For those who haven`t been counting, THIS IS THE MOMENT represents approximately the fourth stage in Donny Osmond`s musical life. The first was his work with the Osmond Brothers, the second his partnership with sister Marie, while his first "comeback" occurred with his pop-R&B solo smash "Soldier of Love."
Over a decade later, he returned again, this time reincarnated as a hip interpreter of songs from contemporary, pop-oriented Broadway musicals. You won`t hear any constipated crooning of songs from CATS here; instead, Osmond offers a funky version of "Seasons of Love" from RENT, a dance-pop take on "No Matter What" from WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND, and a good natured, synth-colored romp with Rosie O`Donnell through TOY STORY`s "You`ve Got a Friend in Me." Osmond even reaches back to the classic musical GUYS & DOLLS for an angular, funky update of "Luck Be a Lady," aptly demonstrating both his originality and his sense of history.
