The Backstreet Boys' The Video Hits: Chapter One is an entertaining collection of video hits from their albums Backstreet Boys, Millennium, and Black & Blue. It's not an exact duplication of the companion CD, The Hits: Chapter One, as it lacks the video for "Drowning." Each video offers something unique, from sending up the Michael Jackson classic "Thriller" in "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," to the sci-fi themed "Larger Than Life" to several straight-ahead performances with great sets, special effects, bare chests, and dance breaks. "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" is an especially moving tribute to the band's personal losses. "I Want It That Way" portrays a stylized road tour and "The One" shows a live performance. The best story video is "The Call," a tale of infidelity and seduction. --Larry Clark

Additional features
On the DVD, the videos are presented in order based on which album the songs appeared on. The Resume feature plays a montage of either each of the 12 videos or the videos from a particular album. The photos used in "The One" are not accessible separately. --Larry Clark

Customer Reviews

Great, but incomplete
This is a great dvd collection for any Backstreet Boy fan. The videos are:

From the album BACKSTREET BOYS
Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)
I'll Never Break Your Heart BACKSTREET BOYS [1998 version]

From the album BACKSTREET'S BACK (but BACKSTREET BOYS in the U.S.)
As Long As You Love Me
Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
All I Have To Give

From MILLENIUM
I Want It That Way
Larger Than Life
Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely
The One

From BLACK AND BLUE
Shape Of My Heart
The Call
More Than That

The majority of Backstreet Boys' videos are included here. However, there are a number which are missing. This compilation appears to lack five videos, which in my opinion, are some of their best. They are:

1. Drowning

The others (which are all from the album BACKSTREET BOYS), are:

2. We've Got It Goin On - Their first video. They appear to be just 'hanging out', at a car wash, playing basketball, and dancing in a club etc.

3. Anywhere For You - In this video they're at the beach.

4. Get Down (You're the One For Me) - Here they are mainly dancing on a round stage with tv screens all around them.

5. I'll Never Break Your Heart - 1996 version. This was actually re-released; the old version had the boys at what appeared to be a ski resort.

For those who want to see the majority of the Backstreet Boys videos, this is the DVD to buy. Although incomplete, the videos present are in good quality. Maybe these missing videos will be released in the future. This is only "Chapter One" of their video hits, after all.

Chapter One companion
As soon as I read the back of the CD "the hits-Chapter One," I deemed it an instant classic and one of the best compilation CDs ever compiled. This band has had so much success--and now here is the companion to the CD, the music videos for each song. This is a great DVD if you love the Backstreet Boys. I think the only people that will even consider buying it are people like me that love everything Backstreet. I've always loved Backstreet videos, and I finally have all of the hits in one place, and I don't have to watch hours of MTV to get them! The only reason I gave this 4 instead of five stars is that I think they should've released a more "concert" type video with live performances. I love music videos, but nothing beats the Backstreet Boys harmonizing on a stage.

Wow- -that's all I gotta say!
I've been a huge avid fan of the Backstreet Boys since '97, and I own all their albums. I've seen all their music videos on MTV and the Disney Channel. And now, after they recorded HITS - CHAPTER ONE, the album, they came out with this amazing complication DVD featuring all of their hit music videos, except for their new song, "Drowning" (which can only be found on the CD-Single and the hits album). That is the only disappointing thing about this DVD. Oh well. I actually think the music video is on the CD-Single for "Drowning" because I think the CD-Single is enchanced, so it might show the video. But anyway, this is the full-list of all the music videos you will see on this DVD (not in the correct order):

"Quit Playin' Games (With My Heart)" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1997)
"As Long As You Love Me" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1997)
"Everybody (Backstreet's Back)" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1997)
"I'll Never Break Your Heart" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1998)
"All I Have To Give" ~ BACKSTREET BOYS (1998)
"I Want It That Way" ~ MILLENNIUM (1999)
"Larger Than Life" ~ MILLENNIUM (1999)
"Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" ~ MILLENNIUM (1999)
"Shape Of My Heart" ~ BLACK & BLUE (2000)
"The Call" ~ BLACK & BLUE (2000)
"More Than That" ~ BLACK & BLUE (2000)

Of course, they always miss out on some of their hit songs like "We've Got It Goin' On" (the very first single in late 1996, which is off their BACKSTREET BOYS album); "What Makes You Different (Makes You Beautiful)" - I don't think they've made a music video for that but it was a single for some short time, and possibly one of their best love ballads ever, and several other songs that were International singles. I do not understand why they cannot put International music videos on a music video DVD that is released in the US. That only forces the hardcore fans to buy the International versions of the DVDs instead of the US version.

I also feel as though this complication DVD is not complete because they could have added more to it like interviews with the Backstreet Boys, snipets of their concerts, photo galleries, biographies, some extra bonus BSB footage, and other things that would make a fan pleased. But all in all, as far as the music videos go, this is an excellent collection of all the BSB's hit music videos and a must have for all die-heart BSB fans. Now, you don't have to go rushing to tape all of their music videos every time you see them on MTV or the Disney Channel!

~P.S.: The DVD sound and picture quality is excellent and top-notch. The BSB deserve all the credit and success they have achieved and more!!~
