‘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.

[@mcsegeek1]

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.

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.

[@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".

[@Sportsref13]

lots of up and coming talent in the movie; especially dancers.. and able to work with Gene Kelly..

I don't want to be that person, but just to make sure they can find it, it's Xanadu 🙂

[@havensmm9308]

There was only one track with an ONJ and ELO collaboration and that was the title track "Xanadu". All of the other ONJ songs in Xanadu were written and produced by her longtime songwriter and record producer, John Farrar. He also wrote Hopelessly Devoted to You and You're The One That I Want for Grease.

[@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.

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

The number #1 song of 1981. For the ENTIRE YEAR.

[@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.😀

[@jessenuf]

Her song “Magic” is stellar.

[@roypartible9759]

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.

[@donnag7908]

OMG I loved that song! I'd play it over and over. Gene Kelly was so amazing in the movie

[@Atheist2006]

That single was so huge that it became No. 1 of the Billboard 100 decade end charts; that means it was the best-selling single of the 80's in the US.

[@thelawofficesofdeweycheatu7166]

As I suggested once before, go back to her start with Let Me Be There and If You Love Me Let Me Know. Not only will you hear her country side, but the chorus will get you every time.

[@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 😁❤

[@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.

[@seanellio]

I forgot all about "Don't Sleep in the Subway". What a great tune.

[@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.

[@originalwoolydragon8387]

"I Honestly Love You" by ONJ...very sweet and much better vocally; more Olivia.

[@michellestewart1600]

She and Andy Gibb did a duet called "Rest your love on me". They were both Icons and the duet sparked rumours of them dating because of this song. (I don't think they ever did date).

[@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.

[@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".

"Physical" was a phenomenon. At the time it was in a three-way tie for longest amount of time at #1 (ten weeks). Her hair became the rage, as well as the headband. She was afraid her fans would hate her, and wanted to pull the single at the last minute but it had already shipped.

[@christaballerinarukavina6034]

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.

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".

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)

Check out her early stuff. She was one of my first crushes. I was10 when I Honestly Love You came out that was it for me. I didn't even know what she looked like. It was that voice. Then I saw a picture of her & thought she looks like she sounds.

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

ONJ Is great! Xanadu, If You Love Me Let Me Know, Magic, Make A Move On Me, Let Me Be There, Have You Never Been Mellow Fun Fact to tell all your friends: Pretty much until after Grease (1978) ONJ was country! Back in the 70s a lot of country stars/purists like Porter Wagoner, June Carter Cash and, believe it or not, Dolly Parton were not on board with ONJ and criticized her. ONJ was deemed "not real country" by country traditionalists. The height of this controversy happened in 74, when ONJ won a Country Music Association Award for Female Vocalist of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Vocal Performance Female for "Let Me Be There", it angered a lot of peeps. ‘Cause ONJ isn’t American and wasn't considered country. A number of singers/musicians in Nashville protested the win! It wasn’t until people like Loretta Lynn that were like, ya'll ONJ being an outsider is a good thing 'cause our music will interest more people internationally but her being sort of popish and VERY popular was appealing to fans outside of country.... as a sorry, Dolly let ONJ record 'Jolene' and her sister Stella wrote a song to ONJ called Ode to Olivia.... and then Grease happened and ONJ started transitioning from country-contemporary to contemporary-rock and finally pop with a little known song called, PHYSICAL .... so there you have a fun little music history story

[@havensmm9308]

Yes! And "Jolene" live from her 1982 concert is amazing!!😀

[@Lptoomany2001]

Oh my goodness! This song brought in bodies of all types and sizes. She saw the future.

[@daddy2299]

Her song SAM always impresses.

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.

[@redmaynard]

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

[@raye402]

One of my Directors was a Roady for Olivia when she was on her British Tour - they all fancied her And why not !!!

[@jojomart]

awwwwwww what a little sweetheart!! He's adorable!

[@patriciawaring]

A fantastically gorgeous female singer with a voice like Silk is SADE. Oh my gosh! Start with The Sweetest Taboo, then Smooth Operator, the list goes on & on! You won’t be disappointed. Thank you! Love, from the Great State of Oklahoma, USA 🤍

[@dtaylor939]

I suggested Sade in their last livestream. Hopefully they will react to her soon.

[@tbarnes10]

"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

[@gary6167]

ONJ was cast in Grease because she was already an established recording artist. She was definitely the most famous of the two at the time the movie was cast. Travolta was the relative " new kid" when Grease was made.

[@Well-in-the-garden]

❤️I loved that reaction. She was awesome- like you said Amber, sassy! Loved the cheeky video too. And Luca! Awwwwww! Bless his little cotton socks!!!! 🥰😘❤️

[@E.Kim_Style]

"Physical" is honestly not the best song to introduce you to Olivia Newton-John`s music career. :) You have to check out Olivia`s-"Hopelessly Devoted To You". kzbin.info/www/bejne/envTqnpphb2igdk And, "Magic" from the Midnight Special tv show. Smoking Hot!!! :)

[@crystal-ml3hz]

Yessss I totally agree with both of these choices. She looks drop dead gorgeous in that "Magic" one and the song is awesome. You have to see it!! And hopelessly devoted her voice is just so pure and angelic.

[@ajruther67]

Here is Andy Gibb and Olivia Newton-John singing on Rest Your Love on Me on Solid Gold kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3nEcmp9gcyYadE Song was released 1980

[@frederickseltzerjr2170]

Olivia was born in England and her family moved to Australia when she was a toddler before she came to the United States after winning a singing contest in Australia. Believe it or not, her first hit singles were all country songs. She crossed over to pop in 1974 with her hit single, "I Honestly Love You." She was reluctant at first to star in "Grease," as not only was this going to be her first movie, but she didn't think at 31 years old, the public was going to buy her being a high school senior. It was her on and off-screen friendship and chemistry with John Travolta that made her shine. After that she had a few more big hits, including "A Little More Love" which reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in 1979. Though her next movie was a box office bomb, the roller-skating themed "Xanadu," the soundtrack was a huge hit with the title track and at the time, the biggest hit of her career, "Magic," which spent 4 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 Chart. She felt like she was being put into a box as this "squeaky clean" girl next door type, so she jumped at the opportunity to record this single. What makes this even more impressive (and Jay hit a bull's eye here) was several radio stations in the United States simply refused to play the song because of the overtly sexual lyrics, something that is not even heard of today. But because the Billboard Hot 100 Chart relies on both airplay and sales of the records, it spent at the time, a record tying 10 weeks at #1 between the end of 1981 and the beginning of 1982 (the other two songs that shared the feat at the time was "You Light Up My Life" by Debby Boone & "Cherry White And Apple Blossom" by Perez Prado & His Orchestra). Not only did song become the #1 hit of the year 1982, it was ranked as the #1 song of the entire 1980s!

[@havensmm9308]

Oh Yes, "Sam" live from her 1982 concert. AWESOME!!😀

[@julienielsen4462]

This was a huge song back in the day. Aerobics was coming out then. The 20 minute workout show was popular then.

[@tombeyerlein3813]

Along with every other young man in 1974, I was in love with Olivia when she hit with "I Honestly Love You."

[@tmr626]

Olivia also had a great love ballad titled 'Sam.'

[@mgonzales56]

Olivia started out singing in Australia, but did bot release her first album in the US till 1971. She started out singing Country, and won Country Singer of the year, for which many Country artists protested because she was Australian not American. She won many awards, had several number one hits, and several number one albums. Her early albums were the best. Beautiful music, beautiful voice. Great artist.
