Nikki not only has Olivia’s voice. She has that same sweet soft and carring appearance. Nikki is a great singer with such a sweet and easy listening voice.

Stop simping, she's good but not on that level. The belting range is not as big as ONJ

[@habsom1406]

Wow, just came across this by accident, I like the original song by ONJ and I certainly wasn't expecting that performance at all. Tone, pitch, intonation, range, control and harmony all superb and surely star quality (never heard of Nikki before). And on top of all that, the lady is stunningly beautiful.

[@charliebowman785]

The only beautiful version not sang by Olivia and to be true, is way too beautiful. I guess this girl Nikki (I suppose) is also a soprano. The execution is outstanding great. Thank you for such a gift. Please go on with all her songs.

[@bubblehead78]

OMG! This is SO fantastic, Nikki. "Hopelessly Devoted To You" is one of my two most favorite ONJ songs. Love, love, love it! It is truly amazing how ONJ you can sound like. I can't stop smiling. Kudos to the guys as well. I especially like the way the video was put together with the guys overlaid in the four corners. Excellent! Now... when is the next one? lol.

No, she's not Olivia. She's Nikki...which is better, IMO. (No disrespect intended to Livvy, who is forever my girl.) Nikki is organic. She's singing from her heart and with soul, without gadgets or sleaze. She's feminine, beautiful, sexy, and talented without being over-the-top. Just refreshing and lovely!

[@2904mossie]

What hooked me to hscc was your take on the ONJ song, magic. That vocal, coupled with Darren's incredible mixing, and your daughters harmonies were outstanding. I'm so delighted that you and Darren are back making music again and I look forward to do much more. You and Danny were my favourite vocalists in that group so here's to the future with Darren working his magic.

This suddenly appeared on my KZbin feed and not having seen you, Nikki, for what seems like such a long time, I was enchanted and enthralled . Ten seconds in I instantly recognised the production sound and read the notes with delight. My headphones came to life with all the perfection in balance and big, big sound. It’s such a sweetly beautiful song and you and the band, along with producernerd, elevated it even further. I’ve missed you all and you’ve made my Sunday…….or perhaps my week! 👏👏🤘🏽🥰😘😎🍾🥂

[@bronstet]

First off, what a beautiful rendition of this classic song. Note for note perfect. Nice job, Nikki. Second, sorry to hear of the breakup between HSCC and you and Danny. Obviously members always come and go in all bands, even a cover band. The pursuit of the arts is a beautiful thing and a heartbreaking thing that both brings and gives much joy and much pain in life. I will continue to enjoy their work even as I enjoy your solo work. Hope you pick up more gigs as things open up. Best wishes.
