Music Review: Donny Osmond: Live from Edinburgh Castle (2005)


Donny Osmond was quite a repertoire from over the years.  In this concert he sings old and new songs, and several of his songs didn't make the list.  He started writing his own songs in the 2000s and his newer songs are mostly self written, sometimes a collaboration.

Could it be I'm Falling in Love cover of the Spinners

Seasons of Love from the musical Rent is one of my favorite as the kids sang this song in high school choral concerts.

Puppy Love was written by Paul Anka and his version reached number 2 on the charts.  12 years later the Donny Osmond version reached #3

In it for Love is one of Donny Osmond's newer song from album What I meant to say.  This is a very good love song and includes all the things you should tell your lover.

Keep Her in Mind, ditto

Any Dream Will Do From Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat

Don't Dream It's Over first released by Crowded House on included in Osmond's Somewhere in Time Album.  

This Is the Moment is from the musical Jekyll and Hyde.  It is also the name of his Broadway review album.  

Soldier of Love is one of Osmond's harder songs.

Whenever You're in Trouble is a tribute to Osmond's mother when she was passing away.

You know someone believes in youWhen they love you no matter what you doYou know you are home and you're not aloneWhen you hear me say
Whenever you're in troubleWhenever you may need meI will fight for youI will help you through

Archive Interlude This showed Donny from five years old being introduced on the Andy Williams show to perform with his brothers.

Go Away Little Girl Donny's only #1 song on the charts and started his young group of songs.  This song previously reached #1 as recorded by Steve Lawrence.

Too Young from the Album of the same name was Osmond's fourth album.  

12th of Never--Thats a long long time.

Love Me for the Reason. I always thought this song had the catchiest melody.

What I Meant to Say explains what he wanted to say, another love song.

Would I Lie to You from the album Somewhere in Time picks up the tempo.

Shoulda Known Better from the What I Meant to Say album.

Breeze on By also from What I Meant to Say

Immortality was written by the Bee Gees but is almost autobiographical for Donny Osmond

Crazy Horses. This is the encore performance and is the hardest rock song in the group.  

This concert was actually very enjoyable.  I would recommend it to others.  I got it through Netflix DVD
