It's safe to assume that every kid in the United States--outside of those raised among fringe groups--grew up harboring fantasies of shoving aside the animated star of the latest hit Disney film and inhabiting the character's cartoon shoes him- or herself, at least until the end credits rolled. Such an assumption is not lost on the clever folks at Disney, who've launched the Disney Karaoke series, consisting of favorites from the company's perennially popular movies, first sung in apple-pure, completely unironic Disney style and then presented instrumentally, giving closet crooners a chance to show their stuff. Highlights on the first volume include 10 songs from 10 films, including "Just Around the Riverbend" (from Pocahantas), "Reflection" (from Mulan), and "A Whole New World" (from The Little Mermaid) as well as the feel-good "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" (from Song of the South), the infectious and entirely irresistible "Hakuna Matata" (from The Lion King), and the sentiment-stirring classic "When You Wish Upon a Star" (from Pinnochio). Even without the karaoke concept this CD would make lots of can't-miss lists; the song selection alone adds up to pure fun. Even so, Disney, not wishing to disappoint karaoke die-hards, has thoughtfully included complete lyrics in the liner notes. So no excuses for missteps and no more feeling silly--The Jungle Book's "I Wanna Be Like You" actually does include the phrase "Oh, Oobee doo--I wanna be like you." --Tammy La Gorce ... Read more

Very Disappointed
I expected more from Disney I guess they are learning and now are doing better with what they have put out. But do not waste your money on it. Look for a more recent one which has lyrics as well as graphics. The songs on it aren't all that - I bought if for my daughter and even the music sounds a bit off when it goes without words. Really - save your money on this one! :0(

Great for Road Trips
Most of my college friends have moved off to different cities, and it's quite a haul to visit them. Music in the car is nice, but I always get the urge to sing! That's why I enjoy this CD so much. First we are treated to somewhat simplified arrangements of ten great songs, ranging from classics like "Once Upon a Dream" to more current songs like "Reflections" from Mulan. Each is performed by an artist who does an excellent job of enunciating to help the budding singer hear the words and where they go (the lyrics in the booklet help too!). The next ten tracks are the same songs, but without the lead vocals. Simple, elegant, fun.

Which leads to the two caveats: 1.) The "20 Tracks" label shouldn't be confused with 20 songs and 2.) There are no special lyrics/pictures/etc. encoded on the disc. Several other reviewers have groused on point two, but I see it as being like enhanced CD's: Sure the extras are neat, but I buy it for the music.

Nice to listen to; Hard to sing - for "Advanced" Karaokists
This CD contains 10 Disney songs, (each sung, apparently, by different vocalists than the originals)followed by an instrumental of each track for karaoke. The songs are a mix of old and new school (from Song of the South, Pinocchio, Sleeping Beauty to Lion King, Little Mermaid and Pocahantas).

The production certainly sounds professional and I probably wouldn't have known the vocals weren't the originals on the songs I didn't know. The problem isn't with the production or even the song selection, but rather the degree of difficulty. These are not the easiest songs to sing which I think would make this prohibitive for most kids, as well as adults who have trouble enough screeching their way through "My Girl" and "Born to Be Wild".

It should also be noted that the lyrics do not display on your screen, but are included in the booklet.
Recommended for hardcore Disney buffs and "advanced" karaokiers.

Great fun for long car trips!
I love to sing, especially when I am by myself on a long car trip. Singing along with these songs (that I know by heart!) make the trip fun and go by fast. I have read reviews that said the people were upset because it was not a CD with graphics, but no where does it say that graphics are included. I never once thought they would be on there. I own Vol. 1 and 2 and love them! If you want to have fun singing along, this is a great purchase.

Disappointed
You would think that Disney would provide the highest quality product. Think again. I purchased Disney Karaoke Discs 1-4 at Disneyland, thinking I would get "the real thing." Well, their vocal demonstration tracks were NOT taken from the movies but were sung by others (i.e. they had the well-known songs re-recorded by people we've never heard of, poor imitations of the original tracks), AND the words are only printed on an inside liner, not embedded in the discs. In other words, these are just song and music discs with no graphics at all. You can play them in a karaoke machine and you might as well be playing them in a regular CD player. If you plan on singing these songs, either memorize the words or carry the cumbersome songbook wherever you go. Not worth it. ... Read more

phantom karaoke
it's great! the vocals are quite if you need to have some guidance when you need it but don't want to hear the other voice, and the music is great, and it seems to be in a better key for those of us who can't sing so high only dogs can hear us! lol. but i must say, some songs are kinda sl o w, espacially "music of the night"! it takes for ever, not to mention what a long song it is. and also in "angel of music" it stops after the part with meg is over, so it's a duet, (there is no phantom or raoul) and the same with "all i ask of you" the phantom part is gone... zippo. and it stops after "past the point of no return"... but that makes sense. i would TOTALLY recommend buying this karaoke cdg! it is totally great! ...

Perfect for Little Girls
I ordered this Karaoke CD for my 9 year old daughter. She
loves singing the songs from some of her favorite Disney movies.
This is the perfect CD for any little girl who loves to sing, and perfect for any Mom who is sick of hearing the same old Karaoke CD's with Britney Spears "Oops I did it Again".
When I ordered the CD I took a chance because there was no information on the song selection. It's perfect for both my 9yr old and my 3yr old who also loves to sing along with her big sister.
The CD selection are; 1-Just Around the Riverbend 2-Part of Your World 3-Beauty and the Beast 4-Colors of the Wind 5-Reflection 6-He's a Tramp 7-A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes 8-Part of the Heart of the Sky. The first 8 songs are the instrumental versions followed by 8 vocal versions of the same songs.

Disney quiet-oke!
My daughter will not use the CD. It's pretty boring for a 6 year old. It's pretty poor choice of music. Maybe it will work out better for older girls?! ... Read more

Disney Karaoke Vol.2 [KARAOKE]
Quite disappointed that there are no screen lyrics available. Although some say karaoke is merely singing the lyrics to the instrumental version of the song, modern day tapes and cd's *do* include the "CDG". Disney seems to fall behind the times. You're better off with a sing-along video -- at least then the kids might learn to read (or at least recognize words). My 4 & 2 year olds wouldn't know what to do with just the instrumental version, of 'true' karaoke. I do prefer vol2 over vol1 or vol3.

Awesome
This CD has been given low marks because it's not a CD+G. That is mainly because it is not understood that once upon a time,
before CD's, karaoke was done on audio cassettes. Audio Cassettes did not have lyrics. People had to read off a sheet. People had to learn a song well. People still had fun. The same formula works on CD!

If you've ever bought any other karaoke CD's (esp. at this price range), most of the vocalists are mediocre at best, and the instrumentation ranges from barely acceptable to absolutely horrible MIDI Music.

Contrast this with the beautiful instrumentations and excellent guide vocalists on this CD and you have yourself a 5 star CD at about 1/3 the price and rivalling if not exceeding the quality of the top Quality Karaoke Brands.

The only minor irritant is that on the instrumental tracks, the melody line is played by an instrument (vs. normal karaoke where the melody line is left to the singer only). Minus 1 star for that.

So if you can't handle reading off a lyric's sheet and learning how to really sing the song, then this CD is not for you. But, If you are looking for top notch, well produced Disney Karaoke then you should definitely check out this CD.

Terrible disapointment
I opend the CD filled with joy till it started; at the beginning I thought there should be some kind of mistake but no, there were no letters. Not even one word, we couldn't sing at all; we just had the letters printed in very tiny letters but no guide to sing.

This is NOT Karaoke
This is not true Karaoke--there are no onscreen graphics to accompany the songs. There are 10 songs with and without words. The songs with lyrics are not even by the original artists. They sound awful sung by some unknown singers. This is the biggest Disney rip-off yet.

Karaoke VS. CD+G
CD+G means TV lyrics, Karaoke means music without words..

My daughter is singing all the time now
She begged us for it, we bought it home. And our daughter was singing all the time. All of a sudden she wanted voice lessons. (They are a bit pricey for us with 3 kids) so we bought her some singing lessons on cd- brilliant idea (Voice Lessons To Go by Vaccarino). Now she has picked up my son's guitar and is making up simple songs. We are all ready preparing for the many Karaoke Cds we will be purchasing for Christmas!

I like it!!!
I think This cd is ok. Some of the songs are old and after you listen to it once you get tired of it i know cause i bought the lizzie mcguire movie soundtrack and i barely listen to it

Cooly!
Tracks from the Lizzie McGuire Movie.
Complete with lyric booklet.
Apparently great on CD-G, but if, like me, you don't have that, you can play on normal CD player!
As Lizzie would say, coolie!

A MUST FOR LIZZIE LOVERS
My daughter is a huge Lizzie Fan and it is perfect she is able to sing with a singer or on her own. Has all of the hits from the popular movie and also has the TV show theme. It's really nice especially for a girl party. Any girl who is a Lizzie fan will love this because it's easy to get into and just at the right speed. Cute photos between takes too :0) Sure to be a hit this year. ... Read more

good sing-a-long disk
I read the last negative review and had to respond. This product is not meant to sound like the movie - so I don't understand his criticism. It's meant to sound like the broadway show. Karaoke albums are for singing with, not for listening to. If the later is what you want, just get the cast album, but for kids to perform with in front of their friends and family -- this album does exactly what it's supposed to!

works for me
This karaoke CD seemed better than some of the others I listened to. I think that other reviewer has to understand that karaoke CD's aren't supposed to be identical to the original soundtracks or productions -- they're more for singing than for sitting and listening to, but if you want to hear yourself without the vocalists, this is the format you should go with. The background music actually was better than I expected from a karaoke cd.

Beware of this Annie
BEWARE. This CD does not sound like the 1999 TV film soundtrack. For the granddaughter who knows the TV film, this CD would be very disappointing. Hard Knock Life tempo is slow. This grandpa has learned to be very careful of the karaoke CD's. Keyword here - Broadway.

This is the very worst CD I've ever purchased
We are so dissapointed with this CD. It sounds a lot like the kids do when they are playing in the yard...loud and off key. What a bummer to have paid so much for it!

great CD, a sound investment!
I have this CD and I think its great for those wanting to sing along or even for those who just love Annie and want to hear a great recording. The songs are all in their original keys, don't know what that other reviewer was talking about. The soloists (annie is great) are as professional as I have heard on any CD and that includes Broadway. The ensemble is a little weak, however. But any kid or adult would love this CD. Great gift for any annie enthusiast (and what little girl doesn't love annie??) ... Read more

Shame on Me!!!
Didn't read the reviews. Shame on me. Shame on Disney. This is nothing more than a CD - there are many fine Disney CD's to pick from. Stock must be really hurting that they have to bite the hand that feeds them.

Good CD - for what it is!
Yes, I've read some of the other reviews, and no, it's not "really" a karaoke CD,but for a Disney sing-along - this is great. Young and old will enjoy singing with this CD and the words are given in the liner. Get it and enjoy it!

Useful info in buying Karaoke CD's
I host a Karaoke show in Nashville. I have never bought Disney Karaoke CD's. However, I will offer you one tip. A lot of people are mislead by "Karaoke Cd". Always read on the disc and make sure it says CD+G on it. I bought some Chartbuster Karaoke CD's that were on clearance for 2.99 each. I thought I had a deal. It was just that-a CD and not a CD+G (Compact disc + graphics). Fortunatly, they took them back and refunded my money. Karaoke CD's are usually just background music.

disney karaoke
I am very upset - I bought all three and no onscreen lyrics - why would I buy a karaoke cd without them? I feel that I just wasted 41 dollars.

Disappointed
