Two of the great pop acts, who found early fame in Australia but then moved to London to secure international stardom – that’s Kylie Minogue and The Bee Gees.
But who were the most successful – who had the biggest singles and albums, who were the better singers, who had the biggest breakthrough and then, after a fallow period, the best comeback?
Who was the better dance act, the better live act, who was more lasting and important?

How is this even a debate?
Bee Gees are geniuses.
For sure still dance and sing along to their fantastic songs
How can you compare a single artist with a band like the Bee Gees
And then two bothers died and still they make out Kylie is so wonderful to carry on for 5 decades

Kylie isn’t a patch on what the Bee Gees mean to people and the influence they had on other artists.
Everyone’s heard of the Bee Gees music, couldn’t say that about Minogue.
It’s embarrassing that this is even a question.
End of…
Sorry Kylie, your good, but Bee Gees are so much better and sold many more records. They wrote their own songs and also many hits for other singers. Really no comparison. Bee Gees take the win.
Totally agree but who was the narrator, British guy. His voice sounded familiar
This was cringeworthy nonsense. The Bee Gees are the world’s best songwriters, singers and artists in general and Kylie is the singing budgie who was in a bad soapie.
The comparative categories for the two artists are so ridiculous. I think it is indicative of how the media continues to treat its audience as morons . The Bee Gees are song writers, musicians, and performers whilst Kylie Minogue is neither a songwriter nor a musician. Kylie is most definitely a consummate performer. Based on this premise any artist could have been compared to the other. Let’s do Olivia Newton-John versus INXS . And then Nick Cave vs ACDC. Finally Channel 7 can do Helen Reddy vs Silverchair.
Boring, incomprehensible, and uninspired Channel 7. Your audience deserves better!
The beegees are better by far,can’t stand kylie
Kylie WHO what an absolute joke . Who was the complete and utter Nit Wit from channel 7 that could possibly think that Kylie was in the same class as the Fabulous Bee Gees they were one of the greatest bands ever. I didn’t waist my time watching this rubbish. Channel 7 is getting worse on the sunrise news they reported it was Breaking News that the politicians were attending church before the first sitting of Parliament. I think 7 are breaking wind 🤭.
Kylie is in a WAY higher class
Totally different artists, and for all the Kylie haters … Kylie is a absolute icon. I think Kylie wins this pathetic contest. Who the hell came up with this crap … they want firing
I am sure Kylie doesn’t make people cry when she sings, the 3 brothers all had amazing voices, wrote the songs and played the instruments. No dancers, change of outfits , just stand there and do what the audience has paid for, sing, with glorious harmonies.
