Product Review
'Hitman Returns' was filmed before a sold out crowd last year at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The lineup of talent, lead by Foster as maestro of ceremonies, includes performances by Seal, Donna Summer, Martina McBride, Earth, Wind & Fire, Natalie Cole, Ruben Studdard, All-4-One,'Glee' star Charice, Chaka Khan, Jackie Evancho, Lara Fabian and other artists whose careers have been touched by Foster, a 15-time Grammy winning producer and songwriter.
The first David Foster & Friends Hitman Show on PBS was one of the highest rated pledge shows of the last decade and was viewed by millions of fans. 'This turned out to be one incredible show. I was thrilled to be able to get some of my very favorites on this go round who weren't free last time out, including Earth, Wind & Fire and Chaka Khan. There were so many magic moments that night. I'm especially proud of the terrific combinations of talent including a medley with Chaka, Seal and Michael Bolton, a breathtaking duet with Natalie Cole and Ruben Studdard and a standout performance by Charice, Ne-Yo and Robert Randolph. And of course, accompanying the great Donna Summer on keyboards for 'Last Dance' brought me right back into the studio when we first recorded the song,' commented Foster about the show.
David Foster's four decade career includes writing and producing with a who's-who in music including Whitney Houston, Barbra Streisand, Michael Buble', Josh Groban, Jennifer Holiday, Natalie Cole, Kenny Loggins, Madonna, Michael Jackson, George Harrison, Diana Ross, Sonny & Cher, Rod Stewart and scores of others. The Hitman also discovered, signed and produced Michael Buble' and Josh Groban, whose CDs have sold well over 20 million copies apiece. He is currently producing 'America's Got Talent' runner up - 10 year old Jackie Evancho, as well as writing a Broadway musical about Betty Boop. The success of the Foster & Friends franchise also includes sold out tours around the world.

This review is from: Hit Man Returns: David Foster & Friends (CD/DVD) (Audio CD)
This is a 2-disc collection of some of today's and yesterday's best artists. The DVD gives you the whole concert which was held at Mandalay Bay Resort Casino in 2010, including a 12-minute behind the scenes video, while the CD is a shortened 11 song selection from the video.
David Foster was introduced to the crowd by 2 Olympian skaters, Kristi Yamaguchi and Brian Boitano, both of whom have skated and performed to David Foster's music back when they were actively competing.
Kenny Loggins started the program with a couple of songs, he sang "Heart to Heart" and "Forever". He was followed by Gary Wright, one of those artists that I have never seen before, but certainly heard before. "Dreamweaver" was beautiful.
Chaka Khan's first appearance was her signature "Through the Fire". It was nostalgic.
When "All-4-One" took the stage, I said wow! How they changed. Still, they sang 2 of their chart toppers "I Can Love You Like That" and "I Swear",...Read more

I was highly entertained with David Foster's previous "Hitman" production. In "Hitman Returns," he provides us with another opportunity to marvel at his genius. With a wide variety of musicians and songs (although not all of the songs performed are Foster's), I am more impressed with this program than the last. My only complaint is that the CD only includes a minimal amount of music performed on the DVD.
