Review:
Donny is an evellent performer. The material he performs in concert contains a variety of notes that Mr, Osmond guys with perfection. He becomes his music. They are one. His dance last week failed to exhibit this oneness. Last night he did it. He became one with his dance. Excellent performance Donny!
