White Diamond/Homecoming Reviews:
DIsk one great, two is unreadable 
2009-11-01 - The video is very well done, unfortunately Amazon keeps sending foreign produced packages with an unreadable disk two (the concert). This packaging problem is also reported on the web by people buying from other sources.
Buy this at your own risk, I'll be returning mine for the third time, hoping for a USA readable copy.
Kylie Came home
2009-11-01 - in 2009 USA got a taste (finally) of the pop princess Kylie Minogue and now they should go out and buy all her music and her concert DVD's. I have been a fan since i was a kid and now i am making a Kylie collection and you should to.

2009-10-02 - This is a great buy for all the die-hard KM fans! A 2-disc DVD set of both her documentary titled "White Diamond" and her Showgirl - Homecoming Tour! Here's a summary of disc 1:
basically, it's a documentary that goes behind the scnenes of the Showgirl Homecoming Tour. You get to see Kylie meeting with fashion designers Dolce and Gabbana who worked on one of her costumes. You also get to see Kylie during rehearsals and her personality offstage. A nice bonus feature to this DVD is the performance of Kids with her sister Dannii Minogue. The documentary was showcased in theatres in Australia and was received negative reviews by critics because Kylie wasn't acting like a "diva"(I guess the critics wanted this to be like Madge's Madonna - Truth or Dare). Personally, I enjoyed the documentary - it shows how Kylie has a warm and caring personality.
Here's disc 2:
Kylie returns to the stage to continue her Showgirl Tour. Her previous Showgirl Tour was postponed due to her battle with first stage breast cancer. Now, she's back and ready to take on the world! The set is the same with new additions of LCD screens and costumes. Here's the setlist:
ACT 1: Homecoming - Kylie appears in a pink feathered showgirl dress
1. Overture/Better The Devil You Know - Kylie returns to her hometown Melbourne, Australia and receives a standing ovation from the crowd as she appears on stage.
2. In Your Eyes
3. White Diamond
4. On A Night Like This
ACT 2: Everything Taboo - a little reminiscent of Janet Jackson's Whimsical Medley during her tours
5. Shocked
6. What Do I Have To Do?
7. Spinning Around
ACT 3: Samsara - this act replaced the Denial act from the Showgirl 2005 Tour. The stage is set like a desert
8. Confide In Me - has a middle eastern feel to it. Kylie's dancers control Kylie as if she were a puppet.
9. Cowboy Style
10. Finer Feelings - a snippet performed by Kylie's backing vocalist while Kylie dances with her dancers
11. Too Far - it's really cool that Kylie resurrected TF - her vocals are flawless as she hits the soprano range during the bridge!
ACT 4: Athletica - the stage is set as a gym
12. Butterfly (Sandstorm Dub) - an interlude which features an acrobat
13. Red Blooded Woman - Kylie is dressed as a kangaroo-cat like boxer.
14. Slow
15. Kids - Kylie struts the stage and performs with her backing vocalists
ACT 5: Dreams - Kylie wears a stunning red dress
16. Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Kylie sings on a moon
17. Come Into My World - the song is performed as a ballad as Kylie sings on the moon.
18. Chocolate
19. I Believe In You
20. Dreams
ACT 6: Pop Paradiso - Kylie is dressed in a black feathered emsemble
21. Burning Up/Vogue - performed as a dance interlude as Kylie sing the rap from Madge's Vogue.
22. The Loco-Motion - a jazzy performance just like the Showgirl 2005 show.
23. I Should Be So Lucky
24. Hand On Your Heart - a remixed version
ACT 7: Dance of the Cybermen - Kylie and her dancers are dressed as robots
25. Can't Get You Out Of My Head - the intro is from Dr. Who and Kylie emerges on the stage to perform her worldwide hit!
26. Light Years - Kylie sings some lines from her old hit Turn It Into Love
ACT 8: Encore
27. Especially For You - performed as a sing-a-long with the audience
28. Love At First Sight - a nice way to close the show. The LCD displays Kylie's old videos and tours!
Overall opinion: a very enjoyable concert and documentary for all of the KM fans. What are you waiting for? Purchase this DVD!!
3.
Just gets better
2009-01-11 - I bought this double DVD and must say it had me glued to the television screen. The homecoming concert was her best yet and, yes, you have to forgive her manic choreography (every hand is where it needs to be). Kylies voice, sincerity, background singers and musicians did, once again, an amazing show not to mention the eye candy in her back up dancers. Dont miss the deleted scenes, there are some great songs not on the main program.
White Diamond. I really enjoyed this however, I found myself asking when it will be over. You get to know Kylie a bit more and how she moves in public but, not much at all on a personal level however, the shocking point I took from it is just how lonely these "stars" can be. I wouldnt trade spots for the world. Cozy up to this part of the double DVD on a Sunday evening with a glass of Champagne!
