@Indie5018 Nooo! Don't say that because it is NOT true! I agree this is a great, great version, but no one can sing it better than wonderful Olivia.
-
i love her!
-
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.
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...
