Description of Shania Twain - The Platinum Collection:
Nothing encourages one to ignore those silly contradictions in Shania Twain's music (is she country? is she pop?) like a collection of her highly playful videos. The Platinum Collection rolls right over boundaries of tradition and genre with its concentration of imaginative, often surprising visuals. "The Woman in Me," for instance, is set among Egypt's pyramids, while "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" finds a stunning Twain fronting a band of mindless hunks in a funny reversal of Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" video. "You're Still the One," easily one of Twain's most affecting songs, still holds up as a softly erotic short film. Even Twain's more prosaic videos (the go-kart mania of "You Win My Love") bear repeat viewing, but it's her heck-with-it aesthetic that leads to such unexpected sights as Irish step dancing in "Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You)." Then, of course, there are those hot pants in "Rock This Country!" Long may Shania wave. --Tom Keogh
Shania Twain - The Platinum Collection Reviews:
shania twain fan 
2008-10-24 - DVD is great but one thing is bad the sound is 2.0 that bad news .And That i figured out later .i like when that product was in 5.1 sound then it goes directly in my hard but the sound is 2.0 sad news but image quality is great .And great songs to.
Interesting view at Shania's development as a singer 
2007-08-01 - I can't say that I am a big fan of her early work, though there are some good songs in there. However for a true Shania fan this is a must have because you can clearly see not only costume changes but even how she sings a song. It is like watching a kid grow up but in roughly an hour+. If you are only interested in her later work, the concert at Chicago would be a better dvd for you. I have both and like them for different reasons. Overall a good piece of work, with my only regret being that eventually there will have to be a "Platinum 2", and likely there will be duplications on the second one. Minor, but still it would be nice if music and movies did not re-hash themselves just to make even more money.

2006-11-09 - Great Collection! This really showcases Shania's different styles of video. A fun DVD. "From This Moment" is my husband's and my favorite!
Barbi Doll 
2006-04-02 - I don't really like video collections. Live music is so much more interesting. The only exception I can think of to that rule is the video collection by Tom Petty, because he put out the most imaginative and well produced videos.
I'd much rather see Shania actually singing and relating to an audience than lipping it to these recorded songs. The only songs on this vid that are live are the last two, and one of them is the boring Rock This Country, one of her weakest songs, a sort of takeoff on Donnie and Marie's I'm A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock and Roll.
It's mostly all glitz and glitter. It's mostly just seeing the latest outfit and makeup Shania is wearing. That is superficial. Let's have a real person instead. I don't care about the outfits and the makeup. Seeing her pretend to sing just doesn't cut it. I've heard these exact versions of the songs plenty of times. Come On Over is a fantastic album.
She looks great, particularly in her Hawaiian look during the romantic You've Got A Way. I love that song and I love her Hawaiian look. It's all so romantic. I'm not wild about her look when she's wearing slacks or sweat pants. It makes the bottom half of her look so ordinary and boring. She looks so much better in something feminine. Sporty Spice is not a turn on and is not romantic.
If you want to turn it up a notch in your music videos, pick up somebody's live performance. It's a whole different feeling. Granted, some of them aren't the greatest, but when they are good, they are a lot better than this. You actually see a real person on stage. Not just Barbi Doll in her newest outfit and makeup.
