This thing is amazing! In addition to having all of the PWL videos and four of the six deConstruction videos you get some amazing hidden treats (well, they were hidden to me, I had to turn off the navigation and manually dig around the photo gallery and discography menus to find them).

There are SO many extras, mini interviews and making of featurettes from 87 to 92. Better than that are the (to me at least) un-seen alternate versions of her classic videos.

Stop reading if you want to be surprised by what is there to be found...

Alternate versions of "I Should Be So Lucky" (a very bizarre riding around singing in a car clip...a very low budget affair), The original version of "The Loco-Motion" with the pre-SAW vocals (it is pretty much the same as the re-edited clip only with a strange vocal track that features Kylie singing in some very low registers at times!), there is a concert mix of "Hand On Your Heart" featuring some very cheesy bits incorporating people on the street doing dances with Kylie, there are TWO versions of "Got To Be Certain", the first VERY cheese heavy, the second very much like the actual promo video, and a remix version of "Word Is Out" featuring an RnB mix but using the same visuals as the regular clip.

The only complaints I have are that the videos are not in order of release and that they couldn't just squeeze in "Some Kind Of Bliss" and "Where Is The Feeling (single edit video)", I mean you put EVERYTHING and then some on a compilation, why squeeze out just two videos??? STILL, it's a must have for any longtime Kylie fans!

I am a longtime American fan who has never seen any of these videos, so it really is a joy to finally see them. It really is a crime that she has not reached superstar status in the States. She has perfect pop songs and her videos are so much fun. Oh well, that is to be expected from a country that makes stars out of J.Lo., Hillary Duff, Avril, M. Branch, ad nauseum. There are tons of extras on this video like alternate video versions, interviews, behind the scenes of the videos, etc etc. If you are a Kylie fan, it is mandatory that you buy this.

Kylie fan should not live without this! Simply - great fun!
I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY This is classic! She is so cute when she's sitting on her bed and watching the photograph.. I wish I had a flat like that! 10/10
THE LOCOMOTION Girl dancers wear funny looking clothes but that was 80's.. Kylie looks good, no matter what she wears. 7/10
HAND ON YOUR HEART That flying heart is nice! I think Kylie shouldn't wore those blue and yellow dresses.. 8/10
GOT TO BE CERTAIN She looks so elegant (considering it was 80's) wearing that black dress and singing at balcony. Hat was terrible! 7/10
BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW One of my favourites. This was when the sex-kylie was born. She looks good wearing only a man's hand. 10/10
WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING How innocent she looks in those candid shoots! Didn't like her denimshorts.. 7/10
CELEBRATION Sorry, but this is quite boring. Only dancing.. 5/10
NEVER TOO LATE Again one of my favourites! Toy theatre scene, I think the best is the cowgirl-kylie 10/10
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? Good! She has so many personas in this video, love it when she's ironing.. Also her sister Dannii's in this video 10/10
JE NE SAIS PAS POURQUOI This is cute, though her light blue jacket isn't. Kylie's waiting for somebody who's not coming.. 9/10
STEP BACK IN TIME Again, many personas. 8/10
ESPECIALLY FOR YOU If Jason wouldn't look so ungood, this would be perfect video. It almost makes me cry when they finally get together, so sweet.. 9/10
SHOCKED I'm still thinking about the mystery of driverwoman. Kylie looks stunning! 9/10
WORD IS OUT Though I don't like the song, video's good. 8/10
MADE IN HEAVEN This time, the song is good but video's boring.. Nothing happens in this video, except Kylie's singing and there are clips of her earlier videos on the background. 5/10
WHAT KIND OF FOOL Sexysexy video. Good looking man and Kylie.. She's just herself which means - stunning again. I like the story in this video, liar man get's what he deserves - Kylie dumps him. 10/10
GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME Like Celebration, didn't attract me because they're just dancing and nothing happens. I guess I don't need to tell you that Kylie looks good again. 5/10
FINER FEELINGS A bit sad video, shooted at Paris. Black and white. A good one. 9/10
IF YOU WERE WITH ME NOW Kylie as an actress.. Keith Washington's appearence distroys the elegance of this video. Kylie's so sweet when she's crying in that old fashioned car.. 8/10
TEARS ON MY PILLOW I'd love to see that movie, Delinquents, though her yellow hair is awful. 8/10
CONFIDE IN ME Kylie's multipersona again. Good one. Redred lips.. 9/10
PUT YOURSELF IN MY PLACE Striptease show in space! Her long orange hair looks supernaturally good. Again one of my favourites. 10/10
DID IT AGAIN Four Kylies having a fight. I think the best is indie-kylie. Supergood video. 10/10
BREATHE Lovely song, nice colours. Kylie can fly! 9/10
IT'S NO SECRET It's nice to see Kylie doing the same job as I do, she's a waitress in a cocktailbar.. Then she goes to countryside feeling sorry for herself because some stupid guy was cheating on her. 8/10

If you're a Kylie fan you must have this. As a Canadian I wasn't exposed to much of Kylie until "Can't get you out of my head", so much of it is new to me. The only videos I had previously seen were "Locomotion" and "Confide in Me". Personal favourites of this collection are "Better the Devil you Know" and "Did it Again".

This compliation would get five stars except for the tricky, and somewhat clunky navigation. Otherwise it is perfect.

This greatest hits DVD from the undisputed Princess of Pop feature's Kylie's entire PWL career (from soap-star next door to dance pop pixie) and four videos from her Deconstruction era (the bold pop art of 'Confide in Me', the good-sport goofiness of 'Did It Again', the minimalist 'Breathe', and the Barbarella-inspired 'Put Yourself in My Place'). Although the videos are out of sequance, if watched in order, one watches Kylie's confidence, style, and sexuality evolve. Although some of Kylie's earliest videos are a touch tacky, made on the cheap, and are heavy on the cheese, Miss Minogue manages to shine through and the music, speaks for itself. There are numerous highlights: The high energy blitz of image redefinition that is 'Better the Devil You Know', the chic/campy/erotic fervor of'What do I Have to Do?', the elegance of 'Finer Feelings', 'Did It Again''s willingness to poke fun at Kylie's various incarnations, and, my personal favorite, the minx-in-space epic 'Put Yourself in My Place'. Although nothing in this collection can match the stylized choreogrhy and technical wizardry of 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' or the heat-seeking hotpant-ed action of 'Spinning Around', these videos are loads of fun, and feature Kylie singing some of her best loved hits and doing what she does best: Entertaining Us.

Kylie Minogue has had a good carriere and after making music more than 10 years is good to make video collection. This has almost all the music videos Kylie made during the period "Kylie", "Enjoy Yourself", "Rhythm of Love", "Let's Get to It", "Kylie Minogue", "Impossible Princess", and also some songs that hasn't been released on normal studio albums "Celebration", "What Kind of Fool?", "Especially for You", and "Made in Heaven". Kylie made in the beginning of the carriere quite happy and funny videos...who wouldn't remember great video "I Should Be So Lucky" in which Kylie is dreaming about the guy she has fell in love and she is walking and dancing around the house or "Never Too Late" in which is dancing men and she is dancing on stage with different dresses. After that she started to make more dance videos with lots of rhythm...they very mostly very positive and mostly about love...which is always a difficult topic but I think Kylie undestood the main things...like in the song "Finer Feelings"..."What Is Love Without the Finer Feelings? It's Just Sex Without the Sensual Healing...". After fourth album she started to sing more adult stuff and most fans didn't like it so much...it wasn't so happy, actually it was quite serious stuff. I have to admit that the songs and videos "Confide in Me" and "Did It Again" are quite scary for me. Great collection however...it also has alternative version of the videos "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart" (live), and "Got to Be Certain".

Like most 'Yanks', the only exposure to Kylie was limited at best barely remembering 'Locomotion' in '87. Then came the 2000 Sydney Games and her performance singing 'Dancing Queen'! Wow! Have we (USA) been missing out!
It has been nothing but catch up for me the last several years collecting a lot of her music, and now videos...also check out SAW's 'GOLD'

The attractions of this DVD are the videos not on Ultimate Kylie such as If You Were With Me Now and Word Is Out. It also includes the videos for the double A side single Je Ne Sans Pas Pourquoi B/W Made In Heaven.

Get this for the alternate versions of I Should Be So Lucky, The Locomotion, concert footage of Hand On Your Heart, 2 versions of Got To Be Certain and others.

This is Made In Kylie Heaven!

This is an excellent complete collection of music videos for fans and collectors to buy,all the videos are really cool.
