Passing on Toxic is probably her biggest career mistake. Slow did well in Europe but it should have been the second single with Toxic first
Imagine how hard Body Language would have smashed.
Thinking about it, Toxic (at least the Britney version) wouldn't really agree with the overall sound of Body Language, so maybe that's part of the reason why they passed. But then, it could have just been a bonus track or something. Or they could have pidgeon-holed it for X.

Either way, it should have happened.
Yeah it might not have fit with the overall sound of Body Language but they should have made an exception for it. I wonder how Kylie's version would have turned out.

I could actually see it in the same tempo as Chocolate, really.
But let me stop, all this "what could have been" is too much

It will always be a big "what if" with Toxic and Kylie, I also wonder how her career in the US would have turned out. Maybe she wouldn't have vanished after Fever (although Slow did chart in the US...at #91 )
One of the last songs recorded for Aphrodite, All The Lovers had a similar story to CGYOOMH (and even more similarities between it and number four, as you see); as soon as Kylie heard it, she knew it had to be recorded and released. Her instincts were right, as it's a beautiful career capper and still incredibly relevant, and produced one of the greatest videos of her career.

I didn't give it a 10
I gave it an 8.
The only single I gave 10 for Aphrodite was Get Outta My Way.
Giving us brilliant dance/pop throughout a whole decade.
What on earth possesed her to pass it up? Was the demo version really ****ty or something?
