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.

White December
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lights are on the tree
Elvis sings Blue Christmas for you and me
Everything is perfect
The candles have it glow
The only thing what's missing is that sub zero
Those things that we should do
Don't wanna move an inch
Don't need no company
Just wanna be beside you
Just like it was last year
When all the lights were frozen
Could we move from here?
Oh, it's got me praying for snow
To start falling
Baby, baby, do you remember
That crazy Christmas with the crazy weather
And spend a weekend and closer and closer
I wanna do it one time over
Baby all we need is snow from somewhere
To lock the door so we can go nowhere
Getting back to you and me together
Now every year I'm wishing for the white December
We cuddled on the couch
We drank a lot of wine
Sang along to Fairytail of New York until we cried
Everything was perfect
Your kisses and Chablis
We unwrapped all the presents
Then you unwrapped me
Oh, just got me praying for snow
To start falling
Baby, baby, do you remember
That crazy Christmas with the crazy weather
And spend a weekend and closer and closer
I wanna do it one time over
Baby all we need is snow from somewhere
To lock the door so we can go nowhere
Getting back to you and me together
Now every year I'm wishing for the white December
With you
Just you
With you
The lyrics of Kylie Minogue's song White December paint a picture of a perfect Christmas scene, with everything in place except for one thing - snow on the ground. The first verse describes a cozy living room, with a fire and Christmas lights, and Elvis singing Blue Christmas. The only thing missing is the snow outside. The second verse reveals that the singer just wants to be with her partner, without any distractions or social obligations. She longs for a return to a past Christmas that was filled with passion and excitement, and wishes to experience it all over again.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of snow to complete the perfect Christmas scene the singer is imagining. She reminisces about a past Christmas where the weather was wild and unpredictable but made the experience all-the-more memorable. She wants to create a similar atmosphere with her partner once again. The final lines of the song are dedicated solely to her partner, expressing a desire to spend the holidays with them.
In essence, Kylie Minogue's White December is a whimsical and romantic take on the holiday season, highlighting the importance of nostalgia, warmth, and human connection. The song's soothing melody, combined with its incandescent lyrics, make it a perfect addition to any Christmas playlist.
