Donny Osmond reflects on his childhood spent in the spotlight and the rough transition from teen idol to adulthood in show business. The "Donny and Marie" entertainer told Yahoo Entertainment, "You're going to make mistakes. You're going to fall. All you've got to do is pick yourself up and start again."
Osmond also discusses overcoming anxiety and stage fright, reveals his last conversation with Michael Jackson, and gives an update on his recovery from a paralysis scare and Harrah's show. This episode of "Are the Kids Alright" originally aired in October 2021 on Yahoo Entertainment: yhoo.it/3brxiqy

    I was one of the girls thinking they were madly in love with you at a young age. Seeing you in Joseph (Vancouver, BC) was a truly amazing experience I will never forget. I bought the soundtrack and listening to it can take me right back to that performance. I'm glad you took time for yourself. So many artists get caught up in the lifestyle and burn right out.

    Donny Osmond has achieved a level, very few humans are able to claim. He's always been on the top but never once, lost his mind, nor his ability to know who he was. Call it genius or divine intervention. Either way, the man is greatest entertainer, this world will ever see.

    I was 'in love' with Donny Osmond. I had his picture on the wall of my room from the 'Tiger Beat' magazine. Do they still have that magazine? Told my mom that I was going to marry him and she laughed at me and I didn't know it then but he was way out of my league! I was in 7th grade.

    Great doc…so honest… but what I don’t understand is that people in the industry in the 80s told him he hasn’t got a career… so many people love Donny and all the Osmonds…I believe it was their perception of what would sell… Donny has always had a market … fans … as do all the Osmonds….😀

    He mentions it elsewhere that the industry wanted him to be more edgy after he was an adult: they even tried to fake a drug scandal because they thought drugs would make him look more...sophisticated? Idk. I was never a big Donny fan, but it was clear that the people who loved him didn't want him to change. Especially in so dishonest a way. I remember the "Soldier of Love" release. It was a good record, but I knew then that his producers and managers still weren't going to sell him correctly. It took till _Joseph_ for them to figure him out. And I think that may have been helped somewhat by his brother Jimmy, who was apparently the businessman of the family.

    Sick of same old stories. How your dad. made you kids work for money cause he didn't. Why didn't he work to get hearing aids? Why didn't he let Wayne go to medical school like he wanted? Instead now Wayne has his kids in the medical field. Good for him a Kathy. Your anxiety was caused by the perfection your dad pushed on all of you. Same for Merrill, etc Marie really messed up her looks.
