Close Every Door (Live from The Royal Albert Hall) - Donny Osmond | Joseph

[@Ru136]

The "You ready? Ready?" at the beginning is so cute. I'm glad he was checking in with them since some of them seem really young

[@_nataliebeck_]

Leanne Amunugama Its very cute! 😂Donny seems like such a genuine and nice person!

[@robertopaulpickett4030]

As a grandpa, he's used to little children and knows that they need direction with kindness. Donny is genuinely a nice person.

[@patriciaschuster1371]

I remember him as a very young boy on the Andy Williams Show with his brothers in the late 60's. He has always been a good guy.

No one can be Joseph better than Donny.

I totally agree 😁

I watched Donny Osmond perform this musical a hundred times while working as an usher at the Chicago theater. What a voice! What a talent.

[@Edie45]

Donny and the cast did a wonderful thing for the students from a local high school who were going to perform this production. While in Chicago they met with the students and many met individually with the person playing their character to go over some of the difficulties and challenges of that role. Considering this was a small high school from a small Canadian town, their generosity was overwhelmingly welcomed and appreciated. Never forgotten, always recalled with gratitude.

[@s_kelli_ngton]

Very lucky! He's one of my favorites I'd love to see him perform just once!

[@mayag224]

As a Jewish person, hearing this song is so special. It sounds like a prayer we say in synagogue.

[@paulitamartinez4255]

Can you say which one? I would love to hear it!

[@mayag224]

@@paulitamartinez4255 I didn't really have a specific one in mind when I wrote this. I was saying in general. Like this song, a lot of prayers are in minor keys and say words like "children of Israel." They also involve asking God for peace and stuff. It's also hard to find specific ones since the tunes used vary. The way my synagogue sings a prayer could be totally different than the way another one does, though there are more popular versions. That being said, I found two videos that give me similar vibes to this song. Here they are: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5iWmJygqtaKj9E and kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIKWfIOdbsp6Z5Y . Again, the orchestrations and tones are a bit more upbeat than this song, but it all depends on how you sing it. Here is an "evolution of Jewish music video" if you want to get a sense of what I'm talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZPIcqWGhtammZo . Not all of the songs fit what I'm talking about but some do.

I agree. And he's always on pitch.

No one is talking about how gorgeous he is? HE IS! Beautiful man!

[@cerullocandelabra8549]

Yes he surely is

I can listen to him sing this song 100x in a row!!........I know, because I just did.

Me, every time this song comes on in my car lol 🥰

I keep telling my dad to put it on our stick in our car but he won't cause he thinks it's a piece of rubbish he just don't like it

[@irishmama34]

Saw Donny Osmond as Joseph in the touring production at the Chicago Theater -- he was INCREDIBLE.. Later heard Andrew Lloyd Webber say Donny Osmond was his favorite "Joseph" -- we understood: no one has his voice & he's an outstanding theatrical performer!!!

[@wylldflower5628]

Irish Mimi I've always thought he may well be the best suited person for the role - that no matter how close his family is, he probably had a better understanding of the potential difficulties of great popularity in a large family with a lot of older brothers.

[@alexuzice]

Irish Mimi are ye Irish

[@carlynrothlisberger3261]

I saw him in Chicago also. His voice is perfection and he IS Joseph - wow the best ever musical with him in it. Outstanding professional actor and singer.

[@t.o.6953]

Me too! It was my first exposure to musicals!

[@DaddyTre65]

My mother, my aunt and I saw Donny Osmond as Joseph at the Chicago Theater. I was mesmerized by his fantastic performance! My mom said she wanted to come right back and see him again! And my aunt (who barely knew who Donny Osmond was) said: "that white man sings with some soul... and he looks GOOD!" x)

[@sarahdanielle2589]

I get chills every time I hear this. Go Donny!

[@roserusso8920]

Probably a popular opinion but.... This is better than the cast recording

[@Edie45]

Donny went through a series of singing lessons in order to meet this challenging role. Congratulations to him and his music teacher for adapting his vocals to this type of music.

[@JulieDelahooke]

I completely melt with the small run on the word “mind” at 2:55

[@norsemoen]

I listened back to the cast recording and he sings it straight. This live version is even better!

[@jadepercival2287]

that "shall" at 2:50 is extremely difficult to hit for a male, by the way - donny has an amazing range and support to his voice, it's so good

[@fgffrfyydsgsguyijxse825]

Jade Percival not really.. most tenors can easily hit a C5 and that is just a B4

[@BlueLucario98]

Fgffrfyyds Gsguyijxse it’s much harder to hit in succession with the lower notes going into the phrase, jumping an octave and then going back down immediately is quite a feat that takes a while for even trained tenors to get right

[@fgffrfyydsgsguyijxse825]

BlueLucario98 it’s not uncommon at all to jump like that-it’s expressed in a multitude of modern popular pieces and not hard to do at all

[@BlueLucario98]

Fgffrfyyds Gsguyijxse jumps are very common, it’s just that with the higher the range, the more difficult it is for such a thing. “Close Every Door” is a decent example, but not quite that large of a gap, more like “Until I Hear You Sing” from Love Never Dies or “Pity the Child” from Chess is where it gets very difficult for even normal tenors.

[@fgffrfyydsgsguyijxse825]

BlueLucario98 yes-I agree with that

[@ellenrupard5941]

Seeing this recording, it's great, but to be real, it will NEVER compare to what it was like to see him in person perform this. It was a magical moment that almost seemed unreal. Something I will NEVER forget.

[@manuelorozco7760]

After seeing the 90’s proshot, I can see why

Close every door to me, Hide all the world from me Bar all the windows And shut out the light Do what you want with me, Hate me and laugh at me Darken my daytime And torture my night If my life were important I Would ask will I live or die But I know the answers lie Far from this world Close every door to me, Keep those I love from me Children of Israel Are never alone For I know I shall find My own peace of mind For I have been promised A land of my own Close every door to me, Hide all the world from me Bar all the windows And shut out the light Joseph Just give me a number Instead of my name Forget all about me And let me decay I do not matter, I'm only one person Destroy me completely Then throw me away If my life were important I Would ask will I live or die But I know the answers lie Far from this world Close every door to me, Keep those I love from me Children of Israel Are never alone For we know we shall find Our own peace of mind For we have been promised A land of our own

Best Joseph I've heard. There are other versions, but the only whose Close Every Door moved me almost to tears was Donny's. I think he sings it with more immersion in his role? Idk, but the only one that evoked emotion in me while listening to them singing was Donny's.
