OH MY GOODNESS!!.. | FIRST TIME HEARING Olivia Newton John - Physical REACTION

[@theoneandonlycharliechill363]

I will always be hopelessly devoted to Olivia. May she be among the Angels forever. Rest in peace, Olivia Newton John.

[@idanwillenchik3050]

Physical was Olivia Newton-John's fifth and final US # 1 hit and it spent ten weeks at # 1 there beginning November 21st 1981. It was the longest running US # 1 hit of the 1980s.

[@hotrod7868]

‘Hopelessly devoted to you’ is a great one completely different

Hopelessly devoted is a song from the movie Grease... beautiful song 🎵❤😍

Oh yeahhhh...yes, yes, ABSOLUTELY! And its from the movie "Grease" as well as "The One that I Want" which you recently reacted to.

Don't care for that one at all, or anything on the Grease soundtrack. For a good ONJ song, try Come On Over, I Honestly Love You, Sam, or Have You Never Been Mellow.

[@joniarmel7308]

She was a sweetheart. In those days working out was huge ..dressing up and going to aerobics. She was being trendy …she can really hit those high notes . Those were the days . Rest In Peace beautiful girl. Classy and lovely. Oh my goodness your baby is adorable.

[@godsspeedify]

Olivia Newton-John was a really really a big deal back in the day... She is very loved today a true fighter .

[@jonm1114]

John Travolta is an actor who can sing, and Olivia Newton-John is a singer who can act. Olivia Newton-John had been a singing star for years before she starred in Grease in 1978. She had mostly done country pop songs, and she had an image as the squeaky-clean nice girl next door. After Grease she kind of went in a new direction, singing straight up pop songs, like "Physical", that had her trading in her squeaky clean image for a sexier public persona. If you want to hear the earlier Olivia Newton-John sound that first made her famous, try "I Honestly Love You".

[@jessenuf]

Her song “Magic” is stellar.

[@DazzleMonroe]

RIP Olivia Newton John. I'm devastated

[@darrinlindsey]

Olivia Newton-John IS a big deal, as Amber said. Everything she touched in the late 60s, through the 70s and into the 80s, turned to gold (or platinum). My favorites are Let Me Be There and Have You Ever Been Mellow. Both of those are from the 70s.

Another good source of OLNs artistry is the movie "Xanadu". She portrayed a "muse". Best tracks were her together with ELO (The electric Light Orchestra). "Suddenly" is one of the best songs ever with "I'm Alive" a close second. Not to mention the title song "Xanadu".

There was only one track with an ONJ and ELO collaboration and that was the title track "Xanadu".

Physical was a huuuge hit. It spent 10 weeks at number 1. Though, my favorite song from that same LP was "Make a Move on Me" "A Little More Love" was also a great song. She looked great in both those music videos. You should also check out "Suddenly" a duet she did with Cliff Richard from the Xanadu soundtrack. An amazing soundtrack by the way. Literally, a no skip album. All the songs are great.

[@DianaJG8]

Actually, they DID for a while...

[@havensmm9308]

@@DianaJG8 No, they did not, according to both Andy and ONJ. And ONJ was involved with someone else.

[@havensmm9308]

Thank you for this reaction!! I LOVE ONJ!! Her catalogue is very diverse. Barry Gibb has consistently called her the best female vocalist of her generation. She was very concerned about the content of this song and it was her idea to diffuse it by making a video about exercise. It was the video director that turned it into what you see here. ONJ said she wasn't there for most of that shoot. She has said before she wasn't necessarily trying to change her image but after Grease she was emboldened to try edgier music and really enjoyed that! You should check out her early hits which were country pop mostly. Being British-born and Australian-raised, the country music association lost their minds when she won the Grammy for country pop vocalist and CMA's (Country Music Association) Award for most promising country female vocalist in 1974 and some members rebelled to form a different country music association. That was short-lived though as Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton finally stepped up on ONJ's behalf. Her catalogue of music is great! I hope you explore more. Try A Little More Love, Magic, A Twist of Fate and her early hits Let Me Be There, Have You Never Been Mellow, I Honestly Love You, Please Mr. Please. Plus lots more!😀

[@jerickson725]

I saw an article saying the same thing, Olivia's concern about the song, because she had such a goody goody, reputation that her fans admired. It was her idea to make the video about working out, hoping it would distract from the meaning of the song. Oh well, she tried! Pretty sure this did not change any fan's perception. She was still seen as the talented, good-girl, beautiful, sweetheart from down under!

[@havensmm9308]

@@jerickson725 Yes, and she still is. Just a beautiful human being both inside and out.😀

[@GirlWithAnOpinion]

She was a singer first and an actress second. She really blew her sweet, "Country Girl Next Door" image with this song and some people threatened to boycott her. It was pretty amazing. The gym-themed video was supposed to diffuse the controversy, but it fell pretty short of doing that. One of her first big hits was "Have You Never Been Mellow" and put her on the map. As for John Travolta, he was an actor first and singer second. Check him out in the 70s sitcom "Welcome Back Kotter" or the original "Carrie" movie.

[@evilervcowart6234]

I first laid eyes (and ears lol) on Olivia Newton-John way back in 1983 when I was 8 years old. My family had recently gotten cable t.v. installed (an exciting event, to be sure), and our package included HBO and Cinemax. Whilst perusing all of our new channels, I happened upon a film titled Xanadu. Released in 1982, Xanadu starred Michael Beck, Gene Kelly, and an actress by the name of Olivia Newton-John. I was instantly enamored by her beauty (to day the least), and then she began to sing...and I was absolutely in love lol Thus began my lifelong admiration, and adulation, for the golden haired muse with the voice of an angel. I rewatched Xanadu countless times, to the point where my mother still greatly dislikes even hearing the word Xanadu to this day. I own a concert dvd Olivia released in 2008 that has her band along with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performing her greatest hits, and it is beautifully epic. Not only is she an amazingly talented singer, she is an extremely compassionate and sweet person with a heart of gold. I've been crushing on her for just shy of 40 years 😁❤

[@barryserpa5174]

Magic is a great song by her !

[@blythjc]

Here’s another Female Friday request. Petula Clark. She was popular in the sixties and had a string of hits back then. Her breakthrough #1 hit was Downtown but I prefer her other big one; Don’t Sleep In The Subway. She had many more too like Colour My World, This is My Song, I Know A Place, My Love and many more. She’s a great singer.

[@joeyrobison6629]

When "Physical" was released some radio stations in Utah banned the song from being played. It mortified Olivia, who up to that time was pretty straight laced. That's why she did the video that emphasized exercising, instead of the sexual overtones of the lyrics. She needn't have worried, because this song went to number 1 on the charts and stayed there for 10 weeks. One of the top selling records of the '80s.

If you get a chance check out her video of A Little More Love" and "Magic". In case no one has mentioned it the song "Physical" that you just reacted to was number one on the billboard charts for 10 weeks making it the number one song of the 1980s!

Regarding the meaning of "Physical," gyms were HUGE as a meeting place for singles in the 1970s and 1980s. Cher was THE spokeswoman for Fair Lady salons. There were even musicals and movies about this craze as the 'new' bar scene. See Jamie Lee Curtis in "Perfect" with John Travolta.

[@istari0]

Olivia Newton-John is one of the best singers anywhere. The song you reacted to from the movie Grease was written for that movie and as a duet so that is why it is different from this one. She started her career off with slower like "If Not for You" "Let Me Be There" "If You Love Me (Let Me Know" "I Honestly Love YOU" and "Have You Never Been Mellow." Later she moved to a harder rock sound, of which "Physical" is a good example. Other songs from this era include "A Little More Love" "Deeper Than The Night" "Make a Move on Me" "Heart Attack" "Tied Up" "Twist of Fate" and "Livin' in Desperate Times." She also was in the movie Xanadu, which was a failure but the sound track is fantastic, split between Oliva's songs and songs from the Electric Light Orchestra. This is where her song "Magic" comes from as well as "Suspended in Time" and "Xanadu" the title track which is actually a song she performs with ELO.

[@cruzth]

Guys you’re amazing! Ms. Olivia is considered one of the most successful female artists of all time. So many hits and different genres. She had hits with pop, rock, country, r&b, dance, etc. she’s on her 3rd battle with cancer and she is an inspiration! My favorites are Magic, Soul kiss and many more. I was blessed to see her last tour before she announced her cancer came back. She was recognized as one of the most beautiful and sweetest women on Earth. Her catalog is very extensive. I believe she had 5 number #1 hits in the USA. She’s an Icon.

[@occasionaltripping747]

ONJ was huge in the 70s and 80s so yeah…because she could sing and had the “look”, she, like John Travolta often had movie and singles out during that time. For female Friday check out Shelia E, “The Glamorous Life”…she is considered one of the best female percussionists. Also if you like 80s pop check out Expose (pronounced x-po-sey)-in the 80s female groups were very common (the Bangles, the GoGos, Seduction, Expose, the Cover Girls, etc) so there are a ton of options out there…plus many went solo (Belinda Carlisle)

Watching Jay's facial expressions in this reaction is everything. 😂

The woman was an angel with an enchanting voice. She was a total class act. Never heard anything negative about her. She was such a sweetheart. Beautiful on the inside and outside. My first girl crush after seeing Grease at 6 years old. Then mom took me to see Xanadu. As a young boy she was the ultimate crush. I didn't know a single boy or older teenage boy who didn't have a crush on Olivia. She will truly be missed.

John Travolta is an actor who sings. ("Gonna let her in" is the only single I can think of, and it is not very good) Olivia Newton John is a singer who acts. Great singer. She was fun in a couple Glee episodes. She played a parody of herself, and only liked Glee singers who did her songs. I hope you get into her earlier career. "Let Me Be There", Have You Never Been Mellow", "I Honestly Love You" and my personal favorite, a duet with John Denver called "Fly Away".

Today in Australia she was recognized.

"Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil is a song you should react to. she's kinda become the definition of a "one hit wonder" because of this song but it's just so good you need to check it out

Oh how I love Olivia Newton-John not only does she have a voice of an angel she's absolutely gorgeous. I was 15 when this video came out & I HAD to get my haircut just like Olivia's in the video & I did just that the very next day. She is a really big deal & I love her earlier songs in the 70's as well like I said she has a voice of an angel.

[@havensmm9308]

That is so cool! Have you had a chance to watch Empress Reacts? She loves ONJ and has a huge ONJ reaction playlist.😀

"I Know There's Something Going On" 🎶 Female Friday Suggestion 🎶 Anni-Fred is the brown haired woman in the group Abba. In the 80's she went solo for an album but she went under the name "Frida". The song is so cool & was a huge hit!

[@centuryrox]

Not to mention Phil Collins played drums on that song, and also produced it!

[@Zentrix-24]

I also loved Olivia's singing on the song "Xanadu" as well. She was a very big name back in the 70's. I have one of her greatest hits albums.

[@PEBray]

When Olivia first made the scene she had an innocent, squeaky-clean, goody-two-shoes image. Grease and "Physical" were meant to change that to give her a wider fan base.

[@forgetunome]

Made me lol when Amber realized the meaning! 🤣 Luca is so cuuuuute! Of course, your whole family is beautiful!

[@johncampbell756]

The moment Amber realizes the true meaning. This is what reactions are about.

[@jrr1814]

Well, she mentions horizontally in the first section so…

[@walterrutherford8321]

You’d think the line where she sings “let’s get horizontally” would’ve been a clue. 😆

[@walterrutherford8321]

This song always reminds me of Muscles, by Diana Ross (which I just read was written by Michael Jackson).

[@Trishapurpleprincess]

Im with Amber tho lol growing up in the 80s I heard this and thought it was about exercising myself ( Id seen the picture of her in her 80s workout gear) wasnt untill I was grown and went to a musical event and heard it again that I realized it was abt a diff kind of physical lol

[@rsw1227]

I recently went down the OLIVIA rabbit hole. It's amazing how many songs she had just in the 70's! She was huge BEFORE Grease and Xanadu and "Physical." As a kid she was always on the radio. It's sad how time can forget some artists or in her case the first part of her (Country) music career.

[@havensmm9308]

Yep and nobody reacts to any of her earlier huge country pop songs!

[@edgardramosfonsecafilho7847]

Cute baby. God blesses! Lucas is the name of my sun. He is 27 years old.... Somos brasileiros. Gosto muito dos videos postados por vocês. Muito obrigado.

[@SusanJohnston]

Love Olivia! She’s amazing with her voice! My sister-in-law looks so much like her people followed them from the concert to their home!!! 😂😂
