DVD Reviews of Eurythmics - Greatest Hits

DVD Review: "You want me to sing now? WOWWWWWW!!"
Summary: 5 Stars

As the sticker on the cover's shrinkwrap says, Eurythmics is "The Definitive New Wave Band" and doesn't break that promise. What more could a fan ask for than a compilation of their conceptual videos? If only it could be updated to include the ones from the album "Peace" it couldn't be more perfect.

Annie Lennox's voice is pure, soulful and instantly recognized. No matter what the hair, she is undeniably the most beautiful woman in rock! Dave Stewart is a gifted musician and filmmaker (he directed many of their videos) and is downright seductive with one close-up of his face looking right at the camera. They prove they have the talent in every aspect of music and visuals.

Those with a keen eye will enjoy the gender-bending appearances (look for singer Marilyn in "Who's That Girl") and special touches (the leather-clad Hell's Angels in "Thorn In My Side"--dig the guy with the rose tattoo!). All of the clips hold up extremely well today, showing that in the 1980s there was a very creative edge that completely puts today's MTV cookie cutter videos to shame. This is particularly notable in the songs "It's Alright" with astounding animation and the cinematic beauty of "Angel." I really appreciated the trilogy of "Beethoven," "I Need A Man," and "You Have Placed A Chill In My Heart," with Annie reprising characters. It's really hard to top the biting satire of "King And Queen Of America"--when I saw Tammy Faye in a McDonald's in Palm Desert I immediately thought of Annie Lennox's wonderful portrayal in that video! Gives me giggles of delight!

Those who appreciate the music of the 80s and Eurythmics will be so pleased with this compilation! We need more collections like this and those younger folk who thing today's "bands" are so great should take a look at this one and they would surely learn a thing or two about what is truly GREAT music and what it takes to make flawless music videos! As the song goes, WOULD I LIE TO YOU........?
