I've always loved the /Step Back In Time/What Do I Have To Do medley at the same performance, that remix gives me such an energy rush.
I'll need to check if she performed it somewhere else.

Kylie really got the fuzzy end of the lollipop that day; it was the biggest performance of her career comeback so far, and she was hampered by malfunctioning monitors and an audience barely visible under their umbrellas. Still, you can't fault her professionalism in soldiering on regardless.
I knew that one of my 9+ scores is getting a cut, while those two random album tracks are still hanging on somehow. "Spinning Around" is excellent and actually deserved a top 10 placement out of the remaining songs.
And while I'm not mad that there are only three PWL songs in the top 20, I'm mad that "Finer Feelings" (or even "Turn It into Love") isn't among them.

So Kiss Me Once is apparently a better song than Spinning Around?
I love the track but the brain worms in this rate, maybe if there's ever another one I'll actually participate.
Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad song by any means. I like it. But in her top 19 songs ever, when we've already lost countless songs that are better than it? Nah, fuck off.
I'm not even going to get into the Christmas song, which is great for what it is but is only still here because only about 10 people voted on the Christmas songs ddd.
she/her
I knew I could trust both of you <3
In our world, that song would be in the top 5.
Anyway...
Light Years - 7 For a dance pop song, I appreciate its dreamier soundscape which makes it one of her most interesting closers. I know, that sounds like high praise considering the score. That said, when she goes in that speech, I lose it. Perhaps it deserved a 8 just for that part.
Spinning Around - 9 It's one of those classics I don't revisit that much for some reason. I remember the smile on my face as a kid every time this would be on the radio or TV. There’s probably some cassette footage of me dancing to this somewhere. Fond childhood memories that foreshadowed my love for pop music.
Into The Blue, Kiss Me Once, and Red Blooded Woman outlasting the overrated Spinning Around? We LOVE to see it!
Spinning Around is fabulous. In my top 5 Kylie songs of all time for sure and it was the single that saved her career too. For that alone, it should have been top 20, if not top 10! Hey ho.
.
Mess.
Spinning Around - 10. This is one of my life anthems. It's a song that has helped me through difficult times, motivated me to shake myself out of my inertia, get up and move forward. An inspiration.
I think for a lot of us 'Spinning Around' will always remain a classic, but over the years we've just grown tired of it and that reflects in the scores, it still got an incredible average and things are so tight now!
Kiss Me Once 8.9
Highest Score: 11 x 1 @Fuchsia
10 x 17 @P'NutButter, @Jóga, @WhatKindOfKylie?, @Sprockrooster, @SinceYouTookYourPopAway, @SlowGinFizzzz, @Jacques, @ABoy’sGot2Suffer4Fashion , @maverick_79, @hawkings24, @muddleddreams, @Andsov, @tylerc904, @MrJames, @ankh, @SophiaSophia, @Markus1981
Lowest Score: 3 x 1 @Gnuh Gnuh
@hawkings24 - 10 What a lovely song.
@Andsov - 10 Such a beautiful song, a strong contender for my favourite off Kiss Me Once. She performed the hell out of it on the tour. Vocals are a little nasal.
@MrJames - 10 Such a gorgeous, euphoric song.
@Untouchable Ace - 9.5 Another missed opportunity involving a seeming fear of title tracks.
@nanafan - 9 Lovely track, one of the best on the album with lovely instrumentation.
@mrdonut - 9 Despite this screaming Sia (and when does she not scream), this totally aligns with the Kylie brand. A fantastic song, it never quite gets to 10 for me due to some of those ear-drum-bursting screeches.
@CasperFan - 9 Should’ve been single number 2 (something slightly off about the vocal production on this though).
@M24 - 5.5 Love the verses but hate that chorus, it's a bit basic to my ears? I know it's a forum favorite (which is odd considering it was penned by Sia.. And I usually like Sia's bops), I really tried to like it.
@Verandi - 4 Too cheesy for me. I hate those bells, specifically.

Not @Gnuh Gnuh and @Verandi teaming up to tank Kiss Me Once. That said I am highly pleased how it has performed. It was an 11 contender and to see it got one is highly rewarding.
Beautiful. A song that always has given me Kylie's PWL 80s era vibes but with a 21st century update. Always has given me hope during down days of my long distance relationship too and that we can and will indeed, make it through.
Kiss Me Once - 8.5. I'm relieved this has gone. But it is a rate discovery so it got a good score and is a keeper unlike some on the album. I'm always there for bells.
PS. I like Sia.
