What else to say about this group. With great songs and the vocals to match, this is simply a great compilation of hits!
January 9, 2007Hey, if you are feenin' for the sounds of your favorite Divas without having to buy all their albums, this is definitely for you. If you are looking for a great quality production, you may want to look elsewhere. This CD kind of sounds like an audio tape, so if you've been spoiled by the latest technology and cannot stand old stuff, it's probably better to buy the original CD's.
November 11, 2006If I hear one more person say that somebody like TLC is the best girl group ever, I will hurl. They may have been the best-selling convection of recent time, but let's be real the quality of their music leaves alot to be desired. I like several of their songs, but EnVoge paved the way for TLC, DESTINY'S CHILD, SPICE GIRLS, SWV, and the PUSSYCAT DOLLS (YUCK!) The classiest funkiest group of ladies since the Labelles and Supremes! I like almost every song, but listen and let the CD just play. So it gets 5 stars. Its too bad EV didn't come out right now, they'd be the hottest thing in music industry. Sadly, the chemicals have to be 'just right' to continue torrid success in black music. The Industry is fical about who and what they decide to promote fairly in R & B. Toni Braxton was as big as Celine Dion, now she can't even get on VH1. If you like soulful fun-loving romantic sassy R & B, you will love this album. The songs they chose are choice for old fans and new ones unfamilar with the ladies of EnVogue. Unfortunately once Dawn left, the group was never the same. She needed her sisters and they definitely needed her. Their last big hit was right before she left. Like with many group dynamics money becomes an issue for one or all of them. Dawn said she had no money, split a small lottery fortune 4 ways+ production ect. you won't have any money. But that doesn't diminish their great accomplishments and great records, this is one of them. My favorites are "Whata Man, Lies, Part of Me, Giving him something he can feel, Never Gonna Git it) but theres too many to name. The only group I can even compare them to I guess is Destiny's Child, as far as quality of the time. EV was considered hip, sexy, and all had good voices. These record company execs need to take a look how to put together and promote quality artists.
February 24, 2006No matter what these ladies do later on in their careers, they will always be the FUNKY DIVAS OF SOUL!! This second "Best Of" offering is a little more comprehensive as the first only scratched the surface of their work. Included here are two of the four hits from BORN TO SING ("Don't Go" & "You Don't Have To Worry") which were omitted from the first "Greatest Hits" LP. Although I would have preferred "Just Can't Stay Away", "Too Gone, Too Long" and "Damn, I Wanna Be Your Lover" over "so-so" tracks like "Waitin' On You", "Love Don't Love You" and the "Hold On" Remix, I was still quite pleased with this offering. Hopefully one day other fan favorites like "Riddle", "Sad But True" and "Love Won't Take Me Out" (from MASTERPIECE THEATRE) will make the cut on future compilations. At any rate, anything with the "En Vogue" name attached is always worth a listen.
LOVE, PEACE & SOUL FLOWER! PASS IT ON!!

First, of all I love this group. This was one of the best Black Female group of the 90's. These women could sing very well and they were beautiful I have the best of Envogue it is a great cd.
But, this cd has a lot more Envogue songs to offer. If you liked Envogue during the 90's then you would definitely love this cd. I wish the original members would get back together and do another album .
