The Coldplayer wrote Minogues blurb forTimes 100most powerful people list released on April 17.

Martin does not mention any specific songs or albums of Minogues.

Instead, he focuses on how it felt for him to meet Minogue for the first time.

Kylie Minogue was one of the first people I ever met from TV, Martin writes.

She was a pop star, and I had watched her inNeighboursevery day for a decade.

So when she came to an early Coldplay show, Id already been her fan for nearly 15 years.

Sure, sure, nice story, Mr. Martin, butNeighboursis not the reason shes on theTime100 listthis year.

Its time to get into the specifics.

Its time to let a gay Aussie take over.Maybe letCourtney Actwrite about Kylie Minogue next time, kindly.
