Neil Diamond is going to be on?
Okay... I love Neil Diamond also!
Neil still looks great....
I was just gonna say: “Neil Diamond must be turning in his grave”, but there he is on the Idol stage — ALIVE!!
Oops!
Yes Dolly wrote it and sang it first. She also remade it two other times-one of those being a duet with Vince Gill. I loved all of Dolly’s versions!
This live thread online SUCKS.
A friend of the family used to work security at a fancy hotel in Chicago. Neil Diamond complained to security that people were looking at him and he wanted them to stop it.
I can’t see him without thinking of that story.
LOL!
LOL!!
I took my mom to one of his concerts. I have never seen so many middle-aged women sobbing and swaying in one place.
He puts on a great show, that is for sure!
Notice how Reba , Fogerty, Diamond let their voices do the entertaining vs today’s grab yourself version of music.
NEIL!!!
Or is it Sam Donaldson?
They sing "Sweet Caroline"
One of my personal favorites is neil Diamonds Johnathon Livingston Seagull...and the song “Dear Father”
And my other favorite of his.......”If there were no dreams.......and there were no dreamers.......how could I have dreamed you up.....you’re still a mystery to me......................................”
He is a brilliant writer
well they are past the grab yourself years.
Chaka Khan just put Spanx out of business.
Returning to lurking.
I hope they do NOT bring Screamtasia back to sing with him.
No sooner did you type those words than she appeared, lol
I needed earplugs.
Excellent Sam vs Neil graphic.
LOL.......
Nooooooooooooooooo!
Oh No!!! Hide your dog quick. Deandre is singing with the guys. Thoudsands of dogs across America will be suffering brain hemmorrhages if he goes falsetto. I am surprised that PETA hasn’t gone after AI for this yet.
ANswer..........to the old timers, it is about the MUSIC........to the kids nowdays...it is about ME ME ME
