I am a HUGE Jesse fan and i was excited to see a DVD out of him. I went to the store and flipped to the back of the DVD to see what was on it. I saw 5 different sections: Music Videos (5), Live Studio Performances (6), Behind the Scenes (boring), In Depth Interviews (Taiwan one was funny), and Bonus Music (1). So that won me over. I pop it into my DVD and I am shocked, 3 of the videos are NOT full length! These include: "Because You Live", "Good Life" and "She's No You - Special Performance Video". I never saw the full length of any of these (even though clips of "Good Life" and "She's No You" was show on the Show Summerland). The clips of "Because You Live" is excellent and would easily have bacame my favorite video if the whole thing was shown (the whole video was close ups of Jesse from the shoulder up - yum), now my second grief.

The "Bonus Music" section is terrible. They play the remix to "She's No You" to a SLIDESHOW of the "She's No You" video and some of the pictures are not that great, like at a girl in the coffee shop or a blurry picture of the bike part.

The "Behind The Scenes" part was kind of boring. Also, the audio on the part about "Beautiful Soul" is pretty bad. I wish they would have closed captioned it. The part on "Get Your Shine On" was okay- I just wish they could have put the whole video in the "Music Video" section. The only good part was the part about the video "She's No You". Did you know they had to cancel their first day of shooting because of snow? Well, you can find this out and more on this section of the DVD.

"In Depth Interviews". I don't remember all of them, but one stands out in my head; Taiwan interview. At this point while I was watching this (I'm 18) my parents started watching with me-and they were laughing out loud. It was so funny Jesse seemed a little out of place in the interview and every once in a while, the interviewer would break out into translating what he said in English to an Asian language. It is very unexpected, which is why it's pretty funny. You have to get the DVD just to see that part.

"Live Studio Performances" was one of the best parts of the DVD. I have 2 things to note about this section: one there are two "Sessions@Aol" performances (Beautiful Soul and She's No You), which you can get for FREE on aolmusic.com and they seemed the weakest of Jesse's vocals.The second thing is there is one called "Blackbird-Stripped Raw and Real". I never heard this song before and it seemed a little short. I don't know if that's how long the song really is or if I got jipped again like in the "Music Video" sections.

In conclusion, this is nowhere near a perfect DVD. Even the best Jesse fan (unless age 10 and under) will not be 100% satisfied after watching the complete DVD (around an hour long). I hope the makers of this DVD will try to fix some of my above complaints for any future music DVD trys.

I'm going to assume that if you didn't like Jesse, you wouldn't even be on this page right now! So I don't think there's too much that I can say that would make you want to buy this DVD anymore than you probably already want to (that's if you haven't got it already!!). But I think it's awesome. It has pretty good interviews, and some newer clips to his old songs. If you are any kind of major fan of Jesse's, you will not want to pass up this one.

Just keep doing that thing you do Jesse!!

Being a big Jesse Fan i enjoyed.I do have a few bones to pick with it though.I would have enjoyed if they had a bit more behind the scenes.Also some of the stuff is a bit old like last year or the year before.All in all its a dvd to buy if your a jesse fan.I reccommened buying it from amazon its a steal here commpared to were i bought it !

Jesse McCatrney has done some pretty decent stuff. Thought he is a teeny Bopper, his vocals are quite enjoyable to listen to; he's not bad to look at either. This dvd contains some of his music videos, plus performances, intervews and alot of extra stuff. It would have been great if they had released this later so the disc could have been released with the official video for 'Because you live' and the unreleased 'Why don't you kiss her'. Still They might be available later on.

If you are a Jesse McCartney lover then this is another item to add to your collection becuase this DVD is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this disc was so cooool!! and i cant stop watching it.I love jesse mccartney.This dvd is great fun to see and it has such awesome features like music videos, interviews and so much more.You get a close look at the making of his beautiful soul album and it was amazing.jesse mccartney is so hot and if you are a jesse mccartney fan you have to see this dvd

i have to say Jesse is awsome. His music is totally awsome. most people like him for his looks, but i like his music just as much as i like the way he looks (trust me thats ALOTTTTT) i had seen the music videos before, but the rest i hadn't seen. aand surprising watching all of the behind the scene stuff, he appeared to be like any other 18 year old boy, except we sings and is famous. i would recommend it to any jesse mccartney fan!

I loved the dvd. everything is awsome and he is soooo sexy with that hair.- (too bad he's not gay)-lol
