This was an AMAZING concert! I only wish I could have been in the Conference Center to hear it live. What a blessing it was aired on TV so I could enjoy it anyway.
I loved Donny's performance of "Whenever You're in Trouble". I didn't know the story behind the song and the video footage accompanying the song just added to the beauty. Especially the painting of the Savior at the end of the song. Very touching.
I was touched by "Are You Up There?/I Believe". In all my years of listening to the Osmonds I can't believe I've missed this one. Or maybe I don't remember it. I did see the Osmond Brothers a VERY long time ago in concert at the Calgary Stampede. Beautiful song with an absolutely wonderful message.
I can't think of a better way to end a world tour of such a wonderful celebration. I began listening to the Osmonds while living in Calgary as a teenager. I loved being able to listen to music that I didn't have to worry about and, even better, the artists led clean lives instead of wallowing in drugs and immorality.
Congratulations on your 50 years in entertainment. You have blessed countless lives by your music and your example.
