On the grand finale of X Factor Australia last night, Kylie, 47, and Dannii Minogue, 44, performed together on live TV for the first time in three decades, and in case you wondering – they’ve still got it.

Back in 1986 the duo sang Sisters Doing it for themselves on Young Talent Time which got the whole of Australia talking, and almost 30 years later they did the exact same thing.

Dressed head-to-toe in typical Minogue glamour, the sisters belted out a track from Kylie’s upcoming Christmas album, 100 Degrees.

The girls’ parents were also in the audience watching on proudly.

But even after decades of performance experience the ladies still felt the pressure with pop princess Kylie admitting, “’I was a little nervous.”

While Dannii revealed that seeing fellow judges, Guy Sebastian, Chris Isaak and James Blunt watching her was a tad stressful.
