London, May 3 (IANS) Pop superstar Madonna and Australian singer Kylie Minogue will unofficially compete with each other as both are set for a concert in France. Minogue will be launching her tour in Paris and Madonna will be performing a free concert nearby, mirror.co.uk reported. Minogue, who turns 40 soon, is under pressure to put up a great show as Madonna will be a sure crowd puller.

An inside source said: “The pressure is on Kylie to compete with Madge (Madonna) as she draws in crowds for a free gig just across town in the Olympic stadium.”

The odds are stacked against Minogue as her album managed to peak only at No.139 on the Billboard charts.
