I love what you wrote. I actually don't care about the U.S.. Really. She already had her peak moments there on Fever and Kylie eras. That's enough. Even her two (cheap) american tours all sold out in 2009 and 2011. She's good with it. Anything she does hit the whole Europe. She already made history there.

Madonna has some campy tunes, no doubt, but she rarely has an album full of them. Even when she is campy, she doesn't give off this... frivolous (I don't mean that in a bad way but it's the best word I could find) kind of way.
Well from what the albums I've heard which is everything post 80's..... you might be right. Though... I would argue that Music, Confessions and MDNA are as frivolously gay as anything you could name from Kylie. But its really isn't a debate over who is more gay because all of them would be NOWHERE without their gay fanbase.
I thought I posted on the first page, but apparently it didn't go through.
What I had said, like 30 min ago, was that she is way too gay. And that she's too old to break through now. Which is pretty much exactly what everybody else has said. But it's very true. Her musical persona (so basically, Kylie herself) is nothing like Gaga's brand of gay, which plays up the camp and the social agenda without the sex. And she's too sweet, soft and non-confrontational to tap into Britney-style female iconography. Kylie is here for unpretentious fun and glamor. It's hard to find a 2000s Kylie performance or video that doesn't include her being surrounded by half-naked hot men. When she performs, she doesn't really dance, but flow with her music--writhing slowly on the stage very suggestively, but not in a way that could capture American audiences. And her male dancers writhe along with her, sometimes in much less clothing. She's found her niche, and I just couldn't imagine her having a larger presence in the US. She's like a big Barbie doll for gays, but she happens to have some substance.
This is so true.
She was a gay icon too early for her career. I mean Britney and Gaga are one but their fans weren't really singing along I Should Be Lucky and Locomotion in some amateurish-looking video with 14848498488585 men around her.

I agree! The One Freemason remix edit could've been a hit in US especially since radio was leaning towards that sound!! Her team went with the wrong approach
