What is "olivia"

fem. proper name, from Italian Olivia, from Latin oliva "olive" (see olive).

Olivia Theresa Longott (born February 15, 1981 in Brooklyn, New York, U.S.), professionally known as Olivia, is an American R&B singer best known for contributing vocals to 50 Cent's hit single " Candy Shop" and her debut album Olivia. She was also known as a regular cast member in the first three seasons (2011–13) of the VH1 reality television series Love & Hip Hop: New York.

Olivia is the debut album by American R&B singer Olivia. It was released on May 15, 2001, by J Records. Olivia was known as "the First Lady of J" as she was the first artist signed to the label. Promotional efforts for the album associated Olivia with a provocative image. The record is a primarily hip hop and R&B record, with lyrical themes that revolve largely around sexuality and romance. It features guest vocals from American rapper Petey Pablo and American R&B singer Jimmy Cozier. Olivia received comparisons to music by rapper Lil' Kim and R&B singers Aaliyah and Mýa. Olivia later expressed disappointment with her lack of control over the recording and promotion of the album and felt she was limited to a "bad girl" image by label executives. After promoting the album, Olivia left the label and was invited to join G-Unit Records by its founder 50 Cent.

The album received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Olivia's attitude while rapping and singing, though some criticized the record's inconsistency, and Olivia's lack of connection to the material. The album was moderately successful in the United States, peaking at number 55 on the Billboard 200 and number 22 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.

" Bizounce" was released as the lead single from Olivia on March 20, 2001, and peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The second single "Are U Capable" was released on July 3, 2001; "You Got the Damn Thing (I Like) Remix", a remix of the album track "You Got the Damn Thing", was serviced as the third and final single from the record later that same year. Olivia further promoted the album through several performances on television and live shows and a promotional tour prior to its release.

"Olivia" is the first episode of the third season of the American science fiction television series Fringe. The episode was co-written by J. H. Wyman and Jeff Pinkner, and was directed by Joe Chappelle. The third season spent its time alternating between the prime and parallel universes, and "Olivia" was placed in the latter. This is indicated in the introduction of the episode, with the same red screen used in the last season's finale, " Over There". "Olivia" follows the cliffhanger left by the second season, in which Olivia Dunham is trapped in the parallel universe. The episode explores the consequences of Olivia's abduction by Walternate, and her attempt to go back to the prime universe.

Though Fox was initially worried about an entire episode set in the other universe, they soon came to appreciate the storyline. The episode included the first appearances of guest actors Andre Royo and Amy Madigan, who would both appear in several later episodes. It first aired in the United States on Fox in September 23, 2010, receiving almost all positive reviews due to the combination of emotional storylines, suspense, action, and humor. Many thought it was a good indicator of what the rest of the season had to offer, while others appreciated the numerous popular culture references that set the two universes apart.
