I grew up with the Osmonds. OK, wait. I didn't grow up with them. When I was a kid, I was into them all through elementary school. I was am a huge dork. I stopped listening to them when I hit junior high.
Maybe this is one reason I love Glee. The boy singers on Glee, except for Curt, aren't very good on their own. Same with the Osmonds. I know Donny was a standalone sensation but that was because he was the Justin Bieber of his time.
When Puck sang "Only the Good Die Young," I thought, "Wow Puckerman. You are so incredibly cute and totally old enough for me to crush on. And when I listen to this song without the corresponding video imagery, you remind me of Jay Osmond." I think that's Jay in front. It's still hard for me to tell them apart.
It's the same voice quality. But without the visual, it's nothing to scream about.
