Once again this section has got away from me, and it's been several months since we last looked at live versus studio performances. It's always good to see an artiste creating new, sometimes unique interpretations of their own songs, or the songs of others; occasionally the two come together and you have one of their original songs mixed into an older, perhaps classic song. Such a thing was achieved by Kylie on her “Body Language” tour in 2003, when she played her song “Breathe”, but rearranged it to flow into Serge Gainsbourg's sexy classic, “Je t'aime … moi non plus”, resulting in a total transformation of what was a good song to begin with, but ended up being quite phenomenal.
The version performed on that tour found its way, not surprisingly, onto the live DVD released the following year, “Body Language Live”, and has since become something of a staple on her live appearances. It's certainly given the old song new life, and fits in perfectly with Kylie's sexy, sultry image and her treatment of what was already a very passionate piece of music. Here then as usual are the two versions, the original from her album “Impossible princess” first, then the newer, live remix as it were. See which you prefer.
