Kylie Les Folies Tour: Review (Act 6)

This has to be my FAVOURITE act of the entire show (with the encore coming a close second)! More after the jump....

I'm not going to lie, even thinking back to this part of the show gives me goosebumps. It's the best laid out and most beautifully executed section of a Kylie tour that I have EVER seen.

We open with Looking For An Angel - a song that I didn't particularly like before the tour, but it's now on repeat along with a couple of others from the show! It starts off very demure with Kylie and her dancers, before the camp gauge kicks up to a million with the arrival of the "angel" (a gorgeous dancer suspended from cables in the roof of the stage). He descends to where Kylie is standing and the lights go down...



What happens next can only be described as pure genius! As the next song "Closer" kicks in, we can see that Kylie is now riding side-saddle on the angel and is lifted high above the screaming fans below. This woman really can sing no matter what is going on around her!



The angel flies right over the splash zone and takes Kylie to the end of the stage where she dismounts in time for the next track - a cover of the Eurythmics classic There Must Be An Angel (genius song choice). The video below is the best footage of this that I found - god bless Yorin over on Youtube!



After this, Kylie launches into a mash-up of Love At First Sight and Can't Beat The Feeling (set to the music of the latter) which I loved and I sincerely hope that it get's a release some day!



The act rounds out with a track that only the die hard fans would know. I first heard If You Don't Love Me on the Hits + album which was released back in 2000. The song is basically Kylie and piano and it sounds amazing in an acoustic version. Sat on top of the stairs, Kylie sings her little heart out and in the Dublin show she was note perfect on this track.



It was easy to see that the general concert goers didn't know the track, because during a five second break in the song, they cheered as if the song was over - I have yet to figure out of it was because the loved it or they wanted Kylie to move on because they didn't know it! Even in the video above, you'll hear the odd clap while she's singing ...
