Welcome to the Popjustice Kylie Video Rate, first of all you're thinking what's the point we already had a Kylie Singles Rate isn't this rate pretty much the same thing all over again. Well not exactly for this rate you have to rate the video NOT the song for example the song maybe rubbish but the video took your breathe away (If You Were With Me Now) or the song is amazing but the video is naff (Never Too Late) and sometimes both video and song are utter perfection (All The Lovers) or both are equally bad (All I See)*. Anyway it's just a good excuse to talk in depth comprehensively about Kylie's videography especially as the past year has been all about K25. Below you will find links to all of her videos so watch each video carefully and PM me with your scores from 0-10 as standard in every rate. To be eligible for this rate it had to be released as a single and obviously have a video and feature Kylie herself in the video for a considerable amount and where there has been an alternative video shot it will be the most well known version that will be eligible in this rate. The Loco-Motion I Should Be So Lucky Got To Be Certain Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi Especially For You It's No Secret Hand On Your Heart Wouldn't Change A Thing Never Too Late Tears On My Pillow Better The Devil You Know Step Back In Time What Do I Have To Do Shocked Word Is Out If You Were With Me Now Finer Feelings Give Me Just A Little More Time What Kind Of Fool (Heard That All Before) Celebration Confide In Me Put Yourself In My Place Where Is The Feeling Where The Wild Roses Grow Some Kind Of Bliss Did It Again Breathe Cowboy Style GBI Spinning Around On A Night Like This Kids Your Disco Needs You Please Stay Can't Get You Out Of My Head In Your Eyes Love At First Sight Come Into My World Slow Red Blooded Woman Chocolate I Believe In You Giving You Up 2 Hearts Wow In My Arms The One All I See All The Lovers Get Outta My Way Better Than Today Higher Timebomb Flower * Those are examples to help you not my actual opinion. NB I've tried to get links that will work for the majority that will hopefully participate (if you are UK based all of them should work) anyway let me know if a link doesn't work and I'll try to find an alternative. But If you know where to watch the videos for your respective country that will be more helpful. VOTING IS NOW CLOSED.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] Here for this. I need to brush up on my Kylie discography as well as videography as I don't know some of these but I can't wait!
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] I agree about the examples given actually. Most of her PWL stuff did poorly on the singles rate but she is stunning in "If You Were With Me Now"! I will give this thought.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] Can't wait to do this. PS All The Lovers is a very average video.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] I love Kylie like no other but the first 10 videos are very ropey.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] "the song may be rubbish but the video took your breath away" Be kind to Chocolate, folks.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] Oh crap I need to do this soon! I haven't even watched all the vids.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate [Deadline: 30th December 8pm] Due to Christmas and the number of videos there are I will accept votes up until 2nd January.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) Yeah, does Kylie even have ten decent videos? (I love Kylie more than life itself, I hasten to add.)
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) It's quite shocking how appalling her early videos are. She was making bucketloads of money and yet they look as if they all cost around £200. Some of them can't have taken more than a couple of hours.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) Her 4 best videos came one after the other Come Into My World Slow Red Blooded Woman Chocolate The rest are mostly shit.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) Don't be ridiculous. There are 2 early 90's masterpieces that should be scored nothing less than an 11 each.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) Clearly her early videos have dated but no more than most of her peers around the time or at that career stage. I believe up to "Wouldn't Change A Thing" they were all shot in Australia. Perhaps had SAW been more involved the budgets would have been even tighter?! (See Hazell Dean "Turn It Into Love"). For my part I could happily watch everything up to "Shocked" on repeat as it pretty much sums up my childhood. She was also a complete natural in front of the camera back then and very expressive. I don't care what the budget is, give me the balcony scenes of "Got To Be Certain" over the first 40 seconds of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" anyday.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) I've just realised "On A Night Like This" is an updated version of prostitute Kylie from "Word Is Out".
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) 'What do I have to do' surely to God should win this? It just distills everything that made Kylie in the early 90s so fabulous.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) It's deffo her best record ever but not the best video.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) It's definitely her best PWL video. During Rhythm Of Love era in general she could do no wrong, although I wasn't too fond of the slutty 70s retro look she sported on TOTP most of the time.
Re: The Kylie Video Rate (Voting Now Ends 2nd January 8pm!) The early videos really are horrific when it comes to production quality, but her charisma makes up for a lot.
