LONDON:

Pop superstar Madonna and Australian singer Kylie Minogue will unofficially compete with each other as both are set for a concert in France.

Minogue will be launching her tour in Paris and Madonna will be performing a free concert nearby, mirror.co.uk reported. Minogue, who turns 40 soon, is under pressure to put up a great show as Madonna will be a sure crowd puller. An inside source said, “The pressure is on Kylie to compete with Madge (Madonna) as she draws in crowds for a free gig just across town in the Olympic stadium.”

The odds are stacked against Minogue as her album managed to peak only at No 139 on the Billboard charts. — HNS
