5.0 out of 5 stars I simply love her, January 8, 2000

By	Jeremy Mathiou (France-USA) - See all my reviews

I know that I am not really objective because I am French and I have been loving Vanessa for more than ten years now. I also must admit that a lot of people criticize her. But I don't give a damn! This album is beautiful. I was at the concert when it was recorded and the feeling was extraordinary! I simply love her. So buy it because even if you are not a fan, even if it will take you a while to get into it, you are not going to be disappointed. Vanessa, I love you, and if one day you get to read this, send me a little e-mail because you are the best. Go on like that!

5.0 out of 5 stars A rather pleasant surprise, March 23, 2000

By	Miguel Cane "Writer, Journalist, Film Critic" (Mexico City, Mexico) - See all my reviews

Of course I'd heard about Ms. Paradis (a/k/a Mrs Depp) long ago: how she'd become teenage superstar in the late 80s, and I'd seen the world-famous Chanel ad. But nothing quite prepared me for the surprise of hearing her sing live.

This CD is very good, solid and rythmic. Her renderings of Lou Reed's "Waiting for the man", Marianne Faithfull's "As Tears go By" (as penned by the Stones) and her biggest hits "Joe Le Taxi" and "Be my Baby" (a retro tune if there ever was one and super catchy!)are tuneful and well-arranged.

All in all this is an entertaining live recording that reveals that the talents of Vanessa Paradis are quite many and she is rather good at her craft. Most decidedly not Tori Amos or Björk, but much better than many others. Her charisma oozes from the songs and this CD gets more than a dozen spins once started!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming intoxicating live performance from Supermodel, July 1, 1998

By	Willem ([e-mail]) (Pretoria, South Africa) - See all my reviews

Vanessa Paradis has shown that she is not only a model, but also possesses a sweet voice which can charm and woo any listener. On this CD of live songs she performs all her greatest hits from her previous three albums. The second song, Les Cactus which is a well known tune in France will surprise many Americans with it's fresh sound. She runs through vocal performances with the greatest of ease and the overall sound on the album is surprisingly good considering it is a live recording. She delights with As tears go by, a cover of the Rolling Stones song. Also included is some of the great successes she had with Lenny Kravitz. Any Lenny Kravitz fan will do well to buy this album. Songs like Be me Baby and Sunday Mondays which were huge hits all over the world are done with great enthusiasm and the listener sits enthralled as she glides through the songs with her haunting voice. Some other big hits included on the album are Tandem, Natural High, I'm waiting for that man and Joe le Taxi. I can recommend this album for anyone looking for something fresh and different. This is an album that will make you fall in love with the artist.
