10 Reasons Why Kylie is the Princess of Pop

Recommended Posts

Kylie gets written off way too much. People tend to ignore the fact that she is a fucking fantastic artist with some of the most memorable and incredible contributions to the pop industry. So, sit back, and get ready to spill your tea because I sense a shit storm brewing form certain stans. 

 

10. Her Image

Kylie has built a fantastic image for herself over the years. From the start, Kylie made it clear that she was something different. She wasn't one of the pop stars that was coming along and was going to be a mega bitch and stomp her way to the top. No. She showed her true personality. Kylie tends to be known to her fans as "Smiley Kylie". She is always an incredible and bubbly person. Which brings me to her physical look. Kylie is fucking beautiful. The way she dresses, her hair, everything about her is just beautiful. My favorite Kylie look is her post breast cancer look with her short hair. She looks beautiful. Kylie is one of the most beautiful women in the pop industry. And yes, looks don't matter. But we all know that look is fairly important in the pop industry.

 

9. Her Philanthropy

Kylie is one of the most giving pop stars in the game. Not only is she generous to her fans, she is generous to many causes. Kylie is one of the biggest advocates for the LGBTQ+ community. In fact, her and her fiance refuse to be married until gay marriage is legal in Australia. But it doesn't stop there. She contributed to "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for Band Aid. She recorded a cover of "Everybody Hurts" which was used as a fundraising tool for the recovery effort from the aftermath of the Hati Earthquake. During her Aphrodite tour, she decided to go ahead with shows in Tohoku which had been struck by an earthquake. While there, she participated in a fundraising dinner for the disaster relief. She also contributed to to a charity aimed at ending child abuse. These are just a few things that she has done to help the causes she believes in.

 

8. Her Ability to Reinvent

Madonna, David Bowie, and Kylie are the three artists I think of when I think of the ability to reinvent. Like Madonna and Bowie, Kylie was able to take the persona she started her career as and turn it around. Kylie has flirted with many genres such as disco (on her first three albums), swing, jazz, house, and techno (on her self titled fifth album), to trap and electronica (on Impossible Princess). And she was mostly successful in every reinvention. Beyonce is the only modern pop star I see going through a true reinvention today. 

 

7. Her Song Writing

Kylie got her first writing credits on a studio album on her third studio album to which she co-wrote four songs. On Impossible Princess, she had a writing credit on every song and for the first time, the sole credit for one song and on the others mostly only writing with one other. From this point forward (aside from Kiss Me Once and Kylie Christmas), she had a fairly large writing presence on her albums. And it shows. On the songs where she was the primary song writer (these can be identified as the ones where her name is the first credited) she displayed some incredible chops. Often, the songs she writes on some of the best on the album. 

 

6. Her Artistic Vision

It has become a popular practice to create a pop show based around acts. Dividing your shows into acts first came about through Cher and Madonna in the late 80's and very early 90's. Now, it pops up in most run of the mill pop shows. But Kylie is a special case. Her shows are sliced into very distinct acts which present various performances within the grand scheme of the show. She is an artist who's shows are always very tight and well done. Her vision also comes through in her album art and her photo shoots. She always goes for incredible and intriguing atmospheres and topics through her photo shoots. Watching any of her documentaries on tour creation and photo shoots shows that she has a very clear vision and works hard to get to that point, almost always to incredible results. Other artists that are called "Princess of Pop" just don't display this type of creativity and display the same ideas in just varied ways. 

 

5. Her Music Videos

All of Kylie's videos aren't perfect. No artist out there truly has 100% perfect videos. But Kylie does something different from a lot of other pop stars. She takes a concept and really makes it expansive. She doesn't stick to a formula for more than album. Britney used to have fantastic videos, but since the Circus era, they have become very formulaic and feel so similar to each other. Kylie on the other hand has always had a flair for interesting visuals. Her videos aren't direct representations of the song. They stand by themselves. She approaches making her videos like a true art form which is what many modern pop artists lack today. 

 

4. Her Discography

Kylie has had some clunkers. There is no doubt about that. But every artist has had clunkers. But, when Kylie makes a truly great album, its highs are incredibly high. Much higher than she gets credit for. Kylie has one of the most varied outputs of any artist. Despite her first three albums (which are easily her worst), each album sounds different than the last. She isn't afraid to try new things and experiment. She has dabbled with various genres from jazz,to house, to techno. Her range of styles are incredible. So many artists are afraid to step out of the comfort zone, but goddamn, Kylie has proven that she isn't afraid to throw a curve ball at her audience. 

 

3. Her Lack of Aiming to Please Critics and Skeptics 

So many artists today work so hard when making an album to please critics. It has become a stigma that the better the critical reception, the better the chart performance. This is true in some cases, but in many cases, what audiences truly enjoy, the critics pulled apart. Kylie is a rare artist that doesn't go into the studio with the aim to get critical acclaim and a fuck ton of awards. She goes in to make music she enjoys and that her fans enjoy. So many artists are so disconnected with their fans. Madonna, my absolute favorite, was disconnected from her fans practically from 1982-1995. But, like Kylie, she discovered aiming to please fans over critics and skeptics produced much better results. Kylie isn't out to please anyone but her fans. She doesn't care if she makes an album the critics hate and that wins no awards. If her fans are happy, then she is happy. And that is the sign of a truly great artist. Which brings me to...

 

2. Her Live Performances

Kylie's live shows are just fucking legendary. She creates a true performance. Just look at her Aphrodite Les Follies Tour. The show used fountains, water tanks, acrobatics, moving floors, ballet, and break neck routines. The show was incredible and drew acclaim from nearly every city it visited. But Kylie's shows have always been entertaining. She brings an incredible amount of charisma into her performances. She is all smiles, but can be serious when she needs to be. She knows her reputation, and she always tries to top herself. Kylie since battling breast cancer isn't able to dance like she used to, but she makes up for it in surrounding herself with the best dancers she can find and bringing her sass and attitude to the stage in something as simple as her walk. If you haven't seen Kylie's live shows, give the Fever Tour or Aphrodite Tour a watch on YouTube.

 

1. Her Connection to her Fans

So many artists when they find success forget what got them successful in the first place: their fans. But Kylie has made a point throughout her entire career to maintain a close relationship with her fans. In concert, she interacts with her crowd and she seems so happy to do so. She goes out of her way to greet fans waiting to see her and has been known to give gifts to her fans. When she relays her thank you's, her fans are always near the top of the list. She treats her fans as family which is something a lot of artists cannot claim to do. Music isn't the only thing that makes a pop star. Your public persona and your relationship with your fans is just as, if not more important.

Everyone nowadays who hear ''Kylie'' they think of Kylie Jenner. She is even still trying to trademark the name after Kylie Minogue tried to stop her, it will end up going through with Kris Jenners help.

 

Britney on the other hand will always be Britney Spears, the undisputed Princess of Pop. Kylie is probably Princess of Pop to much older gays (like the ones in that video where it's full of middle aged fat men, the disco needs you fall1) in UK/AUS though. shrug1

i think anyone that stans kylie probably has an older fat sugar daddy who used to listen to her music 30 years ago. and if they are to get any dick they have to pretend to like her and buy her music, which is probably why she got dropped from her label because it's an extremely small demographic to rely on sales from. that and she was no longer sucking dick for good producers
