If Olivia Newton John ever told me she loved me, I would pass out and be in a coma for several weeks 😂😍🥰. Such a beautiful lady and, by any accounts you hear, she was a sweet person as well. RIP.
One of the most beautiful women in the world till the day we lost her, and one of the greatest legendary singers, RIP beautiful Olivia Newton John🙏🏾♥️💐
I absolutely adored her. She was my first teen crush at 13 years old and would stare at the album cover with her beautiful face on it and imagined she was singing this song to me. She left a lasting impression on so many and will always be missed. RIP Olivia Newton-John. 💔
Thank you for reacting to my request. Olivia captured my heart in 1974 with this song. I was lucky enough to meet her several times later in her life (post 2001). In one of her last concerts (2018) she dedicated this song to my wife and I after our wedding. So this song has special place in my life. I can say that Olivia was the most kind and caring person in the world. We all have lost a special one in a billion person.
She had an AMAZING Duet with John Denver called "Fly away"... An Intro John did was to Look back and ask Olivia to join him onstage. Of Course she wasn't there, so he asked all the Women in the Audience to sing her part!
For me, yes...ONJ and her song, "I Honestly Love You" represent the pinnacle of authenticity, the sincerity of what I believe, is the most important & potent human emotion, LOVE. And don't we need more authenticity in our world!
I fell in love with her voice and her songs when I first heard her back in the 70's..Ran out and bought an 8 track of her music..I think it was titled "Have You Never Been Mellow" which is another very good song....As someone already said she was one of my first crushes..
Olivia was, behind the showbiz image, a totally beautiful person. She left the spotlight to care for her husband and helped rescue many abused animals by creating a sanctuary. RIP British Rose. xxx
Oliva is larger than life !!! what a legacy she left in music not to mention the Cancer wellness center in her native Australia ( ps the prettiest in the music business , we all men had a crush with her )
Such a beautiful, tender love song. The fact that the love isn't returned makes it even more poignant. Olivia had such a lovely way with tone and phrasing, especially live (like here). The song must have resonated with a lot of people because it was an enormous Number One hit for her.
I still get a lump in my throat when I hear this. When Olivia looks into the camera with those big beautiful eyes, it's like she's looking into your soul.
In my lifetime I've never seen someone bring you into the emotions of a song like she did, with just facial expressions. And I don't think she ever failed to do emote a song. Plus, this is a rare true Live performance and it's just about spot on. This is the song that catapulted her career, her first #1.
I don't think any reactors played or knew of this song when she passed (they played mostly post Grease material). Written by Jeff Barry and Peter Allen, it was her first #1 record in 1974 (this is a good version as was the studio version). I believe it won the 1975 Grammy Record of the Year and Best Pop Performance Female but not Song of The Year (Barbra Streisand's The Way We Were won). Take a bow for playing it, for me and I'm sure for some others, IMO I consider it her best and signature song. 🥲
Although I first saw this video many years ago, I am forever affected by it...the way Olivia looks so intently at the camera as if it was the person she loved...the way her eyes tearfully glisten as if she was truly suffering from unrequited love...the way her pain is clearly expressed in her sweet singing voice. She was such a sensitive empathetic soul. I would have given anything for her to have been talking to me. And, of course, it was in a dream, as it only could have been, that I finally got to interrupt her to say "Wait, you've got me all wrong....I love you too!"
You've always been an astute observer of the music and the musicians (and have continued to improve with that over the years). This may have been your best analysis.
You are so right about singing and emotion. I can't do it because the emotions choke me up. I am in a musical family and my brother sang at my dad's grave after we physically buried his ashes together. He held it together, while we were all in tears. This sensitive but strong man also sang and played to perfection "Tears in Heaven" at our grandmother's funerial. He only broke down both times after he did what he felt he had to do to honor them. I will forever love him.
Know all the words to this...but so many don't pay attention to why they can't be together..."here I am with mine and there you are with yours".... they are each already involved with someone else! Makes falling truly in love so much sadder!😢
I like Olivia Newton John she really made you feel the emotions attached to this song, and she could mix it up she proved that in the film Grease and she was a good dancer, sadly she's gone now, RIP thank you for your reaction 🌹
What an amazing reaction. You are so observant. We love and miss our Olivia Newton-John. What an angel on earth beautiful outside and inside. Thank you again for your reaction.
Real talent , real musicians and instruments....where have they all gone? there are many today who would sound better without all the computer sh*t. This was 4 years before she starred in Grease. she won Grammys and had top hit records LONG before Grease and now all everyone ever talke s about when hernm comes up is Grease. Paleeeaase. This is talent Waaay beyond the musical Grease.
Great observation Angela, her eyes were so expressive it gave me goosebumps !! All the way through the song !! That’s why you’re head and shoulders the best reaction channel !! 🙏🏻❤️
Such a great song! I've loved ONJ's music since the early 70's. Her ballads will be forever timeless. This song is so heartbreaking; much like the song by England Dan & John Ford Coley "It's Sad To Belong". The 70's had so many songs about longing for that elusive special love. GREAT REACTION ANGELA . . . WE ALL LOVE YOU TOO!
I wouldn't say "barely known". She was already very popular and on the rise. By this time, she already had two top 10 hits in the US and a Grammy Award. The songwriters of "I Honestly Love You" were Jeff Barry and Peter Allen. Peter wanted the song for himself but Jeff Barry convinced him to let Olivia sing it since she was already a very popular singer. This song would continue to raise her popularity, third straight top ten and reaching #1 for two weeks, plus two more Grammy Awards and a #1 album. 😀
I remember seeing her sing this on Dick Clark's New Year's Eve show. I was mesmerized by her. I had just married a woman who was actually better-looking than her but couldn't sing like that.
She and I were born about a month apart from each other. I finally saw her in concert about 12 years ago. Really terrific. This was the last song she sung. "Memorable" is an understatement.
If Olivia Newton John ever told me she loved me, I would pass out and be in a coma for several weeks 😂😍🥰. Such a beautiful lady and, by any accounts you hear, she was a sweet person as well. RIP.
Quick...well hopefully u would get outta the coma and have fun with Olivia!
@@michaelasay8587 Hopefully. 😂😳
Couldn't agree more Quick...
Amazing woman for sure. 😔
That would be a diabetic coma, I'd guess?
Aw! she was so lovely. I can see why men fell in love with her.
No auto tune, no computer generated 'music' and no lip syncing. Just talent.
The mix is off
That’s what I call a Perfect performance
One of the most beautiful women in the world till the day we lost her, and one of the greatest legendary singers, RIP beautiful Olivia Newton John🙏🏾♥️💐
I absolutely adored her. She was my first teen crush at 13 years old and would stare at the album cover with her beautiful face on it and imagined she was singing this song to me. She left a lasting impression on so many and will always be missed. RIP Olivia Newton-John. 💔
Here here 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Olivia Newton-John was just pure. She belonged in an elite group of singers who were perfect. God Bless Her, she is missed.
Olivia and Karen Carpenter were great friends
I was 14... seriously.... she wrecked a lot of hearts...lol.. Beautiful inside and out...
She was so good at expressing the emotions while sounding like an angel . I have good memories of the 70s because of the music.
She was a very beautiful woman with a very beautiful voice
I just love your reaction. I’ve loved Olivia since I was 7. She was an incredible singer.
She is the most lovely lady.
This song & hopeless devoted to you. This 2 song makes me love her.
what an angel she was
Thank you for reacting to my request. Olivia captured my heart in 1974 with this song. I was lucky enough to meet her several times later in her life (post 2001).

I can say that Olivia was the most kind and caring person in the world. We all have lost a special one in a billion person.
Olivia Newton John puts a lot of feeling into her songs,especially these earlier ones.Great song beautifully sung-Colin Ward.
She had an AMAZING Duet with John Denver called "Fly away"... An Intro John did was to Look back and ask Olivia to join him onstage. Of Course she wasn't there, so he asked all the Women in the Audience to sing her part!
She had some great duets with Andy Gibb & his big bro Barry as well!🎶
we''ll always love u, Olivia
For me, yes...ONJ and her song, "I Honestly Love You" represent the pinnacle of authenticity, the sincerity of what I believe, is the most important & potent human emotion, LOVE. And don't we need more authenticity in our world!

If you haven't already, "Have you ever been mellow" is a great one and also "Magic" by Olivia
Olivia was, behind the showbiz image, a totally beautiful person. She left the spotlight to care for her husband and helped rescue many abused animals by creating a sanctuary. RIP British Rose. xxx
Honest emotions create some of the best music.
Oliva is larger than life !!! what a legacy she left in music not to mention the Cancer wellness center in her native Australia ( ps the prettiest in the music business , we all men had a crush with her )
Olivia Newton-John "Have You Never Been Mellow"...Nuff Said.
I'm so still devastated shes gone and can't believe her year since passing away is coming up. 🤍🤍✨♥️♥️
Such a beautiful, tender love song. The fact that the love isn't returned makes it even more poignant. Olivia had such a lovely way with tone and phrasing, especially live (like here). The song must have resonated with a lot of people because it was an enormous Number One hit for her.
this is such a great song 💙 🎶🎼🎵💙 Olivia's voice & hearing those lyrics makes me melt like hot butter sitting on a hot 🔥 day 💯😎💙🎵🎼🎶💙
My all time best wanna be girl, Olivia.
Rip stunningly , breathtakingly gorgous lady!!
I still get a lump in my throat when I hear this. When Olivia looks into the camera with those big beautiful eyes, it's like she's looking into your soul.
LOVED her in GREASE!!
RIP Olivia. My first crush.
And with that every guy from age 12 to 92 fell in love with Olivia Newton John!! Thank you for such a touching reaction!
My favorite Olivia Newton John Ballard is "Sam"
In my opinion, this was her most beautiful song. It's a masterpiece. RIP Olivia.
In my lifetime I've never seen someone bring you into the emotions of a song like she did, with just facial expressions. And I don't think she ever failed to do emote a song.

Imagine being 14 boy and seeing this video. I didnt have to imagine🙂
An amazing singer ..take care ..

😂 I hear ya
Truly one of the most beautiful people that ever existed. Inside and outside..Lovely... I named my daughter Olivia after her...
This song was out when I was in the eighth grade. Very popular slow song at the school dances. Hope you're doing wonderful!
I sure do miss her.....what a beautiful voice and I believe a real person. ❤ RIP, Angel.
Reaction suggestion for another Olivia Newton John song: "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from the 1978 blockbuster movie Grease.
If there is such a thing as a dream girl. Olivia Newton John is it.😢 R.I.P
You've always been an astute observer of the music and the musicians (and have continued to improve with that over the years). This may have been your best analysis.
I always had a crush on her. Such a beautiful woman and a beautiful soul and voice like an angel. Rest in peace Olivia.❤🙏💐
The song was written by Jeff Barry and Australian Peter Allen -The boy from oz.
Beautiful song….Beautiful 😢❤❤❤
Beautiful song
She was the best..
I remember ONJ performing this song on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.... she shed a tear as she finished the song. It was epic.
The night I fell in love with her.
I honestly love her❤
You are so right about singing and emotion. I can't do it because the emotions choke me up.

I will forever love him.
I know how difficult it is to open yourself up to another human being, especially when you think that person is just incredible. 😮
Before I even watch the video, I was absolutely looking forward to you reviewing it.
Angela you summed that up perfectly. thank you.
Know all the words to this...but so many don't pay attention to why they can't be together..."here I am with mine and there you are with yours".... they are each already involved with someone else! Makes falling truly in love so much sadder!😢
I like Olivia Newton John she really made you feel the emotions attached to this song, and she could mix it up she proved that in the film Grease and she was a good dancer, sadly she's gone now, RIP thank you for your reaction 🌹
Applause is right Angela🎉
She was beautiful! I love her beautiful voice. Rest in Peace Olivia.🙏✝️❤️
What an amazing reaction. You are so observant. We love and miss our Olivia Newton-John. What an angel on earth beautiful outside and inside. Thank you again for your reaction.
The Golden Goddess
Real talent , real musicians and instruments....where have they all gone? there are many today who would sound better without all the computer sh*t.

YES--great points and on top of that what abeauty she was. Wow!
Wow! The words to this song are very touching. Not sure why but when I see her sad expression singing this, I think of Lady Diana.
My brother and I attended a Newton-John and Paul Williams concert in the early days of her career.
As a fan of her's since the mid 70's, it was an honor to be able to see her in concert a few years before she passed. 💖
Her biggest hit I think but I’ve always loved it; how could I forget about the Grease songs
No, her biggest hit was Physical
I'd love to see your reaction for her "Have You Never Been Mellow"
And your wish was granted:

Oliviaaaaaa ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Great observation Angela, her eyes were so expressive it gave me goosebumps !! All the way through the song !! That’s why you’re head and shoulders the best reaction channel !! 🙏🏻❤️
Such an amazing song and of course the amazing Olivia brings it to life…
She also has a song called "SAM" that is just as good.
It still is hard for me to believe that she is no longer with us. Olivia seemed to be timeless.
Her voice was and will remain timeless. Incredibly underrated
Millions of preteen boys like me absolutely fell for Olivia Newton John in the early 70s because of songs like this one. Truly an angel 💘 RIP
Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time. Ah hell made me tear up.
Such a great song! I've loved ONJ's music since the early 70's. Her ballads will be forever timeless.
This song is so heartbreaking; much like the song by England Dan & John Ford Coley "It's Sad To Belong". The 70's had so many songs about longing for that elusive special love.
GREAT REACTION ANGELA . . . WE ALL LOVE YOU TOO!
Hi Angela!!She's one of my fav.singer eventhough i'm not born in their era...just 22 in age...she is Karen Carpenter bestfriend..
A great song & story that most today don't & won't ever know,, Which is an absolute shame,, Jimmie Rodgers "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"
I miss her ❤
I was in love with her, what with her incredible beauty and breathy voice with beautiful vibrato. She was amazing.
Took me right back to 15
She was barely known at this time. That wouldn't last much longer.
I wouldn't say "barely known". She was already very popular and on the rise. By this time, she already had two top 10 hits in the US and a Grammy Award. The songwriters of "I Honestly Love You" were Jeff Barry and Peter Allen.

This song would continue to raise her popularity, third straight top ten and reaching #1 for two weeks, plus two more Grammy Awards and a #1 album. 😀
That`s not true at all, she had several hits and even reprsented the UK in Eurovision song contest
@@telstar4772 Okay, rephrase wasn't well known on this side of the pond.,
Angela love the hair... beautiful. And you look beautiful there!
2nd only to comments about Angela’s looks are mentions of her hair (of the week). Cracks me up every time. 😂✌🏽
Wonderful, wonderful reaction! Thank you! She has moved me more than any entertainer in my entire life. She will be so missed!
Ladies Night😊 Enjoy the music ladies!
A MUST HEAR Classic,, Herb Alpert "This Guy's In Love With You"...TRUST ME!!
That's some next level stuff right there.
I remember seeing her sing this on Dick Clark's New Year's Eve show. I was mesmerized by her. I had just married a woman who was actually better-looking than her but couldn't sing like that.
Love her and Karen Carpenter!!
She, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand and Linda Ronstadt my Mt. Rushmore of female singers.
Big crush for a ten year old. Beautiful song and good lessons of love. Olivia is an icon !!!!!
Thanks for your poignant personal insights, Angela. Great points. Difficult lessons to learn.
She and I were born about a month apart from each other. I finally saw her in concert about 12 years ago. Really terrific. This was the last song she sung. "Memorable" is an understatement.
Honestly love you, mate..........
Beautiful song from a golden voice.
Please Mr. Please is another great Olivia Newton John song.
I Honestly Love You
DayOne… You’re Extremely Beautiful 🌷❤️😘🥰
I can only imagine the reunion Karen Carpenter and ONJ had when they met again in heaven.
My teenage crush... I love her.😎
