Hopelessly Devoted to You is one of my Karaoke songs.

Another great loss.

It's so hard to see so many actors you grow up watching passing away.

This makes me sad. F cancer!

Oh, that's too bad. Thirty years is a long time to deal with cancer!

I loved her song Physical as a kid even though I was clueless about its real meaning.

Oh no! I just watched Grease this weekend and used to love Xanadu.

So sad.

Breast cancer cells can lie dormant for many years before they spread. She was NED (no evidence of disease) for 25 years.

I'm saddened to see this, but frankly more shocked that I haven't seen more coverage of this. The only thing I saw before this post was a post on facebook from Hugh Jackman, and I watched the news for a while tonight and scrolled a ton of social media.

I am very very sad. I remember when she became popular in the early 70's. She did a remake of Bob Dylan's song "If Not For You" so she would have been around 23. She had the voice of an angel. RIP Olivia.

There was a 60 second spot on my local news tonight. It's also been posted to major media outlets like cnn.com and bbc.com.

It's about aerobics right? That's what 5 yr old me pretended to do while listening to my record of it over and over.

There are certain deaths that just REALLY make me sad even if I've never met the person. This was one. There's been way too many lately.

It was all over my social media: national and local.

Of course it's about aerobics!! That's what I thought when I was about 5-6.
