I guess remembering that I really liked the Osmonds & other"teenybopper" groups has allowed me to be ok with Justin Bieber... He really seems to be a fairly decent kid...
We live in an "autotune" universe..You dont even have to be ABLE to sing..just look pretty/handsome doing it, and let the recording studio take care of it..That's NOT the kind of music I wanna listen to..Bunch of fakers... This era, this type of actual performances, we will never see again....
this is one man wh's really dedicated to music. he didnt just give up when his voice changed and he grew up- he kept right on sinigng dancing and making people laugh at the fun he and Marie had on thier tv show, went on to Broadway, and continues to sing,dance, and entertain on the Donny & Marie show today when most people would retire. Donny is as talented as ever
all you young things that are rubbishing this need to try and understand that this was how it was in the 70's.....our sisters,nieces,mothers et al loved this band of brothers,so cut them a little slack guys huh?!?.......give them the respect that they more than deserved during that time in life!!!!!!
The Justin Bieber Team needs to work very much harder if they want him to be appealing as the very adorable and talented Donny Osmond we see here. His songwriters need to improve and compose more melodious and catchy songs to be able to rival the popularity of Donny Osmond's many hits.
I'M 47 STILL HAVE MY FIRST OSMOND ALBUM.....HE WAS THE BIEBER OF OUR TIME....THE WAY OUR HEARTS PITTER PATTERED, THATS THE WAY THE GIRLS NOWADAYS R OVER JUSTIN...I CAN UNDERSTAND IT...LOL...MY 5 YR OLD GD SAYS NANA HE IS FINE....WELLLLLLLL OK....SO NANA SET HER UP WITH THE BEIBER FEVER ITEMS...ROFL..WISH WE WOULDA HAD ALLL THAT KINDA STUFF WITH DONNY BACK THEN.....
i was completely in love with this guy,when i was a teenager.And i get tears in my eyes when i se this video,and remember howe i felt,when i look at pictueres of him.
It was not many conserts on tv in Norway these days,so i had posters of him covered the wall in my room, Hehe And i listen to my casett called crazy hourses :D By The Osmonds
this guys better then justin bieber but i just wish i was born in that lifetime 2g2 his concerts i wouldve been awesome do u hear all of the gurls cheering ITS CRAZY lolzzzzz
Donny is a great singer and has a wonderful stage pressence. it's not pure talent either, it takes alot pf practice and vocal control to sing this well without technology to cover mistakes or autotune to help. and he's still singing today, from early rock hits to Braodway to his own music he's amazing
All I recall is how utterly lame the "Donny & Marie Show" was. It was so sugery and hokey it could potentially send you into the nightmarish depths of diabetic shock. Ice skaters, balloons, confetti, and jokes in the opening monologue that were so embarrassingly bad even Henny Youngman would have said, "Hell, no."
@flowerchild1260 Cause he is the modern Donny, But HONESTLY I"VE NEVER HEARD JUSTI"NS CROwD SCREAM THAT LOUD!!!!!!! (I'm typing in caps to make it seem like I'm shouting over Osmond's screamingfans)
OK I bought this '45' and went into my room and Played it forever
OK so I bought this '45' and closed my bedroom door and played it forever on my record player and actually thought he and I would be together someday. It's what every young girl dreams of. Tiger Beat..Sixteen Magazine. Those were the days. Still love him.
so many memories, i cherish the osmonds in my heart for ever especialy Donny every girls dream. thank you so much for those memories that will stay for ever in my mind and heart.
Donny was one of my favorite singers from the 70s I do vocal impressions of this song and also Puppy Love not on the money but in the ballpark you listen and comment after I post it, in the mean time check out my video Valley Of The Fountains Blessings ..........
Just let me say, I loved the Osmonds. I was crazy for Merrill. And to piggy-back on my previous post, I guess The Temptations couldn't really be called a 'boy-band' because there was no doubt, those were full grown men.......you got to be more careful!!!
Uhhhhh I hate to break this to you but Motown had boy bands down pat before the Beatles hit. Matter of fact the Beatles listened to Motown. The Temptations (just to mention my faves, and only one group of a few) were doing their thing long before the British Invasion. I'm just saying......no disrespect to The Beatles, they were wonderful.
The Osmonds are all awesome. They always will be and always have been great. They are not corny, they are timeless. They are not has beens, they are legends. I dont care what some critics or naysayers think or say. You cannot deny talent. and the Osmonds all have IT!
GO AWAY LITTLE GIRL: I drove my brother Martin crzy playing Donny Osmond 24/7..He hated Donny so much that he would take my 45's and throw them out the bedroom window like freezbees...LOL
@rlhavasu I grew to like this song only recently - but I'd never thrown my sister's Donny Osmond album out of a window. I respected her too much - plus I liked Donny's other songs back then. What a jerk your brother was. I am sure he is sorry - so I will shut up now!
@kerjan1 Was this 1970, 1971, or 1972? Someone may have already answered this question. Google will tell us of course - but I am too sleepy to look it up!
Who the hell is Justin Bieber??? LOL...I am out of the loop - don't watch "mod" TV anymore....Donny Osmond was my first crush and I still love to listen to him and his brothers now and then!! Wish I was 13 again and felt that sort of puppy love ;)
Okay... jus sayin'.... HATED DONNY OSMOND bc my sister was CRAZY about him and his stupid PURPLE!!!! hahahahhahaa!!! I CRIED at the concert I HAD to go to w/her!!!!
no wonder they sounded so good live. that was their training on so many shows, tv and live. Not like today. Same with the Jacksons. They came up on the Chitlin circuit where if you didn't blow people away live they would have never gotten to Motown.
This is strange to hear that squeeky young voice when I know he is almost as old as me. He is 52 I am 59. I covered the song as well but I did it in the original Steve Lawrence fashion.
well i love this song now . but when i was little my mom and my borther would sing go away little girl and i did not like it but i was little and they was playing around with me . but love donny and i love the song now
I was and have always been a donny fan, the first record i ever owned was Puppy love in 1972 when i was p, i eventually got to see him when i was 45 in Vegas bo handsome even now x
A well oiled little machine. I was into Coltrane and Hendrix in the 60's, had no space for the Osmonds of course, they were packaged for young girls. BUT, I do know what it takes to pull of this type of show day in and day out with no end in sight, A lot of work is what it takes. No one can say they didn't earn their keep.
I have loved Donny since I was 12. Something about him makes you want to marry him no matter how old he gets!! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. God I was crazy about him back then!!!!
I wore the 45 of this out! Made myself crazy singing it all the time, and I'm a girl! Love it, so glad I was raised back then! Always the Osmonds! Met him at the Borders here in NYC, looks awesome up close, very handsome guy. Lucky wife of his!

My first concert when I was 8 years old was the Osmonds in Chattanooga TN at Chamberlain field....1972. They were fucking great. suprisingly talented it is soo cool to see them again, like that!
they had a concert in Knoxville Tn and My dad a Sargent for the police dept was doing security and he got me back stage to meet them .. A memory I will never forget got a drum stick and a purple scarf
It only took 37 years, but Donny finally sang this song to me on my birthday. Sigh... though it was hard to hear him tell me to go away. LOL! Love this one.
im 45 and not ashamed to say how i loved donny and the osmonds, and watched them in the last few months (21/11/09) and they are as great as they were in the 70's love'm all to bits xxx
Ahh. Donny was my first love. I still swoon when I see this. I saw the Osmonds in concert in 1975. It was my first concert, and from then on I was hooked. So happy to see he's being loved and recognized again. He's a sweetheart.
I have a very good friend that was a huge Donny Osmond fan, even had purple socks! I was a Shaun Cassidy fan as well, so it looks like we picked two winners. Both are still as hot today as they were then!!!
I loved the Osmonds I still have all the albums from the 70s. I saw them in St Louis in 1971 or so. I was going to marry Jay and my friend Gayle (R.I.P.) was going to marry Merrill. We were really going to Utah to find them. lol ,,,so young and silly.. Im 54 now.... wow
Donny was my first crush too-I think I was 7 or 8 (43 now). Okay it was a toss up between Donny, Leif and Shawn Cassidy (I also had a crush on Gopher on Love Boat-kinda twisted huh?)
I wish I had all my Tiger Beat posters, but I have quite a few on my walls now that I am never going to part with. The Osmonds rock! I fell in love with Donny when I was nine years old, and never fell out of love with him!
my room was covered in posters of DONNY.wall to wall. I had so many, I recently was going through some of my donny albums and found several posters. I use to have a habit of folding my posters and sticking them in the albums. After 30 years, I had forgotten I had put them away, talk about a thrill finding them again,
Wish I had my posters too. I think I have a box of old Tiger Beats in a box somewhere. Should find them and pick out some of the pictures. Well I am about to put up my Donny Osmond calendar up for 2010 so I can look at his beautiful face everyday. Still have my Donny doll sitting on top of my tv. Great to hear how much other fans still love him and always will.
@bsheffer1 i would LOVE to see some old tiger beat books im 48 now and i still LOVE donny i had his and david cassidy posters all over my walls in my room when i was young ive lost all my posters and magazines over the years but i would LOVE to know where i could get a tiger beat,i love knowing theres still donny fans out there weve stayed true to donny
I have all the posters but some are stuck together - I was the same! Same age as you and this is the voice I fell in love with. Isn't it great that Donny is still going strong!
What memories! I remember seeing Donny perform here in Toronto, ON, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! He was fab! It was for my birthday (this was quite a few years back - late 90's or maybe early 2000's) and I even went backstage and stood outside and waited for him to come out and voila! I met him - I kissed him on his cheek and met his new doggie at the time, who was trying to get away! He was so cute! He also posed with me and I have a picture of him and I. He is so hot!
Such Great Memories! Fell instantly in love when he sang puppy love! Wish I could go back relive it one day! Buy Tiger Beat! Seventeen! Those were the days!
Donny was my FIRST Crush back then... He was Gorgeous THEN and moreso NOW... and I agree that the Osmonds WERE the 1st "boyband" MANY years ago... brings back memories, Donny, Donny and Marie, and the Osmonds PLASTERED my bedroom walls, had all the Tiger Beat and 16 magazines with him and Michael Jackson gracing the covers (RIP MJ, u r missed, grew up on you as well, and your music and dance live on through the ages as well... Moonwalk across the heavens now MJ...); this is "bittersweet"...
@vazq335112000 I often tell my daughter that its too bad the young girls don't have a "Donny" of today. They don't like Justin Beiber and he doesn't measure up anyway. Not even close!
I really beg to differ with you on that comment....although incredible talented in the 70's...my money still goes to the Beatles as being the first actual "boyband" in the 60's and many other were from that era...hermans hermits,dave clark 5 just to name a couple...my daughters are both fans of Donny having met him in Edmonton during his dreamcoat day....an incredible performer and a absolute gem in person
I remember Donny being 13 and I was 8 when this song came out. At that time, I really thought I could sing like him. LOL. This is vintage classic and I really appreciate seeing this posted here. Thank you ever so much. Still love Donny today.
There was a point when Donny had to stop singing this song.

Ahh. Donny was my first love. I still swoon when I see this. I saw the Osmonds in concert in 1975. It was my first concert, and from then on I was hooked. So happy to see he's being loved and recognized again. He's a sweetheart.

Donny was my first crush too-I think I was 7 or 8 (43 now). Okay it was a toss up between Donny, Leif and Shawn Cassidy (I also had a crush on Gopher on Love Boat-kinda twisted huh?)

I wish I had all my Tiger Beat posters, but I have quite a few on my walls now that I am never going to part with. The Osmonds rock! I fell in love with Donny when I was nine years old, and never fell out of love with him!
2Catangel 2 years ago 23
my room was covered in posters of DONNY.wall to wall. I had so many, I recently was going through some of my donny albums and found several posters. I use to have a habit of folding my posters and sticking them in the albums. After 30 years, I had forgotten I had put them away, talk about a thrill finding them again,
vinyl45junkie 2 years ago 4
Wish I had my posters too. I think I have a box of old Tiger Beats in a box somewhere. Should find them and pick out some of the pictures. Well I am about to put up my Donny Osmond calendar up for 2010 so I can look at his beautiful face everyday. Still have my Donny doll sitting on top of my tv. Great to hear how much other fans still love him and always will.

What memories! I remember seeing Donny perform here in Toronto, ON, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! He was fab! It was for my birthday (this was quite a few years back - late 90's or maybe early 2000's) and I even went backstage and stood outside and waited for him to come out and voila! I met him - I kissed him on his cheek and met his new doggie at the time, who was trying to get away! He was so cute! He also posed with me and I have a picture of him and I. He is so hot!

Donny was my FIRST Crush back then... He was Gorgeous THEN and moreso NOW... and I agree that the Osmonds WERE the 1st "boyband" MANY years ago... brings back memories, Donny, Donny and Marie, and the Osmonds PLASTERED my bedroom walls, had all the Tiger Beat and 16 magazines with him and Michael Jackson gracing the covers (RIP MJ, u r missed, grew up on you as well, and your music and dance live on through the ages as well... Moonwalk across the heavens now MJ...); this is "bittersweet"...

@vazq335112000 I often tell my daughter that its too bad the young girls don't have a "Donny" of today. They don't like Justin Beiber and he doesn't measure up anyway. Not even close!
KSitz77 1 year ago
@KSitz77 I agree with you here. Too bad little girls don't have a "Donny" today.
It's sad girls have lost this kind of innocence we had then. ( I was still in grade school when the Osmonds hit it big-so I was a little girl.)

@DERedhead65
I really beg to differ with you on that comment....although incredible talented in the 70's...my money still goes to the Beatles as being the first actual "boyband" in the 60's and many other were from that era...hermans hermits,dave clark 5 just to name a couple...my daughters are both fans of Donny having met him in Edmonton during his dreamcoat day....an incredible performer and a absolute gem in person
