Rating: Summary: Totally Diva but Somewhat Disappointing Review: One of my favorite music video compilations, Annie Lennox shines in a great selection of music videos. Be forewarned, while the sticker on the outside of the box touts a "remastered 5.1 mix", it is purely a linear PCM mix, which sounds fine, but ultimately disappoints due to creating expectations that are never met. I was somewhat disappointed in the video transfer too. It's not bad, but I have the Japanese import Laserdisc, and the color and sound are much better on the LD than on this DVD. However, this DVD does support more detail in every frame, and for the price, don't hesitate to buy it. A word to BMG....It's a shame that mislabelings and a lack of an insert plague this release, as they do with the Eurythmics Greatest Hits on DVD, (which, by the way, has the best video transfer that the Greatest Hits video compilation has ever seen!) Is there any sort of quality control that goes into your releases? I felt cheated as a consumer with mislabeling, but happy to finally have Annie and the Eurythmics Greatest Hits on DVD. I hope future BMG releases are taken a bit more seriously within BMG.....

Rating: Summary: Marks off for Imcomplete Review: These videos look like they were shot on the cheap after the production company blew their budget on the videos for "Little Bird" and "Walking on Broken Glass" - both of which are conspicuously absent from this collection. Lennox and co. do their best with bare-bones minimal sets, costuming and camera angles, but it's just not enough to sustain interest for the full length of the tape. Lennox fans wanting to complete their collections shouldn't be put off, but those looking only for the hits from Diva should look elsewhere.
Rating: Summary: Nice disc Review: This expanded collection of videos from Annie Lennox's first solo album is a good bargain and certainly a must for fans. The original VHS 'Diva' collection was released too early to include the videos 'Walking on Broken Glass' (featuring an appearance by John Malkovich) and 'Precious' which later became singles and are presented here. Sadly, 'Little Bird' remains unavailable on video, represented here only by an instrumental mix over the end credits. Fans should note that this collection is the only place to hear as well as see two exclusives, 'Remember' (which isn't labeled but is included) and an extended version of 'Keep Young & Beautiful'. Video quality is fair. Unfortunately the source videotape has some anomalies such as video creases and dropouts, but they are infrequent. Audio is not the advertised 5.1 but rather PCM stereo only, which still provides crisp, CD quality sound.
