What the International media have said about X2008 so far:

"Minogue reinvents herself as the ultimate 21st-century girl.....Pop is the highest of the arts, because it encompasses all the others.. (and Kylie) is the ultimate practitioner of this ultimate discipline.. (and) on the issue of her supremacy, I won't give an inch...Kylie is actually a pop genius.. The show (sets) a new standard for state-of-the-art mise-en-scène.. It's Kylie's mortality, her humanity, which elevates her above, say, Madonna. As she accepts flowers from the big boys and kisses from the little girls, she exudes easy charm."

THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY - Sunday 13th July - U.K.

"Kylie's X-rated show is pop perfection. The Grand Canyon, the Pyramids, Uluru, and then there's Kylie. Her Showgirl tour in 2006 - all feather and sequin folly - was small fry. The KylieX show is pure, astounding, breathtaking spectacle... Kylie effortlessly, instantly melted 20,000 hearts. Barely five minutes in.. The O2 was already scraping pop heaven."

METRO.CO.UK - Monday 28th July 2008 - UK

"In a word: 'wow' .. In two words: fabulously enjoyable."

EVENING STANDARD Monday 28th July 2008 - UK

"..this show certainly takes some beating. . the cast of acrobat/dancers, musicians and behind the scenes technicians never missed a trick."

THE TIMES - Monday 28th July 2008 - London

"Kylie Minogue wows the crowds .. Talk about your cups runneth over.. From the moment she made her glittering entrance .. she provided the lovestruck crowd with exactly what they came for: pure unadulterated, no strings (but plenty of shiny things) pop. And it was all performed flawlessly by a lady who seems to be enjoying what she does more than she ever has... a bucketload of brilliant pop classics from her 20-year-spanning back catalogue."

THE JOURNAL - Monday 21st - Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, U.K.

"..Kylie Minogue was the ultimate showgirl as she made her triumphant return .. for her most flamboyant show yet... while she was keen to showcase material from her latest album, it was all cleverly interspersed with reworkings of her classic hits, ensuring a buoyant crowd .. Ever the master of reinvention, it was very clear where her reported £10million was spent in creating this spectacle of a tour. With no less than eight costume changes, the pop tunes were belted out in a series of stylish vignettes all enrobed by extravagant French designer Jean Paul Gaultier... After some 20 years in showbiz this girl certainly knows her audience, .. as the cheers of the crowd seem to testify.. Certainly her distinctive voice is stronger than ever in this celebratory extravaganza of a gig, .. there's still no one to compare to Kylie - even her super-toned dance troupe are not a patch on our girl when they turn out in her infamous gold hotpants"

THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS - Saturday 12th July- U.K.

"STUNNING KYLIE MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE SECC. Kylie spectacle leaves audience begging for more. TRIUMPHANT Kylie returned to Glasgow at the weekend with a brand new live spectacular and had a packed SECC singing, dancing and begging for more.

Glasgow's unlikely to see a more entertaining spectacle all year."

EVENING TIMES - Friday 7th July- Glasgow, Scotland

"***** Two and a half hours of stunning performances.. featuring a whopping set of 28 tracks, in an elaborate £10m production that was worth every penny.. In the week she received an OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music, Saturday night was the perfect demonstration of how much Kylie deserves that accolade.. The choreography.. was exceptional.. The level of skill as the male acrobats defied gravity was astounding.. (She) delighted the besotted crowd. It was a spectacular performance in which Kylie truly had the X factor and Wow Wow Wowed.""

THE HERALD - Friday 7th July- Glasgow, Scotland

"**** .. her energy is exhausting to behold. ... dressed up with what could be the most striking visuals ever designed for a pop gig... a mix of music, fashion and art that is both stunning and beautiful.

In the midst of it all is Kylie herself, the radiant force around which all the activity bubbles. And yet she remains as approachable as ever.... this is a fantastic spectacle from pop's greatest show pony."

THE GUARDIAN - Friday 7th July- Glasgow, Scotland

"Inspired by her current album, this electrifying extravaganza (represents) a new style spectacular from the Aussie sensation... with a combination of music, dance, theatricality and state-of-the-art staging, projection and lighting. Opening the UK leg of her European tour this amazing £10m production offers a new bench mark for touring shows. Although the special effects plus staging and lighting techniques make this a visual affair, her impressively long set (a good balance of old and new) in this musical marathon ensures that the ears are not forgotten. From the moment she makes her dazzling descent onto the stage to the end of the show's many themed sequences, this lavish production boasts as many costume changes as it has shifts in mood and direction. Indeed like a champ chameleon, this over-the-top performer throws up one surprise after another in this ever-changing night of entertainment. The Melbourne megastar may have recently turned 40, but remains as youthful and innovative as ever."
