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.

Cried Out Christmas
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm under the covers
Don't leave me waiting
It will be a cried out Christmas without you
You're in the East End
And I'm here in Chelsea
The minute you get here
Is the minute you melt me
Tomorrow's a special day
Tell me you're on your way
City's covered in lights
But 'til you're here tonight I'll be blue
I want you kissing me
While it's still Christmas Eve
We must know
You know what you gotta do
Get in a cab, I just take the blue light
It's only twelve stops, just get it by moonlight
Don't let it be a cried out Christmas without you, oh
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la
I don't want Christmas without you
Oh
Tomorrow's a special day
Tell me you're on your way
City's covered in lights
But 'til you're here tonight I'll be blue
I want you kissing me
While it's still Christmas Eve
We must know
You know what you gotta do, ooh
Come home to me (come home)
Make it romantic (oh, yeah)
Leave out cookies for Santa
Just how we planned it
It will be a cried out Christmas without you
I don't want a cried out Christmas without you

It's been a year anticipated
I have been looking forward to this moment for a whole year
I'm under the covers
I am in bed and feeling cozy
Don't leave me waiting
Please don't make me wait any longer
It will be a cried out Christmas without you
Christmas will be filled with tears if you're not here
You're in the East End
You are in a different part of town
And I'm here in Chelsea
I am in a different part of town
The minute you get here
As soon as you arrive
Is the minute you melt me
You make me feel warm and happy
I don't want a cried out Christmas without you
I don't want Christmas to be full of tears without you
Tomorrow's a special day
Tomorrow is an important day
Tell me you're on your way
Let me know that you are coming
City's covered in lights
The city is beautifully decorated with lights
But 'til you're here tonight I'll be blue
Until you are here tonight, I will feel sad
I want you kissing me
I want you to give me kisses
While it's still Christmas Eve
Before Christmas day arrives
We must know
We both need to understand
You know what you gotta do
You know what you need to do
Get in a cab, I just take the blue light
Hurry and get into a taxi, I will use the blue light to guide you
It's only twelve stops, just get it by moonlight
It's only twelve stops away, just make it here while the moon is shining
Don't let it be a cried out Christmas without you, oh
Please, don't let Christmas be filled with tears without you
La, la, la
Singing and expressing joy
I don't want Christmas without you
I don't want to celebrate Christmas if you're not here
Come home to me (come home)
Return to me
Make it romantic (oh, yeah)
Let's make our reunion full of romance
Leave out cookies for Santa
Let's prepare cookies for Santa Claus
Just how we planned it
Exactly as we discussed and envisioned
It will be a cried out Christmas without you
Christmas will be filled with tears if you're not here
I don't want a cried out Christmas without you
I don't want Christmas to be full of tears without you
