Disco de Shania Twain: “Come on Over (International Version)”

I've never been a huge fan of country music. But I remember the first time i heard "you're still the one" i went crazy. The song is completely moving. A couple weeks went by and i was flipping thru the T.V. and heard "That don't impress me much". I told my wife, hey now there are 2 different singers (country) that I like. When the video ended it said it was Shania Twain. I was absolutely floored. A couple weeks later I was listening to a pop station and heard "from this moment". I didn't know who did it, when I found out it was Shania I finally decided to go get the CD. This album is full of great rock, country and pop.

Shania has a very tasteful voice and Mutt Lange is one over the top producer. If you like variety in your music you gotta pick this up. She pulls of a Bonnie Raitt style tune with "If you wanna touch her ask" and you can hear a Blondie influence on "When". She pulls out some great southern rock meets bryan adams on "Whatever you do! don't!".

The vocal melodies on this album are the best i've heard in a long time. Shania can take a pop tune "From this moment" and pull off a Mariah with ease and quite a bit more style.

If you buy one CD this year, make it this one! there isn't a bad song on this album.

This is both a good & different album than any other Country based music I've heard. Probably because it really isn't Country? After several listenings, I came to the conclusion that this was 70% Pop, 20% Country, & 10% Disco. I'll leave that debate to those more familiar with those genre's. This was a very lively, even optimistic group of songs. Shania's voice was better with the faster songs.

These are the ones I thought were done the best. "When," the only cynical tune on a cheerful album. It is a "yea right," tune that felt like it did not belong. Perhaps, thats why it stuck out? "From This Moment," certainly a smooth love ballad if there ever was one. Shania sang this from the heart, & it came through exquisitely. "Man I Feel Like A Woman," a feel good girl song with drums, electric guitar, & some mild fiddles. "Love Gets Me Everytime," more of a traditional love song with single girl meeting a guy & falling in love, with a fast tempo. "Come On Over," strong Accordion with one friend comforting another. "Your Still The One," probably her biggest hit? A smoothly done slow tempo tune about a couple who proved the naysayers wrong by staying together.

Anyone out there who read those negetive reviews about this CD, DO NOT listen. This is a great CD, Shania Twain is awesome, and her music is the coolest. BUY THIS CD.

Who cares if it is country or pop. If you do not know by now that country music is changing, there is little hope for you. Here is why COO is the best album ever made. It has 16 great songs on it. Shania has released 10 of them to date. 8 of the 10 have been a top 5 or top 10 hit. The other 2 were in the top 20. COO is the only album in music history to record 8 top 10 singles from one album. Another 5 or 6 COO singles will be released in 2000. When they all become top 10 hits, no other artist will have a hope of catching Shania's record. After more than 2 years on the top of the charts, COO is still selling 70,000 units a week and is #3 on Billboard's Country Chart. What other solo artist of any genre can say that after 2 years - talk about staying power. At 14 million and counting (US sales only, never mind world wide sales), COO is alone in second place behind Alanis Morissette's (another Canadian) Jagged Little Pill at 16 million as the top selling album by a female artist. At Shania's selling pace, COO will surpass JLP in 2000. As for Shania's singing, you only have to listen to The Woman IN ME single or From This Moment ON to realize that Shania posseses a clear, powerful voice with considerable range. Her ballads are beautiful and the fast songs are fun to hear and sing along to. Tune into Shania's November 25th CBS TV Special to find out why she received the Country Music Association's highest honor- Entertainer Of The Year. Go and see her in one of her current sold out concerts(if you can get a ticket). She may be beautiful but she is one great charismatic, talented and very personable entertainer. She is the best.

Man, not only is this woman HOT!, believe it or not her music is SMOKIN'! Listening to this CD kinda reminds me of listening to AC/DC's Highway TO Hell album. Both were produced by "Mutt" Lange, both have catchy riffs, both filled with vocal quips, both having a ton of energy, and both have irresistable songs. Bon Scott of AC/DC sang this album for the men 20 years on Highway and now Shania is upholding womanhood for the gals on this one. Filled with songs like Man! I Feel Like A Woman, If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!, Whatever You Do! Don't! and Honey I'm Home should bring out the woman in every woman, with too many exclamation points. But her songs are good, even for a man to hear, i'm proud of being a fan. This album is terrific from beginning to end, just like Highway To Hell is. She's just what country music need too, sounding like a breath of fresh air, she gives country music the firecracker up the arse it's been needing for a long time. And that does impress me much. Rock this country Shania!
