No I have not heard of her. Kylie is so much classier than these R&B tarts from the US that sing R&B! They are just vulgar and it has taken over a good 90% of the American music scene! No offence to America but there is a lot of funky black people all over MTV - and now it has spread to the rest of the world! Here in France now you get 14 year girls with rings through their nose, big hoopy earrings, tattoos and greased hair in the style of lets say Destiny’s Child! Its ok for Destinys Child but just looks cheap on a 15 year old girl!!!It’s a shame. In the UK we call these types of slappers Tracys and Shorans! I think these so-called artists go too far with taking their clothes off! Granted Kylie certainly does play on her "sexy image" she does not have this hard attitude and does not quite come across in the same vulgar way as Christina Aguilera or Shitney spheres (trailer trash!) They are relatively new artists when you think Kylie has been here for 20 years now! She has worked hard and now puts on a good live show and has a decent back catalogue of songs working along the way with Bono, The Manic Street Preachers, Pet Shop Boys, Elton John, Nick Cave and Robbie Williams! None of these artists would have worked with her so-called new contemporaries....They are just doing what she has been doing far longer and what she does far better! I'm glad she went to No.3 on the main Billboard chart in America with her album Fever, has 2 Grammy’s and another top ten hit in the States - its about time!!! Maybe if she joined in and started singing funky black R&B music she would be bigger there but thankfully she does not sink so low. Kylie is a huge international star and now more so in the U.S! So you can say I am a huge fan of hers! That said I'm sure this other woman you are talking about is very nice

But Kylie has the "It" factor big time!
