Personally I'd likely blame the sound mix - everything on the Light Years tour DVD sounds thin to my ears. Of course, that might just be the way the audio was mixed for the release and not how it sounded in the actual venues and I didn't attend that tour so I have no comparison.
he / him
I can understand being underwhelmed by the performance. It lacked the production that every other song got—it was essentially Kylie alone on stage in what can only be describe as a Guy Fieri but make it fashion look.
It definitely was flat live the first time I heard it at the On A Night Like This tour. Totally demo vibes before the studio mix blew the earth off its axis.
Can't Get You Out Of My Head, is truly timeless and perhaps the defining pop anthem of the 00s. Happy 20th to it.
20 years of hindsight and all, and Around The World is a bop, but...lol
Set her up for the biggest era of her long career too.
I am always baffled it never made 10 year old me a big Kylie stan back then! That would have to wait for another 2 years!
I had just moved to a new job and I remember downloading a leak and playing for the whole office of 20 straight people and they all started singing along / dancing by the second chorus. That's when I knew.
Second memory is the office homophobe (who would change gender to male when singing along to female songs!) arriving one morning with the CD single and raving about how three b-sides make good value and almost an album.

My middle school self was quaking and then the release of Body Language solidified the stanning.
The first time I heard THE song it was the day after my birthday and some friends had slept over. We were looking at filth on the internet, but once we got bored I saw an ad on Yahoo's homepage to listen to the new Kylie song. We all sat there transfixed and life was never the same again.
'friends'
I always remember a talking head interview with Sara Cawood, where she said that "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" was one of those singles that everyone whips their neck round to look at the radio/TV and asks out loud "What is THAT song?....". I was only casually onboard with Kylie's resurgence and I hadn't been following along but I remember becoming quite excited at this song proper blowing up pre-release.
I was really chuffed for her, knowing how fickle the UK music machine is, had the right song not came along it Light Years could merely have been a blip in her career. We've all seen plenty of acts have a resurgence for precisely one era.

Y E S .
The chart battle with Not Such An Innocent Girl.
Which turn into a chart fizzle really.
