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. <sighing> 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.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Destiny's Child's first DVD collection
Review: First, let me gripe: the packaging on this collection boasts that all the singles on this video collection are Number One hits. Not true. "No, No, No" was a No. 3 hit, and "Bug-a-Boo" barely checked into the Top 40. Despite this falsehood, "Platinum's on the Wall" is a good but not great DVD collection; the best of the bunch, hands down, is the hot video to "Say My Name." Otherwise, there are no extras on this DVD: no lyrics, no discography, no interview footage, nada. Diehards who just want the hits should purchase this, but everyone else should really avoid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: stay
Review: i think this song is madd hot.This girls are so great.They are smart cute and funny and have a good sence of humor.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Even if you're a Destiny's child fan BEWARE of this DVD
Review: I'm a big Destiny's Child fan but in all honesty i am dissapointed with this DVD.For a start there seem to be some of the best videos missing,it's great to have the classic hits,but where is their second hit 'With Me' or the video to the duet they released in the UK with 'Mathew Marsden'.Also missing is the video to one of their best songs 'get on the Bus'(which is a bonus track on the UK edition of 'The writings on the wall' and as the DVD's called 'The Platinums on the wall' they could have included that at least.Also missing are the videos to 'Independant Women' and 'Survivor' no doubt on the NEXT DVD they try to rip us off with.there are no behind the scenes or interviews and Michelle is on the front when she doesn't even SING in any of the featured videos.What about LaTavia and LaToya(The original sassy members)A BIG let down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I THINK THE DVD WAS HOT
Review: THE REASON I THINK IT WAS SO GOOD IS BECAUSE I LOVE DESTINY'S CHILD AND ALL THE SONGS THEY HAD ON THERE WERE THE BEST.I ALSO LIKE THE PEOPLE IN THE SO SO DEF REMIX, BECAUSE I LOVE LIL BOW WOW.I LIKE THE OUTFITS THEY HAVE ON IN THE NO,NO,NO REMIX.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OK, but not the best
Review: This DVD includes PCM Stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. It also contains 6 music videos in their entirety: "No, No, No Pt.1 (which is a rarely seen video by them; the first time I saw it was when I bought this DVD)," "No, No, No pt.2," "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Bug a Boo," "Say My Name," and "Jumpin, Jumpin (remix w/ Lil Bow Wow, JD, and Da Brat)." The cover is misleading because it only has Kelly, Beyonce,and Michelle on the cover; some people may think there are videos by the current Destiny's Child lineup on the DVD (such as Survivor and Independent Women). The cover should also include Letoya and Latavia (they were in the first 4 videos) and Farrah (she was in the last 2). I also think that they should have included the "With Me" video (it was the second single after No No No; it is a good video) and the original version of "Jumpin Jumpin." The biography wasn't that great, either. It just consists of a list of the chart position and sells of their albums and singles, appearances, and a few awards. But the most of the videos on here are great!

Summary: Love Destiny's Child... but was dissapointed with this dvd.
Review: Well let me preface this by saying that i am in love with Destiny's Child. Ask anybody i work with. I listen to their album "The Writing's On The Wall" all the time. almost everyday. It is one of my favorites. But anyway when i found out this dvd was coming out i was sooo juiced because i could get all their videos. and more than that i was hoping they would have some extra's like live performances or interviews. but when i got the dvd and watched it. no such luck. It's just 6 videos...

1. No No No Part One (the slow one) 2. No No No Part Two (with wyclef) 3. Bills Bills Bills 4. Bug A Boo 5. Say My Name (say my name... if no one is around you say baby i love you if you ain't running game... MY FAVORITE SONG!!! PERIOD. DOT) 6. Jumpin Jumpin (so so def remix)

another reason i didn't like this dvd too much is cos they had other videos that they could have put on here as bonuses. they have "With Me Part One" which came out in 98 but wasn't that succesful. The same for "Get On THe Bus" from the Why Do Fools Fall In Love soundtrack. Also i remember that they had a remix video for "Bug A Boo" and i was sooo mad that they didn't include the original version of "jumpin jumpin" on here.

I have jennifer lopez's dvd and love it. Her dvd has like almost 10 videos on it total with remixes and live performances... AND it had an interview segment and all these other behind the scenes stuff. So does Whitney houston's dvd. It has LOADS of extra stuff, even tho they already have like 21 videos already. So i know whut dvd's are capable of. that is why i'm dissapointed that destiny's child pretty much cheated me out of my money.

but again i love them. and it's cool that i can see their videos anytime i want. Just wish there was more for my money!!

Summary: well...
Review: Well seeing as I do like Destiny's child (Original first).. But this dvd/video was a waste of time and energy. Not to mention money. Everything that you see on it DVD/VHS.. if things you can record off the TV your darn self. lol. But if you like to see video from beginning to end maybe you'll like this... Oh yeah.. Ever notice that the "platinums" on the wall, on the video/dvd are all with the original members....I thought it was just me.
