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 ↴
But you don't need the words to say
Sometimes you feel you're at the end of the line
But tonight it's gonna fade away
You're looking out from the darkness
Feeling so alone and you need a flare
Well, I've got the light that's gonna treat you right
Understand I will be there for you
Understand I'm a diamond for you
A white diamond for you
And just like a burning radio I'm on to you
Your spell I'm under
In the silver shadows I will radiate
And glow for you
What you see and what it seems
Are nothing more than dreams within a dream
Like a pure white diamond
I'll shine on and on and on
Where I'm gonna take you now
Every tear will look out of place
Well, I thought about it but it took until now
To crystallize it into a phrase
Understand I will be there for you
Understand I'm a diamond for you
A white diamond for you
And just like a burning radio I'm on to you
Your spell I'm under
In the silver shadows I will radiate
And glow for you
What you see and what it seems
Are nothing more than dreams within a dream
Like a pure white diamond
I'll shine on and on and on and on
"White Diamond" is a powerful song by Kylie Minogue, and the lyrics are rich with meaning. The song is about a person who is feeling lost and alone, and is in need of light to guide them out of the darkness. Kylie tells them that she will be there for them, and will be their "white diamond." The lyrics are full of metaphors, with references to dreams, shadows, and crystals.
In the opening lines, Kylie tells the person that they don't need words to communicate with her. She understands that they are overwhelmed and will be there for them. The person is at the end of their rope, but Kylie tells them that tonight everything will fade away. In the darkness, the person is desperate for some guidance, and Kylie is offering to be the light to guide them.
The chorus of the song is about Kylie's commitment to being there for the person. She tells them that she is like a diamond, and will shine brightly for them. She uses the metaphor of a burning radio to show that she is tuned into the person and is under their "spell." In the silver shadows, she will glow and radiate for them. Kylie's words are powerful and uplifting, and the song is a message of hope and support.

I know that it's getting too much, baby
I understand that things are overwhelming for you
But you don't need the words to say
You don't have to say anything, I can tell
Sometimes you feel you're at the end of the line
You feel as though you've reached a dead end
But tonight it's gonna fade away
But tonight, everything will become better
You're looking out from the darkness
You're feeling lost and alone
Feeling so alone and you need a flare
You feel isolated and need some help
Well, I've got the light that's gonna treat you right
I have the light that will guide you down the right path
And illuminate what's already there
I'll help you see what's already within you
Understand I will be there for you
Know that I'll always be there for you
Understand I'm a diamond for you
I'm like a diamond, shining bright and valuable in your life
A white diamond for you
I am pure, beautiful and rare in your life
And just like a burning radio I'm on to you
I'm completely focused on you, like a burning radio signal
Your spell I'm under
I'm enchanted by you
In the silver shadows I will radiate
I'll glow in the dark when you can't see your own light
And glow for you
I'll shine brightly in your life
What you see and what it seems
What you perceive and what is reality
Are nothing more than dreams within a dream
Are just a figment of your imagination
Like a pure white diamond
Just like me, pure and precious
I'll shine on and on and on
I'll keep shining brightly in your life forever
Where I'm gonna take you now
I'll take you to a better place
Every tear will look out of place
You'll never have to cry again
Well, I thought about it but it took until now
I've been thinking about this for a while but just voiced it now
To crystallize it into a phrase
To put it into words that will make sense

Why does the human race place limitations on them selves ?
All the back & forth childish comments about who's better Kylie , Madonna , Lady Gaga.
Everyone is different & likes & adapts to a singing artist of their choice.
I like Kylie & I also like some of Madonna's songs & Lady Gaga's :)
Plus when it comes to raising money for a good cause, all these artist join together & unite to raise money for the cause.
Love will alway win :)

This version is the best. Have energy, humour and offers good sound. Sad on the new album by Scissor Sisters they don;t have so effective songs like White Diamond
DJ DaveRave aka Dave Gordon
God I remember Night Work. Yeah it wasnt my favorite career for a band after their amazing first album, but the Night Work song was amazing and they had a couple unreleased tracks that were great, but their work w Kylie was their best. Shame most of it wasnt released officially
ian whitehead
Shame she never released this as a single as it had No1 written all over it.
