A New Year A New Decade And A New Kylie   1990, a new year and indeed a new decade, one that would see Kylie Minogue take control over her own career, no longer would she be told what to wear, what to say or even which singles to release, she would ditch her 'girl next door' image for something a little more grown up, more sexual, the girl from Neighbours was blossoming into womanhood. The 1990s would also see Kylie lose her popularity and for a few years it looked like her career was over but in great survivor stories style in 2000 the lady was able to spin things around and made a sensational comeback.  Kylie's first single of the new decade was a cover version and also the theme tune from her film The Delinquents, Tears On My Pillow was originally released in 1958 by Little Anthony and The Imperials, the accompanying video showed Kylie in a black dress and 1950's style hair while clips of the film played both behind her and without her on screen.

Kylie Anne Minogue was born on the 28th May 1968 in Melbourne, Australia, the eldest of three children she was a quiet child who didn't make friends easily.

The romance of Scott & Charlene gripped the nation, with millions tuning in every week day for a slice of sunny, Australian drama while witnessing perhaps the ultimate boy and girl next door fall in love.
