Impossible Princess Reviews:
Impossible Princess 
2009-10-04 - This is an excellent CD for fans and collectors to buy,it sounds great cool songs,the quality of sound is excellent too.
Very artistic and daring album
2005-03-31 - The original edition of the album 'Impossible Princess' is excellent. You get 12 tracks and a really good taste of Kylie's deconstruction years! This, however, has a 3-D cover and is very limited. It includes the amazing bonus track 'Tears' and also has 2 holographic prints of Kylie which are just so beautiful! You may be thinking you don't want to spend $39 on this CD, but if you're a REAL Kylie fan, you know you want to!
You can also get the re-mastered edition which includes a bonus disc with 12 tracks, 9 remixes and 3 brand new tracks including 'Tears'! Buy now! It is a great buy! Just pick it up!
Not as good as it is hyped to be 
2004-07-05 - Impossible Princess is not that great an album I'm afraid, not as much as it is often hyped up to be, I don't know why many people make such a big fuss out of this album, it really is highly overrated.
I think it's highly regarded by the fans since it's the first thing that kylie has done that isn't of the usual cutesy bubbly pop standard she mainly churns out.
All of sudden people think it gives her the right to be taken seriously as an artist, but it's just highly contrived, and it looks as if kylie tried desperately to jump on the Britpop bandwagon that sweeped the UK in late 1997.
IP isn't anything unique or that out of the ordinary, people had done this before her to a better standard. It's Kylie trying to cast herself in the Bjork/Tori Amos scenario. Unfortunately, she just fails, because she is not them, only Kylie Minogue.
Her fans no doubt will love this though, but you've got to forgive them a little! they don't want Kylie to end up as this little manufactured pop starlet she came to be known as singing other people's songs forever more, and just be known for being a bit of alright.
It's justification to them that Kylie has something more to offer and that there really is more than hot air in her head. Personally, I think Kylie does the cutesy girl pop icon thing we all came to know and love better.
The IP thing comes across as slightly pretentious if you ask me, and it sounds as though Kylie is desperate to be liked, like she is trying far too hard to appeal to older people.
5/5 for the effort though, but it just falls flat in the end in my opinion.
So, so good!
2002-08-21 - Impossible Princess is easily Kylie's best CD. It's a mature statement of who the woman is, how she feels, and why she acts the way she does.
The music itself cannot be classified into a specific genre. Songs range from having a rockier feel (Some Kind of Bliss, I Don't Need Anyone), to being dancier (Tears), to being trancy (Breathe). The only constant factor in each song is a feeling of greatness. Each and every song is fantastic, and Kylie very obviously knows it.
I recommend this CD to almost anyone. It really is a fantastic album
Some kind of bliss
2002-05-05 - 2002 is Kylie Minogue's year. "Fever" has reintroduced the United States to the Aussie pop princess with her first US hit in years "Can't Get You Out of My Head". I personally have rediscovered Kylie with "Light Years" a couple of years ago. I have heard nothing but good things about "Impossible Princess" which some fans consider Kylie's most personal album to date like "Behaviour" was to the Pet Shop Boys. "Impossible Princess" is definitely different from "Light Years" and "Fever". Those albums is much disco-influenced in comparison to this album. "Impossible Princess" is a mixture of pop and rock but still danceable nonetheless. I didn't know what to think of this album on the first listen but on the second time I listened to the album, the songs just really clicked with me. I absolutely loved "Cowboy Style" and "Some Kind of Bliss", two of my favorite tracks off the album. I don't think people who got hooked on Kylie with "Fever" would be much interested in "Impossible Princess" since there really isn't a single tune on this album as catchy as "Can't Get You Out of My Head" but for those who want tto explore Kylie's back catalog, this is the album to get. Now while it sold poorly, "Impossible Princess" is an artistic success for Kylie. This album is quite a contrast to "Light Years" and "Fever", and equally enjoyable to listen to.
