Summary: A good DVD but not a good make
Review: This is a great DVD but be aware when you go buy one in store. When it gets through track 14, it woudn't go to track 15. My DVD player stopped right there. I asked Tower Record in San Francisco, they told me they got some complaints about that already. So be prepared when you go buy one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An incredible DVD
Review: This is a great dvd that fully entertained me. It has 23 videos (the new version that is out there right now has 2 extra videos), some unbelievable live performances, great interviews, behind the scenes footage and other things that I'm probably forgetting. Whitney is a very beautiful woman to look at, she's gorgeous! As for her talent, in my opinion she's the greatest singer of all-time and this dvd proves it.

The highlights of the dvd in my opinion are the amazing "One Moment In Time at the grammy's", the historic "The Star Spangled Banner at Superbowl XXV" and Whitney's great & long interview where she talks about several important moments in her career. There are so many videos on it, you can never be bored. It has also so many great performances like "Why Does It Hurt So Bad on MTV movie awards", her first ever TV performance singing "Home" and I could go on forever!!

IMO, anybody who's a fan of Whitney Houston or anyone who simply is a little bit interested in her should get the dvd. It's full of hours of entertainement. The sound & picture are also great (but of course the sound in a performance like "Home in 1985" doesn't sound as good as for example "My Love is Your Love live in germany 1999" obviously because it's much older, but it still sounds great).

In conclusion, I have no complaints & I think that this is one of the best dvds I own. Everyone should get it & I really hope Whitney releases other music dvds soon!

Summary: A Great DVD!
Review: This is a great DVD! But I must admit some of her oldest videos looked a little silly right now! But hte muzik iz good! She's got the voice and the talent! The worst thing about this DVS iz that some videos are missing: "Shoop Song", "Something In Common", "When You Believe", "It's Not Right But It's Okay (thunderpuss remix)", "Could I Have This Kiss Forever", "If I Told You That", "Watchulookinat", "One Of Those Days" and "Try It On My Own"... Maybe there will be a re-edition... I hope they will include her incredible live performance with Bobby "My Love"...

Summary: Outstanding compilation
Review: This is one of the very first DVDs I ever owned. I was truly looking forward to having it when I first saw it; it truly is one of the most comprehensive DVDs out there, featuring almost every video she ever put out, including some live performances and exclusive misc stuff. It's a little bit outdated now as she's released a few more videos after that (starting with "If I Told You That", thru "Fine", "Could I Have This Kiss Forever", "Watchulookinat", "One Of Those Days" and "Try It On My Own") but if you want her best stuff, this is the one to get. It doesn't get much better than this... and you can see the way she's changed as the years have passed. The songs are good and the looks don't dissapoint, if anything, somtimes they can be quite hilarious.
I don't like the photo shoot segment as she looks a bit too "diva-like", toying around in a sort of childish manner, for a woman her age. Don't like the diva pose... but I love the music! Get this!

Ps. They could have included the Thunderpuss dance version of "It's Not Right But It's OK" but I won't hold it against them. Hehe.

Summary: Whitney's Videos
Review: This overall is a very good collection. Much of her videos are here, a lot of them but not all of them. Everything from You Give Good Love to I Learned From The Best, with the exception of the inexcused absences of Run To You, I Believe In You And Me, Exhale, I Have Nothing, Im Every Woman, etc, which I find puzzling because they are on the cd but not here, I wonder why? I really think its stupid that Arista advertises this as 'every single Whitney Houston video is included' when they arent. Despite that its a good collection to have, as long as you dont mind missing those other songs. And whats with the DVD having extra stuff, some of us cant afford DVD players. Unfair I say.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Arista have made a hash of it
Review: This review is made purely on the basis of the DVD content and bears no reflection on Whitney herself or her great singing voice or the quality of the music within the DVD.

However, it is clear that Arista have rushed out this DVD out with no real understanding of what tracks Whitney's fans rate as their greatest hits. The big question for me, is, where are the videos for Exhale (shoop shoop, Hurt so Bad and Count on Me? To do a diva such as Whitney and her fans true justice, it should have been a 2 disc set, which should have included ALL the videos to ALL her single releases and any unseen videos, which might not have been released in addition to extra footage on this DVD, now that would have kept me and many others happy! The only thing, I can say is that Arista have made a real hash of it, showing no real understanding of her worldwide fan base and also a lack of respect towards a superb diva, who is simply the best (as her record sales would indicate). The only saving grace was that there was none of those horrendous DJ mixes on the DVD, as there is on the Greatest Hits CD!

ARISTA YOU DROPPED THE BALL, WHITNEY DESRVED BETTER!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHITNEY IS STILL THE QUEEN
Review: This video brought back such memories. I give it 5 stars, and a firm 5 at that. The crowning point, is the live version of Didn't We Almost Have It All....now thats a singer!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Close But No Cigar!
Review: This video is ok. I am a really deep fan of Whitney. I have alot of her items, but where are all the other videos? Like, Run to You, I Have Nothing, Exhale, I Believe in You and Me, I'm Every Woman, Why Does It Hurt So Bad. And the other videos not on the greatest hits cd, like, My Name is not Susan, Miracle, Count on Me, the real One Moment in Time video, and maybe others. I know that these videos were made, because i seen them a while back. i think it's time to complain to ARISTA, because these videos should have been on this video. Especially for the price. And also why in the ... do they add the special bonuses to the DVD disc. Just because we buy the vhs versions doesn't mean we don't want to see the extras!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Videos by the Greatest Voice of a Generation.
Review: When I heard this DVD was going to be released I was estatic. Almost every video done by Whiney Houston is included, from the early videos such as "How Will I Know" and "The Greatest Love Of All" through the Bodyguard era hits like "I Will Always Love You" and "I'm Every Woman" to her recent smash hits such as "My Love Is Your Love" and "It's Not Right But It's Okay".

But to me what makes it so special are the extras, such as live performances at the Grammy Awards, in concert in South Africa, her performance of the Star Spangled Banner, and her first performance on the Merv Griffin show.

Also included are interviews with Whitney, Clive Davis, Missy Elliot, Wyclef Jean, Diane Warren, and others.

A must have for any Whitney fan or any other person from the MTV generation who has been touched by Whitney's music.
