This review is from: Barbie as "Princess and the Pauper" Pauper Erika (Toy)

We went through some trial and error trying to get the two dolls to sing a duet in unison. Every time we followed the instructions it seemed that the Annaliese doll was off-beat by a second or two. Here's what we did to rectify this (don't follow the manufacturer's instructions!) (1) press the sound button until both dolls are on the same song ("You're just like me") then start the Annaliese doll first and the Erika doll a second or two later. This should get them singing in sync. Otherwise the Annaliese doll will be a little behind as the song progresses.

If you purchase each doll separately, you may still be able to get them to sing together if you follow the same steps.

By the way, if your doll comes with the "Try Me" cord still attached (it's a long pink cord with a little black button at the end), no need to be careful with your cutting -- you can cut right through it to get the doll out. This cord is not necessary and is not meant to stay on the doll after it is removed from the box. It is strictly for in-store demostrations.

Hope this helps!

I have Erika and Annaliese, and for christmas i am getting the rest of the princess and the pauper range!!! I like both of the songs Erika sings but Annalieses 2nd song is soo annoying. i tried to get them to sing together but they sung at different times EVEN when i pressed the button at the Exact same time.i dont know if anyone else has this problem but i have fixed it. Dont press the buttons at the same time, press erika first and then press Annaliese, it does work!!! The movie is absoultly fantastic and i think every girl (who likes barbie of course) should have this doll!!!!!! They are pretty and fun!!!

My daughter received this for her third birthday and she loves it. Erika is just beautiful and her dress is gorgeous. My daughter, who loves all Barbie dolls, says that she is the prettiest one of all. There is a small button on her back that makes Erika "sing" when it is pushed. My one concern is that the button may break at some future date, but so far it works fine. The songs are pretty and not annoying like the songs on some toys. Erika also comes with a comb and brush set and my daughter has fun styling her hair. Now she really wants the DVD - I guess I know what she'll be getting for Christmas!
