KylieX2008 is just "WoW", January 5, 2009
This review is from: Kylie X 2008 (PAL/Region 2) (DVD)
I've been a Kylie fan for a long time and I have all of her DVD's. I used to think that Showgirl/Homecoming tour was amazing until I saw this one. There is only one word to describe this show, it's SPECTACULAR.
She just gets better and better. She might not be the greatest singer on earth but she always sing LIVE and she CAN sing really well.
The other great thing about the tour is the stage. Especially when they lit up the floor, it looks fantastic. The costumes and the dancers are awesome too (Jason Beitel!).
There are only 2 things that I don't like throughout the show, one of them is Act 4: Naughty Manga Girl. The video Sometime Samurai is too long and I wish she didn't sing Sensitized. The other one is I think 4 songs for the Encore is just too much. They should have left out "The One" (I know it wasn't in the set list at most of the shows, I guess she sang it that day because of the DVD shooting.)
Best Performances:
Boombox/Can't Get You Out Of My Head: It's not one of my favourite Kylie songs but I really like how they combined it with Boombox and the background projections are great.
Heart Beat Rock/Wow/Shocked: The whole Cheer Squad theme is really entertaining and fun.
Copacabana: This performance is just amazing. You feel like you're watching a play, so fun.
2 Hearts: I like how she says "Let me tell you something, I'm in love" and it's such a colorful performance with the musicians.
Your Disco Needs You: One of my favourite Kylie songs, the last notes are amazing. "Shall we take it to the opera?"
Step Back In Time: I love how she starts singing acapella and so soft then the music begins and the dancers come to the stage, really good.

You're gonna love this DVD.
(Also, I've ordered this from amazon.co.uk and it's Region 0 not 2.)

Totally Money's Worth!!!!!!, December 27, 2008
This review is from: Kylie X 2008 (PAL/Region 2) (DVD)
I totally enjoyed watching this concert footage. It's a shame that she isn't all that popular here in the States. But definitely worth spending every dime on the DVD.

kylie...you rock., May 2, 2009
This review is from: Kylie X 2008 (PAL/Region 2) (DVD)
While this concert doesn't have the same visuals and highly intense choreography of a madonna gig, she holds out on her own; i actually like the idea of her not doing all that much dancing and focus on singing, which she carries off well - yes, she doesn't lipsync! Nor can you discern any recorded enhancements for vocals. The set and visuals, top notch.
To me, the best moments are the encore numbers where it's just her and the audience. The best thing about this dvd is that it got me listening to her "x" cd again, after languishing on my shelf for the past 6 months.
