CD Reviews
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??)"
If you like Annie then you will love this

"What can i say this is one of the best karaoke CD's that i have heard. My daughter loves it and so will anyone who loves Annie. Not only do you get the karaoke versions of all the songs but also you get it sung for you by wonderful singers who do it to perfection so you get twice the music on one cd EXCELLENT."
Excellent for musical reviews!

"I am the director/choreographer of a musical review for small children and this CD is excellent to work with! It gives the children a chance to sing without the backup vocals of a regular CD and to have more background music than just the piano. It was extremely helpfull!"
Excellent for my daughter!

"My daughter is such a young singer in the making. She loves Annie. We have both singing lesson CD volumes of
Voice Lessons To Go by Vaccarino
which she doeas a few times a week after school. (I do them too) And then she sings through this whole CD with her friends. (Don't think I haven't tried it once or twice with mine)."
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!"
