1.0 out of 5 stars A MONO DVD release? In 2007?, November 21, 2007

This review is from: A Very Special Christmas (DVD)

While some of these videos are great (and some decidedly mediocre), it is notable that the audio is in mono. The special olympics website about the DVD has artists' names spelled incorrectly.

While it is a worthy cause, this is NOT a great product and my suggestion is to avoid it until something better is available. Stereo tracks for all the audio is clearly available, so to release this collection in mono is baffling.

I plan to try to return my copy to Amazon, as this is clearly subpar.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not My Favorite, December 18, 2007

By 

Becky B - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Very Special Christmas (DVD)

I know this was a compilation for a charity, but it was too varied for me. My suggestion would be to do one in a mild version and one in the hip-hop, wilder version. I could not show this at my Christmas party because of the wilder nature of some of the video!! After all, it is Christmas, not Spring Break!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it for Clapton's Christmas Tears, October 1, 2008

This review is from: A Very Special Christmas (DVD)

I bought this DVD because one of my all time favorite Christmas carols is Eric Clapton's version of "Christmas Tears." Since this performance exists only on this DVD (and the CD, of course) I ordered this disc the moment I knew it was available. Watching his performance still leaves me in awe. I can't argue with the other reviewers critiques of this disc -- the sound could have and should have been better. Further, I own all of the Very Special Christmas CDs and my choice of performances would have vastly differed from those compiled on this disc, but, again, the Clapton song makes this disc worth the price. If you are a Clapton fan, buy it.
