Thalía Album: “Greatest Hits (EMI Latin)”
 Description :
While Thalia may have first turned non-Spanish-speaking ears with her debut English-language record (2003's THALIA) and her pop hit "I Want You," the Mexican singer and telenovela actress was already a major celebrity by that time in many countries. Her 2004 GREATEST HITS sticks to her native language and captures all sides of her musical persona, from saucy Tejano singer to hip-hop-flecked pop crooner.
<p>Thalia possesses a powerful, sultry voice that she skillfully alters to fit the music's mood, in the fashion of Mariah Carey or Celine Dion. She can ooze mournful passion out of a folk song like "Piel Morena" or can seduce even the most surly of thugs as on "Me Pones Sexy" (the original, more sensual Spanish-language version of "I Want You"). She's capable of getting the dance floor moving, as she does on the frantic "Mujer Latina," but she can also draw couples to a slow dance, as she does on "No Me Ensenaste." Thalia's GREATEST HITS also includes two new tracks, the hooky, sing-along "Cuando Tu Me Tocas" and the breathy dance-floor bound "Accion Y Reaccion."

- The bad tracklist ruins it all...
First of all, there's always this whole Paulina vs Thalia thing. Which side am I? Paulina's all the way, however, that doesn't keep me from liking Thalia's music. Through the years, she has given us some classics, many of which are missing here. This how can you call this album a greatest hits album when several are missing? and even some of the songs here weren't hits. It's not all bad, there is some clasics here, like the infectous europop "Regresa A Mi", the gay anthem "A Quien Le Importa" the joyful "Arrasando" and teh beautiful "No Me Enseñaste". Then there's the horrid "Maria La Del Barrio", the tacky "Rosalinda" and "Me Pones Sexy". And what is "Toda La Felicidad" doing here? It wasn't even a single. As for the new tracks, "Accion Y reaccion" is pure class, so fun to dance to and very catchy, "Cuando Tu me Tocas" is just ok.
The tracklist should've been this way:
01. Piel Morena
02. Amandote
03. Gracias A Dios
04. Amor A La Mexicana
05. Por Amor
06. Mujer Latina
07. Viaje Tiempo Atras
08. Entre El Mar Y Una Estrella
09. Regresa A Mi
10. Arrasando
11. Tu Y Yo
12. No Me Enseñaste
13. A Quien Le Importa?
14. Me Pones Sexy
15. Cerca De Ti
16. Accion Y Reaccion
17. Cuando Tu Me Tocas
That would've made a PERFECT Greatest Hits album. How could she leave her #1 hits "Por Amor" and "Gracias A Dios" out? Both tracks were HUGE in latin america, specially in her homeland, Mexico.

- A GOOD COMPILATION BUT...
This is a good compilation but I think she should have included the 'super' song "PONLE REMEDIO", that song is great! and she didn't included in any format( CD or CD+DVD).She should also have included "Gracias a dios" "Amándote" or "Por amor" or the 3 songs.
The previously unrealised song "Acción y reacción" and "Cuando tú me tocas" are pretty good songs( especially "ACCIÓN Y REACCIÓN").
I especially like "Rosalinda", "Entre el mar y 1 estrella" "Regresa a mi" and "Piel morena"
Never the less I recommend it. I'TS A GOOD CD, Buy it.

- Great Album,
If you like Thalia's recent "Thalia (2003)" album and the older "Arrsando" album, this one is for you. From the list of the songs above, you'll note it also includes " Maria La Del Barrio " as well as "No Me Ensenaste " and " Mujer Latina ". These are great tunes. Amazing what is packed into this album. It is worth the "import" price. I use this album for my daily workout. It helps me keep up the pace, And The new Song Is Great.
