For an artist who only released four proper albums in a 15-year career, it's astounding to recall how many hits Whitney Houston was able to achieve. The two CDs on The Greatest Hits track Houston's rise from mid-'80s Top 40 balladeer to standard-setting diva. Disc 1, Cool Down, runs chronologically through Houston's down-tempo love songs, from "The Greatest Love of All" and "I Will Always Love You" to the cleverly conceived new duet with Deborah Cox, "Same Script, Different Cast." She's also showcased as the remixee of choice for DJs on the second disc, Throw Down, which serves as the antidote to the lovesick first disc. Calling in marquee mixmasters, Houston's old-shoe tunes get a new millennium polish. "My Love Is Your Love," reinterpreted by Jonathan Peters, captures the versatility of Houston's songs by making the downbeats danceable without going totally Euro-cheese. In contrast, Junior Vasquez's remix of 1985's "How Will I Know" pokes fun at the song's '80s fluffiness by layering in bells, lasers effects, and echoes on top of Whitney's enthusiastic vocals. --Heidi Sherman

4 out of 5 stars Whitney's Greatest Hits.......2007-06-02

You should buy this Greatest Hits set only if you don't mind Whitney's up-tempo tracks being disguised in new forms of remixes. I'm definitely not a fan of remixed versions so I never pop disc 2 into my stereo. Disc 1 on the other hand is a bulky collection of top 40 hits that actually saves this release. It's a shame Whitney doesn't put out songs like these anymore; I have a feeling this will be the only Greatest Hits that she'll release during her career. With her current state I'm not sure there will be need for another one. Maybe I'm wrong. Nonetheless, no one can deny the pure charm of classics such as "Saving All My Love For You", "I Will Always Love You", "I Hav Nothing" and my personal favorite, "The Greatest Love Of All". Whitney's voice soars through every note so effortlessly that you wish for more. I'm hearing she has a new album coming out sometime this year so let's hope for a sleeper hit, she will sure need one. Good luck Whitney.

3 out of 5 stars Its' ok.......2007-05-12

It's an OK set of songs. there are songs that are sang by someone else too, didnt like that. A lot of remixes, which i did not like.

5 out of 5 stars One of The Three Best.......2007-03-05

This Collection of Whitney's talent is well worth an addition to any music collection. There have only been three female vocalist in my lifetime (and I am 57) who have rated top in my opinion. Patsy Cline, Whitney Houston, and Celine Dion. Each of their own style, each with an amazing talent. I purchased this collection from Best Buy at a cheaper price than Amazon (sad) but I am extremely pleased with past purchases.

1 out of 5 stars Whitney's Greatest Hits?? I don't think so!!!.......2007-02-03

Whitney Houston's Greatest Hits came out in 2000 (originally supposed to have been released in 1996). I bought it hoping it would have the songs of hers that I love. Some of these songs of hers are the originals that are found on Disc 1 and her previous albums, such as: You Give Good Love, Saving All My Love For You, Where Do Broken Hearts Go, and I Will Always Love You. I was really disappointed to find that some of her other songs that I love have been wrongfully remixed to where they are almost unrecognizable. These ones are: I'm Your Baby Tonight, How Will I Know, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, My Love is Your Love, and I think a couple of others (??). In my opinion, it was a crucial mistake for the manufacturers to give these latter songs the remix job. I thought those were the originals, but boy was I wrong!!! The original versions of those latter songs from Disc 2 should have been put on there as is, but not with a totally different sound to them. I was horribly disappointed about that. I have never listened to it since then, as I have made my own GH collection of Whitney's. I don't know what people have been thinking, but I don't think that this is a great album of hers (nothing personal to Whitney, don't get me wrong). This Greatest Hits title would have been an even better one if the originals of the songs from Disc 2 that I mentioned had not have been butchered up. If you want the originals of those several songs, buy the individual albums that they were on before; forget about this title!! The only thing I give credit to regarding this album is the front cover image of Whitney with a drill. WOW!! My grade for the picture: A. But my 1 star rating for this album and D- grade for it stand as is.
My grade for this album: D-

A greatest-hits package sampling four Enigma discs released between 1990 and 2000, LSD splendidly documents the influential output of Michael Cretu, a techno-bohemian who successfully creates cinematic, otherworldly New Age-like musical suites. Now, more than a decade removed from the arrival of Sadeness (Part 1) and its eyebrow-raising mix of sacred and sensual subplots, people can debate whether Cretu's music represents savvy commercial calculation or satisfying art. LSD suggests a split decision, though tracks with intriguing blends of atmosphere and rhythm, such as "Gravity of Love," "T.N.T. for the Brain" and "Morphing Thru Time," reveal an inventiveness that demonstrates Cretu is capable of more than sophisticated novelty tunes. Two new songs, neither especially noteworthy, open this package. Meanwhile, remastered older tracks segue beautifully to exude a satisfying, seamless unity. Big bonus: run time exceeds 76 minutes. --Terry Wood

5 out of 5 stars My first exposure to Enigma will not be my last.......2007-07-02

I ignored the numerous suggestions to buy Enigma til I found LSD in a used record store. The price was good and I figured I had nothing to lose. Wow--did I get a good deal! The CD is amazing, the music's varied and I get a good taste of what I should have bought long ago. I really can't add more to the excellent reviews already in place, but if you love world and fusion type music, you need to give this CD a try--and yes, it's worth full price.

5 out of 5 stars Gravity of Love.......2007-07-01

Ruth Ann is the lead vocal for Gravity of Love. It's a gorgeous song! This whole album is worth adding to your music collection. It is a must have. Check out Michael Cretu's (Enigma) latest production, What About Us, Ruth Ann's first solo album. It is exclusively sold on itunes. You don't need an ipod to get itunes. Change the setting to MP3! Get Ruth Ann!

5 out of 5 stars I love every bit of it!.......2007-06-09

Just an awesome album that I will recommend, any day any time!

5 out of 5 stars One of the most devoted artists in the field.......2007-05-17

I wrote this three and a half years ago as a 15 year old on a different amazon profile that i am deleting. here is my two cents. I didn't realize then since I was a very naive boy, but the acronym for the title of this album is (and not accidently) LSD. Yes, this album is sonic Lysergic Acid. Or THC, you pick.

Spirituality enhancing music has never been as entrancing and alluring in the history of music. Never have I been so at one and felt so at home with music as I have been with this lush comilation of Enigma's Phase One (first four albums) greatest hits. Almost all of Michael Cretu's music should be on this cd because his music is so inspiring...it takes you on a mind altering journey through sound from which you may wish never to return, simply because of its fresh, pure musical taste.
Many of the tracks that made it on this cd are there because they were on the top of the charts. Not all of them are necesarily his absolute best...I wish songs like "Between Mind and Heart" and "Callas Went Away" were here, but the exclusion of those songs doesn't deteriorate the value. Even if Curly M.C. wanted to put more tracks on his Greatest Hits, he would have had to opt for a second disc because....theres already 74 minutes of pure heaven on the single disc. Anyway, explaining M.C.'s unique vision of music is next to impossible to explain; the songs are a mix of rhythmic beats, breathy vocals, synthed orchestration, and mystical lyrics, which are refrences to the Bible in some parts. Sampling the music is the only way to discover the beauty. Languages include Latin, French, and English. The quality of the synthesized sounds sound like they could have been made yesterday, which is an example of the talent and effort put into every Enigma cd.

Now I may sound like a paid advertiser for Enigma, but I am in reality a very down to earth guy. So I tell it like it is. This review is no exeption. The samples so kindly provided by Amazon above are not the best...M.C. likes to launch each of his cds with slow orchestrations, and then he picks up the pace with the third track. Really, only allowing thirty seconds of sampling doesn't quite do the cd justice. To become absorbed into a piece, you have to listen to the whole thing.

please, dont illegally download music if you do....it hurts the artist from which you are stealing.

4 out of 5 stars Good ol' 90's.......2007-05-17

Great album with unique sound and sexy French voice. Clear sound with slightly heavy bass. Slightly tribal touch, but overall great music. Buy it if you like the previews on Amazon, you will not be disappointed. Relax and enjoy.

5 out of 5 stars Freaking amazing.......2007-04-28

(I'm actually 16, but I'm to lazy to login.)

ANYWAY! This album is amazing. I got this for my 13th birthday when I was in 7th grade, and it was one of the best albums I could have gotten. This album is a good size and has a whole darned lot of songs on it, (all of which, may I add, are great.) I reccomend (sp? lol) this to anybody who has heard Blondie's music before and knows just how great it truly is. Within 3 years of getting this album I now own all of their CDs plus 3 vinyls. It's truly amazing. Blondie are one of the greatest bands in history for sure.

5 out of 5 stars classic.......2007-04-27

This album is by far the greatest. It includes all of the hits from one of the greatest bands. Almost 20 years of great music compacted into one disc. It might be a shame that it is one disc, but the music is as clear as the day the band started.
Blondie stayed true to it's roots, even though time changed.
Rock on to the future.

5 out of 5 stars Mood Altering Music.......2007-04-20

Great collection of Blondie songs.

She's got amazing versatility in her voice.

Her charged spirit is so infectious...she just has no limit to her abilities to vocalize you straight onto the dance floor.

A Great party CD.

5 out of 5 stars A glamourous rock record.......2007-03-09

After listening to the record three times, I found it quite glamourous and chic. The voice of Debbie Harry is quite unique, symbol of an era.

5 out of 5 stars This is so great!.......2005-03-27

This music speaks to my inner being, my father was a Marine with the ETC, and it was not an easy time. Music like this helped him think about how the best things in life are two doors down on the left, just a shade away from peace. I love this music, track 13 speaks to me so much that I am not sure if I have the time to listen as much as I want to! Such great music!

5 out of 5 stars A Great Sousa Collection.......2004-12-15

These recordings seem to date from the 1960s and reflect a style of play that is impossible to find today. Some people might consider the sound to be too bright, the entrances too aggressive. But I think this is more authentic for Sousa than what one generally hears today. Sousa himself is known to have preferred "enthusiastic" entrances from his players, to have favored an "orchestral" sonority for his band and to have played his marches in strict tempo with no ritards or tempo changes. That is what you have on this disc, which features the Marine Band under Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, who also conducts on Volume 3 of Altissimo's Sousa Original series.

Tom Jones all but invented saucy power pop back before the sixties even started to swing when his second single "It's Not Unusual" rocketed up the UK charts in 1965. After that initial triumph the singer never looked back, tying his hair back with a thin black ribbon and putting some rather expressive body English into his stage moves, which assured that the stage floor would be routinely pelted with various undergarments pitched by enthusiastic fans. Almost four decades later both Jones and his audience are no less fervent as Wales' second-most famous export runs through his extensive and varied songbook, still imbuing his old chestnuts like "What's New Pussycat?" and "Delilah" with a sense of naughty fun and irony. But Jones is at his best while giving the latest generation of rockers a run for their money, as he pairs up with the likes of Wyclef Jean, the Sterophonics, Art of Noise, the Cardigans, and Mousse T; as he overhauls staid tired standards like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" or "Baby It's Cold Outside" with his arch humor and gutsy delivery. Prince's "Kiss" crackles with an inner light that even the great Minneapolis savant didn't intend, while his duet with Portishead is as cold and disturbing as a grave. A must have album. --Jaan Uhelszki

SOrry but the album Reload was launched in Europe some 7 or 8 years ago, with spectacular duets including Robbie Williams, Van Morrison and others. I bought it in Spain and since then, is one of my favorites in my car. I still admire his powerful voice and his intensity when performing.

I went to see Tom Jones for the second time in Las Vegas a few years ago. He had some new material so I decided to check it out. His new CD was a greatest hits but had mixed in all of his new stuff. And I must say, his new stuff ROCKS. The new songs: Black Betty, Mama Told Me (Not to Come), Sex Bomb, Tom Jones International, and If I Only Knew were all excellent. Toms rendition of some of these old classics just go to show you what a performer he is as he makes them his own. And the new origional songs are just as good. And of course with it being a Tom Jones greatest hits you have all his great standards. I have also heard several of the new songs used in some big screen Hollywood movies recently like Domino and a few others. Black Betty and Mama Told Me Not to Come are the highlights of this new CD and Toms pipes are in exceptional... as always.

5 out of 5 stars Erasure.......2007-03-22

This group has a positive sound. I agree with a previous reviewer that these songs do bring your mood into a positive state. Excellent songs.
I always affiliated good times with this group. I don't know why, but its probably how Erasure presents its music.

3 out of 5 stars 3.5 stars: Good but missing a few songs.......2007-03-04

Erasure is one of my all time favorite pop groups from the 1980s. Their music always cheers me up whenever I am feeling down. The group's first compilation Pop! was the cd that really introduced me to the group. Unfortunately the production is pretty shoddy. Four years ago Mute released another Erasure compilation with better production value. Unfortunately Mute Records left off a considerable amount of Erasure material for a best of compilation. There is no songs off Erasure's self-titled album or "Cowboy", two of my personal favorite Erasure albums. It seems that this compilation as nothing more than to make money off the group. If they relaly cared about the fans, the label would have covered all of the group's past recordings and include some bonus tracks or a dvd. Still I am glad to hear "A Little Respect" and "Oh L'Amour" with better production quality because the orginal versions sounds like crud. If you want to hear your favorite Erasure songs with better production quality, I recommend buying this cd. If you are a serious diehard Erasure fan, don't buy it. It's obvious cash cow for Mute Records.

4 out of 5 stars Good Hits collection..........2006-06-23

But I have "POP!-20 Hits" already and think that was a better representation of why Erasure was so great. Btw, with this new collection having 3 covers of ABBA songs, why doesn't it have their great cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass"?

So anyway, should you buy this or POP!? I have the solution: backtrack and buy all their cd's in order and experience Erasure to its fullest. Most of their cd's have too many wonderful undiscovered/unheard gems in them.

3 out of 5 stars already did this.......2005-10-31

These songs were already on pop. I still love it for my erasure collection. Its just redundent.

5 out of 5 stars This cd is Great..........2005-09-27

It is filled with lots of up beat songs. I can't stop listening to it. I even work out to it.

These days she's fodder for tabloid writers and late-night comics, but way back in the '90s Mariah Carey ruled the charts. This two-disc collection offers up evidence why, for better or worse, Mariah's five-octave, pop/R&B stylings set the diva standard. Greatest Hits culls its offerings from Carey's five albums on Sony (she is now signed to Virgin), and you get all the facets of her platinum-plus sound. From the soulful smolder of her 1990 debut "Vision of Love" (still one of her best tracks) to the coyer-than-thou duet with Jay Z ("Heartbreaker"), Carey thrills, trills, and hits notes that only canines comprehend. Fans will gobble this collection up, but inclusion of some of Carey's more adventuresome remixes (e.g. the Puffy-produced "Fantasy," featuring ODB) might have made this package more noteworthy. --Amy Linden

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars If you only buy one album in your life..........2007-05-18

...this is the one. Miriah has defined and redefined pop music throughout her illustrious career, and this album brings the entire journey together in one dynamic, brilliant package. This duo CD set showcases all of Miriah's favorites, in addition to most of her #1 hits. One of my favorite aspects of this album is that some of the songs are not even technically "hits"; rather, they are Miriah's personal favorites (i.e. "Butterfly"). This amazing performer's five-octave range, coupled with her impeccable sense of pitch, dynamics, and musicality, along with her unmatched emotional drive, put her, in my opinion, in the position of Greatest Vocalist of All Time. If you like her even a little, buy the album. You will love it. If you don't like her, buy the album. Listening to it only once or twice will cause you to fall in love with the undeniable force that is Miriah Carey's voice.

5 out of 5 stars Magnificent!.......2007-01-09

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Great Best Of.......2007-03-13

I'm not a huge fan of Fatboy Slim but this CD is great. Most of the songs you can hear all the time and there were a few I have not heard of at all. While most of these pay on commericals or in movies (mainstream) its good background music for parties.

5 out of 5 stars Who IS Fatboy Slim?.......2007-01-12

Well, I had NO IDEA who he was. Until I listened to this CD and recognized almost EVERY SINGLE ONE of the songs on it! These songs have been in TV commercials, movies, etc. We bought one for my brother in law for Christmas. EXCELLENT CD!!!! If you want to get a Fatboy Slim CD, this is the one to get.

5 out of 5 stars Spectacular.......2006-11-29

This is what happens when you compile the best songs of one of the best DJs ever. If you're a big fan, there's not much new here, and those who collect many CDs probably have most if not all of these tracks already. But if you're a big fan, as I am, having the collection "under one roof" is worth the additional cost.

5 out of 5 stars Addictive.......2006-09-29

I've been a casual fan of Fatboy Slim for years, but have never delved into their entire body of work. However, since I picked up this CD, I've become addicted. Why Try Harder is a great into to Fatboy Slim. Give it a try, and I'm sure you'll love it too. BTW - the new track "That Old Pair of Jeans" is the best FBS track yet.

5 out of 5 stars Why look harder?.......2006-09-14

If you want to hear, enjoy, and show off to others the genius that is Fatboy Slim, here you go.

As Matthew Blissmer said in his review, this is a GREAT CD to put on for friends that don't want to hear the (often excessively) long versions of each of the songs. I always ran into that problem... I loved the songs but they had awkward lead-in and lead-outs. In "Why Try Harder?", ALL the songs are beautifully edited, starting and stopping at exactly perfect times for the full effect of the song. No minute-long lead-out for "Going Out of My Head", and "Brimful of Asha" (one of my favorites) is cut perfectly down to size from the 7:30 full cut.

I can put this in a CD player and hit Shuffle and not be nervous about hitting an embarrassing song. They're all great.

If you're new to Fatboy Slim, or you've been following him for years, it doesn't matter, this is your CD. Clean up all those illegally-downloaded albums and mixes you were too hesitant to purchase, because this has it all in one neatly packaged, easily-purchasable CD! Time to pay your respects to the totally awesome Norman Cook in this totally awesome collection. Why look harder?

So there's this pop singer... you may have heard of her? Madonna, she's called, and the word is that she's basically all image; she went through a put-your-hands-all-over-my-body phase, then she got spiritual, and then she started wearing cowboy hats. Between all the gossip columns and photo shoots, though, she's left an unmatched trail of devastatingly wonderful singles--roaring dance records, tender ballads, and a curious combination of the two that is her personal specialty ("Secret" and "Ray of Light"). How many artists' best-of-the-second-decade collections crowd out legitimate hits? ("American Pie," anyone? "This Used to Be My Playground"?) Unlike 1990's Immaculate Collection, GHV2 doesn't have any new material; "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina," from Evita, and the glorious '60s pastiche "Beautiful Stranger" are the only songs that haven't appeared on a Madonna album before. But it compresses her past 10 years worth of records into an hour of one peak after another. --Douglas Wolk

4 out of 5 stars Not so great for Madonna's fans.......2007-02-28

First of all, I love this CD. It is a great collection for Madonna's 1990-2000's career.
However, I was a bit disappointed since it adds nothing special. That is there are no new songs, or special mix.

If you are looking for Madonna's hit songs in one CD, this is a great
album. However, if you are huge fan of Madonna and already having all the CDs of her, there is really nothing special about this CD.

Moreover, many great songs are not included.

4 out of 5 stars Madonna GHV2.......2007-02-16

This cd is really very good.
The only down sides are that some of her songs from this period are missing, some edited, and no new songs were added.
Otherwise, it is fantastic,a great buy, and a must have for any Madonna fan.

Impressive.

5 out of 5 stars I'm feelin these.......2006-11-18

I won't say to everybody this greatest hits is highly recommended. Being that I never heard all of her albums, so a true fan may feel like some songs is missin'. However for me, who is just really startin to seriously get into pop is somewhat satisfied with these and this is a 5 star collection to me. Some of the tracks I love, a couple I don't like at all and the rest I just like.
My favorite ones are in order;
Erotica
Ray of Light
Beautiful Stranger
The power of goodbye
Deeper and Deeper
The prodution is excellent and I love the vocals. If your new to Madonna, my opinion would be to start here. But a true fan can give me lessons.

In addition to the three-disc Hits/The B-Sides set, Prince's 1993 release list included separate editions of the two Hits volumes. By beginning with "When Doves Cry," Volume One would seem to promise a fairly mainstream overview of the man's career. But what can such a small word mean to an artist who writes love songs like this disc's "Adore" ("You can rip up my clothes, smash up my ride ... well, maybe not the ride") and who can put a cryptic religious fable (we think) like "7" in the Top 10? --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars incredible compilation of hits.......2007-01-08

I've had this CD and Hits 2 for years. Since I grew up on prince's music as a kid, I felt that my CD collection was incomplete without this. All of his popular singles from the late 70's through the early 90's are on hits 1 & 2(I wish there was a seperate disc for the prince b-sides) and it's fun blasting them through the house while cleaning up or in the car. His grooves are just delicious and he does whatever he wants with that voice. In addition he's a strong songwriter and plays all the instruments, now what you tell ya mama bout that!!!

5 out of 5 stars An Excellent Prince Compilation.......2006-09-09

Prince is one of the msot talented and influential artists in music history, and this 1993 best-of collection is ample proof of that. Featuring 18 of his best known songs as well as a few lesser known hits, this collection (along with its sequel "Hits 2") is ideal for the novice Prince fan.

Many of Prince's most familliar hits are here, including "When Doves Cry", "Let's Go Crazy", "1999", "Sign 'O' The Times", and "7", as well as lesser known tracks such as "When You Were Mine", "Adore" and "Pink Cashmere".

My only complaint is that the sound quality is a bit flat. Other than that, this is a great Prince collection (though you have to get "Hits 2" (review coming soon) as well).

5 out of 5 stars Prince.......2006-08-27


The first CD of this two-CD set spans 20 years, and if you've never heard the man, it's a great way to discover his music. If it were up to me, I'd add a bit more from CONTROVERSY, but never mind. This is an excellent CD. The second CD is all new stuff, which quite naturally invites us to compare what he did then to what he's doing now. The new compares with the old quite nicely. He's mastered some new skills, which comes as no surprise at all.

Let me deal with the silly, since I've been listening to Prince since 1981. Why is his name Prince? Because that's the name his mother gave him. Prince Rogers Nelson, right there on his birth certificate. His race? Well, how stupid is this question? He addresses it on the CONTROVERSY album. But, he's not quite as specific as I'm gonna get. White father, mulatto mother. Both musicians, naturally. CONTROVERSY also alludes to questions of Prince's sexual preference, but that really is irrelevant.

As I've mentioned elsewhere in this rag, I just so happen to be an atheist. (If you look up that word in your dictionary, you will see "a fool who admits that ain't selling NO books.") Prince recently became a Jehovah's Witness. And yet, I love him and his music. Always have, probably always will.

If you've listened to Prince, you know he loves sex and he loves God, and that he probably knows a bit more about sex than he does about God. He might be too nasty to play on the radio or with children in the room, but he's spent pretty much all his life seeking the truth about life. To quote the title of one of his new songs, Every Day Is A Winding Road.

My man is raunchy, horny, witty, creative, brilliant, clever, and can play a guitar with the best of them. Or any instrument, for that matter. He taught himself piano at age 10. Many of his early albums feature him playing every single instrument. The band was just for concerts and background vocals. Prince's voice is better than it's ever been.

Kierkegaard's epitaph reads "That individual." I'd put Prince in that category. And my lovely cat Picasso. It's a place I'm aiming for but haven't reached yet.

Prince poured his heart and soul into his music for more than half his life. Then the bad contract stuff happened and he changed his name and went away for a while. But he kept writing. And now, he can sing what he wants again. He can make jokes with the Aussie reporter about yelling "Freebird" at the concert. He can reinvent himself, same as every author should be allowed to do whenever he/she wants. I certainly have.

I can listen to these CDs again, and again, and again. And love them every time. As long as he keeps doing what he's always done, I'll always be a fan. We're both evolving, yes, but his music never ceases to be musical. He just gets better, and I will keep listening.

3 out of 5 stars Eh... .......2006-08-15

(2.5/5 stars) Prince has made some respectable music over the years, but you wouldn't really know it listening to this CD. There are a few very good songs, such as "When Doves Cry," "Let's Go Crazy" and "Nothing Compares 2 U," though most of the songs are simply adequate. I enjoy the lyrics of "Pop Life," but the song itself is fairly weak. Chaka Khan had some success with "I Feel For You," but again the song is just passable. Maybe it is the incessant synthesizers or perhaps it is the only sporadic emotion, but these pop songs just seem so lifeless and uninspired. Unless you are a very big fan or Prince, save your money. (Although there are a couple songs I skip when playing, "The Hits 2" is more enjoyable. "Peach" and "Sexy M.F." are worth the price of that one)

5 out of 5 stars better than hits 2 and stop hating on the man.......2006-07-07

Don't listen to those folks that hate this talented man. Yes, he used to shock us by wearing women clothing and so on, but that doesn't mean he is terrible in general. Look at xtina aguilera. She had an image that would make parents blush, but no one could deny her beautiful voice. so stop hating on what's on the outside and start taking notice on the real thing. Ok, back to the review.
As a fan, I'm probably one of those ppl that got tired of When Doves Cry after a gazillion times of listens. If you think about it, it does get annoying after a while. but thankfully he has alot of songs that are better. so y'all know the songs on here already. all these songs are great, but one song that gets to me is Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad. Horrible,IMO. But other than that, this cd is better than the hits 2.
