Let's all talk about how Kylie's 'Timebomb' video is the best she's ever made

Things that are epic.
Kylie is one of those stars who has been in danger for some time of becoming a "heritage act."  One that is great for all their old hits, but whose new output doesn't really connect with audiences.  Like Madonna or Cher or those other divas who have been around for a couple decades, she always had the gays to fall back on, but though her last album 'Aphrodite' was a smash, some worried that lately she'd just been preaching to the choir.

'Aphrodite' spawned one huge single ('All the Lovers') and a couple mediocre ones, but it seems as though everyone - including Team Kylie - agreed a fresher approach was needed.

And we got it, ScopiSubjects.  'Timebomb' the track - a one-off single celebrating K-Mo's 25 years in the business and her 44th birthday - is the perfect Kylie single.  Like 'Slow' or 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head' it features the usually sweet and bubbly pop princess being slightly menacing, taking on a bit of an edge.  With a strategic whisper and a shout or two, she injects her trademark personality into the track, and like the aforementioned hit singles, it comes out all the better for it.

The video, though, is where Team K really hit it out of the park.  Gone is the slick, campy imagery so often chucked out by her gay-husband "image designer" William Baker, and in its place is a gritty, relevant clip that both honors the 25 year legacy of the star and signals to the world that she's not leaving anytime soon.  And all of that without throwing on a leotard and acting like a grandmother in heat (ahem, Madonna).

The 'Timebomb' clip features Kylie at her most natural, which happens to be Kylie at her very best.  It's "now," it's epic, and it should make the young up-and-comers sit up and take notice that to be a truly great pop star you don't need any gimmicks.  Just good editing, a great track, and a world of personality.

'Timebomb' is out now on iTunes UK, Australia and US, and will be performed on the UK's 'The Voice' final this weekend.

Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm looking to start my own blog soon but I'm having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for
something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic
but I had to ask!

Hey there! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.

Does running a well-established website such as yours
take a lot of work? I'm completely new to blogging however I do write in my journal everyday. I'd like to start a
blog so I can share my own experience and views online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!

My programmer is trying to convince me to move
to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've
been using Movable-type on several websites for
about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress
content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice
from an established blog. Is it very hard to set up your own blog?
I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the layout of your site?

Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2
images. Maybe you could space it out better?
