FROM THE ARCHIVE
Shepherds Bush Empire gig - by Stephen Dalton, The Times (July 1998)
"A giant, glittery letter K towered over the stage for most of the set. Half the time, it could equally have stood for kitsch as for Kylie, since the singer seemed to don a different garish outfit for each increasingly outlandish set-piece number. Flanked by two camp male dancers, the diminutive diva milked her status as a gay icon for all its worth with such obvious crowd-pleasers as Abba's 'Dancing Queen' and her own retro disco pastiche 'Step Back In Time'. Far more witty was a reworking of her debut chart-topping hit 'I Should Be So Lucky' as a suave jazz serenade. This was not just an arch reclaiming of the singer's pop-puppet past, but an assured, nuanced vocal performance too.... Having fled from her past for several years, Kylie Minogue seems finally to have accepted that there is no shame in being a pop star."
