Olivia Newton-John Reaction Physical Tour Live 1982 HBO (ONE OF THE BEST EVER!?!) | Empress Reacts

[@BrianCormackCarr]

This concert made me a fan. She’s at her absolute peak here. 💗

[@EmpressReacts]

💯💯

[@edithcarter3554]

Me too. This and Grease.

[@joansmith1157]

Still magic after all this time. I remember watching this on HBO, and talking to my best friend via kitchen telephone with the long cord to reach the living room. Good times. Olivia 's voice is strong here with so much control! She's dancing! Choreography! And, almost too gorgeous for my screen. Great choice

[@propre6033]

Spectacular!!! I remember playing scrabble with my mom and sister and my mom turn this concert on (HBO). I remember it being my turn, I was just about to put my letters down and I.....heard.....Olivia singing, I....heard; the start of Sam. I stopped what I was doing, turned my head and it was a done deal! 40 years later and my jaw still hasn't shut when it comes to this woman. That voice, that emotion, that sweetness. And wrapped up in a very nice package too! It's fun to watch this through your eyes Empress!

[@michaeldubin8965]

I’ve watched this concert literally hundreds of times. But watching it with you was giving me goosebumps all over again! When singers could sing and it was just her, the band and the audience. No backup dancers, pyrotechnics or other distractions. Perfect concert!

[@EmpressReacts]

Exactly 💯❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Argiriosk]

Exactly that! Also, no auto tune and the like .... Such an amazing concert!!!

[@juanperon970]

me too

[@brettdavies5239]

Not ONJ doing whistle notes like Mariah at the end of Sam. And the note at the end of Xanadu!!!! 😱 Absolutely incredible how pitch perfect she is live. I’ve always believed, like Empress, that ONJ is one of the great vocalists of our time. Certainly can hold her own amongst the greats 💁🏻‍♀️

[@EmpressReacts]

We're vibin 😎❤

[@Junior-cp9se]

Olivia was doing it way before Mariah came into the scene

[@barbarapoirier8835]

This is THE concert that turned me into a huge fan! The way she can connect with the audience, the camera, and the band shows what a great entertainer she is. Also impressive to me is that after doing the song Physical, with all the exercises, that she can then do a ballad. That is such a hard thing to do after any kind of physical exertion, and do it well! She is AWESOME!

[@EmpressReacts]

yaaas!

[@bensellers7151]

Dang Empress you knew ALL the words! I knew you liked ONJ but you REALLY like her! 🤟

[@EmpressReacts]

Yaaas‼️she has 🔥 songs

[@christopherscorner]

After all of these years, this is still a truly fantastic concert. It’s just a Livia in the band, the back up singers in the audience. Her voice is on point and her beauty is beyond compare. What else do I want on this chilly Saturday morning in Florida. Before my mother passed away, this concert brought her much joy. Rest on, Mother.

[@EmpressReacts]

RIP to .your mom❤

[@markdms321]

RIP to Your Mom.

[@alexioverdo5225]

Got this on VHS cassete bought it in London in the late '80s.Fabulous concert fantastic live performer!Non autotuned and very well trained on this live 'excercising' performance!

[@onjlover]

WOW ...This is what I m talking about!!! You did a reaction to the whole incredible ONJ concert. Total genuine fangirl ,you,re the only reactioner I watch time and again. What a fantastic review Empress! You did our girl proud thank you. I get that you get she is in your top 3 vocalists EVER !!!

[@EmpressReacts]

Thank you so much!!

[@brianmidthun2914]

I saw this on September 26, 1982, in Minneapolis/St. Paul. They rolled a giant cake out for her and we all sang Happy birthday to her!

[@EmpressReacts]

Wow so cool‼️

[@JOHNLUEKMON]

Best Concert Ever. Olivia is the Queen. Love love Olivia

[@EmpressReacts]

💯💯💯

[@melissawest9124]

I love watching you watch this concert, Empress. I now realize I am not the only black woman in the world who knows the words to almost every ONJ song. Love it! LOL!

[@EmpressReacts]

Aye. We're a whole vibe😍🤣🥳

[@jaquayvius]

I'm a Black Man and I Love ONJ also. I Love any Artist (White or Black) that has Good Music. Elton John, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Debbie Gibson, etc.

[@jmcreek7936]

ONJ is 🔥

[@EmpressReacts]

💯❤️‍🔥

[@le7669]

I hope Olivia sees your reaction you're such a fan it's infectious in a good way lol🌈🔆

[@EmpressReacts]

Aw thanks😍

[@lucycecere7928]

She was amazing!!

[@marksheehan8442]

I can barely hear the commentary, the volume seems really low but I can hear the concert just fine. But the fact that Empress is singing along with all the songs tells me that she is a true fan now and not just saying so to gain more subscribers. Can I just say that Jolene blew me away... leading into Sam... ahhhh such happiness.

[@EmpressReacts]

😂sorry! i was singing so loud I had to turn me down. too busy/excited to get this out, i turned down my entire track

[@toughenup1]

Pop PERFECTION!!! This is my all time favourite concert from anyone, sure there are way more choreographed and staged tours from other artists, but these vocals blow just about every other artist out of the water... I think this tour shocked many people who didn't realise Olivia's voice was actually powerful and could stand up to an hour and a half without even looking like it was hard... An artist to admire for sure. Loved how much you enjoyed this Empress and knew that you would. Cheers!

[@EmpressReacts]

Omg‼️‼️Yaaaas so fun to watch

[@Me4Evidence]

I totally agree.

[@aldoditoro3139]

40 years ago 🥰 ".. we both know I got somewhere else to go.."

[@EmpressReacts]

💯🔥

[@newtonduck1]

Was 11-years old and, for some reason, I remember staying up late to watch on HBO. I had been in love with Olivia since I saw Grease but my obsession ran high during this era, especially. Great reaction. I cannot believe this concert is 40 years old. No frills, no special effects, just a pure performance.

[@EmpressReacts]

🔥🔥🔥

[@catieschrager5282]

Something about this tour makes me adore her even more as a person. She just hyped up her audition and made them feel so warm and welcomed and you can feel that through a screen. Not just the fact she’s a beautiful singer that’s a known fact but she’s the most gentle, caring celebrity I have ever admired and I wish I knew of her longer because she brings me so much joy and happiness.

[@slimlouis6441]

I remember this tour. I was in junior high, 7th grade. It ran for years on hbo in repeat.

[@laurachickadee6969]

Total perfection!!!

[@EmpressReacts]

💯

[@Angel-vg2zf]

I Love You Too Olivia!😘❤🔒I still have this concert on VHS! I purchased it from a record store in 1983. I have watched this concert a gazillion times, but this was my 1st time with fellow Olivia fans🥲Thank You!!🤝🏼

[@EmpressReacts]

Sooo🔥🔥

[@chriswilson4453]

I'm so glad you reacted to this, ONJ at the height of her fame, I found this concert in a video shop in 1987 and have been listening to it ever since. Thank you.

[@EmpressReacts]

Sooo🔥🔥

[@petersavieri]

That was so SWEET! Really took me back to early childhood when this Olivia was the one that made the biggest early impression on me. I remember in like grade 2 primary school the boys would sing Let’s Get Physical jokingly and on the “let me hear your body talk” line they’d make a big fart sound with their mouths to gross out the girls 😂 Ah kids… of course none of us understood what the song was really about! I’d never seen this concert in its entirety, so Thanku for that! Man she’s just so damn CUTE!! A real livin’ doll✨💖✨And that vocal control! Those high notes! The stability of her voice even after jumping around like that. Proud she’s an Aussie legend ✨🦘✨

[@EmpressReacts]

Yaaas she is definitely a 🌎 treasure and young boys can be so gross🤣🤣

[@catieschrager5282]

This in no way surprises me but at the same it’s so adorable 🤣

[@Xanadude77]

It snowed here in Boston tonight and quiet night in and this made my night! I loved every second of it too! Such great songs and vocals! Thanks for this!

[@EmpressReacts]

Yay❤️‍🔥😘🔥

[@Robin.2226]

I'm in love with Olivia ❤

[@Sandra-bn9ky]

So happy to experience this concert with you! I LOVE ONJ and I don't think she missed a single note. Pure perfection for me. 💗😍👏

[@EmpressReacts]

💯💯Glad. U. Enjoyed

[@ukgladiatorsfan]

Olivia in her prime. vocal perfection great outfits. Ive seen this concert many times but watching you react to it is a new thing! and you knew the words to every song... GREAT JOB. PS I love the Grease poster in the backgound

[@EmpressReacts]

Aw, thank you‼️

[@123rgar]

I enjoyed that concert. Thankfully I saw her a few years back in Vegas and she was amazing. It was one of my bucketlist things to do. Not sure if she`s still performing in Vegas but if she is you must go see her.

[@propre6033]

Yeah, I saw her three times in Vegas. She's not there anymore.

[@EmpressReacts]

Omg‼️Yaaas

[@MathiasCorvinus1]

It is a Legend Concert... An Astonishing Fabulous Tour!!!

[@Me4Evidence]

Yes. Best ever. Thank you so much for reacting to this.

[@EmpressReacts]

[@tracerow5516]

She was always so Captivating.

[@kramercapriati]

[@melissawest9124]

Needs no auto-tune…awesome singer! Love me some ONJ!

[@EmpressReacts]

[@edithcarter3554]

I loved that concert. I watched it several times. Olivia at her best

[@hubrisnaut]

Young lady, you are fabulous... .here we met over our love for ONJ.... I'm an old man now but Olivia's talent was a huge part of the music of 'my day'. I simply love the joy you are bringing back home, to us. thank you...

[@EmpressReacts]

Glad you enjoy. Thank u‼️

[@ruthhammond7113]

Yeah, this was the concert tour I went to at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, Maryland in 1982. Olivia's performance was exactly as the video shows. 🤗

[@craigjb8740]

OMG your face in this was beaming right the way through....heaven to watch this. And that you knew every single word....amazing 😁😁😁

[@EmpressReacts]

I was thoroughly entertained 💯

[@danfun8231]

Empress, how much do I love your reactions?? Your comments. What a great way to spend A snowy night in Boston. Thank you

[@EmpressReacts]

Aw, thanks😍Glad you had fun

[@mikemarcotte560]

September 26, 1982, ONJ's 34th birthday, I was at her concert in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was amazing!

[@Argiriosk]

Greetings from Greece!!! I have watched her HBO concert several times ... and each time she shines through ... oh so brightly !!! Amazing vocals, high notes that are just so amazing and always concentrating on what she does best ... singing ... no unnecessary concert gimmicks ... SUPERB!!! Her live rendition of Jolene is absolutely the best!!!

[@krisnewtonjohn151]

[@havensmm9308]

I was in high school in 1982 and not close enough to any concert venues to go. My two older sisters were in college out of town and were able to go. I WAS the huge ONJ fan and I was upset that they got to go but I didn't😪. They did bring me back a program, which I think I still have somewhere. I was very happy that the concert was taped for HBO. This is such a special concert for all of us ONJ fans.😍

[@EmpressReacts]

Dang ‼️Sucks u. Couldn't go😭

[@rohnbosley4811]

I had this on a VHS when I was a kid and watched it all of the time ❤

[@EmpressReacts]

🔥🔥🔥

[@lorrainemorris2529]

Olivia newton john is the best song writer I love her so much

[@johnjamesduffy7653]

The iconic Physical tour. I always wished they had released a live album of the concert. Olivia was & still is my lifelong idol. She was the only famous person I ever wanted to meet & I managed to go that in 1995 in London. Believe when I say that it was the perfect fan meets idol moment. Just me & her alone, it was really magical. When her friend arrived he took the most amazing photo of me & her. She was so lovely to me that night & had a great sense of humour. She was one of the greatest. Sadly missed.

[@honkey5913]

I've been lucky enough to have seen ONJ once in concert in Miami 2001 and got to meet her after the show and talk with her. I also met her once on Melrose Ave in Hollywood !! I've seen this concert 50 times now. Enjoy Empress

[@EmpressReacts]

Sooo cool‼️❤

[@timchaney4729]

RIP OLIVIA-We’LL ALWAYS LOVE ❤️ YOU!!!

[@slimlouis6441]

THIS is how you NEED to do Blonde Ambition & Truth Or Dare. It’s like seeing the entire show/experience together.

[@alfaduko]

Excellent idea

[@EmpressReacts]

[@jlu100]

Yaas! Definitely one of the best ever! Enjoyed this journey with you!❤️

[@EmpressReacts]

Yay! Thank you!

[@michaelmcclure7758]

Olivia was never just a pretty face. She was smart as a tack .... talented as f*ck. A true legend!

[@kramercapriati]

Again, I WAS THERE, IT WAS SURREAL

[@Junior-cp9se]

Mariah Carey said that her softer , breathier singing style was inspired by Olivia growing up.

[@EmpressReacts]

OMG! Love it and i can totally see the inspiration

[@kramercapriati]

Damn Girl, you are an ONJ Fan, you know all the words, I am 57 this week, I was fortunate enough to see Olivia on the Physical tour, it was magical, her passion shows in every song, ONJ WAS SPECIAL, THEIR WILL NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE HER. This concert won the Grammy award for best love concert, of all the live concerts in 1982, Olivia won the Grammy for best love concert for the Physical tour

[@EmpressReacts]

💗💗💗

[@kevinbutler7055]

OLIVIA brings out such a joyful possitivity and it really shows in you Empress.. love watching you.. you have a fan.. you really brought a joyful spirit to this video

[@alfaduko]

[@Braedensground]

Great Reaction, Empress ! So glad you were able to watch this. I was 22 when I saw this tour! Seems like yesterday. I enjoy concert tour videos that I have seen in person, but the performers were often tiny dots on the stage with my often ' nose bleed' section seating. Madonnas ' Blonde Ambition' tour I had far away seating. Hoping you get to react to that tour and or the 'Truth or Dare' documentary 💗

Ha Ha knew you'd be the one to review all 1.5 hours of this fabulous concert, ONJ at her very best. What an opener - DTTN, the live version is much better, enables her to show more of her repertoire. During much of the concert, I found it hard to differentiate if she was actually live or lip synching, it was that good. She was never pitchy. Just fabulous.

[@thebambino4728]

This DEFINITELY IS one of the BEST LIVE CONCERTS OF ALL TIME - I remember watching it back in 1983 when it was first on HBO and I thought the same thing THEN ! Olivia was just INCREDIBLE - AMAZZZZING VOICE AND PERSONALITY ! I'm just CURIOUS Empress . You said after she finished Jolene that this was the song that convinced you she was in the TOP 3 Female Vocalists of ALL TIME . Just wondering WHO ARE YOUR OTHER TWO IN THAT LIST ??? I've got MINE - Ella Fitzgerald and Karen Carpenter . It will be INTERESTING to see who yours are . GREAT video and THANKS !

[@EmpressReacts]

Hmmn...I said top 3 female vocalist...let me think about it🤣
