Monday after Mardi Gras is busy in the House of Priscilla costume hire store on Sydney’s Oxford Street.


Customers traipse in to drop off their outfits, many still bleary-eyed after 48 hours of partying. Word is, this year’s Mardi Gras was a good one, even if American drag queen RuPaul was a letdown. But there’s one thing every gay man on Oxford St agrees with: Kylie Minogue stole the show.

Kylie appeared at her third Mardi Gras this year, performing a half hour set at 2am at the post-parade party. The crowd loved her. She loved them. And why wouldn’t she? The 43 year old has pretty much built her entire career around pleasing her gay constituency.

    I’ve never been a Kylie fan.  Her voice is way too nasally for my taste and her music is really utter dance pop crap.  I like a couple of her songs but not enough to buy any of her albums. Still, good on her for knowing her market and playing… Read more »

    The only Kylie I respect as an Australian represententive is Kylie Mole, Kylie Minogue, she is that British shelia isnt she. I bet there is some nasty infections getting around after the weekend. Read more »

 

Do we really need to say anything? This is the worst thing we have seen since Celine Dion covered AC/DC’s You Shook Me All Night Long. The horror, the horror.

Can humanity can recover from this? No, of course it can’t. The cockroaches pretty much own the planet from now on. Use it wisely it guys…

    I don’t think the tragedy is she did this, I mean good for her, so what? The tragedy is that it can be widely distributed through you tube so that entire populations can be subjected to this. Read more »

    (noisy and distinctly lacking in any melody or “toe taping tunes”) That was the whole point. Read more »

 

Earlier this week news.com.au took a look at dastardly filmclip deeds. We decided to jump on the bandwagon and asked Robert Burton-Bradley to get us started. Because, after all, it is Friday. Friday. And you’ve gotta get down on Friday.

(Hate Rebecca Black? You’ll love this.)

Long before Ms Black burst on to YouTube with her auto-tuned delusions of pop success people were creating music videos they’d probably wish were forgotten forever.

The most surprising thing about this hapless girl facetiously bleating “Today it is Friday, Friday” is that people think it’s the worst film clip ever made. I beg to differ. Thousands of other shockers are now just a click away.

    For 1981 i think the Kids In America video was a lot better than 9 to 5 by Sheena Easton or a lot of others from that year.  It was obviously a cheap budget for a song they didn’t expect to be so successful for an unknown 20 year old. … Read more »
