Summary: Eatin' Some Crow About D'sC...
Review: ...time, they say, heals all wounds. And I guess I can forgive and forget about that tune that had all the Brubbas, including me, up in arms, "Bills, Bills, Bills". Now, I can laugh at it because, well, I am not that kinda dude...I think. Well, this video showcase has helped me, also. It only has six of their videos from the old days and they show the clientele growing and changing before your eyes. "Bills..." is a bit humorous, even.
But my favorites are "Bug a Boo", (a toss of a pager always gets me to chuckling because I know how it feels to be incessantly paged) and "Say my Name" with it's quick change color-scheme and set designs. "No, No, No" part I shows how really young the ladies were--and how quickly time passes by. I got this one for my daughter last year and every now and then she plays it to sing along with the ladies. Which, now, I figure is not such a bad thing...

Summary: Bow Wow; Jay Z and Da Bratt need not apply
Review: Although Destiny's Child has not been around long enough to have a lot of videos, the ones that they have so far are all very good. The only thing keeping this DVD from getting a full five stars was that it should have included Independent Woman and maybe a few more extras (behind the scene footage, interviews, etc) to make up for the small amount of videos. Even without these things the collection would have been awesome if the original version of Jumpin Jumpin had been included. Lil Bow Wow, Da Bratt and Jay-Z really took alot out of the song and weren't needed at all....END

Summary: The original is always better...
Review: And the same applies to Destiny's Child, which is why I enjoy this DVD so much. I love seeing the four original members. The videos are hot, with each girl adding her own unique charm to the overall product. Everyone seems to love the "Say My Name" video, but I view it as a letdown from the earlier videos. Luckett and Roberson brought sassiness to the group, and once they are no longer featured in the videos, the entertainment value suffers.

Summary: Destiny's Child's brilliant sophomore album
Review: Destiny's Child's brilliant sophomore album, "The Writing's On The Wall" has sold over six million copies in the U.S. alone and yielded four Number One singles.
Destiny's Child were introduced to the world with their debut single "No, No, No" and soon after it's release, the single jumped to the top of the charts worldwide and went Plantinum making way for the group that would soon be crowned the Top Selling Female Group. Hit by hit, "Bills, Bills, Bills", "Bug A Boo", "Say My Name" and "Jumpin' Jumpin'" all topped the singles charts and became the hottest jams in the clubs and the streets.
If you love your R&B music then you're going to love "Destiny's Child's - The Platinum's On The Wall"

Summary: Great, but could be a lot better ^-^
Review: Destiny's Child: The Platinum's On The Wall is a video that only contains music videos, which feature Destiny's Child #1 hits. Here are the list of music videos:

[No No No, Part 1 - This is the really slow version of the song.] ]No No No, Part 2 - This is the remix done by Wyclef Jean, the dance remix. This is so much better then No No No, Part 1.] [Bills Bills Bills] [Bug A Boo - For some reason they didn't include the remix to Bug A Boo, which was a GREAT video.] [Say My Name - The best music video on this tape] [Jumpin Jumpin [So So Def Remix] - Don't get me wrong I love Da Brat, but this song feature some over rappers. The other rappers killed the song, while Da Brat gave the song more flavor.]

Why this video wasn't a 5 star tape: The original video for Jumpin' Jumpin' wasn't here, just music videos isn't all that great, and so much more could have been added to this video like: interviews, the girls could have talk about past members, and behind the looks on the making of each video.

Summary: LIL BOW WOW STEAL'S THE SHOW
Review: EVEN THOUGH I LIKE THE OTHER DESTINY CHILD VIDEOS THE ONE I LIKED BEST WAS THE JUMPIN, JUMPIN SO,SO DEF REMIX BECAUSE IT HAD LIL BOW WOW IN IT.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: How disapointed I am
Review: First of all I have to complain about the interface on this DVD, its just plain weak. The whole thing is just blurry and ruins the whole DVD for me.

My second complaint is that Jumpin Jumpin is a remix and a bad remix at that. I like lil bow wow he's mad, but he does not sound good on the song at all.

My third complaint is why Survivor And Independent Woman Part 1 are not on the DVD. I could understand Survivor cause there is a DVD single available but Independent Woman can't be bought on CD or DVD anywhere. Also where is Get On The Bus, I cant really remember this video that clearly so its even more annoying not to have it on the DVD.

Independent Woman from the Brits was a great live performance but it was on a single in high quality already so this just feels like a waste of time. But then why was their not more live stuff on the DVD ? I think it would have been great if there was lots of live stuff and interviews.

The one thing I will say is that the seven videos that are here (oh yes there are only seven videos in total) they are all very high quality (unlike the interface of the DVD)

I have to say this DVD is not even for the most dedicated Destiny's Child fans and really seems to have been put out quick to capitalize from the release of their new album.

Great Group, Great Music, Great Videos, Really Bad DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Destiny's Child showcases a slew of MTV-ready music videos.
Review: First of all, in reference to another reviewers remarks...

If you are interested in owning the music video for "Independent Women Part I," you can purchase the Charlie's Angels DVD. The full-length music video is one of the DVD's bonus features.

If you are interested in owning the music video for "Survivor," you can purchase the Survivor DVD single.

Moving on to this music video... I am most disappointed by the group's complete and utter disrespect for their past. Despite the cover image, new recruit Michelle did not sing a single note on ANY of the songs included (even the two music videos of which she is seen in). Why, then, are we subjected to seeing her face on the DVD cover? Well, because it'll probably sell better that way. Oh well.

The DVD is oh-kay, but seeing as how Destiny's Child don't really have many videos released, it can only go so far.

My only other comment is that (and I agree with the other reviewers) it was a poor decision to include the So So Def remix of "Jumpin' Jumpin'" rather than the regularly rotated original version. In the end, though, it doesn't matter, as "Jumpin' Jumpin'" is one of the weaker videos featured here.

The best cuts are "Bills, Bills, Bills" (with its "rumors erupting at the hairdresser's" motif) and "Say My Name" (a hot and colorful clip with great set design and slick but subtle choreography). The ladies' other hot cut "Independent Women Part I" is not included here, but as previously mentioned, you can get it on the Charlie's Angels DVD (which, while we're on the topic is a great DVD).

So, all in all, The Platinum's On The Wall is a decent (albeit too soon) video collection from the harmonious ladies of Destiny's Child.
