Totally see what you mean, I think it's the retro colors too.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but rumor is that Kylie will be at the superbowl for the half time show. Its probobly (well, almost 100%)fake. But you never know?

[Vinylfantasy]

People are saying the same about Madonna, I think it's a load of bs too.

[Halla]

I thought it's confirmed that Paula Abdul will do the half-time show for Super Bowl this year?

it'll never be kylie tho

as for the new music video, it's alright. I don't think it's anything that great but it's still far from being bad. I guess the new video is sorta uninspired. reminds me of Robyns "handle me" UK music video. Roisin is also doing "the avant-garde fashion outfits" thing too ...

I love the new video, it's a huge step in the right direction after the 2 Hearts disaster of a video. I adore the scene where she's in front of that fan, it's adorable!!

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Wow is 19934848438x better than IMA and I Love IMA!!!

It's like a sci-fi Spinning Around with a ******** of neon lights... so amazing!

[evolution7931]

^ I don't like it. It's boring and the shots are confusing.. there's too much going on at once.. that short wig is friggin' ugly and yeah.. nothing exciting there. A monkey could have thought up that video..

In My Arms on the other hand, I love.

Absolutely amazing!!

[TeamAyu]

Damn, "Wow" is awesome, I love the video... her wig and outfit aren't my fav but it's a lot more interesting than "In My Arms".

"Wow" is just such a good song! I can't get it out of my head!

[Vinylfantasy]

I love Wow, it reminds me of Madonna's Sorry video with the silhouettes and the dancing and stuff minus the cage. I think I like In My Arms more but this video still rocks.

[bondingo]

Personally, I like the song Wow a hell of a lot more than In My Arms, but I think I liked the video for In My Arms slightly more. I don't know why they can't just release X here in the US already. They need to promote her like they did with Fever if they want any copies sold here though, which I hope they do. The release date for us was pushed back to March, instead of February, so now one more month.

And there's absolutely no way she would be performing at the Superbowl. Are you kidding me?

[Aggar]

wow is ok but not surprised me like Can't get you out of my heart and love at first sight

[Halla]

the b-sides for wow are confirmed, you can listen to the samples here:

I like them, they sound promising

also , Kylie's recent perfomances in japan @ youtube.

CGYOOMH + talk:


2 Hearts:


I Should Be So Lucky (!!!!)

[Vinylfantasy]

Gosh, the Japanese just LOVE her don't they?

[Aggar]

yes . we love her *i am Japanese-wannabe *

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Wow is going to be releaed in the US (Kylie.com)... I smell HUGE HUGE HUGE flop for the US market.

IMA would have been a MUCH better choice if not Speakerphone or Like a Drug, silly cow... . Her single choices are far worse than that of 20YO!

I think at this point US is sorta irrelevant & I doubt it'll matter how well or bad X will do over there since I'm pretty sure they won't put much effort into the US release ...

if IMA/Wow won't be able to revive X in europe, then X will flop all around

Are you referring to janet's 20YO? I thought the single choices were alright (Call on Me -> So Excited -> With U), I don't think they could have picked any other tracks. those three songs are only good tracks on the whole album

[evolution7931]

Nooo I think Wow is good for the US.. It'll remind people of "Love At First Sight" which charted #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 (anything above 40 is considered a hit single).. I think the Wow pv is horrible for North America, it's gonna be made fun of beyond belief, if it even gets noticed that is. But the song can be a radio hit imo

[Halla]

the thing with "Love At First Sight" was tho that it was follow-up to the massive super-hit CGYOOMH . also it's was a great summer song so it was great timing in that sense too. but I doubt LAFS would have been a hit withough the success of CGYOOMH.
the US radio mix of LAFS turned the song into more pop direction rather than the electro-dance feel of the original mix. electronic dance sound isn't really mainstream in the US, I think hearing that the radio stations over there would not even play any CoDF Madonna singles besides Hung Up?

I feel that Wow is probably too cheesy & pop for the US dance scene , and too dance for the US mainstream radio. Like A Drug is more edgier, it would have been a better choice followed by In My Arms and/or The One.

[evolution7931]

I thought the US Radio mix of LAFS was wayyy more cheesy & pop than the original version. The original doesnt sound "electronic dance" to me at all. The US Radio mix of LAFS is much closer to Wow in sound than the original version

Anyway the US doesn't really matter. I hope Wow (or IMA whichever is released) does good here in Canada. All the Fever singles charted in Canada within top 15 and even Slow got #6.. She is still relevant here so I hope whichever single is released her does well..
