Dannii plots chart comeback

X Factor judge to relaunch singing career

By Dan Wootton, 31/12/2008

IT seems that DANNII MINOGUE might be already thinking about life after X Factor - because she's plotting a sensational chart comeback.

I can reveal that the Aussie popstar has been inspired by fellow co-star CHERYL COLE and wants to relaunch her music career.

And the 37-year-old is said to be teaming up with the Freemasons, who have previously worked with her sister KYLIE.

It follows criticism of Minogue's judging credentials and an on-air row with Louis Walsh which reduced her to tears on the ITV1 talent show this year.

A source revealed: "Dannii is sick of the sniping, and seeing Cheryl Cole balance her singing and judging career for the past few months has made her more determined than ever before."

Another insider added: "If it goes well, she may tour and even get way too busy to endure the insults from Louis Walsh."

Minogue's most successful release to date has been 'I Begin To Wonder,' which reached number two in the UK chart in 2003.

But her most recent single 'Touch Me Like That' peaked at number 48 last year.

she has released some catchy stuff - she can sing and she can sing live...listen up cheryl cole (promises on the xfactor strangled cat anyone?)

if she releases anything like neon nights she'll do well :)

i love dannii too and i am so looking forward to a future single and (hopefully) album release. she really needs a strong/stand out song and help from radio stations and nightclubs to get a high chart position. i really was to see her do some PA's up and down the country and that will also help. go dannii - you show em what you are made of.x

Sorry, but she's too old to be launching a comeback-her use by date has passed

I have an autographed copy of Neon Nights that I got from Dannii herself in Sydney. I loved Dannii just as much as any of you but I think she has totally lost the plot. She has become a total caricature of herself. Frankly, she contridicts everything that comes out of her mouth. I wish her all the best but I don't see it happening. Hopefully, I am wrong.

Yep a lots of people care and her Neon Nights Album is still one of my favs. Have you see her live?

If her new stuff is anything like that Album I will but it.

OMG! If she goes on tour i will be so excited! Dannii absolutely rocks. She should release music similar to her neon nights album because that was just genius.

Does anybody really care if Dannii Minogue returns to music? She simply CAN NOT carry a tune!!!
