I’m about a year or so older than Donny and MJ so I followed their careers from the beginning. They hit the ground running and never looked back. The parallels between their two families are amazing.
I am 53 years old and was a huge Donny Osmond fan. The first book I ever bought as a young kid was “This is Donny”. But I never listened to The Osmonds until this year and have been totally blown away. The music, the jumpsuits, the dancing….they were amazing. Merrill has an amazing voice and when he and Donny sing, it’s magic. I feel so cheated that I wasn’t introduced to them earlier. I have watched every video on TH-cam multiple times and wish that there was more. I wish there was a filmed concert. They deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame!
Not really he just shaded MJ by saying that he did strange things when the media made him ought to be strange. He claims to be a friend of MJ when a minute he says something nice about him and then a minute he says Michael was very strange ummm….😐no he’s not a gentleman sorry
@@Milkers777 May be so he knew of him but there’s accounts of Micahel repenting on his death bed and really accepting Christ. Micahel did not want the fame at the end of his life. And I’m saying in my point is that he made a good decision and emphasising he found peace before he died in the crazy world he was in. So enough with your nasty attitude
@@ScoobyandShaggy5554 I don’t have a attitude just saying you’re 1000% wrong MJ made it very clear he didn’t care about Fame in a sense for his entire life he only cared about sharing his gift to the world that GOD gave him and spreading love aka doing what was his Destiny and that’s being The Greatest!🤦🏽♂️👑✨🎯💯💯💯
He is still a gorgeous individual. Loved him when I was twelve, in my twenties, thirties, forties, fifties and now in my sixties he continues to do a lot for me. It wasn't puppy love. It was true love. I love you Donny!
Till this day I could almost swear this was not a puppy love.💘😂 Oh those precious memories. He still gots it 👍🏼 Love his energy.. Love and blessings sent to the Osmond family 🙏
I was so into Donny and Michael. I greatly appreciate those childhood memories. Michael Jackson was such an amazing artist!! His music will live on forever. Always in our hearts and never forgotten. My oldest son karaoke's with his songs often. He can do his voice pretty much like Michael's and I always enjoy listening to Michael's music. I still remember the posters and albums I had of these two heartthrobs!! Sending love and blessings to the Jackson family ❤️🙏
@@kellyjones5509 Unlike Donny, Michael stayed true to himself even when everyone was accusing him of things he hasn’t done; they threw him under the bus, and yet Michael didn’t care he was proving his innocence & he still wrote music and gave it his all, and then there’s Donny who tried so hard to be something that he’s not and he had his struggles but he took it so personally, and Michael has gone through so much hell than him, but he kept defending himself and stood up for himself, and Donny who runs his big mouth, and said Michael did bad things when that’s not true the world made it look like micheal was the bad guy because of greed and money! Donny needs to learn his place and get his facts straight and he said Michael is his best friend I call it b.s. even when he just threw micheal under the bus.
I like Donny Osmond in general. I was too young to really know his music, but I was aware that he & MJ were friends. He had even mentioned that he & Michael kept in touch after he left Neverland; after the allegations, etc. BUT here he speaks about "Michael's strange choices". WHAT does that even mean??? Michael did what he had to do to protect himself & his children. "They" destroyed Neverland for him & he couldn't go back there. Donny DIDN'T need to speak about MJ in any kind of negative way. I'm so tired of people saying they were Mike's "friend", but then bash him (even if low-key) when he's not around. A real friend will lift you up ALWAYS. It would have been VERY easy for him to simply speak positively of Mike WITHOUT "shading" him.
Unfortunately this is a common thing with people who knew Michael, it’s like they want to “look reasonable” to those with pitchforks rather than say what’s the truth, especially men. The only celebrity I’ve seen vehemently defend Michael without shading him is Alfonso Ribeiro “Carlton” from Fresh Prince of Bel Air who was in the Pepsi commercial with Michael.
Antoine Fuqua is a solid director of gritty Hollywood popcorn movies, so if you want a superficial, half level deeper than surface take on Michael Jackson, he's your man. I'm pretty sure that's all the masses really want anyway. The real story will happen much later and will take a genius to do.
Hmm had a lot of respect for Osmond on one of his videos where he was talking about MJ and his final days and you could see he was choking up...but on here when he said "we all know he made some strange decisions in later life" that comment really grated on me. He has lost all my respect.
He’s probably talking about when he bought a monkey etc. Just unusual things. He really cared about Michael. Even offered to let Michael come stay with him for a while when Michael was being hounded by the press at one point.
@@TheAmtwhite well he should’ve said that. And buying a monkey isn’t strange at all. Michael bought llamas, giraffes and other animals. Why would a monkey be strange?
@@galaxyangel9128 like he’s better than Michael Jackson but we all know that ain’t true even though Michael had his struggles he still stayed true to himself and kept to himself despite people harassing and throwing him under the bus. And donny… I’m not even going there all I’m going to say is that he’s mediocre and an underrated singer. 🙄
@@folasadesuzanne true lol bro I tried not to cuss him on in this comment section. I can't believe I was nice. Yep MJ always stayed true to his friends. They just think that now that he's gone they can say whatever. But I bet he wouldn't of said that if he was here
I hate it when Donny Osmond ever mentions Michael Jackson in interviews. Because no matter how much time he spends talking about his newest project, it’s the sentence or two he spends talking about Michael that the media always gravitates towards and headlines in articles instead of the reason Donny was being interviewed in the first place. Then because of that, all the weird Michael Jackson fans come in droves and get all huffy when someone doesn’t grovel at the feet of a dead man and lightly suggests that Michael did odd things as an adult: which is a fact, even if you don’t include the potential child molesting and pedophilia. Donny always spoke highly of Michael even if it wasn’t always popular to do so while he was alive, and his comment about Michael Jackson making questionable decisions later in life doesn’t change that. Stop looking for a reason to get offended when there is none.
There is no "potential". MJ was exonerated repeatedly, by the FBI(who'd investigated him for decades), by the courts several times, and by the testimonies. If you want to lift up Donny, go ahead, just don't take cheap shots at one of the most mistreated, innocent men of all time.
I see a gentleman that really cared about MJ.Ive come to realize Michael had so Many real Friends that cared about him,but he Lost his mind with money and Fame at such a Young age and created that persona that Ended Up devouring him.And he didnt want hisnfrienda from back in the day around to make him acountable.thats why he surounded himself with low income adoring families that only wanted money and Fame from him and did not question any of his decisions.without anybody around that really cared or selfcriticism he selfdestroyed victim of his traumas and adictions.its very sad but as much as people tried he refused to change his lifestyle.So I only have respect for Donny a great singer a gentleman and someone that Michael should have kept in his Life.
Nobody can beat the king of pop Michael Jackson is recognized all over the world with his musical talents and the only people who know who Donny osmond is elder women. At least Michael Jackson has really good taste in music and has been writing music for decades when he was still alive. Donny doesn’t know jack that’s why he’s so underrated.
In your Dreams you saying that to make yourself believe that now wake your ass up to reality nobody will ever be better than The King Of Music Michael Joseph Jackson PERIOD!👑 (YOUR Delusional🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤡🤡🤡)

@@folasadesuzanne Michael did do strange things, and he did it a lot for the PR. He was very sharp when it came to promoting himself.
Will always love Donny songs.
his hits like billie jean are still 100x better than anything on radio today
Arguably the greatest pop song ever recorded.
@@BadAssMacmillan *Greatest Song Of All Time!👑💫
the goat
Donny has always had respect and praise for MichaelIn past interviews you can tell it still hurts him to have lost his friend.
I could listen to donny’s stories all day and wow
This such a great interview Donald Osmond is such a underated singer hope he get more recognition.
Donny has great energy! 👍💕
Love the rap song. You awesome Donny❤
❤ For Donny Osmond & all of the Osmond's families 😊 absolutely very talented artists 😊
So happy for Donny...
Strange things happened to MJ, he didn’t make strange decisions.
Exactly the media made him out to be “Strange” MJ himself was never strange tbh
I believe he gave His life to Christ and n His death bed and so did Elvis, isn’t that something both major stars who fee away found the Lord
@@ScoobyandShaggy5554 MJ found the Lord way before his death bed he always believed in GOD but what does that have to do with anything🤦🏽♂️

I caught that shade too. He was never a friend of he wouldve been there for like through his hardships. The sage throwing is too much

Without the Osmonds there would be know boy groups kudos to the Osmond brothers

Stfu MJ was proven innocent in the court of law in life and after so give it a break

Michael Jackson was bullied NOT that he made strange decisions... I liked everything about this artist until he muttered that naive or maybe even toxic stupidity.
Good lord you are blind. MJ made strange decisions...he was human after all. He makes good decisions, bad, strange and made mistakes.
