Directed by: Unknown
Hopelessly Devoted to You is a heartfelt duet performed live by Mariah Carey and Olivia Newton-John during Carey’s Butterfly World Tour in Melbourne, Australia, on February 13, 1998. Originally written by John Farrar and featured in the 1978 film *Grease*, the song was a signature hit for Newton-John. During the concert, Carey began the performance solo, expressing her admiration for Newton-John and recounting how she once won a talent contest singing the song. Midway through, she surprised the audience by introducing Newton-John, who joined her on stage to complete the duet. This memorable collaboration was included in Carey’s 1999 concert video *Around the World* and later featured on Newton-John’s posthumous 2023 album *Just the Two of Us: The Duets Collection (Vol. 1)*. The performance stands as a touching tribute to Newton-John’s enduring legacy and the artists’ mutual respect.
