Amazon.com essential recording
Although she's been doing Latin pop since Jennifer Lopez was in junior high, Gloria Estefan has progressed little, as evidenced from the derivative dance and disco retreads on Greatest Hits Vol. II. Apart from a few true gems like "Reach" and "Heaven's What I Feel," the album is a boring mix of covers ("Turn the Beat Around" and "Everlasting Love") and original tracks that blend into one another--all Cuban rhythm and banal lost-love lyrics. Gloria has a one-of-a-kind voice and great style--she's a surefire talent--and her music is still fabulous in her native language (check out Mi Tierra or Abriendo Puertas). But if you're looking for a real sampler of her greatest hits, the first volume, released in 1992, is still the way to go. --Courtney Kemp

Customer Reviews

Too Good For Number 2
When an artist releases a greatest hits CD, one expects the volume 1 of that artists' hits to be good and with Gloria Estefan she accomplished that on her first hits package, giving us one of the more enjoyable hits package around, from classics like "Conga", "Anything For You" and "Here We Are", to the suprise hit "I See Your Smile" this album is a true winner. Now for an the same artist to release a greatest hits II package and expect it to hold up just as well as the first is something that artist hopes hold true. With "Greatest Hits II" Gloria gives us more songs that have put this artist future into the realm of excellence. On this album Gloria continues where "Greatest Hits I". Starting with 1993 and landing into this year. Songs like "Turn The Beat Around" and "Everlasting Love" from the album "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" in 1994, continuing with "Reach", "I'm Not Giving You Up" and "You'll Be Mine" from the underrated "Destiny" album in 1996, and landing into 2001, with a new song "You Can't Walk Away From Love" which if people love this artist should hope to see this in the top 10, were this artist and song belong, all in all "Greatest Hits II" holds up just as well as "Greatest Hits I" just to prove you should never count an artist out.

THE LATIN QUEEN DOES IT AGAIN!!!
Gloria Estefan does it one more time with this amazing collection of hits. I didnt think that she could top her first Greatest Hits album..but she proved me wrong! All 10 greatest hits tracks are wonderful. But her three new songs are soon to be classics. Out of Nowhere..will soon be a club and radio hit! As will I Got No Love...cowritten by Jon Secada...the song is full of R&B flavor...a new sound for Gloria, but it fits her well...A MUST HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION!!! You wont be disappointed. You also get some cool linear notes on each of her hits...some behind the music stuff its real cool. ENJOY!

Another 10 years of hits!
It's a well known fact that Gloria Estefan is one of the most popular female performers ever to grace the stage. Her songs are loved by all. "Greatest Hits Vol. 2" proves this statement true. The CD packs 10 English hits as well as three new songs, which are sure to be chart toppers. As a bonus, Gloria included "Y-Tu-Conga" a remix of the classic, "Conga" mixed by Gloria's son, Nayib. The remix starts off using the original vocals recorded in 1985. However, towards the end, Gloria ad-libs the classic chorus, "Come on shake your body baby do the Conga!" As a bonus, some clips of "Conga" performed from live shows are thrown in, as well as ad-libbed clips from "Dr. Beat" and "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You." "Vol. 2" is essential to your CD collection, right next to Vol. 1. This CD also shows that Gloria Estefan is here to stay!
