Where The Wild Roses Grow (With Nick Cave) 8.16


Highest Score: 10 x 17 @P'NutButter, @Adora Day, @Sprockrooster, @SinceYouTookYourPopAway, @OSHi, @maverick_79, @mrdonut, @No hay banda, @hawkings24, @muddleddreams, @Andsov, @Daniel_O, @Phonetics Boy, @unnameable, @SophiaSophia, @Touchofmyhand, @Maki
Lowest Score: 0 x 1 @Hurricane Drunk

@mrdonut - 10 It was hilarious to see at the time Kylie fans frothing at the mouth in outrage over this whilst indie kids reading Melody Maker and NME raved about it. Undeniably an inspired choice of duet partners, I also happen to think it’s a brilliant (and brilliantly performed) song.
@Andsov - 10 It's an iconic piece of music, definitely up there with Head, Confide, Locomotion, Lucky, Devil, Spinning Around and Locomotion. Her friendship with Nick Cave and their mutual admiration for each other is so lovely.
@Sprockrooster - 10 A perfect anomaly.


​



@CasperFan - 9.5 Stunning and like nothing else in Kylie’s catalogue, a classic.
@Verandi - 9 A solo version would have gotten a 10. Keke_Palmer_sorry_to_this_man.gif
@Holly Something - 8.5 I like this a lot but it also kind of freaks me out a little.
@MrJames - 8 A dark and haunting classic.


​



@M24 - 7.5 There's something very True Detective title-track about this song! It's very gloomy.. I guess that was the intention. The MV is quite a treat for the eyes too, Kylie is looking gorgeous. I give it an 8.5 but I wish I liked it more to give it a higher score.
@Hudweiser - 6 I know everyone raves about this, but it's never done a lot for me. The imagery is all intriguing and dark but I just don't ever feel the need to come back to it.


​



@nanafan - 1 Really dislike this. I know it helped her creative route and made her more of an artist but I just don't like it. Nick Cave's vocal grates on me.

Tragic.
Anyone who gave "Where The Wild Roses Grow" anything less than an 8 is tasteless and should be ashamed of that.
And I won't even comment on that zero.

Where The Wild Roses Grow was my lowest score left, I believe (think I gave it a 4 or 5), so I'm quite relieved about that. I understand why people like it, but personally it's not for me. Basically I echo @Hudweiser's commentary. The sort of darker vibe is nice, but I never return to it.

Lucky was a semi hit in the US, I think it went top 30 so whilst not the monster hit it was elsewhere it did pretty well for a new artist.

"I Should Be So Lucky", while not a major hit in the USA, was regularly featured on MTV/VH1 at the time, which is why got into Kylie from the start. Got the album, but then she disappeared here in the States, unfortunately. I prefer "Lucky" much more over "Locomotion". After that time, I didn't really hear of her until Fever album came out, which I enjoyed but didn't obsess over. My obsession began with X and continued into Aphrodite. Other than those times, I was a casual Kylie fan. But, this last year I've really been getting into her back catalogue, and found some really compelling music. I wanted to do this rate, but just couldn't get it together. My 11s probably would have gone to "Step Back in Time", "Your Disco Needs You" or "Confide in Me", and "Closer" or "Like a Drug".

Aw so glad you got to experience her later on. So bizarre that she didn't release stuff in the US for SO long.

It's so crazy to think that when Fever smashed, my mom/aunts/the GP were like "this is the same girl who did Locomotion?! Where has she been?!". Like, it's hard to fathom that she pumped out hit after hit in the UK alongside six albums before the US took notice again.

This is crazy! Where the wild roses grow is just a beautifully haunting song that is unlike anything else in her catalogue. Those strings near the end send the song soaring and the juxtaposition of their voices is what really makes it work. How anyone can give this a 0 is beyond me but different strokes and all that. And that video. Surely one of her best ever. Deserves Top 20 in my opinion, if not Top 10

100 Degrees (Still Christmas To Me) 8.17


Highest Score: 10 x 10 @Adora Day, @m_dimitrov, @SinceYouTookYourPopAway,
@Hudweiser, @CasperFan, @letuinmybackdoor, @abael,
@Robert, @Markus1981, @Remorque
Lowest Score: 2 x 1 @Andsov

@CasperFan - 10 The bop-duet we deserved. The performance at Kylie Christmas is one of her best ever.
@nanafan - 9.5 A surprise duet and it’s a corker. Christmas reimagined with a glitter ball. Love it
@Holly Something - 9 We love a Minogue duet don't we girls?
@Epic Chocolat - 8 A nice sisterly moment but I can't distinguish their voices.
@M24 - 5 It has all the elements for a bop, yet I'm not feeling it much for some reason. And I don't hear the difference with the remix? Maybe I need to go to my ENT, but I've been avoiding it with the whole COVID-19 situation.
@Andsov - 2 I've never been a fan of pure disco, and this is no exception. Horrible.
