Large collection of TaTu's work, But could use a little more

Like most people, I first got interested in T.a.T.u. after their first single, "All the things she said" came out and was highly addicted to it, then "Not gonna get us" was released and I became an even bigger fan. I never purchased their CD's, but always liked their music that I've heard.

This DVD is divided into several sections:
Music Videos, Behind the Scenes, Performances, Photo Gallery, Bonus Materials, and a Play all Music Videos option.

Music Video's is a list of all their video's

* All the things she said
* All the things she said russian version (ya shola S uma)
* All the things she said remix video
* Not gonna get us
* Not gonna get us russian version (nas ne dagoniat)
* Not gonna get us remix video
* 30 minutes
* How soon is now

Overall, that sounds like a big collection of videos, but in actuality, its not much.

As far as I can tell, the original video and the russian versions (Of All the things she said and Not gonna get us) are the exact same video, only with a different audio track, so right off the bat, that's 2 less real videos.
Then the remix videos are the same video footage, run through a series of filters (Such as slow motion, Color filters, etc..) along with a remixed audio track. I didnt care for either of the 2 remix songs nor videos, and with it using the same footage, it basically brings the DVD down to 4 different music videos (1 for each song).

I really did enjoy all 4 of the videos though. The first (All the thing she said) involves the girls outside of a school in the rain, the second (Not gonna get us) has them driivng a large tanker truck through an iceland area, the 3rd (30 minutes) has them at a carnival in a dramatic video, the 4th (how soon is now) is a series of behind the scenes and live footage cut together.
The entire Music Video collection only runs for a total of 30 minutes, and is in Stereo sound.

BEHIND THE SCENES is divided into 3 parts, each running for a total of 6:30, 4:30, and 5:30 (respectively).
These are nice short little clips of behind the scenes features for a brief time, but mostly contains new interview footage (Such as "Where did your name TATU Come from?"), also in Stereo sound.

PERFORMANCES contains just 2:
* ALL THE THINGS SHE SAID: MTV Europe awards countdown show
* NOT GONNA GET US: rehearsal

All the things she said is a live performance on what loks to be a european "Total Request Live" show outdoors with a small audiance. It's a real good performance, but is obviousely lipsynched to a tape so it sounds identical to the album version. (4 minutes)

Not gonna get us shows the 2 girls as well as the band in the studio practicing the song, This also looks to be lipsynched, though. (4 minutes)

the PHOTO GALLERY is a collection of about 30 images from photoshoots, there is no "Slideshow" option, so you must use "NEXT" and "BACK" to go between them.

The BONUS FEATURES is also the 'setup' menu where you can select the subtitles (English, Spanish, Brazilian portuguese), but also has a QUESTONS AND ANSWERS Segment.
Questions on this portion include:
"What is the name of your album?" (0:26)
"Tell us some funny stories" (0:54)
"What are some of your hobbies?" (0:24)
"WHat are some of your touring plans?" (0:29)
"What is a normal day for t.a.t.u. like?" (0:45)

You can take off about 10 seconds for each segment because that time is used to have a blank screen with the question, and another 4-5 seconds of blank-screen at the end), it's a disappointment because it turns each of the questions into a short 15 second clip. Another disappointment being no "Play All" option, so you must click each question individually, then return to the menu afterwards).

Overall, It's a nice DVD, but it could have been so much better.

The total runtime on it is under an hour, and with so many long-running music DVDs being released lately, its a little bit of a letdown.
It also doesnt feature Dolby Digital sound like most others, and the video footage seems real compressed. I would have really enjoyed a longer (30 minute) documentary instead of the short clips used. I also would've really liked more Performance footage.

For the casual fan, or even hardcore fan, its still a good DVD and I recommend it fully. I just wish there was a little more in addition to what's already there.

Also of note, however, is this DVD Contains a "green and white" Poster in addition to the DVD insert. This is a 4-page foldout poster of the 2 girls together, something that was real nice to see.

Some t.A.T.u fans will be Screaming for More

a couple of days ago i received my copy of the t.A.T.u: Screaming for More dvd, i bought it on ebay by the way, you will find the best prices there if you're smart and do your research.

anyway, boy was i dissapointed with this dvd.

the very first thing i noticed was that the video quality was not that of a dvd. a tv broadcast is a lot better than what we got in this dvd.

second thing i noticed, was when i quickly fast forwarded to chaper 2, which would be "All The Things She Said +Russian Version (Ya Soshla S Uma)" the intro of the song sounded the same, but as soon as they started singing, OMG!!! i can't describe how mad i was about listening to the remastered/u.s.a version of Ya Soshla S Uma Terrible. I, like everyone else, was expecting to hear the ORIGINAL RUSSIAN version of Ya Soshla S Uma. I'm still upset about that so i have not watched Ya Soshla S Uma in its entirety. The name of the song was also misspelled and it was printed as "Ya Shola S Uma" just like the audio CDs. I don't know why.

the remix video of All The Things She Said/Ya Soshla S Uma was nothing but a very bad edited version of the original video. that i do not care for, as it looks as if was edited with Nero or some sort of Photoshop video editing software.

the 3rd thing that got me very upset was that Nas Ne Dogoniat is neither the Original Russian audio, nor the Original Russian video. I somehow knew this would be so, but i was hoping they would leave this video intact becuase of the "Parental Advisory: Explicit Content" rating this dvd release received, but no, the audio and video we got for Nas Ne Dogoniat was the version edited for US tv broadcast, funny thing is i don't remember ever seeing it on any music channel in the United States, and still this version exists. The original version of Nas Ne Dagoniat incluedes the part where there is a picture of (i think is Yulia) a naked little girl, and that should have been the only reason for this dvd to get a Mature rating, but go figure the americans.

I won't talk about the remix version of Not Gonna Get Us, as there's really not much to say about it. It's just another badly edited video of some sort of Photoshop video counterpart editing software with a audio of a remixed version of Not Gonna Get Us.

"30 Minutes" audio and video quality is badder than the rest, it deserves a 5 out of 10 in quality. the song is good though.

"How Soon Is Now" video is a copilation of "Behind the Scenes with Yulia and Lena: Part 2 and 3". very good song cover, ok video.

behind the scenes with Yulia and Lena part 1, 2, and 3 could have been just one special bonus material but they like the idea to make us think we're getting more for less. badly done and directed, but being a fan of t.A.T.u/Taty i won't complain about it.

the photo gallery incluedes very nice pictures that i'm sure everyone's already seen long before the dvd came out. good quality.

the bonus material Q&A with Yulia and Lena was a rather insipid/funny/boring interview with insipid/funny/boring questions.
i am a fan of theirs so i will not complain much about it.

subtitles were great by the way, they could at least help one understand what Yulia and Lena are saying sometimes. spanish subtitles were made for spain distributition, central/south american natives (like me) will find them to be a little awkward.

overall, i give this t.A.T.u: Screaming for More dvd release a 6 out of 10.
me being a great fan of t.A.T.u but that the real honest truth of my review.
americanized/remastered audion versions of "Ya Shoshal S Uma" and "Nas Ne Dogonyat" really upset me a lot.

the barcelona presentation was the only near to dvd quality video that was inclueded in this package. pretty good actually.

as a t.A.T.u fan i couldn't be happier, since this is pretty much the only thing to an official dvd we'll ever get. i doubt t.A.T.u is coming back (the had about 4 hits but they are still a one hit wonders).

Excellent DVD!!!!

Well first of all, i think this DVD is the best DVD ever!!! It brings a lot of things that U.S. people didnt get to see, like the "30 minutes" and the "how soon is now" videos. I love the fact that they have the english and russian version of "All the things she said" and "Not gonna get us" and also the remixes. I recommend this DVD to everyone, cuz is really good. I love this DVD, and im sure anyone that buys it is going to like it.
