Having enjoyed phenomenal success in the UK since the late 1980s, Kylie was back home in Australia in 1994 to host the People’s Choice Awards.
In this short excerpt from the ceremony, Kylie shares some on-stage banter with one of her co-presenters, M Yunupingu from Yothu Yindi.
Although highly scripted, the exchange between the pair is funny and sweet and gets a great reaction from the audience, which includes Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum and John Farnham.
In contrast with earlier awards ceremonies where Kylie has been a recipient, this clip reveals a more mature performer. She now looks more comfortable fronting an audience of her peers.
