She came, she performed, and she conquered. Now we can all die happy. Pop goddess Kylie Minogue did what no other live act could this year (Rihanna, take note!) and delivered 23 of her hits including tracks from her latest album X in a killer two hour set that can be only described as a sheer spectacle.

From the thumping opening electro beats of “Speakerphone” (one of the best opening numbers we’ve seen in a long time) to fan favorite “Love At First Sight,” Minogue hardly took a break save for five wardrobe (Jean Paul-Gautier designed, no less) changes in line with the show’s multiple acts, which saw her morphing from cheerleader to cruise ship singer. Absent though from the multi-million dollar show were the lighted stage floor and props like a giant skull and spider ring which were used in the European leg of her tour; but no matter, as a giant video wall provided stunning visual backdrops.

Backed by a band, posse of dancers and framed by two backup singers, Minogue wowed and got the crowd of 8,000 (drag queens included) on their feet with her dance pop tunes including “Can’t Get You Outta My Head,” “On a Night Like This” and “Spinning Around”. Other highlights included a smoldering rendition of synth-heavy “Slow,” which ended as a rousing rock-inspired number, the heartfelt ballad “I Believe In You” (if only ex-boyfriend Olivier Martinez could hear this now) and the rousing, stadium anthem “Kids”. A crowd pleaser, she made banter with the audience in between songs and returned for an extended encore complete with golden confetti shower. Ending on a high with the beloved retro hit “I Should Be So Lucky”, the entire stadium had reached fever pitch, singing along and wanting more. This is arguably, one of the best concerts we’ve ever been to.--Nicholas Chia
