Talk about threading the needle.When there are 5 or 6 Osmonds doing harmony simultaneously like a six-lane freeway, everyone must stay in their own lanes or else it's a six-car pileup. The cycle of vibratos must touch -down evenly or you'll lose the continuity of the melody and with 5 and 6 on the floor, you teeter on the 7th and 9th positions of chords which changes the face entirely, which is the difference between Andre the Giant and Shirley Temple.
Also, I think the Osmonds were more wholesome cause they had a good father. Anyone notice you just dont see music lasting like the good ole days anymore. So many reality shows that every year now they come and go and someone new comes along.
But back then they started without these so called american idol, SYTYCD, Dance crew, and etc. None of the big ones needed any of that and hm those r the ones still around. examples, Cher, Madonna, MJ, Osmonds, Aerosmith, rest is history. The best
How many Osmonds were there? I thought only 6 and I grew up with them and the J5. I dont know why people say the osmonds copied the J. They both have there own originality, and I am sure that neither one of them want to be compared. They want to be liked for themselves , there own songs and stage shows. And that they are. Gotta love these brothers and sisters that have the talent to still be around. God bless them and all the power to them.
There are 9 all together. 8 boys and 1 girl. The 2 oldest Virl and Tom didnt perform because they are both deaf. Olive started The Children's Miracle network 27 years ago this year because of the 2 that are deaf.
Merrill's vocal performances were impressing, amazing, when he was 18. He was at his peak when the Osmonds recorded the "Phase 3" album in 1971. "Yo Yo" is pure balls. But something has really happened and he is forced to sing in lower keys, even though he can still do that singing once in a while.
@alexeimichailowsky unfortunately...its called "age"..happens to all of us...Bon Jovi is about my age(47) and you think he can hit that high note in "Living on a Prayer"??
thats my favorite osmond song but to be they seemed a little out of tune especially marie, she did not seem to be able to sing the harmony and sang lower than she usually does. But I just love the osmonds.
But what the hey! There the Osmonds and they perfected their sound years ago at the dining room table!

Dig Alan up there leaning on a cane, his MS not keeping him from the party at all. What courage.

Merrill's voice doesn't sound the same anymore. If I weren't watching, I wouldn't have thought it was him singing.
