^^ UGHHHHH. I wish she would come to North America.. this is so annoying. Fever sold 1.2 million in the US and she didn't even tour there.. -___- I wanna see Kylie live more than Ayu right now

[Cyria]

A major star I love is actually coming to my country! I hope the tickets won't be too expensive.

I've heard about Wow being the second single, but I'm not sure if it's 100% finalised yet. In My Arms would be good.

Don't worry yet, it's still in the early stages, there will be many more dates added.

[evolution7931]

^I hope so.. If she comes to N.A. I will be so happy... I'd do anything to see her

After listening to the whole album now (X) I really will be happy if "Wow" is the 2nd single. It's definitely a standout track, I love it! It reminds me a bit of "Love at First Sight" somehow. "In My Arms" is okay but I don't like it that much, and don't like the version with Jolin at all.

I --LOVE-- "No More Rain", the lyrics really did it for me. I also am totally in love with "Like a Drug", I'd love for that song to be a single. I REALLY love "Magnetic Electric", I'm dissapointed that its just a bonus track and not on the actual album. It's so addictive. abd "White Diamond" is simply GORGEOUS. I swear, the bonus tracks should all be on the album.

The whole album is way better than I thought it'd be from the previews. I'm loving it! I'll definately buy it when I see it in stores here.. a copy for my car too Love it so much!

and I bet the tour will be spectacular, they always are! To me she's like the only one who can rival Ayu's tours. Kylie's are so futuristic and just so amazing omg I'm getting excited just thinking about it

I think Kylie said on a radio show recently that In My Arms is the next single. If there's no news about US dates, I'm going to the UK for my graduation present

EDIT: Scratch that. Im poh

[evolution7931]

I wonder which single will lead the release of X in the U.S. in Feb?

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

X has debuted at Number 1 here in Aus also going Platinum on first week sales alone and she kicked The Eagles out of the top spot along the way, finally. I thought they would never leave.

While 2 Hearts is at 9 in its third week... better than I expected.

[Halla]

so I've been listening to X a lot, overall X is a great album but it's not perfect. I have a few minor gripes about the album (besides the obvious "2 Hearts" lol):

I feel Sensitized feels out of place, it's very Light Years-esque & feels a little dated on X. It's a ok song but I'm just not too fond of it.

Nu-Di-Ty should have been booted off the album, to appear as a B-side or something. one fergie/gwen-ish spastic track is enough and I very much prefer Heart Beat Rock.

All I See would have needed a little more work on the lyrics. this is a very mild annoyance & just bugs a me little bit cos All I See is still one of my favorites off the album , but the lyrics just are very RnB-cliche that really remind me of Janet Jackson and somehow just don't sound perfect for kylie. I prefer pop-cliche for kylie

The reason why I'm being negative with the album is that there's a big selection of leaked / bonus tracks so it's very easy to judge the album tracks against them

what do you all think about X?

[darc_aqua]

I think none of her albums will reach the high power of "Fever" which is probably her best album.

I agree with all of this.
Magnetic Electric definately should have been on the album.. God that's a great song..

Does anyone know where I can d/l the 2 Hearts b-side King or Queen? I heard previews on iTunes and it sounds wicked, I'm dying to hear it!

Check your PM box.

[evolution7931]

^Thank you sooo much!

Ah I like that song! The chorus is so catchy

King or Queen is my favorite Kylie song

[bondingo]

I'm quite disappointed with X to be honest. I expected a lot more after hearing it would be the next Fever and all that. Personally, I thought Fever was easily 10X better, I also thought Light Years was better as well. It's slightly better than Body Language. There isn't a single standout track for me. King or Queen is probably the only one I've listened to more than twice and that's not even on the album. 2 Hearts was a pretty big disappointment, and there are quite a few songs that I can't even stand because they're simply annoying (Body Language had the same problem), such as Heart Beat Rock and Nu-di-ty. I was really hoping for better. Unfortunately, I don't even think I'll be buying the US release as I had originally intended.

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

wow really? IMO it is easily much better than BL and I like it more than Fever. For me it equals Light Years as my fav Kylie album... Like a Drug, Speakerphone and The One are pure bliss and Rippin' Up the Disco should be on the album proper + released as a single KYLIE!!
I agree that Heart Beat Rock and Nu-di-ty suck, them and 2 Hearts should only be B-Sides at most.

It makes me happy that I can say without bias that it ***** all over Blackout (even though I like that album as well), I love Bloodshy & Avant!!

Kinda sad though that alot of the leaks/bonus tracks/B-Sides are better than alot of the album tracks... seriously, EMI should not have let Kylie choose what to go on the finished product and someone really needs to shoot William Baker like now.

Better than Body Language, not as good as Fever. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I count the leaked tracks that didn't end up on the album as part of X, though, and since some of them are among my current favourite Kylie tracks, that improves my opinion of X.

[evolution7931]

I can't really compare X to Fever yet because what made me fall in love with Fever was the music videos and live performances, the overall fandom of the album. I fell in love with "Come into my world" because I saw the video on TV, "In Your Eyes" cause I heard it at a dance, "Can't get you out of my head" because it was playing literally everywhere and everyone loved it. And then I ended up seeing the KYLIEFEVER concert on TV which BLEW ME AWAY..

X didn't get to that stage yet I guess.. But a better lead single would have been better.. I mean "2 Hearts" is just.. no! But it still has the potential I guess, with a few better singles and lots of live performances and better music videos than 2 Hearts, not to mention KYLIEX2008 tour
