Kylie X 2008 Concert - Shanghai









Here is one of the most fun and interesting things I got to do in China. Kylie Minogue's "Kylie X 2008" concert tour came to Shanghai and I was invited to go by my friend Eric who lives here. In the US, Kylie is not as popular and in China she is even less however her popularity seems to be growing exponentially.

She opened the concert with "Speakerphone," her most popular song off the Kylie X album according to iTunes. Throughout the concert she wore 6 different outfits (as depicted in the pictures) and danced some great choreographed moves. Looking at the photos you will notice that several outfits especially the last one did not always cover well when performing in an outdoor soccer stadium (Hongkou Stadium) in 35 F temperatures. And she mentioned it too.

To the pics - I already mentioned the last six pictures are Kylie's outfits in the order she wore them for the performance. Pic 1 is the advertisement banner outside Hongkou Stadium promoting the concert. Pic 2 is of my friends Eric (on the right) and Paul from the UK (on the left) in our seats before the concert began. A big thanks to Paul for letting us ride with him to/from the concert in his private car...made it much more enjoyable. And a big thanks to Eric for the invitation and connection to the great seats on the floor 9 rows back. It was AWESOME!
