Annie vs. Kylie

"Come in Kylie, your time is up." Hmmm.... Ill-mannered bravado. The most striking thing about Kylie - well, among 20 or so of the most striking things about Kylie - is her attention to the musical past of pop - her historical sense. Kylie doesn't diss anyone, at least publicly. Annie may be gunning to be Queen of Pop, but her goal will elude her if she doesn't pay attention to the ouevre. Indeed, Annie sounds remarkably Kylie-esque, and as Kylie would certainly understand, that is no accident.
