Anyway, and I also loved Neighbours growing up, knew that's where she originated from, was not watching it when she was on there.
That was like, I think, before my time, before I was born or before I was watching TV.
But knew that that's where she kind of originated from and have known parts of her journey, but there was so much I did not know.
about Kylie's career and her journey and her life and behind the scenes.
And so I was so intrigued and I learnt so much about her.
And I found the show, like, it was really, really awesome and great and she's phenomenal.
But there was points that made me quite sad because...
I mean, I don't want to give it away because there's some big things that she speaks about, particularly in the last episode, I believe it was, that were quite deep of things that she felt like she missed out on on life.
And that got me quite emotional.
But prior to that, one theme throughout it was, unfortunately, because she kind of blew up in the UK and was living in the UK for a lot of her career...
And we all know what the press in the UK is like.
They are ruthless, particularly back then.
But even to this day, they still are.
And it's kind of similar to what came up in the Victoria Beckham doco in like how ruthless headlines can be and how judgmental people can be, particularly when they kind of go from one thing to, you know, from Victoria, it was going as being in the Spice Girls to then doing a fashion thing.
For Kylie, it was going from being an actress to a pop singer and
and people not really accepting that.
So even though her song and everything went bananas, there was people on talk shows flat out saying, like, she can't sing.
Like, I'm sorry, she can't sing.
Like, saying that to start with.
