ON-J was the total package.



Insanely ****ing talented.



Insanely ****ing cute.



And cheeky and funny.

If she wasn't my first celebrity crush, she was in the team photo. RIP.

Bozzio, Madonna, ON-J were my Magic-Kareem-Worthy.

Oh that just sucks.

I always loved her voice, and I had a huge crush on her when I was a kid.

About 2 weeks ago, we were playing music on a random loop and the song "Magic" from Xanadu (which is the best movie / album ever that bombed) came on, and I went Karaoke crazy around our living room.

The poor woman was battling breast cancer for what seemed like her whole adult life. I hope she didn't suffer too bad.

RIP.

The photo on the NYT obit of her. Seems fitting.

RIP

Wow, first Helen Reddy, then Judith Durham and now Olivia Newton-John? That's like 1-2-3 on the "famous female singers from Australia" list.

Kylie Minogue better check her life insurance policy.

Nobody shared the stage with her in my eyes.

This pre-teen could play an ON-J album, and even my headbanger friends understood. And her album cover doubled as a poster on my bedroom wall, and even my headbanger friends understood.

As I remember, I was a little disappointed when she took on "Grease," because it interrupted my dream of her as a perfect, virginal Aussie.

American exceptionalism died when they paired Olivia Newton John with Swan from the Warriors in a fantasy musical, and nobody went to see it.

What if I told you that Michael Beck came out to play and went from Coney Island to Xanadu with a hot magical chick by his side? Next #30for30.

Every guy’s type.

I’m still reeling from Markie Post.

Xanadu was Gene Kelly’s last movie

She was unquestionably my first celebrity crush. This album cover is one of my earliest memories, from when I was four or five:

RIP

This is the photo NYT had on the tweet and people were complaining that it was insensitive. Personally, I thought that was the perfect photo to use.

This kicked it all off in the US:

Agreed. "Grease " was the image changer for her career.
