Dannii first broke out of her sister's shadow in 1997 with the album Girl. Whilst Kylie Minogue was experimenting with dark lyrics, indie collaborations and moody images (Impossible Princess), Dannii went out and out for the dancefloor with the huge hit All I Wanna Do. Unfortunately, the album that it was from only reached No. 57. However, Dannii herself has said, "This was a big turning point for me. It has led me on to the album Neon Nights and my collaborations with many club DJs and remixers".
2001 was a success for Dannii, when her vocals were part of Riva's Who Do You Love Now?, which laid the foundations for her fourth album Neon Nights released in March 2003.
Moving to London Records, Dannii made more credible dance tracks including I Begin To Wonder and Put The Needle On It. In 2003, Dannii released her fourth album, Neon Nights. It was a surprise chart success, reaching no.8 in the UK charts and eventually achieving gold status, selling over 100,000 copies. The album also made gold certification in Australia. Dannii also teamed up with chill-out Ibiza stars Afterlife for a collaboration on their Speck of Gold album. Dannii's star was beginning to shine in its own right.
In 2004, after a top 10 album and four top 10 singles, Dannii moved to All Around The World Records. Her first single for AATW was You Won't Forget About Me, which saw Dannii's vocals layered on top of the instrumental hit Flower Power and landed at no.7 in the UK charts, making it Dannii's fifth consecutive top 10 hit. You Won't Forget About Me was followed up in 2005 by Perfection, on which Dannii teamed up with the Soul Seekerz, which narrowly missed out on the top 10 in the UK, peaking at no.11. In 2006, she returned with So Under Pressure and her Greatest Hits album The Hits & Beyond.
Dannii has been a judge on British television channel ITV's The X Factor since 2007 alongside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.
In November 2007, Girl and Neon Nights were re-released with bonus discs, with a new studio album Club Disco and compilation album Unleashed appearing within the following weeks. A stand alone single Touch Me Like That was released in December 2007. It was later included on the re-release of Club Disco released in Australia in the spring 2008.
Later in 2008, the logical and long-overdue duet with her own sister finally was released as Kylie & Dannii recorded a cover of ABBA's The Winner Takes It All appeared on the soundtrack album to the shortlived BBC show Beautiful People.

Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm feeling down
I fear the night
When you're not around
Kiss me when the morning comes
Leave the taste of you
I’m waitin for daylight
The good times that we share
For all the love, that you give me
I may not be a perfect girl
But in my weakest hour
You’re the air that I’m breathin
Like the moonlit, sky, above
The good times that we share
Cos when I’m with you
I feel so alive
I’ll never find
Someone betta than you
Don’t leave me behind
After all we’ve been through
Kiss me when the morning comes
Leave the taste of you
I’m waitin for daylight
I will, I’ll wait, for you
The good times that we share
For all the love, that you give me
I may not be a perfect girl
But in my weakest hour
You’re the air that I’m breathin
Like the moonlit, sky, above
The good times that we share
Cos when I’m with you
I feel so alive
Feel so, feel so, feel so alive
Feel so, feel so, feel so alive
Feel so, feel so, feel so alive
Feel so, feel so, feel so alive
When I’m with you
I feel so alive
Feel so, feel so, feel so alive
The good times that we share
For all the love, that you give me
I may not be a perfect girl
But in my weakest hour
You’re the air that I’m breathin
Like the moonlit, sky, above
The good times that we share
Cos when I’m with you
I feel so alive

Hold me tight
I need your comfort and support
When I'm feeling down
During my low moments
I fear the night
I worry about being alone
When you're not around
Without your presence
Kiss me when the morning comes
Starting the day with your love
Leave the taste of you
Savoring your essence
I’m waitin for daylight
Anticipating your return
I will, I’ll wait, for you
I'll be patient for you
The good times that we share
Moments of joy we have together
For all the love, that you give me
Grateful for the affection you show me
I may not be a perfect girl
I have flaws
But in my weakest hour
During my most vulnerable times
You’re the air that I’m breathin
You provide me with life-sustaining support
Like the moonlit, sky, above
As reassuring as the night sky
Cos when I’m with you
Because being with you
I feel so alive
I feel happier and more energized
I’ll never find
No one else can replace you
Someone betta than you
No one better than you
Don’t leave me behind
Don't abandon me
After all we’ve been through
Despite the challenges we've faced
Feel so, feel so, feel so alive
Emphasizes the happiness and energy felt when near their partner
When I’m with you
During moments shared with their partner

I really love the sound of her voice. It's a sad thing when you have to get on youtube to listen to good music versus just simply turning on the radio.
