David Osmond's Audition

[@SewWhittle]

Prayers for him and his father. What a nice looking young man. The Osmonds are an amazing family.

[@jefrossman7546]

Hello Sheila, hope you’re in good health ☺️😊

[@michellebrady3621]

They are the BEST.

[@nancybreshears6456]

The Osmonds are the nicest family. I've met some of them and they truly appreciate their fans. They never disappoint.

[@tjbedista]

True that! The Osmonds are the nicest celebrities I've ever met (2nd is Taylor Swift). Really lovely people. God bless them.

[@sarasorensen2650]

They really are.

That dude can belt it out!!! He can sing anything! Incredible!!

[@janice2532]

Wow. Love it David. Your father makes me cry....his spirit is strong and you are exactly the Osmond tradition!

[@abbykoop5363]

I love how Alan said, "You can always come home". I moved out at 19 because I was miserable at home, however my mother telling me "And don't think you are ever coming back" was like a knife through my heart.

[@kellythomas1933]

I'm so sorry you had to live with that, I walked out of my home on the morning of my 18th birthday, just to get away from my mother, my dad had seen it coming, he couldn't stop it, over 5 decades later I lost my mum, as much as I hate to admit it it was almost a relief

[@abbykoop5363]

@@kellythomas1933 That's what I'm thinking too. People ask me how I will feel when she dies. I think I will be glad I won't need to look over my shoulder all the time. I wish we could have all had healthy families!

[@gillian4856]

I’m so sorry to hear that I’m one of the lucky ones I’m 56 and I could still go home - and my belief is it should always be that way - I hope you find the strength in you to know it’s your life grab every opportunity that you can and make your life’s success yours ❤️

I'm 70 and never had that experience. After a failed marriage in Mt 20s my parents welcomed me back. My 2nd marriage has lasted 35 years and going for 50. If my parents were alive my whole family would love to live with them. My parents loved all 6 of us. We're all on our own and mom would be totally excited to see how large our family has gotten. Wish everyone the best.

[@makeupboss3568]

You can certainly tell that vocal talent runs in the family… he has a stunning voice.

[@Dolphin-cb9sq]

Great to see Alan too. Dear God, didn't know BOTH were battling MS. God keep helping them stay strong.

[@julierodabaugh6016]

The Osmond’s are my favorite family of All time and I mean all of them. I watch them daily for inspiration, hope and to emulate. Y’all are gems and make everyone sparkle like the Heavenly Father. His grace is enough to win the battle of life no matter the challenge or circumstances we are dealt.

[@sandrap.6530]

Spent many hours listening to my older sister's Osmond Brothers albums back in the day & watching them on tv appearances was the best thing ever for preteen girls. The original boy band. Thanks for the memories, Osmond Brothers.

[@ron100]

I’m sorry for your dad’s as well as your MS diagnosis. God bless you both.

[@suzannecook9840]

I admire him & his father for the courage. Never give up. Awesome voice.

[@Sandy-r7t]

Its nice to see the new generation of Osmonds rising up. The world is a more beautiful place with the Osmonds. Grew up listening, had my crush on Donnie, and been a fan ever since. I love them all!

[@kitapita]

I didn't know anything about David until I think 4 or 5 years ago at my first MS Walk in Tacoma, WA. Such a genuine, kind person.

Hi I just wanted to thank you again for being so supportive and following me on my journey. I love inspiring and encouraging others. People like you help me to keep showing up! Hope you are having an amazing day!

[@johndove-cochran9496]

First time seeing this. It was so great seeing your family right there with you. Alan sure does have a Blessed Kind spirit and lots of love for you and his family. Thank you for this ❤️

[@klengetti]

Wow! That voice is Osmond! I am so happy for him!!! 👍👏

[@kaymuldoon3575]

kitty he has the best Osmond voice I have ever heard.

[@klengetti]

Just like his uncle 👍 And he's sooo NICE!

[@vjr5261]

I got to meet the whole family in 1972 when they moved from LA to SLC. They all signed their album for me including Marie and Jimmy. So very gracious. Marie said to me Why do you want my signature? I answered because you will be famous also. Then they had their show that I watched every week. I didn’t know that they were struggling and suffering. God bless them both and their family.

[@Celticcross688]

David has a wonderful voice.. heard him sing "Danny Boy" xx David Osmond, you don't need Simon Cowell or any of that lot, Darlin' to authenticate you! being an Osmond is enough. God Bless you x Bless your Dad, Alan..Love to you x I first saw your Dad with his brothers in LONDON 1972 Rainbow Theatre.

[@cherylemaybury2540]

He has a beautiful voice. I am so sorry to hear he also has MS. I hope he has a great career ahead of him and it sets him up for the future when he can no longer work. I loved seeing Alan Osmond in the clip, I am such a huge fan and always have been.

[@jefrossman7546]

Hello Cheryle, hope you’re in good health ☺️😊

[@kelleydeclue4100]

The one song I remember from Alan is He's not heavy he's my brother. Now I know Merrill was lead vocalist, but Alan brings this song home to what he's going through physically doesn't he?!

[@ellykaye6633]

He was amazing! He rivals any of the top idols- even though he made it to Hollywood, I think they were freaked out by who he is. IMHO

[@cynthiasnyder1561]

David is more talented than any of the judges. I think they were all jealous.

[@angiestowe8220]

David, are you doing well today? You are in my prayers. God bless.

[@AR-ce2mw]

Bless his dad's heart. I teared up.

[@iphoneuser21diamond50]

I have been waiting to see at least one of the Osmonds offspring out making music for us ...always have loved the Osmonds

[@nancybreshears6456]

Donny's son Christopher has an amazing voice as well. He's on KZbin.

[@gafevans372]

It always amazes me when someone who has a famous family chooses to go after what he wants with no “inside” help. I’m certain that dong was about God getting him through the tribulations of MS, and he has that “Osmond voice.” The song obviously meant something to him, and singing of our God does my heart good.

[@sagittariushernandez8553]

He did use his name to get it... if he really wanted to usejust his talents then he wouldn't have had a whole segment of him being an Osmond js

[@Medjugoriemiss]

@@sagittariushernandez8553 I totally agree. It was all about being an Osmond. He should have gone in anonymously.

[@valoriegray2859]

Osmond voice? Are you joking. He couldn't carry a tune. always making the tune vibrate when it shouldn't have as he sung was a big let down. Listen to the original Osmond's from the 70's and you will heard that man can't sing after all.

[@musicjunkie7549]

He has a beautiful voice tho.. He has talent I would have given him yes all the way.. He is very humble and he is what an American Idol should be..

[@sandyk378]

David, you are an amazing singer from an amazingly talented family ‼️ Love the Osmonds ❤️

[@lindareiber7105]

I went to high school with his wife. She was and still is (Im sure) a really sweet sweet down to earth girl. David looks like his Uncle Jay.

[@mezzajanetzki9047]

David is such a great person. Amazing voice just like his family before hand. He also happens to be my birthday twin. Exactly 20 years apart

[@lynn1464]

Some comments say why did he go out audition? Well he wanted to do it on his own terms and not abused the Osmond name. Which was good for him he did it on his own terms and he made it

[@MsTessG]

Never know why they cut David from American Idol. He can sing his face off and he could have won, imo.

I think he got sick and lost his voice, so he couldn't perform. They didn't cut him.

[@phoebeh3watkins464]

zthde the osmonds ( Donny AND Marie ) Are Frauds since they have grown , so has Their '' EGO'' They don't want 2 talk 2 the average person unless there is a camera on them they think they are better than us .. well guess who gave them the fame ? could it be the fans going to their concerts buying their records and merchandise .. Marie makes you think that Nutrisystem helped her lose weight and that is all .. well NOT TRUE !! Weight-loss brand: Nutrisystem. Weight lost: 50 pounds. Money gained: Estimated $1.65 million* Singer Marie Osmond struggled with her body image for much of her life, which might be one of the most relatable sentences ever written.Sep 27, 2012 ... Marie thinks she OWNS diet plans !!hint Marie Osmond may have one-upped Oprah Winfrey in the battle of the bulge. The singer and Las Vegas performer - she stars in a show with her famous brother, ( '' Donnie '') '' '' ( THIS IS Nutrisystem's SPELLING NOT MINE )'' at the Flamingo - boasted on Tuesday that she’s lost 50 pounds using Nutrisystem - and has been able to keep them off over the 10 years she has been a company pitchwoman. Osmond’s boast seemed aimed squarely at Winfrey and her Weight Watchers program. The TV mogul last month moved the company’s stock when she announced she had lost 40 pounds over 14 months. The December-January months are key to weight-loss companies as folks make New Year’s resolutions to get thinner - and turn to the companies for help. Winfrey has been very visible on TV the last two weeks as Weight Watchers has amped up its latest market push. Osmond and Nutrisystem were not about to miss an opportunity to get its message out there. “Marie has been with us for a long time,” Nutrisystem Chief Executive Dawn Zier told The Post. “She’s kept the weight off and had a lot of success.” REAL PROFESSIONAL Nutrisystem Chief Executive Dawn Zier . Ouch. That too seemed to be aimed at Winfrey and her yo-yo dieting. ! NOW DONNY ON THE OTHER HAND -- Donny Osmond: 'I was washed up by 21' Soldier of Love" is a 1989 song by American singer Donny Osmond, which became his comeback hit.[2][3][4] A Top 30 hit in the UK in 1988, the track Was Not Initially Released In The US As Osmond Did Not Have A Record Deal There. However, a cassette of the song from a British import was sent by an Osmond fan to Jessica Ettinger, the acting Program Director and Music Director at ABC's WPLJ-FM New York. Ettinger liked the song but was concerned that Osmond, a former child star, wouldn't be accepted by the current pop audience. Ettinger, believing the song to be a hit, up-ended the top 40 music and radio industry by giving it a slot on her playlist. Osmond was not only unsigned by any record label in the U.S., but the song itself was unavailable for purchase in the U.S. at the time. To give the song a chance, she created a '' MYSTERY ARTIST " Promotion; Put The Song In Rotation, And Kept Listeners Guessing Who The Artist Was For SEVERAL WEEKS.[5] Eventually, Ettinger had her air talent reveal that the song was by Donny Osmond, who appeared live on the air at the same time. Osmond was soon signed by Capitol Records, which copied Ettinger's promotion idea nationwide and released the song as a single. "Soldier of Love" reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1989,[6] behind Michael Damian's "Rock On"; and Osmond credits Ettinger with re-launching his career by listening to the music and not pre-judging whether a song could be a hit based on the name of the artist .. Apparently No One Guessed The '' MYSTERY ARTIST '' BECAUSE NO ONE KNEW DONNY OSMOND !!! Donny had 2 go 2 another Country 2 make a record have it sent 2 America FOOLED the public with the '' GUESS THE MYSTERY ARTIST '' Playing the song over and over trying 2 guess the singer until her listeners knew the song ! !! Great way 2 get back into America Recordings again Donny ! CHEAT LIE FRAUD RUDE !! THERE YOU GO OSMOND FANS FROM A LONG TIME EX - OSMOND FAN !

I will never forget Donny talking 2 Tom Snyder when the interview was over tom thanked DONNY AND SAID ( AND YOUR SISTER ) Donny had the nerve to snap his fingers at Tom and replied ( and her name is ?) Tom Snyder of course said Marie Tom Snyder was an ICON Donny was a peon .. if you went to hear them sing in Branson of course they talked to you that is a meet and greet because they are way 2 old 2 be singing all of there songs from back in the day ! OUT WITH THE OLD AND IN WITH THE NEW GENERATION .. Lets see if they have the talent to make it on their own.

[@prankgirl9112]

@@phoebeh3watkins464 He was joking with Tom. Everyone but you can take a joke. You get absolutely no say in whether the Osmonds are in or out. You also get absolutely no saying what songs they choose to sing. They can perform whenever and however they want to, if you don't like it just stop watching them. You are obviously obsessed with them, writing essays on their videos. Just move on. We are going to keep watching because they are so talented and are incredible people with a great sense of humor.

I think they were put off by the name "OSMOND". They want unknowns and don't want to be seen as being partial. But hey, there are so many Osmonds and none of this generation has "made it". It would have been grossly unfair to dismiss his OBVIOUS talent. He certainly will have the work ethic.
