"Known as the "Wonder from Down Under," Kylie Minogue has always been one of modern music's greatest enigmas. The multitalented Australian singer/actress has achieved great success everywhere in the English-speaking world with the exception of Canada and the United States. In the latter, Minogue was only able to generate one top 40 hit when she recorded a cover of the popular 1960s song, "The Locomotion," back in the late 1980s, After that her entry into the American music scene fizzled as new waves of music started to take over the nation's airwaves.
Regardless of her brief success in the United States, Kylie continued to make herself a name throughout the Commonwealth as she produced one hit album after another. Starring in such films as "Street Fighter" and "Biodome," Kylie continued to expand into other markets, somewhat like Jennifer Lopez has done in our present time. However, music has always been Kylie's first love and with the release of "Fever," Kylie has shown that she is the comeback kid of the new millennium."Fever" comes at a time when the music industry has been sucked dry of all original talent. With an excess of unnecessary R&B groups and boy bands, with "Fever" Kylie has ventured back into a musical genre that has been making somewhat of a comeback lately....disco. Produced by former hitmaker Cathy Dennis, who scored several dance hits in the early 1990s such as "Come on and Get My Love" and "Just Another Dream," Kylie has shelved any beliefs that her music will only sell in Oceania and the United Kingdom. The first hit single from this album, "Can't Get You Out of My Head," was the number one song in over twenty countries when first released. With a catchy beat and creative use of electronica, this song brought Kylie the fame she rightfully deserves.Similar to the style that the Australian group, Madison Avenue, brought to dance music a few years ago, Kylie continues the trend of re-popularizing disco music in a time that listeners can use more dance and less rap. Songs like "More, More, More" and "In Your Eyes" transport the listener to a time when dance was king and rap was just talk on the streets. Similar to her previous album, "Light Years," Kylie has proven that she is a bonafide diva in her own right. With a variety of musical styles such as "In Your Eyes" (trancelike dance single) to "Dancefloor" (fun, early eighties feeling), "Fever" is definitely Kylie's best work to date. This Japanese release differs from most imported versions in that one will find additional tracks and some of Kylie's music videos on a companion disc not found on most foreign releases (althought the quality of the video portion is fair when played on a DVD player due to pixiliation). Regardlessly, "Fever" ranks as one of the best, most entertaining albums released in 2001."

Kylie gives us Fever with a bonus!

"This is an awesome cd/avcd import from Asia. With this set Kylie gives us her Fever cd with the hit singles Can't Get You Out Of My Head and Love At First Sight. The bonus is an avcd which has the videos for Can't Get You Out Of My Head, In Your Eyes, Spinning Around (love this one), and On A Night Like This. It also contains 2 remixes (Can't Get You Out Of My Head and In Your Eyes), 1 song from Kylie's Light Years album (Spinning around), and 2 non-album tracks (Boy and Rendezvous At Sunset). Overall I would recommend this set. It is definitley worth having in your cd collection."

Well, well, Kylie we meet again...

"I'm not going to bother with a review of FEVER, you can find that somewhere else, instead I'm going to focus on the bonus AVCD. The only reason I repurchased this album was because of the bonus disc. The disc contains 4 videos,CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD,IN YOUR EYES,SPINNING AROUND and ON A NIGHT LIKE THIS.The quality of the videos is ok, there is some pixilation in the videos, mostly in CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD and IN YOUR EYES.The disc did not play the video portion in my playstation2 it just played the audio.The disc played in my regular DVD player. The audio tracks are pretty good.1-A cool remix of CANT GET YOU OUT....2-A lame remix of IN YOUR EYES. 3-SPINNING AROUND ....again, I like the song but its played out.The disc also has two non-album tracks.4-BOY, very sexy and catchy5-RENDEZVOUS AT SUNSET, a fun dance track. The price is pretty steep, but overall i'm happy with my purchase."
