5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is Great!!, October 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: American Idol Audition Book (Paperback)

I initially bought this book for my 11 year old daughter. She's such a fan of the TV show and as soon as she heard about the book, she wanted it immediately! I bought the book for her birthday and our family hasn't put it down since it arrived!

The book has something for everyone. My husband loves the song by Lonestar, I love the Mariah Carey song, my daughter loves the Christina Aguilera songs, and we all love trying to sing "If I Were a Rich Man" from Fiddler on the Roof!! We sat home an entire weekend signing all the songs!

This book is a definite must for anyone who is ready to step out of the shower and onto the stage. I can't remember the last time my family had so much fun together!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: American Idol Audition Book (Paperback)

I am a very big fan of AI, but this was one of the bad items. I mean if you really like the songs just buy a Karoke CD. The only thing I liked that you have the lyrics with the notes (unlike Karoke) and the sheet music so you can play on a piano.

I thought this book gave the secrets to get you in, but I could have written the pointers they gave and some of the suggested songs in the book are not really ideal songs to sing acapella. I wouldn't recommend it.
