Donny tells David to enjoy the 'American Idol' ride
29 comments | Read story
NO MORE do-gooder songs, PLEASE, David! Fun or beautiful, recognizable songs only! Now, is not the time or place for that type of song!
Win the competition first! Later, you can put one or two of those songs on your CDs, you can make a fortune and give lots of money to charity, take part in Live Aid and Farm Aid. Also, a good example is the best sermon, and you have that in spades, David!
All the best to you! There are a WHOLE LOT of us out here pulling for you!!
Idol Top 4, in no order: David's Cook and Archuleta, Brooke White, Irish girl.
Donny and Marie were too formula for my tastes. It must be tough fitting in a mold formed by others.
I guess only those who are in the entertainment field = accomplishment.
Oh my dear soul, I'm eternally damned!
35 years ago my wife became interested in the LDS church because of The Osmonds and was bapized at age 14. Her interest in the Osmonds faded quickly, but she has been an activly serving member of the church since that time. I would say she has had a positive impact on many others as an extension of The Osmond's influence. Though she is somewhat embarassed by the story today, there are at lease 4 of us in this house and a long line of others who have been blessed by this family.
Funny how the Lord works, isn't it,
I do not believe this how the lord works, it is more like how it fool people like you.
By the way how is Marie's son doing in rehab?
Funny how the Lord works, isn't it,
All of the Osmonds I ever met were constantly humble and courteous with fans, with everyone, no matter their "importance."
They've done a lot of good in the world, for Utah, for their faith, and for America.
And David will, too.
Funny how the Lord works, letting people have freedom to choose, make mistakes, try again, learn and grow and teach others. His children can even choose to reject Him.
BTW, Was Christ a loser because He got nailed to a cross?
One Bad Apple Don't [Represent] The Whole Bunch, Goose. The O. Family has a remarkably low percentage of family in ___________ (fill in the blank, whatever kind of trouble) compared to most American families of that size.
And they don't publish their doubts and discouragements. Doesn't help anyone.
Fan respondents in this particular poll were 70% women, 30% men. The breakdown--Females: 29% were 17-and-under, 16% were 18-30, and 25% were 30+. Of males: 1% were 17-and-under, 11% were 18-30, 17% were 30+.
I'm way past 30 myself and am a totally besotted, rabid fan of this cute, sweet kid with the killer voice! My teenaged son thinks I've lost my marbles, but David has me listening to popular music for the first time in more than 20 years!
After listening to David's stuff on YouTube (especially the Christmas songs, "Angels", "I'll Be", "A Thousand Miles", even "Happy Birthday!"), I decided that if there was beauty like that in the world and I wasn't listening, I was foolish and missing out.
I have really been enjoying myself! It's like a gift! I've found lots of popular songs to love. For years I had my son's music all around me, but it was hard rock which verged on painful to me.:o(
Hope he sings "I Will Always Love You" tomorrow night. He could bring the house down with it!! Good luck, David!
I think because there are so few "famous" mormons, that many mormons get worried about the few famous mormons.
Do you see jews worrying about what Jerry Seinfeld is up to or Catholics worrying about what Jim McMahon is doing?
I respect whatever good D&M have contributed but just because they are famous doesn't make them anymore acceptable or valuble than the homeless guy that hangs out in their neighborhood.
Get plastic surgery and have your hair colored like they do and you'll look better.
Win the competition first! Later, you can put one or two of those songs on your CDs, you can make a fortune and give lots of money to charity, take part in Live Aid and Farm Aid. Also, a good example is the best sermon, and you have that in spades, David!"
Bookaholic, did it occur to you that perhaps it is precisely because David sings "do-gooder" songs that he is experiencing this success? Anyone can sing popular, recognizable songs, but not just anyone can sing uplifting "do-gooder" songs that make people feel good for reasons they can't explain. It's called offering people a glimpse that there is more than popularity or rehashing someone else's hits on the path to success. One can succeed by being different and standing as someone "peculiar" in a world of moral lemmings. Don't tell him to stop being what he is, a refreshing alternative to the popular, recognizable worldly entertainment that surrounds him.
MARIE WOULD RATHER BE TV THAT WITH HER DAD?! UPLIFTING!!! Who cared for HER when she was 2 feet tall? Hmmm . . . who earned the money for her diapers, clothes, toys, food, milk, formula, hair ribbons, furniture, house, and not to mention zillions of other things for her mother . . .
If I was on some TV show and my dad was dying . . . who cares what America thinks, I'd want to thank him for a lifetime of love.
