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 ↴
It used to be, you and me
Love like no other
Our world around, could fall apart
But we had each other
Saw you walking, you were smiling
And it hit me like the first time
But nothing's changed, when I look at you
You, you are so beautiful
You, you are so beautiful
You're my eyes
I just want you to know
That after all this time
You're still the one
Still hurts sometimes
Love on the line
But we said forever, yeah
Sailing on, through the storms
But we had together
And now I
I just want you to know
That after all this time
You're still the one
You, you are so beautiful
You, you are so beautiful
And now I
I just want you to know
That after all this time
You're still the one
You, you are so beautiful
You, you are so beautiful
In Kylie Minogue's song "Beautiful," the first two lines set the context of the song- "It used to be, you and me, love like no other." The singer is caught up in nostalgia as she remembers the past with her partner. No matter the world around them falling apart, they had each other. The singer's heart gets captured again when she sees her partner smiling as it hits her like the first time that her love still feels like yesterday. The Chorus then repeats the words of the title, "You, you are so beautiful," which is indicative of the emotion and depth of the singer's passion. Even in the face of hurt, love on the line, and the storms of life, the couple stuck to their pact to be together forever.

Beautiful
Beautiful
I'm losing my way in this night
Walking away from the light
Surrender will be my escape
Breaking the walls of my mind
I'm one step ahead of the truth
I hear what I want to hear and I hear you and
If I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
Let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
I'm getting a taste for this high
For bending the rules of what's right
But fooling myself feels so sweet
Reality looks black and white
Pulling the ripcord, I dive
It's a cardboard kingdom, but it makes me feel that
If I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
Let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful
And now I'm traveling at such blissful speed
No need to think at this velocity
The things I feel begin to fade to black
Now I've burned my map and I won't go back 'cause
And if I lie with you long enough
I can see the things I'm dreaming of
So let's go through the ritual
Until everything is beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful

A true pop masterpiece.
