5.0 out of 5 stars Finally someone got it right, November 24, 1999

One of my biggest pet peeves in music is the increasing trend to do two or more versions of a song. Often, you'd hear a catchier, dancier pop "radio edit" of a song and find the mix on the album to be less appealing, sometimes to the extreme of sounding like a completely different song. It was for this reason that I had avoided Shania's "Come On Over" release, since I liked what I heard on the radio, but disliked the "country mixes" I heard while sampling her original CD. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that her record company has come to thier senses and released this "International Version" to compensate for those of us that prefer the remixed pop Shania. From "Don't Impress Me Much" and "From this Moment On" I realize she's had 4 successful singles from this album, and they're all here--for less than the price of buying one import single containing any of these mixes. If you're like me and resisted the original, buy this one--you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fabulous - Sweety, December 6, 1999

This review is from: Come On Over - International Version (Audio CD)

Switching onto VH1 one day I was confronted with the vision of a leapord-skin pattern clad young lady wandering through a desert remarking upon how unimpressible she was. With a raised eyebrow I decided to watch. Twelve seconds later I was hooked. I wanted it - but I had to find out who this was. My first experience of Shania. Based on one song ("That Don't Impress Me Much") - I bought the album and haven't looked back since. With a variety of songs, from emotional to toe-tapping I love every one. I can't wait for her next installment.

My first introduction to Shania Twain was when she appeared on a music awards show and wiggled through a catchy tune in hip-hugging black leather jeans. Needless to say, I wasn't very impressed. A few months ago I received this CD as a present and never opened it until we were on a very long, very boring road trip with nothing to look at except highway and trees. What a pleasant surprise! The music is uplifting, the lyrics are clever, and Shania's "country-pop" style is refreshing to say the least. There is also quite a bit of variety, which keeps me from getting easily bored. The cuts are very radio-friendly and nicely integrate a traditional country sound with a pop style. I was even more impressed to learn that Shania and her husband "Mutt" Lange wrote all of the songs. It's not very often you hear of a talented singer who is an equally talented songwriter. I love all of the tracks but here are a few of my favorites (in no particular order):

(1) Honey I'm Home (2) From This Moment (I LOVE this song...beautiful) (3) Still The One (4) That Don't Impress Me Much

5 Stars. The variety and talent make this one a must buy. Enjoy...
