A real superstar must possess all the things that everyone is envious about — singing prowess, talent in acting, the effervescent charisma, the bodacious figure, the remarkable face, the not giving up attitude, the moves.
Many have tried but only so few had succeeded. And when you want to be tagged as a superstar, you must be present on every category that the industry has and be a name that everyone would remember.
Some excelled in the music industry but not as much had been victorious when they tested film and those who had been known through music had their roots first in acting. Nods of approval would surely be prevalent when the name Kylie Minogue had been tagged as a superstar, because she simply is a Jill of all trades.
Kylie Ann Minogue was born on 28 May, 1968. The eldest of three children, Kylie’s acting career began early, but it was her role as “Charlene” in the Australian soap, Neighbours (1985), which established Kylie as an international star. Her singing career began, purely by accident, when a record company executive heard Kylie’s rendition of Little Eva’s 1962 hit, “The Loco-Motion”.
She signed with PWL Records and hit-makers Stock/Aitken/Waterman in 1987. Five albums and a greatest hits compilation followed, and she made history by having more than 20 consecutive top ten hits in the UK.
Her motion picture debut came with the starring role of “Lola” in The Delinquents (1989). She left PWL Records in 1992 to head in a decidedly more mature musical direction, and her self-titled debut on deconstruction records was released in 1994, spawning chart hits like “Confide in Me” and “Put Yourself in My Place”. Kylie’s doings were always a favorite subject of the press, but she really made waves with her controversial 1995 duet with Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, “Where the Wild Roses Grow”.
Kylie Minogue had been prolific in both her acting career and as a singing sensation. Since she first swamped herself in the music industry, Minogue had been able release twelve studio albums which received a share of positive and so-so reviews from critics. Kylie’s first album, which is a self-titled one, was released in 1988 and “Kiss Me Once” was her last just on the market last 2014.
On her job as an actress, Kylie Minogue had been remembered as The Green Fairy in musical Moulin Rouge, as Eva Grace in Holy Motors, Dr. Petra von Kant in Bio-Dome, as the jumpy Cammy in Street Fighter and as Tara in Jack and Diane.
Minogue had been known as the diva of dance-oriented pop songs which kept us all at our feet whenever her songs are playing on the television or radio. Kylie, her debut album, had been noted for songs like Loco Motion which easily placed number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. The same album contained other singles as “Got to be Certain” and a mushy collaboration with Jason Donovan for Especially for You. Kylie Minogue’s first try in showcasing how talented a singer she is resulted for her debut album to be Gold in United States on its first few weeks.
With her immense talent and exposure to the film and music scene, Kylie had been recognized by numerous award-giving bodies. She dominated the Australian Recording Industry Association Awards (ARIA Awards) where she belted 16 wins and cemented her pedestal as a relevant musician. Her flawless beauty and philanthropy also merited Kylie Minogue accolades from Elle Style Awards and Glamour Awards. Her single Come Into My World from 2004 had given Minogue her first Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording.
Kylie Minogue had been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 36 last May 2005 which resulted to massive pull-out of tours, scheduled single releases and commitments. But on her guesting on the Ellen Show in 2008, Minogue dropped the news that her cancer diagnosis had been a mistake even after she underwent a couple of chemotherapies and a major surgery.
