One does not simply explain Xanadu. ;) Honestly, Xanadu is an experience. This *seriously* needs to be the very next movie you watch. It is a wonderful musical, and, other than Gene Kelley (if you don't know who he is, he was a legendary film, dance, and singing star) being in the movie, I won't give you spoilers. Just watch, then watch this video again. It'll make you smile even harder.

@ninaleo37 Год назад

Totally agree!!! As they kept talking, trying to figure things out, I just kept repeating over and over, "You have Got to watch this movie. You simply Have to watch this"!!! Like, this needs to be the very next movie that they watch. This whole video will make sense then!! 🎶🎶💜😊

@stephwest1382 Год назад

100 agree. It's an experience

@billparrish4385 Год назад

Ah, Gene Kelly, and our dear sweet Olivia! 'Whenever You're Away From Me' is timeless. Just perfect. So strange sitting in a theater in 1980, watching an icon from our generation perform so credibly with an icon from my grandparents', in his style. Could she just do everything, or what? Even stranger now, searching in another window and watching a clip of that unforgettable scene that was set in his home, realizing it's been more years now since that was filmed, than the scene itself was from the sights and sounds it was recreating. And then a pang, as you realize they're both gone now -- the veteran actor and the lovely ingenue/pop star. 'I only have to close my eyes....'

@charlesallen2306 Год назад

Yep, now I have to watch this tonight. The extended clip of this song video is really cool, a lot of skating!

@susanlawens3776 Год назад

I did suggest it, right from the start, actually. Maybe even at the beginning of this channel when they weren't even watching movies yet.

@StarGeezerTim Год назад

The movie was and is cheesier than a wheel of cheddar, but after all these years I still love it. It brings tears, both happy and sad, to see Olivia so full of life and so beautiful here, and it breaks my heart she's no longer with us. She was no doubt one of my first celebrity crushes as a kid, and I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for her. Rest in peace, sweet Olivia. 💔

@kennethcadwell2124 Год назад

Most 70's and 80's musicals can be classified that way. But it's the kind of cheesiness that's very fun and enjoyable to watch........

@TheInfo45 Год назад

I totally agree Xanadu is a completely guilty pleasure that I happen to adore. I was raised on old-school film so having Gene Kelly in this film just made me smile throughout. I have no objection to them checking this movie out as long as they don't expect it to be anyting but fun and totally 80s

There is another song from the Xanadu Soundtrack sung by Olivia which was a much bigger hit than this title track. The song is “Magic” and it went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart. It has a more traditional Olivia sound, but, with a little more electronic sound. It’s a gorgeous song and if you haven’t reacted to it previously I really think you should do a reaction video for it. I think Amber would really enjoy it because of the mood and the vibe of the song.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this song, this movie clip, and Olivia Newton-John. I saw this movie in its original theatrical release in the 80s (as a senior in high school), and I still watch it every chance I get. The movie has its weak points, but come on...ONJ, ELO, Gene Kelly, dancing, special effects, Greek Mythology, skating, animation...I still get goose bumps watching the grand finale. Thanks for the fun review and getting to see your initial reactions.

Also, Greek mythology with Zeus(voiced by Wilfred Hyde-White) and his 9 daughters. One of Kira's sisters was portrayed by dancer-actress Sandahl(SP?) Bergman who later went onto portray Red Sonja. She also appeared in the Moonlighting episode Big Man On Mulberry Street.

@joiedevivre2005 Год назад

Olivia Newton John's voice washes over you like a refreshing, cool stream on a hot day. She plays one of the Muses (from Greek mythology) in this movie & it is believable that her voice could inspire great artists. Have y'all reacted to her song "Suddenly" yet? If not, y'all need to.

"What is this movie?" Amber, this is the ultimate 80s musical. ELO, ONJ, The Tubes, roller disco, amazing music, Gene Kelly dancing and singing in his last film in a massive shout-out to one of his classic roles from 1944, Rock and Big Band combining in an amazing fusion, a story of a forbidden love... there's _so_ much going on it's hard to describe it all without spoiling the entire story. Just watch it when you can.

The movie was panned at the time but became a cult classic mainly because of the superb soundtrack. It’s one hit after another and it’s unforgettable. The fashion and costuming also was spectacular in Xanadu and that also cemented it’s place in pop culture. The looks from clothing to make up and hair are undeniably brilliant and inspired and define the era. The storyline and acting (especially the leading man) leave a lot to be desired, but somehow Olivia transcends all of that to come out on top of it all and no one cares because she was so beautiful and brilliant and talented. It’s quite a testament to a performer to be able to survive and even conquer a poorly written film. As a young teen, I loved it immediately even when adults and others criticised it. I didn’t care because I found the whole experience so magical. That’s all I cared about.

Jeff Lynne, from the Electric Light Orchestra, is such a brilliant songwriter and musician. This song, which he wrote for ONJ and the movie, shows the breadth of his talent.

ELO played this at a couple concerts I saw them at in recent years, although I prefer Olivia singing it.

I met Jeff Lynne in LA in the late 90s when he was with the travelling willburys at a bar called Delaneys in California Which he went to on his own frequently . I was and still am a massive fan of him and ELO . I was visiting from England. Omg such a down to earth nice guy . My mum didnt know who he was and asked him what he did, he modestly replied that he was in a band , she then asked him does he make a living from being in this band wtf lol 🤣🤣. Top man and a true gentleman what a genius .

Oh wow thats amazing, his music was way beyond the times . He would sit at the bar and always had time for anyone.

So, "Xanadu" was a movie starring ONJ and some guy we never saw again. There was a LOT of roller skating in the movie. It's VERY VERY 80's (almost to a fault). Basically she's one of 7 sisters who are muses. She's this guy's muse. And yes, Xanadu is a music club. But you'll have to watch the movie to find out all the deets :)

@laustcawz2089 Год назад

It's actually 9 sisters/muses. ONL's character is nicknamed "Kira" in the movie, but the actual name is "Terpsichore" (rhymes with "hickory").

This collaboration gave Electric Light Orchestra their first (and only) N°1 single in the UK. It peaked 8 in Billboard Hot 100.

@robb481 Год назад

Actually the song was written by Jeff Lynne the man behind ELO and he also produced it. I also believe its ELO playing the music as they did several tracks for the movie soundtrack.

@lynnlafever1810 Год назад

Olivia was sooo beautiful and talented. The male costar/love interest, in this movie, was Michael Beck, who gained fame in the cult classic, "The Warriors"! Joe Walsh did the soundtrack also! Now that would be a reaction movie!!!

Music and Backing Vocals by E.L.O (Jeff Lynne). ONJ has the perfect voice to suit this track. Plus the fact she was gorgeous as well 😉

You guys have to see the movie.. and hear her song "Suddenly". It's sort of a breakaway song from the movie that became one of her biggest hits ever.

The Xanadu music album is *great*. Almost every song on the album is an upper deck song, and definitely worthy of reactions. Thank you for another fun reaction.

My best friends and I saw the film 3 times back then. We love ELO and Olivia. We went to the film location, Pan-Pacific Auditorium, here in LA. 9 years later, my boyfriend and I happened to be there and saw this Auditorium catches fire. The Fire engines were arriving. It was so sad. ELO & Olivia composed this song. You can tell they sound like ELO music. The film has so much joy and love, especially the scene all dancing, roller skating, and singing. I still watch this video all the time. I still love ELO, and I miss Olivia Newton-John.

@stacywhisenant6242 Год назад

I loved this movie as a kid and an adult I still enjoy it. The best part of the movie is the music and it acts as a sort of flash forward in styles of dancing/music. The weakest part of the movie was the male lead. I felt all the side characters and ONJ. All her sisters never speak but you still feel the connection.

What a great start to Female Friday! You'll also love ELO's "I'm Alive" and "All Over the World" from this soundtrack. Hope you check out the movie as well. It's fun and cheesy and the music is awesome. I'm putting in another vote for Helen Reddy for a Female Friday. "I Am Woman" would be fantastic for FF, but "Angie Baby" is my favorite. It's got a wonderfully creepy story about a woman who is far more than she appears to be. "Candle on the Water" is another Helen Reddy song I love. It's from the original Pete's Dragon movie, which I also think you would enjoy. Love your reactions. You two ALWAYS make me smile! Happy Friday! 🎶❤

I couldn't get enough of this musical/movie! I remember throwing a tantrum when my mom wouldn't let me watch it and it was the last time it was going to be on HBO (now MAX). She said the dancing was to suggestive and to be fair I was only about 10 years old but the skating and music had me from the beginning.

OLJ & ELO, a magical combination!! In case you were wondering, the song refers to a nightclub in the movie. But the term "Xanadu" is much older, being synonymous with Shangri-La, a metaphor for a perfect and idyllic place. It's from a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the late 18th century called "Kubla Khan".

@laustcawz2089 Год назад

There are also references to Xanadu & Kubla Kahn in a 1975 TV movie called "Sweet Hostage", starring Linda Blair & Msrtin Sheen.

@puppetsnob 8 месяцев назад

I love her duet in the movie Xanadu with Cliff Richard (who was popular in the late 70s) called "Suddenly", written by the same guy John Farrar who wrote "The One That I want" from Grease.

This movie was my life in 1980. I must have dragged my mom to the theater about 12 times that summer to see this. I fully admit it's cheesy as heck and I still love it. And I WISH we had skate rinks that amazing in the 80's granted we were doing all the tricks at the rink cause rolling skating was a way of life in the early 80's.
