Who wouldn't thank their stars, count their blessings, jump at & grab the Chance without a second thought? Such is the pull & power of HER magic / Music!
I. Introduction:
The Queen of Pop, Shania reigns as the Top-selling Female Arist to date - a phenomenon & has crossed all the 'Music Boundaries' by just 3 Major Music Video / audio albums....'The Woman In Me' (1995),'Come On Over' (1997) 'Up' (2002) before this ultimate one, The 'Greatest Hits' (that sold 10+ million copies each winning a Diamond Certificate by RIAA)! She thrills & delights both the Ordinary 'who lust after her hits' & the aficionados who go into raptures!
Statistics apart, there are millions & millions of screaming fans of her 'who hear their own stories & feelings' in her superb song-lyrics. I'm no exception to it! Whether she assumes an attitude or declares her love in 'a sweet & simple way' , her audience 'resonate' with her. She writes her lyrics, delivers her songs & performs on the stage & tours all around. Shania spells success! What a thrill to watch her perform in a concert (in TV or live)
This review is all about Shania's High Energy 'Greatest Hits' Music Video Album that boasts of 17 of her favourites & 3 new songs:
'Forever and For Always', 'I'm Gonna Getcha Good', 'UP!', 'Come On Over', 'Man! I Feel Like A Woman!', 'That Don't Impress Me Much', 'From This Moment', 'Honey, I'm Home', 'You're Still The One', 'Don't Be Stupid', 'Love Gets Me Every Time', 'No One Needs To Know', 'You Win My Love', 'I'm Outta Here', 'The Woman In Me'
'Any Man Of Mine', 'Whose Bed Have Your Boots under', 'Party for Two' (with Mark McGrath)', 'Don't!', 'Party for Two (with Billy Currington)' & 'I Ain't No Quitter'
II. My Favorites:
Though I love all the super hit songs in the album, I'd like to focus on just 2 songs, 1. ' A Party For Two' & 2. 'That Don't Impress Me Much'.
In 'A Party For Two' ( With Billy Currington), Shania is at her Flirting & Teasing, Coquettish & Persuasive Best. In that Music video catchy song, we meet the Real Shania who is strong but playful, believing in & demanding respect for the 'Woman In Her'. She transmits her playful & romantic attitude. What a Robust Female Confidence & sensuality equal to that of a guy! How highly energetic with unmistakable cravings for youthful daliance, love of life & love-life!
III. Let's watch the Show:
A) Shania Twain (S) - Party For Two (With Billy Currington : 'B')
(Dominating Shania in Highboots)
a) Invitation to A Hot Party & To Join the Fun:
S: I'm having me a party,
B: I don't think I can come
S: This ain't just any kind of party,
B: I think I'll stay at home
S: It's gonna be really, really hot,
B: It's starting to sound good
S: I'm gonna put you on the spot,
B: Baby, maybe I should
S:They'll be lots of one on one,
B: I guess I could be there
S:Come on and join the fun,
B:What should I wear?
S: Don't Bother, it doesn't matter
'Cause it's only gonna be, you and me there
S: It doesn't matter what I wear
'Cause it's only gonna be, you and me there .....
I'm having a party, a party for two
I ain't inviting nobody, nobody but you
B; 'You'll be sexy in your socks,
In case anybody knocks,
S: Let's lock all the doors
(Yeah, all the things I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna do with you
I'm gonna try something new,
I wanna try that too
Shake it, shake it''
So goes the show..)
B). ''That Don't Impress Me Much': sings Shania to which we say, 'You do Impress us Most'!
Shania takes no guy as Genius (sorry BG, she doesn't know you!) & she knows they're all 'just a regular original' may be, 'a know all'. What one has to have to impress Shania? Listen to her:
'Got the BRAIN of a Rocket-Scientist, or the LOOKS of Brad Pitt, or the BRAWNS & MOVES of a car-lover or the COOLNESS of a guy like Elvis, or something, WHATEVER!' ? They do impress her but not much! These attributes don't make them anyone special. They're alright but she asks 'Do they have the TOUCH to keep her warm in the middle of the night?'That matters her most !
How plain, bold, unabashedly most forthright in telling what 'The Woman In Her' wants in the 'Man In Her Boyfriend'!
IV.Conclusion:
These Songs have a special eternal appeal. 'If Life without Music is a Mistake', then, 'Life without Shania's Music is a Sin!'
What do her songs & music appeal to? Ears? Hearts? Minds? No! Baser-instincts? Never.
Her music finds its way & goes straight to the 'SOUL' just as 'Pizza-Cake- Ice Cream-Trans Fat' goes straight to the DIETING women's thighs!
Thank you all for reading this intro. of mine to Shania & her 'Greatest Hits'!
