Kylie Minogue has praised Lady Gaga for making dance music more popular in the US, but added she thinks the quirky songstress may be from ''outer space''.

Kylie Minogue thinks Lady Gaga came from "outer space".
The 42-year-old pop princess - who is set to release her latest studio album 'Aphrodite' this summer - stated she thinks the quirky 'Bad Romance' hitmaker has helped to make dance music more popular in the US.
She said: "She's like a meteor that just came from outer space and landed on the pop landscape. And just . there was dust in everyone's face.
"I think it's amazing. She's largely responsible along with others who have brought dance to the kind of mainstream or pop arena in the States.
"She's incredibly talented. She's an absolute force to be reckoned with and I'm a great admirer."
Kylie went on to add that despite her autumn 2009 US tour being a "rewarding" experience, it made "no financial sense".
She revealed to Access Hollywood: "It was a micro-tour, but I've got to tell you it was so rewarding. I was a mission from the heart.
"It was like setting my wallet on fire because basically it just made no financial sense to do it, but I just reached a point where I thought, 'That's it! I just wanna!"

Well, at least she praised the competition.

I really enjoyed Kylie's early to mid 2000's stuff.. that "i'm spinnin around" song and "i just cant get you out of my head" and whatnot was basically THE music for 2 summers in a row

love em both--Australian Queen of Pop admires Gaga


Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue is getting ready to release her latest studio album, “Aphrodite,” this summer (on July 6), and in a new interview with Access Hollywood, she spoke out about her 2009 U.S. tour, why it is important to her to be a part of a breast cancer charity and how she thinks Lady Gaga landed like a “meteor” in the dance/pop music world.

The dance music sensation told Access Hollywood on Thursday that she’s loved watching Gaga’s rise in the industry.

“She’s like a meteor that just came from outer space and landed on the pop landscape and dance landscape,” Kylie enthused. “And just… there was dust in everyone’s face.”

Kylie, who has had a host of dance-infused hits of her own, thanks to songs like “Love At First Sight,” “Spinning Around,” and “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head,” said she particularly loves how Gaga’s been able to help move dance music forward in the U.S.

“I think it’s amazing… She’s largely responsible — along with others who have brought dance music to the kind of mainstream or pop arena in the United States,” Kylie said. “She’s incredibly talented. She’s an absolute force to be reckoned with and I’m a great admirer.”

Good for her for being so cool about it.

People need to realize that people aren't attracted to negativity.

Yeah I liked those too. That was a very successful comeback she made with those songs. They got her back on top.
Kylie is a professional, I can't see her ever slagging off another singer - not in public at least.

"Spinning Around" is a guilty pleasure of mine. Did any of you know that it was originally meant as a comeback single for Paula Abdul? She has a co-writing credit for the song.

I've always liked Kylie, even though I'm not as familiar with her work as I am from other pop artists.

[PoisonGirl]

Love them both.

Although I'm not a Kylie fan, but I find she's more level- headed than the other pop singers. Good to hear her be positive about Gaga unlike some other singers.
