Ok. So we traveled all the way from Dallas, Texas to NYC to watch the Pop Princess. What we got to see was a spectacular light show through a crowd of 3,000 heads. I managed to get to about 10 feet from the stage in the GA area and STILL could not see Kylie except for the beginning number where she descends from the ceiling. After that, being only 5’3″ tall myself, I saw only heads and laser lights shooting from the stage. The sound was great and I am glad I watched her European X tour on DVD before this show or I wouldn’t have ever seen any part of it. I don’t know if blame goes to her tour manager, tour promoter or Kylie herself for choosing this horrendous venue. I’ve seen many shows from Madonna to Pet Shop Boys to Bjork to Britney and this was, unfortunately the worst experience I’ve ever had at a concert. My BF and I spent about 30 minutes pressed and pushed by so many people up front that we finally gave up and moved near the bar and merchandise vendors and “listen” to the show rather than “view” the show which is what we paid for and traveled so far for. I give the show 3 out of 5 stars solely because of this horrible experience. I’ve always loved Kylie and have bought tons of her CDs, DVDs and vinyl recordings over the years. But, if her team can’t get their act together, I am just not going to bother with her shows if she doesn’t provide a giant screen for the rest of the fans who are as short as her to see her perform. Sorry, Kylie. I love you but this was just bad and unfair to devoted fans.
I came over form London to see two of the shows, Sunday and Tuesday and was blown away as always. I think Cesar is a little unfair, yes if you pushed forward near the stage you might not be able to see much for tall people around you but if you had gone to the back you would have been able to see the whole show over the mass of people since the stage was high enough for this.
I enjoyed Tuesday show the most, I was close up for the first 90 minutes and then went to the back to grab beers and relax… And on Tuesday we got an extra encore of a slow and classy version (yes it is possible!) of “I should be so lucky”
I saw the show in New York. It was so – so – so much fun. She was fantastic.

We flew from Vancouver to see her in Toronto with the other 10,000 people, and the show was delicious! I have seen her in Europe, but this show was truly her best! The crowd was mental! A night I will never forget! Much love KYLIE!
