I have been a fan of Toni's since she came on the scene. I didn't even know of this DVD until I heard it being advertised on the radio. For a Christmas present I asked a family member to get this for me but since she already had purchased my gift it was too late. Since I didn't have any plans for New Year's Eve (sad huh) I went to Best Buy. On a whim I purchased a DVD player and Toni's DVD. I took it home and enjoyed spending New Year's Eve with Ms Braxton..lol. I like the fact that ALL of her videos are on this compilation and not just the record companies favorites. It was nice to see her evolve over the year's (through video) into the Superstar she is today. If you like Toni you will LOVE the DVD, she even talks about each video, how it was made and what it meant to her.

Arista should be commended for the thoroughness of their DVD video anthologies (first Whitney Houston, now Toni Braxton). Both DVDs offer all of the standard videos plus a variety of extras. The end result is that FROM TONI WITH LOVE serves as an ultimate Greatest Hits collection. For more casual listeners who just want one Toni item in their collection, just hit "play all" and you get all of the standard hit versions. Yet fans can dig into the menus and find alternate versions (e.g., remixes) and interviews. What more can you ask of a DVD than that it intends to please everybody--and succeeds! And if you just want to hear the audio, you've got the ability to turn the television off and listen to the hits--all remixed into impressive 5.1 sound.

This is the best any video collection can get, it includes ALL the videos, not just selected ones! I'm a Toni Braxton fan, and watching every good video back 2 back was very enjoyable. Toni's videos didn't really start to get sexy until "You Mean The World To Me", before then she looked like a dork, with the modest teacher ansemble and short hair. Sorry, Toni. My favorite videos are the hilarious "You're Making Me High" and the girls-kick-butt videos "He Wasn't Man Enough" and "Just Be A Man About It", with a cameo by Dr. Dre who played the lowlife you was cheating on her. Toni's video techniques remind me of Madonna's in which you can be sexy yet still be feminist and portray an important message at the same time. I've noticed most of her videos featured some sort of "hunk", some of them are cute and some of them are just plain ugly. I could totally relate to the video for "How Could An Angel Break My Heart" because it shows how blondes are always stealing your dream guys away from us darker woman. She looked too skinny in "I Don't Want To." I don't how she could of physically possibly lost any more weight because she was never fat to begin with. Bottom line: This is an awesome video collection and the most complete you can get so far, until of course, Toni B releases her next video.

Since the invention of Music Video, followed by VHS collections, followed by DVD collections, so Many Music Video Collections are, well, dissapointing. There are collections that offer a decent amount of Videos, there are few that measure up, and a rare bunch that go beyond. This goes well beyond. A look at the back of the DVD, is pretty impressive, every video Toni's made (well- almost- read on) It offers a promise of some extras, and truth be told, you get them.

Besides the basics, it offers both the English AND Spanish versions of UnBreak My Heart and Breathe Again (as well as the European Version) It offers Intos by Toni to each video, along with Commentary, Album Promos, even EPK promos, and some Live Performances, but I was most impressed by the Remix Videos- I never knew some of these existed! From You're Makin Me High, to UnBreak My Heart, and Spanish Guitar!- It even offers the never see "Let it Flow" video, and a Peak at the Never-Released-Because-It-Was-Too-Racy video for "Maybe", and a little peak at her ultra sound for her first son. Strangely though, it didn't even mention the original concept for "I Don't Want To"- featuring Toni in the Bathroom (Beauty Routine, nothing toilet related)- which was actually filmed- But other than that, it was pretty unbelievable to behold- Simply the Best Video Collection from any artist!

I Like more of Her Dance Material&stuff from her Earlier Albums.it's Hit&Miss.but the Added Bonus is the Fine Aspect of Her.TOni is Never Badd for the Eyes.I think She has a Good Voice but the Slow Stuff since Her 2nd Album is too Predictable to Me.I'd Like to Hear Her do More Dance Stuff I think She has a Donna Summer run in Her.She has Versatility in Her WOrk but things don't always get Showcased Properly to Me.this is a Cool Set.

This is a great DVD packed with videos of Toni's greatest hits through the nineties and up to today. The quality of the videos blew me away, really sharp and clear picture. The bonus section is my favorite part of the DVD with alternate versions of some of her music videos. My favourite alternate videos are "You're Making Me High" (Morales Classic Mix), "Un-break My Heart" (Soul Hex Anthem Mix) and "Spanish Guitar" (Royal Garden's Flamenco Mix). These versions rock! There is only one thing I think is weird - "He Wasn't Man Enough" is listed as an alternate version on the cover but instead what we see is a "behind the scenes"-documentary, and don't get me wrong here, it's not bad, but I hoped for a remix video using either the Club 69 remix (The one being played in the intro of the DVD) or the Junior Vasquez remix. Nonetheless, nearly perfect - all fans of Toni Braxton will love this DVD.

This is a great dvd.its Toni's past and present on one disc.her sultry voice and stunning beauty makes it all worth while.It's got all tracks including aternate and remix videos, plus audio commentary by her and pictures too.There is so much on this dvd to explain.plus the quality on the videos will meke your tv screens blow up from all the different tones and colors.Anyways all i gotta say is that its worth it cause it the best dvd by and artist madonna is now second.

Toni braxton sends us her love with her dvd video collection.We all know for Fact that Toni is a great singer but this dvd proves that she is a great looking woman with personality and definetely style!
This is a very enjoyable dvd even if you aren't a true Toni fan and is just great to own for it's the masterpiece of a diva that will be shining effervescently eternally for years and years to come !

If u love toni u will freak over this dvd, mainly because it offers more than enough, tons of unreleased material.... all of her videos up to her 2000 effort "the heat". I was epecially moved by the unreleased video for "Let It Flow". Toni even has behind the scenes footage and performances on there. You'll be blown away I promise. Remixes/promotional commercials,rare stuff u won't find any where else. the dvd is JAM packed with so much you just have to buy it, its well worth it. I was shocked at how much this dvd had to offer and you will be too.
