The come-from-nowhere success of Shania Twain's previous album, The Woman in Me, proved that the world was ready for a combination of traditional instruments, girl-power themes, and dance-pop dynamics. Whether Twain is a modern-day Dolly Parton or a country music Spice Girl is a matter of perspective. But with her third album, she accentuates the sing-along choruses and simple dance rhythms while downplaying the country elements. As a pop move, it works wonderfully for her, earning Twain a valued spot on MTV, VH-1, and pop radio. The emphasis is on fun rather than depth, of course. But no one can accuse her of being stingy: she and her Svengali-like producer/husband, slick-rock king Robert "Mutt" Lange (Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, AC/DC), load down the album with 16 songs, all of them quite radio-friendly. --Michael McCall

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) Country gone bad. [Rating: 1 out of 5]
Come On Over by Shania Twain sold millions and millions of albums but I despise this cd with a passion. Shania is one of the worst singer-songwriters I have ever heard, especially in the genre of country/pop. Her voice is completely unoriginal, there's no fire, range, or accessiblility. I can't believe how truly awful her songwriting is! Terrible cliches, junior high filled lyrics and child-like melodies. Songs like That Don't Impress Me Much, Man I Feel Like a Woman!, Don't Be Stupid, and You're Still the One just gives me the willies. The only two tracks that have any emotion in them are From This Moment On and You've Got a Way. Come on Over is a horrible and silliest record of the '90s. Stay clear from this over-rated mess!2) Shania Twain - Come on Over [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Mutt Lange is 16 years older than Shania. He remembered the golden era of rock and the great songs of Elvis and The Beatles. He and Shania penned 16 gems for Come On Over in grand tradition. Come On Over was released in November, 1997. It went on to become the biggest selling album of all time by a female artist, selling 39 million copies. It dominated the airwaves through 1998 and 1999. Come On Over was #1 on the country album charts for over a year. This was unheard of. You're Still The One was Song of the Year. Single after single went number one: Love Gets Me Everytime, Don't Be Stupid, Honey I'm Home, That Don't Impress Me Much, Man! I Feel Like A Woman! Girls around the country sang Shania songs nightly in karaoke bars. 1998 was to Shania what 1956 was to Elvis and 1964 was to The Beatles.3) Best-seller! GREAT! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This album is and will forever be my favorite album in music. Period. Shania Twain has got the sweetest voice, this album proves her eternal talent as a singer and a songwriter. She released 11 singles from that album which is never before seen for any other album in history. It broke records such as: - Best-selling album by a female artist, - Best-selling album of the '90s and Best-selling country music album...Hats off to Shania Twain and Come On Over!4) Country/Pop Smash [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Shania's third album, Come On Over, is a country/pop giant. It is loaded with great songs that Shania sings with energy and feeling. There's a reason this sold a bazillion copies - it's awesome. If you don't have it for some dumb reason, or just haven't gotten around to it, correct that mistake soon and get this.5) This album rocks! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
It totally does--with a country twang. I've had it for a long time and I still listen to it all the time. And all the songs are at least 3 stars, see?1. Man! I Feel Like A Woman! *****2.
