To celebrate her smash Come On Over album, country crossover superstar Shania Twain starred in two 1999 TV specials. Winter Break finds Twain in balmy Miami Beach for an outdoor concert belting out hits like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" along with the Backstreet Boys (who perform with and without her) and Elton John, who duets with the star on surprisingly soulful versions of "You're Still the One" and "Something About the Way You Look Tonight." Thrown in are clips of Twain tooling around her wintry homeland, Canada.

The Come On Over special features Twain in a Dallas concert that, in addition to bouncy hits like the title song, goes on cutesy detours with the star, shown hanging out in the Dallas Cowboys locker room, with the team in practice, and with--yes--the Cowboy cheerleaders. The ultimate cheerleader, Twain grinningly leads her audience through her sing-song tunes, which is more than enough to sate her fans. --Kevin Filipski

It's Shania! - She Rocks From Start To Finish - Incredible5
This video features her TV specials Winter Break & Come On Over. She is the only female artist in US history to achieve back to back Diamond Awards (sales of 10 million) selling albums. In addition to Shania these specials include performances by Elton John, Backstreet Boys, and The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Shania does a very nice duet with Elton John in Miami, Fl.

The video includes photographs of Shania in her native Canada and of the home in which she grew up and learned to love music. The sound quality on this VHS is outstanding. No need to rush out and buy the DVD.

This video gives the viewer some of Shania's life story in very well conceived flashbacks to her native Canada. Sadly, we learn in one of the flashbacks that her Dad and Mom were killed in an auto accident.

Shania and a team of performers on stage perform "Don't Be Stupid" with amazing high-energy. It is just breath-taking. Most of her songs are wonderfully spirited. She seems to have an endless supply of incredible energy. It is just awesome. Thank you Shania.

Awesome5
This review refers to the DVD verison of this title. I have seen both of these performances on TV and recorded both of them on VHS format, enjoying both of them. I was thrilled to see it available on DVD format, ordering it right away.
The concert "Come On Over" from Texas Stadium was just awesome the crystal clear picture (on my computer DVD player) and top notch production made you feel like you were there in concert.
This DVD contained more footage then what was shown on the CBS special.
I wish I could view this DVD on a large digital TV with surround sound.
If you are a Shania Twain fan this product in the DVD format is for you.

"Shania impressed me much" 5
Shania Twain provides 100 percent on her astonishing and incredible live performance. She totally rocks from start to finish and guest stars such as Elton John and The Backstreet Boys join her on this unforggetable Musical Event held in miami florida. Shania Twain "GOD Bless You Always".
