[@kennyg10211]

@@coolcal19 Anything can be forgiven BEFORE death. Maybe she repented at the end, but we don't see evidence of that. She traded her wholesome image for the image of a tramp and kept promoting "Physical" for the rest of her life rather than regretting it and making amends. Think of the millions and millions of people she helped lead into sin. I think that her good-gone-bad role in Grease was a foreshadowing of her musical career.

I was just watching a lot of her videos over that past month and now I found out she passed. She is breathtaking to watch, that is for sure and her voice is one of a kind in it's own right.

[@Tony-H-Gos]

and maybe even her positive, optimistic, but lovely and gracious personality too!

[@KUKUMAIL]

U mentioned she has" a voice of one of a kind". Is it her voice comes like a chorus despite singing alone without back up singer? I am trying to gather input n confirmation from all. Yes....her voice is unique.....

[@davidownbey533]

It's called dubbing, done in the studio.

[@ericcheney101]

@@KUKUMAIL For me there are three things that make Olivia's vocals peerless. (1) Her annunciation of the lyrics is crystal clear, (2) she is pitch-perfect, and (3) Olivia's vocals define femininity. Compare Olivia to any other woman singer past or present and I think, looking through this lens, you will realize just how much better Olivia is in one, two or all three of these perspectives. I never tire of listening to Olivia sing and she has an enormous catalog of great original songs.

[@toughenup1]

Olivia being very inclusive in this video from 1982, had not really thought about it in all my years of watching because such things have never been an issue to myself. The way in which she looks so natural dancing with the guy on the dancefloor at the end is everything! The guy on keyboards always makes me smile - lol... Still a catchy song and great production values, as usual, with the amazing John Farrar.

[@childfreesingleandatheist8899]

People, in general and most of the time, have been very inclusive since the early 1970s or even before that.

[@nash7752]

A severely underrated album! One of the best to come out of the 80s and her discography as a whole.

[@Siggy4844]

very underrated indeed! Everyone pretty much dismisses it after watching the Physical video. But this album was so much more. Some really great, but sadly forgotten, songs came out of it. This was one of my favorites. We had it on RCA video disc, another now forgotten relic from the 80s.

[@enriquetheprofessor]

I dont think it's underrated. PHYSICAL is one of the most successful albums of the early 80s. Additionally, it sold 10 million copies worldwide and garnered a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Olivia.

[@paultreadaway102]

It's my favorite of hers got to Number 5 but obviously of Physical Album and the Song is one of the biggest songs of all time pretty hard to match up with that magnitude even as a great Artist like Olivia unlucky

[@laceyunderall22]

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned ONJ’s class. This, IMO, is what sets her head and shoulders above so many others of her time and above virtually all entertainers of today. I mean, really, would the word class or classy ever come to mind when describing any famous person under 40 at this present time? Nope. ONJ was undoubtedly sexy, but her classy demeanor inspired adoration, not vulgar, debased “impulses”. What a special human being. How lucky we were to have enjoyed her talent. ❤❤❤
