Amazon.co.uk Review
Kylie Minogue concludes her On a Night Like This tour with an unashamed pop extravaganza on home ground in Sydney, performing to a huge audience which these days consists of more adults than teenagers. Kylie has undoubtedly matured over the years, too, and--apart from a brief stint believing she could become a "serious" artist--appears perfectly happy in her role as the Princess of Pop. Kylie fulfils different roles for different groups within the audience: for females it's all about adulation--rediscovering her childlike appeal like a long-lost friend; the men are offered a fantasy figure--the camera drawn like a magnet to her derrière for 20 per cent of the concert; and she simultaneously manages to be a gay icon, without becoming overtly camp. The joy of Kylie is that she has become all things to all people, offered up in a perfectly petite package.

It's clear that the years of work as a performer have paid off, her vocals are much stronger now with a real sense of professionalism, and just to prove this she performs two old favourites as serious pieces, "I Should Be So Lucky" is offered as a ballad and "Better the Devil You Know" is transported to Shirley Bassey territory, allowing Kylie to prove her vocal range. In true show-stopping style we're offered a multitude of costume changes: from hot-pant mania to refined suits and rock-chick leather, Kylie inevitably appears looking great; although the same cannot be said for her backing dancers, whose outfits are often laughable, with all the style of a school play costume. Despite the many faces of Kylie on display here, pop stardom does not appear to have changed her girl-next-door image--Kylie remains in our hearts a true "neighbour".

On the DVD: This music disc is like Kylie, perfectly packaged in every way. The menu is beautifully laid out (even though the images offer an excess of cleavage) with a great range of easily accessible options. You can choose simply to play the concert straight in its pristine 16:9 anamorphic screen ratio or you can select your favourite songs from the track selection option; you can visit Kylie backstage or watch the great music video for "Spinning Around". The set-up has a choice of PCM Stereo, Dolby Digital or DTS 5.0 and a wide range of subtitles, along with the option to be pointed backstage at relevant points in the concert to get the full Kylie experience. --Nikki Disney

Customer Reviews

The Glamour Our Pop Princess Had It In Her (didn't we know?)
From the alomost lullaby 'Loveboat' to the pop fantastic 'Put Your Hand In My Heart' going on to a moving rendering of 'I Should Be So Lucky' and a super energized 'Your Disco Needs You'
Even the recent chart toppers 'Spinning Around' and 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' make a superb showup! Flawless Concert, loads of extra stuff and brilliant concert! Viva Sydney! Kudos to the dancers, the background vocals and all the backstage crew!

What Absolute Talent!..it has to be Kylie!!
WOW< is what i thought when i saw this video. I have been a Kylie fan forever and this video has vecome a valuable part of my Kylie collection! In this video she looks fantastic, the songs are fantastic, the dancing is fantastic and her voice is absolutely fantastic, it proves that she can sound great singing live! Overall this is a good show and is not to be missed! Along with her "oldies" she performs some new stuff from Light Years and from Fever, and a song called Butterfly which I havent heard before. The old songs are sung differently and sound as great today as they did before! After watching this I am desperate to see Kylie live for myself!!!!, get this video and Im sure you wont regret it!

Kylie at her best!
When I initally got this DVD, I thought it'd be OK just another 1 to add to my collection!
My God Kylie Minogue is absolutley spell binding in her flawless performance! She is sexy without wearing anything skimpy, elegant and graceful yet not posh! She is perfect!
She talks to the audience like individuals which is unusual but executed perfectly!
