hmmm...i think i am the only one who doesnt actually like this album...i dont like it as well as the others...

Yes, I know people who dislike MTV Unplugged. I'm one of those people who thinks, "What is there NOT to like about it?" I'm so impressed with that performance, all the way through.

Fortunately, enough people seemed to like it!

One of their best performances... and one of my fav' ... I love small stages, more intimate gigs... but sometimes it's good to see some concert ;)like Lansdowne Road too

I love this dvd-one of my favs! The girls look great-especially Caroline and I thought Andrea's performance was excellent.

Yes! It was completely brilliant. What an impressive performance on lead vocals by Andrea. She nails it. Just one example: her vocals on "Everybody Hurts". All I could say is "WOW!"

To my mind, the best "recording" of the Corrs going around. With certain degrees of validity, other studio albums have been criticised on the score of "overproduction" but in many ways I see this "Unplugged" as a "shut the XXXXXXXXs up" exercise to the critics and those who sought to put labels on them.

Here their various instrumental proficiencies were clearly on show in a number of genres. Andrea's vocals were on top form across the spectrum, as were the sisters' harmonies and "No Frontiers" was a massive eye-opener to those who had not seen them live that Sharon & Caro were far more than just 'the backing singers from heaven".

It also demonstrated just how well their music can be transposed to an orchestral setting/backing and there were a number of numbers that surprised many as to how good they sounded in an acoustic arrangement. Anto Drennan's Dobro solo in Little Wing was probably an eye-opener to many who saw him just as an anonymous sideman.
