Summary: From Sydney to Manchester...4 Stars Lost Along The Way
Review: The "Live in Sydney" DVD remains one of my all-time favorite concerts, and gets regular play. The "Live in Manchester" DVD has had its one and only...and a fast-forward one at that. After an interesting opening 2 minutes, I found the rest (save for Chapter 10) difficult to watch. The "let's look at everything from all angles at the same time" editing was tiresome and visually nauseating, and made the uninspired and repetitive choreography impossible to watch (perhaps a blessing in disguise). The dancers (costume, hair, and make-up included) belonged on the set of "Night of the Living Dead"...not a Kylie concert. I've never seen such an ill-conceived and poorly executed effort of this magnitude. A lot of talented people were involved in producing this dud. Someone should have had the guts to speak-up. I'll burn the edited audio to CD and toss the disc. 1 star is generous...this one is a black hole.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Let Kylie be Kylie!
Review: Kylie's Fever is a techno departure from her amazing Sydney show (on DVD). In the Sydney show, Kylie was Kylie. The Fever show adds an extra layer of gloss, technology, and production values that dwarf Kylie, and get between her and the audience. (Show planners call the sets "minimalist"... in a way that Albert Speer architecture was "minimalist"). Fever is not unlike when Bob Dylan went electric to go to a new level... or when San Francisco mime Jacques Enzebachs added narration to his miming ("I'm pulling a rope..."). Dylan was booed. And Jaques' patrons started *taking* coins from his hat.... The POINT is that Kylie and her team have tried to do too much with Fever. Kylie moves robotically and poses Stepford style; making the super-warm performer come off brrrr cold. Sort of... okay, colder than her normal super-warm. Get Live in Sydney first. Then get Fever too, as it *is* Kylie. Some high points: Her costumes, the b-boy and Keith Haring inspired hip hop ("Slim Lady") number... sort of a like super-cute Debbie Harry from "Rapture." And... a big plus -- Kylie looks better than ever. Five stars against most any other dvd. This one just doesn't measure up to the high standards set by Sydney.
