I think Dame sounds way cooler. Like Dame Shirley Bassey and Dame Judy Dench sound better to me than their plain names.

Heads up to everyone. At HMV Japan you can pick up the Japanese Version of Homecoming/White Diamond for about $25 AND it's region-free!

^OO thanks, I will look into that!

Ugh I'm so annoyed, I cannot find X in any store I go to here in Canada. I went to MusicWorld and a bunch of dept stores and nobody had X. So annoying.. I bet it's gonna be everywhere once it's released in the US.. everything gets momentum here when it's released in the US unless it's a Canadian artist I guess

Halla 5th January 2008 08:49 PM

it says on the wiki that the US edition will have two discs, but the other discs contains interviews; tracky by track discussions & kylie reflecting on her career.

I wonder if the rumored special edition will be the US version re-released in UK+EU.

an interview disc is a lame idea imo, I'd rather see some new remixes & b-sides & outtakes. usually the US edition has remixes & b-sides from the european singles.

overall the sales for the album have been a bit on the low side, just a bit better than on body language, and that's not good considering the X has had a lot more promo than BL had. I think it's around half a million copies sold.

X isn't doing so well in japan, it debuted at #40 on oricon.

I still blame the shitness that is 2 Hearts on the sales, now they can't make up their mind as to whether Wow or IMA should be the second single, imho I think it should be neither...

We have a two disc version here, I really liked knowing her thoughts about each song. I was gonna order it from Japan but then I saw it on the shelves alongside the normal version :D, only $2 more.

Here is an article I found at another forum, and it's actually really interesting. Usually I just skim through these but this one actually held my attention...



Quote:

The string of potential singles on X has led to an interesting situation - Britain and Australia are going with Wow as Single No.2 but parts of Europe prefer In my arms.

Minogue will film back-to-back videos for both singles in LA next week.
Speakerphone, Like a Drug, or The One would have been better!!!

Quote:

Unlike the camp feather-laden showgirl and Homecoming tours KylieX2008 will be low on hits but high on the electro stylings of X...

... William Baker and musical director Steve Anderson remain on board, everything else will change
:clapclap... apart from the Will Baker part :shakehead

Quote:

However, insiders are blaming the song (2 Hearts) for the so-far lukewarm sales of X in the UK and Australia
:yes completely agree

Halla 17th January 2008 02:43 PM

Thanks for the article :yes

I blame the luke-warm sales on 2 Hearts too & just to the fact that X just isn't as good as everyone hoped it'd be :o

too many good tracks ended up on the cutting floor in favor of "trendy" tracks like Nu-Di-Ty by the "hippest & most happening" producers like Bloodshy & Avant.

Bloodshy & Avant tracks aren't bad necessarily, but they might aswell have been on Britney's Blackout. there's really nothing Kylie about them.

IMo if you're been in the business for few decades already, you shouldn't be the one to chase after trends. you should be the one who creates them :cool

I'd love a Like a Drug single with good remixes.

I agree, there were really good non-album tracks. Nu-Di-Ty was one of the biggest disappointments for me.

In My Arms will be the third European single.

Vinylfantasy 20th January 2008 10:35 PM

I can't wait for the rest of the Wow remixes to leak, especially the MSTRKRFT and David Guetta ones.

WOW

Beyond the Sea 21st January 2008 04:47 AM

I LOVE the WOW radio edit!

~X2RADialbomber~ 21st January 2008 05:51 AM

In my Arms is so much better than Wow... O_O

TeamAyu 21st January 2008 11:58 AM

Why didn't she use THAT as the album cover for "X"?!?

Anyways I just realized that I'll be in London from April - June, this means I might be able to catch Kylie in concert!!!! O.M.G. I'm like in shock haha anyone know how to obtain tickets in London?

Agreed! :yes

Halla 21st January 2008 04:21 PM

has anyone here seen "White Diamond / Showgirl Homecoming" DVD?

I'm thinking of buying it. I've heard tho that the "personal portrait" isn't very personal, but tour part seems cool atleast.

ayu_ready? 21st January 2008 05:23 PM

In the internet a saw a not cheap DVD 'white diamond' without having any idea what it might be, I ordered it and now I'm watching it. it's cool :cool:

Beyond the Sea 21st January 2008 06:04 PM

I bought my White Diamond/Homecoming on CDJapan and now I'm waiting for it to come in the mail.

I don't think so! "Wow" is way more Kylie.
