This DVD is absolutely incredible and possesses one of the best images I've seen on a music DVD so far. The musical content is magical as Gloria Estefan takes us through her journey as a dance diva with 12 of her greatest and latest videos including "Oye" "Heavens what I feel" "Don't Stop" "Turn the beat around" "You'll be Mine (Party time)" "I'm not giving you up" "Higher" "Everlasting Love" all ranging from the years 94 - 98, 5 of these videos are taken from her already multi platinum release "gloria!". It also takes us behind the scenes of her recent promotional tour of the album with a look at rehearsals for such shows as VH1 diva's live and The world music awards. The DVD has also been nominated for a Grammy for best long form music video at this years (2000) ceremony. A must have and worthy addition to your DVD collection.

Wow! Who would have thought that so much fun and music could be crammed onto a shiny little disc? This music DVD has definitely spoiled me for any future DVD purchases, for this is the level of quality I now expect. It's bright, colorful, and energetic! The videos are superb (especially the mind-blowing sexy "Oye"), the music is lively, the remixes are extremely well done. The Gloria "Hit Mix" is as much fun on video as it was on the maxi-single. The extra tracks, consisting of Spanish language remixes, are definitely not just filler: this is heavy duty party stuff! I wouldn't describe myself as a huge fan of Gloria Estefan, but I do enjoy her music when I hear it. This DVD release is marvelous and one that I will watch over and over! And there are tons of extras for the ardent fans: a biography, two discographies (general and "hits only"), a videography, and English and Spanish lyrics. An excellently produced package. A lot of time and money was spent on this, and it shows!

The new material on this DVD is the highest quality music video I've seen. If you like club music (with a latin edge) you will love this DVD! Not a doubt. However, I own the Gloria Estefan Evolution Tour live in Miami, Diva's Live (where I only pay attention to Gloria and Mariah), and I have the Gloria! cd as well...The Don't Stop DVD contains materials from each of these previous DVDs, which is great if you don't own them, but disappointing if you do own them.

What a phenominal collection!!!
I have been waiting for a long time to see these videos.
Originally I had the vhs version of this collection but it did not have the same videos as the dvd.
The dvd contains some excerpts from interviews and awards shows with the Latina Diva herself. It also contains behind the scenes on most of her videos. The quality is first rate. The sound is clean and the picture (color included) is fantastic.
But let's get to the meat of this review: the videos.
First of all she contains videos with remixed songs. Those would be Turn The Beat Around (she is even sexy pregnant) and I'm Not Giving You Up (one of my favorites from Gloria). She also includes a few "live" videos (disappointing that they were lip synched-but who cares). They are Don't Stop and Party Time. Also included in this collection is the first release from her multiple platinum, all dance cd GLORIA!: Heaven's What I Feel.
She also has a few of her Spanish videos: Tres Deseos (very cute theme for a video) and the Spanish version of Oye.
Speaking of OYE-what a hot, hot, hot, Ricky Martin has nothing on Gloria, hot, hot video. OYE was probably the only real reason I purchased this dvd. This is unlike the Gloria we have all grown to love. OYE is steamy, sexy and incredible.
If you are truely a Gloria fan, you must own this dvd.

I love Gloria Estefan, I love this DVD. This DVD shows how every DVD disc should have been made!

"Don't Stop" DVD includes amazing music videos (perfect image/sound quality) and tons of bonus stuff (discographies, biography, lyrics etc). All the videos are mixed together, so this is 100% non-stop dance video collection... everything is extremely well done. The supersexy hot "Oye" video is Gloria's best video ever, and you can get it with this collection!

This DVD really heats up any party with sizzling latin beats and groovy music videos! Get it now! You won't be disappointed!

Although the video for 'Oye' is sexually charged, it is still quite amazing to me. It was great to see Gloria not be a goody two shoes for once in her life, and just let loose. The video as a whole is AMAZING! She is , in my mind, one of, if not the BEST dance diva alive!

Don't Stop..INDEED!

For those who enjoy good dance music, that is the best DVD. Gloria puts together old, new and certainly forever hits in a dance way that makes you want to dance from the first to the last clip. The transition between musics is perfect! You can put the DVD on and start the party! As she says, EVERYBODY KNOWS IS PARTY TIME!

Gloria Estefan is always at her best, but this video has helped me to understand her emotions as a woman who has abandoned a true love (her country) for survival and how her soul hungers for a place that she may never be able to hold in her arms again. Although her pain is sad, she sings with so much love I can feel how tangible her lust for cuba is. She sings her soul into mine. This DVD gives what love is really all about; a love that will never die.

Words cannot express the upbeat feeling of this superb DVD. The quality of the Dolby Digital track is as clear as a bell and the imaging is as sharp as a tack. If you like Gloria and you don't love this DVD, you will then need to take a very large hammer and smash your DVD player to bits.

I have seen this DVD and it is great. I love Gloria and have been a fan of her for 13 years! All the interviews and music are blended together so it is a none stop party, Gloria really does send out the message of "Don't Stop!" Get this DVD now!
