Kahn fantasizes a street scene—what in the ’60s was called a “happening”— where Kylie’s diva entreaty rounds up multicultural, ambisexual legions to join her individual ecstasy. It’s not a riot, not an orgy, it’s an uprising as the swaying lovers amass and their joy takes them literally higher and higher. Kahn erects a tower of humanity amidst gleaming skyscrapers of urban progress; his imagination carries the history of Stonewall and how what began as a protest march has become a celebration [...] Kahn’s leap towards universality does not neglect the reality that gay society’s class, race, size, image and age biases are undeniable (and in fact limit the perspective of even wellmeaning documentarians). Kahn’s floating marshmallows, balloons and white stallions do not make up for the inequities of gay socialization; rather, they anthropomorphize Kahn and Kylie’s idea of purity. Better than the gay exploitation of Sex and the City 2, Kahn’s video transforms those urban spaces—“All the dirty, despicable places” as a Stonewall Uprising witness recalls—where gays once were marginalized, pushed to express their sexual needs in the squalid Meatpacking district (now cleaned-up) or the Stonewall Inn itself (which one witness called “a toilet, but it was a temporary refuge from the street”). Kahn’s gleaming fantasy of paradisiacal urban cleanliness is a creative act that idealizes an historical fact. Like Spencer Tunick, who photographs mass public undressings, Kahn and Kylie emcee a multiracial party; as critic John Demetry points out, restricting participants to the young, pretty, physically fit is part of their idealization. Importantly, Kahn and Kylie serenade their partiers by the Stonewall-era term “lovers” (out-moded by today’s “partner”)

Only Mr. Peanut would care about this, but NOTED critical contrarian Armond White loved the **** out of the video:

Slow is good, top 20. And Red Blooded Woman is easily top 10. But chocolate LOL.

I feel like this song emphasizes what Kylie does best, combining elegance with catchy dance songs.

It's unfortunate that so few can do the same.

Beautiful. Flawless. More superlatives.

"All the Lovers" is an absolute stunner.
