Movie Reviews of VH1 Divas Live 99
Movie Review: BOOO THIS IS NOT RIGHT!
Summary: 2 Stars
I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS DVD FOR ONE REASON......EDITING!!! WHY WOULD YOU PUT THE CONCERT ON DVD IF YOU WERE GONNA CUT IT DOWN?!? I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF A DVD, SO IT COULD SHOW ALOT MORE AND NOT BE SQUISHED DOWN INTO 60 MINTUES ON VHS. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMENTARIES AND PERFORMANCES THAT ARE MISSING FROM THIS FEATURE INCLUDING: TINA TURNER'S PERFORMANCE OF "LETS STAY TOGETHER", AND ALSO TWO OF WHITNEY'S PERFORMANCES "ITS NOT RIGHT, BUTS ITS OKAY" AND "YOUR LOVE IS MY LOVE(or the other way around)". I SPECIFICALLY BOUGHT THIS DVD FOR THE 'IT'S NOT RIGHT' PERFORMANCE AND OTHER REASONS, AND TO THINK THAT THEY WOULD CUT OUT TINA!?!?!? TINA TURNER AND WHITNEY HOUSTON BROUGHT THE FIRE AND EXCITEMENT TO THE SHOW THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE PAINFULLY BORING. BUT THEY DO SHINE WHILE THEY'RE THERE.
Summary of VH1 Divas Live 99
Relive the magic of this spectacular concert as the greatest divas ever assembled on one stage sing their greatest hits, then join together for once in a lifetime performances. Songs: The Best (Tina Turner), The Bitch Is Back (Tina Turner & Elton John), Proud Mary (Tina Turner, Elton John & Cher), If I Could Turn Back Time (Cher), How Do I Live (LeAnn Rimes), I'm Still Standing (Elton John), Have You Ever?/Almost Doesn't Count (Brandy), (Everything I Do) I Do It For You (Brandy & Faith Hill), This Kiss (Faith Hill), Ain't No Way (Whitney Houston & Mary J. Blige), I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston), I'm Every Woman (Whitney Houston & Chaka Khan), I'm Every Woman (Reprise) (Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, Faith Hill, Brandy, LeAnn Rimes & Mary J. Blige).Strutting through the audience, the indomitable Tina Turner opens VH1's Divas Live 99 by launching into "Simply the Best," proving she still is. She and honorary diva Elton John belt out an energetic version of "The Bitch Is Back," but the highlight is when Turner teases the captivated audience during the slow, sultry opening of "Proud Mary." A sexy dervish on stage, Turner easily out-swaggers her younger backup singer-dancers. Cher joins her to wrap up the classic hit, then segues into her own set in which she seems breathless, but you can't help admire her staying power (four decades!) and forgive her. Diva-in- training Leann Rimes performs "How Do I Live" with a sure, powerful voice. Next to her, Brandy is pleasant but unexciting. Her breathy rendition of "Everything I Do I Do for You" is disappointing, but it picks up when Faith Hill enters. Adding a passion and conviction that young Brandy can't yet muster, Hill grounds the song. ?ber-diva Whitney Houston gives us the drawn-out vocal gymnastics for which she's famous. Self-effacing she's not, but the girl can hold a note like nobody's business. Mary J. Blige matches Houston in a charged "Ain't No Way."
Divas Live 99 is a benefit for Save the Music, VH1's project to stress the importance of music education in public schools. Clocking in at an hour and 18 minutes, the video is edited down from the original special, but it moves along at a satisfying clip. Though not as stunning as the previous year's Divas Live, it's still an enjoyable concert from some of music's favorite performers. --Dana Van Nest
