There is only one singer who I fell in love with her voice the very first time I heard it on the radio at age seven. She was my favorite singer/vocalist right then in there, and it's been about fifty years now. I've never been so decisively right in my life, but I know music, I know vocalists, and I know hit music and future superstar singers. I just didn't know I would also develope a life-long crush on the most beautiful woman in the world, too. No one will ever compare to Olivia. A true gift to the world.
You were a prescient youth with good ear. I just assumed there'd be more like her as I got older, but that never happened. I adored her for 50 years now, more than any woman since, besides my Mother. I presume now I'll remain a bachelor - nothing compares to dearest Olivia.💔
@@NickNicometi My number two favorite singer who I also knew at a very young age, who is also a member of my favorite band of all time, ABBA, and who is also, to me, the second most beautiful women in the world, how could she not, is Agnetha Faltskog. She and Olivia have/had two of the most amazing, natural, and pure, unauto-tuned voices, who went on to sell millions and millions of albums, and were/are both stunningly beautiful women. And as hard as it is to be that beautiful ( men and women loved both of these two ), and is/was those amazing voices and songs that few can compare to.
The most gorgeous singer I have ever known . She took my breath away as a young boy. I followed her career since 1973. I finally had the pleasure of meeting her in Las Vegas after her show on 1st Aug 2014. It was my birthday weekend . I cherish my photo with her and autograph . I miss her , but I promise to keep her memory alive. Thank you for the vintage videos . Olivia is gorgeous in every way. ❤
When I was a teenaged boy I turned on my TV and this was my first view of Olivia. I fell in love instantaneously. She was my *first* crush. I’m now almost 65. I have adored this woman for fifty years. And now I sob while she teaches the angels how to sing.
I am 41 years old and, my dear Olivia, you have been my inspiration and accompanied me in the good and the bad moments, in happy and sad ones, since I was 14 years old. I can't imagine a world where there is no you, but you will forever live in my heart and in my thoughts. I know that someday we will share the same time and space once again. In the meantime, rest in peace, wherever you are. The world is a better place because of hearts like yours - because of people like you! And the echo of your unique and phenomenal voice will always LIVe on... You are love and light! I will always love you, Olivia. 💙💜💚❤🤍💗
I think she had the gift of story telling though song. The emotion she can convey in this and some other songs is just so deep and rich it takes you to another place. Gives me goose bumps still. I loved her in the late 70's and early eighty's, had all her albums. Then life got in the way. I turned away from music. Gave all my albums away. But here I am 46 years later, still listening to her. What an utterly beautiful women, that voice. Think I'll listen to it again. Be kind to yourselves and others we are living in dark times. As they try to get control over us all, remember there is beauty, in life. You are sovereign don't give that power to any govt / corporation.
@@walford70 This was the first time I saw and heard Olivia on television. I fell in love with her voice the first time I heard her on the car radio back in 71 when I was seven. I had seen pictures:album covers. I found out she was going to be on The Smothers Brothers Show. Perhaps it was the tv guide. Not many channels back then, one television and somehow I got to watch it. I was in LOVE ( still am ). I never forgot that episode and tried for years to find it. No luck. Finally posted on RUclips some 46 years later. A dream come true to see and hear this, again.
If I hadn't seen her and heard her voice, but just had heard or read an accurate description of Olivia, I sincerely would have assume that description was an exaggeration. No one can be that beautiful and also have such a beautiful voice... And there she was... Olivia... like an angel who lived among us.
Listening to her voice now transports me back in time to 1972 when I first heard heard her sing, my first thought was what a magical voice and stunningly beautiful lady. 50 years later and I still love to hear her voice. RIP Olivia.
I've never realised Olivia Newton-John, sang this *beautiful poem*,,, I've had Kiki Dee sing it on thee old K-Tel, record label, from the early 70s,,, but ONJ, version is just as good, which, I never thought I'd say Both singers sing with so much feeling,, Excellent ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️🤔🤔😍🤗🤗🤗
Fantastic, awesome live performance. Olivia's voice is awesome and great in this live performance. I've never seen this before and I didn't know Amoureuse was the name of this song that I have been listening to for many years. RIP Olivia. Love you and miss you.
I never really listened to this song before, but it is absolutely beautiful. For as long as I like others have loved this woman, I like that I’m discovering all these hidden gems. ❤
Wow, she just sang and didn't have to expose any of her private body parts to complete a wonderful performance. So different compared to today's performances that focuses more on showing reproductive organs.
My siblings and I were able to see her in concert after the If You Love Me Let Me Know album came out, only because she suddenly filled in for Jim Croce after he died in that sad plane crash. She came to a city near our town, and I was only about 12 or 13 years old. She was the dream concert for me, because I am a soprano and as a kid, wanted to be her, I loved her voice and looks so much. 🙂 She sounded just as good in person as on vinyl and cassette. Fantastic.
Wow !What a treat for all of Livvy's fans.It has not been seen in over maybe 30 years.It was the beginning of a beautiful career.We all knew that a star was being born upon us in the music industry.This song i adore.It is very haunting about love.She was born to sing love songs.What a tyreat for all of us.a new video .
This is such a strange clip, since Olivia never released "Amoureuse" in the States. The label didn't even include it on the compilation "If You Love Me, Let Me Know," since it was competing with Kiki Dee's version. "Amoureuse" could have been one of Olivia's early "signature" songs - right up there with "I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow?" It's a beautiful song, and her vocals are sublime.
The best version remains the original version of the French singer Véronique Sanson who also wrote and composed this song in 1971, her vibrato remains unique and inimitable and neither Kiki Dee, neither Olivia Newton John exude the sensuality that Véronique Sanson exudes during her performance. No doubt because this She really saw the song that she performed after having written it after a night of love when she was 20 years old.The lyrics of the song are beautiful but the song made a mini scandal at the time because the majority was set at 21 but it allowed her to triumph, French men fell in love with her at the time by listening to the tone of her voice in this song, But not that since the American singer Stephen Stills passing through in Paris fell in love listening to the song performed by Véronique Sanson and asked to meet her and eventually married her.
This beautiful song has two equally beautiful versions by ONJ and Kiki Dee, but in a strange twist Helen Reddy sings a similarly lovely version with entirely different lyrics (called Emotion)! Those 70s girls all had class.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I've been hoping this video would surface! Merv said on the 1981 show that she appeared earlier in the 70s and always wanted to see it. Also, odd that she performed this song when it really wasn't released in the states.
I had no clue there's an english version of Amoureuse (original by Véronique Samson) and the fact it's the lovely Olivia who sings it... I still prefer the original but this is so beautiful.
She sings with the same ElectroVoice microphone as Elvis. I have an EV N/D 767A which is the modern equivalent. It's so good I use it for studio recordings. Support the company by investing in one. (NOTE: They are not as durable as the SM 58, and must be left to dry out after 30 minutes of singing.
Olivia makes a poorly-written song beautiful. I could have written a better song for her. I'll write better melodies to these lyrics for her to sing in heaven.
@@vastolive8 I have to respectfully disagree Mr ONJ fanatic. Olivia sang many great songs but the arrangement of this cover is abysmal. It is the arrangement that lets it down and not Olivias voice which is superb. The arrangement of the Kiki Dee version is haunting and far superior.
I didn’t know Olivia had recorded this. I have to say that it pails in comparison with the Kiki Dee version. This arrangement is just awful and does Olivia a great disservice. She is a fine singer but this is not one of her best moments.
There is only one singer who I fell in love with her voice the very first time I heard it on the radio at age seven.

Kiki Dee did it most justice.

Wow so beautiful ! This song from the French icon Veronique Sanson who wrote this in the 70’s ( amoureuse).
Enlish lyrics different

Olivia is a rainfall from another planet😍
your comment made me cry.
Voice of an angel.😘
However many times I watch this stunning performance it never fails to utterly mesmerise me . Perfection!
The most lovely soprano songstress ever for popular music.

Both singers sing with so much feeling,, Excellent ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️🤔🤔😍🤗🤗🤗
The very best female singer ever lived, and the most beautiful human being, she just mesmerised me yet again, absolutely love you Olivia ❤️❤️❤️xxx

Pure perfection. Visually and vocally 💕
Saw her in concert about two years ago…one of the best and warmest concerts I’ve ever seen ❤️
2024 lives in my mind and heart Olivia Forever young
Almost 2024 yes glad I am not the one still listening to it.. Heard Kiki’s version too? I liked that one also..
I never really listened to this song before, but it is absolutely beautiful. For as long as I like others have loved this woman, I like that I’m discovering all these hidden gems. ❤
Kiki Dee version is better
Thank you Olivia ❤
Holy bejesus...being belgian, I know this song in French. But I randomly clicked on this link and it blew me off my feet
Olivia ist und bleibt die Nr.1 !!!
So sanft und zärtlich singt nur Sie 😍 for ever 😍
... Trés belle interprétation de cette sublime chanson de .. Véronique Sanson...
c est la première fois que j entends une chanson de Véronique Samson reprise en français et par Olivia Newton John qui était tres jeune xxx
Amazing quality
Always loved your music RIP Olivia Newton-John

Great version by Olivia but Kiki owns this song.

pretty song.

Excellent! Hey I wonder if you have a video of Olivia singing What is life or If not for you live
I wish she was singing about me....
esta cancion es de Veronique Sanson de 1972
si senor! Vive la France! Vive Véronique! Vive Olivia!
Kiki Dee did the best version of this song.
@Redblade 😂😂😂
Not
The lyrics were changed for the Englsh version and they were written for Kiki Dee
C'est curieux, cette version, en Anglais. La traduction n'est pas exacte...
What happened to the video of her singing "If You Love Me Let Me Know?"
She sings this excellent Véronique Sanson hit even better than Kiki Dee, whom I found very talented though.
Véronique Sanson’s first hit
