Description:

Although she's been doing Latin pop since Jennifer Lopez was in junior high, Gloria Estefan has progressed little, as evidenced from the derivative dance and disco retreads on Greatest Hits Vol. II. Apart from a few true gems like "Reach" and "Heaven's What I Feel," the album is a boring mix of covers ("Turn the Beat Around" and "Everlasting Love") and original tracks that blend into one another--all Cuban rhythm and banal lost-love lyrics. Gloria has a one-of-a-kind voice and great style--she's a surefire talent--and her music is still fabulous in her native language (check out Mi Tierra or Abriendo Puertas). But if you're looking for a real sampler of her greatest hits, the first volume, released in 1992, is still the way to go. --Courtney Kemp

5GLORIA'S 90'S MATURE ERA AND DANCE! DANCE! DANCE!  Apr 15, 2006
Gloria's second Greatest Hits it's a smooth move to this Cuban chanteuse, that approach the 90's in a mature secure way. The record starts with "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" tracks, "Turn The Beat Around" it's a club anthem, a mayhem of beats, a true dance gem, usually remakes don;t work but this one did. "Everlasting Love" This classic uplifting track is just pure pop delight. "Reach" is a simple pop-folk tune, a true anthem to raise the spirit. "I'm Not Giving You Up", heartbreaking, with dramatic club house beats..the line where Gloria sings "we'll find a way to be together, however long takes wherever..." wow, just amazing. "You'll Bi Mine" party Gloria!, just happy song! latino rhythms, "Heaven's What I Feel" love club song, how do you supposed to not dance to this, "Oye" strong funky latin club beats, one of Gloria's best!, "Music Of My Heart" joined by Nsync, pretty adult contemporary songs, a-la-Dion, "Out Of Nowhere" new latin-beats of miami club, speedy and flaky, "I Got No Love" mature and heartfelt, "Y Tu Conga" new remake of Conga and some extra samples of Dr Beat. "If We Were Lovers" and english version of "Con Los Anios Que Me Quedan", very dramatic. Overall Greatest Hits Vol. II shows Gloria's Great Repertuar of the 90's and her conviction of making latin-club music for the mainstream audience, a great artist.

1Shallow sequel  Oct 26, 2005
Homely Estefan is a weak vocalist with no talent to speak of. She can't dance, she can't sing well, and she's nothing to look at. She and J-Lo are the worst examples of modern "superstars". They both get by on the flimsiest of talent. In J-Lo's case, it's her artifically pumped up rear end. Anyway, here we have a bunch of vacuous non-songs, even worse than the first volume. At least that had one decent tune, "Words Get in the Way". This doesn't even have that many good songs. And what's this retread of "Conga" doing here? Yuck! It was bad enough in the original version. My true rating: ZERO STARS.

2it's ok - but thin  Sep 07, 2005
sorry, i just find this album to be a bit of a raw deal
gloria's classic tracks are all those '80s faves - dr beat, rhythm is gonna... all on her first gr8est hits. this one has nothing much on it, the songs are good enough, but the album material overall just doesn't seem to add up to much value somehow. saying that, her album tracks generally i love.

I think the best of gloria since the '80s is all in her cuban music, that is brilliant, tracks like mi voy, mas allas, regress a mi, la pretendo, renacer, si voy a perdete, la paranda, etc, to me, that is true-gloria.

3Not her best "Best of"  Jan 29, 2005
For those who want dance/party mixes, get this album. While Reach is inspiring, this album is filled with a LOT of remixes that may work for a dance party, but don't do much while listening at home or in a car.
