 Very Welcome Homecoming August 19, 2008
Have to say at the get go, that I'm a little perplexed by some of the reviews - don't really know what some people were expecting - If you've really followed Kylie's career, you'd know that very little or no comments are made about her being problematic, Diva-like or prone to yelling and screaming. Maybe the fact is, she is just very normal and natural and that the candid on camera talks with William and the collapsing with exhaustion is all we haven't really seen before. Does Kylie really need to be screaming hysterically and crying uncontrollably for this to be "warts 'n all"? I'm loving the fact that she was just ordinary - without staged tantrums or ramblings ala Madonna or Elton in their docos.
Absolutely loved this - really does just show her as a normal as possible person despite her life in focus.
As for the bonus concert, again confused by some reviews, I always seem to love each concert more than the last - but having seen Homecoming live, then finally seeing it again here - I've really appreciated how much more relaxed and stress-free she appears on stage. Her previous shows, whilst still engaging the audience, have been very focussed and machine-like. True to her word, Kylie has taken the time to reflect and enjoy the moment - you only have to watch the few re-edits of some songs from UK Showgirl in the extras to see how strained Kylie appeared previously - of course we all know there were other factors present here.
Above all - fantastic DVD for dedicated or casual fans - doco really does goes beyond the backstage glimpses of previous concert DVDs - if only that you see Kylie as an 'ordinary' - funny, uncomfortable at times, person - if you're expecting some sort of expose - you won't really get it - maybe because there isn't really anything more to see!
On a side note - some of the jazz-style, over-doco songs sung by Kylie, are just beautiful - even the harshest critics would surely be surprised by her perfect handling of this style.

Kylie, just simply the best voice and everything.
fantastic cd
 Heart warming!!!! July 10, 2008
I am a Kylie Minogue Fan, when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer I did something special until the day I heard she got back to stage... When her live double disc cd Show Girl Home Coming Live came out I bought with out even thinking about it, I was just glad she was back... But this documentary to me it's not about music, shows or tours, to me it's about Kylie being a "SURVIVOR" in her battle... This film it's was not as emotional as I thought I was going to be, somehow I thought it was filmed while she was battling the cancer, but make no mistake seeing Kylie up in stage again gave me chills... Hearing her sister speaking about how Kylie only her self can know when it's the right time to start again was very heart warming, she also said that what Kylie gets from performing it's all she needs to go on... I respect Kylie as an artist this film shows some what how emotional was coming back onstage for her... I gave it 4 starts just because the film shows a lot of technical aspects like picking the dancers and stuff like that, I thought it would be more of her personal battle with coming back... I loved it though because a lot of moments were very raw and real, honest you might say, I did see a bunch of stuff we as audience don't get to see... Welcome back Kylie, I was glad to hear her responce when she was ask:"why do you do it?" and she didn't answer, he asked:"do you do it for the 12,000 people out there?" to this she answer:"I would do it just for 2 it's all I know what to do"... Spoken like a true artist...
In the silver shadows I will radiate and glow for you... July 1, 2008
A very beautiful documentary put together by William Baker, I didn't find anything strange with this film like some of the other reviews i read. There were a lot of rumors about this film and I'm happy to say thats all they were. I enjoyed the documentary it made me appreciate my Queen even more. Kylie Minogue is a beautiful, intelligent, talented and strong woman. I found that the Homecoming concert was even better than the Showgirl concert! I love this 2 disc set!
the best so far June 17, 2008
Obviously the Homecoming live from Melbourne is much much more better than the Showgirl live from London, with the new song list, new costume, new stage design and of course the brand new KYLIE.
My favorite from this live dvd, is definitely SLOW.
The white diamond film is nothing special except her personal daily routine during her preparing and rehearsal for her homecoming performance. If you are a true fan of her, you will be able to like it. If you ever watch "True or Dare" or "I'm gonna tell you a secret" by Madonna, you more or less can tell what kind of film it is.
