  • I have loved Olivia since I was 15 and I still cry everytime I hear her sing. she was and still is perfect. I too wish I had a time machine to travel back in time and see her in concert and maybe even meet her. Love you Olivia xx

  • wow, how come this song isn't a major hit on some list?

  • I cant think of a better female recording artist today. She was the complete picture. Dont try to top it or change it. That is it. You did it perfect Olivia. Nothing compares. 30+ plus years and it still is better than anything out there.

  • although olivia can sing, i believe she was lip synching here and i didn't remember people doing that on the midnight special. it is nice to see performers sing instead of jumping all around with hundreds of background dancers and videos and lights going wild in the background though.

  • Olivia was, and still is, stunningly beautiful with an angelic voice. I've loved her since I was a kid and she still makes me melt. :-)

  • She sings it right from her heart. Doesn't she?...Amazing!

  • I'll nver get tired watching this esp in low times, my dear angel Livvy is always here to inspire. Always loved that part, "your eyes hold me tenderly that shines in my memory forever", notice how she starts feeling it, then at 2:29 tears are welling up in her eyes....she feels this song so much....that in the end tears are falling down she has to held up her face so as not to roll down her lovely face. Oh, Olivia you are truly MAGIC!

  • impossibly beautiful

  • Sempre gostei dessa voz e nunca me esquecerei!

    Parabéns Olivia!

  • I really wish time was suspended back in 1980! I would be the right age and so would Olivia. She is one of the most beautiful women ever. I could see myself suspended in time with her forever!

  • I miss my BABY! I need you Baby!! From no till the end of my time!!

    Please forgive me of this lost time!!!!

  • I love you my Bunny!

    I run to my car, to my phone, to my future....it is with you!

    Baby,forgive me this length of time without you!

  • I think my heart would melt watching her sing itsy bitsy spider.

  • I love you never thought I would cheat but I have to go snuggle with Bart now. What a rainy night

  • It's good to see that performers at one time could actually sing , AND had class.

  • I remember seeing this when I was 17 and I loved it then and I love it now 31 years later. Thanks for posting.

  • Before MTV formally popularized music videos across US in 1981, this music video was our favorite at our college dorm in 1980. (We were ahead of the times.)

  • My god...it is amazing that she did movies & singing as a part of each.

    Watch this twice and you will see that Actress of Olivia.

    Aussie's sweetheart!

  • Oh Wes, this song is so........ something you would fall asleep listening to

  • One of the most beautiful women in the world.

  • @MrMichaelBurgio Inside and out... She is an angel.

  • @stockjonebills I agree!

  • She was and still is a goddess !!!! if you buy her new version of Magic from i tunes, all proceeds go to the Olivia Newton John Cancer and Wellness Centre a hospital she is building too try and rid this planet of Cancer. Well worth the $ 1.79. She really is an angel.

  • Anyone knows where I can find this in real HD? I'd love to have it, ONJ is simply divine here!! Well, she always is :)

  • Lovely Olivia....

  • i na,ed my daughter after her cuz i had such a big crush on her!

  • You are my miracle Baby! I adore YOU!

  • I'm waiting for our miracle. I love you Baby

  • Gosh, I had such a big crush on Olivia when I was a kid. I used to write her name on my school book covers ♥♥

  • Just an angel, she is so beautiful. It makes your eyes feel good just watching her.

  • A force of nature to be sure....the Oblivious Neutron Bomb!!

  • wow what happen to her, she was so good.

  • I was such a fan . ... my parents woke me up , I was 13 ...to see her perform this song..(it's lipsynked...but who cares ..'The Midnight Special , T.V. show!!!).I loved the movie" Xanadu" ...I think she's crying at the end because of the FAN BLOWING IN HER FACE....but the song is terrific! Long Live Livvy! I totally adore her!

  • There was a time when women were women.

  • i was a very happy 18 year old to see her in concert in minneapolis in 1982. I have seen her concerts 3 more times since. In 2002 she sang live a Beth Neilsen Chapman song (Sand and Water) that made time stand still. Keep going Olivia, if you can't save this world at least I had some company along the way.

  • This song should have been # 1. She performs it so beautifully.

  • Carrie Underwood has come the closest in comparison but still not quite. :)

  • Bravo Olivia....you are truely the best of all the rest and thank you for being YOU!

  • 2:37, my heart stops, and aches. How can I love someone whom I have never met, with such and age gap....If I could, I would travel back in time for Olivia.. <3

  • @mugen613 well she is still alive...go find her,,, it is never to late for love!!

  • @teenjayeye go watch Xanadu and then go look for her

  • When someone tells me they're a atheist, I refer them to this video of Olivia, and ask them to explain how such a creature can not only be so beautiful, but with a voice to match. I'll never buy she was just a product of random genes. I'm thinking He just wanted to see how fine he could make the female gender LOL.

  • @BamaRider - You just hit the nail RIGHT ON THE HEAD! Olivia is, indeed, the sheer product of a supreme being beyond our possible comprehension!

  • @BamaRider - ABSOLUTELY CORRECT for nature could never conjure up such a PERFECT creature emanating a pinnacle level of beauty, singing voice, sensitivity, and sheer emotional brilliance! Olivia, thank you SO MUCH for being you and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt the existence of a wonderful aand ominous supreme being!

    In the utmost sincerity and love,

    Dannykeith46

  • livvy has never ever looked any more perfect than this.....yummy......

  • i dont think this song could be sang any better out standing 'th,cisis is the most beautiful song i ever heard . so heart grabbing and soul lifting she should be floating around with wings .this song should have gotten alot bigger then it did .overwelming talent

  • This might just be the most beatuful she ever lookied...I love this song shouldhave been a bigger hit.

  • Beautiful, Angelic voice of Olivia~Thank You~

  • I agree with almost all of you posted here. What a song, by an incredible singer. She hasn't lost much through the years, either. Had a chance to see Olivia and Chloe in Las Vegas a few years back. What a blessing this woman has been to this era, and to those of us who remember with her songs, this movie and soundtrack, dominated the airwaves. I can still remember the first time I ever heard, have you ever been mellow, never been the same since. THE Oblivious Neutron Bomb!

  • My wife in an alternate universe!

  • THE MOST AMAZING SONG AND SINGER EVER!!

  • A M A Z I N GGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Radiant and magical.

  • she is crying because she puts her hole heart a sole into every word she sings .she is about as close as you can be to be an angel on earth . god broke the mold when he made her,such inner beauty flows through her voice

  • @gary101100 I agree, 100%...

  • Comment removed

  • hey maybe she's crying at the end , because of the FAN IN HER FACE!!!...I can tell ya from experience it does not help....so I guess ya just GO with it...it's an emotional song and well the movie was just ....well it felt abrieviated....(cut short) ....I love this sound track always!!!

  • lipsnych...oh well..........BUT <SHE IS SPECTACULARLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! long live Livvie!! I love YOU!

  • The sound at the beginning of this song, makes me feel, that i'm floating through the space..great feeling!

  • Everything about this performance was perfect in capturing the tone and atmosphere of the song. "Suspended In TIme" is one of Olivia's greatest, and should have been a single along with ELO's "The Fall" from the XanadU soundtrack.

  • Are you kidding me...Olivia is actually crying at the end of the song as you can clearly see a tear streaking down her left cheek. In fact, I've seen this video before on a DVD and she actually has to wipe away that tear in the extended version! This is NO act, NOT planned...simply the truely extraordinary emotions of an unparalleled woman who is the perfect balance of beathtaking beauty, class, and the sweetest voice on the planet!!!

    God bless you always...all my love!!!

  • this song is so beautifull .if this song was criptanite it would put superman to his knees

  • One of my favorites!  Thanks for posting.

  • My fav Olivia song...love the simplicity, Caroline x

  • Glorious performance! Best female singer of all-time!

  • Olivia has been and continues to be a gift from above...with her angelic presence in voice, in mind, and physical appearance. I've been in love with her for a long time and I'm still there. Thank you, Olivia from my heart, mind, & soul.

  • @bronzeTB What a beautiful way to say that for I feel that very same way.

  • AWESOME!!! There is no other singer with a voice as angelic as Olivia Newton-John. I watched Xanado years ago and loved it then, then recently I fell asleep on the couch with the television on and Xanado was playing and this song woke me and I cannot get it out of my mind.......I LOVE IT!!! GREAT JOB OLIVIA.....GOD BLESS YOU!!!

  • I died and on my way to heaven saw her sitting on a cloud singing this song. Damn then I woke up.

  • @ph1lstar haha I love that.

  • love this song so much 6 years old when i wached this movie vcr(=

  • I see her ONJ as one of those artists who achieved such a level of perfection in her art that it all became too much of a media hassel for her and just needed to drop out. Few can deal with that level of fame for long periods of time.

  • Uma linda mulher, uma linda voz, talento, e uma bela canção, perfeição...

  • Amazing song.Incredible singer

  • suspended in time, from xanadu, i was supposed to me in the army..in the movie, she's got a yellow halo, on account i've really got the yellow monad of sophia, holy wisdom..the avatar of the age, sriKim never would come into existence if the army had got a hold of him..he would've got used up in g-2, just like james bond was getting used up in casino royale..he would've learned to kill & he would've enjoyed it...

  • Beauty and Class!  They don't make 'em like this anymore.

  • My all time movie love the soundtrack!

  • I love this song!!!!

  • she is a god´s present for us .....thanks

  • A beauty

  • First time hearing this song. I simply love it. Wonderful video. 

  • Good lord Olivia Newton John is an angel walking the earth..for real.

  • I guess I'd cry too if I had 50mph wind blowing in my eyes for 4 straight minutes

  • Too good of a song. She should have released this one as a hit single!

  • @lcr1955 I always thought they should have released it as a single also. She was just so huge back then, and working her way back there today.

  • David , i love you so very much ...you are my very reason for living ..i have waited for you ALL my life..and now that i have you ..i aint EVER letting you go...our path to be together has been a rocky one ...but when 2 souls need to be together , they always find a way ..i just want o be Suspended in time with you ..Por siempre ....I love you ..Tu Gio xx

  • i love this song. :)) i know my age is not appropriate for this song. SO WHAT? I love this song. :))

    I kinda relate.

  • Great use of the hair drier

  • She sure is a beautifull Star and still alive!

  • tolle song super sängerin

  • She was my childhood girlfriend, that knew how to sing,along thousands of other young boys.Britney,Madonna,Miley,and all the other want to be singers could use some schooling on how to be a lady singing and preforming on stage. This is a class act.

  • She's been a big star to me ever since.

  • Perfection.

  • Flawless perfection in both infinite beauty, and vocal talent as well. Will love you forever Olivia.

  • I just got suspended in time...

  • Rock on Olivia love you!!!!

  • I love her so much

  • she is so wounderful love her music

  • They simply do not make them like this anymore.

  • I love the blowing of her hair effect in this clip

  • @cluvsonj is not effect , she's simply performing live outdoor and wind's blowin'

    tehnology can make ppl look stupid sometimes :)

  • Braileanul I guess I used the wrong word. I just liked the blowing of her hair no matter what it was that was blowing it. lol

  • Oh I looked at it again and see the huge fan. I guess you were making a joke. Oh well whatever I still like her hair blowing.

  • Great song from a great film

    i

  • there is something i never understand: how can she, and so many other singers perform such a nice song, without crying? i mean, i got lost in tears just by listening!

  • Sometimes, a singer is moved to tears, it this happens, they must sing the song till they become desensitized . As singers our job is to make the audience cry not our selves. Hope this helps.

  • As a singer, our job is to adopt the emotion of a song as our own, so that we can convincingly convey that emotion to the audience. We must never become "desensitized" - just can't get so choked up we can't sing properly!

  • @sozialeisolation

    she was crying look at her eyes left hand corner is wet look closely. Olivia always cries when she sings her songs.

  • @themikesmaiden, i didn´t saw her tears, when i watched it the first time. but now and at the end, they´re cleary visible.

  • I always cry when I hear THIS song! Such touching lyrics and beautiful tune.

  • How could a woman have any more to give than Olivia? Beauty, voice, her spirit that encompasses you, and she makes you feel like she's the girl you knew at school!!

  • A favorite song of mine from "Xanadu," it's so good.

  • It's hard to believe that this is 29 years ago and it still looks as fresh as today. Truly wonderful.

  • Wonderful Olivia and a a lovely song too. I'm in heaven....

  • every positive comment to this post is magnified a 1000 x's by me. She simply can not be touched..

  • The tone and smoothness of her voice is very sensual, no booty shaking or stripping or over the top dance needed. Tops any female artist available nowadays, I'm 34 yrs not old and I I've listened to thousands of albums.

  • @jjpeterson1 You are wise beyond your years. my friend. I'm 58, was in college when she hit the charts big time, and everytime I see one of her videos, she redefines what I believe a woman should be.

  • She is still my favorite female singer. Thanks for aging gracefully, Olivia!

  • She is the very definition of "star"......beyond that she is almost like a force of nature or something. It's almost supernatural the way she was back then, and of course one of the hottest women to ever walk the planet:)

  • Yeah there is something more to Olivia then just her beauty. Her voice and aura are spellbinding. Add to that the girl next door quality. She makes men melt.

  • @simoncowellscores You are so right.

  • @simoncowellscores You are so right.

  • Wow! So very lovely and such a captivating performance. Where is she today?

  • Such a beautiful voice.

  • I just love her. She is my favorite female singer. She is the best, the greatest! And this song is beautiful.

  • You can see she truly feels this song! She is amazing! Such Talent

  • It did look like she was tearing up at the end, but the fan [not one of the fans, but the air circulator hahaha] surely had something to do with that.

    But it made for a very heart felt looking performance whether she felt it or not. And wow does she look great!

  • For all of us have a relationship end, lost the one we loved, who hurt inside--- this song say's it all!

  • I agree to that! This song makes me tear.

  • This comment is to sarahsrose2002 on "For all of us..." comment.

  • This is from the Xanadu soundtrack.

  • I can't even count how many times I have watched this. She is such a class act!

  • Happy Birthday,Olivia.

  • I never get tired of hearing her.

  • Comment removed

  • She's so talented! This is kinda the song of my life right now.

  • fantastic! incredible!

  • Gawd. Never be another like her.

  • who do you think is prettier bar rafaeli or olivia newton john when she was young?

  • I was around 16 when she first performed this song. I was in love and I was gay. I thought this kind of beauty and talent was commonplace. Boy, was I wrong. It's a good thing modern technology has frozen these moments. This kind of phenomenon deserves to be seen over and over again. Things go at such a fast pace these days, if there was a person out there as appealing as Olivia they would never be noticed.

  • Wonderfully said! I was 14 and gay! (Though I really didn't know it then). When we were kids vocalists had voices and music had melodies. Today's music is a sham, I'm glad youtube exists so when I feel a bit pensive I can watch and listen and smile to when life was simpler and for me the world was a better place to live!

  • All these clips on YouTube are amazing! I bought her compilation double dvd a while ago hoping to see some of these performances and it was very disappointing. Nothing from the 60s or 70s at all, it was mainly a barrage of 80s videos and a live show from the 80s. So thanks to everyone who has taken the time to share their recordings, I'm a grateful fan.

  • a goddess, period.

  • I know her playing a Muse was a movie role, but by God it sure was typecasting.

  • I wish I was a pair of her panties back then.....

  • Olivia is 5ft5in tall.

  • i used to always prefer agnetha over olivia. i have all there records and cds, but you have to admit olivia has a better vocal range then agnetha. example from her album "totally hot" listen to the song "please dont keep me waiting" it shows how good her range is. i believe agnetha could also go that high but she never pushed herself hard enough to do it. from abba to her post abba carrier you could tell she wasn't pushed hard enough, and thats why her singles didn't make it as far.

  • beautiful voice......

  • Super Hottie,,,,Olivia,,,,,5 Stars.

  • Wow I forgot about this video. Olivia is beyond beauty she's just divine.

  • Comment removed

  • who gives a shit if she lip sinkn she is an amazing singer i have the mopvie xanadu and she is awesome in tht much better than any other musical like grease, and she is the same height as me 5'7 lol

  • Such a beautiful song. The words are touching. Love this song! Thanks forgot the name of it. Sarah

  • I read somewhere that back in the day she was 5'6" but just 108 pounds--when I saw her live, I'd say that was about right.

  • Olivia at her best. This is one of my favorites. She can keep me supsended in time...forever.

  • Yeah, I saw this show and the girls from ABBA are both 5"7 3/4'. On the Internet you can read Livvy is 5"6' (for example on IMDb).

  • Im not sure of her height, but i rekon shes 5ft 5in look at her on her Olivia special with the Abba girls who stand 5ft7 and a half each shes quiet small compared to them both! also Agnetha is just as stunning as olivia if not more x.

  • i think olivia is 5'6, and agnetha and frida always wore really big heels so i think they looked extra tall compared to olivia there. i also think agnetha and olivia both looked amazing in the 60's 70's and 80's, but after that agnetha didn't really come out.. and if you seen her lately.. yeah.. check it out yourself (im a HUGE agnetha fan by the way) but i think olivia looks alot better then agnetha now adays even tho agnetha is my favourite singer and olivia is my second.

  • She's not 5"5'! She's 5"6' (at least) or 5"8'

  • elle à du charme et je l adore depuis mon enfance....suspendre le temps ..elle chante bien et en plus elle est tres attirante................

  • She always has wind going through her hair.

  • So does everyone!. It's just that she does it SO well. Look at the exercise machine ad, zit cream ad, tampons you name it You have to keep your own personal fan for those 'spontaeneous windswept moments'

    AAAhhhhh

  • Take linda rhondstat and Olivia and me- - - put together with some butter and make a Jim sadwich! MMMMMMM fun!

  • La mas bella de todas
