For erstwhile "new country" outsider Shania Twain, the commercial impact of her first live video doubtless carries the sweet smell of revenge. Twain's mid-'90s breakthrough, fueled by formidable production polish and carefully groomed videos, conspicuously delayed live shows until long after the expatriate Canadian's success crossed into platinum territory--an omission that prompted some skeptics to theorize that the would-be megastar's talent was accomplished through studio legerdemain. Shania Twain Live may benefit from plenty of polish and more than a little calculation in its staging, but the singer-songwriter's long apprenticeship in lounge bands and resort revues north of the border is apparent. Whether one loves or loathes her songs, Twain herself comes across as a seasoned performer who knows how to work the audience.

Equally apparent, and equally unlikely to resolve the division between fans and foes, is Twain's crossover agenda. Scaled for the arenas that Twain and her handlers targeted early on, the concert is closer in pace and power-chords to a mainstream rock show than most country acts, an orientation that aligns the star with Garth Brooks's swaggering attack rather than most country songstresses. Her band may boast three fiddlers, but their slashing attack emulates the kilowatt buzz of the rock guitarists that share the scrim, who pull off familiar string-bending flourishes. As for the front woman, in her electric-green leopard-print top, hip-hugging pants, and meticulously permed, waist-length hair, she resembles some improbably aerobicized white Rastafarian.

Great Concert!.......2007-05-15

Great DVD of one of Shania's best concerts ever! Though, not as good as seeing her live and shaking her hand!

Great Pop-Country Music.......2007-02-16

I've been a fan of Shania Twain since her first album. I was never a big country music fan, but Shania's music crosses the boundaries of pop, rock and country. I'm a professional musician (drummer for Electric Prunes, Linda Ronstadt, etc.)and I thoroughly enjoyed this video presentation of one of her best live concerts.

Shania Twain - Up (Live in Chicago).......2007-01-10

One of the best "live" DVD concerts I've seen in some time.

Many out there are just average, but this one was extremely well done.

Very fine effort for Shania after just having done both the Grey Cup and Super Bowl halftime shows!.......2006-12-03

Fine LIVE Chicago Concert for girl from
Ontario, who actually (gasp!0 loved the
CFL and NHL growing up! She could have
REALLY impressed us at MYKwebTV by pul-
ling the hat trick and doing the halftime
of the ArenaBowl as well! Excellent set
of thunpin' Country, Rock and combined-
Pop songs here. Pick Up On It!

* Shaina on the Guitar
# Shania singing with a small Orchestra
% Shania playing the drums

The thing I really liked was when Shania asked these 3 little girls to come out and sing the opening of I'm gonna Getcha Good. Those little girls sounded like little angels. Also I enjoyed the part when Shnia was shaking evreyones hand and one girl in the audience was singing part of "She's not just a pretty face" into the Microphone. That girl is so lucky.

The saddest thing is that they don't have the videos and Interviews of Shania's visit to Chicago when she was not onstage. When they shown this concert on NBC and CMT, the best part was Shania getting to play for the Chicago Cubs baseball team for a day and going into the announcer's booth being the guest conductor and leading the crowd in Take me out to the ballgame. I loved that part. That was acually the highlight of Shania's visit to Chicago. It's sad they don't have it on this DVD. Still enjoy the video!

Once an appellation reserved for high-flying operatic stars, the diva has gone mainstream in recent decades, mirroring pop music's post-rock recovery of glitz, glamour, and theatrical hyperbole. Where once there was but a handful of pop divas, fans can now find a growing legion of contenders, a trend underscored by this 1998 cable special originally produced for VH1. The show's producers start with the title's high concept (five divas, one stage!), add an admirable if shrewd charity hook (the better to recruit platinum stars without prohibitive fees), and provide fans with an otherwise straightforward revue, interspersed with introductory cameos from film and television actresses.

For the starring quintet's fans, VH1 Divas Live is hard to disparage: Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, Shania Twain, and Mariah Carey provide the requisite combination of beauty, high-ticket sartorial glamour, and stage drama, and their brief sets hew to their biggest hits. Beyond that common formula, these four do diverge somewhat, Dion and Carey most closely following the mannered tradition of the prima donna, Estefan (who, between songs, admits her bemusement at inclusion) offering an earthier and less calculated variant, and the nominally country-oriented Twain rounding out the headliners as a diva-in-the-making, perfectly packaged if vocally more modest.

A Great Benefit To Support.......2007-03-12

When funding for school music classes were being cut all over the country people kind of brushed it off as a non-necessity. Studies prooved that many kids prosper in other academic subjects when taking a music class. Art should be available for all kids in school as well as sports. This benefit concert brought awareness to that. Mariah, Celine, Gloria & Shania all appeard to support the cause. And of course Ms. Aretha Franklin. The performnaces were great. Carol King was brought out as a special guest of Celine Dion. The best part of the show was when the diva's sang You've Got A Friend and Natural Woman. This show sounds even better with the 5.1 sound.

Unforgettable night... even 8 years later!.......2006-09-13

This concert is amazing! It has everything:
- Great looking divas
- Great performances
- Shania Twain (she's the best in the concert for me)
and of course, appearances by Jennifer Aniston and Patricia Arquette
A MUST-BUY FOR EVERY DIVA FAN!

SPECTACULAR!!!!!!.......2006-07-29

I have seen this video I don't know how many times... I never get tired, It never bores me.... It is the best video I have seen in my life!!! It is trully outstanding... I strongly recommend it.. You will not regret!!

divas are forever.......2006-06-02

i like the show. i bought the dvd and like it so much. i like all of them, mariah, gloria, shania, celine and carole but i kinda dont like aretha she just want to tell everybody that she has high voice but its irritating to hear. I like aretha's songs performed in the show like chain of fools and a natural woman but i dont like her as an artist. I dont know i just dont like black female singers who keeps on shouting when singing. I like the performance done by carole, celine, gloria and shania when they did you've got a friend its perfect and so nice to listen and watch for. if vh1 will do again a show like this pls include already those country singers who are so great as far as i can measure like reba, dolly, loretta, linda ronstadt, brenda lee, leann, faith and the dixie chicks, why are these people left behind when they are the best to showcase their talent?

La Regina Del Soul.......2006-01-23

I thought that this was a great way to start off a series of shows to save the music. But what most people don't know is that it was an unofficial tribute to Aretha Franklin, as noted by VH-1. And righfully so, Aretha is the original diva. her vocals aren't what they were, but she still delivers in a way that leave you breathless. She dominated the stage. All of the other ladies were good as well, but they lack the confidence that Aretha has, which i'm sure comes from a killer voice and also a lifetime of singing.
