“one of the best videos i have ever seen!Thank u MrPierre,as always..Wildenight everyone.” 
Pierre (webmaster) wrote
“Calanor, something tells me that you are, now.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: I am?! But.. I was just about to leave home..?! Uh.. OK, will be out for 30 mins, but anyway - frustrating still.. Oh, welcome to the EU, btw.”
jerzy wrote
“Interesting thought about House of Salome being a foretaste of what was to come in 1984. Never thought about it in this way... I have to sleep with it. Now I have to go and celebrate Poland's accession to the EU! And Calanor, know my benevolence: you're allowed to listen to Cambodia now!”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: And I've still not listened to Cambodia! I am actually a bit proud of myself! *checks the time* OK, somewhat over 3 1/2 hours to go..”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Btw, House of Salome was single material as well ;) But I get your point, Love Blonde was promoted way more than HoS.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Regarding House of Salome - yea, it might be considered as blasphemy, especially if one worships the RAK days *raises his hand*. But that song has almost prophetical values in the sense that it gives a hint of what the next album will, to a great extent, sound like. No other track on CaCC sounds like HoS, even though Dream Sequence is a bit special. HoS would have been my fav track on T&D, but now it's uh well, one of a whole bunch of fav tracks on CaCC instead :)”
jerzy wrote
“Love Blonde is conspicuously different, but that was a single material. And Dancing in the Dark - I agree up to a point. After all, it wasn't written by the Wilde team and it shows. But HoS??? You heretic.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Yea, had that one in mind actually, but it quite fits in with the rest after all. Dunno why and it's prolly just a personal opinion here, but I feel that it does. Rather um unusual lyrics though *lol*”
jerzy wrote
“House of Salome not a CaCC song? That's what I call blasphemy!!!”
jerzy wrote
“Calanor: 2-6-5-8-0 is also in a way "from a different fairytale"... ”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Oh, and about CaCC - I don't agree that it's that coherent, actually. Select, yea, but not CaCC. House of Salome? Dancing in the Dark? Neither of these songs sound like they really belong on that album. House of Salome is actually quite clearly a Teases and Dares track, hehe.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: You think? The only song I feel is a bit off is Everything We Know - good song and all, but it doesn't really fit in with the rest. Apart from that, I think the debut is absolutely loaded with superb - and I guess quite coherent - songs.”
jerzy wrote
“Have a great weekend, Alisue, go and spread your magic!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“"Tuning In Tuning On" is in my own personal Top 5. It was an obvious move for me when coming back from the church the day told good bye to my beloved grandad Pietro Alessandro putting it on over and over and crying on my bed all the teardrops of my heart to let him go... I will love that song forever. I wish you all the best, see you soon!”
jerzy wrote
“The inferiority of the debut album IMO lies in the fact that it's uneven stylistically. As if Kim and her team couldn't make a decision about which way she should go. Select and CACC (especially the latter) are more coherent in that respect, that's what I like about them. Not concept albums yet but almost there. ”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: One thing though - CaCC actually features a song that doesn't impress me that much (Dancing in the Dark) - not like I hate it, but the debut actually feature no song at all that I in any way dislike. That's pretty good for a debut.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Select and Catch as Catch Can (odd title really..)? Well, to some extent - Select is naturally superior in every way, but CaCC and the debut are more similar in many ways. I think they are pretty equal, meaning that I rate both of them very high.”
jerzy wrote
“*very shyly* IMHO the debut album is rather inferior to two masterpieces that followed, but it's just me. ”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Heck, it's from the debut album - any song from it is extraordinary :P”
jerzy wrote
“Let's split the difference, Calanor, and agree that the whole song is extraordinary, shall we?”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Perhaps, but it's the monologue at the end I love *big hearts flying about*”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: Well, no need to preach to the choir *points at himself* But that had nothing to do with the Mediterranean, though :P”
jerzy wrote
“And the beginning of Tuning In Tuning On is like one big splash. Love it. This intro is also quite sudden and I remember it giving a start to some people. They were literally jumping up in their places at the sound of it.”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I think some of Kim s material was water-like. Especially in the beginning, it was 1 part of the mystery, we never saw what happened deep inside her wild moods and notes, it was too dark. Just like the middle of the sea, I love water-like music, another great example is William Orbit s work on M s "Ray Of Light"... If it s a drowned world we re living in, better swim to the ocean floor...”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: Nope, you haven't, I believe :P”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Did I already told you that I actually discovered Kim with Cambodia while sailing on the Mediterranean sea aged of 10, on the knees of the first man I felt a sexual attraction for? He s also the 1 who made me discover Madonna and Cindy Lauper by the way.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Cruel and inconsiderate man!”
jerzy wrote
“If you can't listen to it, you can at least talk about it. Go on, guys.”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: Along with VFAB, CCA and possibly WoG, I agree. Video wise, it's probably the darkest one. Which is probably why I fell in love with it :) Hey, I never said that I was fully sane :)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“The first note of it is a splash, yep! I actually think it s 1 of Kim s darkest songs, don t you? ”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: Nope, it's one tremendous splash, actually :)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“O Calanor... isn t Cambodia a drop in the Wilde ocean surrounded by its lovers on a beach?”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: As I've said before, you can be a bit odd at times - rarely listens to Cambodia? That's.. remarkable ;)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I rarely listen to "Cambodia" and will call another guy to subsitute me if you really keep me from coming here for 1 long entire day, et toc! (en français dans le texte ;-)”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: *needs life support by now*”
jerzy wrote
“Alisue: did you misspell my name by any chance? And called me a teenager? That calls for a double punishment. Let me think... No visits at this site AND no Cambodia listening for a WHOLE day. ”
Calanor wrote
“*strangled cry* *gak*”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“DJJJEEEEEEEEEEERRRZYY! How many times will I have to tell you how bad it is listening what s happening behind a door!? You need a good correction right now: back to the kitchen and no dessert for you tonight! Ahhh, those teenagers...”
jerzy wrote
“Calanor: you're a good boy. Your determination almost brings tears to my eyes. Very touching.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: *crawling through the desert with a parched throat* No.. I won't drink that water.. I won't *gahh*”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: Believe me, man, I would - but I actually honour his wish right now :D Well, I am one of the three Looniteers, after all *lol*”
jerzy wrote
“Alisue: stop tempting Calanor or I'll think of some equally devilish punishment for you! ”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“O Calanor, my biggest addiction in the moment is Pierre s site, there s nothing I can do about it. It s stronger than me! I give you my permission Calanor, put "Cambodia" on... Jerzy must be cooking right now, his fingers lost in mortadella and spinach, so go for it boy, and LOUDLY ;-)))”
Calanor wrote
“*mumbling between his teeth* Well, I am basically taking a large chunk out of my computer table with my teeth, just out of pure frustration. But I haven't listened to Cambodia yet. And people say that giving up smoking is hard? Hahaha!”
Calanor wrote
“Well, who can't feel good today? It's the heathen spring-summer festival (Last of April) over here today and while the sky is somewhat overcast, the weather is still unusually nice - we often have snow lying around here about this time, after all. But this time around, we don't *bounces about*”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I m feeling good, a bit nervous 'cause as usual I feel what s happening in the air and something s gonna start ;-) I m in my "Dangerous Liaisons" mood today, like a dangerous desire...”
Lisa wrote
“Yep just a little dream/fantasy ...that's all. Have to go now as the bath is getting cold...not too bad Mr Extasy, and you??”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Lisa, in the case you thought my last post was for you, then it was for me ;-)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“1 can live his/her whole life dreaming of something that will probably never happen and not seeing that the *right* is there, waiting on the left... That s life, that s what you make it! Talk, talk and breathe ;-)”
Lisa wrote
“He visits here every now and then and I see him in my dreams!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Some things are better left unsaid, aren t they? Hello Lisa, how s life?”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“You got it Calanor, a naturally Wilde quality, a naturally anti-Halliwell quality. Some people try hard to get it, but the secret is not trying at all...”
Lisa wrote
“Cally, I know a boy who has that "Savoir Fair", this girl knows and she's aware!”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: That extra Touch, so to speak, you mean? OK, makes sense - thanks for the info :)”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Oh darn.. That's tonight? Well, that's quite an extension, indeed. Yea, well, guess I will do that then :D”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“If you ve got that "Savoir Faire" means you exactly do the same as the other people but with a little more that money can t buy, that could be a star quality for example!”
jerzy wrote
“Those French people take so long to answer any question, don't they? I think "savoir faire" means something like "knowledge how to behave in any situation", but that's only my guess - my French is quite poor, too!”
jerzy wrote
“What? Celebrating the extension of the European Union with Cambodia on your stereo? ”
Calanor wrote
“*turns very pale* OK.. But guess what I'll be doing 00.01 AM tonight?”
jerzy wrote
“No "buts", Calanor.”
Calanor wrote
“In an attempt to keep my mind off this horrendous torture jerzy's putting me under, I have to ask what "Savoir Faire" in Love Blonde really means? My knowledge of French is, at the very best, quite limited.”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: But.. Reprise..?”
jerzy wrote
“Calanor: misspelling my name is a serious offence and to tell the truth you got off quite lightly because you might have been punished with a prohibition on Cambodia AND Child Come Away. You should be grateful!”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: What, not even a remix or two? Do you want to kill me? :( Hmm, how about Reprise? That doesn't count, does it? And if I happen to, say, watch First Time Out which feature a live performance of Cambodia, I should like fast forward? *wipes some tears away*”
jerzy wrote
“Prohibition means prohibition - just that. And it's final, Calanor, no video, no mixes, no nothing. No Cambodia in any shape and form! (It's nice to be cruel from time to time) ”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: *rereading your post* Uh, "prohibition"? I thought you meant that I'd be "forced" to listen to Cambodia all day long. Now, a prohibition changes the whole thing. You are a cruel, sinister, and ruthless man! An entire day!? *waaah!*”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Hmm, do various video clips and remixes count?”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: Noo!! Not that! Please! *rushes to the CD player*”
jerzy wrote
“Oh, Calanor, your punishment for misspelling my name would be a prohibition to listen to Cambodia for one full day.”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: *sighs happily* Nice story about your trip through Spain, Alisue. Let's hope that we'll be able to see the name KIM WILDE in big letters on houses and whatever soon again.”
jerzy wrote
“Cheers, thanks a lot (as Patsy would say!). Alisue, I'll let you know about the results. Appreciate it!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“And after that Jerzy, we ll finally get serious 'cause we all know life is better when serious! Kim if you read us from times to times, try the spinach mortadella thing too. You, your husband and your children are gonna love it for sure! (No Chianti for the kids Kim!)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“So here we are. What you need: 1 pie dough (round is better to put in the pie mold), 1 ricotta box (250 gr), parmiggiano (grana, better the one you grind yourself), 2 eggs, 1 mortadella box (150/200 gr), 1 spinach box (Hey boys, ever dreamt of a Popeye Power? ;-). Now in the kitchen (with or without the apron): you cook the spinach while in another recipient you balloney the mortadella before adding in it the ricotta, the grated parmiggiano (you ve got to try it as it gives a lot of salt flavor), the 2 eggs. Once it s all in the bowl you add it to the cooked spinach and mix the ensemble with your hands (what a thrill, I love putting my hands in forbidden places!). You try your mixture and add pepper and salt (if it needs it as the parmiggiano is already well salted). You then put your lovely mixture on the pie dough and bake it all in the oven for about 15/20 minutes (watch through your oven dirty old window when it looks ready to be eaten!). You make a balasamiK rucola salad with 1 tiny chopped tomato for the colour and parmiggiano copeaux for the style and you dress your table in green and red to make Hollywood-like, with style and grace ;-) Oh, don t forget a good Chianti my boy! And then, like Kim s private life, what happens belongs to you and your guy... Enjoy! I love you all, Alexandre”
Calanor wrote
“JR: *lol* Well, but still, it's better than a quiet forum, no? :)”

“I personally woudn't want WTV will be talk-conversation like over the phone-talk betweeen fans LOL because i miss out from whats important sometimes when its soo much messages...Some converstations can easiy be done via Emails to each other..But its my opinion”
jerzy wrote
“And Alisue, who needs an apron, anyway?”
jerzy wrote
“I'm not sure I'll do it tonight, but definitely over the weekend, so there's no hurry, Alisue. However, if you post your recipe here on this forum, some other people might be tempted to try it, so that we all know what your boyfriend has to put up with in the culinary department :-)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“So let s be efficient now. Do you really want to cook it tonight? Believe me it s delicious. In that case I m going to smoke 1 cigarette in the sun now and come back to tell you what to why and how to cook it in 15 minutes, OK dear Jerzy? You actually miss something, the "KITCHEN BITCH" apron... ;-) C ya, I m gonna smoke as I heard it s good for health and skin!”
jerzy wrote
“Nope, but my supermarket has a wide Italian range.”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Do you have an italian grocery near you Jerzy?”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“10 minutes and I write you the steps to get a your perfect torta! It s so funny... Everyday something new here!”
jerzy wrote
“Sounds lovely... thanks for inspiring me, Alisue. I'm gonna turn into an Apollo kitchen-god tonight and invent some flavours that nobody has known before. Just watch me!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Jerzy do you and your guy like mortadella, parmigiano, ricotta e spinacci on a pizza pasta? (Only good italian ingredients mixed together and so simple to make, I think you re gonna cook a good spinacci & ricotta torta tonight! Take it tonight...”
jerzy wrote
“Kissing, Alisue, will be for desserts, not for a starter, otherwise the food is not consumed and that was not the point!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“For a start Jerzy, don t forget that a good italian food is even better served with a well tonguy tongue worked french kiss! Makes me think of a song... I wanna kiss you in Paris, I wanna hold your hand in Rome ;-) (Oooch, sorry Pat, I stop now ;-)”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“OK Jerzy, I ll think of it and give you the perfect Italians-Do-It-Better meal in a few minutes. God, what are we going to make of this site if Kim keeps going on being captured in her lovely apron in picture? ;-)))”
jerzy wrote
“Give it to me!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Nothing smarter than a good italian dish my dear Jerzy, do you want some advice for a simple and classy italian meal?”
jerzy wrote
“It's only a pity that Kim doesn't feel this need to express her feelings and thoughts through music and words as she used to (to our great enjoyment, needless to say). But that will hopefully change in a not-too-distant future...”
jerzy wrote
“Inspired by you (and, let's face it, Kim's Tchibo pic) I'm also going to cook something for my partner tonight! Any tips for an inexperienced cook?”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Kim s love life is private of course and I m also 1 of her music lovers, but you must know that when you create in artistical processes your private life is a huge inspiration, especially in music. And through certain songs you can hear and perceive Kim s long and sometimes sad(d) way to finally meet "Mr Right" as she mentioned him before meeting Hal in '95, when reporting in an interview that she was "longing to meet her children s father"...”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Well we are 2 lucky guys. Everybody deserves Love, it gives such a sweetness in our hearts. I never knew that before because I ve always been a fighter (lack of self confidence...), you can read it in my posts sometimes. Thing is, I never want to fight but put myself in that no-go-zone situation when I feel insecure, I m also human... But for the first time of my life I met a guy who seems to be made for me, and I seem to be made for him too! It feels good inside...”
jerzy wrote
“I didn't know THAT! I must say I have always been more interested in Kim's music than her love-life. Especially when most stories you read in papers are pure nonsense. It is great, however, that she finally found her "second half" and she probably won't join the long list of celebrities who marry twice a year.”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Kim also had a love affair with a student in the beginning of the '90s. She met him in a club, he went to her and sang her the "Kids In AmeriKa" verse... Did you know that? He was only 19 and I wonder if she cooked for him ;-)))”
jerzy wrote
“It is, Alisue, it is. I can see you in your apron looking a little bit like Kim Wilde-kitchen goddess in her Tchibo pic! Your partner is lucky, that's for sure. ”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“It was very good, I m improving my cooking and everybody congratulates me about my fresh and balanced foods! When they do so it s going straight to my heart and I answer them "Well, it s made with love!" and everytime I m watching into my boy s eyes when saying so, I see teardrops of happiness. I want to make him happy, everyday more. He s a student and it s important having a good nutrition when you work with your brain, isn t it? ”
jerzy wrote
“Alisue, how was your cooking yesterday? Did you set the kitchen on fire?”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Yes Jerzy, you re right! Thing is: my little big heart s trembling everytime I m confronted to someone who s got other intentions than me about a common project. You know I need to be loved and it s gotta be strong to explain to someone who s dreaming of you that you re reserved to someone else, knowing I can be such a whore in the attitude... I never felt so good in a relationship than today at nearly 32 and I won t make a mess for a dance in the dark with an attractive man. I know I can do things in the right way and I will.”
jerzy wrote
“Alisue: both have their appeal and why not combining True Love with Eros Power. Two in one? ”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I found the answer on my own: it s True Love, because Love Is... Part Of The Eros Power! ”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Here s the question in 2 words: True Love VS Eros Power, who s the winner? It s my poll before the pouty pout! Why O why wasn t I born White Snow?”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I profuse my dear Jessie, errr Jerzy, sorry ;-) I profuse! I have a question today, maybe someone s got an efficient and global answer: I wonder if True Love is stronger thant the Eros Power, the temptations... I believe in the pureness of faithfulness and have in my faith my boy and in myself but we re surrounded by strangers, should we trust them Kim? Someone sent me a test for this week end and I hope I m gonna make the right thing. Errr, have you understood my question anyone? ”
jerzy wrote
“What a glorious day! I must have been infected with some of Alisue's exuberant happiness. It's the World In Perfect Harmony Day today! Have a perfect day everyone! Perhaps I'll do some gardening...perhaps NOT! ”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“It s the song I m currently listening to!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I think about you all the time...”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Makes me think of another *Mad On Air* so called coincidence that happened last time I went to New York in September '03 in an underground hotel Carlton Arms, I ll never forget that night in room n° 5 C, diamond written on the door, with a yellowed eyed grey cat jumping in my legs and every walls covered by *M*adgestiK pictures... Making love under her golden conical bras!”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I actually was 14 years old (I hate false infos, sorry) and I remember the magnificient colours and the perfumes. 1 day in the middle of the desert a man came to us on an old motorcycle and invited us to eat couscous in his "house". We followed him and we were welcomed in the smartest way of all by his wife beautiful smiling wife and daughter, they were really poor, living with nothing, but so happy. So far from our occidental and boring people needs. No Gucci or Prada there. Just bigger than life hearts! He was so cute... A few months before us he invited german tourists to eat and they gave him a tape with 1 side of Blondie and the other of Madonna. He became a fan and had a few photocopies of the blondes against his wall made of soil. We ate like Gods and slept closer to the stars than ever listening to a bad recorded tape of 2 occidental icons, I ll never forget! "... 'cause we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl..."”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“For your info Calanor, Sue Ellen Ewing s character was personified by the (great) actress Linda Gray. Sue Ellen s been her life s first role, she must love the character for that reason, but she also must hate it sometimes... It will follow her until the end and kept her from getting the credits she actually deserves as an actress. Just like mythical french Arletty who often reported in interviews that she hated the word "atmosphere" and promised herself never saying it again...”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“Ola Calanor! Nothing to compare between Kim and Sue of course, apart the '80s maybe. I remember a rumour launched in a germ teenagers mag (Pop/Rocky) in '83, soon after "Love Blonde" that Kim was flirting with 1 of the Denver Clan and that she was supposed to be a guest in an episode, just like Brad Pitt in Friends. It was all wrong of course but imagine a good fight in top of the building between AleXis ColBy and Kim because of a rich common lover, grrr! "Just go back for a second time in that cheap motel and never come back AleXis if you don t want my bro Rick to break you the left leg OK?" Well, that s far too american to feature our brit love blonde of course... When I was a child I loved Kim so much and she gave me such an inspiration that I saw her everywhere, all the time. Like Jeanne Mas used to sing in 1 of her most beautiful songs "Desperately seeking for her into the space, her perfume is floating around...", she was on every wall, on every TV screen, in every mouth and eyes I crossed. When I was 11 I went for 2 months in Morocco and that s during that trip I discovered that I actually was proud being a boy (...), crossing Spain by car on the return, I saw those letters KIM WILDE written in big on a house side and I was delighted to realise that the magiK was spreading around, like a perfume ;-) And Calanor, that s why I wrote you once I was glad of the idea of a spanish fan on the site. In my mind that could have been you, it wasn t but it s alright! ”
Boyed wrote
“Calanor: Yeah, the idea is really not bad. I read people's comments, but for most of them I don't know who is who and where from. I should dawdle over in contribution archive to find out something, that takes time. By the way, where are you from Calanor?”

“Alisue: Sue Ellen? About lips? Here, on a Kimmy forum? Hahaha! *wipes some tears from his eyes* Well, anyway, as for Brazil - I ask myself day after day why I haven't seen that film? Real odd, cos I love brit humour and brit films in gener1al and this one's obviously a classic. Weird.”

(I don t mean every words I ve just written but just a few, the rest is an ironical point of view about our times...) The real question is: "Who do we think we are to think we deserve to live forever?" Bye for now, AliSue s got to cook now, but my kitchen apron doesn t look like Kim s I have to say ;-) My apron is red is largely white written "KITCHEN BITCH" and don t wear anything under, my oven is so warm!

“Hey Wilders! Another sewing day for me... I m currently making a corset that goes upon a dress for an actress who ll wear it for the first time on the 14th of May in front of an audiance. I love it when clothes and costumes speak and give images on their own and when I introduced the director the idea of the corset in natural material he was delighted! We have decided together to play with it and while she s having a long self discussion about her discovery of sexuality she ll slowly undo every button of it to let it slowly slip on the floor and reveal a summery and floating bottle green dress, just like in an Edward Hopper painting. What I find fascinating in corsets is that they are both a protection and a cage, and I ll never have enough or those multi senses objects... Well Kim, now if you come and read us from times to times, don t you think that leather will be too heavy and warm for the summer? You deserve now something sweet like a caress... Let me think, yes! Ton truc en plume ;-) I thought you were so good looking with you scarf on your head last winter that I d put some black arabian kôal around your eyes and lots of violet and dark green foulards floating around you, like a fakhir in the house of Salomé... ”

“Lisa-WTV resident body language expert, flirtologist, fashion\makeup critic...Judgeing by this pic "chatting with Kimmy", Kim is thrilled at the prospect at meeting young cute tight 23 year old fan, who is well spoken,(not pervy old man my fathers age) and has a clue as to what what goods Kim has come up with over the last 23 years (which, coincidentally is the same year our precious reporter was born) This is a classic, "Kim is touched pose", which indicates that our precious reporter Rashid, has said all the right things! **Way to go rashid** Now the look- Very "I love 1981" new wave princess/view from a bridge inspired hair style, which has given a litte spunk to her conservative look and screams "I'm a pop star on a day off, not a full time gardener!" I'm proud to say that I own the exact same chocolate brown jacket..It's part of the Maurice Marciano GUESS collection and coordinates well with almost anything. Kim's makeup is very fresh looking, her skin is flawless (probably due to detox and a strict skin care regimen which was inforced on Kim by Joyce from the age of 15!) As much as I loath criticizing Kim (because she's so achingly nice and I was so envious of her look while growing up) I have to say 1)get rid of the green scarf, it's too "mumsy" "Mrs Fowler" attention drawing, and drains colour away from Kim's lovely complexion. Secondly, go for a more bee-stung lip look- with a natural beige lip colour. If you've got it baby FLAUNT IT!”
“I actually think they have done well here. The video does looke very early 90's, and I don't think it looks that cheap -I like the visual effects. One opportunity missed though -I think they should have shown Kim's bloke cheating on her, then in the latter part, for him to have been tied to that chair and Kim to slap him about -sort of like in gangster films -It would have made more of a storyline, and could have made some controversy, which would have got this video seen more. Fantastic song though! I give it 7/10”

We were the Kids in la Cigale like she sung during the 2nd concert... But no news about a venue in France this year indeed she will play in others countries... Another time perhaps !!!”

I've always thought she would make a great slapstick actress, at least ever since I saw her goofing around on a french TV show back in 86. Love her as Louise Brooks and as the star from hell with sunglasses: can't decide whether she's being Joan Crawford or Bette Davis or a mix of both but she's hilarious.”

She soon realised she had at least managed to stay free to do what she wanted and felt happy about that. I have an interviw from '96 (just before the new beginning) where she reports how happy she is to never have become a sad and lonely figure like Wacko or Debbie Harry. So just as she introduces the song in its live version from '92 you can hear on this very site, this song s about that, like a primadonna ;-)”

Sure never got into the Bowie league but it wasn t her ambition at all. I mean, the tour with Wacko also led her to see her own carreer with different eyes... Just before her Love moving in her stomach. Her question was: "What s the thrill of becoming an alienated Bambi alone in a bubble with his Bubble?" She for sure had a reaction after that experience. Instead of that, opening the Bowie show was a real honnor towards her, especially when you know how she sometimes been treated by the brit media. I m sure she s prouder of it too. Wacko likes Kim you think? Well, she only me him once, backstage and 2 minutes, the time to shoot the pic we all have in mind (she s beautiful on it by the way, I love her sincere smile).

JR, Bowie has made some beautiful and timeless songs (his last CD is great by the way), but he also was the first to build a decadent character, no matter if a boy or a girl, he tried to be an ensemble and did it with a unique charisma. He s my only memory of the "Christiane F" movie. He s a cultural icon and a truly inspired artist with a visionary spirit too. And he s sort of AliSue s Godfather, together with Nina Hagen ;-) My sister s name is Special Come (it s a decadent pop personality I invented when I was a child, she changed her style 20 times a day and I designed her records sleeves), she was my first creation and she was the fruit of all my icons mixed together with Nina Hagen + value. Back to Bowie, he did it before all the others and deserves a total respect, he s so special and sexy... I m proud of Kim she opened his concerts in the beginning of the '90s while I never got impressed by her opening Wacko a few years ago. Wacko is so-so you know...”

“JR: Kim Wilde in Russia was popular with "Another Step" and "Close" albums. As to "AAA" song with Nena, it is one of my most fav. at the moment. In Russia the song is not promoted and not familliar. I learnt about it through kimwildetv.com and the next day went and bought the CD and got the vidio.I often listen to it together with "Loved" song with my friends at the gym during our work outs. In Russia mostly Russian singer are popular and some American and European big names. I don't take charts serious, because they are made mostly by the voices of teenagers. Besides that, everything depends on a well promotion. Now the qualities of a singer and music is not so important to become a famous name. The populariy of such singers as Britney Sp., C. Aguilera, J. Lopes proves that. Sad, but true. They are nothing comparing to such powerful singers as Whitney Houston, Celin Dion, Maria Cary.Though it's my personal opinion.”

This album, her best since CLOSE, was hardly promoted at all, and the 2 (count 'em) singles were poor choices - BREAKING AWAY is one of the weakest tracks while LIFE & SOUL, HOLD ON or TRUE TO YOU could have been hits and lead the album into the charts. Of course had this been the case, Kim might have done a tour instead of Tommy and never met her husband so I'm sure she doesn't mind now :-) I always thought Kim was one of the few white artists who could write convincing soul and here she proved she was just as adept at RnB. Some fans might have been put off by such a drastic change of direction, and the singles didn't help her cause. But this was not the first time Kim reinvented herself musically (see CLOSE) and when the results are so good, who are we to complain?

“Massimo, unfortunately my job as a critic is focused exclusively on films and DVD. Of course I’m waiting for the day when the lady releases a DVD compilation so I can get a chance to interview her (the detox DVD has yet to be released here in France.) But since you ask, here’s my review for those 2 albums. THE VERY BEST OF KIM WILDE 2001 : I’m always ambivalent about Kim’s compilations since I don’t think her post RAK singles reflect her diversity and talent. (My dream compilation would probably be 80% album tracks and b-sides.) As far as this one goes, it’s a step up the previous one for a couple of reasons. 1 – The packaging : the sleeve is an old pic (featured in the Tommy programme), with a rather poor definition - still better than the 93 edition with its 4 not-so-hot pics, none of them distinctive as if they couldn’t make up their mind or find one with a decent hairstyle. More importantly, her liner notes are a bit more inspired and candid. I like how she adresses her « succes and failure » though I’m a bit puzzled that she would dedicate it to the Gods of Rock&Roll given the eventual direction of her music. 2 – LOVED, the extra track, is at least a decent one compared to the horrendous IN MY LIFE which sounded like it was put together 5 minutes flat before the deadline. But considering it’s 90% similar to her previous best of, it was a missed opportunity to repair some of MCA’s blunders, like not releasing CAN’T GET ENOUGH in the UK or some should-have-been singles like HOW DO YOU WANT MY LOVE. « Old » news maybe, but surefire hits nonetheless. Not to mention add a few more singles like HEART OVER MIND : granted not such a big hit but a creditable break from the europop routine. ”

As for being a girl trapped in a gay porn video, it's not as bad being a gay boy trapped in a girl's body. A gay porn video only lasts so long while a girl's body will last a lifetime, no matter how many times you "re-invent" yourself. If symptoms should persist, try some outdoor work like growing things in a garden, or indoor stuff such as inserting coffee in your colon while singing Kids In America to 4 years olds.

Somehow I have trouble getting scared by the phobias of anyone who so obviously needed a good shag, as they say in Kim's country.”

“Pat: The original The Haunting is superb - I was real freaked out when I watched it the first time! :) I really was annoyed at my pal for enjoying that idiotic remake! That is not to say that I have anything against Catherine Z.. Well, but anyway. Might have seen The House With The Laughing Windows, but ain't sure - they tended to translate a lot of stuff over here, especially during the 80s and before. As for the possible "insults", I have naturally seen those, though I must admit that it's been a while *ponders*”

I won't insult you by mentionning the obvious like Psycho, Rosemary's Baby or Angel Heart which I assume you have seen...”

“Pat: Which, come to think of it, makes me surprised that Lovecraft isn't one of the guys you do enjoy reading. Much of his stuff is after all based on psych horror. One of his main concepts was that insanity (eg caused by intense fear) is worse than death itself. By the way, this discussion is getting a bit weird, considering we're discussing this on a Kimmy forum - hopefully She doesn't visit it too often herself ;D”
Pat from Paname wrote
“Calanor, don't get me started on psych thrillers or we'll be at it all night. If you liked The Others, you should check out some of the movies it paid hommage to, like Jay Clayton's superior adaptation of the Henry James novella "The Turn Of The Screw" (which Child Come Away actually brought to my mind too the first time I heard it!) The movie is called "The Innocents" and stars Deborah Kerr in a performance that put Kidman's to shame. Also a movie called "The Other" (no plural) by Robert Mulligan which is another masterpiece: it is so restrained the first half almost plays like an episode of Little House On The Prairie. Except that it gets more and more sinister until you're absolutely freaked out by the end, without having seen one single violent image. Just know you will not sleep that night.”
Calanor wrote
“Pat: Well, in my book, psychological thrills is what makes a good horror movie. I get more disturbed dreams from those than the gory ones :) The mere fact that I put a smiley behind a sentence where I talk about my disturbed dreams might give you some suggestions of my sanity level, hee hee. Anyway.. Love psych thrillers, really, but unfortunately not many are made these days. Liked "The Others" though - was quite in my taste atmospherically and plotwise.”
Pat from Paname wrote
“As for associating Kim with horror, I once dragged a couple of friends to see Dario Argento's Tenebrae because I had heard they used Take Me Tonight as the musical theme. Unfortunately they only did that in a few, well, "select" countries and this was not it. Sat through one of the dumbest "gialli" for nothing, though the jaw-droppingly stupid dialog was almost worth it.”
Pat from Paname wrote
“Well I couldn't assure you 100% at this time of night but I seem to remember her citing this movie among her favorites. Actually as far as horror goes, it's very laidback and subtle, more of a psychological thriller. All atmosphere and suggestions, with an ending that is guaranteed to give you the creeps. I had read the Du Maurier story it's taken from so there was no big surprise for me but it still managed to creep me out.”
Calanor wrote
“Pat: Regarding Nicholas Roeg, I must admit that I never associated Kimmy with horror movies.”
Calanor wrote
“Pat: Oh dear, I woke up the bear, did I? ;) One thing that I always did find cheap with the vid though was the ending. I mean, this silly "atomic blast" (I assume) thing in the end? Your wrecked car idea is certainly more appealing here.”
Pat from Paname wrote
“OK, my "exactly, Calanor" didn't refer to you pointing out I had 22 years to come up with the wrecked car business ;-) Don't annoy me too much or I might... just ask Alisue. Oh, that's right. You CAN'T anymore. Poor dear. [smiling wickedly.]”
Calanor wrote
“Hmm, right, think I'll watch CCA again now, just to annoy Pat :D”
Pat from Paname wrote
“Exactly, Calanor. Which is why I think a really gifted director might have captured best the atmosphere and the power of the song. A really good example of this is Eurythmics' Love Is A Stranger video. D. Stewart said they wanted to convey the general feel of Nicholas Roeg's horror movie 'Don't Look Now' (which I seem to recall is a favorite of Kim's too.) They certainly succeeded. It's fascinating and unsettling without spelling out what it's about. Just like a Daphne Du Maurier short story...”
Calanor wrote
“Pat: And that wrecked car bit would probably have made a really good ending to the vid, actually :P On the other hand, you've had some 22 years to come up with that :D”
Calanor wrote
“Pat: Hmm, yes, I agree with your points, but I suppose I was more focused on the actual clip, than the underlying meanings of the song itself when I wrote that rating. Which might have been a mistake, but on the other hand I wonder if anyone has really figured out what the song is _really_ about. That might also be the problem with the vid - it tries to explain something that rather would not want to be explained. As always, in some cases a certain level of mystery is prefered - not everything gets better just cos you put a spotlight onto it.”
Pat from Paname wrote
“Disturbed, moi? How about those from the bayou? ha ha ha ha ha! (Vincent Price laugh)”
Pat from Paname wrote
“The other reason I don't like the CCA vid is understandably because of my worship over the song itself. Just like the movie taken from your favorite book will never measure up. I remember the night I first heard it (Actually I taped it from the radio but bought the single a few days later, as soon as I could afford it, OK?) I kept playing it over and over in the dark, trying to make out the lyrics and figure out the storyline. I loved its ambiguity, which could have made it just about anything. Just like the stuff of nightmares, when you can't remeber all the details but the general sense of dread... don't walk on the beach at night... you might end up like that girl... was she a mermaid washed ashore, away from all "the people she knew"? And would you care to know them too? What do mermaids feed on, do you know? Is she dead or alive? and that mark on the side of her face, could it be really down her neck? I guess that I'll never know what became of that driver who drove her out of town. But sometimes late at night, I have visions of a wrecked car - with no one inside...”

“Yes, Ricky is one of the good things in the video - there's more mystery in his attitude than in 90% of the vid.

“Pat: Regarding VFAB, I do agree - I love it as it is, especially the Red Widow scenes, which I actually remember finding a bit scary back then :) As for "restrained" singing, I think I have said something similar when I talked about "emotionally detached", which is extremely suitable for VFAB. Oh, and I am a Lovecraft guy, mind you *flashes you an insane smile* As for the CCA vid and the fact that it doesn't follow the lyrics well, I guess you do have a point. I still like the vid, but there's a vague possibility that some of this has to do with my general Select fanatism :D Also, I do like the concept of Kim acting the role as the child in the song and Ricky as the deputy. Amusingly enough, it looks more like big bro and lil' sis than the other way enough.”
Pat from Paname wrote
“I think the View From A Bridge video is quite fine as it is because it leaves everything to the imagination. Earlier today someone on this site (Schoolgirl or maybe Dgé) was talking about restrained singing being more stimulating to the senses because you have to get there instead of having it thrown at you. The "horror" I like is very much the same. I'm not so big on Stephen King or Lovecraft, much more on M.R. James or E.F. Benson; same with movies: Pupi Avati (The House With The Laughing Windows) is a great master of atmosphere, not gore. The VFAB video fits the bill - as a matter of fact I even used a cap from the VFAB video to illustrate a horror anthology once: the opening image, with Kim draped under a veil. As for Child Come Away, didn't they find her on a beach that night? Not "that drab english afternoon while surfing in the cold water"? ”
“Well, I must admit that unlike Cambodia and VFAB, it's the Select epoque vid that I can't recall exactly when I first saw it. Which might suggest that it did not do quite as much an impression on me back then, I suppose. Still, I don't mind the vid, even though I agree with some of your points. As for turning it into an outright horror vid, some might say that the same would apply to e.g. View From a Bridge (and yes, I do love that vid).”
“Very well Marc, A new dimension for this mervellous song!!!”
“Frankly Calanor, I remember being rather disappointed with this video even back in '83. Yes it does tell the story but fails to convey its venenous poetry. Instead we have a litteral illustration of the lyrics (do we need half a minute to explain the verse "Happy with the people she knew"?) and the result is pretty awkward, even for the early 80s. Around the same time Kim Carnes (Voyeur) Annabel Lamb (Riders On The Storm) or even Bonnie Tyler (Total Eclipse Of The Heart) had videos that were eery and atmospheric. Not only does this one fail on that level but it's so awkward it drags down the song with it instead of enhancing it. I can only dream what an italian horror director like Pupi Avati, or even australian Russell Mulcahy, could have done with it...”
“OK, kind of wondering why I haven't rated this yet? :) Well, here goes. Not surprisingly, I don't agree with the more sceptic critics here - while some parts of the vid certainly might feel a bit dated now, it was a pretty cool video back in 1982. I do agree that the extras on the beach hardly qualify for an Oscar, but the vid is overall quite OK and tells the story well. And Kimmy is Selectishly gorgeous! ;)”

I think the "boy you don t really love me" is funny clin d oeil and the laughing voices in the end are there to remember that it s better laughing from it all than crying like a cry baby, booh ooh ooh! Stefan s version is actually full of fun and humour, I imagine that song in a punky gay club with decadent boys on high heels à la second time drinking vodka straight from the bottle! ”
“Funny Dgé... I was about writing exactly the same impression about the "de-Tachment", I think it s even stronger that way and gives the song a taste of second degree, which is not bad at all. Anyway... let s put it that way: I was expecting you to write it! 1 of the reason why I love Françoise Hardy s singing is that detachment, that unique way not giving too much emotions (in other words, the anti Segara... Y a trop d'gens qui t aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiment et tournent autour de toiiiiiiiiiiiii, errr, you know what I think of it). Throwing it all in the face keeps the listener from building his/her own fantasy out of the song. Instead of that, a distance between the lyrics and the voice is an opened door to the listener s own emotions and I think it counts in the first place!”

“I can't agree with Calanor. This version is a really good one: the sound, the voice; it brings me back in the early 80's (Depeche Mode, Blancmange 'Happy families') and the 'detachment' as Calanor says suits so well to this song. Go on Stefan. I'd love to hear your new production ( may be VFAB with an engaged sound...) ”
“Her vocal performance is stellar and charming. She sings with a grace and ease that effortlessly matches the likes of Rosemary Clooney and Helen O'Connell. The dress is awful, however, and doesn't fit the occasion. She should have opted for Audrey Hepburn's little black dress instead of Victoria Beckham's seamstress's scraps. Sorry, but she has better taste than this. Minus a point! ”
“I disagree, Nena says that in the 80s it seemed more like she just got lucky, but now she feels that it comes from her...she clearly says that it is not about being egocentric. she says, in fact, that she now understands more how to appreciate it. ”

Pat from Paname wrote
“And something else: if a carreer depended on your weight, Aretha and Chaka wouldn't have one. You can always shoot a sleeve around someone's extra pounds (check the Born To Be Wilde sleeve). I doubt a silly tabloid would screw a record company's plan to make millions out of an album. Obviously something else got in the way. Maybe they thought they would shelf it until she lost weight, THEN changed their plans: MCA ket having management upheavals from what I read, and around that time they decided to ditch a whole batch of acts, including long-standing ones. The beginning of a great aera: money-grabbing sharks more interested in short term profits than in the building/nurturing of carreers. I too would find bugs and plant-eating vermins a better company.”
Pat from Paname wrote
“I beg to differ, jerzy. I can tell the difference between Kim today and Kim circa Here & Now tour 2001, which was quite... errr, noticeable. My point however is that I've always found her womanly curves beautiful - this is a true test of real sex appeal, which doesn't hang on few pounds. I suspect that in a few decades, people will look be puzzled by the "stick with hair" look popularized by Hollywood and the fashion world, and applaud someone with a natural, human-sized body like Kim.”

“She's headlining a concert in Gaisbach, Germany on june 20th. Maybe they want her to have a single ready to launch there. Whatever they do, I hope sh'll have enough confidence, and artistic licence, to do something a bit more daring and less safe than another cover version. Her voice sounds at its best now, why not make the most of it and do a really soulful ballad like How Do You Want My Love? Or gritty rock'n'roll like Putty In Your Hands - ok, THAT was a cover but so brillant (better than the original even). I'm sure german audience would react well to her going back to rock. ”

At least she was honest! A different, more outstanding song would probably do better in the US following YKMHO massive success. Having said that, hey, Marc, we have different tastes and it's great that Kim's music is so varied that it accommodates all of them! This I swear :-) ”
“I never understood why this song was not a hit, especially in the USA. It's a real funky tune, I just love it especially the "doya" part. If I were a musician, I would sample it 'cos it's so catchy. And this live version is tremendous. I recommend to everybody the US 12" single, featuring three great remixes of this song, contrary to the UK 12"remix which is very weak, to my opinion.

“Marc, I'm with you on the View From A Bridge look. This was Kim's 'semi-punk' look at its peak. Tomboy-ish but so damn sexy and mysterious. Around the time of CATCH AS CATCH CAN, I had the feeling that look was becoming a drag for her but she didn't really know how to ease out of it. And now I have to confess that Ia ctually liked The SECOND TIME look the first time I saw it. I especially liked the Alice In Wonderland Of Hell hairstyle, only realising later those were extensions :-) And no, I still don't think much of that song.”

“Calanor, I was referring to Schoolgirl's (I mean the poster, not the ong - why do I suddenly feeel a headache developping?) OK? Schoolgirl's enthusiastic reaction to the "male eye candy" she spotted, of all places, in THE TOUCH video. For some reasons I imagined that poor kid in america, who can't even get to watch a nipple on TV these days, happening upon the SAY YOU REALLY WANT ME video - the uncensored version, yet to be shown here, where Kim gets it on with FOUR rather unclothed guys. In the same bed. I could already see the headlines: "Schoolgirl Surfing Sex Site Suffers Stroke."”
“Is it fact or fantasy ?? That's a GREAT performance from Kim who sings exquisitely. She looks delicious, she has the attitude (the leather, the long hair, that very special pout..). Plus she sings to a sligtly different version of VFAB : the drums are a bit heavier and there's a sax break. I'm pretty sure this was performed in autumn'82 right before the start of her first live tour. That's the period I like best : the songs were all fantastic and she looked stunning as a tomboy. Definitely my kind of girl!”

In addition, the tremendously underrated (or so I believed!) Child Come Away ended up at #5, which is way better than I could have ever hoped for when it comes to this song that I have loved for 22 years - and which "flopped" due to obscure reasons. Disappointments? Bitter is Better with 3 votes - that is an outrage. It definitely deserved quite a few more votes than that, for Heaven's sake. Also, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree deserved way more votes just for the easy-going and humouristic approach of the song (as well for the cause). I remember seeing it back in -87 or so - I loved it then, and I still do :) Surprises? Well, Take Me Tonight, really. I love that song, really, and voted for it basically every time, but I did not really expect it to get that high a position - for some time it even reached (correct me if I remember incorrectly) #1.

She certainly doesn't deserve to be ignored, but Jessica Simpson does. Kim is a wonderful, natural performer who doesn't need to show off, she isn't excessive in delivery, and she truly seems to have a strong sense of basic decency--not to mention she's extraordinarily beautiful. She's my favorite singer--even more than Princess Kylie, and that's saying a LOT! ”

Tu me prends vraiment pour un débile ou quoi?"... Changement de train à Valence, contrôle des billets, Alex blême... "Merde, je suis trop con! J ai perdu mon billet!", M en face de moi mort de rire "je te l ai demandé en plus!", moi "merde merde merde! Va falloir que j amadoue le contrôleur à casquette!", ça a marché, tu imagines. J ai rien eu à payer en plus. A côté de moi il y avait un couple de retraités tellement mignons! La dame m a dit "Oublier votre billet dans un autre train, vous devez être amoureux alors!", moi rouge "heu... peut être oui!", M en face mort de rire. La petite dame, drôle et adorable, m a raconté toute sa vie, ses 3 enfants, ses 42 ans de mariage, son mari connu sur les bancs d école à 14 ans, comme elle a peur à Marseille, comme les gens aujourd hui ont perdu le sens de la famille. A chaque fois que la nana nous criait dans le haut parleur le prochain arrêt, on sursautait ensemble et il criait "O la la et les cardiaques alors? Elle connaît pas la psychologie ou alors elle a mangé de la vache!". Arrivés en Savoie ou ils débarquaient je leur ai demandé "quels sont vos bagages qu on vous aide à les descendre? Les rouges et noirs là?", elle "oui comme la chanson de Jeanne Mas!", moi "oui oui oui, en rouge et noir!".

Pat from Paname wrote
“So this is it. In the summer of 83, the week Love Blonde was released, there was a big article on Kim in one of the weekly top pop mags (Smash Hits I think). The interviewer ended it by mentionning the last time he saw her at some pop awards, where she did "Chequered Love" and ended up completely engulfed by the smoke from the stage. To which she replied: "And those disgusting boy and girl making out on that motorbike! I was so embarrassed! I was just so embarassed! This is never, ever, going to happen to me again!" Obviously the writer had Chequered Love mixed with VFAB, which makes sense(I remember wondering why she would still be doing Chequered Love as late as 82.) And Kim's embarassment makes sense too in the light of what I've just seen. I thought at the time she was being a bit... well, "british" (don't hate me Rashid, Pauluck and anyone else, just remember that Mary Whitehouse was well and alive at the time.)Now I understand how she felt. This is so tacky, even for the early 80's, you almost wonder if it's not meant as comedy, like some SNL or the french "Collaro" show. All the pity cos it's a great performance, one of the best live ones of her early carreer. Her voice sounds so fresh even its limitations work in her favor. Not to mention that she was at the peak of her "semi-punk Wilde" look. The hair just right. The moody look down to a pat. The legs... The mouth... sigh.”
“Nice perf, good sound, I thought, a little bit too much smoke ... I couldn't see the band that was actually there, I discovered in the end ! LOL, the scenario with the bikers is just not appropriate, although despite the subject, this is probably a good song to make love on ... isn't it ? ;-)”
“Vey good performance, though not everyone thought so apparently... That couple of bikers in the audience seemed very distracted. Very unprofessional of the cameraman to take his eye off Kim...”
“What a treat! Kim enveloped in smoke like a ghost is not that inappropriate considering what she sings about. And her singing is almost faultless, plus there is a saxophone solo (probably Gary's) as a bonus. It's only that very weird couple - shouldn't they be making love in a little less public place?”
“What can I say? This is better than the original version!”
“Your enunciation is so good, you could make it here in the states. Have you ever been here? You're vocals are more clear than Basia Trzetrzelewska's, and she has been.”
“Your voice is as appealing as George Michael's or Josh Groban's. Shop labels, dude!”
“Wow, Pierre! You have a great, smooth voice. It reminds me a bit of Dack Thatcher from Johnny Hates Jazz. Very nice AC/jazz song.”
“What a surprise. I didn't know you could culminate a dance rhythm out of this old new wave ballad. You have a gift!”
“Yup, I really like this remix. A bit modernised, yet still very true to the original - in many ways, it sounds like it could have been an official, extended version of this classic song. Good work, Marc!”
“What a fantastic idea! This very nearly sounds like a mutual collaboration between KW and GM. Excellent!”
“Well, you get my vote. You're very good a remixing and making the old songs sound fresh rather than outdated. I love Kim's music from any phase, but this is a very nice facelift. ”
“It feels outright weird to view a VFAB performance I have not seen previously and _not_ give it a 10... But I agree with Schoolgirl - the biker couple is an embarassment. Kimmy's performance is a definite 10 - I love to be able to watch a live performance of this song from back in 1982. All rock chick too, with the marvellous Select hairstyle. *dreamy look on his face* But unfortunately, the couple does spoil things a bit :/”
“Excellent remix, very Kylie-esque. Makes me want to dance!”
“Hey, I like the way you softened up the raggae aspect of the song and made it more danceable. It reminds me of the same rhythm on Duran Duran's Planet Earth. Nice job! ”
“Sorry, but that biker couple has got to go! Also, there's so much smoke I expected to see firemen pull up at any time. Kim's fine, but she looks a bit uncomfortable. Yeah, well, it's probably that couple...or smoke inhalation... ”
“Again, a very good live performance full of pure exuberance. She is a rarified gem in a sea of female pop clones (yes, I'm an aspiring music and film critic, but amateur all the same!) Speaking as a heterosexual female, her legs are killer! ”
“This is a wonderful performance--very close to the studio version from Love Moves. As a newcomer here, and one of the few Americans who loves KW's music, it's wonderful to see a performer who doesn't show off like so many here and attends to business at hand. Very nice!”

Nena s boyfriend in her early years was her drummer, Rolf while the band keyboardist was her sister s boy, her name was Nane (wouarf! wouarf!). Nena was famous for her jealousy crisis in public by the time, I remember having watched a video documentary about her that consisted of following her on her first tour. My mum (I forced her) was watching it with me and told me "sorry my son but this girl is boring and thinks she s the centre of the world. I m not interested, watch her on your own..." I didn t understand 'cause I loved her hystery. My mum always loved Kim Wilde and always told her friends when they asked about my passion for her "well, he s got good taste, the girl is smart!" Watching them sitting 2gether on the sofa 20 years after, I understand why my mum loved Kim and thought Nena didn t deserve all that fuss around her. Mum was not always wrong!”

Still, "Love Is" have a host of strong pop tunes that I cannot neglect - Million Miles Away and of course Love Is Holy comes to mind. Strong songs, but not the kind of songs that made me hooked onto Kimmy back in 1982 :/”

“That's ok, but I must say that I really am a huge fan of all her music. "Kids In America" is my all time favourite song of hers and that's RAK.

“Back in 1981, you could not possibly avoid hearing this one playing just about anywhere here in Sweden. I even remember the first time I heard Kids - it was in a restaurant during, I believe, the early summer of 1981. That's more than I can say about many other songs. Still, it never was any of my favourite songs and I didn't appreciate Kimmy for real 'til I heard Cambodia half a year later or so. Still, I appreciate Kids much more today, both the vid and the song. Can't say that the vid is outright great, but I know it was made in haste and it shows off a not fully secure Kimmy taking her first steps. For that reason alone, one cannot help to love the video.”
“She looks very sexy, glamourous and voluptuous here, and seems to captivate the audience with this beautiful rendition of this beautiful song. A great performance.”
“Sha ba da ba da... Gé, ce s'ra jamais nous! Love will not say good bye on Friday, but Hello, hello, hello again! This is over kitsch but I must admit it s special to me as I ve touched and touching for the very first time on "Close"...”
“I don't really get the setting of this vid and I would assume that neither did Kim. Still, it's a good vid in the sense that it shows off Kimmy's rock chick attitude in a good way - always withdrawing from the cam but still looking you straight in the eye. Very sexy, yet untouchable. And of course, we've got the shower scene, something a kid around 12 had some problems getting out of his head the first time he saw this vid. Oh, those were the days :P”
Rashid wrote
“Yeah, they have the 70s version of "Shame" on the karaoke near me, which is the only other Kim related song I've seen on there. Oh, it would be so great to get to sing "Shane" though. This is definately one of my favourite RAK songs.”
“Kim, this used to be my video! Now I know where my pearls ended... Send them back to me!”
“O my God, such a sensuality in the eyes! Kim, you re a real sex symbol and there s nothing you can do about it ;-) When I see you that way, makes me wanna dive into the green blue of your eyes... If love is sexy, then you re the definition of love my dear teenager testosterone booster!”

“Alisue: In my opinion, there is no question about the splendid combination of Marty-Ricky-Kim. Much as you say, getting listed on the charts every time you release a single isn't what it's all about. Let's hope that future releases will feature the dad-bro-sis combo once again.”
Alisue Xtasy wrote
“I think that the Wilde Power was the result of that family alKimmy, you know, the dad-bro-sis thing. They should have understood soon that they were stronger that way. Their first out of family affair essay was "Dancing In The Dark", considered as a failure and making Kim so sick that she related in interviews while promoting it that she didn t enjoy playing that number, what a promo... The Wildes were like fishes in their RAK aquarium that opened a door to a new ocean called Select Sound Studios. As long as they didn t let the MCA sharks in, everything was alright. You know, 1 single from time to time that doesn t reach the top 5 doesn t mean your carreer is fading away. I think the Wilde team was as strong as fragile and people around Kim should have wondered more "what does SHE want to do from here?". ”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: Agree, it's not (mainly) about nostalgy. When it comes to the music, I agree that it was more inspired and perhaps more importantly original and fresh, during the RAK days. Even though her songs reached respectable positions on the charts, I never considered her to be "mainstream" back then. With the switch to MCA - and IMO in particular with the release of Another Step - her whole career shifted towards a more commercial/"please the masses" approach. IMO, that might have been an effective short-term strategy but it didn't last in the long run.”

“Hi JR! I wouldn t call it a "nostalgy", what s been done is behind and 1 of music s quality is to last for ever, so no, I don t see myself as a nostalgiK RAK times boy. It s just that Mart and Rick and their love blonde were a lot more inspired during the first years, I mean musically. I m not talking Kim s looks or dresses or hair here. I m talking about her music. And things started to go wrong a long time before the mid '90 my dear. It was actually a 2 times failure. She first lost a lot of her (french) fans in '83 (they thought they had lost their rock chick) and then, 1 year later, after having prayed for a sulfurous come back, "Teases & Dares" enjoyed a certain success, but confidential for sure. Her real second time arrived as a surprise in '88 and her commercial (and great) "Close" return. We all know what happened after.”
Calanor wrote
“Alisue: It goes without saying that I absolutely adore the first three albums. I like a lot of what you'll find on Teases and Dares too, but if you consider the fact that I basically love every single track on the previous releases, that suggests that things were not moving my way. :/ As for MCA, I read about a US KW fan's collection some time ago - as he goes through his items, he also shares his thoughts about Kim's US career and how it was managed. Some might find it an interesting read - here's the uhh link.. Hey, Pierre, you removed the instructions of how to create links..! OK, I'll try it: [LINK=http://www.shado-x.com/kimwilde.txt]”

I thought Kim's popularity started to go down in mid 90's luck of Kim's personality, You can't blame MCA EMI or anyone, Kim said "I became less and less ambitious, and then i lost it, but to be a Pop star you have to have an Ambition wheatever you like it or Not" Well even she knew she Could have done it so much more then just releasing Singles...MCA did few Bad "Choices of Singles" Like Its Here, Time, Heart over mind etc...But everything is irrelevant, in my opinion Personal phsycologicly speaking After Michael Jackson Tour Kim felt on TOP way on TOP QUeen of Pop even, then "she was like ok i achieved Everything, i have everything there is , Looks , $, MAN around the world just admire me" Whats next? She just lost her inner ambition..Then Its' Here followd up "kind of little depressed Kim" im Glad Love is changed that”

“I personnaly think that the MCA move made the Wilde project losing their first breathe inspiration. As you re a debut fan, you also must think that what they did on 3 albums is amazing, from pop rock to disco without forgetting the fabulous elEctrOselEct (her masterpiece without any doubt)... MCA tried to analise what people were exepting from Kim and they got it all wrong. Kim, in a first place was all but not a 1 hit wonder. Her 3 first albums are coherent from song 1 to 10 (11, ok...), I love WiggyKimmy daring to tease what s inside a boy s pant through a marketing process but let s face it, that s where things started to go wrong. Teases had lost that coherence between the songs and the result is more like a collection of (great) songs packed together, 10 exactly to make an LP. Let s work her as a Barbarella soft version and try to send it to the world. Things don t work that way 'cause we re not all stupid (look at us here ;-) and we like our wilderness for her quintessence. That s why Kim s carreer slowly became a parody of itself. Nobody asked her to play the sluts, if not MCA. I never like MCA s behavious towards Kim. She deserved a lady treatment and never got it from her record company...”

“Alisue: Hmm, that Schoolgirl sounds a bit silly - but that's not to say that I'd mind seeing some pics from the promo :D Anyway, weird how Kimmy left RAK cos she felt that people were trying to gain too much control over her career (correct me if I remember incorrectly), yet MCA most definitely took control over many aspects, at least stylistically. The Barbarella look for starters (not that I personally mind it..), as well as - I would assume - this Schoolgirl promo.”

I became a fashion creator because of those 2, not forgetting the first 1, when I was a little boy aged 9, she got married to a "royal" brit with big ears and her wedding dress was 14 meters long on her way...

“Hello Wilde people, It has been a while, reading the comments on this site is hot enough to have some launch a fatwa on most free spirits expressing themselves here. I think it`s funny, and kinda cool to have people talk about so many issues - and themselves - through a website dedicated to Kim. Just watched the Kids video, nothing to say but Waow! although I think she looks even cooler on Chequered Love. But the song, what a landmark stone in our hearts and minds! There were a few comments her about the return of Agnetha. The album is still due April 20 if I`m not mistaken, and you can hear a few excerpts on www.agnetha.se. Her voice, personnality, insecurities have always touched me. I met her briefly in 1983, during the promotion of "wrap your arms around me", just like I met Frida in 1982 for "Something`s going on". The latest news, from an interview published last week with Bjorn, is that she is refusing to do any promotion AGAIN, when she thought she could until a month ago, after years of therapy to overcome her fear of flying, of crowds, and of stalkers ( she had a relationship with a dutch fan despite the advice of friends and family) and it ended up with a restraining order. I`ve been on the macrobiotic detox diet for the past three months, lost three pounds, and go swimming everyday, doing mostly butterfly. I know Kim chooses mostly organic produce, and I also believe that despite the mark-up, it`s all so worth it, for our own health and for the planet. Little things we CAN do. Lisa helped me get back on WTV, thank you Sweetie. Oh, we had the Queen of England in our lounge two days ago, but my shift began 15 minutes later, and I missed her by 15 minutes. She was heading for France for the Centennial of the Entente Cordiale between France and England. Ok, I`m almost done. Could someone tell me if it is just me, but I like "World in perfect harmony" as much for its male chorus as for Kim`s "acidulee" voice. There`s something almost "orgasmic" about that refrain, anybody else feels that way, or have I just made a fool of myself publicly here? Last thing: Pierre, is this really you on the new avatar pic? Well, I suppose it is... You `re looking good, French Man!! And Alisue, sans contrefacon, es-tu un garcon? Philippe in London.”

Listen dear Jerzy, there s 1 french singer I love, his name is Etienne Daho (Kim loves him to, she mentioned him a few times and made a little dance routine with him and Jimmy Sommerville about 2 centuries ago...), 1 of the reason why I love his lyrics is that you can t know if he talks about a girl or a boy, it s an entire thing, a full thing. I love that very fact. Like, remember Björk s "All Is Full Of Love"? She has chosen while writing the lyrics to use only words that can be both female or male. Isn t it beautiful?

“Lisa, eating, drinking, laughing are part of the process of living our lives the closer to harmony, just like sex. So, even if too many snacks sometimes and an improbable 6 pack, flesh is better! I ve been close to anorexy last year, in total control with my brain on my body, I had 1 goal: looking fabulous and perfect. I got it but the more I was building my body like in the magazines, the more I was losing my taste for sex, sure you understand what I mean. Life is not only about control, life is also about spontaneity. Remember what Maria De Medeiros answers to her lover in "Pulp Fiction" when talking about her potty belly? "Even Madonna had it when she sang "Lucky Star"", laying on her bed with a melancholy in the eyes... The more we tend to control everything, the more our lips become thin. I like mine to be voluptous and fool of blood ;-) ”

I would even say I haven t taken Love for a few years and slowly fell into some kind of illusion of it giving myself to the ones who didn t deserve it. I was missing something badly. I have found it now and it s a wordless feeling. I m grateful everyday, I couldn t fell better than on my contrary, that means that he doesn t give a f**k of my looks when we go out, he loves me for myself and sometimes the showman in me is screaming "Where do I go from here?", I m a lucky guy. I know it and give my best to make it shine everyday more. It works well actually!”

“Oh but I do understand Ali S, even after more than 15 years of true love I can still sometimes get a feeling that creeps under my skin and tells me that I'm not loveable anymore or whatever...but then again sometimes it's good to get the reminder that love is not to be taken for granted. Remember some fine woman once sang: Love will strip you leave you naked - and that is so true, vulnerable and easy to shake. Without the love there is nothing to fear, and that's why the world is such a hateful place. Sometimes it's easier to face a world with no fears rather than filled with love. Nothing to lose, nothing to fear...”

I know, I know, she sings in such a British accent though) Fav Parts 1)When she gives that really tough girl look and slaps the guys hand off her shoulder (so cool, I'll have to do that one day!)2) The way she seductively moves behind the fence 3) The overall pout..I WANT THAT POUT and no amount of lip liner will ever help me achieve that pout.

We were taking ourselves so seriously and people were acting like servants with our arrogant behaviours... It s all in the bells sounds! Even if we were more into Madonna and her Sednaoui s Fever, Kim did it in the shadow, and quite good! During that time was born someone you all know now, AliSue ExTasY!

But after all the arguments about Kim s flesh in the leather during the H&N tour, I would say exactly the same about Nena. Yes she is mega thin but has she noticed how ridiculous her outfit looks like? I mean, even Anastacia dresses better, which means something! I give a 10 for Kim because she s so touching, closing her eyes to push to emotion further... I give Nena a 10 also for keeping fit until today, but the girl needs a stylist for God sake!”

Thing is european always criticize americans blaming them to be stupid and superficial but europeans always end up doing the same mess, in a dramatic version. Where realTV started as fun in the US, it became a sad and poor reality in Europe. But Europe is great too, rich of its History and different cultures, just for food I think I would miss Europe badly if I had to live in the States. All that to tell you that I love America and that I ll come to San Francisco (my best friend lives there in a beautiful house with his boyfriend and their dog. God! That US dog culture is hilarious! When I went last year we often went in pet shops with the boys and my friend s boy bought all sorts of toys for the dog, I was dying laughing!) and of course I ll come to New York, for the fun, for the inspiration, for the large horizon, for all the opportunities it gives. And to meet you and your fabulous friend JR for a crazy crazy night out in town? I would love it!”

“This has got to be one of my favourite KW videos, though I freely admit that the dress certainly is a major reason for this. *wolfish grin* Still, the video is quite cool and Kimmy's real foxy in it. Love the scene when the whole band is standing together, snapping their fingers - that's just groovy! :) I have to agree with Rashid, though - that part when she sings "Now you see her, now you don't" usually makes me laugh out loud.”

I agree with what Kim said during the Love Is promotion - Million Miles Away is indeed a pure melody. That and Kim's gorgeous voice makes this one into a pretty strong pop song. The video itself is excellent - very stylish, very romantic and suits the song perfectly. And Kim is, once again, breathtaking in it.”

What's the point though - I'd prolly pass out anyway ;D”
jerzy wrote
“Calanor, you're taking the words out of my mouth. In 82/83 Kim was an avant-garde artist, innovative musically and lyrically, ready to explore new territories, setting new trends (and I'm not talkin about her hairstyle). Unfortunately lack of commercial success pushed her in the other direction and in 1988 Kim was just one of many pop singers (even though to me she was still one of a kind). Don't you think? ”

“Oh, yes, you could say that again, Calanor, Child Come Away is just exceptional and far superior to You Came (I can say that safely, since Wildestorm is now gone). But seriously, even though I love You Came for its melody and summer atmosphere, it is just pure pop, a simple love song without any ambitions, while Child Come Away is a song that has this veil of mystery wrapped around it, can be interpreted in many ways and is simply very original. That's what I think. ”
Calanor wrote
“*gives Wildestorm a firm stare* Let's face it? Hrmmpff... It might have escaped you, but Child Come Away is in fact, seriously, no pun intended or anything, one of Kimmy's most brilliant songs written during her most brilliant period. :P”

I can't shake lose, I can't shake lose...Only a girl like Agnetha could get away with a song like that, and she did. As for "You came" I won't get into again why I just want it into the top 5, I'm sorry to say anything bad about the final 7 songs, but let's face it, it is better than CCA even though it's a classic.”

“Oh, realised that I should add that I was refering to the VFAB vid. The lyrics is as mysterious (in some ways) as many other Kimmy tunes from that time. As Lisa said - it's been 22 years and I am still not sure what "'Cos when I look below the bridge I see it's me" actually means. But as English's never been my native tongue, I was never sure about the interpretation. ”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: I agree about CCA - child abduction is basically what most people think it's about and I think most of that impression was based on the vid. Anyway, I did enjoy those little stories, even though I do love VFAB which definitely does not fit into that category. Sing It Out For Love is a good example, jerzy, but the same goes for many early Kimmy songs, be it from the debut, Select or CaCC. All in my most humble opinion, of course.”
jerzy wrote
“The whole song is a bit of a mystery and perharps here lies its attraction. Besides it came from the times when Kim's songs used to be little stories and could be easily expanded into full length dramas with a little imagination. Like SING IT OUT FOR LOVE is a ready script for a movie.”
Calanor wrote
“Not sure. I don't even think I knew it was Kimmy that sang it the first times I heard it. Still, I think I am sort of a fan of the "dark" side of Kimmy - Water on Glass, Cambodia, View From a Bridge, Child Come Away.. You get the picture. My interpretation? Well, I know that it's hardly original, but child abduction is about the only thing I can come up with. But seriously, the title "Child Come Away" doesn't make sense to a Swede - somebody care to explain? I should have asked that question 22 years ago, but better late than never :D”

“Yeah, over the years those gossips about ABBA reunion appeared every now and then but nothing ever happened... just like with Kim's new album we're all so impatiently awaiting. As for Frida, I just love some ABBA songs in which she is a lead singer such as THE VISITORS or LIKE AN ANGEL PASSING...(and her solo effort SOMETHING GOING ON with Phil Collins on drums was also excellent). It's a shame that such talented artists choose to remain silent. ”
Calanor wrote
“jerzy: I have no idea what Frida's up to these days. There was some talk about a reunion (a temporary one, at least), but that was apparently just false rumours. Odd enough, it seems like Agnetha has had the tendency to the one who's been most reluctant to some sort of reunion, yet now it seems to be the other way around. If one is to be a little bit cynical, it's perhaps not that strange, though. A one-night reunion or something would most likely be a good promo for her new album. But Frida..? No idea - guess I was always more into Agnetha, heh. I agree though that Frida's got a great voice, but in my opinion it was the harmony between Agnetha's and Frida's voices that made ABBA into what they became. That and very well-written songs, of course.”

The first I saw her live was in Lausanne (Switzerland) in '84 during the "Rage To Rock Tour" and till that day it remains 1 of the stongest memories I shared with my dad. He s a musician and never liked the music I liked and at the end of the concert when he told me "well, she can sing and I have to say she s not helped by her rough band", I was delighted to have my dad s approbation of Kim being a good singer! I was a kid, I was only 12 and Rick, pouting even more than his famous sister, signed me autograph with nonchalance... I still have it somewhere. Voilà JR!”

“I couldn't agree more on "It's here" being uplifting and suitable for the spring - it just gives me a happy feeling. Today actually it's exactly 19 years since I first saw Kim live in Copenhagen on her Rage to rock tour. I remember it as magical and something I'd never imagined. I was first row for the first I guess 3 songs, but when "Bladerunner" came on I almost start crying as people were pushing and I loved that song and couldn't hear anything. So I went back and enjoyed the rest of the concert a lot better from a distance. The autographs in a room by a table and the chasing the Taxi down the street just made me feel like a fan more than ever at the time. Mind you I wouldn't chase a taxi these days...I think!”

“In spite of I've wriiten earlier, I must add that for me IT'S HERE is a quintessential spring song. I enjoy listening to it when spring wakes everything and everyone up to new life.

“1 of the few elements that made Kim grow in our hearts till today is her voice. That unique voice we can recognise among 1000 and 1. We use our hands to give, to receive, to grab, to design, to write, to sew, to wash... We use our mouths to kiss, to eat, to sing, to speak. We use our eyes to see, to exchange, to enjoy the Beauty, to sleep. The most beautiful is when all elements come together, when the words written by the hand happen to fit the mouth that belongs to the person we have in front of us. A voice through a phone that sounds familiar can fill our hearts of tenderness. When nothing seems to fail, there s a unique feeling coming through our body and a little voice whispers in your ears "it s only love...". We can think that Kim s success as a singer happened by accident, the rest is History and we all are part of this History now, her History and that s 1 part of the Beauty of Life. She said in '96 that she d rather watch the moon from her patio than hangin' with the "in" crowd in a trendy Soho club. I m currently watching the moon and I know you re watching it too. The moon belongs to us tonight, now & forever! Good night sweet voice and see you very soon! Alexandre le p'tit suisse”

It has been my favorite Kim Wilde 12" single for a long time : on the A-side, a completely crazy version of "The Second Time" à la Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and on the B-side, an extended version of "Lovers on the beach" (almost 8 minutes long!). What a treat ! ”
“I first heard Cambodia in early 1982 and believe that I saw the video a few months later. I was absolutely stunned... It's the song (and video) that made me start listening to Kim and thus it holds a significant sentimental value to me :) Cambodia has been one of my absolute favourite songs/videos for the last 22 years - that's probably a pretty high rating.”
“LOL this is i believe her 1st video and her biggest hit? its funny how videos changed nowdays”
“What hot video, i don't think i had seen this video for "Shame" wonder why wasn't it big hit...im so proud of confident Kim wilde is looking at those Gardening photos, it takes a real woman to show her age, she is not afraid of showing that she has little wrinkles, but still i think She is the sexiest woman on the planet, she has this something special in her i don't know what is it but for sure she Turns me On big time :) lucky guys standing behind her mhhhhh now my mind is getting little dirty, lets not go there ”
