| This DVD is a collection of MTV style music videos, live performances, and selected additional material including interviews and "making of" segments. It is a DVD you can watch over and over. I see and hear something new every time I watch it.
Whitney Houston has never been a great stage performer, but her voice and her music are powerful, soulful and personal. Her music has seemed to reflect her personal life in ways which are sometime haunting, sometimes tinged with sadness, but always beautiful. "Its Not Right But Its OK", "Heartbreak Hotel", "I Will Always Love You" hold such deeply intense meaning for this performer. Perhaps her success stems from the fact that she can bring such emotion to the songs she chooses. American Idol contestants and other wannabees...take note!
Given her recent personal difficulties, the music takes on an even more intensely personal tone. When I watch the live performance of "Didn't We Almost Have it All?" she I have the sense that she is speaking to someone who isn't in the audience. You wonder if she was aware that she was perhaps foreshadowing events in her life. In "Step By Step", she goes back to her gospel roots and gives a great performance.
The segments on this DVD sample the range of music...from pop to R&B to gospel...that Whitney Houston has masterfully navigated through her career.
I hope one day she will share her voice with us again and perform many of these songs that may have deeper meaning for her...and us...now more than ever. |

| This dvd made me want to "dance with somebody" in front of my television. It sounds sooo great especially with the enhancement of 5.1 Dolby Digital. Along with the regular music videos, there are also few live performances. You are definitely getting your money's worth with this purchase. If you grew up in the 80's, then you must add this dvd to your collection. It's just perfect. Good old fashioned artistic videos, with clean positive themes. And without a bunch of huchy mamas giggling around, like what there is nowadays in current music videos. |
| Rating | | | Date | August 19, 2004 | | Summary | Where are the duet videos? | Content
| "If I Told You That" (with George Michael)
"Same Script Different Cast" (with Deborah Cox)
"When You Believe" (with Mariah Carey)
They all had videos and they all were great duets. You don't get to see two superstars together very often (Deborah Cox hasn't become a superstar but she deserves to be one)

| I received this DVD as a Christmas present and let me tell you, it is excellent. There are so many videos that Whitney has made over the years as an artist. And when you first view the DVD, there's a short intro made by Whitney herself, as well as a fun and interactive menu of what you want to watch. I enjoyed the interviews of Whitney and Clive Davis. One thing that made me laugh is seeing all of her old videos that she made in the 80's. It's amazing to see how much the style of pop music has changed. To sum up, this DVD is rich with Whitney material that won't put you down at all. |
