No, he's Mormon. That cancels locusts out.
Consider yourselves saved until Britney creates something to counter Donny.

And American Idiot is number 5.

'Nuff said.

Girls aloud are #2. Further signs that the single buying public have rubbish taste in music. Sod donny osmond, he probably deserves his place in the top ten much more than girls aloud do.

Girls aloud, put simply, are absolute guff.

All we need are David Cassidy, David Hasselhoff and Leif Garrett to round out the four horsemen.

Gee an obsession right now with the 70's and 80's and a has been from the 70's and 80's who's probably on TV everyday anyhow scores a belated one hit wonder. Go figure.

That's what the UK gets for giving US the Spice Girls.

Much as this makes me feel dirty, in professional situations I've met Osmond on a number of occasions, and he's actually been very civilized and pleasant.

Good on him.

I'm just waiting for his '80's metal phase to rear its purple head again.

I'm sorry, I could've sworn that it said Donny Osmond

© oy, if Andy Gibb were alive today to take over the top spot, just think where we'd be!

OMG
 
2004-09-26 09:33:14 PM
Donny rocks!!!! (Well just a little)
 
2004-09-26 09:35:14 PM
And people are surprised? Didn't these people put Gunther and the Sunshine Girls on their charts for a while?


My tra-la-la...my ding ding dong

Donny rocks!!!! (Well just a little)

You mean he's a little bit Rock and Roll?

/old Donny and Marie reference.

"Hotblack "

"That's what the UK gets for giving US the Spice Girls."

We're sorry, for the love of god we're sorry, we take them back, just stop Donny Osmond before he comes over here and performs.

Re.: Donny Osmond



Dear Sirs/Madams,

Apologise. Now.

Farkers I have a cheeseball confession to make:
I saw him in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat ('92) and I have to say his voice talent was more than allright, it was good.
...and this is coming from a guy who typically listens to grunge rock and metal
 
2004-09-26 09:57:12 PM
would rather have osmond in the top ten than someone with talent equal to william hung

Next up, the Richard Marx Comeback Tour.
 
2004-09-26 10:03:42 PM
Prisoner of Love, anyone (mid 90's)???
This is his comeback comeback.
scarier still
 
2004-09-26 10:08:25 PM
To the submitter: so farking what? don't listen to music that you don't like and stop complaining about it

/doesn't listen to music much at all

...at least its not Britney.

Still gotta check out the Guy Maddin documentary.

I'm always getting Donny Osmond and Michael Jackson confused. Didn't they both sing with their brothers back in the 70's?

One of them was white back then, now both of them are, thus the confusion.

//no puppy love for either
 
2004-09-26 10:58:05 PM
Ok, musical taste has officially died. Bring on the moranic rap and pop-crap.
 
2004-09-26 11:13:09 PM
theurge14- If only you knew how right you were. Richard Marx is currently promoting his album, "My Own Best Enemy." I've seen him twice this summer (once in Kansas City... I see your from O.P.). Great album and a great show he puts on. Let the comeback commence...

Donny Osmond covers Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting" on his current album, BTW.
 
2004-09-26 11:26:02 PM
I take that back... he only covered Right Here Waiting on British television recently.

/hates Donny Osmond
/loves Richard Marx

I think marxychick1 might be some kinda stalker.

I LOVE Donny Osmond. I am glad he's making money doing what he loves to do. He's got a dozen or so kids (ok, maybe half a dozen) ages in their 20s right down to very young. And he's been married to the same woman all this time. I don't care that he's Mormon. He always has seemed VERY decent, honest, and honorable. And he's a consumate performer. THESE are the people we need to be giving our money to... not the scumbags who lower the standard (like Britney and her ilk, etc).

You get what you settle for -- no matter if it's musically, romantically, etc.

Any of you ever hear the original four Osmond Brothers doing Barbershop Quartet music when they were very young children? Awesome. Absolutely friggin't awesome.

They premiered on the Andy Williams show. On their first appearance, he got a bit tongue-tied and introduced them as, "The Ogden Brothers from Osmond, Utah!"

Guys, this is the man who testified before the Senate that if the gummint started rating albums he'd be likely to spice up his lyrics.

Man got balls.

COMALite J:

It's okay. Years later, when he guested on Donny & Marie, Donny got a bit tongue-tied and introduced Andy Williams as "that dried-up old ass tampon." Good times, good times.
 
2004-09-27 05:23:36 AM
Marie Osmond is pretty hot. I would have hit it repeatedly back in the 80s. Hell, I'd hit it now.
 
2004-09-27 05:46:08 AM
They give us Donny Osmond and we take him to our hearts. We give them John Lennon and they shoot him. I see.

"Girls aloud, put simply, are absolute guff."

That having been said, I would hit them all, lustily and repeatedly.

I was waiting for a troll to make a comment about "American Idiot."

Luckily, I was not disappointed.

Fox News just stole this headline...practically verbatim. Delivered by Martha McCallum at 7:59pm. Fark truly does rule the media.
