Customer Reviews of 20th Century Masters Dvd Collection

Surprised her videos made it on DVD.
I bought this DVD only because this was all I could get from Vanessa Williams - her videos that is. I never suspected that any of these videos, especially 'The Right Stuff', would ever see the light of day in DVD format. However, I am glad these videos were released even if it represents a slight portion of all her music videos. I would like to see a full release of her music videos with the following that were cut from this DVD: "He's Got the Look", "Darlin, I", "The Comfort Zone", "Work to Do", "What Will I Tell My Heart", "Just for Tonight", "Love Is", "The Way That You Love", "What Child Is This", "Colors of the Wind", "Where Do We Go From Here", "Happiness", and "Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly".

If you can cope with just the few videos on this DVD, as any fan of Vanessa Williams should, I suggest you purchase this DVD. There's some great stuff here that you should not miss.

Good Compilation But Incomplete
Some really nice videos here, but very incomplete. Noticebly missing are videos for "The Comfort Zone", "He's Got The Look", "Darlin I", "Happiness" and "What Do I Tell My Heart". Don't pay a lot of money for this. It's worth a few dollars. But, it is nice to have these classic videos like "The Right Stuff" , "Running Back To You" and "Dreamin" on DVD.

Will a more deluxe line follow this videoclip budget series?
This is one of a series of no-frills five-clip video collections issued as 20th Century Masters DVDs by Universal. Accordingly, you get what you paid for, nothing more (e.g., there is a menu on the DVD but no surround sound). On this DVD what you get are five complete clips of Vanessa Williams' most popular hits from 1988 - 1994. Tracks include "The Right Stuff," "Dreamin'," "Save The Best For Last," "Running Back To You," and "The Sweetest Days." Collectors will be disappointed and left hoping that a "Complete Videos" collection is in the works. However, this is a good bargain if you want a concise, highlights-only overview of her career, available for about the cost of a CD-single.

Vanessa's career has combined music, dancing, and acting with mostly successful results ala Jennifer Lopez a generation later. The clips here fall into basically two categories: 1) dance tracks allowing Vanessa to show off her training as a dancer that would later be showcased in the film DANCE WITH ME ("The Right Stuff" seems a bit derivative of Janet Jackson's early videos, while "Running..." is more original); and 2) ballads, with the artist singing and looking sharp in predictable albeit attractive settings. The video content perhaps doesn't jump out at the viewer as Lopez' clips often do. However, Vanessa scores points by projecting a relatively mature image that is nonetheless stylish and contemporary, thankfully not dumbing-down her talents to fit in with the more notorious aspects of popular culture (and an ironic twist for a career that began with the Miss America scandal).
