Kylie az USA-ban!!!!
Boston Gig Review
by BostonBoyChris (From LIMBO)
She was AMAZING! I had great seats-- 15th row floor and was in the center so I could see her dead on! Kylie had the band, and the girls, and the usual dancers and sang live. When the DJ Introduced her he mentioned that even though she was world famous, was the biggest selling artist in Australia and England at present, it was her first performance with a live band in the USA EVER! So he encouraged the audience to give her a warm welcome to show how great American audiences are... I obliged by yelling and screaming as much as I could!
Kylie's act opened the same way her Fever Tour did - without the Sound of Music part (straight into Come Into My World) - the dancers were on stage with Silvanemis-esque costumes on doing the same dance moves. Kylie appears dancing from stage right after the intro music and she looks fantastic this evening - great outfit, great hair, great make-up. And her voice! Sounded totally on tonight! Clear, crisp, well-projected, all notes right on! (a polar opposite to Kelly Osbourne lol). I actually expected her to be even more tiny than she was, I guess I had built that up too much in my mind after hearing about how small she is all these years. Come Into My World was the same as the Fever Tour, same arrangement, dance moves, etc.
The second song was Love at First Sight -- which is what I expected at that point. Basically, it was the same as Fever Tour again (only skipping Shocked). She even says "Good evening Massachusetts in the same place!" Same dance moves, etc. I think the audience around me was quite impressed that I seemed to know the whole show by heart at that point!! Little did they know that that was because I had seen it many times before on DVD! LOL! ;-)
The third song was the fever tour version of the Locomotion! She prefaced it by saying "Some of you may be old enough to remember my first hit in the USA - The Locomotion!" The crowd did react at that point, and I think the new version went over quite well here! I was surprised that the male dancers came out in the same Fever Tour outfits, I thought those might be a bit too fay for the USA, but Kylie went for it. Again, Kylie's vocals were dead on, and the dance moves were the same. Obvoiusly, she's had a lot of practice with this set.
The next song continued like Fever - it was the In Your Eyes/Please Stay/Rhythm medley. Again, she kept the same dance moves, I was surprised she kept the part with the 2 guys dancing together, but she did! She also said during this part - "It's Cold Outside, But It's Warm in here! Feels like Australia!"
The 5th and final song of the set was obviously Can't Get You Out Of My Head, and the crowd did sing along with her even before she asked, so I was thrilled! I hope Kylie was pleased with the audience reaction, because it really was quite good. People were definitely getting into it by this last song, I think she really won some people over. This time the dancers wore the bucket-head costumes from the video and did the video dance, the music was the arrangement from the tour again. At the end, she thanked everyone, wished a Merry Christmas, but, she did not say "Love To You All!" as I'd hoped :-( oh well, maybe next time. I think there will be a next time because I think this really went over well and she seemed to have a great time!
