Classic Olivia, Jun 29 2004
This review is from: The Best of Olivia Newton-John (DVD)
This 5 song dvd is must have despite the fact that it is only 17 minutes long. Four of the videos not including Physical are hard to find and have rarely been seen since their premeir back in the late 70's and early 80's. The sound quality is amazing and what impressed me most about it is the fact that it has given these songs a freshness not heard even on the rematers of the cd's Totally Hot and Physical. The picture quality is also one of the best I have seen. The only downside is the shortness of the dvd considering Olivia has done so many videos over the years. One can only hope they all see the light of day on dvd, along with her 1982 concert from Utah.

Woo-Hoo!! TOTALLY HOT, May 20 2004
This review is from: The Best of Olivia Newton-John (DVD)
Only five videos ... but like Alanis Morrissette named a recent album: FEAST ON SCRAPS!!
This DVD brought back such good memories. Olivia was da bomb back in the 80's. For a few years after GREASE, she was riding high. My sister had all her albums and I listened, too!
I'm so excited to see the TOTALLY HOT video. This song rocks! I'm partial to anything with horns in the arrangement ... and Olivia's "dance break" in the middle of the song is fantastic. Nobody can strut in pumps like Olivia can. (Trivia: Are those the same black GREASE pants that she had to be sewn into??)
I forgot how fun PHYSICAL was. And the muscle dudes in speedos are ... hot.
HEART ATTACK is cheesy ... but I'm not complaining. Cheesy is fun (just rent XANADU, one of my favorites!).
I'm not sure if Olivia made any more videos --- I seem to remember a sexy vid a few years later with fire and Olivia in a bed with two muscle dudes walking toward her -- but these are a lot of fun and bring back lots of fond memories.
"So hot / totally hot / you got to me!"

Olivia Rock's a little!!!!!, May 5 2004
This review is from: The Best of Olivia Newton-John (DVD)
This budget priced, nicely packaged little DVD collection of five Olivia Newton-John music video clips is a great little gem for the Livvy fan! Songs are from Livvy's "rock" stage, pulling cuts from the 1979-1982 era. So in these clips, Olivia truly rocks a bit! It includes footage rarely seen in 3 of the clips, and one can only imagine how many jaw's dropped as Olivia danced on the rooftop in the final track, surrounding NY's trendy manhatten area.I won't complain about the fact there are only five songs, as the great low retail price and quality is excellent, along with some rare footage.But I hope more Olivia Newton-John DVD's are issued, especially her famous "Physical" video music album, previously available on VHS.
