“We love ya, Olivia,” headlined the New
York Daily News, but the New York
Times took a less enthusiastic view of the
Australian bred pop singer Olivia
Newton-John. After her sell-out concert
at the Metropolitan Opera House, Times
critic John Rockwell wrote that Olivia’s
“demonstrable niceness buoys up her
minimal art,” but added: “Why
America’s apparent need for a female
pop singer who blends images of the
crinolined, antebellum South with the
buoyancy of a modern-day Texas
cheerleader should be fulfilled by
somebody from England by way of
Australia remains one of life’s minor
mysteries.” A local gossip columnist
noted that the singer was unattached
since she broke up with her manager,
but decided that “she won’t be for long.”

mysteries to the New York Times.
