This Cd is a must-buy, even if (like me) you have all of her cd's in spanish and some of her releases in italian. First of all there are two completely new songs, the excellent "Volveré Junto a Ti" and "Dime", a duet sang with a guy named José "El Francés", who sounds much alike spanish singer Alejandro Sanz. Then, you've get fresh new renditions of her hits "La Soledad", "Se Fue", "Amores Extraños" and "Gente". As well, there's a new version of "Cuando Se Ama" ("Sei que Me Amavas"), sung half-in portuguese with the great brazilian singer Gilberto Gil. Then, for people who live in countries where her italian albums haven't been widely available, here in Chile only her first two italian cd's have been available, there's "La Mia Risposta" (from her fourth italian release). And last but not least, you've got "One More Time", before only available on the soundtrack of the american movie "Message in a Bottle". All this plus the original versions of other hit songs ("Las Cosas que Vives", "Inolvidable", et al.) It's one of the most intelligently done "Greatest Hits Collection" that've been released lately, because it's not only a mere-repetition of all her previous work. Bravo Laura!

Well Laura has finally released a Greatest Hits. Sadly for me her early hits have some unneccesary arragments. Specially GENTE is ruin. SE FUE, AMORES and SOLEDAD, should remain original!, why do they change it, I'm really upset. But the rest of the tracks happily remain in their original version. It's utterly neccesary to mention to say Laura Pausini is one of the vocaly gifted woman of the earth. This is a worth to own album....*****FIVE STARS to Pausini talents, *ONE STAR to the new arragment to the original early cuts.

Quizás sea demasiado estricto en mi critica pero se que muchos van a estar de acuerdo conmigo, ya que si bien nadie duda de la excepcional voz de Laura Pausini ni de lo fenomenal de la interpretación de sus canciones, al escuchar este album me quedó la sensacion de que más que un compilado de éxitos esto parece una colección de remixes... y no hay nada peor que los remixes. Pareciera que Laura Pausini no tiene nada nuevo que ofrecernos y estoy seguro que no es así. Lejos la peor de todas las canciones que trae este album es "Se fue" que terminó matando los buenos recuerdos que tengo de esa canción, tampoco lo hace mal la nueva versión de "La Soledad" que estoy seguro muchos seguiremos prefiriendo la versión original por sobre esta bizarra mezcla. Pero como no todo puede ser tan malo, la nota alta se la lleva la version de "Cuando se ama" a duo con Gilberto Gil y la cancion "Dime" con una voz demasiada parecida a Alejandro Sanz lo que hace pensar que hubiese sido mucho mejor haber tenido a Sanz cantandola que al tipo que la canta ya que casi suena como imitador.
En resumen: Bien por las nuevas canciones... mal por los remixes.

I have heard many songs by Laura before, and have always loved her voice. She reminds me a lot of Rocio Jurado...the two of them have an opera-like voice, but sweeter and softer vocals. I had never owned a Laura CD, but "Volveré Junto a ti" along with "Entre tu y Mil Mares", "Escucha tu Corazón" and her voice is more than enough reasons to own this CD. Currently 3 people in my household have this CD!!! God bless you Laura and thank you for your beautiful and mesmerizing voice. Viva Laura.

When I bought this CD, I only knew four songs: "Amores Extraños", "Soledad", "Gente", and "Se Fue". However this CD enhanced those songs, and their styles were change. I think they did a great job doing that, the strings and the background combime perfectly with Laura's voice to give the listener a "brand new" song. The other songs in this disc showcase Laura's voice and uniqueness. However the only down side to this disc, is Gilberto Gil in "En Ausencia De Ti" his voice didn't exactly combine with Laura's and at certain times when he had to hold high notes you could hear him going out of tune. Besides this I think this CD has wonderful lyrics, sounds, songs, and is a must have for fans, or ballad lovers.
