Subject: Olivia Newton-John
Written By: xSiouXBoIx on 09/02/07 at 9:34 am
Does anyone else here just love her? I think she is so damn underrated. And she had many hits....20 top 40 singles, 15 making the top 10. I never knew that until recently.
I love both her country-pop-adult contemporary work, and her straight up pop-dance material.
And I just LOVE this song! It's so joyful...

Apart from 'The Grease Megamix in 1996, her last ever Top 40 hit here in Canada was The Best of Me in 1986
I really like alot of her songs. My favourite was always 'Magic'

Yeah I hate to admit it but I do like ONJ. I mean, Hopelessly Devoted is great but I love Have You Never Been Mellow and I Honestly Love You. My favorite song tho is Totally Hot. I don't know why- it's very 80s sounding and a little cheesy but I listen to it alot.

I think she's gorgeous and her voice is just as beautiful. I love most of her tunes but "Twist of Fate" is probably my favorite.

I"m a big fan.
Magic is a great song! I hated most of the other 80s songs, unless they were from Xanadu-
but I loved Please, Mr. Please and Sam and Have you Never Been Mellow too.
I listen to her all the time.

I like that one a lot, too...
Interestingly, not many people seem to know it when I use it in my lyrics quizzes... :-\\

Twist of Fate is my fave too!
Also love her oldies like Mellow / Magic and from Grease it's got to be "Hopelessly Devoted To You".

"Twist of Fate" reminds me a little of "Maniac" from Flashdance. It was probably inspired by it since "Flashdance" came out over six months before "Two of a Kind" (with John Travolta) did.
If I had to pick other songs by her I like I'd go with
A Little More Love (1978)
Make A Move On Me (1982)
