Donnie is the nicest guy. I worked in an herb store in Utah and he’d come in and get a veggie sandwich and carrot juice - sit at the counter and chat with customers. He’d often bring his wife - or get a sandwich to go for her . He’s just one of the crowd - I have so much respect for him and his family. They are such good people -

Wow, what a wonderful experience and memory to have. When i was much younger i went to a Donny Osmond concert here in my state of Ohio. As he was performing onstage, I ran up to the front of the stage extending my hand out to shake his hand, he came over to shake my hand as he continued singing. I will never forget that.

That is a good story. I think this is so true of many entertainers. They are one way on stage and another off. So n mom any are shy and yet they can go on and perform in front of thousands.

Donnie is so open and honest about his struggles. Love him!

I read Donny's book cover to cover in one day whilst I had really bad anxiety for over a week. All I could do is sit under an umbrella, next to our aboveground pool & watch my 7 y o son playing. Great book. Love this man.

It's sad and unbelievable some of the things people have said to cause hurt. But, it's a fact that Donny Osmond is still one of the worlds most talented entertainers. His wife Debbie seems lovely.

Donny Osmond - gorgeous, talented, funny and grounded. Glad he is still with us… we’ve lost so many talented people to drugs etc.

The book was excellent but also very heartbreaking. I always loved Donny and still do.

How could people ever say the sorts of things they said about Donny. It's horrifying that anyone could say those things about such a wonderful person. As well as being a brilliant artist he is also a loving husband, father, brother and friend.

DONNY OSMUND IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A CLASS ACT ALL THE WAY. ALSO HIS SISTER IS TOO. LOVE THEM.

Debbie is so beautiful inside and out. Glad he found her.

Such a Sweet Family. You can tell their Love is Eternal in Family Bond as Brother & Sister. You can tell Donny ADORES his beautiful wife & she ADORES him. What Sweet Kind 💘 Love.

Donny you are the most decent man on t v or on stage I am an original fan and I think you are a better person now then ever me and my husband were just like you and your wife till he passed away 2 years ago we were together from 14 years old 41 years of marriage I miss him so much I know I will see him again 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇪🇮🇪

The Osmond Family is the most loving, kind & sincere celebrity family I have ever seen! All of them are amazing humans,! ❤️❤️

Donny and Marie have the most beautiful smiles i have ever seen...smiles that light up every room...like sunshine on a clear day...that drive all dark clouds away...

Those bad comments, WHY would anyone be that cruel to anyone. For 67 years I have loved, adored and admired The Osmond family each one of you. You guys were great examples and roll models. LOVE your music and thank you for being so brutally honest. Someone else will learn from this and you can save someone alot of heartache through your pain. God bless. 67 in Texas. OH and I WISH I could have "Disco Train" on CD>>>>>>> HINT HINT Donny, all I can say is I think you have relief about all your pain and said it. I admire that. Keep being true to YOU!! We love you. Oh and just to let you know. I never listened or read or believed the crap about you guys. just saying.

Donny am 68years old and still love you and Marie that is saying a lot when young and old people love you your a good one

Donny and Marie always had a great sense of humor. Full of smiles and laughs. 💞

Donny was my first crush in the early 70s and I’ve always loved the Osmonds. When I lived in Minnesota I wanted to see him live in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat but never made it, and I regret that! 😫 Being in the public eye has to be so hard…I could never do it. I would imagine people only said those horrible things because they were jealous or psychotic because Donny is one of the most talented people on the face of the planet!!

Donny unfortunately people can be gruel. Some people just dont want others to be happy, they want to bring them down. You do what's in your heart, you hold Debbie tight and enjoy your kids!!! No one knows what it's like to be Donny. Thank you for sharing your struggles with us

Made it through a bad childhood by singing that title. Life turned out just as I wanted it to be!! That song is very special to me.

I was very lucky to meet them

Donny was a very emotional kind hearted guy, he wears his emotions on his sleeves

He and David Cassidy both soft hearted young men catapulted into stardom and with scars to show for it. Donny has fared better than David. RIP

That's so sweet, Donnie autographed all the books for the audience.

I remember purchasing that book as soon as it was available. Great video! I saw this when it was first on TV. Debbie is such a beautiful woman, and a great partner for Donny (Even though I thought one day he would marry me! Lol! My Jr. High dream!). Despite all of the challenges being child stars, this family has succeeded in staying with their core values, and being honest with their fans. I admire you all!

Donnies Best friend Rob. You knew he was a Good Guy before he even walked out. So many great memories of the Osmond Family. And a Crush on Marie that doesn't seem to fade. May God Bless.

I love Donny! Always have always will. So happy to, (for the first time) see and hear from Debbie. They’re an awesome couple and are both blessed to have each other. The Osmonds are my childhood that I will never forget. I still listen to their old music. To me it was their best. Crazy Horses….WHAT???? My fave. It was so NOT like the Osmonds usual stuff, and THAT was what made them a fabulous band. They could be different. I don’t think they get enough credit for their talents. I’d love to see a show…especially Donny!❤️

you are a warrior! so glad your still coming out strong!

Their connection & love for each other is so genuine - so real (they're like twins) & each has the grrreatest sense of humor... its healthy to be able to laugh at ourselves.

ALWAYS SUCH A GENTLEMAN AND MARY SUCH A LADY, AND DEBBIE TOO!. WE NEED MORE OSMONDS IN THE WORLD.

Debbie is such a beautiful woman inside and out. She made Donny what he is today with his help of course. But you can see her good influence in his life. Donny is an amazing person and I admire him and love him for who he is.

I have met him such a sweet guy the fame is nowhere in his head so real and honest

I've been a fan of the whole family since I was 7 now I'm 57 I still love them

This man is still such a fabulous talent as well as a good man. I would love to see him in Vegas.

Thanks for sharing. I saw the Osmonds perform in Liverpool, England in 1975, the only way you could get hold of a ticket was by post. I was unsuccessful. But I knew someome who knew someone who worked in the theatre and they got me a ticket. It was a great show and one of my most treasured memories growing up.

Thank you for sharing Donny and Marie show I used to love watching their show I could never get enough of Donny but who didn't love their family what a wonderful beautiful family they bring so much childhood memories for me and my siblings thank you for sharing

What's amazing about him is that he had to deal with that kind of cruelty and backlash and he was strong enough to come through it without turning to drinking or drugs or other women. And it wasn't easy for him. You got to have respect for that.

I wish I could find a way to thank Donny. A little over a year ago I panicked before a singing performance. I’m sixty years old and I am lead vocalist in a band that plays mostly classic rock as well as some pop and country. Shortly before we were to start performing I was hit with the most debilitating feeling of dread, panic, fear etc. there was nothing I could do to mitigate it. It was absolutely awful. I kept thinking if I could just cross my arms and “Genie-blink” myself into oblivion I would do it. Death would be better than getting up in front of everyone. The ONLY thing that helped me to go on stage was the even greater fear of letting my band members down. I told them something was wrong with me that I couldn’t explain but I just wanted to run away like my hair was on fire. They covered for me as I forgot the words to songs I’ve known all my life. At times I just stood there frozen in fear as everyone looked at me quizzically. Half way through the second set It started fading a bit and by the end of the third and last set it had diminished by about 80%. I just wanted to cease existing. Happens every time I perform now, though not as bad as the first time. Listening to Donny I was floored. It was like he was describing my experience to the letter. I don’t know what I am going to do about it, but just knowing that a consummate professional like Donny Experiences it makes me feel much less alone. It also gives me a general idea of the path I need to pursue if it gets worse like the first occurrence. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOURSELF DONNY! Wow. What a blessing.

I like this interview that maternal glow Marie did with author Donny, his eternal boo Debbie, and his childhood friend Rob. Kudos for sharing this Dave. Have a page turner Tuesday and stay well read...📺💟🤰📖💜👱🏻‍♀️👦

I am so horrified at how Donny Osmond was treated! Wow. I am so touched by how emotional he got when Marie read some of the comments made by cruel, hateful and likely jealous people. I want to read the book.

This book was great!!! I learned so much more about the Osmonds, and the music business...really wonderful read!!!

Boy, I really felt for him, here. So brutal to go through. I am glad they are such a strong, loving couple and family. They are truly admirable people and so genuine.

What a man, I'm still in Love.

Watching this in 2022, after witnessing the demise of so many icons from our past from self destruction - people like Karen Carpenter, David Cassidy, Michael Jackson, Whitney, and Prince. Then, think about the '27' club - Hendrix, Morrison, Cobain, Winehouse... Donny Osmond may not fall into the same category talent-wise, to some of you, but he certainly falls into the same category 'famous-wise'. He experienced an extreme amount of fame at a very young age. In fact, he experienced the exact same amount of fame at the exact same age as Michael Jackson did. And, at the time, the Jackson family and the Osmond family, looked - to the outside viewer - as very similar families. Both families larger than average - a lot of kids. Some of them, not in the group. Both come from strong parental and religious upbringings. Both exceptionally talented, with the littlest brother standing out as being a superstar. It's so crystal clear to me the reason Donny is still here - the reason he survived what all these other superstar, icon artists that were plagued with similar demons and went through similar experiences, is that none of them had the fortunate luck to connect with their soul mate in this life. Their stabilizing force. Donny has gotten through it all because of his wife. And, of course, also because he had the ability to acknowledge the need for stability and also, the intelligence to know how important it is to hold on to it. But, I'm also sure that Debbie went through a lot of rough times, so she deserves equal credit in keeping Donny sane and alive to this day. Bottom line - every single icon we've lost prematurely was basically alone in their private lives. I'm not laying blame on anyone, cause it's no one's fault. All I'm saying is that it's obvious to me, that Donny has gotten through a lot of tough times and is still going strong because of his relationship with his wife. She's definitely his soul mate. They feed off of each other. It's not something that happens to everyone, but it certainly is something that exists. And it's a pleasure to behold...

That's interesting; I would say he has more talent and less fame. It's not either one, really. It's reputation: he has a reputation for being squeaky clean and that intimidates people. I don't know of anybody who works harder for their success than an Osmond.

I never saw this and really enjoyed it.

Donny married such a wonderful lady. Debbie is beautiful inside and out. So happy for Donny and his sweet family!!

I really loved that show and was sad when it left the air.

It can't be easy to live your life in the spotlight. It's not all glitz and glamour, it's a great deal of hard work, long hours, intrusion into their personal space and in some artists lives it's giving up a normal childhood. They certainly pay the price for their artistry. And, for the most part, they have no idea how they are appreciated for a particular moment that they have either enriched or affected in someone's life through their artistry; acting, dancing, singing, or writing.

I really enjoyed watching this, so wonderfull .Thank you so much for sharing.From the Netherlands

Lol I have to admit I too was a fan of Donnys and of the Osmonds. When I was a young teenager I had a big crush on Marie. In those days I wasn't able to admit to any of this, because of these teasing I would have gotten. Today I'm too old to care lol, I do love this family. I even have Donnys first book and most all his albums, keep strong Donny.

In high school his shows would be on at game time and I would go after the show. Got made fun of, much like being a Journey fan, being a fan of Donnys. Never cared what others thought. Adore him and his family. He is on my bucket list, never seen him live! My bad. Lol

And it's so bad now, with so many different things going on. Some persons can just be so mean!! And nasty. I think it's appalling. I remember around the time this show was on, around 2002 etc??

He is a wonderful entertainer and a wonderful Human being. The only other entertainer that I really loved and respected along the same lines was Elvis Presley!

I read his book a number of years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately I am legally blind now with limited vision so I'm unable to read it anymore. I would really love it if he could record it in audio form so that I can "read" (listen) to it again. 💜💜💜💜

Such and true and strong Marriage….Great, beautiful couple❤shows you what, a wonderful person he is, to have a friend of so many years

Amazingly loving family Donny great blessed man♥️👏👏👏

I can't believe this was 23 years ago.

whatever the problems/difficulties Donny had as a dad, he was there to share the experiences of his kids growing up. That is highly commendable because so many high-profile/high-earning fathers just are not there both mentally or emotionally for their kids.

I loved the book, it really gave an insight of his life but I'd love a book that would be only about their childhood, each sibling would write one chapter about their childhood!

I read his book, and loved it.

Three beautiful people.

The US article, although Donny felt betrayed by the writer's spin on his words, did have something positive which resulted from the revelations. It made the Osmonds seem real and just like us. Until that article, the Osmonds appeared to be mystical, righteous, infallible creatures that couldn't possibly have any cracks in their armor. I for one, appreciate "realness" I can relate to, with people I admire.

Marie's outfit is too cute.

I read his book a few years ago but I Don,t know if it is the same one.but it was good.i enjoyed reading it.

PTSD is what he was having from his traumatic life and it always comes out in your 40s or 50s.

They are good couple together god bless Marie vgood at talking to her brother and sister in law good girlxo

Marie is an excellent interviewer, this would’ve been better if it was an extended interview, similar to Barbara Walter or David Letterman’s recent interviews. The audience interferes with the atmosphere.

As a panic disorder sufferer myself, I know the feeling. If not for money and talent, and a good family, Donny may have ended up on the street. That's what a mental condition can do. I've been homeless twice , when I couldn't go to my job because of terrible panic. My sister shamed me , and stopped talking to me. My spouse divorced me ; he thought any chronic mental illness was embarrassing. It turned him off. I hope Donny knows that his wife, his sister, as well as Jimmy , are huge blessings . Not everyone is loved that way.
