I was thrilled when I knew that a Cher video collection was coming out but I have to be honest that I was a little bit dissapointed because this production could've been much better. Some video hits are missing like her 70's #1 hit "DARK LADY" which had a funny video but instead of that track you can find "HALF-BREED" which has a boring video that just shows Cher seating on a horse, then "ALL OR NOTHING" that was another hit doesn't appear and you can find "MAIN MAN" which wasn't a hit. I also think that it could have at least special features as lyrics, photo gallery or Cher commenting about the videos (that would've been great).
But well not everything is bad here because you can enjoy several great videos such as "IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME", "I FOUND SOMEONE", "WE ALL SLEEP ALONE", "BELIEVE", "SAVE UP ALL YOUR TEARS" and "LOVE CAN BUILD A BRIDGE" (featuring Chrissie Hynde, Neneh Cherry and Eric clapton).
I am a big fan of Cher's. Rather than buy this dvd, I saw most of the videos online, so I can describe what you'll see.
1. Believe- Cher parties at a futuristic club scene. This song was #1 worldwide and I think the video should be very high-ranked as well.
2. If I Could Turn Back Time- Cher performs for sailors on a navy battleship. MTV banned this video due to the outfit she wore in the video, and I, too, don't think it's good. The tour remix video is much more colorful.
3. Save Up All Your Tears- Cher lies in a bed of flowers, then performs surronded by flames. I would rank this 2 stars.
4. Walking In Memphis- A recap of the famous highlights of the life of Elvis Presley. Look again, however. Elvis is played by Cher. This video backed her up during the Believe tour, and it's awesome..
5. One By One (Junior's Radio Edit)- Clips of a couple not "getting along" with Cher in the background. I'm glad they chose the remix video rather than the original. I'm really not satisfied with the album version.
6. Main Man- Clips of Cher and Rob. Boring.
7. I Found Someone- More C&R Clips. More interesing than Main Main.
8. Strong Enough- A man creates a screensaver, in which Cher magically appears. Great song, great video!
9. Song For The Lonely (Almighty Radio Edit)- Cher backed up with a series of illusions. The original is more interesting, and has more scenes.
10. Half Breed- Cher is dressed as an Indian riding a donkey. Boring, as well.
11. The Shoop Shoop Song- Clips from "Mermaids" back up Cher and her co-stars dressed as Betty Everet. Cool!
12. Dov'e L'Amore- An Enrique vs. Camelot video. You actually hear a remix of the song rather than the album version. I'm glad they chose that.
13. Love Can Build A Bridge- Cher sings the Judds hit with Neneh Cherry, Chrissie Hynde, and Eric Clapton. The video is not that great.
I am a huge Cher-a-holic, but I have to share others' disappointment that so many of her videos were left on the shelf (the little-seen Hell on Wheels, one of the first-ever music videos, All or Nothing, Dark Lady, and the stunning duet with Eros, Pue Che Poi, among others). I can only imagine that Warners is looking to milk us all for more dollars by holding back and then releasing another video compilation when Cher gets off her tour sometime in 2008 and records another album. The inclusion of the dreadful slow version of One by One is at least counter-balanced by the fact that the original version of Song for the Lonely, not the awful Almight Mix, is included. (Whoever was in charge of labeling the tracks was asleep.) But in sum, a neverending stream of Rob Camilletti appearances (4 videos!) makes for tough going after a while. Better luck next time.
For the first time ever, Cher videos are going to be released on DVD ! The only reason i'm giving it 4 stars is beacuse it doesn't include all of her videos (Love & Understanding, Music's No Good Without You, All Or Nothing, Alive Again, etc.)
A Must For All of Her Fans !
I am so happy to see a video compilation of SOME of Cher's videos. It is a long time in coming. I work in the factory that makes the DVD so I have been "quality checking" it for a couple weeks now...it has been the soundtrack to my 12-hour days, quite frankly. I just wish that all the online shopping websites could get the track listing right! For the record, "Dark Lady" and the "Almighy mix of Believe", and the "dance version of One By One" are NOT included on it. But, "Half-Breed" is and the european album version of "One By One" is. Along with the europe-only charity single video for "Love Can Build A Bridge", a song Cher sang with Neneh Cherry and Chrissie Hynde. So, if this had been a "Complete" video collection, I would have given it 10 stars if I could! But, as it stands, it is extremely enjoyable, if not perfect, and a MUST for any Cher
fan. P.S. Cher looks so great in the "Walking In Memphis" video!!
