Disco can apparently unite the world, or at least get the Minogue sisters together.
Kylie Minogue is in Australia to launch her Christmas album, Kylie’s Christmas, and perform at the Aria Awards on Thursday night.
Dannii is a judge on Seven’s X Factor.
And so it was that on Tuesday’s X Factor finale the two reunited on TV for the first time in 30 years to sing about the unique joy of a sweltering hot Australian Christmas.
There was a lot of love for the duet, which is not the first performance that the sisters have done together over the years, but it was the first for television, since they appeared together on Young Talent Time in 1986.

I thought the whole thing was kind of embarrassing, to be honest. Cheesy performance and an awful song.
I was looking forward to it and there's no denying they both are great performers and singers - they certainly proved it, however, I was a little embarrassed for them. I'm sorry :(
Me too. I have always been fascinated by Kylie, if not a fan, but it was cringe-worthy- a bit like watching a drag-queen tribute to Kylie! Getting older means doing different things, not going into retirement but just doing something new and challenging. Doing the same songs and the same dance moves and the same old sexy shtick for 3 decades? Not exactly the definition of doing something new. Even Madonna learned to play guitar!
Kylie has been in this business ffor nearly three decades and still does well in the charts. She has done so many different versions of herself over the years. She has (unlike Madge) always been slightly tongue in cheek and not afraid of a bit of kitch.
This was a disco Christmas song. What were you expecting? Adele?
