I must confess

Madonna's Hard Candy isn't doing it for me. Yes, there are a couple fun songs (thanks JT!), but otherwise it's not all that.

As long as I'm confessing, I might as well let it all out...

In the current battle of Pop Divas, there is a clear winner for me - Kylie. Her new album, X, is full of fun, upbeat, light music that is full of such joy. I can't stop listening to it. Literally. It's all I want to hear. At the gym it is my cardio workout. On the train to school, it keeps me awake.

Oh, and then there are her videos. They put Madonna to shame.
And finally, JT. Madonna may be using him to pump life into her career, but Kylie sampled his talents first...

Now if Kylie would only tour the US...I'd sell an organ and/or limb (or a family member) to go to that show. Madonna be damned (yes, I said it, so there!).

And before Justin there was Nick.

.....and Towa.

Oh yeah, and that Duran Duran cover with Ben Lee.

Dang, she does get around!

Kylie is my guilty pleasure.

I have no guilt about the pleasure I derive from Kylie!! :-)

Give Madonna a few more spins and it will grow on you...it did on me...but I agree that overall the Kylie CD is much better...pure pop perfection. I've been meaning to download the Robyn CD which was released in the US last week. It's apparently amazing as well.

agree'd Madge's latest is fine, and has grown on me, and... Kylie's effort is better at this point. Why Kylie has never much hit it big in the US I just don't get.

Oh I have - and it has to a degree - but nowhere near as much as Kylie.
Methinks I should check out Robyn as well!

From Entertainment Weekly's review of Robyn:

If there were any justice, the divas who've been trading off the No. 1 slot — Mariah, Madonna, and newcomer Leona Lewis — would also be slugging it out with a platinum-blond dark horse from Scandinavia. Enter Sweden's Robyn, who arrives Stateside with Robyn, an album that's a veritable parade of Songs of the Summer.

Definitely downloading the whole CD tonight - I have one remix for Be Mine off this CD and it's in heavy rotation for cardio at the gym.

Just for fun, here is some pseudo-Kylie you'll enjoy, complete with a startling transformation...! :-)

I've got both and like both - right now the madonna cd is in the car and Kylie is on the ipod, so I do listen more to Kylie.
