Somewhere In Time (Classic Love Songs) - Donny Osmond

Somewhere in time? This CD is stuck

Advantages: A good blend of styles with covered tracks
Disadvantages: maybe too many slower songs - somewhere in time? could be stuck there

This is a multi-cover CD, where over 50% of the songs are covered by one of the family of brothers hailing from the USA, who had hits themselves in the late 60's and early 70's, with songs such as Love Me For A Reason. They were a group of Mormons, and they travelled and performed as the Osmonds. One of the younger ones, Donny, released this particular album in 2002, covering songs that had been sung by Crowded House (Track 8 on the album is Don't Dream It's Over), Mariah Carey (Track 2 is called Without You), and Charles and Eddie (Track 6 is the smash hit Would I lie to you) to name but three. Donny's vocal talents enable him to pull off what would be difficult for a lot of other singers to muster, a range that exceeds expectations. Also on the album, there is a flavouring of what he had done previously, with the last two ...

Review of Somewhere In Time (Classic Love Songs) - Donny Osmond

Donny Osmond Love Songs Of The 70's

Advantages: Everything about it.
Disadvantages: It has'nt got any.

Yet another brilliant and organised cd from a member of the extremely talented and THE origanal boyband The Osmonds, yes its the origanal idol from the 70's Donny Osmond with his latest album, Love Songs Of The 70's. This album is packed full of songs origanally from the 70's but has been given a more modern feel to it. In my opinion Donny has probably done the songs as good as, or even in some cases better than the origanal person who sung the songs! I highly recommend this cd to any one who are thinking about buying this album, or if they have only just heard of it. I also recommend this to people who are fans of the songs in this modern take to some classic songs. ...

Review of Love Songs Of The 70's - Donny Osmond

Somewhere in Time DVD

Advantages: Feel Good Movie, Soothing and Touching
Disadvantages: Incredible plot

This is a change of image for my favorite Superman. This film is for the hopeless romantics such as me. The plot is not credible to happen in real life but who cares! This is not the first movie that used incredible plot. Hence despite this and some hard to believe things like when Richard just closes his eyes and concentrate to travel through time and a lot of unbelievable coincidences, I still found the movie worth my time. It was so sweet. It touched my romantic and sentimental heart. Imagine the hero sacrificing everything in his present time just to search for his past love. That is true love and it hits my soft spot. The acting may not be superb but passable. The soundtrack is very impressive. This is what I love most. I have watched this movie twice and each time it did not fail to make me fall in love again. ...
