I'm so glad you brought that up...I get it. She was so much more than Grease. Older and Younger generations too often think of her only as that lady from the Grease musical. John Travolta had to cajole her into doing it, she thought she was too old to play a teenager at age 29 when they filmed it lol. that was such a laugh, she always looked great at any age. A person everyone should emulate in this world constantly falling apart.

@@GrumpyOldGuyPlaysGames NO. Xanadu the movie was NOT "absolutely horrible" at all. It was not meant to be a serious drama. It was an uncomplicated light-hearted and pithy film from a more innocent time. View it as such. A blending of remarkable choreography and music tied together by a less accomplished script. Nothing more. Nothing less. There is a reason this sweet and campy musical has grown in time to become a bonafide cult classic. Just like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Male fans have even taken to calling themselves "Xana-dudes." Now that is true devotion. Forget the naysayers and misguided criticism: Xanadu will live on forever.

Olivia was my first crush, and this song is one of my favorite songs. It was written by Jeff Lynne and performed with Jeff Lynne and Electric Light Orchestra (he is the male background voice). The video is lifted from the first part of the finale of the movie, 'Xanadu' which starred Olivia, Michael Beck (best known for his role in the film 'The Warriors' in 1979), and Gene Kelly, the legendary actor-dancer-singer-choreographer-director of such films as 'Singin' In The Rain' and 'An American In Paris' in the 1950s. Xanadu, as a concept, is taken from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "Kubla Khan: A Fragment". "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea." The movie was a bomb at the box office, but the soundtrack album with half of the songs by Olivia and half by ELO was a huge hit, and the movie is now one of those cult movies. I count it as one of my top-ten favorite movies of all time, but I know it's really not very good. But, as you can see from the video, it is so much fun...who cares?!?! The choreography for the film was done by Kenny Ortega, who would go on to direct 'Dirty Dancing' with Patrick Swayze, Disney's 'The Newsies' with Christian Bale (pre-Batman), and the 'High School Musical' movies. RIP, Livvy!!!

The Xanadu album is fantastic. The movie is such an underated musical. I grew up watching Xanadu from 5 years old and was obsessed. The singing, the dancing, the skating, Gene Kelly (!) and Olivia, full of joy and THAT voice!! You have to watch the movie. The last scene that you are watching is actually longer and has more dance styles. It's such a fun film. Dances styles: Pop n lock (Crew was called Chain Reaction) Ballroom Latin Contemporary Jazz Line dancing Ballet - Tightrope walking!!! (Performed by Albie Selznick) Choreographers were Kenny Ortega, Russell Clarke & Jerry Trent.

Xanadu was Chain Reaction's first big opportunity outside of the West Coast and for many of the dancers throughout the movie. If @WolfHunterZ will checkout the interviews that were included in the anniversary edition, you'll find some great content from Gene Kelly's widow, Kenny Ortega, Sandahl Bergman, Albie Selznick, etc. It's too bad the HunterZ couldn't react to the complete end number or Mr. Kelly and ONJ's period number. The story behind that, as told by Kenny Ortega, is amazing in itself.

This movie Xanadu was a commercial flop at the time of its release, but on the internet era it blew up and it became a cult classic. This movie gave us Gene Kelly's last cinematic role, Olivia at her most gorgeous, the woman was an absolute vision as Kira, she also met and fell in love with Matt Lattanzi, father of her daughter Chloe while making this movie, if you watch closely you can see him dancing with an asian woman wearing like a purple blouse, and my favorite song by her is included in the amazing soundtrack which is "Magic", fantastic tune. Definitely dig deeper into her successful career, she's such an icon, literally everyone who's not a psycho loved her, and always will, including yours truly.

This was a clip from the movie "Xanadu". Olivia is a muse that comes to life from a mural to help an artist that is down and out. She helps him get his mojo back and pairs him with Gene Kelly (this was the last movie appearance of Mr. Kelly) and together they open a "roller disco" (thus the roller skaters you saw) and they named it "Xanadu". This video is the (shortened) ending scene of the movie. The movie wasn't very popular but the soundtrack was killer! This song was by ELO and featured Olivia on the lead vocals (if you listen closely to the music it has all of the ELO sound trademarks!). The vinyl record has ELO songs on one side and ONJ songs on the other! The Tubes also contributed to the movie and soundtrack.

This song comes from the film of the same name, Xanadu, which sadly did not receive much positive feedback from critics. It's a fantasy film in which Olivia Newton-John plays Kira, a Greek Muse (goddess of literature, science, and the arts) who inspires two artists, Sonny Malone and Dany McGuire, to create a huge disco roller rink called "Xanadu". The Xanadu soundtrack also features Electric Light Orchestra.

That TV special can be found on you tube and if you ever watch it, you can see why JT thought she would be perfect for "Grease".

I loved the reaction! You guys really should watch the movie. It was really panned by critics, but if you go in with no expectations and just want to escape and have fun for 90 minutes, it's really a great time. The music is incredible. The basic premise is that 2 people from totally different generations decide to open a dance club together. You get lots of variety as far as styles of dancing and musical eras throughout the movie because of the difference in generations. There's a fun duet by Olivia and The Tubes that literally mixes the music of the generations (and could make for a fun reaction video). The tap dancing scene with Olivia and Gene Kelly is pretty special to watch. Olivia's song "Suspended In Time" is really beautiful and one of her lesser known gems (I would love to see you guys do a reaction to that song).

I knew she was sick and was not long for this world, but when she passed I was devastated. Whenever a musical artist passes away, I am reminded of the chorus of Rock 'n Roll Heaven: “If you believe in forever Then life is just a one-night stand If there's a rock n' roll heaven Well, you know they've got a hell of a band…” Imagine what music is being made right now with all the greats being there. Now, that Olivia Newton-John has joined the chorus, it was made that much sweeter. It makes me long for the great beyond just so I can be in the audience. We will all miss you here, rest well, Olivia.

"XANADU" came out on August 8, 1980. Olivia Newton-John was instantly my first crush at the tender age of five years old. This movie and its accompanying soundtrack just spoke to me. I loved it when others hated it. Xanadu was a love letter to the musicals of the 1940s, as well as the roller-disco craze of the late 1970s (which was on the way out in terms of societal popularity), and it introduced things that would go on to be influential in the early 1980s look and sound. It is my immediate go-to music and movie whenever I am in the depths of my depression (okay, sharing too much information). The timing of Ms. Newton-John's passing was completely bittersweet, as she passed from this mortal coil on August 8, 2022... the day and date of XANADU's 42 anniversary. May she rest in peace!

You immediately. picked up well on the pure joy. Olivia, in a power failure, could light up the room just with her smile. A total force of positivity. My generation is beside itself. she was so much more than just Grease, long before that, she was a 3 time Grammy winner, a totally rounded singer, even though she started out with "Country" music. That was the way she broke into the USA charts. she paid her show biz dues long before that in British and Australian TV shows etc. she covered jazz standards, folk and rock and country, pop, you name it. She was born in England but raised in Australia. A master singer, this is only the tip of the iceberg. She was about the song, not the diva opera. Watch the whole Xanadu movie...it weirdly interesting. Gene Kelly's last movie "[who's Gene Kelly?"]. it would have been a bigger movie but was somewhat disjointed. Jeff Lynn and ELO wrote/did a lot of the soundtrack. you need to dig deep into Olivia's songs and story to understand THIS is Not all she could do. She was the sweetest bad ass entertainer there ever was, no phony celebrity BS... Her father was a WWII hero, cracked the Japanese secret codes....most of all he kicked caner's ass for 30 years, set up a huge cancer clinic in Sidney Australia raising funds and putting in her own...she gave back what she received out of her celebrity status in spades. she sang this song in concerts decades later and still kicked butt, always looked great.

I'm of the OG punk generation, and I went hardcore during it. Baby pin earring, mohawk. Ramones and the Pistols and everything. But Olivia was a lady, and I loved -- and still love -- her music.

You actually get it! Olivia radiated pure love and joy that is what made so many people fall in love with her. By the way I'm loving your hair !

Olivia "radiated pure joy". So true. Not too many artists are such a joy to watch because they give off such positivity. There is one is becoming know who also radiates positivity everywhere she goes. It is Danielia Villarreal of The Warning. The Wolf Hunterz have reacted to several of their videos. Dany, as she is known, is the lead singer and guitarist. She has a sparkling, goofy personality that brightens up your day. Check her and the band if you like rock music and look for videos of her little live chats or "midnight concerts" where she sings music that is not rock. She is a great person and, although only 22, is likely to be an inspiration like Olivia is.

This had me choked up bad. It all seems not real. Olivia left us with a huge void in our hearts. But yes she is and always will be beautiful graceful caring loving lady. I met her for the first time in 84. And I've met a lot of famous people. But Olivia just had that spirit about her that makes you clam and so happy. Olivia also makes it like your the famous one. Not her. She was always giddy and happy to meet her fans. She makes it like it's a honor to have met you. Then saw her again and my other all time favorite number one person. Olivia's best friend Marie Osmond. The both together is amazing. And Olivia had a huge since of humor. Her and Marie together gracks people up. Olivia was the most precious gift that God has ever Givin us. Olivia is a true angel. RIP sweet Livvie. You will never be forgotten. We honestly love you our sweet song bird.

You guys are so cool and so wonderful to do this amazing tribute to Olivia. Especially since this is so far from your type of music. She was my first crush as a kid and, honestly, that crush has never truely subsided. Not ashamed to say so. There were very few kids back then who didn't have at least one poster of her on their bedroom wall. I grew up with her there and when she passed, it was like loosing a childhood friend that I'd grown up with. In this day it's actually rare to find a celebrity with her talent who is also genuinely kind, sweet, compassionate and just a good person. They broke the mold when they made her. Losing her hurt nearly as much as loosing my brother a few years ago. Maybe that's weird. But it's the truth. Thank you guys for this tribute to her. I hope you'll do more of her music. "Magic" and "Physical" are two of my favorites. I appreciate what you do. Thank you for your channel. And thanks to that dude who recommended this. I feel ya, man!

This wasn't just a music video, it was a clip from the movie _Xanadu (1980),_ starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly. Yes, _that_ Gene Kelly, of _Singing in the Rain (1958)_ fame, in his final motion picture role. One of the more memorable clips I'd love to see you react to is 'Whenever You're Away From Me', where the 68-year-old Kelly sings and dances with the 32-year-old Olivia. Screen magic!

She met her first husband, Matt Lattanzi, on the set. He was one of the dancers in the red Jacket you see paired with the Asian dancer in the lilac top.

This i's from the dance movie Xanadu, which also starred dance movie legend Gene Kelly. The band and backing viOcals on this song are ELO, who wrote part of the movie soundtrack. One of my favorite movies! If you watch the movie you might recognize the opening scène which was copied as a more recent music video.

Olivia was special. Xanadu was a flop as a movie (though my wife loved it) but the soundtrack track album and singles were very very successful.

Really liked seeing your reaction to this. I watched a "making of" for this movie, and the thing that struck me was how much the people who made it panned the story in the movie. At the same time, though, it was clear that a good amount of talent went into the song and dance routines. That's the reason to see it.

She has been my idol since I was 10! This song is from the movie by the same name and the video is actually from the end of the movie. It’s a must watch! Highly recommended! Then move from there to her videos from her Physical album then her Greatest Hits Volume 2! 🤘👍

She is Australian and spent time there from time to time. One time was the opening ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympics. Liv was 51 or 52 then and she and John Farnham sang to the crowd and walked within the athletes DARE TO DREAM. Well worth looking at (on youtube).

Choreographed by one of the greatest choreographers of all time, in fact. Michael Jackson This Is It , Dirty Dancing, and High School Musical are just a few more from Kenny Ortega’s portfolio. Amd the music behind her was written and performed by Jeff Lynne and ELO. They hated getting sucked into doing music for this film but as time went on Xanadu became one of Lynne’s favorite songs he wrote.

So this isn't really a music video. This is actually the final scene from the movie XANADU, that Olivia starred in. The movie involves a Night club/Discotech and this final scene is the grand opening, hence all of the dancers and performers. This song is her and ELO which is where you get that very iconic sound of the song that Electric Light Orchestra is known for. Add in Olivia's amazing voice and the song is legendary. Like your requester, Olivia was my first crush when I was a young lad and I was truly hearbroken when I heard of her passing. It is an end of an era and it leaves a huge hole in my childhood. I will miss you forever Sandy! I'm forever Hopelessly Devoted to you!

RIP Beautiful Olivia! I know that was Gene Kelly who was famous for the musical "Singing In The Rain" as well as many other Dance/ Musicals. He is the man right at the beginning of the video, and I did see some 40's style dancing going on, not sure the correct name. I also saw some Disco dancing.

I know how it feels to be devastated by the loss of an idol. It's often someone you grew up listening to and investing in, and it feels like a part of your life has gone - George Michael was my hero, for example. I was so sad when Olivia passed; she was great. I love this song and I went to see Xanadu when it came out in the cinema when I was just 10! Rest in peace lovely lady. Thanks for a great reaction. Do a reaction video to Travis watching Grease!!! x
