Think Quality, not Quantity

"It's great that Daniela Romo finally has a DVD! EMI has really justified themselves for at least releasing this, despite the fact that she is pretty much ignored now. She recently re-signed to EMI, so perhaps more material, i.e. DVD's, album reissues..will be released?

As mentioned, this DVD includes 10 videos, primarily those of her early days (and I am not complaining). These are

01. Mentiras (a performance clip, a great introduction to Daniela Romo)
02. Celos (featuring Miguel Bose as her boyfriend and Fresas Con Crema)
03. Yo No Te Pido La Luna (which includes choreographed dancers)
04. Dueña De Mi Corazon (in which she looks ultra hot!)
05. Prometes (Daniela sings the chorus with muppets...:)
06. De Mi Enamorate (features many clips from her novela "El Camino Secreto")
07. Es Mejor Perdonar (crazy concept, irrelevant to the song, but it's obvious she had more $$ for a budget)
08. Gitana (now we see where the money goes, features a small behind the scenes in the beginning, where we see Daniela doing her own make-up, I guess EMI can't afford a hair and makeup person?)
09. Quiero Amanecer Con Alguien (very sultry, totally appropriate for the hunger-driven theme that is this song)
10. Explorame (the best video here, very sexy shoot with Alfredo Adame and Daniela bares her soul and her chest!)

the last video is titled "Version 2", I'm assuming there was a first edition? perhaps more nudity?

They are all low-budget masterpieces, giving us a glimpse at Daniela's performing side. From "Mentiras" to "Explorame", we see Daniela evolve in style and technique (well, all except her never changing long hair). Even if it's only 10 videos, it is still great that something is available to the public. Isn't something better than nothing?

The US version does not include all 18 videos on the original DVD issue in Mexico. I was lucky enough to obtain it. If you need one, I can help you out."
