Kylie Minogue: Aphrodite Les Folies - Live in London [Blu-ray]

I bought the dvd when it came out, years later I got a big screen. Now I am replacing the older version with blu ray to better appreciate the incredible Vegas-style production effort Kylie and her crew put into this show. My brother's wife bought a new big screen also, and I took this Kylie Blu Ray over to let them see true hd on their screen. They were blown away over the performance they were seeing on THEIR SCREEN. Their only content option is satellite or weak uhf antennae.For ANYONE who likes good show, music, and dance, this Kylie performance is one they can enjoy, for Kylie fans it is among her best work. She performs with a large dance crew swirling around her, singing and dancing solo, then occasionally slipping into sync with some intricate dance routine that is going by her. Some reviewers pan her singing voice when she is in low ranges. Her smooth younger voice is getting a little coarse on the bottom, fans who have followed her career from her beginnings know of the physical issues she has suffered and give her some slack, the rest of her higher range singing is the best she has given us. Other performers who have this voice issue just drop back to their speaking voice when they can't do a particular note.Vegas should give Kylie a chance at a residency, I own a large number of tour show dvds by other female singers and her performance show- Kylie Minogue: Aphrodite Les Folies - Live in London stands out among the best.

Being primarily a rocker and nowadays a blues enthusiast, it is hard to believe that this is my 7th title from Kylie. Yes, what a contradiction it is. Just look for all my reviews and you'll know exactly what I mean. To make my explanation short, the reason is this: I only have space in my heart for ONE "Pop Princess". Kylie Minogue, with her beautiful smile (and everything else, from all the "happy and loveable" lyrics to her incredible "sweet and hot" personna), caught me quite easily with the "Live In Sidney" DVD. Since then, I "couldn't get her out of my head". About the DVD, the image quality (both 2D and 3D versions) is far better than the last one, in fact, it is close to perfection. Brazilian fans will be excited by some shots of our nation's flag, showed many times during the whole concert. Great collection of hits and amazing performances, not to mention the extravagant but wonderful stage. Nothing to be added concerning the 3D version, simply because I don't have this kind of equipment at home. Maybe I never will, because nothing compares to the excitement and joy you feel in a live show. Real music lovers go to concert halls and arenas, they pay tickets (in Brazil tickets are ridiculously expensive!) to see the artists they love. DVD's are a good way to relive an experience, but they can never replace them!

I've seen many pop acts including Britney and Madonna. I have Kylie Minogue three times. The first being on her For You, For Me Tour and Aphrodite Live twice Stateside. I was not fortunate enough to see Les Folies (the bigger Aphrodite Live set with the huge catwalks and water show, which only toured in Europe and Asia) but this 3D experience is the closest thing I'll get to it!As a few other reviewers mentioned, the two discs are mislabeled! The disc that does not say 3D is in fact the 3D disc. I'm not sure what went wrong there. But the concert in 3D is spectacular! "Spectacular" might be a under statement because I can't put into words how incredible this show is, especially in 3D. You should know that I am not a big fan of 3D things but watching this on my 3D TV and my 3D glasses makes it one hell of an experience. Kylie Minogue proves herself as an ultimate pop icon and goddess! She doesn't need the huge success in North America to prove this.Please note that if you don't have a 3D TV... the experience is phenomenal in 2D as well!

I had never heard of Kylie Minogue before purchasing this combo CD/DVD. I watched the DVD first and remained glued to my couch, mouth open, eyes like saucers, heart pounding, and breathless. Can I say more?! From the moment that "Aphrodite" (Kylie Minogue) arose onto the stage, the songs, the music, the dancing, just flowed one into another without pause, non-stop, breathtakingly. Kylie was much to look at and follow and listen to just all by herself, but the accompanying dancers, coreography, costumes, acrobatics (at moments I did think of Cirque de Soleil, to be honest) added on just blew the lid off the pot!! Oh, just a minute...I haven't even mentioned the backdrops, the sets, the special effects, the atmosphere ultra-charged with erotica,... and the finale(s) with spurting fountains, lasers, strobes, (seen it all before? I don't think so!) I was emotionally exhausted when it was finally all over. I've watched the DVD several times and each time I go through the same beautiful punishment! Having said all that, I don't think that those that were physically present at the concert could possibly get what I did sitting at home and letting the camerawork do it's wonders.

ALERT! While this 2-disc set DOES offer Kylie's concert in Blu-Ray 3D, the discs themselves are mislabeled. Although everything indicates that Disc 1 contains 3D playback (right down to the Blu-Ray 3D logo), it's actually Disc 2 that contains the 3D concert. Boy, was I surprised by this mistake.The 3D (once you get the right disc in your player) is surprisingly effective. You wouldn't think that a concert would lend itself to 3D, but thanks to the stage design and the use of dancers, there's a nice level of depth throughout. And (of course) Kylie herself is great.
