Bob Boyne- Western Australia --been drumming now for 70 years and loving rock all of my life but HSCC is the best band I've ever heard. That's it. Doesn't matter that they have written any of it. No more to say.
She is so good, that when I turn away my eyes from the screen, you could bet your own life that is Olivia the one singing. This cannot get any better than the actual state of perfection. Absolutely great band!!!
@@stephendines1936 NO WAY!!... ONJ has a very distinguished voice unlike any other, and she IS the MAGIC in the song!... but no doubt this band is very, very good tho.
Well,I wouldn't say she's that good...but did a real job here. Funny how you said that because being a big fan of Olivia Newton-John,I could always recognize her voice,even if I didn't see her singing,or if I had never heard the song before!💯♥️. This gal could have a singer career,sounds better than most of the singers today...good for her!"👍👏
If I close my eyes, I can almost believe that's Olivia singing. When I open them, I can still almost believe it. This band is FANTASTIC and I've been telling all my friends about it.
Yes Headhunter , i was saying the same thing.I was listening to these guys for a couple of weeks now and let me tell you ,nothing they have done so far i cant find fault of ,these people are sent from Heaven and i can listen to them all day and night.
Olivia is my first boyhood crush (outside of Marsha Brady) but I have to say these girls are better, all their songs are. It’s incredible how good they are
I was 9 years old and I heard this song, around 1981, I always go back in time, I remember my grandparents! Congratulations on this excellent repertoire!
l`m a drummer, first thing that grabbed me was the bass player and the drummer. Absolutely awesome, give the song it`s feel and groove, great to see such talented singers and musicians
The musical and personal charisma on display here from both mother and daughter (not to mention the instrumentalists) is so far "off the charts", it can only be described as "magic".
Wow. Been listening to this song since I was 13 in 1980. This captured the complete atmospheric essence of the song while breathing new life into it. The arrangement and colorings were incredible. As a former sound engineer I can say the fella in charge of the sound knows his stuff. We also have to thank the amazing John Farrar for writing this classic. There is simply NOTHING like this being written anymore. The current crop of artists do not have the creative musical depth, in my view.
I'm sure my number of views on this video has hit triple digits. She is simply amazing. Her eyes draw you in, her smile is mesmerizing and then boom she starts singing and that's it. Your soul is hers for all time
HSCC is all we listen to on the big screen with surround sound , there is no other group to listen to , every song is PERFECT , the musicians are SOOOOO talented, the singers are unbelieveable, we listen and watch over and over and over, cant get enough!
HSCC is very good, but youd be surprised there's a whole lot of bands there that are in their own rite pretty good and I'm pretty sure you'd love the variety. remember the saying? the more the better?
You guys always go Big! ...and never have to take the ball and go home. Each song has the melody and rhythm. My go to for classic covers. Thank you folks.🎉😊
Nikki is phenomenal! Conn is the most tasteful and melodic bass player I’ve ever heard and Mario just sittin’ in the pocket and grooving. Nice all the way around!
After watching olivia’s version many times recently,if i closed my eyes i listened to this one I could honestly say that thought is was olivia singing. Brilliant cover version 👍
This performance is magic. HSCC lead singer's vocals are as close to ONJ's as I've ever heard. The groove of the driving bass makes an old man wish for younger days.
Wow! THANK you for that! "Magic" is one of my all-time favorite ONJ songs. And "Xanadu" is one of my guilty pleasures....in FACT, if you want an idea for another cover, that would be one!
This is one of my top five Olivia favorites, so I was a bit nervous before I listened. NAILED IT!! When she hits the high notes I got chills down my spine!! Everybody came together on this one--! Olivia is smiling down upon you all after hearing this!!
For two seconds I thought there was no Darren! WHEW! Thank you for providing such an UPLIFTING soundtrack to such troubling times. LOVE TO THE HSCC FROM NJ, USA!
Great, great job everyone! I was going to make a comment about the drummer being hidden but when he stood up in camera shot at the end & twirled the drumstick I shouted out my approval with "yeah that's how you do it!" 👍
I met Olivia Newton John in 1991 in Austin Texas at one of the store openings (Koala Blue). She was even more beatutitul in person. And few can match her wonderful voice, but this girl gives it a solid go at it. BTW this is a great and tight band.
I just love this number, these two ladies have magic voices, the band is so perfect .... hard to think this is a mother daughter duo ... more like sisters .. love to see you live one day .. hello from Victoria
Once again, the HSCC have knocked the ball out of the park with this terrific rendition of Magic. They look good, sound good, and (during these sad/strange times) make us all feel good.
I comeback to this song once a day,I just love it.I swear it’s the original version it sounds so close.What a groove,Nikki can sing like the heavens sent her.Just a fantastic version.
I was a kid in the 70s and Olivia Newton John was my first little boy crush. She could have sung the dictionary to me and I would've listened to every word of it. This was my favorite song of hers. This is a great cover ladies, thanks for the flashback.
For years I have checked Olivia covers and no one I found was able to emulate her underrated style as well as Nikki on this song and the other Olivia covers. Well done!
Great job!! Olivia is smiling down on you, I believe that!! She was a beautiful person and performer, I remember hearing this when I was 12yrs old, I was floored by her beauty!! 😁❤️❤️✌️R.I.P. Olivia
I can listen to this Band all day. The music is perfect. Nikki you are killing the vocals with sassy soulful/pop sounds....your daughter is as beautifully as you are and can sing also. I love this cover, sounds better than the original, no disrespect to Ms. Olivia. Tzan you nailed it on the guitar solo. Love you guys
I love this cover. It retains the key elements that made the original so special and doesn't ruin it with trendy crap. but adds enough new stuff to keep it interesting. vocalist channels olivia really well here.
Darren, Con, please consider a live stream event featuring Nikki and, yes, Jaylena. I’m certain the interest will be very, very high if Nikki heads the playbill for such an event and the harmonies by Nikki and Jaylena are just as sweet as it can get. There are so many great songs out there just perfect for Nikki to easily pull off an hour of great HSCC music!! Please give it some thought.....Thanks!!👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️
I've always loved Olivia and especially this song, but let me just tell you guys ROCKED IT with this one!! Love this version a lot more! Awesome job HSCC!!
How freaking baller would it be having HSCC AND Mariachi Entertainment Systems Open and Close at your next Wedding, Quince, Ammiversary, or Birthday Bash??!! The Mariachi would be fun! But your guests would be blown away when HSCC simply morph's into whatever top shelf songs you can dream up! Baddass cover band..
I just found HSCC. addicted now. question the girls are always dressed to the 9's yet the guys are totally casual.
It takes a lot of work to look that casual.
Olivia's passing today make this rendition of a classic that much more touching ... Rest in peace Olivia. May God be with you.
✨🙏🏽 I hear you Scott
Stunning tribute from all.
I was sowing my wild oats in the 70s! RIP Olivia!!
She was amazing.

They’re all Aussies .. Olivia too
Listening to this, I am proud to be an Adelaidian musician. Absolutely fabulous on all levels.
It actually sounds better than ONJ in my opinion
@@stephendines1936 NO WAY!!... ONJ has a very distinguished voice unlike any other, and she IS the MAGIC in the song!... but no doubt this band is very, very good tho.
Just Incredible!!
Just can't stop listening...close my eyes and Olivia is still here. You're a great singer, Nikki.
Yep Nikki is a terrific singer.
I feel the same way ... Nikki has captured the unique sound of "Magic" very beautifully.
Well,I wouldn't say she's that good...but did a real job here. Funny how you said that because being a big fan of Olivia Newton-John,I could always recognize her voice,even if I didn't see her singing,or if I had never heard the song before!💯♥️. This gal could have a singer career,sounds better than most of the singers today...good for her!"👍👏
This is what a cover sounds like when the singer captures every nuance of the original artist.
Every word and note matters.
It was the best cover I've ever heard of an Olivia Newton John song, Nikki simply has the voice, the timbre, everything like Olivia, perfection
Have you heard the Tori Holub version?
@@Vladimirthetiny yes, but the version of The Hscc with Nikki is better
@@nilsonsp586 I couldn't say that one is "better" than the other, both are great!
If I close my eyes, I can almost believe that's Olivia singing. When I open them, I can still almost believe it.
This band is FANTASTIC and I've been telling all my friends about it.
HeadHunter ♥️♥️
Yes Headhunter , i was saying the same thing.I was listening to these guys for a couple of weeks now and let me tell you ,nothing they have done so far i cant find fault of ,these people are sent from Heaven and i can listen to them all day and night.
@@NikkiKosmiderHeuskes Every bit the way I remember it from way back when. Bravo!
Olivia is my first boyhood crush (outside of Marsha Brady) but I have to say these girls are better, all their songs are. It’s incredible how good they are
Still here my wakeup in the morning,the best way to startup
Rest in peace Olivia. May God be with you.
Two beautiful women paying a great tribute to another beautiful woman.
R I P - Olivia Newton John - August, 8 2022 🙏😢😭
I was 9 years old and I heard this song, around 1981, I always go back in time, I remember my grandparents! Congratulations on this excellent repertoire!
Nikki thank you for keeping ONJ alive in our memories.
Nikki, you take a 60 year old man back to his teens in the late 70’s with ONJ posters on the wall. Thanks for making me smile!
Other 60 y.o. from Italy feels the same. Thanks to the band.
gianca60
Haha also from 🇩🇪
Just turned 60 here..😀
I just found this video and then heard the terrible news that Olivia had passed away. A great tribute. RIP Olivia Newton John
とにかくメインボーカルの女性がチョー最高、笑顔、のり、ダンス、歌唱力、そして自然に歌声をピタッと合わすプロを感じます、大好き!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
What I love here is the singer capturing Olivia's sweet, subtle vibrato, and sensual voice without overplaying it. Such control is rare these days...
l`m a drummer, first thing that grabbed me was the bass player and the drummer. Absolutely awesome, give the song it`s feel and groove, great to see such talented singers and musicians
This band has it all, talent, musicianship, professionalism, looks, attitude... should write their own songs
The only thing they need is a bigger rehearsal space.
It cannot be, I cannot believe, that they are mother and daughter! They look like two sisters, joined by beauty, friendliness and talent!
The musical and personal charisma on display here from both mother and daughter (not to mention the instrumentalists) is so far "off the charts", it can only be described as "magic".
Every lineup they have is incredible and their harmonies are top-notch and their musicianship... well I can't say enough about it
You can only go so far as a cover band. Check out The Warning. Teenagers who write their own music and lyrics.
Right on Andrew

Real people, real musicians, real SONGS, real band... KEEP DOING WHAT YOU KNOW BEST... CONGRATS HSCC
RIP. I hope your group can do a special tribute. She was one most humble and amazing performers of all time 😞
♥️

The sound engineer is on keyboard, Darren Mullen, very gifted.
Libby (Olivia Newton John) would be very proud to hear this marvelous rendition... Wonderful!...
Absolutely brilliant cover. RIP Olivia, beautiful lady in every way. Lots of memories of her growing up.🙏
I love Nikki's voice, I can not have enough of her singing, hope to hear more of her glorious vocals covered by HSCC
no i love her lol she is brill
I LOVE Nikki
she is so beautiful as well lovely smile great voice
Yes this Voice from Nikki is amazing like an Angel 😘👌
Close your eyes on this song and listen it is Olivia Newton John.
Rarely do I see someone with a "pure" voice. This is one of those times...
Okay guys I know I'm 4 years late but this is just beautiful. Can't stop playing it.
I can’t stop watching this and can’t stop listening to these guys......my God so good!!!!
I know it!!! Me too! And I just found their channel a week or so ago!! I have lots of catching up to do!! Love them all!
100% agree!
@@annettecinquemanifalbo17 enjoy!!! They have helped me get through this crazy year. Yup got the tee shirt and mug, lol!
I am totally entranced!
Nikki's daughters eyes are mesmerizing!
This is absolutely world-class: vocals, musicians, arrangement and production.
Great cover of Olivia Newton John. RIP ONJ.
This song changed my life in 1980. Someone spoke to me through it.
I was led to accept Life Eternal.
This lady is quite phenomenal. Wow. What a band
Passion
I'm sure my number of views on this video has hit triple digits. She is simply amazing. Her eyes draw you in, her smile is mesmerizing and then boom she starts singing and that's it. Your soul is hers for all time
OMG... upon hearing this... reminds me the good old days in the late 70s and my prime during the 80s.... LOVE this band and the main singer...❤❤
From Spain I would just like to say that the HSCC are amazing and without doubt Nikki is sensational...
Damn, she is EXCELLENT, as is the band and backing vocals!! Beautiful voice. Pitch also spot on!!!
I want to hear “Xanadu” next! That will bring me back to the 80’s for sure!
I was thinking the same. That's one of my favourite songs 😉
Yesss. Not the Rush one though!
HSCC is all we listen to on the big screen with surround sound , there is no other
group to listen to , every song is PERFECT , the musicians are SOOOOO talented,
the singers are unbelieveable, we listen and watch over and over and over, cant get enough!

So sad the passing of Olivia Newton John but you make this song your own...absolute class rendition of an already class song x
Nikki is phenomenal! Conn is the most tasteful and melodic bass player I’ve ever heard and Mario just sittin’ in the pocket and grooving. Nice all the way around!

Thank You TJ 🙏🙏
😊 thank you soooo much tj
The bass player slays on all these tunes. Lines to learn for days!

Wow I'm just blown away. I have loved the music of the movie Xanadu ever since I was a kid. Thanks for the memories.
Kevin Watkins me too ♥️
Love this cover, Olivia would be proud. Olivia rest in peace!
For two seconds I thought there was no Darren! WHEW! Thank you for providing such an UPLIFTING soundtrack to such troubling times. LOVE TO THE HSCC FROM NJ, USA!
Haha Darren and Con are co-founders of the HSCC and will always be in each video
john farrar is such a criminally underrated songwriter.
ms3bani I agree 🤟🏾
So true!
ms3bani so right, this was a huge song in the early 80’s, I wonder why you don’t here about him more.
I believe this is mother and daughter. Wow! Incredible!
Great, great job everyone! I was going to make a comment about the drummer being hidden but when he stood up in camera shot at the end & twirled the drumstick I shouted out my approval with "yeah that's how you do it!" 👍
Mario Marino is the BEST
Beautiful vocals, the sound of angels, so glad to have this band in my life, come to England soon please.
What a spookily brilliant cover. The singers voice is so like ONJ's it's uncanny.
Took me back as a kid skating at the roller rink in the 80's Tennessee USA
Me Too!! Bellevue, Wash Skate King in the 70s :)
Rolladium Rink..San Mateo, CA
So true!
What’s a roller rink?
My first kiss at Roller king. USA. Albuquerque N.M Lol ...was just a kid. All there music is great.
👍🇺🇲🇺🇲✌
For the two hundred and eighty thumbs down get some ear plugs. This is a masterpiece 🙏 thanks again to the band and the angel singing
Totally agree. What's wrong with their hearing? HSCC so wonderful 💕
Nobody can sing like olivia..they need to give it up there not even close to Olivia's sound!
Spare your money for the plugs. Those people are deaf to good music and performances anyway. You can’t save them all… 😂
44 years ago this was on the radio.
I have this song on a 45.
Olivia would be happy if she heard this.💕
Xanadu Next?
They've already recorded Xanadu, do a search. It's a great rendition.
@@MikeSmithEnterprisesthanks
I'm binge watching this video. It's seriously got a MAGICAL haunting quality to it ! Quite stunning!

What an amazing cover . Absolutely magical combination of voices of Nikki Jaylena and Daz.....
Nikki - your voice is so smooth and it melts like butter all over this song from beginning to end! ❤️
Steve B thx Steve 🙏🏽♥️
This is superb! To cover a track like this live and do such a good job of it is truly a feat. Well done all!

After knowing ONJ passed away i had to watch this. Bravo very good. Excellent cover.
The singers have those eyes that you will never ever forget

Sounds exactly like Olivia! Wonderful job - this singer is really evolving into something!!! And her look is so great.
