Australian pop legend Olivia Newton John says her song "Physical" Is better than Dua's song

[Spicechinodiva]

Besides Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton John is perhaps the other Biggest pop diva from Australia (though she did start out country before her foray into pop in the 80s, thx to Grease). 

In an agree to disagree segment, Andy asked if Olivia's 1980 #1 hit (the second single ever to top the Hot 100 for 10 straight weeks) was the better song to be titled "Physical" against Dua Lipa's own single of the same name. 

Olivia obviously agreed as it's one of her best known and beloved songs and enjoyed a resurgence in popularity thx to a duet with Coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) on one of her few times she was given a musical performance (the other that's a stand out is Vogue) Wayans initially disagreed, but as we see he quickly changed his mind. 

The video for Olivia's Physical is what I describe gay soft adult lite. At the time, MTV asked her to censor it. Still to this day, I think back to a four year old me watching that video in 1988 - that had to be an early sign that I was really different as I found the video hot. 

I'll share it. 

 

Now I get why the video was controversial for it's time, the ending alluded that the men were gay and wanted to hook up with the one they were holding hands with.

Nah, Dula Pepe physical is better

EDIT: Can’t people get a joke?

Physical was a cultural reset when it came out in the 80’s. 

I doubt most of the millennials on this site really grasp what a huge hit it was at the time.

I love Dua’s version, but Olivias literally paved the way for these modern day pop girls. 

And sadly, she probably won’t be with us much longer. We need to celebrate and appreciate her whilst she’s still here. Her biopic staring Delta Goodrem was great!

Very this

Dua's physical is one of the most overrated song of 2020 i really don't get all the praise

Is it because the quality of mainstream pop has dropped so much that as soon as there's something a bit decent you act like it's the holy grail?

One is truly an ICONIC song and the other is remain to be seen yet. 

[Brat]

It’s a **** song and the video was a win for the gays 

we need a mashup

Andy Cohen has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen.

They’re coming for you. And this time a Finest exhale user (whom we don’t know) is not one of them. 

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

I like them both.     

[Spicechinodiva]

I also liked how they all agreed, That the size of his member isn't important, what is important though, is if he knows how to use it properly in bed. 

 

Many time's I hear horror stories, he's a big person, but he doesn't know how to make the bed wet at all, and thus sucks in bed. 

 

I've heard this from both males and females. 

The size matters is a myth that ends up being disappointing and not accurate.

I like both but I prefer Dua’s 

Olivia’s is more iconic, tho

Her cancer came back to stage 4 and at her age, she won't have the strength to go through the chemotherapy, radiation, while people are age can handle it. The older we get our bodies become weaker. 

 

So it's that and it's now terminal.

Who?

The only Physical I know is by miss Dua Lipa.

Her Physical>>>>>>any other physical

Common love isn't for us
We created something phenomenal
Don't you agree?
Don't you agree?
You got me feeling diamond rich
Nothing on this planet compares to it
Don't you agree?

[ICouldntThinkOfOne]

How dua's blew up, I'll never understand.

 

It's a bland amalgamation of Let's Get Physical and New Attitide.
