Belinda's All Time Top 5 Best Movie-Related DVD's

Top 5 best music related DVD’s ~In my opinion anyway~

Some days you don’t want the high drama of a fantasy movie or a chick flick. Some days you want to sing along and have a blast; maybe even learn stuff.

I understand people have said to me in the past that my musical tastes run from the sublime to the ridiculous, with more emphasis on the ridiculous, but putting that aside, here from my own DVD collection, I give you my top 5 best music related DVD’s, in no particular order.

#5 VH1 Storytellers Meat Loaf ~ The Storytellers series is brilliant, even if you’re not so much a fan of the artist’s music. It gives insight into the writing process of songs and Meat Loaf is hilariously blunt; to the point he has a chalk board and a willow switch when pointing to the lyrics on the board. This was quite entertaining as well as educational. Though he didn’t get a great write up after his performance at the football here recently, the man can sing like an angel.

#4 Celine: Through the eyes of the world ~  I managed to see this one on the big screen when it was released. For $20 a ticket it would want to be really good. As is the norm for Celine Dion, it didn’t miss a beat and with a combination of behind the scenes footage of the Taking Chances tour, media footage and onstage performance. You feel like you are part of the audience when they are at a live concert and a part of the family when they’re in private. I had goose bumps and there were bits that had me doing the ugly cry; mainly her tour of Auschwitz. If you can fast forward through My Heart Will Go On, the rest of it is well worth your time.

#3 Metallica S&M ~ Before they sold out and went completely rubbish, Metallica combined their brand of heavy metal with classical music with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.  If your family has an impressive home theater system, this DVD is fun to play a little louder than a movie. The DVD contains 2 and a half hours of the S&M concert and a 41 minute documentary. You get a behind the scenes look at the making of S&M.

#2 The Go Go’s in Central Park ~ You haven’t lived until you have sung along with Belinda Carlisle. I’ve seen her live twice but never with the Go Go’s.
This is about as close as I’m ever going to get I reckon, and it’s a fun concert to bop along to. The disc also has 30 minutes of behind the scenes footage, which is a nice little bonus.

#1 P!nk The Funhouse Tour ~ I was in the front row for one of the Brisbane shows on this tour and the DVD is as thrilling as being there. You don’t miss a beat and her performance is the best, bar none. Between aerial high flying and the fabulous costuming, you tend to forget that there is anything else happening in the world for as long as she is onstage.  There are bonus tracks and a brilliant behind the scenes extra of the tour. I cannot wait for her to tour again.
