Free Music Notes for The Best of Donny & Marie Osmond - 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection
Free Music Review: and THIS they call a "best of" compilation ???
Hit: 3 Stars
20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection - The Best of Donny & Marie Osmond is a disappointing CD because yet again 20th Century Masters has taken a fine pair of artists and whittled them down to a measly twelve tunes and then had the audacity to call this a "best of" compilation. Oh, come on! There's so much more music and hits from these two that I don't know to laugh or cry. Now don't get me wrong--I have no quarrel with the songs on this album; they're really very good. However, the brevity of the CD does bother me--and it should bother you, too, if you're a fan of Donny and Marie Osmond.
"I'm Leaving It All Up To You" starts things off with Donny and Marie harmonizing so sweetly it charms me completely. The fine musical arrangement complements their singing to perfection; and when they sing this song of the vulnerability we all experience when we're starting or rekindling a love affair it is truly something we can all relate to sooner or later. "Let It Be Me" is a beautiful cover and Donny and Marie are featured right in the spotlight--exactly where they belong! "Let It Be Me" uses the strings section well and Donny and Marie sing this with passion; they truly delve into this tune to make it a highlight of this album.
"It Takes Two" is another cover of a tune that impresses me with its natural appeal and beauty; Donny and Marie belt this one out with all their hearts and souls and I predict that you'll like "It Takes Two" if you haven't heard it before. Great! "Living on My Suspicion" has a slow beat that sounds pretty good to me; and listen especially for Donny and Marie to do a smash-up job on "Deep Purple." "Deep Purple" has been performed by many artists; but I honestly believe that when Donny and Marie sing this they nail it to perfection--it's my favorite rendition of this ballad.
"It's All In The Game" is a lovely cover of a very old song that was partly written by a former vice president; and Donny and Marie do this great justice with their superlative harmonizing and that sublime Osmond sound. "It's All In The Game" is yet another highlight of this album. There's also a touching version of "Paper Roses;" "Paper Roses" gets a country flavored arrangement that works wonders for this ballad; and when Marie sings this she takes it to new heights.
The CD ends well with Donny and Marie Osmond performing "Who's Sorry Now?" This Connie Francis tune has a fine interpretation that would have made Connie so proud! The country flavored version of this classic love song makes it shine and this is a very strong ending for this album.
Too bad they didn't include a few extra songs on this album; this is too incomplete to be any type of "best of" compilation. Donny and Marie are so special, too, which makes it all the more aggravating! Three stars for being too short--sorry, folks.
