If you love to sing, this is a must-buy for your collection.
I saw Chicago on Broadway with a top cast, and loved it. Then I bought the soundtrack,and sang along with it, and really enjoyed it. But when I found the karaoke CD, I bought it also because I love to sing, and with all of the words to all of the songs, I enjoy being accompanied by an orchestra, and not having to try to sing over the cast album. Although the performers voices on the karaoke are not those of the quality on the soundtrack from the show, the orchestral tracks allow me to sing, record, and listen to how I sound on my own (pretty good, I must say modestly)! And I just heard that the movie of Chicago is coming out later this year, and I can't wait! So this CD should be a great one to enable me to learn all of the words and melodies, without trying to sing over the voices of the soundtrack.Both are musts if you like Broadway shows, and super-musts if you love the music from the show as much as I do!

This album is a lot of fun. The recordings give listeners a sense of how they should sing along with the karaoke, and being able to have a track with just instruments for singing along is an innovative idea and I am glad this album is around. It's fun if you just feel like singing along, or if you are practicing for some sort of audition with a song from Chicago. Definitely worth the money

The music quality is ok. Better than I was expecting; however, it does sound like a MIDI file in some places.

My biggest criticism is that when the song breaks into parts, it only puts one part on the screen. For example, in "Funny Honey" at the end, it only has Amos' spoken part on the screen. Roxie's part is written in the booklet, but it would be better if that had both parts on the screen simultaneously. Also, on "We both reached for the Gun" the voices of the reporters are recorded, and I would have rather they weren't. And thirdly, the MC introductions aren't there on any song!

But other than these three things it is fun to get to sing along with a great musical.

Do NOT BUY THIS CD! The singers are off-tune and lousy and sing with no feeling. The music in the backround dull and boring and sounds nothing like the actual soundtrack. Some wrong notes are hit and the rhythm is difficult to follow. THE MINUTE I LISTENED TO IT I THOUGHT IT WAS HORRIBLE AND WONDERED WHY THESE PEOPLE WERE HIRED TO MAKE THIS CD!!! Do not waste your money and time in buying this CD. I know I already did.

This is a fun karaoke CD but if you're a musician with a good ear, it might irritate you. The instruments are sometimes off pitch, and the volume levels aren't equalized at all. This means that it will at times blast your ears off, but if you turn the volume down, you may not hear the next part. Some of the instruments have a definite midi sound.

If all you're looking for is fun and you're not too discriminate, you'll enjoy this product.

I thought it was a very bland istrumental version of the songs from the Chicago musical. I ended up finding and buying another karoake version which was a much more entertaining version.

This recording is HORRENDOUS!!!!!!! Not only are the ensemble singers one person who cant stay in tune half the time but the insturmentation is horrendous. About 20 peent of the time it sounds like they screwed up and never fixed it. I listened to it on my way home from NYC for the first time and I had to shut it off it was so horrible. EVEN IF YOU LOVE CHICAGO, THIS CD WILL RUIN IT
