Summary: The Pop Princess at her best
Review: I am sure words cannot describe the feelings if you were present at the live show of this magnificent tour. But since most of us state side were not, we are able to capture the Kylie essence the world knows so well on this just released DVD.Most fans caught the 2001 On a Night Like This Tour and were pleasantly surprised, but KylieFever 2002 brings a new meaning to the concert experience. For nearly 2 hours Kylie takes us into her world, a world of mostly make believe where anyone can sing and dance. Kylie and her fabulous dancers take us on a whirlwind trip through some of her greatest hits to her recent songs from her Fever album. From the opening Come Into My World to the closing pop smash CGYOOMH Kylie emerges as a tough act to follow. Madonna may have set the stage for vivid concerts and advanced technology but Kylie is the star of the stage now. From latin tinged numbers to a disco oldie, Kylie tranverses almost every style of music. This is a must for any Kylie fan or for those who want a glimpse into what Kylie fans call Kylie Fever!

Summary: Kylie's Biggest Tour
Review: During half of 2002, Kylie Minogue toured Europe and Australia. This DVD captures it. Live In Manchester is a good concert that explores Kylie's musical catalog rather well from her days as a manufactured pop tart princess to her current status as icon and electro-pop diva.
The concert occurs in seven different acts meant to display Kylie in some of the different manifestaions she has adopted throughout her career.
Cultural references are everywhere in this concert. There's a nod to Keith Haring, and many others from Staney Kubrick, burlesque, and sci-fi flicks. It's all hard to catch, but done very well.
Kylie's dancers have a strange look that coincides with the videos from her 'Fever' album. William Baker (Kylie's stylist for almost ten years!) came up with the ideas for the concert. My only advice is that he should have hired a better choreographer because the dance moves are repetitive at times.
The music is the best thing (isn't that what should be best?) It ranges from latin, hip-hop, trance, euro-pop, funk, to the oddball. Some of her songs recieve heavy reinvention. Her older hits from her days as the 'Loco-Motion' girl are brought into the 21st century and the songs from her artistic, but commercial failure "Impossible Princess" bring an element of darkness to an otherwise frothy, but stylish show. In a great moment, Kylie references Donna Summer incorporating 'I Feel Love' into 'Light Years', songs that are very close cousins.
Kylie's voice sounds great. A definite improvement from her earlier days.
The documentary on this DVD is a fun piece of info about the concert although it was originally cut down from an hour to half an hour.
Projections are cool, although not all the projections are present.
I don't recommend this to a fan who has only bought the 'Fever' album. The lack of knowledge of the other songs might confuse them. This disc is one for the fans who have been with her for a long time and know the history of this lovely Aussie.

Summary: Worth it for the performance of "Confide In Me"
Review: Very stylish, impressively coreographed, well performed, pretty much what you'd expect from someone of Kylie's tenure and stature. My favorite CD has always been "Kylie Minogue," and the extended performance of that album's "Confide In Me" is the show-stopper here. Quite a few people discovered (or re-discovered, after "Locomotion") her music with the "Fever" CD, but the value of a concert DVD such as this (and "Kylie Live In Sydney") is that it exposes the hidden gems in her catalogue. She's frequently dismissed as being "lightweight," but this is one entertaining and creative effort that will stand up to repeated viewings.

Summary: Kylie is OK
Review: After seeing the Live in Sydney DVD, I thought that Live in Manchester would have as much energy. I was wrong, while this DVD is definetly not bad, its not Kylie at her best. As mentioned in the other reviews, she stands around and moves her hand most of the time. This concert almost seems like a poorly done sci-fi flick. The dancers are horrid, they all look like robots when moving. Kylie's voice is excellent like usual but if I wanted to listen to her sing, I'd just turn on the CD player, the concert is just bad. I was sadly dissappointed with the title track Fever. Unlike the Sydney dvd, the crowd is barely showed probably because no one is dancing. I'd still recommend this dvd to anyone who likes Kylie but expect a much more laid back concert, maybe its suppose to be more "creative".

Summary: An over-the-top, unoriginal, and derivative "spectacle".
Review: It was good fun to watch only in the aspect that it is entertainment value for the feeble-minded, but most of all there's no getting away from the fact that some people would buy this DVD for the purpose of having a good chuckle.
To see Ms Minogue desperately hop on trends and fill up her show with the latest technology is funny, but it doesn't distract from the fact that she cannot sing, cannot dance and has nothing much else to offer musically, but that doesn't really matter. Nevermind that it was hilariously ludicrous in parts, for example, Ms Minogue is lowered to the stage as some "cyborg" is like a comedy sketch in itself and Kylie tries to "rap" just like Eminem but in a juvenile manner. So it works unintentionally where it's not really supposed to, although I'm sure its the reaction Ms Minogue doesn't really want or expect, but it would be tragic if anyone took this show seriously, the main aim is to "have fun" and never to question anything that Kylie does. The only real criticisms I have is that theres too much going on visually, the screen projections are just too much and there's not enough real substance to the show, it seems uneven. Like some bits are good, and somewhere in the middle its average and there's some toe curlingly embarrasing and cringeworthy moments added in there for good measure too, but what does one expect?? this is Ms Minogue afterall, you aren't going to get much and shouldn't expect anything on the level of genius. The other criticism I have is that it takes too much from Madonna's 2001 Drowned World Tour, it's very obvious that Ms Minogue has studied this show rather in-depthly and has used ideas to fill up her own show, for example the "segment" of Kylie up on a video screen as a Geisha during a costume change is far too simular to Madonna's segment, it seems too much of a coincedence if Kylie didn't copy, but this is where she usually falls down, in the past she's been accused one too many times of copying, she should be aware of this accusation, it just makes her look unoriginal and could work against her. Kylie needs to bring something of her own to the table and pioneer her own ideas rather than relying on others' ideas to form her own shows going the tried and tested route isn't always considered an admirable move.

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.

Summary: Kylie's Fever DVD
Review: I am a great fan of Kylie's, however, don't waste your time or money on her "Fever 2002" DVD. Kylie's singing is great, however, her dancers were amateurish at best, Kylie did little to no dancing herself. She is in desperate need of an outstanding choreographer for herself and her dancers. There was absolutely no entertainment value in this concert, I was greatly disappointed and frankly bored. When compared to outstanding entertainers in concert, i.e. Madonna, Shakira, Janet Jackson, Kylie rated down at the very bottom on this one. Save your time and money. Let hope she makes great strides in any of her future concerts.

Summary: Somebody Get Paula Abdul onto the Next Plane to Oz, Pronto!
Review: I am a new fan of Kylie Minogue and knew nothing about her music except the "Can't Get you Out of My Head" and "Love At First Sight" videos which I loved, and so I bought this. This DVD also contains a great full-length documentary about the making of this tour which I enjoyed just as much as the concert. Watching it BEFORE watching the concert really helped me to understand what they were trying to do with this concert more, and appreciate all the hard work and creativity that went into it. The elborately choreographed and costumed show with its awesome set and futuristic projections really reminded me of the kind of spectaculars that pop stars in Asia put on, and I felt that THIS was the kind of show I had always imagined people would be watching in the "distant future" of the year 2002. But I had two main problems with this concert. The first was the music. My favourite songs here were "Burning Up", "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (which I truly can't get out of my head), "Love at First Sight", and the concert's opening song "Come into My World" (the way she made her entrance was sooo cool!) But unfortunately a lot of the stuff here just seemed to be quite run-of-the-mill and unremarkable pop tunes. Kylie deserves better than this. She needs to get some better songwriters working for her, and live up to the promise shown in "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and get waaaay more funkae~, baby. She needs to go further in the direction of say, Madonna or Janet Jackson and get further away from the direction of Olivia Newton-John where she seems to be at now. I know she's got it in her. I want to see her really let loose!
My second problem with the show was the lack of Kylie actually dancing. Yeah she does a bit of hip wiggling and strutting back and forth, but her hottest dance songs would have been so much better if she was actually DANCING. Although it's been mentioned in other reviews that the reason for her not dancing much is that she uses all her energy in actually singing rather than just lip-synching like so many other of today's less honest stars, maybe she could insert some instrumental breaks into her songs where she could funk it up and show us what she can do on the dance floor. And since Paula Abdul doesn't seem to have been doing much for like the past decade now, I think she'd be the perfect person to teach Kylie a few moves and help her realize her full potential. -- Kylie is good now, but I think she can still be so much better! True, they did try to funk things up a bit here on "Cowboy Style", but the unattractive dancers were a real turn-off and everything seemed kind of over-choreographed and never really got co~okin' (a general problem with the whole concert actually). And as mentioned in some other reviews, the dancers here are um, highly Rainbow flag-friendly shall we say (the choreographer seems to enjoy keeping the ugly male dancers in drag throughout much of the concert) Only the presence of the luscious Ms. Minogue could offset the "hurl factor" in certain parts of the concert for me. But I did love the various costumes and personas they created for Kylie, like lingeree-clad pixie disco princess Kylie, dominatrix Kylie, funky Kylie from the very ending (which is actually what I was expecting much more of this concert to be like), and my ultimate favourite of all, futuristic space cyborg princess Kylie from the very beginning of the concert. God she was gorgeous! In short, I am ready to worship at the feet of this pop goddess for the new millenium, who I feel is the most striking and special thing to hit the pop scene since Blondie's Deborah Harry. -- But first she's got to do a wee~ bit more homework for me.
