I knew she was from Australia and I knew that is where she started but I didn't know if she was still popular there. I hope people understand we aren't making fun of Kylie.

I do greatly admire Australian artists.

There is so much talent in Australia.

I see it as my duty in some way is to be out in the world as an Australian putting forward what I consider to be authentic Australian music.

People love events - they love performances, they love music - and I think Australians are great entertainers.

Incredibly, I've been mistaken for Kylie Minogue many times. People look at me, and you can see them thinking, 'She's somebody - but I don't know who.'

I've always said that Adele has turned so many people on to British singers - whether female singers or just like music from this country in general.

I like Kylie Minogue sometimes - I like a lot of unusual stuff... I don't know - I like Justin Timberlake over Lady Gaga, just musically.

It's always a pleasure to perform for people who love country music. And Australians definitely fall into that category. Each time I go back, I learn something new about the country, and I get to see some of the most beautiful places on the planet.

When I was a kid, I always had a big thing for Dannii Minogue. Initially I liked Kylie, but I quickly moved on to Dannii. There was always something more alluring about her. I think I actually wrote to her asking if we could meet.
