Both radial and low degree and order g-mode nonradial pulsations are predicted for luminous blue variables that occur in the blue supergiant region of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. It is found that the radial strange modes have very large growth rates due to helium ionization in models at surface effective temperatures between 10,000 and 20,000 K.
