The BRIT Awards 2011 Nominees Pictures:

Kylie Minogue showed up at London’s Brit awards in cocktail black to support fellow artists.

Minogue, who spoke before the show, was particularly vocal about Robbie Williams, with whom she recorded the 2000 duet Kids. Williams took the Outstanding Contribution To Music award.

Said Minogue: “He is made for this award and he’s made to be part of the nation’s lives and it’s nice to have him back because he was away for so long.”

Minogue chatted in a relaxed fashion to the UK Sun outside the show, saying she was very excited to be in the running – not nominated – for the best British performance for the past 30 years. “It’s very exciting and to be a contender. It was a really special night for me back in 2002 and I’ve had lots of great Brits experiences from just attending to presenting awards. But this year is kind of like a night off, I just get to watch the show.”

Speaking again of Williams, she said: “He must be absolutely chuffed. I mean he absolutely deserves it because he’s got such a place in everyone’s hearts and musically in their lives. So yeah, I’m very pleased for him.”

Minogue recalled stealing the show in 2002, when she performed I Can’t Get You Out of My Head, and took home a handful of awards. “It was a very special night for me. It would be great [to win again]. I don’t have a life at the moment. I’m basically in the studio right now. I’ve past the halfway mark now. My album will be out this summer and it’s just started to get really exciting.”

When asked about her sister Dannii Minogue’s approaching motherhood, she was also typically generous. She said: “An aunty for the third time. It’s so exciting. Really. I know she’s just come back from South Africa where she’s been working. And I’m looking forward to getting my hands on that baby bump.”
