The Platinum Collection - Shania Twain

This is a wonderful collection from one of the most beloved artists and icons of the late 90's. A great DVD to add to the collector shelf if you are a Shania Twain fan.

This DVD is a compilation of music videos by the country – pop superstar and features 21 videos from Canada's sexy songbird and includes Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?, You're Still the One, From This Moment On, That Don't Impress Me Much, Man! I Feel Like a Woman!, Come on Over, Rock This Country! among many others.

While many wonder whether Twain’s music is country or pop, this is no time to ask that as we can sit back and enjoy these music videos.

Digging deeper into a few tracks, The Woman in Me (Needs the Man in You) for instance, is set among Egypt's pyramids (produced by Markus Blunder), 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. The wedding favorite You're Still the One, easily one of Twain's most affectionate songs, still holds up as a softly erotic short film, even though it is a nice black & white video with some cool imagery. Even Twain's more prosaic videos (the go-kart mania of You Win My Love, bear repeat viewing, but it's her Don't Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) that has some great rhythmic footwork by an Irish troupe called Leahy that features some amazing step dancing. Then, of course, there are those hot pants in Rock This Country! that ends this 80 minute set of one of country music’s top living legends.  

With the set list on the back of the inlay cover, The Platinum Collection contains all of Shania Twain's music videos from her first three albums, “Shania Twain’, “The Woman In Me”, “Come On Over”.

As for the music videos, all 21 videos are fairly well produced. In almost all cases, the focal point is Shania herself, sometimes acting within a little vignette. The filming and editing are pretty straightforward, as opposed to the more cutting edge production of contemporary pop/rock/rap videos.

Sadly there is nothing in the way of additional video features (e.g., interviews, commentary), interactive menus, or liner notes. All things considered, each video is quite enjoyable
