Do u think Kylie will ever break into the US?

[ingrownhairdyke]

I was sure "FEVER" would do the trick but only "Cant get you out of my head" (#8 BB 100) did the well.. Do u think she will ever be able 2? ???

The US does not seem 2 like any form of dance music do they

[bluenote]

Not if she continues to make Techno dance music like "slow." She had a chance with "red blooded woman" if it were her 1st single.

but she neds to stop wit the 80's disco/techno sound.

[allow that]

She already had 2 big chances - 1989 and 2002. No one else gets a second chance after all these years. She blew her own chances because she refused to come here and do a proper promotional tour, and then she released a lead single here from her next album that couldn't be in a style considered more unpopular to 98% of Americans. If "Red Blooded Woman" were released as the lead instead, she might have had slightly better luck.

Her chances of another hit in this country have now passed.

I don't think she'll ever find furthur success in the US, and judging by what she often says in interviews, she doesn't seem to have a problem with that. The same can be said about Robbie Williams.

[FADE AWAY]

I hope not.

That dude wants US success more than anything and only started saying he has no problem without having it AFTER he finally realized it's never going to happen.

I'm glad the USA is spared. His music is beyond awful.

Lol, yeah I know, you're right. What I meant was that's what they're both saying in interviews now. I'm sure Kylie also would have loved to be a major celebrity in the US more than anything, but I guess now that she knows that's not going to happen, she feels she might as well pretend that was never a priority for her. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm surprised she didn't achieve more success in America back in the '80s, considering that dance/pop was relatively popular at that time. I guess it goes back to the lack of good promotion.

As far as Robbie goes, though, I don't think good promotion would have helped...I really never saw any of his songs being hits in the US with the exception of maybe "Angels".

[Pink Champagne Ricochet]

I think she'll come back with another hit in about 10 years, like she did last time, if Kylie's still in the business by then. Again, it'll be a fluke (although didn't "Love at First Sight" also do well? And "Come into My World" won a Grammy.)

I like her, but she's never gonna completely "break" if she doesn't put the effort in. Like you guys said though, I don't think she really cares. She's big enough almost everywhere else in the world to make up for it.

[kellydicted]

She probably will never have another US hit (at least not with the way music is now) but at this point she really doesn't need it

[PT08]

She had her shot with Fever. Slow was just not what the American audience is into. She'll have to make another Love at First Sight to have a shot here

[🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾]

Even if she doesn't, I like her just the same. She will have her fan following. I was hopeful when "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" was being aired on the radio and on music video channels. For awhile, I thought that she might be able to get to number one on the Hot 100 with the song. It didn't top the chart, but it still did pretty well.

[The Rebirth Of ffej]

IMo she already broke into the US, because she had a hit. If "Red Blooded Woman" had been promoted she may have ahd a minor hit. But until the hip hop phase of popular music is over and pop is considered popular again kylie will not "Break" into the US.

[freeek04]

I think it's time to move to Europe. There's WAY too much opposition to Robbie and Kylie here it seems and I find both of tehm brilliant artists. I just think America needs to stop picking apart anything that doesn't fit the mould of "urban". It's getting really stale and because I'm in Canada, that's all I hear is America's "urban" crap.

Robbie is by FAR one of the best musicians in the world from a pop perspective, and he's impossible to pigeonhole. That's the problem with American pop music. Everyone must be pigeonholed into a category. That really sucks for artists who are doing something different.

Kylie isn't breaking in America because she's doing a style that isn't urban enough. Case-in-point. I think there needs to be a stop to the obsession with Urban music, because it's really starting to ruin every other genre and nothing's improving because of it.

nope Kylie is dance-electro 60's.. She has nothing 2 do w/techno.. techno is a whole different genre.. No offense but i hate many people who call everything that is dance music TECHNO.. Techno is only one of the many genres that fall into dance music.. Theres Trance/Progressive/House/ etc.. Theres even many genres that fall under Trance itself.. I know its confusing 2 many people but plzz dont just call it TECHNO.. She does not need 2 stop its her style i dont think she shouldnt become urban just 4 the USA.. SLOW is a great song in my opinion..

I think any type of dance music will ever be big in the USA

[freeek04]

i thought "Slow" was terrible, but i agree. Dance has more sub-genres popping up all the time than urban, so it's unfair to lump it as "techno", i think it's that unawareness and lack of exposure that'll keep dance music from breaking into the American mainstream for a long time.

[ingrownhairdyke]

i didnt like the original but the mixes were good. ;) Only mainstream dance like DJ Sammys cheese "Heaven" got 2 #35 on the BB 100 at least thats a start

[freeek04]

Heaven was #8 if I remember correctly *gags at the poor taste*.

I'd love to see some decent dance music break through. Eric Prydz and Riva are examples. Slow DEFINATELY had awesome mixes, but I knew the whole idea of "yeah....slow" was kinda lost once they sped the song up, lol.

[ingrownhairdyke]

wow it got 2 #8 on the BB 100.. :o i was sure it only got 2 #35.. wow.. 2 bad because we r never gonna see any Tiesto on BB 100 or anything good like u mentioned

[Sean]

No she won't.... US mainstream audiences just obviously don't 'get' her.

The funny thing is... it doesn't appear that she's the slightest bit concerned about it. She's huge everywhere else in the world - she's one of the highest selling album and concert ticket artists in most major music markets. She's a very smart business woman. If she had a real desire to, she'd be putting in a lot of effort into it... but she's just not that into it! I don't blame her, it's a lot of work and the odds are against her and she's already successful.

[freeek04]

to be honest, i agree. Good for a challenge, but I remember seeing the documentary about the Fever tour, and she seemed more irritated that her single was a hit in America than anything. Ruined her schedule, lol.

IBIY is doing ok though. #4 on Dance Radio. Maybe it'll pick up on pop radio too. Who knows. I just hope they keep releasing her material here. I don't mind it not selling too well, so long as I have access to it.

LOL @ it ruining her schedule! Well yeah it probably did because she had tour plans and stuff and then she had to go over to the US to promote CGYOOMH. For awhile there it looked like she was really going to give her all to the US market but in the end she didn't spend much time on it... and toured throughout Australia and Europe on the most successful tour of her career.

[FriendsFan]

It would be cool for Kylie to break America all the way, but in the end it doesn't really matter.

And yeah, Kylie was relunctant to even come to the US to promote "Can't Get You Out Of My Head."
