During the performance Sharleen does not hot the right note on the word "in" when she sings "in Xanadu ooooo". Spiteri is a major third interval too low....And then she is also off on Olivia's spectacular finish. If you are going to do a cover, do it right....You can sing the whole song in a lower key, but please maintain the CORRECT Intervals!!!

what a way to bring a classic to light !

@Sordidlives1973 OLIVIA IS THE GREATEST, and yes this is a most amazing tribute, seems to be straight from heart
-
@bagabooga Yes, it's amazing that Olivia still nails every note live 30 years later at the age of 63!
-
A very good cover version of the most difficult song to cover. I mean Olivia's vocals from 1980 are untouchable and are arguably the best female pop performance by anyone in the XX century so kudos for Sharleen for making such a bold attempt and a really cool cover!

hmmm I'm a singer..am Maltese....and my surname is also spiteri...also hehe both my father and sharleen's father come from the same village..who knows may be we're relatives ^^..that would be really really cool

didn't elo do that song
-
@tukchop It's not bad for a cover, though. Sharleen's voice is totally different from Olivia's and much lower than hers, but somehow, it works on this song.

nothing compared to ELO and Olivia - in fact just a pale imitation
-
very nice
Brillant cover version better than the orginial Sharleen is brillant singer

People this is a TRIBUTE, not the ORIGINAL. She doesn't sound like Olivia Newton John because she's NOT Olivia, she's Sharleen Spiteri (with her OWN sound)! Got a problem with that? Then go listen to the original and leave the snide commenting out! And for all you 'music ciritics' busting her chops, I don't see YOUR videos/albumns out there, so until one of you can do better, please keep the snobby critiques to yourself...
