CLOSE EVERY DOOR - Donny Osmond

[graygray135]

AMAZING :D

[claaaareeee]

@danileanora i die at 2:45. so good hahah

[blessingann]

he is so cute and what a amazing voice

[kaufmanbaby]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[sopranoms]

It makes me cry and it's a song I cannot not perform becase I am woman.

[TheEmilyrose15]

when he sings this song it brings tears to my eyes every single time without fail! Holy Joseph I love Donny Osmond!

[danileanora]

2:45 - 3:11

YES

[catkisser]

And he is now doing talk show crap?? What a waste of an incredible voice. I would love to see him in many Broadway leads.

[crazywildchild1]

I have been in LOVE with Donnie ever since i first saw joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat at age 4... i used to ask my mom if we could go to Ohio to visit him

[TheOnlyAlexandra]

people tend to underestimate him, he is as a good as any singer ALW ever used, still better than Murry Head... and WAY better than his 70's show...today's singers are so so...no one really cares about voices anymore, it is all image....

[DylanBacskayDavis]

CHILLS ALL UP AND DOWN

[greenwell1231]

It's a well known fact the presure of performing in "joseph"everynight caused Donny to develope severe stage fright and thus give up the roll. He was always known as one take Osmand and the presures of being perfect everynight was just to much. Damn Donny, on your worst night you are incredable. I had forgotten what a temendous voice you have.May god always smile on you!!!

[Radians51]

4 people are tone deaf!

[spartygrl15]

Every time I listen to or watch him sing this, I get a million shivers and I want to cry. He's perfect.

[shawskiknight]

Gives me shivers every time I hear it! Such a beautiful voice, and he makes it look so effortless.

[WaistHighView]

It is late here and I'vepromised myself about 5 times now that it would be the last time that I listen to this xD

I just can't get enough!

[OscarMoeRuffus]

The best version ever of this song.



[dragonheart333]

he should play the Phantom of the opera I would pay for that

[Coconoot54]

how the hell did he do this live without cracking? jeezus.

[njo425]

@Coconoot54 cause he is the bomb :)

[missno1chocoholic]

he looks slightly gay... but grrrr8 song and uh-may-zing voice

[Luigi9227]

im doing this fr scool and i have to sing this on my own...{=-(

[SorceressZila]

Tim Rice helped write this?

Well no wonder I love the music!

[QueenBeatlesWings]

@SorceressZila AN\ndrew Lloyd Webber wrote the music, tim Rice wrote the lyrics. that's how it is for many musicals by Webber and other composers. Tim Rice almost always writes the lyrics and someone else writes the music.

[BrettsMusic2009]

damn

[LSChristie]

Awesome diction, phrasing and emotion. This man is quite a talent barring all the teasing about his purple socks from the TV show back in the 70s. I was in the first row in Chicago watching him perform for this show. He spent most of it in a loincloth. Yowsa!  :D

[Flarshmallow]

i saw this on the home page and thought it might be a magic act....way waaaaaaaay off....

[irene1ization]

He's even better than the heart throb he was to me and my sister in the 70s!!

Sensational voice. Great to see he hasn't been ravaged by the excesses of so many of his contemporaries.

[xpinkdogx]

4 people don't know how to sing...or have laringitis ....

[jetcola35]

One of my fav bible peeps! Donny did an awesome job

[Footloose4ever]

I love this musical. We did last year for our play and it was the best one my school did. This song is my favorite. I give you more than 5 stars, Donny.

[chernathan]

his voice is good!!!!!

[dotesgirl]

The voice of an angel.

[jferrante42]

This is such an amazing song! 

[olibella]

He has an amazing voice!

[vianstetch]

Me too, makes me cry, sooo much better live !!!

[lordfoxy23]

I Wouldnt Mind Seeing Donny Playing The Phantom x

[lisaannejane2]

@lordfoxy23 I think he would amazing in that role. He should definitely do musicals with such a great voice.

[jimraw1]

@lisaannejane2 He played Gaston In Beauty and the Beast for six months in 2006. Donny suffers from Social Anxiety Disorder, something he discovered during his five years doing Joseph. You're not likely to see him do another musical for awhile because he and Marie are doing a show at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas through Oct. 2012.

[queenme222]

@lordfoxy23 Not a chance in hell

[MegaFreeSpeech]

I WANT TO SING LIKE HIM. GOD GIVE ME A SINGING VOICE LIKE HIS!!

[SexyLibrarians]

i wish andrew lloyd webber weren't dead cuz he was my fav musician ever he was rally good rip alw ur always w ith me

ps donny is soooooo hot

[Jozzie1987]

@SexyLibrarians WHOA!!! where did you hear that? Andrew Lloyd Webber is alive and still writing.

[Jozzie1987]

@SexyLibrarians lol, though it's funny that he's your "fav musician ever" and you don't even know if he's dead or alive

[SexyLibrarians]

@Jozzie1987 o shiiiiiiiiiiii'

[queenandcorgis]

@SexyLibrarians

he isn't dead... yet. Go search wikipedia if you don't believe me.

[dancetothemusic1818]

I LOVE HIM!

[passionfruitprincess]

The BEST Joseph ever!

[heatty2008]

Favourite song in the whole musical. Best song to.

[keybird76]

very underrated singer.....donny's got back!!!

[perschka1]

Donny was by far the very best Joseph. He has such a powerful voice.

[breanna4567890]

this song is meant to mean hes remembering all the bad memories and telling himself to start over xD i learned this in music because my music teachers daughter is in it all summer and she played this song :D

[ritlagaboma]

What a sweety voice!

Love it!

Thanks for posting!

[ClassicsWEREandARE]

my my my...that was gorgeous! love it!

[annajoy2009]

He is THE Joseph.

[SHillard79]

Gives me goosebumps everytime!!! Love it Love it Love it

[CapoMaco]

Amazing Donny.

[iloveclarkk]

when was this though?

[EzriTigan]

amazing :)

[ronaldosucks1]

donny should do a Sinatra thing--he has the voice etc and is adaptable vocally!!

[jferrante42]

Great performance.

[dylanbrady07]

Thinking of singing this for an audition for the Sound of Music! Would it be a good choice?

[ThEcAtScAmEbAcK]

1:49...makes me laugh for some reason

Beautiful song :D

[Kissyxblythe]

looovvveee :)

i love him

[5723maddy]

Wow, very nice.

[perschka1]

Donny is by far the very best. I bet he could even do opera with a little training.

[Anissa116]

Happy Birthday Donny, you have a voice no one can touch!!!!! This song brings me to tears it's so good.

[sadiejo68]

I love Donny!! Love the play!! He is sooo HOT!!! I've watched it 3 times in 48 hrs.!! I want to own the dvd!!

[gemmasmith12]

cant you get it on dvd???????????????????

[sadiejo68]

I absolutely love this play, Especially with Donny!!! He's awesome in it and very HOT!!!

[Anissa116]

HOLY GOD, what a voice. I can't stop watching this...he is phenomenal. I love the note he ends on. You go Donny!!!!!!!!!

[tomt1k93]

does anyone know what note that high note he ends on is? you kno the "our OWN"

[jamison850]

It's a high G#

[tomt1k93]

do u mean G4 ( the highest note 4 a baritone)

or do u mean G5 (and extreemly high tenor note)???

yano wht freddie mercury note?

[jamison850]

G sharp 4, which to sustain for as long as he does, is out of almost any baritones voice, and even a lot of tenors.

[LoverofLiszt]

@tomt1k93

According to the sheet music they changed key at 2:30 from F minor to F# minor, and the melody at 2:49 is a E over the chord A7, so the note should be a A4. But according to ear and my piano it´s a B4, witch must mean that this performance were two semitones higher than the original, making the underlying chord a B7, now in the key of G# minor.

Btw, Freddie Mercury´s highest note ever were a F5 "yeah" from All Gods People (1991), but he´s still the greatest male voice of the century.

[kelseyhaha]

the world hasn't seen talent like donny's. He is truly miraculous :)

[mickeymouse8494]

holy guacamole hes got a powerful voice. it makes me want to cry every time i listen to this magic

[blubbafisch]

This guy is a miracle in my eyes. This song is one out of two (the other one is Imagine sung by Declan Galbraith) that I have listened to about 200 or 300 times and didn't get sick of.

Great great great great!!!

Excuse my English.

[miagirl1000]

is it me or does Donny have a melon in his pants...just sayin.WOW

[jooodlez]

i love donny doing this song :) it makes me happy!

[wilsonslass]

phwoar!

[tennislova33]

I heard Donny wants to be Phantom some day! Well Donny u got the fans so go for it!!! U would rock it! :-)

[nojokingbob]

great song and a great talent I love this song and he sings it wonderfully, thanks very much for posting.l

[QuidditchGirl1]

can you PLEASE tell me where you got the song from coz it isnt on itunes and i REALLY want it!

[carsonmarj]

the man can sing

[QuidditchGirl1]

this is my fav version of this song... WHY ISNT IT ON ITUNES!! GRRR!

[TheElleLyn]

Damn, man can sang! Very impressive, very.

[bam1957]

Donny was brilliant in this role. His voice has developed to able to do stage shows. Well done Donny!!!

[littl3jimmy]

Damn that high B at the end is crazy.

[tjolmsy]

well. I'm a little discouraged after watching this. I got the role of Joseph in my high schools play. But we're a school for the arts so were better then high school and after watching this I'm nervous as hell lol.

[breezy501]

You will be fine, just enjoy!

[breezy501]

Again, Donny KILLS this song. Saw him live....GREAT!!! Thank you!

[samwhich55]

best joseph ever. ive seen a lot and always i say 'its just not donny!' he had gotten BETTER with age, if that is even possible!

[tsjrlover]

This is stunning. I saw Donny in Joseph in Toronto Canada many moons ago. It was breath-taking. This scene in particular is unbelievable. Donny is the best and always will be.!!

[jamessimonhudson]

best joseph by a mile

[pazcp85]

omg donny look so hot btw people who

saying donny is gay are crazy and blind

he a real man

[donnylover101]

Whoever is saying donny is gay they are wrong!!!!!!!!!!! I love all the music on this video the andrew llloyd webber celebration of his 50th birthday! Thanks for posting

[kyolover16]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs of this musical and I love Donny's voice for this song.

[olibella]

Wow!

[RequiemofSolance]

it is the only version of the song give me chills when i hear it clearly the best version!

[sdrhead]

Was this song written in a higher key specifically for Donny Osmond? Cuz I usually hear it about a whole step lower. Just curious.

[RremcoOWweelL]

the english musical joseph's just cant sing that hight i gues... becouse the dutch josephs sings even highter , you can search : freek bartels or josh vooijs '' sluit alle deuren maar''

[wickedphant0m]

This performance is a full step higher than the dutch video you are talking about...

[2Catangel]

Who is saying that Donny is gay? They are nuts and way off base here. This was such a great film! I loved all the music.

[DramaClubGirll]

I loove donny! I'm a mormon so I guess it's in my blood. but still this was an amazing role for him!

[JZBW1]

Best Joseph. Seriously good. (: 5*

[firsttenor76]

I recorded myself doing this song, please give me some constructive criticism on it. I'd love to get some feedback on it. It's one of my favorite songs to perform! Anyhow, please check my profile to give it a listen, if you're interested. Thanks in advance!

[DJEJATONE]

Il est tellement surprenant - Et quelle voix exceptionnelle... !!! Ne changez rien Monsieur Osmond - Vous nous manquez en FRANCE-Et Bravo pour cette performance

[JPDELYON]

il fallait etre le 30 Mai 2008 ..à Wembley Arena !!

[megaluckylady]

Just nice to see a child star who has endured and is still very obviously a very 'together' person

[FireOkiami]

IT GAVE ME CHILLS!! Woo! Go Donny, I <3 You!

[Shanelly54]

i love him! <3

5/5*

[ilovepink4life]

This is such a powerful song. I get chills every time I hear Donny sing it.

[mewmewdark5]

@ilovepink4life same with me! i love this song!

[1996gymnasticsfan]

@ilovepink4life You think of him being shirtless in his prison cell? Because if yes, so do I.

[pazcp85]

donny is not gay at all

[d1ssey]

is he gay?

[ilovepink4life]

No, he is not gay. He has a wife a quite a few children. He is LDS (mormon).

[ShadowTwins]

Donny Osmond Rocked this song. I LOVE IT!

[dmitryck]

Афигительно.................!

[pure7fr00b]

i remember at my old school i sang this at the end of a talent show and it was my last day their because i had to move city and i won boy does this song bring back memories... i still remember the other pupils coming up to me coz i was bout crying beautiful song!!!

[carolina776]

wow. i think i have a new obsession now. although i think he looks hotter with longer hair ;]]]

[NaleyTroyella23]

does anyone know if you can buy a DVD of all the performances from this night ?

[gingy0vitus]

yepo you can buy it on amazon for 9.99 ;)

[sisterangel50]

yes most HMV stores or Amazon or try Ebay.

[msmcgregor]

I love this video. Perfect. Such power and control. Gives me chills. And he has short hair which I have to say I much prefer ;)

[kencarl60]

The rise is perfect

[kj61077]

He does so wonderful with this song...but ahhhh...without the shirt is lovely too! ;)

[louffylou]

He is amazing live!!! Just like the cd!!!

[atoodaj]

[megrat06]

a powerful song... and powerful voice! donny osmond is absolutely amazing!

[LlumDeLaVida]

wow, he's great!

Amazing!

[ashrox8]

i'm doing this for my school

[CHKdancer]

ahhh!! this brought back so many good memories :)

[Ravenfire385]

Why are the children in the background holding balloons? And why are only of them green, while the rest of them are white?

[reikbaker123]

Because the green one is an alien! 0.o

:)

[Mantooth101]

Fuck the movie. This sang Live was AWESOME!!!!!

[achmed113]

I like that...they use the part from the movie...Was Joseph in the pharoh's prision or something?

[chocolatelover334]

haha he looks funny when he sings this.

i think he does better in the movie. but its still good.

[joefan89]

are those the kids that were in the movie or different ones?

[kidnflorida]

I'm pretty sure they are different ones.. this is how many years after the movie was made? (I'm actually asking that, not being rude)

[joefan89]

I figured that but I was just asking.

[MKTrny]

Not as good as in the movie but still good.

[KattusJemina]

funny. Donny Osmond with short hair looks a bit stupid, i like him with log hair as he looks as Joseph^^

So now I unterstand why people call my crazy because i like him ;)

[yerkees01]

I seriously never knew how great a voice Donny Osmond had until I saw him in the movie. My school's doing this show, and this is one of, if not only, my favorite songs

[jay9297]

hell no it wasnt. antonio banderas suck compared to michael crawford by the way

[klxxlk]

well yea thats obvious, but give him some credit. Antonio had the look but not the voice, no one can compare them together, its like comparing ferraris to bmws

[klxxlk]

thats the same stage that sarah brightman and antonio banderas performed "phantom of the opera" right...does anyone know ???

[flixgold]

Yes , it was during a show tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber in London.

[klxxlk]

yea i thought so. thank you very much flixgold

[achmed113]

yes it is...in my opinion Antonio was Better in Evita....But he was good as the phantom too.

[caurocks]

wow

amazing

splendid

gorgeous

[shihtzulover24]

Dang, this sure beats Lee's version!

[WombatSlayer2]

A lot. Beats the hell out of it.

Lee is too rough for this song

[icuiidan]

grooveymama2929 - Oh. I feel so bad for you. There have been some serious "questionable" choices for the role of Joseph, until they came up with Donny. Michael Damian, by far, was the worst. He's too "breathy", and has zero power. Then you have Jason Donovan, who recorded the London Cast Recording. He was picked because he was a blond pretty boy popular pop singer. But has ZERO range. Donny will always be the best that ever did this role, because he gave it the justice it deserved.

[aecallah]

That man has got some pipes! NO ONE sings it better than Donny!

[WombatSlayer2]

Anyone notice most of those kids are British

[kishigo2]

It seems like that. but I didn't notice until you pointed it out.

[lijunxing0773]

me neither. actually, 4me, i can never rly pick out a british accent w/ vocal. the music sorta overpowers that.

[yerkees01]

well, andrew lloyd webber is British and this is part of a concert honoring him. Why would they anything bur British

[flixgold]

It was at The Royal Albert Hall in London.

[grooveymomma2929]

WOW!!!!! He is the BEST Joseph Ever! I never thought that Donny could sound like that, with such power and solid notes. He really gave me Chills. I wish I could have seen " HIM" sing instead of Micheal Damian. Wow I'm floored!!!!

[haleysauntie]

2:49 AMAZING!!

[WombatSlayer2]

jkla;jdf;klajdf fuck I'm jealous of him being able to hit that note, haha

[ShadowTwins]

I know. 2:55 was good as well.

[homeimps]

What happened at 2:55? Did he get a stomach cramp?

[MKTrny]

I know it was way higher than in the original. The original was better. I think he did it for flare

[POTOskaterJMchic]

omg i so want to marry him...or any broadway guy...XDDDD

[firework2250]

not even kidding i do too. LoL

except not any broadway guy. probably just him and a few others xDD

[POTOskaterJMchic]

lols well..yeah i was just being random, but i ahd a few names in mind >_^

for example John Bowles....or Richard Blake...XD

[sasxfan]

There's no mistaking Donny's voice - he is jus the best vocalist!

[SpoiledDingo]

I was lucky enough to see him perform as Joseph at a show in Toronto when I was in elementary school. Absolutely amazing, opened my eyes to the world of musical theatre and I have loved it ever since.
