  • just love this song and donny. he justs make your heart melt and make you get so lost in his eyes. just love him.

  • I remember when a dee jay first played this song a lot of people did not believe it was Donny Osmond. It wasn't until they saw the video that many saw it was really him. Way to go Donny1

  • I would have loved to have gone on a date with Donny..I would have given Debbie a run for her money...:)

  • I remember Donny Osmond when he was just a kid with his Osmond brothers. A big hit. I had their albums. They like mirror another brother group: The Jackson five.

  • a veri calming song although it's sad., i really like this..

  • Nice version of this cover.

  • Lately when I'm feeling like visiting a nearby tower, this song from our old "friend" has been a comfort.

    Thanks for sharing this, and I don't believe I've written "sharing" before, haha

  • I appericate Donny so much more now than I was young, and we`re the same age.

  • This is Gilbert O'Sullivan's hit song from 1973

  • @TheCapricornStrand I think that it was 1972

  • This is Gilbert O'Sullivan's hit song from 1973

  • Good cover--would be better to stay true to the original lyric.

  • Donny you need to keep singing. It doesn't matter what you sing. You always knew how to nail a song to perfection. I grew up singing all of your songs. I would play them over, and over We need more clean cut singers with good morals. My sister played your latest CD She said, Guess whose singing I guessed it right off the back. I've always loved your voice. So keep singing my sweet friend! Make more cds. ( albums) lol remember the day they were records, and we used a record player.

  • Thank you for posting this!

  • sounds great

  • I'm very impressed.....

  • There are so many bad covers of this song - Donny makes a fair fist of it. Doesn't make it too falsely sweet, and mostly doesn't overwork the delivery. Good arrangement too. G O'S (who wrote it) is still the gold standard, and someone who understands that more can sometimes be less (vocally) in songs like this, and a gritty, natural delivery preferable to smooth virtuosity; but this is definitely worth listening to. But check out the original for its distinctiveness and out-there honesty.

  • really beatiful, no sabia que Donny cantaba esta hermosa canción....

  • the origional is so much better

  • Gilbert song is nice but this version is more nicer

  • Donny was a dream to us girls in the 6th grade in 1970-71 school year. He has only grown more handsome. He's like Dick Clark was for so long, never aging.

  • Not Gilbert but surprisingly good.

  • aaahhhhh....He Is Fabulous!!  Love you 4-ever, Donny!!

  • I gotta give credit where credit is due- The man can flat out sing!!

  • Ive never been a fan of Donny Osmond.......

    I was listening to Pink Floyd in his halcyon days.......Ive always loved this song and have to say he did a great Job with it.....He retained the essence of the emotion....well done Donny.....never thought i would ever say that

  • He has such a good voice

  • casi no me gustan los covers, es dificil poder aceptar uno cuando adoras la cancion original,, pero aun q adoro la original esta me encanto!!! =)

    muy bien hecha*

  • I like this version.. and I like the original version as well. No need to say leave classics alone.. If you like it you like it, if you don't you don't. Thumbs up to both of these awesome versions.. the comedic Ice age 3 version is nice too.

  • Great song!! Donny Osmond does an excellent version of this song... its not very often that a remake tops the original, but i believe this is one of those very rare occasions.

  • opinions: which version is the best? =D Opinions plz

  • Donny is the very best. 

  • thank you donny for all the wonderful years

  • I would like to hear George Michael sing this!

  • why say donny song when its not his,,as a song writter i hate that

  • @stuthebru I'm not saying that this is Donny's 'song I'm just letting the searcher know that this clip is a song only and not a video. I know that this is not Donny's 'song'.

  • @lynjef7 Thanks 4 the review..so how is sing it? Thanks for the vid... from Mexico

    

  • Alone Again (Naturally), na voz do Donny, ficou linda!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is shit.......

  • I like his music, but since im only 17, my best memories of him are on "Johnny Bravo". I used to love that show lol

  • the legend Donny Osmond , it's great for always.

  • this is a classic by gilbert o'sullivan, and although donny is a good singer; i feel that classics should be left alone.

  • @MrNathan791

    I agree to some extent. A lot of the Classics would never be heard however if there were never any covers. By listening to this one I am sure G.O.S's version might never have been dicovered by the younger crowd.

  • luv this song!

  • My always Donny Osmond.... never will forget you...

  • Great One Donny Love this Version! x

  • Nice cover. BUT PLEASE!! remember the originel from GILBERT O´SULLIVAN. That man is so great. Really!!!!

  • I love this SO much. I have lost my husband and this is how I feel all the time now

  • I love Donny!!! I saw him at Las Vegas (2006)!! It was amazing!!! I want to see him this year!!!

  • lynjef7!!!!!!!! thank you for posting.

  • what a lovely voice, very touching

  • not bad at all, realy good cover :)

  • Suprisinely he sounds ok, however I like Gilbert O'Sullivan version.

  • GENIAL GRAN VOZ

  • Magnifique chanson

  • Donny Osmond gets better and better with each passing year-much more of an artist than some give him credit for.

  • @rickw1100 I agree... Donny is one of the most under credited singers... thats not to say he isnt well know for his talent, he just deserves so much more credit.

  • @rickw1100 Agree, Rick. Recently saw him do a medley of his bubblegum stuff on Graham Norton. His timing and phrasing was excellent and he had the audience captivated. He's never been better.

  • It's a pretty bland version of a good G O'S song

  • I did not previously know that Donny covered this song. I find it rather odd that he would cover a song about committing suicide.

  • i like it VERY MUCH.

  • i love donny osmond

  • good job Donny!

    it just as good as original!!

    another kind of feeling

  • Can't think of a ballad that Donny sang that I didn't love. Thanks for posting.

  • slowing it down makes it more effective....good job donny

  • LOVE YOU DONNY!!!!!

  • I adore Donny but only Gilbert can get that desparately lonely tone in his voice while singing this song. Good job though, Donny.

  • is wonderful song

    i like the music

    is very good

    jejejejejejej

  • It is most for sure Donny. Take it from a long time fan this is DONNY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds like Donny to me. I have always envied his voice. Great vocal range and phrasing.

    I grew up listening to "Go Away Little Girl", and "Puppy Love" and loved those songs.

    Years later, on his "Donny & Marie" variety show, he performed a rendition of "Baby Come Back" that blew me away.

    Great singer and an awesome person.

  • me too, grew up with him!!

  • doesnt sound like Donny

  • this doesn't sound like Donny, either!

  • Très belle version d'une chanson que j'ai découverte très récemment et qui est rapidement devenue une de mes préférées...

  • Donny Osmond was like michael jackson a prodigy singer of the Osmond brothers. Listen to when he was a kid. One of my favaorite singers back in the days.....

  • Good version Donny... nice arrangement...

  • great voice....great song

  • listened to it again and i still get goosebumps. can anyone even come close to his talent.  he brings tears to my eyes.

  • I agree.. Donnie Osmond is a legend.. a great preformer...and he did this song justice!

  • wow, he doe's a fantastic job, i love this song.

  • Always a wonderful entertainer and this song always one of my favorites. A+!

  • In my humble opinion, nobody can touch this guy. He's an amazing performer, with a perfect voice. Been a fan for over 40 years now.

  • I bought the album recently and I just love Donny's version.

  • what a great find on youtube.. .thank you so much! This is one of he most moving songs and really enjoy listening to Dinnie Osmond's version (love Shirley Bassie's too, and can't forget Gilbert O'Sullivan...)

  • Well, O'Sullivan wrote it,you should seek out the version by Pete Wylie(The Mighty Wah!),full on emotion,like Pete says it's the cruelest suicide note ever and if the likes of Curt Cobain had written it it would be treated much differently than a twat in a flat cap

  • FINALLY - I have NOW bought a copy of this album......YAY.

  • LYN this really is a lovely picture...where do you get it?

    Really do need to get this album!!!
