Kim Wilde Pop Don´t Stop: Ask Me Anything! Send me your questions in the comments below... 

Oh so many questions to ask. Do you have plans to release the aborted 1998 album? Would you consider releasing more unreleased songs like "Time To Live Your Life" or alternate mixes of later material like "You Keep Me Hangin On", "If I Can't Have You" or your solo version of "Shine On".

So nice a Q&A! How do you see your future in the music industry? Do you want to continue as long as your father? (I hope so;)) & what is your absolute favourite song to sing live? Will there ever be a meeting in NL? :)

Hello Kim. There are many artists that had great hits in the 80's and are not proud of them because for example everything was managed by their record companies and so on. What about you? What feelings do you have about your production of the eighties?

I wasn’t born when you started out, but I love 80s artists and music more than anything else as I feel the warmth soul and emotion in much of the music of that era . I have a few questions and my first question is, if you could’ve been in another group in the 80s what group would you like to have been in? My second question is, I once heard nik kershaw say he doesn’t like I won’t let the sun go down on me, are there any of your own songs you’re not that keen on? My third question is, over the years you’ve had many artists who have supported you on tour, who have been amongst your favourite artists to have supported you? My fourth question is, what unreleased material of yours exists and will it ever be released ? My last question is, after 40 years in music, is their any musical ambition you feel you still want/need to fulfill

Does your mother still do something vocal( because she used to be in The Vernons Girls)? Love your work and your real emotions, ever since the beginning of the 80's.

Like others here, I want to ask you to talk about the late 90s album that was never released. Was it completed, why was it not released at the time and most importantly: will we see released (on physicals, of course!). Also, are there any plans to release your later albums on vinyl (the ones that never saw a vinyl release back when they first came out). Can´t wait to receive the deluxe and standard CD´s, along with the Shine On 7"! Hope there will be a vinyl version too!

Is there any chance to see deluxe editions of your '90s albums "Love Moves", "Love Is." and "Now & Forever"?

Hello, Kim =) I believe you are the composer of the song "Shangri-La", and that you also wrote the lyrics to it? This is one of my favourite songs of all time. And the lyrics are pure dark gold. Did you ever consider writing a poem book? All the best from a metal musician and great fan!

Hello Kim juste te dire merci pour tous ces moments musicaux fantastique.

In the 80's and 90's there were hundreds of UK and american pop rock singers and bands playing on the radio here in Brazil but I don't know why I never ever listened to you back then. What a sweet surprise when in 2019 (I was 50) watched THAT kids in america clip for the first time.... I couldn't stop watching it....not a glance! What a charming talented girl!!!!! I just want to THANK YOU!!!!!! If you read this comment I will be so glad! My question is: what is your foreign (non-english) favorite song ?

Dear Kim. I am a huge fan since 1981, bought every album, every single and inhaled every single one of your songs ( A and B sides) Question 1: I'm still celebrating your last album. What a masterpiece! As I cant get enough of your brilliant art, i have to ask you: do you already have plans for your next masterpiece album? Alien No2 maybe? Question 2: How do you feel about releasing a CD with acoustic versions of your songs? Question 3: (Most Important question) I dont want to leave this earth without getting to know you personally once before. What can I do? Billion Thanks to the whole Wilde family for giving to me the most beautiful soundtrack of my life I could possibly ever have imagined.

And another very important question, will you ever do an anti tour or tour dvd? 🙏🏻♥️😘😍

One thing I must ask as well: will there ever be CD deluxe versions of your 90s albums, similar to the fabulous CLOSE deluxe?

Goodness me, where to even start…. Loving this! Lots of questions on the unreleased 1998 album and hopeful deluxe versions of Love Moves, Love Is and Now & Forever (LOVE THAT ALBUM please release on vinyl!) Aside from that, here are some of my questions…. 1. What does a typical day in the life of Kim look like these days? 2. Do you ever find yourself singing your tunes randomly - in the shower, gardening, shopping etc (if so which is a favourite - I’m guessing not ‘just another guy! 😂) 3. So many of your fans (including me!) have been with you through all these years and you’re genuinely part of our everyday life with so many memories of tours, albums, singles, tv appearances etc how does it make you feel that we’re still with you cheering you on? 4. Do you ever see a time when you’ll stop? (hopefully not - pop don’t stop!) 5. Will you be writing your own personal autobiography in the future? 6. Fun fact that no one knows about you? 7. Most random / thoughtful / heart felt gift you’ve ever received from a fan (is it a mini Lego Kim figure?!!!) Thanks for doing this! You’re the best x

I have adored you since "say you really want me." I remember how scandalized people were by something that is tame by todays standards. You are and have always been an ICON in my eyes. So glad to see you sharing your art and talent again. Big love from the ATX! XOXOX

I pre-order the deluxe expanded edition of Pop Don’t Stop: Greatest Hits on July 19. I got two coloured vinyl records such as Kim Wilde and Select. I will be ordered the coloured vinyl record of Catch As Catch Can. I love your hat Kim Wilde and I’m so very proud of you for your both songs Shine On and You’re My Karma. So I already pre-order the deluxe expanded edition of Pop Don’t Stop: Greatest Hits.

What are your feelings about the track "Dancing in the Dark," from Catch as Catch Can and how did you come to record the song and how did Nile Rogers become involved with the remix?

Hi Kim - is there one song that you've never performed live that you'd really like to and if so which song? Love you and all your work - thank you! x

Will you ever release your unreleased 1998/1999 unreleased album? As all your albums are so very good, and I bet this one is worth releasing, even though it didn't surface! As I know you wanted it as part of/in your fourthcoming greatest hits package!!

Kim to me you are the best female artist in the history! If I combine your voice, your music quality and quantity and of course your beauty, YOU are the best!!! I want to believe that you will continue recording every 12 or 18 months. Music needs you! So, my question is: will you come to Greece for a concert after the pandemic? Please, come!! We love you! Keep on writing great pop music with SYNTHESIZERS! Long live the 80s! Greetings from Greece, yours forever, Takis.

Which single were you most surprised by it's chart performance, either a poor or an excellent reception??

No question. I just wanted to thank you for all your awesome music over the years...👍😉💜 Thanks so much, Kim!...♥️😘♥️

Yours 80s was state of the art,period

Marty Wilde was an adopted name for your dad when he was first recording. So is Wilde your legal name or also just for the stage

MUCH LOVE FROM GREECE!!!!!!!!

you are always my favorite female singer since 80s ---- iam arab egyption not speaking english but i love you all the time

Dear Kim! Why does your great song „Words fell down“ not appear on the new Greatest Hits album Pop Don‘t Stop? And why haven‘t you been singing your big hit „Can‘t get enough of your love“ in your live shows for many years now?

Hey Kim, I have always loved your ever-changing and fabulous style throughout the years, particularly your video and tour ensembles; do you work with a stylist to bring your inspiration to life? And are your tour outfits bespoke? On the "Pop Don't Stop Greatest Hits" cover you wear your father's very rock 'n roll jacket with a pair of divine red leather gloves. What's the story behind the gloves, do tell! Very much looking forward to your next Australian tour; the champagne is on ice! 🥂 ❤ Lisa x

Обалдеть!Ким Уайлд до сих пор молодая!!!

The track Name And Number you recorded with Boy George. Will there ever be a video for it and a cd official release? It's a KILLER! ... Also, any chance of getting Matt Pop to do a 12" Extended version of View From A Bridge in true Early 80s style? The 12" Extended versions he did for Cambodia and Child Come Away were a treat. I NEED an original style 12" of View From A Bridge, my favourite EVER Kim track xxxxxx

Kim no question I just think your so beautiful and just love all your songs my favourite is you came x

Which current artist would you like to collaborate with?

“Shine On” is absolutely brilliant. Do you have plans to work with Boy George again? Your voices blend so well.

Hi Kim! I just want to ask this: what is the history behind your wonderful collaboration with Nena? By the way, this version of "Anyplace Anywhere Anytime" is now my favourite. :D Greetings from Mexico.

You came is my favorite song. Love it so much.😘😘

There are very few artists whose B-sides are just as good as the A-sides; yours have always been spectacular. Do you have a favorite b-side and is there any track you fought to get on an album but couldn't?

And finally, which songs would've you have liked to see released as singles but weren't?

How do you manage to look so well after all these years, what do you do, what you do to yourself and your interests and times.

First of all I would like to thank you for all the wonderful music you bring to the world. You are such an amazing artist! I have two questions: 1) which one of your cover songs did you enjoy the most when reconding it (besides “You keep me hangin on” which is a classic tune) and 2) which one of your recondings did you hate the most and why? Sometimes it’s interesting to know what are your feelings about them.

Hi Kim, will you please sing can't get enough of your love at next year's greatest hits tour? I'm going to the Bridgewater Hall show in Manchester. Its a great song which is not performed live often enough and would be great to hear again. X

Dear Kim, I have always loved you very much, but I especially really loved your duets with Boy George, your 2 voices complement each other and combine wonderfully well !! I still wish you could work together again, why not for making a fantastic Hit for Christmas ! 👍🤗🤩👏

My fav song is you singing born to be wild were i sing my own lyrics I WAS BORN TO MARRY KIM WILDE lol Good luck huni xxx all the very best to you and the family xx

Singing Birthday Song live with Scarlett would be a wonderful & emotional experience now that she's part of the band. Do you think you'll ever bring this lush synthetic masterpiece to the live stage?

Hi Kim. My name is Harry and I’m autistic and I love your music. Even being 21 it’s cool to be into the 80s music. My question is out of all the videos you have done in the 80s which one are you most proud of and why?

Hello Kim, been a fan from Canada since the 80’s it’s nice to see your still singing. What’s your favourite place to holiday and do a concert?

'Allo lovely, Ken from Sydney here, Hope you are well. I would like to know if you will release any or all albums post Catch as Catch Can, on coloured vinyl? Also Pop Don't Stop on coloured vinyl. I would like to continue adding to my collection. Love your work Missing you Down Under Xx

Stunner

Adorabile KIM✌👼🙋

Dear "Kim"; My questions:1-What do you think is the reason why the great songs of the 80's can't be made today? 2-Was it your idea to sing "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by "Vanilla Fudge"?

Dear Kim, I've been a fan since the beginning. We had a sattellite in the early 80's in northern Canada so I was aware of you before most of the rest of North America! I had to special order a lot of your albums! I was always fascinated by your electro-pop cool sound which led me to pursue electronic music. I have always wanted to remix all of your tracks but it's almost near impossible to find studio acapellas. Any chance of you releasing some of them so perhaps your fans can show their appreciation by remixing/showcasing various interpretations of your songs? Perhaps a remix contest?

Hi Kim, we love you in Mexico too, are you planning to come soon in your next tour?

You once saw a UFO, if it landed, would u get on ?

Hiii Kim. I saw you in concert in Melbourne November 2016 with my brother and friend. It was a surreal experience. I couldn’t believe I was there. Back in the eighties when I got home from school, my mum hid my Kids in America single because I kept playing it over and over. My mum returned it after I promised her I won’t keep playing it all the time 😂 Did you have a favourite song you drove your parents up the wall with??? Xxxooo

My fav song of yours was You Came. Still play it to this day. Always wondered what your fav song was that you had to sing everynight.

Greetings Kim.. A thanks.. I Mark have been a huge collector of you since day Your music has been a healer.. Like for me Mark my girlfriend was killed by a drunk driver in Feb 1997 and my longest childhood friend killed himself the following October due to his loss.. My Wife Mandy went blind in 2005 at age 29.. Your music helped so much in healing process.. We always be thankful.. We are friends with Ricky and Mandy that has meant so much as well.. We wish you and the whole family all the best wishes always.. Question what is your favorite song that wasn't a hit of yours?? All the best and blessings.. From us both Mark And Mandy..

Bonjour cette chanson " You Came " reste dans ma mémoire ! Je me suis réveillé et ça tournait dans mon rêve ! Et voici justement votre message quand je me suis connecté , en français on se dit " Quelle coïncidence " Une question qui est mon ressenti, puis-je vous dire avec mon humble Respect , Merci Beaucoup pour ces Moments Musicaux ~ Hello this song " You Came " remains in my memory ! I woke up and it was spinning in my dream ! And here is precisely your message when I connected in French we say " What a coincidence " A question which is my feelings with my humble Respect, can I say to You Thank You Very Much for all these Musical Moments

My lovely Kim, greetings and hugs from Greece! I would like to ask you, from all your career until now which video you enjoyed the most making and which is your favourite by far! ♥️❤️❤️♥️ Love u heaps, John

Hi Kim, I remember there was a cover story for the magazine “Flexi-Pop” where they had you meet Simon Le Bon. What really happened? :)

MORE VINYL RE RELEASES,,, 180 GRAM GATEFOLD PLEASE!!! LOVE YOU!!!

Keep me hang’n on it’s the BEST NO.1 in The USA & in my heart ❤️ 1986 😍

hello kim, you could maybe do a small concert similar to christmas? greetings frome germany and stay safe .😊🤘

What was your reaction when you found out You Keep Me Hangin' On had gone to #1 in the US? During that decade you were one of only three British female solo artists to have achieved that.

How is it for you getting older and have to say goodbye to familymembers, friends or people you worked with? Donˋt forget - your soul is young, your heart and brain, too? Do you watch tv what you have seen in childhood? Or read a book what you have readen in childhood? (So you will Stay in brain and Heart Young dear Kim)

До чего же красивой Ким была в молодости!! Она и сейчас великолепна!👏👍🌺

Hi Kim! Are there any plans from Cherry Red to release new remastered and expanded editions of Teases & Dares and Another Step after the Greatest Hits compilation comes out? Similiar to the ones released in 2020 for your first three RAK albums. Is there any unused material/songs from those sessions that you would like the fans to hear?

Hi Kim so excited for your GH! My Q will be there is another Man you met in your fabulous career who's even more famous in EU/ Russia etc., then Michael Jackson & Bowie , -and that was French actor Alain Delon & son Anthony Delon! What was that experience like for you were you star-track at all or you didn't care much for him ? Did you make music -video with Anthony Delon & Alain Delon i saw few photos you & him sitting together or was he auditioning for 1 of your videos? :) PS: few years ago -even Madonna wrote a song about him -call "Beautiful Killer ( You'll never be Alain Delon)" .

"Born To Be Wilde", - how did it come about - the cover of Steppenwolf!

Hello Kim! I have been a fan of your music since quarantine started. Could you explain the story and the creation of the track "Water on Glass" from your debut album? It's now one of my favorite songs of all time and I listen to it frequently! Also, how did you get involved with German singer Nena on her 2002 version of Anyplace Anywhere Anytime? (Im a huge Nena fan as well) Thank you and have a good day!

Hi Kim! I've so much question so I've to select: What's your most favourite album of your carreer, and favourite b-side and why? What do you think about "Is It Over", how easy or hard was record it? And finally: do you plan more albums in the future? Sorry for many questions! You're my favourite since the beginning, when I was 5 :) and ordered the boxset edition of greatest hits.:)

What is your favorite version of Star Trek? (i.e. TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, or Discovery)

What was your favourite video shoot you ever done? Also keep up the great music Kim ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Kim. Big fan here since day one, I was even interviewed on radio 2 once about my favourite tracks. My question is what are your memories of visiting Torquay in Devon? Thank you

Is the song "You keep me hangin on" inspired by your life? I love this song and Cambodia! Grates from Romania🇹🇩❤

Hi Kim, What was working in theatre like and would you do it again? I saw you twice in Tommy and you were fantastic but appreciate it must have been hard work doing eight shows a week.

Kim, I have a question about the situation at a concert in Poland in Sopot in 1988, when two guys jumped on the stage and started dancing with you while you were performing "Cambodia". What did you feel and think about this whole situation then? Best regards, Kamil from Poland :)

Hi, my name is Emilija, I'm 12 years old, and i LOVE your music. My question is how did you became so successful ?

THANKS Kim, Just wonder how you got to be on RAK Records, Did you ever meet Suzi Quatro, when Suzi briefly returned to Rak or just met Suzi along the way and Would a duet between the two of you, ever be considered????💜

Hello Kim, will you be touring on the other side of the pond? It would be great to see you live in the states. Thank you.

Hello Kim, I love your songs since the begining. A few years ago, I was so surprised and pleased to hear you singing "première rencontre" in french. How did you discover this wonderful song of Françoise Hardy? Love from France 🇫🇷

Hi Kim, I was wondering if you could give us a clue about the girl singer who stopped you from performing at the band aid concert back in the 80's ? Lots of love ♥️

How did the unreleased Nathan Moore duet from 2001, "If There Was Love" come about then?

Hi Kim, Big fan here in Australia. Two questions…. Will you tour Australia again soon ? Will there be a deluxe expanded edition of Love Moves (my favourite album of yours) ? Thank you

What's your favorite track from each of your albums and why?

Hi Kim, You did Rick Astley and Dead or Alive covers (duet/concerts) which were produced by Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Have you ever been approached by that legendary team music? If so, what happened ? Or did you consider them bad in your time ? We can say that all their songs now have become classics, don't you think so ?

Hi Kim :) ... What is your EVER FAV. career high light looking back and what's it like watching yourself on TV? Can't wait holding your Greatest hits in my hands and absoulutly can't wait to see you back on stage again. Lots of Love from Germany Katrin

Question You have done duets with boy george etc if you could only pick 1 person to do a duet with out of the late greats of of george michael ..david bowie..freddy mercury ..or elvis which 1 would you chose????

Hey Kim - great idea! I came from Orlando Florida to see you at Koko in London and it was the best live show I’ve seen. My question is: are there any album tracks that weren’t released as singles but which you consider real hidden gems? For me it’s I Fly. Amazing song which got me over the finish line in the London Marathon back in 2010. Keep doing what you, Ricky, Scarlett and the team do. Love it.

Hey Kim, when will be able to listen to the lost album of ‘98? 🙏

Dzień dobry! Do you remember a scene invasion from Sopot 1988? That was 2 guys dancing with you and even more of people giving you flowers. A video with that performance became viral, don't know if you're aware :) What did you feel back then? It's hard to guess from your face expression if you were more amused or terrified. What I know for sure is that you were shocked :) Greetings from Poland!

Hi lovely talented Kim 😍 Can we make a suggestion for the opening song for your next tour? Here’s mine… : The Touch. 😘🥂 The one that i always get from you Kim is…Incredible… and so right 👌💋

What was it like impersonating Carly Simon on Stars In Their Eyes - I bet you felt the magic, shame you couldn't cover Carly on your Snapshots album also! the 9th of August is my birthday. Not only that, but I'll be 30, so here's hoping your pick one of my questions to answer to help me celebrate!!

Hi Kim! In an interview last year you mentioned the release of the 1998 album The Promise. Can we expect it soon ?

Dear Kim, Will we ever be able to listen to the lost album of 1998 ? Any chance of it being released?

Would you ever consider putting out an album of unreleased tracks from your career?

I watched you last few videos and can't help myself to ask have you tried to dye your famous platinum blond hair with even more famous "darker roots" ? to achieve that perfect balance for that perfect face of yours for the camera. FYI Loved "You are my Karma " hope there will be a Video . :) xo

Hello Kim,greetings from Germany to you and your family,i have too many questions,so I really have to meet you to answer them all;)stay healthy,i hope you do a Video for KARMA🌹

Another question Kim : in a 1993 interview, talking about the single coming after the hit If I can't have you, you said it would be a duet with a gorgeous man. We got In my life instead, but can you tell us who was supposed to sing with you and which song it was ? Thanks!

Kim, I am 45 years old. I wrote music all my life. I chose to do a sensible career of a lecturer. I teach music production at a university... Now, the time has changed. I want to release my music. I have an album of music ready and mastered. But I am worried, that it may be too late. What do you think?

Is there any plans to release a live dvd in the future? Either an older live show but also more recent live show would be amazin? Were there any shows filmed during the Aliens Live tour that might see the light of day someday?

What is your mainopinion about musicmanagement in general and the artistic freedom ? Cheers from Sweden !
