Rating: Summary: What the heck! Review: I just saw the broadcast of this show over here in Singapore (like half a year later!) and I was pretty impressed and keen to get the DVD! BUT when i found out from the tracklist that they took out the the duet between Cher and Cyndi, Whitney and Mary, and EVEN the shoten terrific Elvis medley to ONLY 4, I was TOTALLY [cheesed] and disappointed!!! You dun expect me to get this! I would rather juz download the FULL, broadcasted show from somewhere in the net than to spend $$ on this! What's wrong with these people who make the decisions!!! Not only its poor marketing, it certainly dun help to beat the piracy!!! Good luck!!!
Rating: Summary: Good for Celine and Cher Review: I really did not like this Divas Live because there were only two artists on it that I like and that's Celine Dion and Cher. I muted my TV when the rest of them came on. So it really doesn't bother me that they cut most all of the songs on this DVD. Just as long as Celine still gets to sing "I'm Alive" I'm happy.
Rating: Summary: This DVD blows BIG TIME... Review: I saw "VH1 Divas Las Vegas" when it first aired in May of 2002. It was done fairly well considering the lineup was put together all wrong--Stevie Nicks and Cyndi Lauper should have been main performers, whilst Dixie Chicks and Shakira should have been the special guests. The performances were not earth shattering, but they were good nonetheless. Mary J. Blige poured her heart and soul into "No More Drama." Diva-in-the-making Anastacia worked the stage like a seasoned pro. Stevie Nicks was good but her voice sounded a little weak. Celine was fantastic as usual--especially during her duet of "You Shook Me All Night Long" with Anastacia. Cyndi Lauper's appearance left me wanting more. I was unimpressed by the Dixie Chick's performance (Why couldn't they have performed "I Can Love You Better"?) Shakira was good but her unusual wattle of a voice kepy making my skin crawl. In short, I liked the concert enough to buy the DVD only to find that half the show has been omitted. NOTE TO ALL MARY, WHITNEY AND CYNDI FANS: Don't buy this DVD! All of Mary's performances were cut (including her duet with Whitney). Apparently Mary's record label would not allow her to be inlcluded. Cyndi's performance was cut due to her on-going fued with Epic records. VH1 needs to work out kinks such as these before they expect us to pay a sh--load of money for only HALF of what we expect to receive.
Rating: Summary: Save who's music??? Review: I thought this show was to SAVE THE MUSIC as was meant to be, but they forgot to SAVE SOME ARTISTS MUSIC by editing a little too much on this DVD, i feel ripp off. i saw the show on tv and couldnt wait to have the DVD to really enjoy a better quality of sound and picture, and here i was by the day it was released, just feeling angry after i played and watch the whole thing, wondering if my copy was defective,or probably i got a special rated version or who knows, after doing some searching i realized that that the way it was, and i've been waiting to see if they might release a DIVAS LAS VEGAS 2002 "PART II" or director cut edition, or extended version...whatever put the songs and artists back to the show,like CYNDI LAUPER and CHER duet, but as today, my guess is they are no gonna do it. My advice: DON'T BUY IT, just wait to see it on VH1 and record it, so you will have the whole show. Save the money and buy new CYNDI LAUPER standard's album "AT LAST" instead.
Rating: Summary: Great performances by everyone Review: I was especially glad to see Stevie Nicks duet with the chicks. Maybe next time Nicks won't be just a special guest.
Rating: Summary: Great concert and singers but TERRIBLE production. Review: It's a pitty that a concet such as this one didn't have a good video and cd production. The singers were great (Celine Dion, Anastacia, Cher, Dixie Chicks and Shakira). The first song it's the best one, the AC-DC cover "You shook me all night long" were you can see and hear two real divas (Celine and Anastacia). Cher also made a great work dressed as Elvis. In fact the live show was amazing but the edition on dvd and cd was terrible, the label left on a side several songs. I hope that one day they release the complete version because this one is shameful.
Rating: Summary: Rip-off!!!! Review: My favorites of the night were the Dixie Chicks . They were so awesome. Why did you cut some of their songs off the dvd.It ruined the whole dvd for me. Actually the whole show was edited really horrible.
Rating: Summary: Divas missing Review: My opinion is that the whole show should have been in tact. Some of us prefer one artist over the other. I am disappointed to hear that the duet with Cher and Cyndi were left out. Those 2 artist are a legend in their own time. Really bad mistake mad there......
Rating: Summary: 5 stars only for CHER Review: Solamente compre este dvd por CHER que es mi cantante favorita y la unica Diva del show, me parecio mal que cortaran tantas presentaciones como la de CHER y CINDYpues en el dvd despues que termina de cantar song for the lonely en una de las pantallas se ve cuando aparece Cindy e inmediatamente apareca la unica que no era diva(shakira).Medesagrado que en el dvd juntaran las presentaciones de CHER y shakira ya que esta no le llega ni a los talones a CHER.¿que no le dio vergüenza a shakira pisar el mismo escenario que las artistas mas grandes del mundo?. En el audio 5.1(en believe) la voz original de CHER es remplazada y parece que no esta cantando en vivo pero esto no sucede con PCM y puedes disfrutar la voz en vivo de CHER, ambos audios son grandiosos al igual que la imagen(1.33:1). Las presentaciones de Celine y Anastacia tambien son espectaculares.
Rating: Summary: Cher Shines... Review: Some fo the Greatest Musical talents in the world share the stage in an atmosphere of emotion, mixed joy and excitement. 'Divas Las Vegas' is another entry for the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. A big portion of this concert is left on 'the cutting room floor' for various reasons leaving us with a condensed concert that focuses on the highlights of the evening. The Divas this time around include Cher, Celine Dion, Shakira, Anastacia, Dixie Chicks & Stevie Nicks. The Elvis Medley Finale with all the Divas performing Elvis tunes gives us an experience that will never be forgotten.
