Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue were the two most famous pop stars in the UK in the late 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s. They were everywhere at the time.
Kylie and Jason's characters' marriage on the show "Neighbours" was HUGE. It was Australia's "Luke & Laura" moment. Kylie performed this song on a TV special with Kermit The Frog.
@@EmpressReactsThere really is no way to overstate how huge they both were to an Australian and UK TV and pop music audience. Kylie and Jason, as well their TV characters Scott and Charlene, were heavily promoted as a couple both on and off camera, and the soap they were on (Neighbours) was absolutely massive in Aus and UK then. It also continued until early 2022, finally airing its “final” episode after a 37 year run!! But it was revived again and has an uncertain future. Iconic cosy television, and very much part of the fabric of both Aussie and UK entertainment.
Yep, more people watched that episode in the UK than the entire population of Australia at the time. I was one of them (when I was 9 years old). It had around 20 million viewers when the population of Australia was about 16 million.
@@EmpressReacts yup, she was Charlene, the car mechanic, driving a Mini Cooper... :) The show is called Neighbours. Just search on UA-cam for Kylie Neighbours and you can see many of the episodes she was in it...
@@EmpressReacts Yes. She was very famous as that Aussie soap character 'Charlene; so was Jason Donovan as 'Scott'; that's why this was such a hit record. Kylie as a real solo global pop star only came to fruition later when the Neighbours stuff died down because she and Scott aka Jason Donovan had left the show. x This show was one of the most popular ever for a while in the UK, where I am from, and obv Australia where it originated. It became less so when Kylie etc left, but the likes of Natalie Imbruglia and Margo Robbie (Suicide Squad) starred in it.
I have to admit that I used to like watching this soap opera over 30 years ago, with those 2 playing sweethearts 😉, used to run here in Germany way back then.
been waiting for you to do this one 😄 ive been bingeing on this song for the last few days now that ive moved to melbourne and live literally 12 minutes drive from the suburb where neighbours was filmed 🙌🏽❤️
Aww! ❤️ this song! So many memories 😊 Yep Biggest song in Oz & the UK at the time Not only were they Charlene & Scott, a couple in the Aussie soap Neighbours, they also dated in real life for a little while ❤️ your reaction! 🌞
These 2 were in a relationship at the time this song came out. But she ditched him (he was a bigger selling artist than her at the time) for the Lead Singer of INXS . The INXS song Suicidal Blonde is about Kylie.
Kylie and Jason were an on-screen couple in Aussie soap Neighbours and their marriage was I've of the most watched TV moments of that year. They also dated off screen too. Since they both got signed to the same record label this was a no brainer and was I think no. 2 at Xmas that year in the charts. You should also check out the song playing at their on-screen wedding by Angry Anderson called Suddenly. It's better than it sounds, and is a belter!!!
Yes this is sugary sweet, but imagine being in a small space surrounded by big, sweaty hairy men singing this at the top of their lungs with their drinks spilling everywhere at 430am - the target audience lol
This sold over 1 million copies in the UK - it was huge!

Their wedding on Neighbours was the biggest television event of the 80’s in Australia and the UK. They went out IRL. This song was massive haha

Always found it odd that the two biggest Neighbours stars didn't make it in Hollywood-while Guy Pearce & Alan Dale did.
Love Kylie and Jason then
I was a teenager when this came out! I loved Neighbours!! Esp Kylie. But this is way too sugary!! Thanks Empress xx
