Osmond Army Invades Chicago

Various Osmonds assembled at a Chicago airport, where the nearly 100 of them took up most of a terminal. Security!


The grieving group is gathering for the funeral of Osmond family patriarch, George, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 90. Services were held Friday in Utah.

92. Barbara said it quite nicely. Entertainment is obviously subjective. If you don't like the Osmonds, it's quite simple -- turn off the TV. For those of us who are trying to teach values and character and morales to our children, the Osmonds are a family to look up to. Surround yourselves with loved ones who will be with you through good times and bad. Treat others the way you want to be treated. My children didn't get to watch trash on TV. They watched the Osmonds every chance they got! My daughters recognize talent when they see it.

93. Everybody please remember to vote for someone other than Marie on DWTS!!! If you don't normally vote then vote for the thrill of it in seeing this b!tch go home where she belongs. Now it looks like the other ham, Donnie, might be on next year. What a bummer as these freaks are so YESTERDAY's news. I can't stand any of them.

94. Sure, they can come off as cheesy soemtimes, but I have always admired the Osmond family because of their values and talent. I don't always agree with their Mormon beliefs, but I respect the family for being true to their beliefs and for the way the treat others.

Marie does not get the respect she deserves as a businesswoman and philanthropist! She has built from scratch a multi-million dollar doll empire on QVC, raised eight children (four of whom were adopted), and is the co-founder along with John Schneider of the Children's Miracle Network. This charity raises millions for children and does not take out administrative costs from the donations, which nmost charities do. Marie funds the cost of maintaining the CMN herself.

95. My Goodness, I can't believe how cruel and mean spirited some of the people are that have written commnents about the Osmonds.
My God they are not double murderers, rapists, dope addict thugs like most of the people that TMZ writes stories about.

96. The Osmonds are awesome people and full of life - get over it! SAPS!
It's what's inside that counts. Perfection? Not !
You can't get that kind of love in one family in most US families these days.
The world is a better place because of them.
Touche to Oprah!
Celebrate good times come on!

97. ENOUGH OF MARIE!! She is not the BEST dancer on Dancing with the Stars, but she is getting the "Sympathy" & "Mormon" votes & will probally win on that!!!

98. A lot of people are jealous of the Osmond family but I think it is more envy. Wouldn't you like to have a close nit supported family. As for the great number of Osmonds, so what, they are human they all try to do their best. As for being Mormon, at least they believe in something positive and they practice what they preach.
About their father dying. When someone has lived a full life and has that many years why not celebrate it. It is sad but the Osmonds are concentrating on what their dad gave and not what was taken away. They wanted their father with their mother.
A lot of divorcing women should take a tip from Marie and get on with lives and be busy and do something positive.

99. People, NO ONE thinks they are better just because they have more kids than the next guy - where do you get that? They just have a greater appreciation for fun is all. How boring to come from a family with only 1 or no other siblings, can't think of anything more boring. Big families rock and this world is not overpopulated. The best city in the world is New York City. Have you ever flown across this country and seen from the air how little this country is populated. There is hardly anyone down there from the air! Get off your high horse and into an airplane for a birdseye view of how populated we are.

100. Oh for crying out loud. Grow up will you? If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all/ Who cares if they're Mormons, how many kids they have or if they did Oprah instead of grieving at Fathers grave? I grew up with their music and I thank them for the wonderful music and memories through the years. I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting them all except for the Mother and the three older brothers. After meeting them it's easy to see why we've all fallen of love with them all these years. They put you right at ease right away. As nervous as you are they calm you down right away. They set a great example for the rest of the Show Business world.

101. I enjoyed watching Marie Osmond on Dancing with the stars. I live them because they are clean cut family. It sad if you don't look like trash you are consider a freak. That why there are so many screwed up kids in this world. They have no morals and no respect. o i am not a mormon though I don't believe in the faith. I respect them. Their are lots of regilons that i don't believe in but everyone has the right to pick what they believe in.
