"This is the Moment" is an album of Donny Osmond
singing songs from musicals. Because he is putting them in the context
of pop music rather than in the musical setting, they at times lack the
emotion that goes with the song. A couple cases in point would be "This
is the Moment" the title song. It just doesn't have the same flavor as
when Dr Jekyll is considering consuming the substance he has
created to test it. Also his version of "Anythng's Possible" lacks the
dancing fish the version of Caleb on You Tube from when he was in
Suessical.

However his other song from
Seussical, "Solla Sollew" is very
well done. Listening to Donny Osmond and Vanessa Williams sing, "Not
While I'm Around" is just beautiful. He ventures out of the musical
realm and sings "You've Got a Friend in Me" From
Toy Story. He also provides some musical theater history singing George M. Cohan's "Give my Regards to Broadway."
