Dose of Minogue: Kylie Covers “The Crying Game”

During her 2002 Fever tour, Kylie included a medley of her ballads, which featured a cover of The Crying Game, a song made famous by Boy George for the film of the same title. Kylie starts the medley with a bit from The Crying Game, then proceeds to a section of Put Yourself in My Place. Next, she slides into the chorus of Finer Feelings, then to lyrics from Dangerous Game, and finally returning back to The Crying Game for a beautifully dramatic ending, complete with Kylie bathed in red-rose lighting. It’s another classic example of how her live shows give her the opportunity to belt it out vocally (5:30 – 6:10 is still impressive to this day), all while surrounded by simple, yet stunning visuals.
