You won't want to stop listening to this CD January 14, 2007

Being a Kylie fan in the US is hard since, unless you have money to spare to fly to see Kylie, there is no chance of seeing Kylie in concert. Having this CD and her concert DVDs is the next best thing. This CD brings Kylie's triumphant return to the stage after beating breast cancer. The CD is so awesome!! It has many elements of the the "Showgirl: the Greatest hits tour" but she took out some songs, put in new ones, and redid the mixes a few songs. I got chills listening to the Intro and the seconds where there is nothing but applause when Kylie has clearly ascended the stage in her pink feathers.
"Better the devil you know" and "In your eyes" are the same as the 2005 Showgirl tour. Next comes "White Diamond". That song is amazing!! The lyrics are so good: "Like a pure white diamond, I'll shine on and on and on..." Beautiful. This would make a wonderful first single for the studio album that is expected to come out sometime this year.
Everything taboo section:
This is the same as the 2005 Showgirl version. I love how they mix in samples of some older Kylie songs. This medly is a blast to listen to.
Samsara section:
Probably my favorite section of the show. The whole section has a Middle Eastern sound to it.The Temple Prequel gave me goosebumps when I first heard it. I liked the version of "Confide in me" in the previous Showgirl but the new mix is amazing as well. "Cowboy style" is one of my favorites and fits perfectly with the theme. There is a small part of "Finer feelings". That song is one of my many favorite Kylie songs and I'm happy it made a small appearance in this show. "Too far" hasn't been performed since Kylie's 1998 "Intimate and Live" tour and I'm glad it's made a comeback. I think fans are finally beginning to realise the greatness of the songs from the Impossible Princess era and that's fabulous.
Atheltica section:
Great mixes of Red blooded woman (I'm happy she kept the "Where the wild roses grow" part in it) and "Slow". "Kids" makes a comeback and on this recording, Bono does the duet with Kylie. Some fans on Kylie's official forum don't like the duet of them but I think it's great. On the tour, Kylie has also duetted on this song with her sister, Dannii, and hopefully that will appear on the upcoming DVD
Dreams:
"Somewhere over the rainbow" is beautifully performed. "Come into my world" is still in the ballad form as in the 2005 version. "Chocolate" also sounds the same. "I believe in you" sounds mostly the same as well. Going into "Dreams", there is a small part of "When you wish upon a star". "Dreams" got a 2006 makeover. It sounds more laid-back, kind of like an acoustic performance. It's still really beautful sounding though.
Pop Paradiso:
Burnng up/Vogue-I love it. The "Vogue" part is just the rap but Kylie really does sound great doing it. "The Loco-motion" sounds almost the same as the 2005 version. I kind of like this version better. "I should be so lucky" starts with a little bit of a song called "The only way is up" and ISBSL is still the 80's orginal. I loved the orginal version of "Hand on your heart"(I still get goosebumps when I watch the DVD) but the new version is fantastic as well. You can't help but feel good while listening to it.
Dance of the Cybermen:
"Can't get you out of my head" is an all-new mix. Parts of it sound like when Kylie first performed it on the On a night like this tour in early 2001. I love that Kylie brought back "Light Years". That song is pop perfection. After the second chorus, Kylie sings an oldie-"Turn it into love" before returning to "Light years". The two songs mix perfectly together. Kylie then talks about what she thought she might say and how she thought about the moment for a long time. She gets a little emotional and it's hard not to feel for her. She also talks about how she is officially fashionably late for her Australian dates. She then dedicates "Especially for you" to her father. "Love at first sight" is the last song and sounds like the first Showgirl tour version.
It's so great to have Kylie back on the stage. Even though I'm not able to see the Showgirl Homecoming tour, this CD and the upcoming DVD will be enough. I know this CD will be played non-stop in my CD player for a long time. If you buy this CD of this amazing show, I guarantee you won't regret it.
THE ULTIMATE VALENTINE TO HER FANS! February 13, 2007

It seems that lately every pop artist is releasing "LIVE" CD's of their recent stage extravenganzas...and why should Kylie fans be missing out? The sorely interrupted "Showgirl Tour" ended all too quickly when super Euro-pop icon Minogue was diagnosed with cancer. But not to be beaten by her condition, as soon as Kylie received a clean bill of health she resumed course and honored those tour dates she had to postpone...and fans loved her for it! If you weren't fortunate enough to catch this tour live, this CD is the closest US audiences (and its an import) will get to hearing this siren sing her song! This CD is wonderful; not comparable at all to Madonna's stage excursions and tour de forces "I'm Going To Tell You A Secret" or the most recent "The Confessions Tour"..."Showgirl" stands alone! Madonna would be proud! You'll welcome Kylie home!

Being a US Kylie fan, most of my collection is imported (with the exception of the finer release of "Fever" and "Body Language") and the day that I got my hands on the this set was a great one! "Showgirl--The Homecoming Tour" is a well recorded, sung, and staged production. The sound on this set is crisp, varied, and well mastered. Kylie herself sounds great and the soundtrack is amazing. The "Temple" act is stunning and this live version of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is killer. A definate treat is Kylie's version of "Over The Rainbow" and her medley of "Shocked/What Do I Have To Do?/Step Back In Time/Spinning Around". What Kylie fan should have this one?!
Kylie Shines in Live Setting March 14, 2007

Kylie Minogue left audiences concerned & waiting in mid-2005 after her cancer diagnosis. Minogue didn't disappoint fans when she stepped back onto the stage in late 2006, looking refreshed & poised for action.
Her second live record, after 1998's "Intimate & Live" record, "Showgirl-The Homecoming Tour" captures what has made Minogue the single most important euro-pop and world pop figure or influence since ABBA. Her transformative pop ability and genuinely enthused pop ethos has surpassed any disapproving critics wagging finger over the past decade.
Spread over two discs & encompassing the entire show as performed in Sydney, Australia, Minogue breezes through familiar favorites & gives them all unique transformations in a live format.
Highlights include "On A Night Like This" which opens in a ballad setting, giving the track a certain poignancy that it lacked in its studio version. The medley of "Shocked"/"What Do I Have to Do"/"Spinning Around" is a heady pop attack. It will also please longtime fans that she interpolates several minor albums cuts & singles such as "I'm Over (Dreaming Over You)", "I Guess I Like It Like That", "What Kind of Fool (Heard it All Before)" & "It's No Secret" into the medley.
Live, Kylie's voice is surprisingly strong, & carries the familiar girlish charm that it is known for. She shines on the smoky, torch rendition "The Locomotion", Kylie bends her voice on "Too Far", & soars on a new number "White Diamond."
Also of interest is the mash-up of a "Fever" cut, "Burning Up" & the rap from Madonna's 1990 house classic, "Vogue." This alone shows that the only true successor to Madonna is Kylie.
This double-live album captures Minogue at a very interesting crossroads, one that her fans will appreciate. Her formidable vocal prowess, and her embrace of all of her material across the years, shows that Minogue is ready for the next step in her musical journey. One sure to thrill all who hear it. Highly recommended.
Kylie back! February 24, 2007

Incredible album! I love that it's almost seamless, just like her concert...with songs blending into eachother and several medleys. Also great because it has several new songs ("White Diamond" by the Scissor Sisters and "Kids" with Bono) It's great to hear her live. Her fans are obviously overwhelmingly happy to have her back, finishing her tour after her battle with breast cancer. I recommend her live concert DVD, "Kylie: Showgirl" as well.
