KYLIE DAZZLES AS 'X2008' TAKES PARIS AND ANTWERP BY STORM!

08.05.2008 Kylie has kicked off her 'KYLIEX2008' tour to rapturous acclaim from fans and critics alike. Opening in Paris at the Bercy Arena on Tuesday night, Kylie wowed the 10,000 strong crowd with her spectacular new show that boasts state-of-the-art graphic staging and theatrical lighting, as well as a total of 14 dancers, a brass section, stunning costumes from master designer Jean Paul Gaultier, and an exciting mix Kylie classic both old and new! Wired up and ready to go, Kylie kicked off the proceedings with 'Speakerphone' from her latest album 'X', before launching in to her mega hit 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'. Next came 'Ruffle My Feathers', one of a string of previously unreleased tracks that Kylie has incorporated into her new show. Following 'In Your Eyes', the stage was transformed into a star-studded, multi-coloured cheerleader's dream with Kylie dressed in her cheeky cheerleader attire, pom-pons and baton in hand, accompanied by her troupe of dancers. Hi-energy renditions of 'Heart Beat Rock', 'Wow' and 'Shocked' ensued along with some amazing choreography that found Kylie hoisted in the air by her male dancers whilst doing the splits! Plenty more jaw-dropping set pieces followed, including a massive silver skull descending from the rafters with Kylie draped across it's crown for 'Like A Drug', and a neon, manga-styled backdrop with Kylie dressed kimono-style for 'Sometime Samurai'. Kylie revisited classic hits such as 'On A Night Like This', 'Step Back In Time', 'Love At First Sight', 'Kids', 'I Believe In You' and 'Spinning Around', as well as showcasing more recent 'classics in the making' from 'X', including the hits singles '2 Hearts', 'Wow' and 'In My Arms', and album gems such as 'Cosmic', 'No More Rain' and 'All I See'. Fans lapped up more previously unheard tracks in the form of 'That's Why They Write Love Songs' in Paris and 'Flower' in Antwerp, as well as a cover of Barry Manilow's signature 'Copacabana' that blended with ease to create a deliciously fruity cocktail with Kylie's own homage to bikinis and martinis, 'Loveboat'. At once groundbreaking, breathtaking and visually stunning, it's easy to see why 'KYLIEX2008' is being hailed as Kylie's greatest tour yet. An evening to remember awaits those who hold tickets for the next 51 dates of the tour! Check out our pictures from opening night in Paris in the new 'KYLIEX2008' gallery!
