For all of the Beyonce fans, this is a must have. The CD and DVD combination is exceptional. You won't be disappointed.
I simply love to watch Beyonce in action. Anytime, and anywhere. The music CD that comes with the DVD of her latest songs are absolutely GREAT! Sound quality is the best (as usual) from Bee. Worth double my money on this product.
I thought this cd was corny as hell and I'm a Techno/House fan. My sister is a bigger fan of Beyonce than me and when she told me the cd was crap I just didn't believe her. She gave me the cd and I listened to track 1, I really gave it a chance too, but then I found myself skipping through all of them. Why did she put this crap out?! And how come her fans have to win the lottery or save three paychecks just to see her in concert? I'll be a Beyonce fan forever, but "B" come on now, for real?
I bought "I am...Sasha Fierce" for my twenty-something niece and listened to it a couple of times and was not impressed. The songs, though some were well-written, just missed something, especially those that were dependent on the imagery from the videos that accompanied them.
However, "Above and Beyonce'" corrects that, offering "re-workings" that are major improvements on the originals, with the exception of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on it"). That is the sole original that is better the way it was first presented. Turning it into a "dance mix" is unnecessary, and downright "sacrilegious."
Also, "Ego," featuring a horrendous rap from Kanye West, is filled with too many inuendos, unsuitable for the younger segment of Beyonce's audience.
The DVD collection is a welcome bonus, especially for an artist who, herself, is a visual treat.
Excellent as alwaysm both DVD and CD. ell worth the price.Above and Beyoncé: Video Collection & Dance Mixes (DVD/CD)
