Any hatred I had toward Kylie Minogue was trumped by her appearance on Saturday Night Live, when the aforementioned la-la-la song inspired Sir Ian McKellan to plant himself on the side of the stage during her performance and do the seated butt dance. Anything that inspires that has to have some small element of good in it. ---

**tlw** , that was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. Any lingering guilt I might have felt over my adoration of Ms. Minogue vanished in that second. Thinking of Kylie Minogue as the devil naturally leads me to also consider Elizabeth Hurley in _Bedazzled_. Sure, they’re evil. But god_damn_, wouldn’t you love to spend eternal damnation with 'em? ---

The hotpants are up for [sale](http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/entertainment/newsid_1922000/1922052.stm) shortly. Hmmmmmmmm [Kylies Hotpants](http://members.lycos.co.uk/kylieminogue/images/kyliesun03.jpg) ---

Well, not totally. The real threat is posed by the song’s writer: [Cathy Dennis](http://www.soulnotes.cc/sn/printable.cfm?artID=1728). The new Diane Warren indeed. Someone needs to stop her before things get out of hand. ---

I like her, love the song, and while I am as straight as can be, I find her very very hot. ---

From my live journal on March 22nd, 2002 at 3:21 pm: > [@](#): > > \*\* > There are times when I feel so out of touch… > > I’ve been driving past a billboard-on-a-busbench every day for the past year on the way to, and coming back from, MobilePlanet. The billboard had a name on it, “Kylie Minogue”, followed by the aforementioned person in her underwear looking very seductive. Every day I’d pass by it, thinking, “nice underwear ad”. All this changed this morning when Jen took me to work, and I made the above comment about the billboard, to which she responded with an astonished look. Apparently, this Kylie Minogue is a giant pop sensation, and that billboard was hawking her latest album! WTF?! Have I really been that out of touch? How in the hell did I miss this entirely???\*\* Once again, this accursed woman tasks me!!! ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Alessan \* > I liked her best when Nick Cave was smashing her head in with a rock. That was her, huh? I love that song! “Where the Wild Roses Grow,” the story of a man killing his virgin lover, sung as a back and forth between Nick Cave and Minogue. Check out the lyrics [here](http://w1.499.telia.com/~u49903585/en/music/nc/singles/where_the_wild_roses_grow.htm). But other than that, I’m like **yosemitebabe** , I’ve had no other experiences with her other than occasionally seeing the name online. I’m woefully clueless about current pop culture. Yay me! 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kylie-minogue-is-the-devil/103680.md?page=1)
