Disney's Princess Sing-Along Album
Rarely has an album surfaced with this much raw ability to repel dads, pesky little brothers, and teens with reputations to protect. Then again, rarely will gift-giving grownups find a CD better suited to 3- to 8-year-old divas in the making. Princesses presents 10 melodramatic movie-derived favorites, from as far back as 1948's Cinderella to modern-day hits like Mulan, performed by a handful of lovely sounding if barely distinguishable studio artists; the singing along part is supposed to take place during an instrumental version of each track that directly follows the vocal rendering. Thus, packs of pretend Pocahontases, Belles, and Ariels secure the spotlight for karaoke-style belt-outs of "Colors of the Wind," "Beauty and the Beast," and "Part of Your World." A fit-for-a-princess purple and pink liner note leaflet unravels to present printed lyrics. --Tammy La Gorce

Disney's Princess Sing-Along Album Reviews
This CD is only for singing-along with, as the the title of it says. Take a look at the $8 price tag. So that means that some beloved songs aren't on this album. So some memorable Disney Prince & Princess duets aren't on here, but those kinds of songs aren't easy to sing along with anyway. Before I start reviewing this album, I want to clarify a few things:.
If you want a sing-along CD that contains instrumental tracks that retain their original arrangement, then buy this CD and skip over some of the others out there. If you want a CD that can be used on a karaoke machine, find another one. In my opinion, all these particular 10 tracks were chosen to be on the CD as to be the easiest to sing solo to. 1) This is NOT a karaoke CD. As other reviewers have pointed out, this CD doesn't retain the original vocals. It will NOT work in your karaoke machine. If you want a CD because you want the original princess vocals, find another one. 2) The original singers do NOT sing in the songs.
This CD has more tracks than the others and less filler tracks. A CD with the actual singers will cost more, don't buy this CD as a cheap way to just own these songs without buying a more expensive CD, because you won't get what you're looking for. There are 20 tracks, 10 with vocals, 10 without. I know of at least two other Princess instrumental CDs out there, and this one is my favorite. I gave this CD a 5 because it's good for what it is. If someone is looking for a complete princess instrumental collection, I would suggest buying more than just one karaoke CD. Most karaoke CDs do not use the original voices if they do have vocal tracks, so that's something to keep in mind when looking at these kind of CDs. It doesn't claim to be anything else.
3) No, this CD doesn't have an exhaustive list of Princess songs. The real purpose of this album is the instrumental tracks, but if that's not what you want, then maybe you should reconsider buying this CD. That being said, I really enjoy this CD. The singers who do sing the songs (Leslie French, Robin Huston, Amy Baker Stinson, Chris Martin, Meredith Robertson, Meredith McCall, Joe York, Rebecca Schoolar, & Laura Benedict - whoever they are) don't sound terrible, but they certainly won't ever replace the original singers. These vocals tracks are just on the CD so you'll know how the song is supposed to sound. This collection does include Candle on the Water from Pete's Dragon for whatever reason, but the other songs are exactly something I'd expect from a Disney Princess CD.
First the songs are sung, then the music-like in karaoke as you read the words on cd cover-alone plays next for your "little singer" to sing along. The only drawback is that the "original singers" from the movies or sing along dvds are not singing in this album, or, at least most of them. The track list has all the favorites of the Princess songs.
As a big Disney Princess fan, I'm rather upset that for this CD, the vocal versions of the tracks are NOT performed by the original voice actresses who played each Princess. It's almost like buying a karaoke CD with tracks of people singing along to the karaoke provided. Either include the original vocals for the song, or don't include them at all, Disney.
There are 10 Princess songs and instrument in this album.I felt that the instrument is perfect, Sometimes I can do some sing-along, and I love singing. I don't like the vocals in this album, Because I love the original Princesses' vocals.I think that I bought it only because it's Disney's.
I bought this for my newly minted princess groupie without having a knowledge of all of the movies. GREAT SONGS and my daughter LOVES them but I would have preferred that it included a song from Snow White and Jasmine who are pictured on the cover rather than a song from Hercules and a song from Pete's Dragon. (I feel like a victim of false avertising). Of 10 tracks, only 8 are from Disney princesses (only 5 if you don't count Mulan and Pocahontas as princesses as I'm told Disney doesn't always count them). I mistakenly believed from the title and the picture on the CD that ALL of the music was from Disney princess movies.
