So you are trying to say that (and please fuck off if I�m wrong) success in a tin-pot back-yard state of a former colony equates with being a significant global artist. I must say that you have a complex and introspective delusion that may end up in severely troubled times ahead. Not to mention the incumbent facial disorders that go with the territory (I�m thinking the old Cunt-Face Disorder of the facial variety). If you are (as I fear) from that genetically mutated oversized island, then get off it soon before I decide to hate you. Kylie lives in Paris, which is the one good thing about her (apart from the non-crazy boob) so we can all learn a lesson here. When the fucked up bitch realises that YDNY is the best pop song never released, and she is nothing but a novelty-act that�s been going for 20 years the world will be a better place. And I have it on good authority that Madonna agrees. Basically she is shit scared of that song as she knows that it would end her career and show her up as a talentless has-been. But despite the fact Kylie missed the boat there, I have heard the very early versions of RadioK and if she wants she could be important.
