Australian super-songstress Kylie Minogue brings her musical
extravaganza, KylieX2008, to Taipei’s Zhongshan Soccer
Stadium (中山足球場) on Thursday. Tickets range in price from
NT$1,500 to NT$6,000 and are available online at www.ticket.com.tw
or by calling (02) 2341-9898.
KylieX2008 kicked off last May in Paris and has already traveled
to more than 40 cities in Europe, South America and Asia. The
“X” references the fact that this is the singer’s 10th concert tour,
features 10 back-up dancers (and four acrobats) and is in support
of her 10th album, titled (guess what?) X.
The tour’s production cost was a staggering US$16 million
(about NT$514 million). It marks Minogue’s return to touring after
defeating breast cancer in early 2006, and the singer has taken the
opportunity to go all out for her fans. In previous media interviews,
Minogue said that Freddie Mercury, the late Queen frontman,
inspired her.
“I’m releasing my inner Freddie Mercury. It’s hard to explain but
parts of the show are so over the top. When I sing Disco Needs You,
it’s a real Freddie moment,” she told UK tabloid the Sun.
Minogue’s show features costumes designed by Jean-Paul
Gaultier and is divided into seven acts, which Minogue has
described as “shows within a show,” including the futuristic
disco-themed opening act, Xlectro Static, in which Minogue has
performed her addictive smash hit Can’t Get You Out of My Head
at previous concerts. Another act is based on US high school pep
rallies and has Minogue and her dancers in cheerleader outfits,
while in yet another Minogue makes her grand entrance perched
in a giant skull suspended above the stage while performing Like a
Drug from her latest album.
Tickets for the singer’s initial run of concerts in the UK sold out
within 30 minutes last December, and the enthusiastic response
by fans on the tour’s European leg supported additional dates in
South America, Asia and Australia. The success of KylieX2008 may
be making up for Minogue’s reported disappointment over X’s
relatively lackluster sales in the US (the tour currently has no stops
scheduled in that country). The album, which the singer began
working on towards the end of her cancer treatment in 2006, was
a chart topper in Europe, Australia, the UK, Japan and Taiwan, but
stalled at No. 139 on the US Billboard 200 despite good reviews for
its electronica-tinged pop tracks. — Catherine Shu
