really early songs now?
42:14I've actually not been able to say I should be so lucky in so many years
42:18And in a way it was a slight exorcist
42:22There was an honesty and a purity and a
42:26I'm just putting it all out there
42:28It's definitely the most personal work I've ever done
42:33Is that more nerve-wracking when it goes out?
42:36Yeah, scary
42:41And then I saw a billboard
42:43You don't know about the billboard
42:47There was a billboard that said
42:50We've decided what to do with Kylie's music
42:54Don't play it
42:56Boom!
43:00A royal slap
43:02Quick test for sound, you alright?
43:04Yeah, go on
43:04One, two, three, four, five
43:05Hello, here we are at Tower Records
43:07You started?
43:08Yep, it's about to
43:09Sorry
43:10Thank you
43:12Okay
43:13Carly, if I could first start by asking you about the new album
43:15I don't think I was on the radio at all
43:18How did it all come about?
43:20Um, in fact, some stations were actively not playing me
43:28In the house tonight, wielding the new Mojica, Jason Donovan
43:31You have to talk about Kylie Minogue
43:32Do you follow her career?
43:33Have you turned her kind of venture with the latest album into doing some indie stuff?
43:36What do you think of that?
43:38It hasn't worked, I don't think
43:40Kylie! Kylie!
43:51Some people just want to
43:55Watch you crumble and they're on to the next person
43:58Pop! Disposable! Pop! Disposable!
44:01Other teen sensations seem to have come gone
44:02What do you think your appeal is?
44:04I mean, those
44:04Kind of seem to sort of disappear
44:05You'd be better off asking other people that than me
44:09I can't be that self-analytical, I don't think
44:14Many, many times I just thought
44:15I just honestly don't know if this is worth it
44:19Just tell me about the album though
44:21It's got overly imaginative title
44:24And the minute you start trying to defend yourself
44:29They've won
44:35Excuse me, where are you from?
44:37Is that a serious question?
44:39Yeah
44:39Is there any truth that we're not talking?
44:41Yeah
44:41I find that
44:43So ridiculous
44:46Do you think she's had it really in terms of the music industry?
44:50I never thought she had it in the first place really
44:53I was making deconstruction, no money
44:56Zippo, nada
44:57Rien
44:57Nothing, so
45:00She's off the books
45:03I thought
45:04I'm gonna act again
45:05Because there was enough people who were thinking if not saying
45:10That's it
45:11It's done
45:33It's done
45:33I got a phone call
45:36It's done
45:36And yeah
45:41I don't remember what words she said
45:43But
45:43It was like
45:44He's gone
45:51I got the flight back to Sydney for the funeral
45:58I just went
45:59Oh
46:00That's another first
46:02This is my first
46:04Service that I've been to
46:05Like
46:07Okay
46:07Always with the firsts
46:09You know
46:15We gather
46:16To mourn the death
46:18Of someone
46:19Whom most of us
46:21Barely knew
46:26We listened to him sing
46:29And felt that it was for us alone
46:33We're here today
46:35To mourn the death
46:37Of Michael Hutchence
46:42It might seem disproportionate
46:45The emotion
46:46And the memories I have
46:47With him
46:48And with that time
46:52But I just felt protected
46:54And nurtured
46:55And valued
46:56And believed in
47:02Someone you counted on
47:04Is gone
47:05I remember being at the church
47:07The church
47:07And it was overwhelming
47:09The outpouring of love
47:11For him
47:11Someone who was your rock
47:14Is no more
47:15That's gonna sound totally crazy
47:16But I felt him
47:18Just saying
47:19It's okay
47:20It will be okay
47:25I always feel he's with me
47:30It's kind of crazy
47:31But I do
47:35Which is so like
47:37You can
47:38Have relationships with
47:41As I have had
47:42You know relationships
47:43With different people
47:44But someone that really
47:45Just believed in
47:47Believes in you so much
47:53Here's an important point
47:56He really didn't want me
47:57To be
47:59Someone else for him
48:00At all
48:02He was encouraging me
48:07To discover me
48:17Fuck
48:19Fuck
48:34I had a kind of harebrained idea.
48:37Now without further ado I'd like to introduce the first of the talented and totally diverse
48:43artists.
48:44I was asked to go and perform at this thing called the Poetry Olympics.
48:47Two days and nights of continuous poetry that was put on that at the Albert Hall.
48:57Here is a love that makes its bargain with bad habits.
49:02Tell me lies about Vietnam.
49:05You can have sex with anyone, but with whom can you sleep?
49:11This had some great poets in it, but mostly it was just this endless, worthy art.
49:20When I take off my head, the head looks into my bleeding neck.
49:26It's a fucking baby's fucking crate, a fucking flower's fucking day.
49:32People have been sitting in their chairs I think for, you know, a day listening to this
49:38poetry.
49:41I was seeing Kylie quite a bit and I'm like, why don't you come along and recite something?
49:50I was thinking, are you mad?
49:53The sword of Damocles is hanging over all of us.
49:57This is not my world.
49:58I'm not, I'm not from the literary world.
50:01In view of that, what subject can we sensibly discuss?
50:05So, I tried everything to get out of it.
50:09She said she tried to get out of it.
50:11Oh really?
50:12We weren't having any of that.
50:15For what is liberty without the liberty to act?
50:18And I said to Nick, God's on stage, how do we follow that?
50:23He said, Jesus did okay.
50:25And then he went out.
50:33The way I remember it is that, which I'm surprised I can remember anything at all because we were
50:39so out of it.
50:41Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
50:48You would like to bring in the flame-like Tony Manon, ladies and gentlemen.
50:56She walked on this pop princess up against the most elitist art form there is of poetry.
51:08Well, I thank you.
51:10Well, I didn't expect to be here, but I have come with words that I did not write, which
51:16I shall read to you.
51:28In my imagination, there is no hesitation.
51:33I dream about you all the time.
51:37And I could hear the recognition that the audience, they were with me and with us.
51:45In my imagination, there is no complication.
51:49We walk together hand in hand.
51:52She just broke the night open.
51:53And I'm dreaming that you're in love with me.
51:57It was poetry that we could understand.
52:03I should be so lucky.
52:07Lucky, lucky, lucky.
52:11I should be so lucky enough.
52:17It was like being face to face with my old self.
52:23The one that I was trying to turn my back on.
52:29I don't know if I said this outright, but I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?
52:33Like, indie?
52:34I mean, no one willingly wants to be indie.
52:43They may say they do.
52:51But that's not what Kylie is, you know.
52:54Kylie is this force that is there to affect thousands and thousands and thousands of people.
53:10It's all outward.
53:13It's all giving.
53:16You have an enormous positive influence.
53:19These people that go along to their first pop concert.
53:23It's a life changing moment where they feel something that they've never known before.
53:31The great beauty of pop music is that it is a joy machine.
53:40You've got the coolest guy on the planet saying, where's the pop tunes?
53:52Right, let's get the jetpacks on and let's get back to the dance floor.
53:58But if this doesn't work, I am finished.
54:04I'm spinning around.
54:07Move out of my way.
54:09I know you're feeling me cause you like it like this.
54:13I'm breaking it down.
54:15I'm not the same.
54:16I know you're feeling me cause you like it like this.
