Listening to her talk about her love for her daughter, Chloe and husband, John just warmed my heart. She is truly a kind, compassionate and inspiring person!I especially enjoyed hearing about her friends and the funny and sad stories. When she talked about her friend Karen Carpenter's death you could feel her sense of loss and sadness. She even began to cry and it brought me to tears. The same when she spoke of her sister Rona's death. What an incredible human being she is. She works at such a positive mindset.

Not only has she marked herself as one of the greatest singers of this time but also a great humanitarian for the planet and a champion for cancer awareness and wellbeing. I think even if you are not a fan (but who doesn't love Grease!) everyone should read this book.

I think once you read it you will find yourself to be one! It's that inspiring! 3.5 StarsI grew up in a household that worshipped movie musicals, so Olivia Newton-John is a face and voice I’ve known well since childhood.

And this was exactly that.Told chronologically, Olivia shares intimate details of her life, reminiscing on her childhood and early days as a singer, to her shot to stardom on stage and in film. Beyond the borders of her show biz career, Olivia also shares some of her personal highs and lows, in love, loss, and motherhood, and opens up about her fight with breast cancer and her continual journey in staying healthy and strong.Olivia’s life story is one of a down-to-earth Aussie girl who has had some truly spectacular experiences in her long, illustrious life. I very much enjoyed reading (hearing) her story told first-hand and I highly recommend her personal narration.

Don't Stop Believing Olivia Newton John Lyrics

We all know that Olivia is a wordsmith with her songs and that has carried through to her biography. She forced tears to leak from my eyes through her stories about her life and the people around her. Olivia had a co-writer on this project with her but it is hard to imagine that someone else has captured her soul so perfectly.We are exposed to her life through the ages, the good, the bad and the ugly. When you read some of what performers of Olivia's calibre put themselves through to give us a performance, it makes you love and respect them that little bit more.

As you read, you can almost feel the pain that she went through in order to be the consummate professional. Coming to terms with her heartbreaks, in all of their different forms, she shares the personal side as opposed to that public side we have seen. These insights in to her life are like little snippets offering us a peek into what it means to be Olivia Newton-John.What I loved about this story is that she doesn't dwell in the past. The hurt stays with her, yes, but life must go on and so she is constantly looking to the future. Her ability to deal with her third bout of cancer and still keep believing is awe-inspiring and shows what a great role model she is for people who are suffering and looking for some guidance.

She points out that not all treatments and options are for all people but shares what works for her.I think the thing that struck me the most about this book was how grateful Olivia is. She is grateful for the people in her life, the opportunities she has had as well as the experiences she has lived through. It is with grace that she has overcome or succeeded at what she does. She is one of those rare gems who is legitimately a good person whose soul believes in helping all life, be that person, animal or planet.Don't Stop Believin' is for more than just Olivia Newton-John fans. It is for anyone who dared, it is for those who need guidance and positivity in their life. It is for cancer sufferers who would like to see a light but most importantly, it is for anyone who strives to be the best person they can be.

I'm a huge fan of Olivia Newton-John and have long followed her career, listened to her music, seen her films and even once had the opportunity to meet her. She is a great entertainer, a wonderful Australian, passionate about her causes and her interests and seems to be one of the nicest people out there.Unfortunately though she is not much of an autobiographer. This is not to say that 'Don't Stop Believin' is a bad read, or that her prose is tedious, uninteresting, vapid.

This is not to say that 'Don't Stop Believin' is a bad read, or that her prose is tedious, uninteresting, vapid. However, generally there is a superficial simplicity to her prose that just doesn't elevate her story above the level of an expanded article in a mass market magazine. This is no 'Extreme Honey' from Elvis Costello or other more complex and articulate artist's autobiography. It is a reasonable good tale told with the author's heart on her sleeve, but it will really only appeal to Olivia's fans.For me the most enjoyable parts of the book was reading about Olivia's early life and career, including some interesting insights into her family history and her time in Melbourne and the UK before cracking the big time in (around) 1970. I was particularly keen to see what Olivia had to say about her work on 'Xanadu' and her collaboration with Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra, and that was given some attention that mostly satisfied.However the closing chapters of the book were not that engaging for me as Olivia waxed rhapsodically about her current husband and her new age beliefs and health interests. Don't get me wrong; I can respect her for forming these key relationships and ideas in her life.

She has gone through some seriously ordinary life experiences. However for me it was just a bit 'away with the fairies' and not really the kind of material I would read if it had been written by someone else.When it comes down to it, 'Don't Stop Believin' is an adequate autobiography from Olivia Newton-John that will sell well and give her millions of fans something to be generally happy about.

Will it appeal outside that demographic or become a landmark in the autobiography genre? Nah, I don't think so.

I was a fan of Olivia's back in the day and I really liked Grease and Xanadu but then I sort of lost track of her. It was good to read the book and her stories of her life in the spotlight and her charity work. She is also very open about her 3 bouts of cancer. The latest one has been the most debilitating and she is still fighting it.

Sorry-this is not a good memoir. It's nothing but positive fluff with no substance to it. The stories are dripping with praise for everything and everyone, including herself and the things she has done. While many will find it uplifting, it certainly contains no insight into the singer other than that she has had many health problems, she chooses to use alternative means to treat those problems even though she keeps having bad health, and she married a guy who uses herbs and plants to give her Sorry-this is not a good memoir.

While many will find it uplifting, it certainly contains no insight into the singer other than that she has had many health problems, she chooses to use alternative means to treat those problems even though she keeps having bad health, and she married a guy who uses herbs and plants to give her mind-altering experiences.The biggest problem with the book is the lack of including anything that we don't already know. At 300 pages, you would think there would be some interesting stories, but there might have been two pages in the whole memoir that had anything that was remotely interesting. And there were probably only two negative sentences in the whole thing as well.Instead it comes across as a promotional piece for her concerts, her cancer center, and her husband's strange use of South American herbs.

I wouldn't trust anything she or he recommended after reading this book-they are too fringe. Add to that the fact that she is rich and has traveled the world in search of health solutions, something most of us can't do, and she comes across as out of touch. Also, her life philosophy seems unrealistic for an average person-it's easy for her to only push positivity when she is wealthy and makes money off that image.

In truth there are a lot of potentially dark chapters that could have been written but she just pretends like they never happened or doesn't want to admit the truth.There's almost nothing in the book about her daughter (Olivia fails to address the very public rumors about the daughter), her disappearing lover (only two positive pages that slam false media sightings), and her first husband (vowing not to say anything negative about her daughter's dad). She gives one-sentence and one-paragraph mentions of famous people she encounters, but there aren't really any stories about them.

John Travolta gets a giant Valentine here but there is nothing that will pull back the very hidden curtain in his life. Namely, she plays it safe with everything and everyone.The one big thing I came away with is that she's not Australian by birth, but actually was born in England and raised there her early years. She doesn't ever explain how she is considered Australian when she only lived there ten years before going back to England and then moved to America. She appears to have homes all over but at one point says she can't vote for the U.S. President, even though she praises a few.As a person who has dealt with cancer, I appreciate a person being upbeat about life and the future. But if you fail to ignore facts and just think the power of positive thinking is going to change everything, you're no better than using black magic for healing. It's not that it doesn't work for some, but alone it won't give people the help they need.So this incomplete picture of Newton-John's life, especially her relationships and health issues, may do a disservice by making people think the answer is to just pretend that everything is going to be fine or giving people with very serious conditions false hope with simplistic solutions that go against the advice of modern medicine.

Positive is good as long as it's combined with reality, and this book only seems to have the positive part without the reality. I honestly love her. I am hopelessly devoted to her. But this book just didn’t do it for me.

It was just meh. No real new and fun details on the making of Grease or Xanadu. No real background on recording the songs or how she felt about her biggest hits. It just felt like “I did this.

Then I did this. Then I did this. It was wonderful. Then I did this.” The one or two examples where it felt like we were going to get some juicy dish, she wouldn’t even tell whom she was referring to. Then it got I honestly love her.

Which is all fine and good. Just not the stuff of which page turners are made.

Still love her. But this bio was a real let down. (This review will be on my blog soon.)-I was obsessed with Olivia Newton-John as a little girl. As a little girl, I knew all of her songs by heart, and I had watched all of her movies over and over. I do admit that as I grew up, my obsession faded.

However, when I saw Olivia's autobiography, Don't Stop Believin', on the shelf at my local library, I decided to give it a read. While it was enjoyable, it just came across as kind of preachy.Olivia Newton-John rose to fame in t (This review will be on my blog soon.)-I was obsessed with Olivia Newton-John as a little girl.

However, when I saw Olivia's autobiography, Don't Stop Believin', on the shelf at my local library, I decided to give it a read. While it was enjoyable, it just came across as kind of preachy.Olivia Newton-John rose to fame in the United States as the character of Sandy in the movie Grease.

She also had a bunch of hit songs and records afterwards. Olivia's autobiography does mention her rise to fame although I felt as if there wasn't enough time spent on her rise to fame. She does write about her time with Grease and other films as well as recording her songs throughout the book. I felt the movies and songs were written about well.We get a taste of her life as a child in England and Australia, although I felt she didn't discuss her pre-fame life too much.

I would have liked to read more about her childhood instead of just being rushed into when she started performing. I know Olivia Newton-John likes to keep her private life out of the limelight, but when writing an autobiography, it's important to give the reader a little more details than what Don't Stop Believin' gave us.There was so much name dropping throughout this book!

While I understand that famous people know other famous people, sometimes I felt as if Olivia was dropping names just for show instead of because it fit the story. You have a lot of famous friends. We get it!Another thing that annoyed me about the book was how some parts seemed like an advertisement for her Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre as well as for her husband, John Easterling's, herb company. I know she's done so much for her cancer center, (which I give her mad props for), but she goes on and on about how great and lovely of a place it was especially after she was an inpatient there. Of course the staff would treat her better when her name is on the building!

There's more than one chapter devoted to how great the place is. I'm sure it is lovely, but I felt like I didn't need to a chapter (and more) about how great it is. As for her husband's herb company, she went on and on towards the end of the book how his herbs really helped her out which is great, but again, does the reader really need the specifics and being told over and over again how helpful it was?The major thing that annoyed me was how preachy Don't Stop Believin' was in a lot of chapters.

In fact, it made me feel guilty sometimes that I rely on modern medicine. Olivia writes how she'd rather take the natural approach to fighting off viruses and diseases, and I get that because I don't like to take medicine needlessly either, but sometimes, it's the best thing. However, I just felt that Olivia was berating those who choose to go the medicinal route. I felt like she was implying that natural remedies work better than modern medicine. This can be dangerous especially if someone gets off their medicines they need to survive to try the natural approach. People should always discuss any changes of medication with their doctors.To me, Don't Stop Believin' writes like someone who's always been privileged and sheltered throughout their life. A lot of it feels like Olivia Newton-John is out of touch with reality and like she's living in La-La Land.

I just found it hard to relate to her throughout the book. Yes, she has gone through some hardships such as deaths in the family, her cancer diagnoses, and her ex-boyfriend disappearing, but for the most part, her autobiography is just too sunshine and rainbows for me to truly relate.Don't Stop Believin' flows beautifully though, and the writing is done very well, so it has that going for it. I did find myself enjoying the book most of the time when Olivia wasn't been preachy or advertising something. There were some interesting tidbits about her life throughout the book.Trigger warnings include some profanity use, death, cancer, drinking, and smoking.Overall, Don't Stop Believin' isn't a bad book, quite the contrary. It's just a bit too hippie dippy for me to have truly enjoyed it to its fullest.

I did find the book interesting though despite some flaws. I would recommend Don't Stop Believin' by Olivia Newton-John especially to those who have been diagnosed with cancer as this book does come with a bunch of positivity when it comes to dealing with cancer. As an elementary school kid, I fell in love with the voice of Olivia Newton-John as Sandy in Grease. I think she has the most pleasant singing voice I have ever heard.

I've followed some news of her life over the years, but this book was my first glimpse at her life beyond news stories over the years.Writing about her work and relationships, she spent a good portion of the book on her childhood, touring, movies, and recording projects. Her work ethic is enviable. Her talent is amazing. Her pain As an elementary school kid, I fell in love with the voice of Olivia Newton-John as Sandy in Grease.

Her work ethic is enviable.

Her talent is amazing. Her pain is real. From failed relationships to physical suffering, Olivia has experienced triumph and significant setbacks in life. With multiple encounters (she wouldn't call them fights) with cancer, she speaks from experience when dealing with treatments-very unorthodox treatments she has undergone.

She is also an outspoken environmental advocate.While many celebrity bios are written by young people at the height of their fame, ONJ writes as one who has more years behind her than ahead of her. She writes of her victories, but also of her suffering and loss, and her losses have been significant.

She is resilient, optimistic, and somewhat unorthodox, but her life radiates positive energy and love for people and animals.
