Amazon.co.uk Review
Perhaps the most interesting decade in her career, GHV2 is a selection of the best songs from 1992's Erotica to Music in 2000. Throughout the 1990s, Madonna was well publicised for trying her hand at anything musical together with setting new styles and standards in pop fashion. GHV2 highlights her diversity as it shifts from the "In Bed with Madonna" period with tunes such as "Erotica" and "Deeper & Deeper" to the William Orbit and Mirwais phases of her last two albums by way of the Lloyd Webber musical, Evita. Fans of Music or Ray of Light who were not Madonna fans from back in the day may find the latter half of the album less easy going as it does not possess the quirkiness of her later material nor the cheesy but highly accessible quality of older tunes as featured on the first Greatest Hits, The Immaculate Collection. Nevertheless, there is far more to Madonna than cowboys and ultra-trendy producers; each of the 15 tracks featured here are definitely the pick of her five albums from this golden period. --David Trueman

Customer Reviews

GHV2
GHV2 sums up Madonna's singles from 1992 to 2001 from Erotica, Bedtime Stories the Evita soundtrack, Ray of Light, Beautiful Stranger and Music.

What I like about the album is it's artwork and the jumbled track listing.
What I didn't like about the album is the editing of quite a lot of tracks.

However, not all the singles are here and there's no new music either but if you're a Madonna fan who's enjoyed the hits from the 1990s, then this is a good start before you venture further with the albums.

No QSound...
...But they should include "Bad Girl" and especially "Rain".

OVERALL GRADE: 9/10
It looks promising, though the editing is ghastly and som of the songs, like "Bad Girl", "Rain", "Fever", "You'll See", "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" and "This Used To Be My Playground" aren't on there though in my opinion I think they should be.

Madonna: Queen of pop
I like this greatest hits album. There might have been other songs that she did round about this time in her career but they aren't included. That is the only negative point I have to make.
Madonna sings 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina ' really really well, I am very impressed and can't fault her for that.

I really like 'Drowned World/Substitute for love ' a really touching, hauntingly beautiful song about how falling in love has changed her since she met Guy Ritchie...it's sweet and reveals a more softer side to Madonna.
