Dannii Minogue 2008 Wallpapers

Danielle Jane Minogue (born October 20, 1971) is an Australian singer-songwriter, television personality and occasional actress, model and fashion designer. Minogue rose to prominence in the early 1980s for her roles in the Australian television talent show Young Talent Time and in the long-running Australian soap Home and Away, before commencing her career as a pop star in the early 1990s.

Minogue achieved early success with hits such as “Love and Kisses” and “This Is It”, though by the release of her second album, her popularity as a singer had declined, leading her to concentrate on other fields such as television presenting. The late 1990s saw a brief return to music after Minogue reinvented herself as a dance artist with “All I Wanna Do”, her first number one UK Club hit. In 2001, Minogue further returned to musical success with the release of her biggest worldwide hit to date, “Who Do You Love Now?”, while her subsequent album, Neon Nights, became the most successful of her career. In the UK, she has achieved eleven number one dance singles, becoming the best performing artist on the UK Upfront Club Chart.

Minogue is currently signed to All Around the World and, in 2006, released her second official “best of” compilation, The Hits and Beyond. In 2007, Minogue became a talent judge on Australia’s Got Talent and The X Factor.

Minogue’s private life, including her marriage to Australian actor Julian McMahon and engagement to both Canadian Formula One driver Jacques Villeneuve and former Bros band member Craig Logan, has been much discussed in the media. She has promoted gay rights causes throughout the world, and is noted for her work to increase awareness of AIDS.

Australian-native Dannii Minogue has stepped into many professional roles in her life that placed her in the public eye, including singer, songwriter, actress, and even fashion designer. She started singing and dancing lessons very early, then performing in Australia on the television series Skyways when she was only seven years old. Her next venture landed her a place with Young Talent Time. She appeared on her first album with them in 1985, taking a solo spotlight on one song.

By 1988 her first line of clothes, DANNII, was on the market, and selling fast. A short year later, Dannii signed a recording contract with the Mushroom Records label and around the same time, was working on the soap opera Home & Away. In 1990, her debut single, “Love & Kisses,” was released and landed on the charts right out of the starting gate. A self-titled album followed. She soon captured her first gold record. It should be noted that all of these impressive accomplishments listed above were achieved even before Dannii turned the ripe old age of 21. Danielle Jane Minogue was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1971.

She arrived with some God-given talents, but worked hard with lessons to improve them. After several television shows and singing parts, Dannii went solo in 1989. Two years later she finished work on her first album, Love & Kisses. The debut carries pop/rock and club/dance-style songs like “Party Jam,” “Jump to the Beat,” “Baby Love,” and “I Don’t Wanna Take This Pain.” That same year, the album was re-released, but changed from a 12-track to a 16-track offering. It hit the market in Australia, Japan, and the U.K., taking different titles in some cases, like DANNII or Party Jam, but still managing to bring in new fans from each country. The excellent album’s title track went gold for the young star, and a number of its other tunes became big hits.

By 1993 Dannii had completed her first film and her second album. Her older sister, Kylie Minogue, was riding her own pop star at the time.

In 2007, Minogue was a judge on the Network 7’s variety show Australia’s Got Talent. She is currently appearing as a judge and mentor in the fourth series of ITV’s music talent show, The X Factor, alongside Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh. It was revealed on September 29 that she is mentoring the boys category during the show. She chose Leon Jackson, Rhydian Roberts and Andy Williams to represent her in the live rounds of the competition.

Since her appearances as a judge on the talent show, Minogue has commented “I’ve finally been accepted as me. It’s a fantastic opportunity, for once, not to be compared with Kylie. At last, I’ve found my own slot.” Her chosen acts, Rhydian Roberts and Leon Jackson, became the final two, with Jackson eventually becoming the winner on December 15 after winning the public vote. Her success on the show has led to her considering a career as a music manager.

October onwards saw a total of five releases from Minogue; first, on October 29, reissues of her 1997 and 2003 albums Girl and Neon Nights, each containing a double-disc, the second disc of which includes remixes. On November 5 Minogue released Unleashed, a collection of previously unheard material from her time with London Records, and The Video Collection, which includes every one of her music videos as well as bonus features. Finally, on December 3, a new single was released, entitled “Touch Me Like That”. The song is to be credited as Dannii Minogue vs Jason Nevins, and received its premiere on BBC Radio 1 on the Scott Mills Show, on the morning of October 3.

“Touch Me Like That” was made available to purchase digitally, one week ahead of it’s cd release (November 26, 2007). The single eventually hit the UK singles chart at a diasappointing #48.

Minogue released digital album Club Disco on November 5, 2007. The album includes several previously released singles, such as “You Won’t Forget About Me”, “Perfection” and “So Under Pressure”. Also included is cancelled single “I Can’t Sleep At Night” and a cover of the disco classic “He’s The Greatest Dancer”. The album has another cover, a chilled out version of “Xanadu”.
