“I'm looking for some fans who have met Kim I can interview and quote in an upcoming biography on Kim I am working on. I'm sure you will agree that such a book is needed. But I need interviews desperately otherwise the biography will be pointless. The form is to explore from different angles her personality, her talent, and her image changes over the years. I can go ahead and review her life and careers myself, which I will do of course, but something important will be conspicuous by its absence. If you are interested, please let me know as soon as possible so that the flow of the book can come together quickly while I am preparing the structure of it. Thank you.”

“Hi James, I gave up on the internet for a while,too much to do elsewhere. Still doing the same things,tomorrow we play at a private party for a few thousand people. Its where I used to be a member of the clay pigeon shooting club Its the Olympic site for the UK,and we play there for their summer party. Lots of music and champagne,there are chalets ,campsites and hotels so everyone stays and has a late night. I see Kim is on a UK tour again,I'm not here when she plays Bournemouth area,but I'm sending my friends. Just got back from Tenerife and its hotter here,phew! ”

“The woman's magnetic &once again shows how exceptional she is by turning an out-of tune dated old dirge to a powerful, ball-busting frenetic explosion of surging life. She always been as brilliantly smart & topnotch with cover versions as she is with her own stff. "Putty In Your Hands" is her best ever cover-so much so it's more like an original song-she certainly made it so. I'm SO pissed this carries on the trend of being released nowhere but Germany & they couldn't even appreciate it. Worse, it comes with the last know proper B-side she's ever put to a single & I can't find either anywhere at the moment. Sadly all the Never Say Never songs do not boast her usual quota of 2 deicious B-sides an album. But she's WILD on this show.”
“I'm SO glad Kim got involved in something so all-round pleasing charitywise cos she was never on Bnad Aid, really crippling it, and worse, wasn't there for Live Aid where of course that skank bitch from hell Sadonna use the moment 2 firmly wedge itself in2 the nation's nasty bits. There's a lota cheese around at ANY time of the year these days & I'm being kind with that term. Obligingly funny vid, with Kim a gr8 prize to stuff ur stocking with. Polka dots r a big non-no but it's 1987 and she can do anything. In fact 2 of the best K girls-her & Kirsty MacColl had the 2 best Christmas songs out that year. 10/10 christmas pud of fun this vid-& Pierre, as ever you've one such a wicked job putting this altogether. I salute!”
“Here it is. Case in point, this video is better than the song-the song that one Rashid don't need played at clubs as all act like it's her only one anyway even in her own soddin country! Hello, if I was in a club, I'd be insistin' on 'Touch', 'Salome','Shame'etc. Still, as some have noted, NOT my fave song-how cud it be when the Monarch of Pop beat the hell out of it with at least 100 other songs! Not my fave vid either, but a classy affair, better looking than Duran's debut vid and any other female too, and coolly anarchic. A 9/10 I think. Sad as I am that people can't always know her from the start, at least with Ziezi discoverin' her in'85 meant she wasn't likely 2 b singin'this. Interesting enuf2hear that it closes with"well kids"over"we're kids" but come on, it's this song. Big deal. Now finding out she said"Scarlet" in "Birthday Song", "mould me down 2 size of a rubber ball," in "Putty"-THAT matters in an important song and all 80s ones apart from"Boys" were always more addictive than"Kids". But "Cambodia" wud b the song 2 prove to the world, yes this aint no pop bimbo here&it's not only men that can write and perform songs other than about luv. Finally, Lisa, wot where u thinking? Kim being American? I take it u were 2yrs old so I can excuse it, but nevermind the accent, didn't the possible clues that she didn't look nor come out with the braindead swill of ur turgid, hateful Mariah Carey, Celine Dions, or MOR slushy power ballads the likes of Heart&Starship come out with not get heads up? Equally was she ever promoted past her 1st song? American singers use up their sell-by date fast yet always the Paula Abduls, Tina Turner&Gloria Estefans are allowed 2 churn off 4ever&ever despite having little 2 give. Also Kim doesn't take her clothes off 2 sell records, and for the continent that gave us the worst person evr-Madonna-I do hava lot of loathing. Only Cyndi Lauper, Bangles&Voice Of The Beehive are the truly original woman the US ever gave us from the gr8 80s to here, with a dash of Wilson Phillips&Pat Benatar, and o'course-Stevie Nicks. Pretenders&Jennifer Rush are exempt-I count these as Brits as they do not have a US sound-& r all the better 4 it. Finally, Marc from Pigalle, luv 2meet u, u sound gr8 fun&wot tenacity u have 2 hang out with people who don't dig Queen Wilde. Twits. I heard u got tired of all the musclemen at the Roxy-I'm tired of 'em all looking like butch women. When was the last time I ever saw a REAL man-i.e one with a hairy chest in Kim's vids-they never r. This disturbingly wrong craze of makin'a man deny&hate wot he is started in the 80s sometime&that is 1 of the most repellent things about that decade, along with Madonna, of course. To answer ur question, Marc, Trevor Murrell-her 1st drummer, appearn in "Kids" & a few more of the early 1s is the best looking male, though she never gripped him! Well not on film. Otherwise her brother & Jesse Birdsall from "Hey Mr Heartche" wud b the best. Not a good bunch-more Select the Catch As Catch Can't-yet Another Step in the wrong direction of apparent maleness. All Teases, no Dares, all pleases, no bodyhairs. Still, Never Say Never!”
“Very unexpected and charmingly picturesque result. Charming song-not every 1st release needs 2 be pulse-pounding electric, people-well Kids certainly wasn't. It's a positive song & image, totally belying the internal struggles she was having at that time-& "Time" would be the cool next step. Back Street Joe-named after a gr8 tune from 1 of the gr8tst albums EVER-is spot on about this song & clip. Normally I hate kids, but here, especially as what would unfold in Bosnia over the rest of 1990, they are a sweet & necessary addititon. 10/10, girl.”
“The deadliest number off the safe as houses Love Moves album gets a gothic drenced spinning set worthy of a scene in a torture chamber & it's torture having to put up with this neverending love of waxed chested overpumped steroid freaks that seem to be evry director's idea of masculinity. No. If I want smooth I've got Kim, and ultra fine, sexy, scary & hot she is in this-she'll be the one giving HIM-or it-sleepless nights! ”
Caro wrote
“Hi Karina! I hope everything is going well for you :) Hi Calanor,Kim's hairdo is an endless subject of conversation,it has begun at the beginning of her carreer and we're still talking about it more than 25 years later.”
“Considering that LOVE MOVES is a REALLY SAFE album, I am SOOO relieved she released this!! (esp as its my 2nd fave on there). Luv the spinnin chair. Def has element of danger 2 the vid which is a great compliemnt 2 the song; reflects it well.”
“She's a little bit frightenin here ain't she! Barbarella eat ur heart out!! & altho I wish she'd buy herself some NEW jumpers (pref wothOUT stripes!!), she still looks gorgeous. & of course the PVC works brilliantly ... Luv the alien-orientated gladitorial theme! Brilliant song 2!”
“OK I've said it b4 but I'll GLADLY say it again - this song is fantastic, I've always loved it, still do, & wish u lot would stop bitchin bout it!!! Altho there's not a whole lot goin on in this video, I've seen worse (like those nasty blokes in the Say You Really Want Me vid). I quite like the lighting, like a mass of spider webs. & of course she looks gorgeous as always.”
“The "Fairy Godmother's" a bit annoyin isn't she?! I just don't understand wot the Cinderella thing has 2 do with this SONG?! Soooo not wot I imagined, & its a shame cos the song's amazing! & WHY are there always these nasty, waxed-chest steroid freaks in her videos??!! Gross!! All I can think is she was out the nite b4 drunk & that's how they got the "idea"!!”

“was watching Mamma-Mia on Vh1 w Maryl Streep ( the greatest actress of all time) thought her voice so doesn't suit Abba songs, and thought how perfect Kim would ve been for that Role :) ”
“God, theyr critical of u aren't they-but uv done right by me-pickn another gr8&ignored beauty piece of eerie longing&aching sadness & treated 2 the length it shuda been on the album-Kim's sngs always 2 short & this is SUCH a single. In fact this song is unique in the way it's her only song 2 my knowledge that has only 1 verse. After the 1st chorus, musical interlude-but then, unlike "Bitter Is Better" there r no more verses, only a middle-eight & choruses then gone. Thank u 4 lengthenin'a gr8 song. I must get that xtended "Lovers On A Beach" on the 12"of "The Second Time"-they SO need to remaster ALL her stuff,inc. B-sides&long versions of,em.”
“JR, you're quick to notice her voice-well done, the tape wasn't even yours! This is 1 of THE most BRILLIANT, CLEVER, EXCEPTIONAL, BEAUTIFUL, HAUNTING, EXCITING, SHIMMERING pieces of music ever made. A killer opener from the ller album it's from & the most underrated track in the world, from the most underrated album from by the most underrated singer. I love it even more than I did wnen I started gettin' all her 'lost' CDs in 1995. I can't comliment it enuf&2 know others feel the same. WHY wasn't it released evrywhere, WHY didn't it chart evryhere, WHY is it never playd, nevr performed, WHY is evry1 so thick. SALOME...no one's evr done a song like it. Pop princess my arse, this girl is musical heaven.Whe I can finally see this clip I'll give it 10-I'd do that 4 the song anyway. What class-and us lucky buggers then get the wickd 'TOUCH' 2 start off next album. "AS HER MUSIC DANCED AROUND THE DESERT NIGHT, I KNOW THOSE PEFECT SONGS. WAS SHE A DREAM?"”

“Psychopath any chance of cutting down the abbrieviated text as it's difficult to read fluently this end mate :) Has Pierre left the site now as nothing seems to be updated anymore? Nice to see Kim headling the Portsmouth and Southsea Music Festivals this year!! Stay Wilde!!! ”
“Wicked song & Nena's not a ridiculous, duu-toned mess anymore (she shave her arm pits now?). Allie u send gr8-keep ur flatmate stung with it 5x a day-the damn US is so prejudicial, yet it throws all its own crap over here 4 us 2 put up with. Wowzer performances of a gr8 song, but I don't get u fans who only pick 1 of her songs out of 3 decades almost of brill. I have at least 2 faves on each album. That's sense & "You Keep Me Hangin'On" (which is my 1st fave on "Another Step" anyway) is more a classic than masterpieces "House Of Salome", "The Touch", "Words Fell Down", "Shangri-La", "Can You Hear It", "Bladerunner", "Ego", "Wendy Sadd" etc.you get me? & now this song's JUST as classic aswell. Not like "KidsnAmerica" then-boo hoo!”
“Great, elegant performance, but as ur in Moscow, sing about their "Suburbs." "Back St Joe" wud av been a nice suprinsin' followup-but once again, it's all about the obvious. But I "Try Again" 2 live in 2Salome" hope. Or is it "Too Late"? ”
“It'll be edited as usual, but 4 the priveleged rarity of Kim going unplugged & turning a No.1 dance classic & turning it in2 an equally affecting, heartfelt ballad without the song's quality, impaired-genius. But Kim u av ballads-Another Step's latter stages are full of em. Sing "Fit In", Stay Awhile", adapt "Shangri-La", hell cover the whole 3rd album u (& 2 an xtent ur fans blacklist). Stop stickn with the bleedn obvious. &top editing "You Came". It's 4:33, not 3:10.”
“Took the word from me, Kim, yes it's that time again but NO I DON,T WANT THIS1 Never had, though it's the only 80s songs of hers so flat that doing it live helps it out. But I still don,t wanna hear it.I hope 1 day she DOES get sick of it. It's hardly "House Of Salome" or "Loving You" etc. Party songs. SO childish&shallow. For art thank God 4 all her other stuff. THANK GOD THISi was not the 1st ever song I heard of her with-that was the beautiful ballad "Four Letter Word"&I'm gonna xplode into a tirade of'em if I av2 rate this flamin' song again.”
“god, only on her 2nd single, already this comfy with fame, acomplished live on TV, & still only 2o. Bless the girl, shud b illegal. If ever a follow-up song beat the hell out of the debut, this was it, thou I will thank Kids or gettin'her started & for its apparent acocalyptic vision-so watered down in its party song transformatin that it's all but lost. Still it does show the non-love song side 2 her career that she (unlike many girl singers) has always had&if it paved the way for "Action City" just around the corner in a yr's time, then Kids aint a total loss regardn all else.”
“Calnora I would have 2 agree with you-giving out 10s for Kim is as repetetive as Madonna trying to have a point, but Kim shouldn't be so damn good! Teases&Dares was her 3rd perfect 5star album in a row-only Boys, Lucky Guy & bleedn Kids were her least remarkable works thru-out that 80s decade of cool. Ironically those songs are on t 2 albums people most go on about. Doh!&speakn of doh, right again, Cal, about "Suburbs" rudely being passed over as a single-completely right, but then u cud fill a bible with the amount of things Kim nevr got to release-her albums will always b full of'em. Performance is gr8, she loves the song (as she shud) but doesn't perform it enuf. Like everything. Wot's she's wearing is gr8!”
“So it's not high excitement, but don't u DARE call it crap. Crap's Madonna @ stop bringing that dated, thieving discoette slag-bimbo up-her 'breakthru@ was Holiday-says it all. Kim did 6 PERFECT album throughout the 80s, even if most of the brill stuff stayed ignored on albums/b-sides but then Kim's never been like Madonna that way and releasing the whole flamin'album. Yes she was depressed at this time, making me appreciate this album more=Love Is followed & was more the ticket. But come on-she doesn't squeal like a dying sheep (Sadonna on Vogue, any1?) or keep takin' her clothes off. She came out of the wicked 80s weaker than Duran, OMD& A-HA did, but as she pretty much whipped all butts thru those 10yrs that maters little. U can't hit a coconut evry time & Close was always gonna be hard to follow, yet ironically, that masterpiece still lacked the sharpness of Teases, the dreamlike mystique of Catch, the dramatic celluloid urgency of acocalyptic Select & the stunning rock & soul hybrids o Another Step. But Close does beat her debut-all long-term stayers shud look 2 do that & best of all-there's no flamin' Kidsn America on it. Yay. Sadly, unlike all her albums, apart from Now7Forever which has none, only 1 song feels like a No.1 on Love Moves-Storm In Our Hearts, the next best is No.6er-Can't Get Enough). But so what? She returned with five No.1s on Love Is&is back as good as ever these days. Yes Time sounds a little unimportant lyrically, but her voice&that musical accompaniment do make it a single-let's face it it's rowdier than It's Here'-but again some1's missing the point here-it was I Can't Say Goodbye they flamin' shouldn't av released over Can'T Get Enough. I Can't Say Goodbye's so middle-aged sickypoos soppy, granny-bad it makes Boys & the wretchedly overrated Kids sound FANTASTIC! ”

“Hi Caro :) Well, seems like the closing parenthesis wasn't included in your link, for some reason. :o I know what look you're talking about though and yeah, it looked nice. Perhaps I should add that it's not like I outright dislike the current hairdo or something (it's certainly nicer than the AAA one); it's just not the look I prefer. :) One of the problems posting in a place with no editing option is that you can't rephrase things even if you hit OK 2 seconds ago :o”

“I'd like to comment on one fan's disappointment with Kim repeating certain songs. I certainly would like material done Live that she hasn't done before. However, Classic Hits should be done again as we may hear the best performance of whatever yet. And maturity and experience lends new insights as well. Straight haired Kim? Sometimes looks wrong, sometimes very stylish. Kim has a tremendous capacity for change, which I take on board, so it doesn't really matter to me what look she has, except that it should be appropiate to the song. If there are images we don't like, looking at them in isolation from the song in terms of her Star history, there are plenty of images to like. We don't own her. She should be allowed to express as she pleases, and if a song's image is wrong, well she made a mistake, in someone's opinion. For example the only performance of "Born To Be Wild" - Kim looks very pretty, a plus in terms of her gallery photos, but a mistake for the song as she should have looked tougher for it. Here we have a knocking of an image that looks nice, in my opinion, so I don't care about those times when her look doesn't impress me. No woman can impress all the time anyway.”

“Unlike evry1 else I got 2 know of this fantastic wall-bustn song AFTER I got Kim's wicked Never Say Never comeback album. Video is gr8. Nena can actually sing and sounds dynamic. But then Kim th gr8 will bring the best out of any1, but credit 2 Nena aswell, as she cud hav helpd the best female singer back 2 us. Thoughas a UK based fan, I am disgusted with my country's complete abandonment of hr aftr her worst album Now&Forever (which is still way betr than many singers' adequate work. Following Loved (& that was cool) this in another league, but STILL this soddin country won't do anything. I say we all hold Simon awful Cowell, Madonna & Girls Aloud 2 ransom until Kim's on the UK airwaves/in charts/in shops again. Gr8 2 hear some American fans feel just as annoyd at her lack of stature over there at mment, but America'a always been 2 in love with its own naff rockers & bimbos. Bon Jovi & Mariah Carey & Celine Dion r not the world u know, nor is Justn Timbertwat. This video's a 10, and the song's a 20 outa 10. I'M LOVIN'IT but I can't find the soddin' single yet so I'm watchn it here non-stop. My only neessary gripe-why is Kim the only star I know whose average timed song is barely 4mins. Madonna, Lennox, Carey etc. wud al die (if only) if they ever had 2 record songs that took up less time than it takes 2 destroy a rainforest. KIM U ROCKER roTHE QUEEN ”

“"Dancing In The Dark" weakens "Catch" unfortunately as "Dream Sequence" is best followed by "Shoot To Disable". This means in practise that "Select" is the best RAK album. As for Kids, the endless covers are annoying, whereas Kim's Live performance is exciting. Also her sexuality is subtle especially in the last verse. Cal: I was approving your preference, and I think the subject deservers a thread on Marcel's forum which I will initiate shortly.”

“James: I am not sure that Psycho's actually reading the general comments, he might be simply writing reviews. Odd though how much we agree on when it comes to you're saying, even though you like a far more glammy Kim than I do. I am not all that crazy about Kids either - I actually didn't like it much at all back then, and now it's probably mostly for nostalgic reasons that I play it now and then. However, it's obviously very well-suited for live performances, so it's hardly odd that she'd play it live even if it wasn't one of her most famous hits. Which it is, like it or not. Personally, I am skipping P's posts from now on due to the simple fact that I can't stand his overuse of net shorthands. I kind of got sick of those in the 90s...”
“Bk2Black. My fave on LOVE IS is released like the No.1 it is-fantastic vid& the performance even lovelier. Hubba is"so right" wen he says the lesser successes are always much bettr than the crap they receive, or don't get if theyr ignored, but then Kim's the only artist in the history of this earth that's evr been treated like this. She's only1 I know NEVER 2av recorded a duff song I wudn't take wen even so-called gd people down-and Madonna slag&Annie Lennox ALWAYS recording & RELEASN horrible awful songs 2 loads of crap contrivd acclaim like theyr descended from the Virgin Mary or something.

“Psychopath- i am little confused with your "Writing or should i say refferances towards me" can u be more clear Darlin :). Sorry "Dancing in the dark" i thought was leat interesting song and video w Bad "Haircut" was just pfff. Tx god for Go4it-she cameback looking like a 80's Popicon. As for RAK songs Kids in America ( i was never impressed either) it hought it was a cute new wave record but i have to admite Kids sounds 10x better "Live" the audience and Kim really Rock the house. But my Personal favorites from RAK (were never singles) STrange but true and if i have to pick- "Everything we know/Sing it out for love again/ Falling out/You'll never be so wrong/Take me tonight/Chaos in A/Stay awile/ Can u come over/=more emotional type of songs. My favorite singles from RAK "Cambodia & View From the B"”
“Unpleasnt editing again-so not such a "Perfect Girl"with the technicians. Still charming Christmassy stage set, she lookd fab, sounded fab bt shuda squeezed more hits in like the "Catch"&"Teases" 1s she didn't even bothr redoing 4 "NeverSayNever-why do I like this woman wen she don't evn like herself? ”
“The perfromance can't be faulted-but choice of song can-S I C K O F I T!!!!!!! If we were talkin all from 'OUR TOWN' 2 "MAYBE I'M CRAZY", maybe I wudn,t b SENT crazy.

Ur UK record company sucks as evr. Here, once again, ur as ever the robbed wwinner. dimensional as a flat matchbox.”
“Bad sound but the editing was gd, audience participation is nice, but once again, songs chosen r woefully overused. How about we all do a medley of "Shootn2Disable ur Bladerunner's European Soul in the Suburbs of Moscow& that'd b Action City 2me."”

“Psycho: I'll keep my comments here, of course, rather than mess up the ratings. Dancing in the Dark "incredible"? I beg to differ, it's one of the absolutely least interesting songs during her RAK period if you ask me. Very uninspired and run-of-the-mill - thankfully, none of the Wildes were actually behind the creation of the song.”
“Oooooohhhh dangerous!!!! Wouldn't wanna approach her if she'd had a few - she'd prob bottle me!!! After readin some of these comments I feel like bottlin a few people myself!! DO NOT understand wot evry1's prob is with this song. Its always been my fave on album eva since I 1st heard it bk in 95! (I know, but I'm only 26 so giv me a break bout the belatedness of it all!) This is a gr8 vid 4 it tho. I always imagined a darkened/bluish rm with a strobe lite - but this is gd! (Mind that fire Kim! U don't look like the type of gal who just happens 2 hav a pair of flame-resistant gloves on ya 24/7!)”
“1stly let's deal with the pointless criticism. By Oct 81, Kim had made the last of her 2 'worst' singles-"Boys" follown "Kids In America"(yes I do mean that last 1-wot is all ur admiration 4 that thing-all it did was introduce 2 the gr8tst female singr evr& then she gve us"Chequered Love"&the girl smashed with evry wickd song that followd, release or not, inc.this 1.

Well I'm sick of the fact evrythin has 2 b about flamin' "kidsnAmerica, U Came(cut), U KeepMe Hangin'& Chequered Love. I wish I was bashed2death with "Dancin'InDark" 4 xample the way I am with these 1s wen she performs & the few times she on soddin UK radio & its only evr flamin"Kids". Now can I please rate this clip. The vid is gr8, Pieere, 1st time I ever saw the vid-fire is gr8 symblism-bet the "rushin wind kept blowin it against her miii-iind." Ya catch that Caro. U shud, evn if it aint "Sing It Out4Luv." She looks gr8-nice innocent counterpoint 2"Luv Blonde" floozn. But where's the follow=up vid "House Of Salome". Find it Pierre&we will play sweet musics 2gthr"in the heat of the desert, or hands'll beat at the door!" ”

“Psycho: No need to be rude. And this is me being picky, but why not use full words rather than "2day", "2 c", "cud", "4 her"? I can - somewhat - understand it during live chats, but hardly when you're writing a post. As for Elton, yeah I think he's a bit full of it at times, though the man's obviously produced some very long-lasting songs. Funny enough though, the few ones I actually listen to are covers of his original stuff (e.g. Kate Bush's "Rocket Man" and of course Kim's "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word"). Not arguing with your thoughts on the Select and Catch material though :)”
“JR, we need words again. This crap about hr'attitude is all in ur head-its a perona 4 a pop star, ninconpoop! Doh. Many of'em av it-hell they ALL av it 2day&they shudn't bother as they're all crap. Elton John's always been bad in this respect. Anyway, luvly 2 c she resuurectd the song-even if it got 2 much 4her. Now cud she please raid her 82&83 album 4 Dream Sequence, Salome, Janine, Action City& so on!”
“Caro, dalin, Kim says anything perfectly-she's not that idiot Annie Lennox u know. Elton John did something right, but this song, again, is only relevant cos Kim covered it. Does it beautifully&her dear old pap matches her-no mean feat. But they shud so release it asa single while we're awaitn a new album.”
“Gee, tonydeera, d'ya think the candles&stained church window was done 4 the song cos it had holy in the title? I'd NEVR av thort o'dat u clevr litl disciple u! Otherwise we know the stats: Song, setting, performance, live singing, mood&hair, make-up(4 the girls watching-u'd go MAD if we said nothin') and clothes all get a hugey 10.”
“Marred once again by f****n unecessary editing, this performance is technically perfect from her, but that catches&grates as much as always. By the way JR, there are only 3 tastes people av in music. Great, moderate or shit. & I don't comment on that either-esp. the latter!”
“Baby Obey Me is where UB40 wud like2 b, but then they never did original, tough sounding attitude driven stunners, like Kim's known 4 did they&why'd he take so long 2meet&sing with her-she wet right thru decades with the fool. Still he never sounded so good&she's so wonderful even without the rehearsals. Bitch Madonna take note-of not only that. ”
“Visuay resplendent&fun. 2 many dazzling lights blurs it&song's predictably cut-but it's a gr8 perfomance of a gr8 song-her true anthem surely, not that bloody brats in the States song (courtesy of my sis, bless)& Americans & her record company all need shooting! She's amazing.”

“OK, apparently some of the stuff said included "enchanted the audience", "great success", "the beautiful 48-year-old...doesn't think she'll be able to leave music behind" (48?), and so on. So yeah, it seems like the Turks were quite enthusiastic about Kim indeed.”

“9 4 the ratin cos I luv the woman, but 4 the song - ple, do not get me started!! Mayb a 6 - if I'm feelin generous, lol. Its just incredibly overrated & evrythin else she's done 2 date is just better. Fact. I think the only worth this song has is a live performance. That way it is injection with the power & oomph it desperately needs!!!”
“I'm not gonna giv this the full whack cos this song DRIVES ME MAAAAD!!!! & its OTT adulation worldwide. I AM aware it was her launch pad - but woteva!! On its own it is wot it is (I really don't need 2 elaborate here); on the album it sits comfortably beside the rest on the but the likes of You'll Never B So Wrong, Evrythin We Know, Fallin Out & Tunin In Tunin On etc are waay classier & hav mre stayin power). Yes I get the its a bleedin anthem, but then so is Love Blonde!! (Thought that was a no-brainer, as the title would indicate, lol), or Rage to Luv, The 2nd Time, U Keep Me Hangin On blah blah, so that's a moot point 2. Kim is known as well for her gr8 voice (altho not as much as she should b), but also her dynamic, intoxicatin sensuality & sexiness (I get that, & I'm a girl! A straight one 4 heaven's sake!) but she can't exactly use Kids 2 emphasise that can she?? Even she can't turn that song in2 a raunchy no. no matter how many hips thrusts she givs! Even her ballads hold mre sensual intonations. Its not a sexy song, therefore its not a Kim song, as in the character of the woman she would come 2 embody (& pretty swiftly 2). Even she must b sick of it now - I know I am! Giv me Bladerunner & Cn You Come Over any time!!! ”
“Right, I thought I'd havta start tappin off vitriol as soon as I found out dear Kimmie herself didn't like this 4 woteva reason (as well as not likin Catch, the album it came off, v. much either - can we say 'hard 2 soddin plse'??! Grrrr), but NOW I found, havin read the majority of ur comments, that I'm gonna havta aim my poison @ u an all!!! When I 1st heard this song on the album it really hit me as amazing, yeah that's right, AMAZIN - alright??! -as well as Can You Hear It, Stay Awhile, Love Blonde etc, & 13 yrs later I luv it even mre - esp with wretched opinions like this!!1 Its a brilliant dance track, as soon asthe intro starts & then the beat picks up - its dynamic! R u deaf??! :( & Km's vocals are just incredible on it, as with the rest of Catch. This is my fave song on Catch & the mre u lot (& HRH herself) keep bitchin bout it, the stronger it'll hold. Some of u are complainin bout the lyrics - HOLIDAY anyone?? LIKE A SODDIN VIRGIN - hello??! Anyone home??! & that silly old cow didn't even write them!! Lennox isn't exactly Wordsworth reincarnated is HE??! (& yes, that slight on her sex IS intentional! TrannyAnnie as I call HIM!) Could we stop nit-pickin when it REALLY ISN'T necessary b4 I blow a fuse! R u her fans or wot??!!”
“YAYE!! The woman's performin it! I LUV this song - eva since I was a littlin' (& I'm nearly 26 now!) so u can imagine just how bummed out I am that she didn't release it!!! & yes, I know, its Love in the Natural Way's B-side, but just cos it is B-side 2 my other favourite on CLOSE don't think that'll pacify me @ all!! Not impressed woman!! Also, just wanna point out, that as an avid fan of dear Kimberly's (haha), I really do wanna let my point b made - not 2 mention bloody understood - that THIS is the REAL, GENUINE QUEEN OF POP right here, & if I hav 2 SUFFER 1 MRE TIME the tiresome, boring, thieving old SKANK that is Madonna being compared 2 the ULTIMATE QUEEN here WILL hurt a LOT of people (I'm not Psychopath's sister 4 nothin!). Kimmie, luv ya - now DO another album, release @ LEAST 6 songs off it ALL over 5 mins & I MITE not track u down in a threatening manner!!! ;D”
“It's a total 8/10 guys! Just think Dear Lisa&Pat, without ur suffering, I wouldn't be laughing me damn cocksicles off. I luv it wen artists own songs r usd 2 defend them, but don't b tota girls, unlike slut Madonna, she wears clothes. Ur version of Stranger was gr8 Lisa, I cud date u&Pat's description of the 'evil ibbons' put her up there with any wildlife commentator. But at end of the day, it's still Kim & it's not 'Kids In America'.”
“The best female singer ever singing a top song from her 3rd 5star album-it's rockin', loud&we're loving it! And really enjoyn it as she shud&gettn a gr8 vibe from the crowd as she shud! If she cud just dump bleedn 'KidsnAmerica' & concentrate on the ignored songs that matter these days. Not EVERY set NEEDS 'You Came' 'You Keep Me Hangin'On', 'Chequered Love', 'Cambodia'&'View From A Bridge'-theyr lovely but take up room wen she shud be doing 'House Of Salome', 'Ego', 'The Touch', 'Take Me2nite', 'I Got So Much Luv', 'Child Come Away', 'Dream Sequence', 'Storm In Our Hearts', 'Turn It On' & 'I Believe In You' 4 starters. REAL fans & as I am unquestionably THE biggest want everything esp.the gr8 ignored-which if aint off an album the year it's out, is everything she's evr done. Damn the woman!”
