5.0 out of 5 stars
Pop music at it's best., March 22, 2002
This review is from: Can't Get You Out of My Head Part 1 (Audio CD)
Before I heard "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the radio, I never knew of Kylie Minogue. So, I was surprised to find out that she's been a huge star in the UK for years. In addition to the title track, this CD-single also includes two, never before released songs "Boys" and "Rendezvous at Sunset." Plus, the video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head." This is a fun dance song, with a catchy chorus, sexy lyrics and addictive beat and Kylie's sultry voice only adds to it. This is her first hit in the United States since the 1980s and I'm sure it's not her last.

I JUST CAN'T GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD, February 13, 2002
This review is from: Can't Get You Out of My Head Part 1 (Audio CD)
Most of us Americans will probably accoisate the name Kylie Minogue with the same cheery,fresh-faced Aussie who sang the cheesy-yet-irrestible "I Should Be So Lucky" and remade the "Locomotion"(her biggest U.S. hit to date) back in the late '80s. But while Kylie never really made too much of an impact in the States,she's been just as big as Madonna every where else in the world(especially in the UK,she's had 21 Top 10 hits there) but ever since this gem right here was released in the US this year, this euro-pop vetran may have offical stardom in America after all. "Can't Get You My Mind",first and foremost,is great dance-pop. It has a very Euro feel(so does the video,it's VERY Euro!) yet has a pop feel that the Americans can be familiar with.It has a great chrous(that "la la la" chrous will mostly stick in your head-for better and for worst) and a nicely arranged backing track that keeps up with Kylie's breathy vocals.This song reminds me of Janet Jackson's 2001 smash "All For You" in a way with it's vague disco feel and catchy,un-kiddie pop feel. This is top-quality Top 40 music,right here folks. It's very intresting to see this song become a hit in the US (it's Kylie's first single to hit the US Top 20 since 1988), but it deserves it. P.S:This song was co-written by another late '80s/early '90s stelwart,Cathy Dennis.Her bigest hit here was 1991's "Touch Me (All Night Long)".I just thought that an intresting little fact!

It's Never Too Late to Review This Single., October 6, 2002
This review is from: Can't Get You Out of My Head Part 1 (Audio CD)
As someone who's been following Kylie since her late 1980s, Stock Aitken Waterman years, I was one happy camper when I learned that "Can't Get You Out of My Head" blasted into the US Top Ten. After a disastrous cover of "The Locomotion," Kylie quickly disappeared from the American spotlight while she attained superstardom in the UK. Over the years, she tried to win American audiences back, but with no such luck. Then, years later, came this single, a hypnotic slice of disco minimalism with its undeniable "la la la" hook. Having topped the charts in the UK and in a few other countries, it was poised for similar success stateside. After a long absence, we Americans should be so lucky that we have Kylie back ruling the charts again. "I Can't Get You Out Of My Head" is one of the best and most memorable singles of this, or any other, year.
