 The Best of En Vogue
Submitted on: 2007-01-09 |

| Cannot give this CD a good review because it was so scatched it repeated the same song. The seller did refund my money, which I did not request but did get an email about "you got your order, what else can I do for your?" Thanks, Mary A. Mooney |

 Still waiting for a GOOD EV Greatest Hits disc.

I suppose if you must, this is the best of your available choices in terms of hard-to-find material. There's four songs not available on any proper EV album; it contains soundtrack single No Fool No More, the radio version of Love Don't Love You (with a much better beat), plus two hidden bonus tracks: the radio remix of Let It Flow (previously unreleased in the US), and a completely new extended remix of Hold On (which is NOT the same as the remix on the Very Best of En Vogue--it's updated, more house-like).
Everything else can be found on their albums, and unfortunately the single versions were often preferrable--EVERY song here once had a different radio mix. There has NEVER been an En Vogue compilation with all the single versions, and it's irritating. I keep hoping they'll release one eventually.
So you could buy this and get mostly album tracks that aren't necessarily what you remember off the radio; or you could buy their full-length albums and explore their other good "filler" tracks, like Yesterday, Hooked On Your Love, The Right Direction, and Fallin' In Love.
This set also lacks You Don't Have To Worry (one of the surprisingly few top 40 pop hits they had, I don't know why it's not here), Don't Go (a fairly major R&B-only hit), and Riddle (from the subsequent Masterpiece Theater album).
The ONLY advantage "The Very Best Of..." has over this is that the Very Best Of has liner notes with a fairly thorough group bio, chart positions, promo photos, and album references. This comp has pretty much nothing of interest in the liner notes. I don't honestly know who reads these besides me, though.
So, yeah. The Best of En Vogue is adequate, but not great, and the other compilations honestly aren't any better.
For the record, the single versions were as follows:
1) My Lovin': less one chorus and half the annoying "you bet!" bridge, although the heavily sampled Hyperadio remix was also popular
2) Hold On: additional instrumental bridge, different fade, sometimes without the a capella intro (for better or for worse)
3) Whatta Man: snappier remix, additional/CLEARER adlibs by En Vogue, earlier fade
4) Free Your Mind: chopped two choruses, and it honestly needs the edit. There were various R&B-oriented radio remixes, too.
5) Don't Let Go: shorter intro and fade, chopped some adlibs
6) No Fool No More: slightly more poppy remix
7) Whatever: minimal edit to intro
8) Giving Him Something He Can Feel: edits to the intro and spoken bridge
9) Lies: completely overhauled music, more danceable beat
10) Give It Up Turn It Loose: they got rid of that ANNOYING spoken intro
11) Runaway Love: earlier fade
12) Too Gone Too Long: earlier fade
If they could just put out a comp with the radio versions of 1-5, and 8-10, it'd be so much more worthwhile. |

Where is Theme From Roc?
Submitted on: 2006-06-27 |
|
In my eye, this CD is NOT complete because the theme to 'Roc'...'Live Your Life Today' is not on here, or anywhere. Actually, watching reruns of Roc reminded me that their 2nd theme song is beautiful, and they should have promoted that song. Sad...
But, I love those funky divas! |

| This was a dynamic girl group these women posessed beauty, class, style, and grace and they all could sing every last four of these woman sing well they all can sing unlike other groups where you have one good singer these women are educated, beautiful, talented they all have beautiful voices, they all posess class they all can sing and dance and they all posess style by the way that they dress so therefore what else can you say about these women but I wish that they would have stuck together because they were good so therefore whenever I need a taste of Envogue I listen to this cd and the other cds that I have by them but this is one of my favorite Envogue cds it contains some of my favorites: Don't let go love, Hold on, Lies, Free Your Mind, Give it up turn it loose, and many others I love this album these women should reunite and get back together and do some more good music together I really do enjoy this cd and reccommend anyone who likes Envogue to purchase this cd!!!! |
