Yes and yes.Thank you for saying this. I have been trying to figure out why am I not overly excited at seeing my favourite pop star perform live next. I was offered tickets for the Albert Hall show but decided not to fork out the £75. Is it because I have seen her 15 times? Possibly. But my gut feeling is because I feel like what I love about Kylie is not progessing to the musicality of the live right now which includes the song choices, or more maybe those productions. Padam and Tension have been the most musically excited I've been about her in ages, so I can see she still has the drive, but the recent shows have basically descended into Glasto rehashes plus the new tunes... is this a Steve thing or a Kylie thing? I'm not sure but it's quite clear the live needs to be mixed up a bit to keep the die hards happy come the next phase of live events, whatever shape or form that mat be.
What I do know is that maybe Fever tour should be used as a benchmark musically as to how to integrate back cat with more well known Kylie songs. Time to mix it up and show the younger generation that has been gained via Padam why Kylie is queen.
Go back on a silly post that I had a few days back about the selection of future set lists - considering she is touring Tension. There was a few replies, saying that they don’t think most of the new album tracks will appear on tour; and if it doesn’t, most of the set list songs will be all the previous singles, and then it would look like a greatest hits part two.
Maybe that’s one of the reasons why she’s eager to go back to the studio record new songs- to expand her catalogue…
