Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're on your way now, lover, and I'm over the moon
Everything's on, in place, but there is one thing clear
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
Those sleigh bells ring, ring, ring
Whole romance blink, blink, blink
So many fairy lights are busy sparkling
It's all for you, my dear
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
There's a present by the fire place
Wrapped especially for you
But all that I want is to see your face
That's how you make my wish come true
The second hand ticks by you bring me butterflies
You're getting close now baby I can feel it inside
And when you're holding me, that's when you make me year
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
Tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh
Tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh
Tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh, tuh
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get
There's a present by the fire place
Wrapped especially for you
But all that I want is to see your face
That's how you make my wish come true
I hear the doorbell chime
Baby you're right on time
That little taste is it
I'm looking into your eyes
I better run, run, run
Because it's all so real
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
The song "Christmas Isn't Christmas 'til You Get Here" by Kylie Minogue is a festive love song that captures the excitement and anticipation of a lover waiting for their partner to arrive for the holidays. The lyrics express the longing and yearning of the singer to be united with her lover, as she realizes that the holiday season is incomplete without the presence of the one she loves.
The opening lines of the song convey the emotions of absence and distance, as the singer has been missing her lover for a long time. But as the lover is on their way now, she cannot contain her joy and anticipation, as everything is in place for the holiday except for one crucial element - the presence of her beloved. The lyrics convey the excitement and wonder of the holiday season, with the sleigh bells ringing and the fairy lights sparkling. But all of these elements pale in comparison to the joy and happiness that comes with being reunited with the one you love during the holiday season.
The song conveys a message that while the material elements of the holiday season may be important, what truly brings meaning and joy to people's lives during the holiday season is being surrounded by loved ones. This message is captured poetically in the lyrics "Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here," as it shows that the true essence of the holiday season is not about decorations or gifts, but about the love and connection that people share with each other.

It's been a long time to be missing you, you, you
I've been longing for your company for a while now
You're on your way now, lover, and I'm over the moon
You're coming to see me and I'm extremely happy about it
Everything's on, in place, but there is one thing clear
All the preparations for Christmas are set, but I know that something is missing
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
I won't truly feel in the holiday spirit until you arrive
Those sleigh bells ring, ring, ring
The sound of sleigh bells fills the air
Whole romance blink, blink, blink
The romantic atmosphere is shining bright
So many fairy lights are busy sparkling
The numerous fairy lights are twinkling brightly
They're climber and they glow
They're arranged in a way that creates a wonderful ambiance
It's all for you, my dear
All of these decorations are for you because you make Christmas special
There's a present by the fire place
I've wrapped a gift and placed it by the fireplace for you
Wrapped especially for you
I took the time to wrap this gift beautifully because you're special to me
But all that I want is to see your face
The only thing I really want is to see you in person
That's how you make my wish come true
Just being with you makes me happy and fulfills my wishes
The second hand ticks by you bring me butterflies
As time passes and you get closer, I become more and more excited
You're getting close now baby I can feel it inside
I have a sensation that you're getting nearer to me
And when you're holding me, that's when you make me year
Being in your arms is what makes me truly happy

Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get
Just your presence makes Christmas more joyous
I hear the doorbell chime
I hear the sound of the doorbell ringing
Baby you're right on time
You've arrived exactly when you said you would
That little taste is it
Just a small preview of the joy that's coming
I'm looking into your eyes
I'm staring into your eyes, taking in their beauty
I better run, run, run
I'm so excited to be with you that I can't contain myself
Because it's all so real
The feeling of being with you is so amazing and tangible
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
This holiday is incomplete without you here with me
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
I need you to be present for Christmas to truly feel like Christmas
Christmas isn't Christmas 'til you get here
Your arrival is the missing piece of the puzzle that completes Christmas

This song has the potential to be the new " All I want for Christmas is you"
Nico Lagraña
maybe, but her flop label won't do anything about it. I hope she signs with a new label in 2017.
