Pretty cool how the song, Still the One originated from Elton John. Was a big fan of Elton and regretted seeing the movie Rocketman about him since it did not portray him in a good light. Backstreet Boy Nick Carter shows up in this with Shania. There are two 45 minute specials on this disks. Was a big fan of Shania until she seemed to botch up her personal life with Mutt. She's back on track though it seems making a comeback. A must watch for fans!

This was fun to watch all over again. I have been a huge Shania twain fan for years. Also, her Winter Break concert introduced me to the Backstreet boys, whom I fell in love with. Her concerts have energy and joy in them. I really love these concerts.

It's Shania! - She Rocks From Start To Finish - Incredible

"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.

Shania 5 Stars Production Company 3 Stars

"Let me first preface this review by simply stating the obvious, "Shania Twain is one of the best, if not the best, musical entertainer of our time". Now any negative comments I make will be directed toward the director, production crew, and the editor. The first concert, Winter Break, performed in Miami is a terrific first attempt at trying to recreate the electricity you feel at a live Shaina Twain Concert. The staging was unimaginative at best, especially if one compares the staging for her second Dallas appearance. The DVD is titled "Shania Twain Live" and is one of the finest live concert recordings in existance. Every manager, agent, tour promotor, or venue booker should be required to watch this DVD one hundred time so that they can show case their talent the way Shania is presented in that DVD. In winter break, Shania's unabassed here worship of Elton John appears, like everything else she say, directly from the heart. Their performance of "The Way You Look Tonight" will knock your socks off, but the editors have not made a cut so that if you want to, you could just play that one song over and over and then want to plays it a few more times. The second concert, "Come On Over" which was additional entertainment after a Dallas Cowboy's home game was great. Shania was as beautiful as ever with the sexist, non revealing costumes. Shania Twain is a giant talent and to waste time with camp type skits featuring several players and the Cowboy Cheer leaders just takes away time from the music industry's most spectacular star. If you want to spent an evening watch a concert venue performer grow into a superstar then not only buy the DVD, but also buy Shania Twain Live."

We can't get enough of this DVD!

"Shania is talented enough on her own, but when you add her band, it is excellent. My family can't get enough of this DVD. She has an excellent band. They are great to listen too, but are also entertaining to watch. There is always something to watch on stage. I especially enjoy the transition from practice to the actual concert in Dallas and when she sang with Elton John in Florida. My children enjoy the dancers. We can't wait to see her in concert when she tours again."
