France gives top cultural honour to Kylie Minogue

France has awarded Kylie Minogue its highest cultural honour in a Paris ceremony ...
Christine Albanel today gave Minogue, who kicks off a European concert tour in Paris tomorrow, the Order of Arts and Letters

How does an English Language pop singer get such an award from France?

Is it for the singing or the lingerie line?

And is it really the highest award too?

Must be a drought in fashion and music in France.

The French have always had appreciation for the good stuff and Aunt Kylie is all good..

Hey, France is an open and enlightened society. We honour the very best of the cultural achievements of all nations. We appreciate that in Australia's 200 year history, this is Kylie Minogue.

At least the French are an honest people.

I didn´t realize French cultural orders came out like cereal prizes

when you´re handing these things out to the likes of Kylie you´re scrapping the bottom of the barrel...I mean...I´ll admit she´s incredibly hot...especially for her age...but that isn´t really a cultural achievement,
neither is that lab-concocted electronic pop noise she calls her music.

And what a remarkable bottom it is.

Warning: lyrics towards the middle are a bit... angry... Probably NSFW if you play it loudly.

I can´t understand them so I can´t judge correctly..

but even if they suck....one pile of garbage doesn´t make another one smell nicer by comparison.

anyway I prefer to listen to something more along the lines of this

It was a passionate plea for the world to stop centering their lives around one thing, ningen*.
