Julieta Venegas: Mtv Unplugged Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jullieta Venegas sounds delightful in this remarkable MTV Unplugged album.
I was truly pleasantly surprised and would highly reccommend it even if it
is your first time buying Latin Pop. She has a beautiful distinctive voice and
musicians with a lot of heart and soul to accompany her.
A must have for your collection.

On March 6th, Julieta Venegas recorded her MTV Unplugged at the Churubusco Studies in Mexico City, where she presented new songs besides interpreting some of her greatest hits in an intimate atmosphere to a live audience. This production counts on important and interesting collaborations like two time Oscar winner, Gustavo Santaolalla, who accompanied her with the banjo and sang the chorus of the song "Algun Dia (Someday)". Brazilian singer, Marisa Monte featured in song "Illusion", a new and beautiful song that combines the Spanish and Portuguese language. Also Mala Rodriguez joined Julieta and included a strong hip hop movement to the song "Eres Para Mi (You are for Me)", whereas the vocalist of Porter, Juan Carlos had a unique participation in "Algun Dia (Someday)". In addition, the very talented Natalia Lafourcade comprised of the orchestra and played several instruments during the night, whereas the talented musician and composer, Jacques Morelenbaum accompanied Julieta on the cello in "De mis Pasos (From my foot steps)".

MTV Unplugged (CD & DVD) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Katy Perry's Unplugged album came slightly out of left-field. Hardly anybody would expect a radio friendly pop star such as Perry to go ahead and release and album of her hits acoustically, in the classic Mtv Unplugged format. However, that is what she has done, and the results showcase the young singer/songwriter as a girl whose raw talent and ear for music has sadly been overshadowed by her over-the-top personality and outfits.
Her voice and stage presence are impressive, and her cover of Fountains of Wayne's "Hackensack" and her jazzed-up version of "I Kissed a Girl" are the stand-outs on the album. Particularly the latter, which turns the bragging party anthem into something of a darker, worrisome take on Katy's uncertainties with her sexuality. Whether this was deliberate or not is purely in the mind of the listener, and Perry obviously is content with just sitting back and letting her fans sort out the pieces.
Regardless, this album stands as a testament to a young artist's talent and well-deserved place in the American pop music lexicon. Give it a listen. Highly Recommended!

Ricky Martin - Europa (European Tour) (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I belong to the Ricky Martin fan club, and to be honest, I really hated the Europa DVD. I thought since it was done by family and friends, it would have lot of behind-the-scenes conversations, like "this is what Ricky's like offstage" kind of things. Instead, it was like watching the home videos my dad made of me in high school when I performed in the jazz band...shaky footage, bad camera angles, and whoever did the editing had WAY too much time to play with special effects. Zoom in on Ricky's nosehairs, zoom out to a shot from the nosebleed seats, jump here, jump there, stop motion, frame this, blur that, ugh...it made me seasick to watch. I mean, Ricky performing is a special effect by itself. We don't need all this craziness to make it "better."
A lot of it is footage of the scenery outside a car window. Spain is pretty and all, but that's not what I paid to see. Most of the conversations are blotted out and covered with music. There are some good clips at the end of Ricky goofing off and one of him doing one-arm pullups (nice arms), but in general I was disappointed. Even the video for Te Extrano, which is on the DVD, is of very poor quality, like they held the camera up to a TV and taped it from there. The "Behind the Scenes" making of that video is in slow motion and shows basically nothing except a few good Ricky facial expressions; again, no dialogue at all.
Anyway, I was really bummed out about it. On top of all of that I thought this was a "new" video, but it's not; all of the footage is pre-Vuelve (before 1999). The worst part of all are the cheesy voiceovers that boom out at you about how wonderful Ricky is. I was looking for more info about Ricky, and this really didn't deliver.

See Ricky Martin as you have never seen him before: up close and personal. Travel with him on his sold-out European concert tour. Feel like you're a part of the exuberant crowds that dance and sway to his mesmerizing rhythms and gyrations as he performs his songs in different venues across Europe. Swoon to his sultry songs and sensual charisma in this exhilarating production featuring eight great performances and a bonus video clip. A must-have collector's video! Songs: No Puedo Mas, Bombom De Azucar, Nada Es Imposible, A Medio Vivir, Susana, Dime Que Quieres, Maria, Te Extrano 2. 70 minutes.

Ricky Martin: Live - Black and White Tour (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received my pre-ordered copy of the CD/DVD combo from Tribeca. I watched the video yesterday! I loved it! I attended the concert in Anaheim on September 29th and the DVD is an excellent reminder of the most amazing and exciting concert I have ever attended. Seeing Ricky on stage in his native Puerto Rico was a thrill. There are two songs that really stand out for me on this DVD.
First is "La Bomba" I was totally blown away at the concert to see this number done at break neck speed. The regular release was done in about 4.5 minutes. The MTV Unplugged release was slightly slower and ran about 5.5 minutes. In the Black and White tour they did the whole number in probably 2.5 minutes! I stood there in awe as I watched it live on stage and laughed so hard I almost fell out. It's captured here on video for posterity! Great show Ricky!
The second great thing was to see La Marie sing "Tu Recuerdo" with Ricky. When they recorded the song for Unplugged she had just undergone breast cancer surgery and they hadn't been able to rehearse before recording it. She did an excellent job then. Here we are a few years later and she has recovered very well and looks BONITA! It was great to see her healthy and happy, they really shared a moment on stage in PR and I think you'll enjoy it! That alone is worth the price!
