Hello, my fellow Livvy fans; I am so happy I found this site! Only wish I found it sooner! First of all, thank you all so much for your wonderful feedback on my Tribute to ONJ video. 300 hits in seven hours! As I mentioned, this piece was a labour of love for me. I had a blast editing it, but it was very labour intensive finding all the right shots that were also HQ. Ive been a video editor for the past seven years, but Ive never as focussed and passionate about getting it just right as I was on this one. The reason I decided to put this together occurred when I attended Olivias fantastic Summer Nights show in Vegas back in April. Olivia continues to dazzle me with her effortless charm, sweetness and angelic voice (which only seems to get better with age. How does she do it?). My only criticism with the show were the montages that played during her costume changes. They lacked the spunk and energy that she had ignited with her dynamic renditions of all her classic songs. I When I expressed this to my friend, Tom, he was the one that planted the seed by saying Why dont you edit a video for her yourself? From that moment on, I was determined to bust out my finest work. Ive had a really difficult time getting a copy of the piece to Olivia. I was able to contact Matt Lattanzi, her Manager and her Agent who were all very impressed by my work. Her agent at CAA, Michael Caprio assured me that he will for sure send this on to Olivia and be sure she sees it. I know that Olivias schedule is busier than ever these days with the extension of Summer Nights, her upcoming performances in Florida, and the many fundraiser events for cancer research. At this point, my only wish is that she sees it. Ive been captivated by her since she lit up the screen with her knockout performance in Grease back in 1978. Ive followed her career since then and am well aware that she has had quite her share of tragedies and obstacles in her life. What I always found remarkable about her, was her refusal to defeat her while retaining suck strength and grace. I created the video as a declaration of admiration, love and respect for the person who added so much joy to my life with her music and just being her. All I ask of you, my fellow Livvy fans, is if you were touched or moved by my piece at all, please share it with EVERYBODY. Lets make it go viral so eventually she cant help but watch it! I really do believe shell enjoy it. If not, its time to find another profession. Your Hopelessly Devoted Fan, Eric Thigpen youtu.be/cBnvH-aeBKM?list=PLZu_dYb_oQV9MTs_GUbrQsC7lu_OC3dJD
