Shania Twain - The Platinum Collection

Starring:Shania Twain
Studio: Mercury Nashville
Product Type: DVD
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Nothing encourages one to ignore those silly contradictions in Shania Twain's music (is she country? is she pop?) like a collection of her highly playful videos. The Platinum Collection rolls right over boundaries of tradition and genre with its concentration of imaginative, often surprising visuals. "The Woman in Me," for instance, is set among Egypt's pyramids, while "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" finds a stunning Twain fronting a band of mindless hunks in a funny reversal of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video. "You're Still the One," easily one of Twain's most affecting songs, still holds up as a softly erotic short film. Even Twain's more prosaic videos (the go-kart mania of "You Win My Love") bear repeat viewing, but it's her heck-with-it aesthetic that leads to such unexpected sights as Irish step dancing in "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)." Then, of course, there are those hot pants in "Rock This Country!" Long may Shania wave. --Tom Keogh

Shania Twain Platinum Collection DVD.......2007-07-06
This is a great DVD - Shania Twain is awesome. I actually thought I ordered the CD but I accidentally ordered the DVD what a PLEASANT surprise. I highly recommend this DVD!!!
Up Up Up.......2006-11-10
Great Collection! This really showcases Shania's different styles of video. A fun DVD. "From This Moment" is my husband's and my favorite!
Barbi Doll.......2006-04-02
I don't really like video collections. Live music is so much more interesting. The only exception I can think of to that rule is the video collection by Tom Petty, because he put out the most imaginative and well produced videos.
I'd much rather see Shania actually singing and relating to an audience than lipping it to these recorded songs. The only songs on this vid that are live are the last two, and one of them is the boring Rock This Country, one of her weakest songs, a sort of takeoff on Donnie and Marie's I'm A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll.
It's mostly all glitz and glitter. It's mostly just seeing the latest outfit and makeup Shania is wearing. That is superficial. Let's have a real person instead. I don't care about the outfits and the makeup. Seeing her pretend to sing just doesn't cut it. I've heard these exact versions of the songs plenty of times. Come On Over is a fantastic album.
She looks great, particularly in her Hawaiian look during the romantic You've Got A Way. I love that song and I love her Hawaiian look. It's all so romantic. I'm not wild about her look when she's wearing slacks or sweat pants. It makes the bottom half of her look so ordinary and boring. She looks so much better in something feminine. Sporty Spice is not a turn on and is not romantic.
If you want to turn it up a notch in your music videos, pick up somebody's live performance. It's a whole different feeling. Granted, some of them aren't the greatest, but when they are good, they are a lot better than this. You actually see a real person on stage. Not just Barbi Doll in her newest outfit and makeup.
Her music videos, part 1.......2006-03-21
Her most recent hits are NOT included in this collection. This package covers up to "Come On Over"... and includes most of her hits from the 90s and early 00s. This is, though, an interesting look at how a superstar made the transition from country bumpkin' to international "don't-peg-me-as-country-anything-my-image-is-universal" pop star. The package starts with Shania's country roots as she sings her earliest hits and looks more like a Loretta Lynn-wannabe than the Sporty Spice clone her handlers transformed her into when "Come On Over" launched her into superstar territory. It also shows how flashy music videos progressed over the past 15 years. Unless you're a diehard Shania fan from her early years, you'll only be watching the second half of this collection. There's even a couple of live concerts clips to break up her later videos, which have lots to do with "artsy" and little to do with the lyrics. If you're into close-ups of her piercing eyes and high cheekbones, you won't be disappointed. She's one of the most photogenic singer/songwriters this hemisphere has offered in decades... and some of the songs are catchy, too.
