She was sewn into that outfit. She said in an interview that the reactions your seeing from the cast are the actors’ legit reaction to seeing her in that outfit for the first time. (They kept the outfit secret.)
Didn't know that,cool to know. I was born in 75 and trust me.,I thought she was so beautiful. Some people criticize the movie she was in,Xanadu,but I loved that one too. What a beautiful story,her a muse,come to inspire the artist. So magical. Which by the way,magic is my favorite song by her. I'd play it sometimes while cruising with friends. I didn't care if they thought I was weird. I'd say you're weird if you don't like that song
That was fun but the "Hand Jive" school dance scene is even more fun! Everybody trying to outdance each other & Travolta outdancing them all! Let's watch that together!💙
I Loved That Movie (Grease 1978) I Watched That Movie so many Times I can't Remember, The Same for Saturday Night Fever 1979, & I still Love The 2 Movies today lisen to Them fr. Time to Time & The Soudtracks on a on going bases and as far as all The Oldies I will Never Stop Spinning The Oldies Music fr. 1960 to 1985.
Hey it's the 77 year old grandma, well since I graduated high school in June 1961, I was around for the time setting of this movie. There was a very strict dress code Girls could not wear long pants of any kind to school, only dresses or skirts. Boys had to wear slacks to school no jeans. Only the bad boys lol wore jeans, and there were no girls jeans, if we wanted to wear jeans we had to by boys jeans. can't remember when the fashion world decided to make girls jeans. But we were glad when they did. The movie stayed pretty close to how things were in those days. But the movie that really shows the life style of older teens and young adults in that era is American Graffiti. I remember driving the strip every week end I lived in California so our strip was East 14th street and it stretched from Oakland California, all the way to Hayward California. Wow do I have some awesome memories of those days.
I’m a bit younger than you (55) but I remember the late 70’s/early 80’s when Lee came out with “Lee for Girls” with the powder blue stitching. “Cut for a woman”. I somehow ended up with a pair which was odd because my parents didn’t give in to pressure to buy new styles - I was just lucky at the time :)
Ok, the white socks and black shoes question, here is what "I" think. The movie is set in the fifties, I was born in '57 so I ask my Dad (he was 27 yrs old) he said he didn't wear sandals or shorts, most men didn't. That was the cultural norm for that time and place. He made 90 yrs old recently. Love him so much ❤️💙. I could go on but my mind has shifted away from the song to memories of the Special relationship between me and my Dad. I'm so thankful
I remember when this movie was first released, I was 11 yrs old. My older cousin & I took the bus to the theater for the first showing that day. We watched it 3 times in a row before we ran out of money for any more tickets. Plus we had to catch the bus to be back home in time for dinner. :-) My oldest daughter's first experience watching this classic movie was on VHS tape. For the movie's 20th anniversary re-release, I took her to the theater. She happened to be 11 yrs old, just like my 1st theater experience. 2018 marked the 40th anniversary & again we went to the theater, this time with my youngest daughter. She was just a bit past her 12th b-day when she saw it (close enough). I didn't plan that at all, it just happened to work out that way. :-)
JT sang this...and he's an awesome human being. Period. In the early 80's he flew into my small town and while his plane was getting a repair, he took several people that worked the airfield out to lunch. They said he was very down to earth and a gentleman. And he still is. Let's not forget about Olivia...Wow! just Wow
My mom and dad LOVED this movie, especially since they both said it was proper legit the way they grew up. Mom was more straight-laced, and Dad was a literal greaser, like John Travolta portrayed in this movie. He stood on street corners with his friends and sang do-wop. You've got to see this movie ... it's a great view at what the '50s was really like (at least the '50s in New York/New Jersey where they were).
This is one of my top 10 movie musicals of all time! I love this movie! I watched it just just the other night for millionth time! The chemistry between these two was off the charts! ❤️❤️
… I was 9 years old when I saw this movie in ‘78 @ the drive-in. … sittin’ on the hood of my father’s wood panel station wagon with my brother and sister watchin’ this film and lovin’ it! … beautiful and talented Olivia, … may she Rest In Peace. 🕊
That bass riff by David Hungate of TOTO (yes, that Toto) is iconic. The most important line in this song (and the whole movie) is, "You better shape-up 'cuz you better prove that my faith is justified." She changes for HIM with the expectation that he ALSO changes from who HE is, that he is more emotionally expressive and respectful to her because she NEEDS that and throughout the movie he's been completely lacking to "look cool". They both needed to change to be together, and here, she makes the first, bold step. Love here is conditional. They come together again in the next movie "Two of a Kind" with the song Twist of Fate.
Your comment: "This movie is so iconic, so good..." - I totally agree! My mother was an actress/director, so I saw a LOT of musical & regular theatre. When the movie version came out my junior year of HS (1978) and my speech teacher asked me what my favorite 1970's movie was, I replied "Grease". He gave me shit about it being derivative - I was just speechless at his ignorance. I think it's obvious I won that argument in the long run.
Thanks for the smile.. saw this movie when it came out in 1978 while on vacation.. brings back great memories! RIP Kelly Preston... so many years and miles since these guys made this.
It just makes you smile that’s it those of us that have the memory of it I actually got to see it in the movie theater I’ve seen it 1 million times it doesn’t matter it just makes me smile
Olivia and John were so beautiful! My favorite Olivia song you should check out would be "A Little More Love" or "Come on Over", which was written by Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees
I remember waiting to hear "A Little More Love" for the first time on the radio, DJ kept saying it was coming up soon. I had seen Grease several times that summer so couldn't wait to hear her NEW song. It did not disappoint! And I ended up being late for my class--totally worth it! :)
It’s 4pm Sunday afternoon here in Australia and I’ve just gotten home from work to the perfect song. Thank you! Take care of yourself. Also, I think it’s time you watched the movie again!
Fun Fact - they came together to sing this for the Grease reunion. You should watch that. They still both can sing to high heaven and dance. They're such good friends.
@@IONATVS Not a problem, just a clarification as ELO wrote and performed it with her singing. Most of her work solo and her songs in the film and the songs added to Grease for her were all written by her partner in crime whom I feel bad about firgettingbhis name right now.
I was 10 my cousin 11 we would sit in her basement for hours with this album singing and giggling. It was at least 3 more years before I saw the movie 1982 when VHS became available at my house and made the memories with my cousin even better. That and the hours we spent playing Barbies..... Thanks for stroll down memory lane.
Olivia Newton John was one of my favorites long before she starred in Grease. She has such a melodic ethereal voice. she's had a long career, starting in the country music genre before crossing over to pop. She's had chart topping hits from the early 70's on. To give ya an idea how big of a star she was, her FIRST greatest hits album came out in 1978... SEVENTY EIGHT! The same year this song & movie came out, which launched her into super stardom. I know you know or have at least heard some of her songs before. Her earliest hits, before Grease include: Let Me Be There, If You Love Me, Please Mr. Please, I Honestly Love You, Have You Ever Been Mellow... Seriously, this list goes on & on - it's definitely another rabbit hole for you to explore because there are just so many great songs. :-)
Olivia Newton John from the first time I saw this movie to this day is the most beautiful and sexy woman i've ever seen in a movie at this point in her black outfit . I don't care if they sewn, blow torched, or glued it on! John's reaction was probably not acted...LOL! My reaction is still the same at this point... Incredible! Thanks for pulling this gem up!
Jamel- you've seen this- you gotta see "Saturday Night FEVER!" With John Travolta! Talk about dancing! Growing up with his buddies in New York and going to the clubs- fantastic soundtrack to the movie as well- Tons of Bee Gee's songs! That movie caterpolted him to a whole other level back in the day! "Urban Cowboy" with him is top of my list as well! Both movies dancing, (totally different style of dances, really showcasing his versatility in dancing and acting as well- completely different characters he played in each..and sooo well done- great music and storylines- a bit of everything! ❤️🤘🏼✌🏼
Kimberlini Bambini I saw all three of those movies over and over in the theatre. I can’t think of one movie I’d watch twice now. I know I saw Grease at least five times because the music was so good.
I actually like Travolta's dancing in the sequel to Saturday night fever. I forget the name of it. He had a wonderful dance partner in that and the dancing was more intense. Actually, he had two dance partners in the sequel. Both ladies were wonderful. One of them was in the movie Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze.
Paul Pelosi why yes I was- thank you for the correction- if autoINcorrect (yes I’m spelling it that way cause that’s what happens with it for me..more times than not) doesn’t get me... I got myself this time- 🤦🏼♀️ I shall be more careful 💁🏼♀️
What am I doing? Sitting at home, chilling, watching Live PD and watching your reaction videos. 👍🏻😉💜 That was a great blast from the past and yes! Footloose!!
They had the sing along version in the theaters a couple years ago and it was so much fun! I've seen this movie so many times I can recite it back and front but in a full theater being able to sing with everyone else was just so much fun I can't even tell you.
My cousin Billy took me to see this in 1978 at the Devon Movie House and I was in my glory. It was a great day. John Travolta is a great dancer. He can move.
Jamel.... From one of the highest grossing & best movie musicals of all time, this is definitely one of the most memorable songs EVER!!! I can remember that whenever I saw this in the theatres, it was THIS song as well as “Greased Lightning” that had the audiences up & dancing in their seats 🤘😉👌 Olivia has long been regarded as “Australia’s sweetheart” & she has had some health battles in recent years (breast cancer) but I’m happy to report that she is still very much “alive & kicking” & in great health now. Other great songs in this iconic movie include “Summer Nights”, “Beauty School Dropout”, “Hopelessly devoted to You” & of course, John’s performance of “Sandy”, from the moment just after Danny & Sandy broke up ☝️😎 Thanks for the uplifting video brother 🌅✊️😉👍🌅
Susan Prator .... I know the feeling!!! I lost count of how many times I’ve watched it over the years as I was around 9 or 10 when this 1st came out ✋️😎
Actually you should check out John Farnham's You're the Voice from the Fire Fight Australia concert earlier this year. Olivia is in that clip as is Brian may of Queen. Well worth checking out the Queen performance from that too which is great as was Delta Goodrem and the Hilltop Hoods.
Alpha Omega .... As an Aussie myself, I can certainly vouch for pretty much ANY video or performance of John’s & his original video for “You’re the Voice” is a classic & it’s even better live. When he “cuts” the band & gets the audience to sing along to the chorus, it can literally send chills down your spine. When the bagpipes play, it’s “something else” altogether. Bagpipes don’t often work in pop music but “You’re the Voice” & of course the AC/DC classic “It’s a long way to the top (if ya wanna rock & roll” are 2 VERY noticeable exceptions to that theory ✊️😎👍 That whole firefight Australia concert earlier this year was brilliant but unfortunately I couldn’t go because I couldn’t get a ticket (😱😱😱) & even worse.... I had to work that day (😖😖😖). The performance of Adam Lambert & Queen was outstanding ✅✅✅
@@gerardroll6468 Yeah I live near Homebush but do Carers so I couldn't go either. Firefight was class from the tv coverage. Another thing some people don't know but I am sure you do is that John Farnham was the lead singer of the Little River Band for a time and "Playing to Win" is an absolute classic.
Olivia Newton-John hits NOT from "Grease"-- "If You Love Me, Let Me Know" "Please, Mr., Please" "A Little More Love" "Magic" "Suddenly" (with Cliff Richard) "Xanadu" (with E.L.O.) "Physical" "Heart Attack" "Twist Of Fate"
Let Me Be There I Honestly Love You Have You Never Been Mellow If Not For You Make A Move On Me She's one of the most legit female pop stars of all-time. Part of the reason Producers Allan Carr and Robert Stigwood wanted her so badly for Grease was because of the gravitas her pop star status would give the film, whose cast was made up of a couple actors who could sing decently (Travolta and Conaway), and the rest with no singing or dancing experience. I think Stockard Channing was probably a pleasant surprise from a vocal standpoint, but ONJ with her piles of gold and platinum records immediately gave the film credibility as a musical.
That was an absolute classic. Somewhat obscure fact one of the brides (Dorcas) is a young Julie Newmar well before the days of Batman 66 and her in the Catwoman catsuit which is strangely a lot like ONJ's outfit in this clip
@@gwengirtman1239 - czcams.com/video/-Rd4NQ4ei_I/video.html If you watch the June Bride sequence it's easy to see how much taller Julie is than the other girls. The youngest brother Gideon is Russ Tamblyn who plays Riff in West Side Story and Nancy Kilgas the girl who plays Alice the youngest Bride also does some memorable dance sequences in Oklahoma
Also, the youngest brother (Gideon) is also Riff, leader of the Jets, in the Natalie Wood West Side Story. His name is Russ Tamblyn and he's still working.
One of my favourite movies and soundtracks! I was 7 years old when i bought a cassette with the music from ”Grease”, i loved it instantly and still does. Went too see the ”Grease” musical here in my town just before the pandemic started. I think the movie is great, not a dull scene. Every sequence is good. The energy is 100 %. The actors Said in an interwiev That they had a faboulus summer together and that the whole shooting of the movie was magical, and you can tell! The magic goes through the screen! Thank you for your reaction, good as always, lovely!😘
Black pants, shoes and white sox are a great way to show off your fancy footwork on stage. Best illustrated by Michael Jackson's Moon Walk. Mesmerizing.
@20sentryboy You know, that girl that got embarrassed on stage by Kanye that one time while accepting a VMA award. That incident made me pretty happy, actually, because I couldn't think of two people in pop music I disliked more. They deserved each other.
I love your channel. Thank you for playing and bringing back the great music of yesterday. I am only 40 and it's all I listen to. Grew up on it and miss it so much. Thank You
What I am doing at 3:15 AM on a Sunday morning? Trying to sleep but then this pops up on my phone and I just have to watch it! :) Love all your content. And I really should do this on Instragram but: Try anything by Týr or Hamferð. And HMU if you need help with some of their lyrics :)
This was a bittersweet movie for me...I was hopelessly in love with Olivia before the movie..and crushed when she went from "I honestly love you" before movie to "Physical" after the movie...she left me behind somehow *sob*
I am a huge ONJ fan, and this came out when I was a kid. She was my first "star-crush". I would love to see you react to my favorite song of hers, with Electric Light Orchestra, the finale of her huge box office dud (but huge selling soundtrack album) "Xanadu". The specific clip has her castmates, the legendary movie musical leading man and director Gene Kelly, and her love interest, Michael Beck (from the 70's cult film 'The Warriors'). She plays a goddess (one of the nine muses who inspire artists) who falls in love with a mortal man in Venice, California in 1980. The movie is fun (but kinda dumb), but the music all by Olivia Newton-John and the Electric Light Orchestra (with a small appearance by The Tubes). The song link...if interested...you rock, dude!!! czcams.com/video/kej_Ghu34uY/video.html
It's funny, those two movies made me so proud to have already been a huge ONJ fan. Years before, I used to stack 5 LP's of hers every night to fall asleep to. I always preferred Sandra Dee to Sandy, because of those roots. Cheers buddy!
@@McKavian I was like 9 or 10 when I first saw Xanadu. She was, to me, the ideal female if I were to have stereotyped her at the time. Still brings back fond memories of childhood to see these movies.
Also featured Cliff Richard (on "Suddenly") & Gene Kelly (on "Whenever You're Away From Me") & let's not forget the great John Farrar, who wrote most of Olivia's songs.
I used to rock the black shoes with white socks in high school! That was the look! Thank you for reacting to this song, so much fun! I remember going to see Grease at the drive-thru as a kid! I fell in love with ‘ONJ’!❤️ Such an iconic song and dance number!
Thank you for that reaction! That song and movie brings back a lot of memories! The movie was in the theaters in 1978. I was 17 and my friends and I went to see Grease 5 times, we loved it so much! You had to be 17 for movies like this, back then. Thanks again, for the flashback!
Like you said, Grease is an iconic musical. I was 18 years old when this movie came out back in 1978. To this day it is my favorite movie musical ever. I enjoyed your perspective.
Now I remember this movie well!! It was filmed at my high school. Venice High in Los Angeles! I was a sophomore and I watched them film a lot of it. Since I lived on Zanja st. directly behind the school, we had to move our cars and the production co. replaced them with '50's ones. When they were singing the early song where he was with his cronies in the football stand bleachers and Olivia was singing her part at the outdoor cafeteria tables she got quite upset when she had to keep falling over one of the tables until the Director liked it!! They wanted extras too for $50. I said no because I didn't want to cut my hair short, LOL

@@darlanilsen879 Eve Arden. She was great!
TheMerryPup With her side kick Blanche lol
Hahahahaha
I CAN REMEMBER THIS HUGE 70s Classic THE 70s were FAAAAAANTASTIC ,,,
She was sewn into that outfit. She said in an interview that the reactions your seeing from the cast are the actors’ legit reaction to seeing her in that outfit for the first time. (They kept the outfit secret.)
And watch Travolta's eyes as he follows her up the stairs. His eyes are glued to her booty. Can't blame him, she is VERY easy on the eyes.
Couldn’t take it off to use the restroom either lol. All the girls wanted it after this song was done.
@@tschriv yes indeed and it was the hottest day of the filming to boot
Didn't know that,cool to know. I was born in 75 and trust me.,I thought she was so beautiful. Some people criticize the movie she was in,Xanadu,but I loved that one too. What a beautiful story,her a muse,come to inspire the artist. So magical. Which by the way,magic is my favorite song by her. I'd play it sometimes while cruising with friends. I didn't care if they thought I was weird. I'd say you're weird if you don't like that song
I Thought it was painted on....lol
The school dance scene with "born to hand jive" is f'n epic
I love the car scene
Yes I love hand jive!
Clayton Thomas That's the best scene in the movie. I don't like the rest of the movie that much though.
That was fun but the "Hand Jive" school dance scene is even more fun! Everybody trying to outdance each other & Travolta outdancing them all! Let's watch that together!💙
I can still do that hand jive, LOL
I Loved That Movie (Grease 1978) I Watched That Movie so many Times I can't Remember, The Same for Saturday Night Fever 1979, & I still Love The 2 Movies today lisen to Them fr. Time to Time & The Soudtracks on a on going bases and as far as all The Oldies I will Never Stop Spinning The Oldies Music fr. 1960 to 1985.
Saw Olivia in an interview just about a month ago: She can STILL fit into that outfit!
She said she had to be sewn into the outfit every day they shot this scene.
@@dawnwilloughby249 Lucky for the seamstress Olivia didn't have much of an ass! NOT how I remember it. LMAO.
Sadly she has had her cancer come back again.
I saw that and was shocked!
She's been through hell and back, and she still looks amazing!
"John can dance." That's an understatement if you've ever watched Saturday Night Fever
I never saw the movie. We went on a cruise and they performed it as a play on the ship. I guess I should watch John travolta’s movie version.

I've watched this movie no less than 40 times. I sing along with every song in it. They're all great!
"Hopelessly devoted to you" is my favorite from this movie.
Mine too
Best song in that movie
I gotta go with "Summer Nights" or is it "Summer Lovin'"...It's the first song (they both are singing to their friends).

It sure is we had to sing it in school didn't realize how dirty it was til all the words were bleeped out lmao
OMG WHEN I FINALLY "LISTENED" I BLUSHED
Now I gotta go back lol
Right, I got embarrassed when my 7 yr old grand girl watched it with me the other day. I was uhoh, I forgot about that part.
When you hear a unedited version. Lol

"There Are Worse Things I Could Do" is probably the most emotional and deepest songs in that movie. That would be a good one for you to do.

They come together again in the next movie "Two of a Kind" with the song Twist of Fate.

This movie single handedly brought back 50's fashion (for about 5 minutes!) in the late '70's in the small town I lived in! What great memories!
It just makes you smile that’s it those of us that have the memory of it I actually got to see it in the movie theater I’ve seen it 1 million times it doesn’t matter it just makes me smile
Always loved that outfit she is wearing! Great movie!
SATURDAY NIGHY FEAVER 1977 GREASE 1978 WOOOOW THEM 70S BABY,,, AND JOHN TRAVOLTA KICKED ASS BIG TIME
13 years old in 1978, saw this movie for the first time at a drive-in. Man, those were the days!
Had such a crush on Olivia. I think I always will. 💕
Right there with you Ronnie.
About 44 years and counting for me 😍
Yup. ONJ and Donna Summer for me.
I’ve seen this movie a thousand times and could watch a thousand more! Could probably recite each line word for word. Lol! One of my favorites!!
Geez. So many seared memories about what a smoke show she was.
It's worth watching over and over again!
Olivia and John were so beautiful! My favorite Olivia song you should check out would be "A Little More Love" or "Come on Over", which was written by Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees

I'm just chilling ,thrilling ,killing time with everyone on here....thanks for all you do
It’s 4pm Sunday afternoon here in Australia and I’ve just gotten home from work to the perfect song. Thank you! Take care of yourself. Also, I think it’s time you watched the movie again!

A Great Pair to PreForm Together...John & Olivia...The Best !!!
“If Not For You”, “If You Love Me, Let Me Know”, “Please Mr. Please (Don’t Play B17)”, “Xanadu”, are some other great ones by Olivia Newton John
Though Xanadu is ONJ singing with ELO.
@@johncampbell756 Correct, the best KIND of correct. That and I really liked Twist of Fate from the movie "Two of a Kind"

Thanks for stroll down memory lane.
Listen to this song has given me cold chills in my legs and almost brought tears to my eyes to remember how great life is
This role was absolutely made for John Travolta. Nailed it. 😎😊
I love it man, every time I hear this song it makes me smile.
They had to sew her into that outfit
Yes they did 😄
Only into the pants
Sure did
Yes indeed. 👍😊
Olivia Newton John was one of my favorites long before she starred in Grease. She has such a melodic ethereal voice. she's had a long career, starting in the country music genre before crossing over to pop. She's had chart topping hits from the early 70's on. To give ya an idea how big of a star she was, her FIRST greatest hits album came out in 1978... SEVENTY EIGHT! The same year this song & movie came out, which launched her into super stardom. I know you know or have at least heard some of her songs before. Her earliest hits, before Grease include: Let Me Be There, If You Love Me, Please Mr. Please, I Honestly Love You, Have You Ever Been Mellow... Seriously, this list goes on & on - it's definitely another rabbit hole for you to explore because there are just so many great songs. :-)
Olivia Newton John from the first time I saw this movie to this day is the most beautiful and sexy woman i've ever seen in a movie at this point in her black outfit . I don't care if they sewn, blow torched, or glued it on! John's reaction was probably not acted...LOL! My reaction is still the same at this point... Incredible! Thanks for pulling this gem up!
Jamel- you've seen this- you gotta see "Saturday Night FEVER!" With John Travolta! Talk about dancing! Growing up with his buddies in New York and going to the clubs- fantastic soundtrack to the movie as well- Tons of Bee Gee's songs! That movie caterpolted him to a whole other level back in the day! "Urban Cowboy" with him is top of my list as well! Both movies dancing, (totally different style of dances, really showcasing his versatility in dancing and acting as well- completely different characters he played in each..and sooo well done- great music and storylines- a bit of everything! ❤️🤘🏼✌🏼
Kimberlini Bambini I saw all three of those movies over and over in the theatre. I can’t think of one movie I’d watch twice now. I know I saw Grease at least five times because the music was so good.
Are you trying to say catapulted?
I actually like Travolta's dancing in the sequel to Saturday night fever. I forget the name of it. He had a wonderful dance partner in that and the dancing was more intense. Actually, he had two dance partners in the sequel. Both ladies were wonderful. One of them was in the movie Dirty Dancing with Patrick Swayze.
Paul Pelosi why yes I was- thank you for the correction- if autoINcorrect (yes I’m spelling it that way cause that’s what happens with it for me..more times than not) doesn’t get me... I got myself this time- 🤦🏼♀️ I shall be more careful 💁🏼♀️
LindyTN The sequel was called “Stayin’ Alive.” Imagine that-😉🙃✌️
What am I doing? Sitting at home, chilling, watching Live PD and watching your reaction videos. 👍🏻😉💜
That was a great blast from the past and yes! Footloose!!
Me too... watching Drugs Inc.🙂
They had the sing along version in the theaters a couple years ago and it was so much fun! I've seen this movie so many times I can recite it back and front but in a full theater being able to sing with everyone else was just so much fun I can't even tell you.
My cousin Billy took me to see this in 1978 at the Devon Movie House and I was in my glory. It was a great day. John Travolta is a great dancer. He can move.
Jamel.... From one of the highest grossing & best movie musicals of all time, this is definitely one of the most memorable songs EVER!!! I can remember that whenever I saw this in the theatres, it was THIS song as well as “Greased Lightning” that had the audiences up & dancing in their seats 🤘😉👌 Olivia has long been regarded as “Australia’s sweetheart” & she has had some health battles in recent years (breast cancer) but I’m happy to report that she is still very much “alive & kicking” & in great health now. Other great songs in this iconic movie include “Summer Nights”, “Beauty School Dropout”, “Hopelessly devoted to You” & of course, John’s performance of “Sandy”, from the moment just after Danny & Sandy broke up ☝️😎 Thanks for the uplifting video brother 🌅✊️😉👍🌅
Saw it a zillion times w/my daughter who is now 47...lol.....when she was 7or 8...
Susan Prator .... I know the feeling!!! I lost count of how many times I’ve watched it over the years as I was around 9 or 10 when this 1st came out ✋️😎
Actually you should check out John Farnham's You're the Voice from the Fire Fight Australia concert earlier this year. Olivia is in that clip as is Brian may of Queen. Well worth checking out the Queen performance from that too which is great as was Delta Goodrem and the Hilltop Hoods.
Alpha Omega .... As an Aussie myself, I can certainly vouch for pretty much ANY video or performance of John’s & his original video for “You’re the Voice” is a classic & it’s even better live. When he “cuts” the band & gets the audience to sing along to the chorus, it can literally send chills down your spine. When the bagpipes play, it’s “something else” altogether. Bagpipes don’t often work in pop music but “You’re the Voice” & of course the AC/DC classic “It’s a long way to the top (if ya wanna rock & roll” are 2 VERY noticeable exceptions to that theory ✊️😎👍 That whole firefight Australia concert earlier this year was brilliant but unfortunately I couldn’t go because I couldn’t get a ticket (😱😱😱) & even worse.... I had to work that day (😖😖😖). The performance of Adam Lambert & Queen was outstanding ✅✅✅
@@gerardroll6468 Yeah I live near Homebush but do Carers so I couldn't go either. Firefight was class from the tv coverage. Another thing some people don't know but I am sure you do is that John Farnham was the lead singer of the Little River Band for a time and "Playing to Win" is an absolute classic.

She's one of the most legit female pop stars of all-time. Part of the reason Producers Allan Carr and Robert Stigwood wanted her so badly for Grease was because of the gravitas her pop star status would give the film, whose cast was made up of a couple actors who could sing decently (Travolta and Conaway), and the rest with no singing or dancing experience. I think Stockard Channing was probably a pleasant surprise from a vocal standpoint, but ONJ with her piles of gold and platinum records immediately gave the film credibility as a musical.
Yes! Watch it over and over again. Young love at it’s best!
Dude... this is like sitting in a room enjoying some of my favorite music with a close friend... great job.
All I know is Olivia looked hot in that outfit!!
1954 movie Seven Brides for Seven Brothers the “Barn Dance.”
That was an absolute classic. Somewhat obscure fact one of the brides (Dorcas) is a young Julie Newmar well before the days of Batman 66 and her in the Catwoman catsuit which is strangely a lot like ONJ's outfit in this clip
Alpha Omega thanks for the info. I love bits of trivia. I’ll take a closer look.
@@gwengirtman1239 - czcams.com/video/-Rd4NQ4ei_I/video.html
If you watch the June Bride sequence it's easy to see how much taller Julie is than the other girls.
The youngest brother Gideon is Russ Tamblyn who plays Riff in West Side Story and Nancy Kilgas the girl who plays Alice the youngest Bride also does some memorable dance sequences in Oklahoma
Also, the youngest brother (Gideon) is also Riff, leader of the Jets, in the Natalie Wood West Side Story. His name is Russ Tamblyn and he's still working.
One of my favourite movies and soundtracks! I was 7 years old when i bought a cassette with the music from ”Grease”, i loved it instantly and still does. Went too see the ”Grease” musical here in my town just before the pandemic started. I think the movie is great, not a dull scene. Every sequence is good. The energy is 100 %. The actors Said in an interwiev That they had a faboulus summer together and that the whole shooting of the movie was magical, and you can tell! The magic goes through the screen! Thank you for your reaction, good as always, lovely!😘
You are a positive force making a difference.
Fun fact! Olivia had to be sewn into those pants each day shooting because the zipper broke! And the red shoes she is wearing were her own.
Jamel: a request from me: Baby Come Back by Player!! Great song from '78
Yes!
any kind of fool could see thats the way to go
THIS Came out in 1978 All so The SWEET 70s
Thank you Jamal for being one of those happy moments to fill our souls with smiles during these days of isolation!
I love it when you zoom into the camera and give us “the eyes!!”😍
Get my spirits up with "Ease on down the Road" from The Wiz ..MJ :)
One - is that a "White Men Can't Jump" shirt?
Two - Tears for Fears, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World!"
Either that one or Shout.
Head Over Heels is also a good one by Tears for Fears that I feel isn't heard as much.
Fantastic movie and fantastic song!!!!
Hell yeah Tears for Fears!!!
That sure looks like Billy with the rock - lol!
Thanx for the reaction a little fun fact Olivia was 29 yrs old playing a high school senior when she made this movie. ❤
Ralph Macchio was closer in age to a teen in the first Karate Kid movie. He was only at least 22! They don't trust young people with starring roles.
Black pants, shoes and white sox are a great way to show off your fancy footwork on stage. Best illustrated by Michael Jackson's Moon Walk. Mesmerizing.
Amo este tema, de lo mejor, eres grande Jamel AKA me encanta tu canal, felicidades y sigue adelante amigo 👍
Olivia had two really good country albums way before this. She was the Taylor Swift of the 70's.
Who said Taylor Swift was good?
Except with talent.
Joe Day and a voice.
.
...except ONJ wasn't full of herself.
@20sentryboy You know, that girl that got embarrassed on stage by Kanye that one time while accepting a VMA award.
That incident made me pretty happy, actually, because I couldn't think of two people in pop music I disliked more. They deserved each other.
ONJ had (has) a voice that cannot be beat. So many great songs.
I love your channel. Thank you for playing and bringing back the great music of yesterday. I am only 40 and it's all I listen to. Grew up on it and miss it so much. Thank You
Mr Jamel Please I would love to see your reaction to Alen Parsons Project Games People play or time and old and wise these songs will touch your soul
Jamal--
If you listen to Alan Parsons Project
song "Sirius", I think you'll
recognize it immediately.
What I am doing at 3:15 AM on a Sunday morning? Trying to sleep but then this pops up on my phone and I just have to watch it! :) Love all your content. And I really should do this on Instragram but: Try anything by Týr or Hamferð. And HMU if you need help with some of their lyrics :)
ONJ was Rockin that outfit. My first crush as a youn man. RIP sweet lady.
I saw this film when it first came out ... remember it like yesterday - 1977.
Do "Summer Lovin.'"
React to - The O'Jays "Love Train" :)
Grease is a wonderfull movie and this song is fantastic !!!
This was a bittersweet movie for me...I was hopelessly in love with Olivia before the movie..and crushed when she went from "I honestly love you" before movie to "Physical" after the movie...she left me behind somehow *sob*
Travolta has so much talent, too bad he got sucked into Scientology.
Agreed-😞
ffjsb
Cruise got out and Travolta’s thinking of doing the same what I been reading
@@Lab-Rat lets hope so.
Jeffery Chavez 🤞🏼
Jeffery Chavez when did Cruise get out?
It’s Saturday - I’ve been working on a quilt all day. Thanks for the happy song!
Have you checked out The Guess Who?
He's done reactions to American Woman and These Eyes.
Thanks - I’ll have to check them out!
John did all his own singing all through this film, and he can SING.
We all fell in love with Olivia Newton John. An absolute Knockout.
I am a huge ONJ fan, and this came out when I was a kid. She was my first "star-crush". I would love to see you react to my favorite song of hers, with Electric Light Orchestra, the finale of her huge box office dud (but huge selling soundtrack album) "Xanadu". The specific clip has her castmates, the legendary movie musical leading man and director Gene Kelly, and her love interest, Michael Beck (from the 70's cult film 'The Warriors'). She plays a goddess (one of the nine muses who inspire artists) who falls in love with a mortal man in Venice, California in 1980. The movie is fun (but kinda dumb), but the music all by Olivia Newton-John and the Electric Light Orchestra (with a small appearance by The Tubes). The song link...if interested...you rock, dude!!!
czcams.com/video/kej_Ghu34uY/video.html
I loved - and still do love! - that movie, it's where I first fell in love with ONJ as a kid.
It's funny, those two movies made me so proud to have already been a huge ONJ fan. Years before, I used to stack 5 LP's of hers every night to fall asleep to. I always preferred Sandra Dee to Sandy, because of those roots. Cheers buddy!
@@McKavian I was like 9 or 10 when I first saw Xanadu. She was, to me, the ideal female if I were to have stereotyped her at the time. Still brings back fond memories of childhood to see these movies.
@@uoabigaillevey off subject but, is this your actual name or did you combine Abigail from King Diamond and LeVey from Anton LeVey? Just curious.
Also featured Cliff Richard
(on "Suddenly")
& Gene Kelly
(on "Whenever You're
Away From Me")
& let's not forget the great
John Farrar,
who wrote most of Olivia's songs.
I love this song. I love the entire movie.
Have you reacted to any Falling In Reverse? I think you'd like Keep Holding On by then
I used to rock the black shoes with white socks in high school! That was the look! Thank you for reacting to this song, so much fun! I remember going to see Grease at the drive-thru as a kid! I fell in love with ‘ONJ’!❤️ Such an iconic song and dance number!
The movie is fabulous and John did all his own singing ;) Olivia was adorable.
You need to do “Friends in low places” by Garth Brooks ASAP
Oh, you have got to react to that one!
Q: why do teenagers wear that style?
A: because it bugs their parents lol
Thank you for that reaction! That song and movie brings back a lot of memories! The movie was in the theaters in 1978. I was 17 and my friends and I went to see Grease 5 times, we loved it so much! You had to be 17 for movies like this, back then. Thanks again, for the flashback!
I saw this in the theater when I was 9. Loved it and fell in love with Olivia.
"Twist of Fate" from Olivia Newtown John is one of my favorites. From 1983
Like you said, Grease is an iconic musical. I was 18 years old when this movie came out back in 1978. To this day it is my favorite movie musical ever. I enjoyed your perspective.
Thanks for reacting to this. Great song! Neat throwback. Definitely upbeat and fun.
Thank you for lifting up our Spirits. You made me smile. An even better song as the first one of the movie.
My 10 year old loves watching this movie. She can sing every song by memory.
This song was number 1 on charts for 17 weeks in 1978.
Speaking of the white socks on black, a lot of cats wore their white t shirts backwards to have a tighter neckline. It was the style.
1978 WAS FANTASTIC SO MUCH FUN IN THE 70s
when i was young, the first film I saw in a drive-in in 1978 ..😎👍🎸
This put the biggest smile on my face! I love this movie & this song!
In 1978 my best and I saw this in the theaters 3 times. Both of us also had the OST on a 33 LP. We were 10 years old :-}
Now I remember this movie well!! It was filmed at my high school. Venice High in Los Angeles! I was a sophomore and I watched them film a lot of it. Since I lived on Zanja st. directly behind the school, we had to move our cars and the production co. replaced them with '50's ones. When they were singing the early song where he was with his cronies in the football stand bleachers and Olivia was singing her part at the outdoor cafeteria tables she got quite upset when she had to keep falling over one of the tables until the Director liked it!! They wanted extras too for $50. I said no because I didn't want to cut my hair short, LOL
