Olivia [Explicit Lyrics]

Amazon.com
Eyes rimmed with smoky charcoal liner, lips glossed to a porcelain sneer, Olivia--the first artist to be signed to Clive Davis's J Records--fronts like she's hip-hop hard and soul-singer soft on the cover photo of her eponymous debut. Luckily for her, the music biz is all about image these days, since there's not much to back up her posturing on this collection of ho-hum titillaters. The 20-year-old singer/rapper from Queens does her best to exude diva-esque traits--sex-kitten appeal, bling-bling bravado, and a whole lot of 'tude. And these elements come together nicely over the infectiously lowdown groove of "Bizounce," the album's slang-slinging first single (yet another addition to the growing canon of no-scrubs anthems). But Olivia's voice--a delicate, girlish mezzo-soprano à la Mya or Aaliyah--is ill suited to the tough-as-nails swagger she tries to convey with lyrics like "Nigga, you ain't knowing you was f---ing with a star" ("Silly Bitch in Love"), or "I'm in love with America's most dangerous thug" ("Til He Comes Home"). For all of her bluster though, Olivia's more than a pretty face--she's got a knack for delivering R&B melodies with hip-hop flair. And, occasionally, her vocals shine (like on the lilting ballad "It's on Again"), hopefully indicating that she will transcend her current role as a prepackaged pop star. --Sylvia W. Chan

Amazon.com

The movie is a 1970s take on 1950s musicals, providing all the kitsch anyone could hope for. It's John Travolta as Danny Zuko as Olivia Newton-John's pompadoured main squeeze, and the kids go crazy. Fresh from his astronomical success with Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, Bee Gee Barry Gibb penned the title track (sung by Frankie Valli). Sha Na Na is over-represented, and actress Stockard Channing struts her, um, versatility, singing a couple of tracks. This has become a touchstone in American culture, and so isn't likely to improve our standing in the world's eyes. Maybe the point is that it's supposed to sound amateurish, but it does manage to eke out some fun, most notably on the hit "You're the One That I Want." --Scott Wilson

old but still got it.......2007-07-21

This was my first album in record form. My preteen daughter now loves it and has taken it over and choreographed every song with her friends.

Several Weak Tracks.......2007-06-27

The only thing holding this album back from being consistentatly a 5 star critic's favorite is the fact that it contains several weak tracks, and the title song Grease is possibly the only legitimate song that will bring back nostalgia for those that liked the movie and the singing in the musical. I always thought they were stuck in the 50s, but they've updated it to like the 70s or maybe even 90s, but still not modern enough for my tastes. The music is well crafted filler to a classic movie that will only date with time.

Throwback music.......2007-05-29

If you hav ever seen the movie than you already know, and if you haven't, then you need to. It is a classic American musical, with great oldies music. Highly recommeded.

Very Upbeat Songs.......2007-05-21

Listening to the music from Grease brings back the good memories of watching the movie. The music is funny (Summer Nights; Beauty School Dropout; Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee; Greased Lighting), touching (There Are Worse Things I Could Do; Hopelessly Devoted To You) and very 70's (Blue Moon; Rock "n" Roll Is Here To Stay; Born To Hand Jive). John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sing great, but the supporting cast (Stockard Channing, Sha-Na-Na), also contribute to a good sound. Great rock and roll!

Classic nostalgia .......2007-05-03

I of course remember when I was eight years old when Grease came out and I played the singles to death on the turntable. Revisiting now I remember how *cumbersome* it is. The first ten tracks are absolutely essential. They are the strength and reflection of the soundtrack and what makes the movie go.

Any listener should not be remiss about the cumbersome nature of the soundtrack. One can skip over easily the songs they don't like. Not like the ol' turntable vinyl where that convenience was not there. Let's face it, too much Sha-Na-Na is too much Sha-Na-Na.

Overall, it's a great buy for the asking price for those who remember. A versatile Travolta and Newton-John strutted their stuff in a time they could do no wrong. And contributions by Franki Valli, Channing and Avalon make this a good listen.

I love the music.......2007-07-23

I bought the CD (I'm sure I have the tape somewhere) after going to see Xanadu the musical on Broadway. These songs are great. These are the best songs by ELO and some of the best by Olivia Newton-John.

Saw the Broadway show!!!!.......2007-07-13

Holy Moly- The movie is terrible and the broadway musical is PURE Heaven! What a blast. Go Go GO! It's the most fun I've had in a theater in years!

Just saw the Broadway show!.......2007-07-09

let's face it the movie sucks; the soundtrack is pretty great (with nostalgia's glow). so, i was sooo shocked by the stage version. the creators figured that taking a crappy, dated film and sending it up is, if not easier, better than trying to recreate a classic. trust me, that's the only reason i looked at this listing, haha. it made me realize that even the crap from our past can be good enough to look back on fondly.

XANADU still rocks!.......2007-06-04

Yep! Proud to say I own the CD and DVD. The movie was corney but the soundtrack was great! I remember seeing the movie when I was younger and left the theater happy because it was all fantasy and I hummed to all the songs. Olivia has a voice of a goddess and I I'll never get tired listening to "MAGIC" over and over again. If anybody come visit NYC go see XANADU on broadway. I had such a good time and the show is real funny because they make a parady of the movie.

great for nostalgia.......2007-05-22

Great CD for "old" people that remember it. The Cliff Richard songs are kind of plain, but the rest is good to listen to.

It's hard to have a more milquetoast image than Olivia Newton-John. Even when she was decked out in stretch pants and stiletto heels at the end of Grease, you never mistook her for a wild girl. Proudly carrying the torch once held high by Karen Carpenter, Newton-John embodied the safer and, yes, blander side of the '70s and early '80s. But just like Carpenter went on to be rehabilitated as a pop singer, Newton-John's career deserves a second look--and this compilation is a good way to start. Even if the singer's precise touch was audible as early as 1973 (on the countryish "Let Me Be There"), she reached her peak five years later with Grease and the torchy "Hopelessly Devoted to You." "Physical" may be the best-known episode of the singer's leg-warmer years, but the one to cherish forever remains "Xanadu." On it, Newton-John basically fronted Electric Light Orchestra and the result is one of the most underrated songs of the past 25 years. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Some magic, many styles.......2007-07-23

When I ordered this CD I had forgotten that Olivia was originally a country singer! I'm not much of a country fan, but a couple of those made it into pop and I like those. It's OK, but some of the songs are also in the Xanadu CD that I also purchased.

This cd is Magic........2007-05-14

This cd is Magic. Loved Oliva's music. Still love it. There maybe too many songs from the movie Grease, but they were alot of fun.

Truly beautiful!!.......2007-05-14

I love this cd. I listen to it almost every day if not every other day. "SAM" & "Suddenly" are great love songs.

Great Stuff.......2007-01-09

Purchased two copies of this album as gifts for my wife and her sister. They both loved it. This album is a great collection of Olivia's work. If you're a a fan, like they are, this album is for you.

Olivia at Her Finest.......2007-01-09

All my favorites in this DVD nicely done as usual by Olivia. This one is a definite for Olivia fans!

many guilty pleasures abound!!!.......2006-12-19

...but the song on here that i am definitely feeling right now is "suddenly", the ballad that olivia did with cliff richard back in 1980, which was a serious time for abundant guilty pleasures on fm pop radio at the time. i used to hear this song all the time on the bus going to and coming home from elementary school in the 3rd grade, and even caught cliff and olivia perform it on "solid gold"!! (damn, that's a lond time ago!) i just love the chorus, with the "i...i, i....i'm ready to sail any ocean.." yeah, all the hits are on this cd, but this is one to put on for that serious slow jam on the dance floor!!

The best Olivia's compilation!.......2006-11-10

All the hits, powerful key album songs (I love "Don't stop believing"). "Changes" and "Love song" are missing, but it doesn't matter, all the tracks are really lovely

Un buen disco de Olivia Newton John.......2006-11-08

Este disco doble trae canciones de sus primeros albumes para aquellos que siguieron de cerca su carrera musical escuchar este disco sera toda una satisfacción canciones como "Xanadu", "The Rumour", "Twist of fate" "Suddenly", "Physical" Magic" son algunas por citarlas el resto de canciones con su habitual tono de voz a mi me gusto este disco se los recomiendo

Father of five children, pop musician Kenny Loggins follows up 1994's highly successful Return to Pooh Corner with this More Songs collection. "Your Heart Will Lead You Home," the title track for Disney's animated Tigger Movie, leads off. Cowritten with Disney's legendary songwriting Sherman Brothers, "Your Heart" sets the tone for what is to come: a various-source compilation of clean, classic family fare in the tradition of The Jungle Book, Winnie the Pooh, and Beauty and the Beast. "Flying Dreams," a ballad from The Secret of Nimh beautifully pairs the artist with Olivia Newton-John. Loggins's original "Always, in All Ways" tenderly champions unconditional parental love, and "That'll Do" from Randy Newman's score for Babe: Pig in the City is a welcome treat. "Turn Around" and "The Inchworm" sound a more nostalgic note, rounding out More Songs into a truly lovely collection. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews:

Love Pooh Corner!.......2006-11-28

We bought this for our four-year old daughter after we borrowed it from the library and fell in love with it. The lyrics are very soothing and it calms her down for bedtime. It's also great for background music for her playdates...less fighting over toys! I've always liked Kenny Loggins, but this is one of his best!

Not just for little babies.......2006-06-12

As a professional deejay, I purchased this album because a father wanted to dance to "Turn Around" at his daughter's wedding reception. I fell in love with it myself. My babies are grown but I gave the album to my oldest daughter several months before she got married. As the flute on the opening track invites you to "count all the bees in the hive, chase all the clouds from the sky ..." and each song relays the sentiment to my older children that I would like to say to them myself. This album makes a great wedding gift, baby shower gift, graduation gift or for any occasion that you would like to let your children know they are loved and you're there for them.

Beautifully Soothing Complement to Return To Pooh Corner.......2006-03-18

I wanted this CD because I really like the song "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" that Kenny Loggins co-wrote and sang for the Tigger Movie. The imagery is simply beautiful. As I listened to the rest of the CD, I found that I especially liked Mr. Loggins version of one of the most comforting lullaby's BABY MINE and the song he wrote with Mark Mancina that sends a child off into the world with love ALWAYS IN ALWAYS. It is quite soothing.

* This CD would be the "cool-down" after Return To Pooh Corner or a difficult day. Having lived with overtired two year olds before...
* It is a great nursery gift
* I could see giving this CD for the song Always in All Ways to the high school senior along with Dr. Seuss' Oh The Places You Will Go (in private of course! It is quite sentimental but alone in your room contemplating the amazing changes sentimental can be kind of nice) the night before he or she goes off to college.

To me this CD is a part of the first CD not meant to completely repeat Return To Pooh Corner, but to complement it.

Just as good as the first.......2005-12-06

In my opinion, this CD is just as good as "Return to Pooh Corner." It is the perfect CD for bedtime or just when you want some quiet time with your children. The songs are sweet and includes some "classics" from Beauty and the Beast and Willy Wonka which is nostalgic to me. My 4 year old daughter is LOVES the first song which sends a message about the value of family and friendship. Can't go wrong with this CD!

Great baby gift!.......2005-11-29

This album tops return to Pooh Corner. I love both of them! "Baby mine" is wonderful. "Turn around" will flat out put you in tears. Both albums make great baby shower gifts! I give them to all new parents I know. The songs are so soothing for a little one and so touching for the parents. I know it's been a while since they were released but they are just timeless. I have wonderful memories of bonding with each one of my kids to this cd.

Great Album.......2007-06-26

I am going through a battle with cancer and I found the music on this album so uplifting and calming - I recommend it to everyone , and especially anyone facing some hard times, this is a great Album.

A Truly Healing CD.......2007-06-19

My mother gave this CD to me, and being in my middle twenties the only experience I have had with Olivia Newton-John is from the movie/musical Grease. To be honest, I was little skeptical about the cheesiness of this CD, but let me say that Olivia blew me away. The mixture between eastern and western religions, as well as melodies, is refreshing. In some of the more eastern influenced songs, the sound of Olivia's voice is almost haunting in a beautiful way. I would highly recommend this CD to everyone from Olivia Newton-John fans to people seeking relaxation through music.

Livvy - still brilliant.......2007-06-12

I, like a lot of these other review-ers, have been an Olivia fan for many many years.. 33 to be exact.
i remember buying my first Livvy cassette - Totally Hot. I think it burnt out (sorry!) after a couple of hundred play sessions.

BUT, I had not heard of this particular album, until a couple of weeks ago. As soon as i did, i was straight onto the website for a listen..

I think it took about 3 minutes to find my c/card & order two copies. One for myself, and one for my "new-age" mother-in-law-to-be. Who, after only knowing Grease), is now a new fan.

It's a brilliant album. whatever your mood.
Thank God CD's should last longer than the old cassettes - cause this one is going to get a huge physical (sorry!) workout.....

Livvy sounds brilliant.

"........AND I THANK YOU!!!!"

GOD what an album !.......2007-06-06

This is one of her best albums in her almost 40 years of her career , nice music which relaxes ur mind , ur heart and soul ...the lyrics are wonderful...Olivia's voice is fantastic in this new age album.
she has proved that she can sing pop, rock ,country, and new age as well ...this album is a real Gaia !i actually bought two cds one for my car and the other one as a gift for my family ( wife and kids)...thanks for OLivia who is still giving us her best talent.

Grease and Gratitude.......2007-06-01

Dear O has rather found her form again in recent years. Her covers album, 'Indigo', which debuted in 2005, was her strongest release in 15 years and 2006's 'Stronger Than Before' was a return to her lovely mid-70's hey day. When Olivia decided to release a 'healing' album that tied in with her body, mind and spirit wellness products, I couldn't hide my lack of excitement. Fearing a reprise of her 1994 self-written and produced 'Gaia' CD, an album filled with clunky lyrics and syruppy melodies, I nearly didn't get this album...

Well, luckily I was hopelessly wrong. This album ranks as one of Olivia's best ever. Over the past 10 years or so, Olivia's voice has suffered a little, but this could have been recorded 25 years ago. It's beautiful.
There are no real standouts, it's all wonderful and totally works as a soothing 60 minute CD with no tracks you'll want to skip.

That at 58 years old Olivia can come up with something of this quality is an inspiration to us all. I've often written her off but have to eat my words here. If the album only had a decent release, some strong airplay, I honestly believe it could go through the roof. Well done, Olivia!

There's no better example of American pop culture's hall-of-mirrors ethos than producer Alan Carr's relentlessly buoyant 1978 film adaptation of the stage musical Grease. Inspired by that decade's rampant 50's nostalgia, it now paradoxically evokes the campy 70's excesses that spawned it. That sense of recycled decades in collision is underscored repeatedly on this deluxe, double-disc Grease-fest, especially on the set's second disc of bonus materials that spans vintage singles of the title track (its instrumental B-side) and "Greased Lightnin'," some sing-along karaoke tracks, and a handful of alternately slick/techo-savvy remixes (originally produced for the film's 20th anniversary) that are testament to its enduring, era-defying appeal. The original soundtrack itself has been treated to a stellar digital remastering that fills disc one, and remains a joyous monument to camp, sheer ambition, and exuberant nostalgic illusions. Includes a slip-cased, double-fold-out case and new booklet with complete song lyrics. --Jerry McCulley

You 're The One That I Want.......2007-04-03

The complete Grease experience. This cd is a two disc-set with disc one being the complete soundtrack, while disc two is all bonus material including the popular Grease Megamix. Fans of the movie would want to make this cd an essential part of their music collection.

Prepare to be transported to Summer Nights.......2006-03-26

Well here we are with a great piece of history.

This album has not only captured the spirit of the movie but the essence of a 1970's version of the 1950's. I have seen this play live and yes some things are different. Yet I grew up on the movie. I even find myself singing some of the songs now and then. Of course you will never see me singing "Look At Me, I'm Sandra Dee." However I do keep this in my car as great driving music. This album is not you can pick apart and say things like missing songs, in the wrong order etc. It sounds and feels just right. There will be many versions yet this one is the Grease - Deluxe Edition [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED] [SOUNDTRACK] gives you more information about each of the tracks allowing you to feel that you have inside information and to feel that you know more of what went into the making of each song.

Great Soundtrack & Fun Extras from an Enduring Musical........2004-07-06

I'm enjoying listening to this great soundtrack that I loved as a child after a long hiatus. I had it on 8-track 25 years ago. So it's fitting that I should get the 25th Anniversary Edition on CD. The 24 songs from the movie are just as everyone remembers them, so I'll talk about the Bonus Disc, which contains 10 alternative versions of the songs plus 2 previously unreleased instrumentals from the film.

Track 1 on the Bonus Disc is an instrumental version of the film's theme, "Grease", written and produced by Barry Gibb. Frankie Valli's voice has been replaced by a saxophone. The chorus is vocal, but the voices are not those in the original song. You could use this as a sing-along version, as it would be easy to sing over the sax. Tracks 2-5 are officially sing-along versions. "Summer Nights" includes the chorus vocals from the film and sounds good. "You're the One That I Want" has new chorus vocals of questionable merit. "Sandy" is a new arrangement. It's not as good as the film version, but you can sing along. Track 6 is the single version of "Greased Lightning" that you may have heard on the radio back in the day. It's differs from the original in that the bad words have been replaced for radio airplay. Tracks 7-8 are previously unreleased instrumentals from the film. "Greased Up and Ready to Go" is lively. Tracks 9-10 are mixes that I occasionally hear on the radio. The "Grease Megamix" and the "Grease Dream Mix" are fun, if awkward. Tracks 11-12 are Martian Remixes of "Summer Nights" and "You're the One That I Want". They retain the original vocals, but set them to a Latin rhythm. They make pretty good dance tracks.

This 2-disc set isn't in a jewel case. The case is paperboard with 4 panels that fold out. This is inside of a clear vinyl slip case on which the tracks are written. This isn't convenient packaging. On the bright side, the case won't crack in the mail. Tucked inside one of the panels is a booklet that contains lyrics and credits.

The "Grease: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition" is a terrifically fun soundtrack to one of the all-time great movie musicals. And for all those preteen girls who go wild over the movie with each new generation, the bonus material is perfect for parties and horsing around.

If You Love Grease, You'll Love This - Only 1 Major Flaw.......2004-05-15

Disc 1 is like the original album, which I also own. 1 major flaw is that "Love Is A Many Splendored Thing" cuts off at the very end of it! I was upset by this, hence the 3 stars instead of 4. Disc 2 is a lot of fun w/some remixes and sing-a-longs, all in all, I'm pretty happy with it being that I'm a HUGE Grease fan. If you like Grease, you'll love this, it's fun. Too bad when they "remastered" it, they didn't catch there 1 mistake. Oh well, at least I have it on another album.

Customer Reviews:

this one has it all.......2007-04-16

This release from ONJ is probably my favorite album of hers. It has a variety of styles that flow together nicely from track to track.

I first got this album to get the song "Dancin' Round and Round," one of her all time best songs. It would be her last country hit for a number of years. My other favorite on here is "Totally Hot," such a fun single that always makes me feel good.

Her two big pop hits from this set, "A Little More Love" and "Deeper Than the Night," are good, also scraping the bottom of the country charts. There are some gems on here that should have been put out as singles I believe. Namely the self-penned country tune "Borrowed Time," this would have been a huge hit if it had been releasd to country radio. This song just gets me every time I hear it. Not just her voice, but the words, what the song says...it has brought me to tears many times.

Another "lost" country hit to me was "Never Enough."

"Please Don't Keep Me Waiting," the album's opener, is a disco-ish song with some cool effects and a good beat. The closer, "Gimmie Some Lovin," allows Olivia to cut loose and rock out. This is my favorite version of this song.

The album was a big hit on it's original release as well, going platinum and hitting #4 on the country charts and #7 on the pop charts.

If there was only one album in ONJ's catalog outside of a hits collection to own, this is it!

ONJ at her best.......2006-11-30

Wow, what a trip back in time! As I listen to this album, I am immediately transported back to my brother's car, listening to Olivia scream like a banshee on "Please don't keep me waiting". Certainly, the cover art, along with the release of "Grease" earlier that same year (1978), made an impression on my 13-year old mind - but now that I'm a mellower, 41 year old, I still am astounded by the quality of this album. Great music, track after track. My personal favorites are "Please don't keep me waiting", "Borrowed Time", "Dancing round and round", and "Boats against the Current". As for "Boats", Eric Carmen should be very pleased with the fine treatment that Olivia gave this beautiful song of his. Sadly, as of my writing this in Nov, 2006, the CD is STILL ONLY AVAILABLE AS AN IMPORT - what a miscarriage of justice! Anyway, it's worth the effort to secure a copy - thanks to Amazon for making it available.

Totally hot ... indeed.......2005-10-09

There is something special about this album. It still sounds great some 27 years later. Hot on the tail end of Grease, Olivia delivered this fine album in late 1978 with several songs penned by her trustworthy Aussie friend and songwriter John Farrar. John had already written tonnes of songs for Olivia over the years, and with this album he continued to shine.

The album begins on a high with the stunning "Please don't keep me waiting", before switching to a country feel with "Dancing round and round". The brilliant "A little more love" can be found on this album, as can the very catchy "Deeper than the night". The album also includes possibly John Farrar's best song ever with "Never Enough" - a gorgeous ballad that continues to send shivers up my spine all these years later.

The album contains two covers - the first is Eric Carmen's "Boat's against the current" which Olivia performs beautifully. The next (and final track) is a cover of Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme some lovin'". This version is probably the album's weakest song ... although it is still acceptable. It is just not suited to her vocals, but this is only a minor complaint.

Overall, Totally Hot is a fine album - red hot in fact. Don't be put off by the silly title (which does sound dated and cheesy I know), you will not be disappointed by this album. It can be difficult to purchase overseas, so consider buying from Australia where it is quite easy to source.

Totally Hot - Still Hot After All These Years.......2005-09-25

I was so excited to see the release of Totally Hot on CD! My lp is bascially worn out from all the play it got back in the day.

Totally Hot was Olivia's follow-up album to the Grease Sountrack and the predecessor to the enormously successful Physical. The cover art and insert were gorgeous pictures of Olivia with a great black leather jacket and pants and cowboy boots. She looks amazing.

The songs on this album really take Olivia's voice into orbit. She totally lets loose on the title track as well as Please Don't keep Me Watiting, where she hits some notes that are just crazy.

Other songs like Boats Against the Current, Deeper Than The Night and Gimme Some Lovin and very well produced and have some great orchestrations to frame Olivia's voice.

But the stand-out song for me is A Little More Love. The vocals are simply angelic and the refrains of the chorus are fabulous.

I've heard some people say that Olivia's voice is the work of great studio engineers and sound technicians. Nothing could be further from the truth! I've seen Olivia live in concert and everything you hear on her albums is what you hear live in all its glory.

I absolutely love this albuma nd highly recommend it! Many of the songs from this album are also availble on her Greatest Hits Vol 2. and Back to Basics CD's.

Music holds up throughthe years........2005-08-28

Unlike the first review naming disco as a large influence for Olivia's breakthrough album, I'd have to say it largely Rock influenced, especially evident on the opening and closing tracks, "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting" and "Gimme Some Lovin'". Both grip you immediately and squeeze your soul with the rythm and screams of Newton-John's fiery-sweet voice.

"A Little More Love" and "Talk to Me" continue the sultry rock sounds in a svelte sexy manner. The former of which was one of Olivia's biggest solo hits.

The ballads are stand outs on this 1979 lp. "Borrowed Time" coos the resignation of a scorned lover while "Boats against The Current" clearly gives in to love's indifference. "Dancing Round and Round" and "Never Enough" claim hopeful desires to move on despite the hurt from a broken heart.

Finally, the title track. A completely different sound from an era wrought with similar beats and fabricated emotion. This is the real thing. Olivia cries out loud, admits her guilt of desire and wants more! Wow!

"Totally Hot" may sound 'dated', but is anything but!

This is a wonderful Cd of music with talented singers. It is going to a wonderful organization for children fighting disease. A "must get" for any music lover of childrens movie titled songs.

well done.......2007-01-10

This is one of the better Disney albums....The Tony Bennett "Bare Necessities" and the Streisand "Someday My Prince Will Come" make it worth it, but the Kenny Loggins "Your Heart Will Lead You Home" is wonderful too.

SUPER!!!.......2006-07-06

Wishes was not only what I was looking for but even better, Great for a disney song collectot.

The Rescuers remains neglected!.......2006-01-20

One of the most fit songs to appear in this CD comes from Disney's 1977 feature, The Rescuers, and that was Someone's Waiting for You, which's original recording was beautifully performed by Shelby Flint, but why isn't in here? Once again, I wonder why the film's been neglected from appearing in any music CD ever.

I didn't like the new renditions.......2005-12-20

Others may prefer that this isn't just a 'greatest hits' album from Disney and has new folks singing the old songs, but to my ear they just didn't have the charm of the originals and not what I want to listen to.

Wonderful, as always.......2007-03-09

I have twin girls, now almost 12. Catherine Grace and Olivia Joy listened to this CD every night for the first year of their life--and have seen many, many of Liv's concerts. They own two of Liv's earrings (Olivia herself has one set; we have the other sets). Nothing like getting a cell call from her secretary or an honor or letters or a call during church choir. Hooray!

Not Just a Kid's Album.......2006-03-27

I've been waiting for a long time to hear Olivia sing some classic standards and she does it with such grace and artistry. Her rendition of YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE is one of the best I've ever heard. Heartfelt and sincere. WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR has never sounded better. This is a gorgeous CD with lush arrangements and Olivia has never sounded better.

Warm, Tender, and truly beautiful........2005-08-25

With her flawless, crystal clear voice full of emotion Olivia delivers one of her most beautiful, though under-rated, projects of her stellar career. Stunningly arranged, orchestrated, and sung this album presents timeless standards such as The Way You Look Tonight, Twelfth of Never, and an exquisite version of Over the Rainbow. Though intended to be a "lullaby" album, which it completely succeeds at being, one wishes Olivia would have dropped such songs as the child friendly Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for more pop classics. Other stand-out selections are You'll Never Walk Alone, Jenny Rebecca, When You Wish Upon a Star, and the adult contemporary Reach Out For Me. Olivia closes the set with just a tease of the Brahms Lullaby which will make you take a deep breath, close your eyes and wish for more, more, more...a lovely, stunning collection of songs sung by a truly great singer.

Tender and Top-Notch!.......2005-08-18

I've loved Olivia's voice since grade school. She shines on this album. Singing many children's favorites and old standards, her voice is smooth, silky, and soothing throughout. This is a perfect nocturnal selection, and it's a superb and thoughtful choice for any mother-to-be or new mother.

Sweet and Wonderful.......2005-08-04

I have always been a huge sucker for a relaxing lullaby, as well as uplifting childrens music. While I don't have any children of my own yet, I enjoy providing care for little ones at my church and this is a CD that I would definitely keep in the nursery. The first song - Jenny Rebecca - was the only one that I was not fond of. Being a fan of Olivia Newton John's performance in "Grease" it was interesting and wonderful to hear her voice in such a "Warm and Tender" environment.
