- THIS IS HOW MUSIC DVDs SHOULD BE!
Wow! Who would have thought that so much fun and music could be crammed onto a shiny little disc? This music DVD has definitely spoiled me for any future DVD purchases, for this is the level of quality I now expect. It's bright, colorful, and energetic! The videos are superb (especially the mind-blowing sexy "Oye"), the music is lively, the remixes are extremely well done. The Gloria "Hit Mix" is as much fun on video as it was on the maxi-single. The extra tracks, consisting of Spanish language remixes, are definitely not just filler: this is heavy duty party stuff! I wouldn't describe myself as a huge fan of Gloria Estefan, but I do enjoy her music when I hear it. This DVD release is marvelous and one that I will watch over and over! And there are tons of extras for the ardent fans: a biography, two discographies (general and "hits only"), a videography, and English and Spanish lyrics. An excellently produced package. A lot of time and money was spent on this, and it shows!

- I NEED AT LEAST 10 MORE STARS...
What a phenominal collection!!!
I have been waiting for a long time to see these videos.
Originally I had the vhs version of this collection but it did not have the same videos as the dvd.
The dvd contains some excerpts from interviews and awards shows with the Latina Diva herself. It also contains behind the scenes on most of her videos. The quality is first rate. The sound is clean and the picture (color included) is fantastic.
But let's get to the meat of this review: the videos.
First of all she contains videos with remixed songs. Those would be Turn The Beat Around (she is even sexy pregnant) and I'm Not Giving You Up (one of my favorites from Gloria). She also includes a few "live" videos (disappointing that they were lip synched-but who cares). They are Don't Stop and Party Time. Also included in this collection is the first release from her multiple platinum, all dance cd GLORIA!: Heaven's What I Feel.
She also has a few of her Spanish videos: Tres Deseos (very cute theme for a video) and the Spanish version of Oye.
Speaking of OYE-what a hot, hot, hot, Ricky Martin has nothing on Gloria, hot, hot video. OYE was probably the only real reason I purchased this dvd. This is unlike the Gloria we have all grown to love. OYE is steamy, sexy and incredible.
If you are truely a Gloria fan, you must own this dvd.

- What an evolution!
Although the video for 'Oye' is sexually charged, it is still quite amazing to me. It was great to see Gloria not be a goody two shoes for once in her life, and just let loose. The video as a whole is AMAZING! She is , in my mind, one of, if not the BEST dance diva alive!
Don't Stop..INDEED!

- Gloria Estefan: Don't Stop
Gloria Estefan is always at her best, but this video has helped me to understand her emotions as a woman who has abandoned a true love (her country) for survival and how her soul hungers for a place that she may never be able to hold in her arms again. Although her pain is sad, she sings with so much love I can feel how tangible her lust for cuba is. She sings her soul into mine. This DVD gives what love is really all about; a love that will never die.

- Get Out Your Dancing Shoes!
Words cannot express the upbeat feeling of this superb DVD. The quality of the Dolby Digital track is as clear as a bell and the imaging is as sharp as a tack. If you like Gloria and you don't love this DVD, you will then need to take a very large hammer and smash your DVD player to bits.
