Kylie, our favourite act at the Odyssey
Pop princess Kylie Minogue was last night voted the hottest act at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast this year.
According to research by the award-winning venue, Kylie, who turned 40 this year, staged the best show of 2008.
The survey was compiled to celebrate the Odyssey’s eighth birthday.
Kylie was joined in the top 10 by fellow female artists Girls Aloud, featuring Londonderry’s Nadine Coyle, and R’n’B sensation Rihanna.
Arena favourites Westlife came second in the popularity stakes followed by rockers Oasis, while Mamma Mia! proved a hit with all ages.
An impressive 59% of those surveyed have visited the Odyssey more than five times in 2008. Westlife, who have played a record number of shows at the Odyssey, attracted the most repeat visitors to one event this year.
Other acts which featured in the top 10 were Nickleback and Boyzone in joint sixth place, Kanye West in 7th, Whitesnake, Dep Leppard (8th) and Lee Evans and McFly (joint 10th).
The success of the Arena looks set to continue with 2009 dates already in high demand. Girls Aloud are set to return alongside the legendary Lionel Ritchie and local band Snow Patrol. Other highlights include extreme sport event Masters of Dirt and family shows Cirque du Soleil and Cbeebies.

Sligo Rovers boosted by Westlife donation
Sligo Rovers have expressed their delight at a donation of 25,000 euro from Westlife.
The donation comes as the Sligo super-group bought band memorabilia from the club after avid collector Gavin Walsh donated the items which he accumulated over the past ten years.
Sligo Rovers' Robbie Fitzpatrick said that this was an incredible gesture especially in the current climate of league of Ireland football.
The money is a welcome boost to the club who have been well documented as struggling financially.
Speaking to Ocean FM News, Mr Fitzpatrick said that the donation is extremely important to the club.
Meanwhile Gavin Walsh who donated the collection to Sligo Rovers said that he is delighted that the memorabilia has gone to where it belongs.
