What I Meant to Say continues 1970s superstar Donny Osmond's comeback, which began more or less with his role in the revival of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. The title tune ably demonstrates Osmond's ease with his long-patented brand of pop. The CD also includes the single "Breeze on By," a carefree summery number. Sharing song writing credits with Bobby Womack and Gary Barlow, the tune demonstrates the MOR pop polish of the album to perfection. Ensuring there are plenty of cuts for future singles, the album features a very relaxed new version of the Bacharach/David classic "This Guy's In Love With You," which Osmond originally recorded in the 1970s. Those of a certain age will go weak at the knees recapturing their teenage years swooning over Donny, while the still good-looking Mr. Osmond may well capture an entirely new generation of young hearts with this perfectly produced pop collection. --Gary Dalkin
