Comparing careers: Kylie and Dannii Minogue

Dannii Minogue was the first Minogue to rise to stardom.

Although Kylie was doing quite well chasing a career in acting, it was Dannii’s gig on Young Talent Time which made her the most popular Minogue.

Kylie was featured on Young Talent Time in 1985, but she was not part of the usual cast and Dannii’s performances often upstaged Kylie’s.

But super stardom for Kylie was just around the corner…

…and in 1986 Kylie was cast on the hit Australian TV show Neighbours.

This launched her career and she became an over night star.

From this point, and for the rest of her career, the pop princess had an enourmous following both nationally and overseas, particularly in the UK.

Dannii Minogue achieved early success in music with hits like Love and Kisses and This is It.

But by the release of her second album her popularity as a singer had declined.

Although she was well and truly on the road to super stardom during the early to mid 90s, Kylie has always thought highly of her sister.

It has been reported that in the beginning of the their careers Kylie thought Dannii would be the famous one.

Eighties music producers have admitted to not siging both sisters to the same label becasue it would have damaged Kylie’s confidence.

Despite starting her career in acting, Kylie has become more famous for her music career.

Songs like The Loco-Motion and I Should Be So Lucky launched her career and she went on to write a number of songs like Can’t Get You Out of My Head which reached number one in more than 40 countries. Kylie is known for always leaving her fans wanting more.

Kylie’s Show Girl tour only lifted her fame to new heights and the singing sensation held sold out shows around the globe.

But, despite the success, Kylie discovered she had breast cancer and was forced to postpone a number of shows.

Dannii’s success has drifted from music and she has reached fame through becomeing a TV Personality, mainly in the UK.

In the 1990s Dannii reinvented herself as a dance artist and released a number of relatively successful tracks.

Her single Who Do You Love Now? returned Dannii to the spotlight.

She is the best-performing artist on the UK Upfront Club Chart with 12 consecutive number one dance singles.

She is currently a popular television personality on Australia’s Got Talent and The X Factor.

Despite the fame switching from one sister to the other, the pair insist there is no rivalry between them.

Dannii has been repoted as saying that “We were raised in a family of love and support, and that has not changed.”

Although they live their lives in the spotlight, it’s good to see the sisters are just like all other siblings and have spoken about having a tiff every now and again.
