  • 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...

  • @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.
