listen to Her alot this weekend as well&"Hopelessly Devoted to You"&Magic just hit Home again&again.She is also a Foxy Lady as well.dug Her Presentation Vocally as well."Magic" still sounds so fresh IMHO.any thoughts on Her?

uhhh...


ill have to think about this one.. :LOL:

ANYTHING FROM XANADU, especially Magic and the title track ONJ

Maxxx, I think "Magic" still sounds fresh because the production quality of it was so good.

I used to like Olivia back in the 70s and early 80s, but not enough to want to own her music.

I remember seeing "Physical" played as one of the earliest videos on MTV.

Heart Attack..that was Olivia, right? i loved that song...



and you kind deny the korny yet still great "I Love You"...

SkletonKee said:

This is a corny thread. Where's DavidEye? Hey Dave, how ya like Olivia?

jnoel said:

Uh oh.

There is ONE song I keep playing over and over again.
I even bought Olivia's Greatest Hits Part Two for it.
It's called...

A Little More Love

ONJohn + masturbation, I guess you really want to end up deaf

Hey,I love Olivia

I like many of her songs,but these are my two favorites...


***"Hopelessly Devoted To You"(1978)---The scene in 'Grease' where she sings this song is one of the highlights of that film.Never get enough of this song!!

***"Make A Move On Me"(1981)---By 1981,Olivia changed her image a little bit,with the 'Physical' album.This song is sexy and seductive.I still have memories of her singing it on "Solid Gold"

"A Little More Love" & "Magic"

Twist of Fate.. Just a song of hers that stuck in my head.. Kind of catchy!

Huh?

It's too late...
One quarter deaf.
Really.

I was more in love with her than her music, but I did own Grease & Xanadu albums. She was so hot back then! I remember seeing Xanadu on TV when I was about 11 years old with her on rollerskates. I have no idea what the hell the movie was about, but I DO remember, uh, "discovering" myself after seeing her in that movie.

Little More Love, Heart Attack,

Physical got me all hot and bothered, or maybe it was the muscle men

mistermaxxx said:

She was teasingly hot.
My fav is "Honestly love you"
Magic & Mello are too.

I just bought her greatest hits compilation with 4 "new" tracks...however, it's 10 years old! It's still great though.

The 1st 4 r the new tracks:

1. Deeper Than A River
2. Not Gonna Be The One
3. I Want To Be Wanted
4. I Need Love
5. Twist Of Fate (from the movie with John Travolta)
6. Physical (sexy song, sexy video)
7. Magic (from the Xanadu soundtrack)
8. Deeper Than The Night (from the Olivia album)
9. A Little More Love (from the Olivia album)
10. You're The One That I Want (Grease soundtrack)
11. Summer Nights (Grease soundtrack)
12. Hopelessly Devoted To You (Grease soundtrack)
13. Please Mr. Please (Have You Never Been Mellow album)
14. Sam (Don't Stop Believing album)
15. Have You Never Been Mellow (album of same name)
16. If You Love Me (Let Me Know) (album of same name)
17. I Honestly Love You (If You Love Me (Let Me Know))

I've always thought she was a sexy lady with a sexy voice (girl-next-door kinda sexy). My wife (in all honesty) looks like a Latina version of her, same eyes, mouth etc... only darker.

Olivia went thru a lot in the 80's, a nasty divorce, breast cancer, bankruptcy of her Koala Blue clothing stores... but she survived it all.

She still looks great and sounds fantastic... much love Olivia...

Thanks mistermaxxx 4 another stellar thread!

xanadu rox!!!

As I am only familiar with her well known "radio hits" I'd have to say "Hopelessly Devoted"..

it's a beautiful, romantic, yet painful song, & Olivia just knocks it out.



I've always thought that she has a good voice, she's proven to be very good at doing pop songs.

I don't really like any of her music, except for two songs. And those two songs are great-

Magic and

Suddenly (duet with Cliff Richard, or whoever that guy's name was)


I've always loved Suddenly, a favorite from my childhood.

I just discovered the song "Magic" from a roadtrip I took late last year and fell in love with it.

Actually that duet might've been with Jimmy Cliff- yeah, that's it.

1.A Little More love
2.Twist Of Fate
3.Make A Move On Me
4.Magic

You guys are scaring me...

XANADU soundtrack...

Magic...
Whenever your away from me (with Gene Kelly)
Dancin (with the Tubes)

I got this record because I'm a big ELO fan...but I found myself playing the ONJ side a lot...

Although I hated the movie, as I hate most musicals, the ownership of this soundtrack was the first hint of my possible homo gene (or so my gay friends tell me)...


Plus did anyone catch her in the movie "Sordid Lives" she played a country singing lesbian...she ROCKED!

not really...

NONE.

That's the same compilation that I have! It's cool,but it doesn't contain my favorite song by her,"Make A Move On Me"

There was a more recent compilation (mid-90s?) in which Babyface produced an updated version of "I Honestly Love You" and sang background vocals,I believe.
