Marc Anthony is my FAVORITE singer! May 21, 2000
By Marta Elena Palhano
I "ran" into this CD by accident on my regular visit to the music store. One of the only resons I actually bought it was because of track 14 - Preciosa, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, especially if you are Boricua. I've seen Marc parforming 4 times, including the Oh so famous HBO show that aired few months ago. I'm so proud of him! He is so talented ... I've been fan of his work for years and not because of this Latin boom thing, but because of the extraordinary person he is. The only bad comment about this CD is that I'm very angry at the fact that some songs were cut off before their normal end, they don't have the normal time and they don't end like that in the other CDs and I think that kind of spoils the whole song, 'cause his endings are usually one of the best parts. I still love the CD especially 'cause I've been trying to find ANY CD that would have "Preciosa" sang by Marc. I wish him all the best in his career (I'm absolutely positive it will be a LONG one) ... and congratulate him on being such a great example for the Spanish/Latin community. I LOVE YOU MARC!

A great addition to my collection..... Nov 14, 1999
As an avid fan of Marc Anthony, I was determined to get this greatest hits cd and(Eventhough I own all 3 salsa albums plus the 2 copies of the English one) so I did the very morning it was released. Of course if it were possible, it should have had many, many, many more songs than the ones on the cd because he has had so many hits, and I'm positive he'll have many more...especially with the newly released English album. But anyway, I'm also glad they included his duet with La India(Vivir lo nuestro), and his great interpretation of Rafael Hernandez'(Preciosa) because both songs are hits. What a great cd, and the pics from when he started 6 years ago till now, plus the poster make it an even better buy. I'm so proud of Marc for being the most talented salsero in the history of salsa and for making us boricuas proud. He is a great singer and is a hit in any language - proving it in his wonderful English album.....what a great album.To the "King of Salsa": I'm sure this is just the beginning of a greatest hits album because you'll have so many more in the future. A loyal fan always, te quiero Marco!

This is the one! Dec 04, 1999
By Don Quixote
And to think I came across this CD by accident! I have been a fan of Marc from day one and although I have all the CDs that contain all of these songs I still bought this one. Why? Because it contains what I consider all of his best tunes in one place. Once in my CD player this one rarely is ejected. For those of you not familiar with Marc's music - I feel sorry for you because you don't know what you are missing. If you only can afford to buy one of Marc's CDs -- this is the one! Enjoy...

Simply outstanding Aug 12, 2000
By Linda Brandon
I've listened to this CD probably forty or fifty times, even carrying it to the hospital to soothe me after major surgery. His voice transports me, and it's impossible not to love, just a little, anyone who obviously knows he has a musical gift and simply enjoys sharing it with the world. He stands head and shoulders above Ricky Martin, Enrico, et al. I'm pushing 50 (hard), and his is one of the great voices I've been privileged to listen to. His phrasing and passion, as well as his basic vocal skills (range, tone, etc.) are in a league with (dare I say it?) Sinatra. I think he is destined for a long, even more successful international career. I've bought almost all his albums now, and I speak only about three words of Spanish. (Now, if I could just find a source for his lyrics in both Spanish and English, I'd be truly delighted.) To show the depth of my admiration for him, his music has inspired me to learn Spanish. I can't say enough good things about this album. Absolutely superb.

Marco...tu cantas como un angel.... Jul 30, 2000
By D. Pawl
"Dani"
This was the first Marc Anthony CD I ever bought. Everyone I know has been urgin me to add Mr. Anthony to my collection and now I know why. I was hooked on those samples when I listened to him online and I also saw his concert on HBO. Not only does he have a wonderful stage presence but his voice combines expression with passion and strength. Every single cut is like peeling back new layers of emotion and discovering that Marc is not only serious about his music but has a real talent for making others "feel" him as well. Whether he's singing his romantic and heartfelt duets with Jennifer Lopez (No Me Amas) and India (Vivir Lo Nuestro) or singing a ballad to all about the beauty of Puerto Rico and his pride as a Boricua (Preciosa) I felt like I was in the same room with him, being honored with a glimpse into the soul of this wonderful artist. Not only can he make you feel soulful, but the crunchy, catchy and kicky salsa numbers paractically catapult you out of your seat and transfix you into the rhythm....
