WARNING: Donny fangirling ahead.

"Donny Osmond - Home - David Foster And Friends" (Watch on YouTube)

I was directed to this, posted on YouTube. Donny Osmond singing Michael Bublé's song Home. This was at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on May 9 at an event honoring the career of music producer David Foster. Donny just sings this so beautifully. Don't really pay attention to the video, it's not that great, rather, listen.

And the words to the song are just so... just so Donny. They fit him perfectly.



Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another airplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky, I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

I do have mp3 ripped from the YouTube if anyone wants it just ask.

David remarked to Donny at introducing him "you have the most amazing voice". Andrew Lloyd Webber commented to him too along the same vein; "where have you been keeping that voice?" and that was after curtain calls on the opening night of "Joseph...".

And he really is GOOD. Getting better with the passing of time. That's the thing that gets me. He's respected among other entertainers of his ilk, but the general public still looks at him as a nostalgia act, a "former teen idol" and don't see past that image. I just wish they'd put that aside and just LISTEN to the man SING.

Well when I hear people say "you know I never realized how good he was!" I'm always thinking to myself "I did! All along." I'm so proud. Ha!
