Kylie Minogue Tour

Aphrodite Les Folies Tour - June 14th 2011

Support: Gypsy and the Cat

This concert I had been waiting for ages to see, all I had heard was amazing reviews about it. This concert proved to be so much better than I expected, her costumes, water on the stage and amazing dancers. Kylie came on stage at about 9pm and played for a little longer than two hours. She played many new songs (which I was unfamiliar with) along with her old classic songs which were great to see.

Having seen her before, obviously I was expecting something better than her previous concert tour, and I was not let down!

Vocals: I have heard that Kylie uses auto-tune, however regardless of this she still sings live and never misses a note. Her vocals are incredible and so strong, and is able to sing at the same volume as the music, if not louder. To add to her already strong vocals, there is the back up singers which also have incredible vocals.

Costumes: Kylie's costumes were amazing! All were by Dolce and Gabbana which proved to be awesome! With many sparkles used on them all, with mostly whites, golds and silvers used. During one act, her back up dancers wore very Lady Gaga style costumes. All her costumes suited her well and looked amazing with the entire set!

Stage: Kylie's stage was set up with huge pillars at the back with screens between each one which throughout the concert displayed different images on them. Towards the back of her stage was a raised area which she a lot of the time rose out of on different props or in different extreme costumes. Her stage then had a standard level which had a center piece that rose up out of the stage and tilted forward. The stage then had two runways coming out of it which joined to form a triangle which she did her finale on. Her stage was the most incredible stage I have ever seen at any concert!

Dancing: As expected, Kylie danced throughout most of the show. She has 16 dancers in total which her providing acrobatics and dance routines throughout. There was always something visual happening, mostly dancing but occasionally backing videos or images on the screens around the stage.

Set list: Although I personally was not familiar with all the songs that Kylie played, she was able to perform them with such perfection. The set list included new and old classics. It was the old classic songs which had the crowd up out of their seats and singing along, (I get such a rush out of crowd involvement).

Crowd interaction: Being in Melbourne, which is Kylie's hometown, the crowd was very involved and very loud! Much noise during the show was amazing, with a lot of cheering and screaming and very much an amazing atmosphere!

Support act: I had never heard Gypsy and the Cat's music before although I had heard of the band. Their music was amazing! The vocals of the singer were incredible and really showed the note range that he was able to hit. Although not on stage for very long, they definitely succeeded in warming up the crowd and gaining at least one new fan, I will be continuing the support of this band!

Overall I rate this concert five out of five stars - the entire performance was just incredible!

My next concert is Miley Cyrus with Michael Paynter next week.

Peace
