After getting somewhat . . . okay, VERY annoyed with Disney using only recycled footage and rereleasing old songs for their albums, I was pleased to learn that they had actually created a new album with all the original Princess voices, except of course Snow White, Cinderella, and Aurora. Even though the singers they got to impersonate these three don't sound quite like them, they still have lovely voices.

After reading the song titles, you'd expect this CD to sound extremely childish and cheesy, but instead the songs are sung beautifully and have a very Broadway style to them, and many sound like they could have easily fit into the Princess movies, or at least the melodies and they way they're sung. Who'd expect anything less from these extremely talented singers, such as Jodi Benson, Lea Salonga, Judy Kuhn, and Susan Egan?

The lyrics are somewhat cheesy, but they're not nearly as bad as they sound, and some of the songs have gorgeous lyrics that aren't cheesy at all, such as "Waiting for My Prince" and "These Moments We Share," which are some of my favorites. I also love "The Princess Dance" because the tempo changes each time a different princess sings, which makes it a very fun song because as soon as you get tired of one style, it shifts to another.

Personally, I think this album is beautiful for any age group because of how lovely the songs are sung and how nostalgic they are of the old Broadway style songs in traditionally animated Disney movies, but if you are planning on buying it for children, I think it would be very good for them as well because the songs are extremely encouraging and complimentary, referring to the listener as a beautiful princess, etc. Ariel's song, "Manners and Etiquette," encourages children to be polite and considerate, "The Princess Dance" would be a lot of fun for children to dance to, and Jasmine's "Musical Chairs," although it's the most irrelevant song on the CD, teaches children about this popular game, which could easily be played to this song. Also, Ariel's "Happy Birthday, Princess!" would be perfect for a birthday party.

This is a very fun CD overall, the songs are all sung beautifully, the instrumentals are done perfectly, and children would adore it. The only thing I didn't like was the cover because I thought it should feature the princesses more, so I designed my own cover for it.

I bought this for my princess-obsessed daughters when it was first released and now, over a year later, it is still a staple in our car's CD player. They listen to this album over and over again, happily singing along and never seeming to tire of it. I could chalk this up to it being the Princesses capturing the hearts of my little girls, but these are very musically savvy preschoolers who can be very picky about what they sing and dance to. I think this is a favorite because it's a good CD, Princesses or not. All the songs on the album are new originals based on the principals of being a good princess. Except for Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora all the songs are sung by the original Princess vocalists (Jodi Benson, Lea Salonga and Paige O'Hara). All the vocals are beautifully sung. The music is reminiscent of Broadway musicals or Disney music soundtracks. It's upbeat and catchy, even infectious. After hundreds of listens I still find myself singing along. And really, as parents, aren't we just looking for something our kids love that we can enjoy as well? The album's standouts are Belle's bouncy "The Perfect Princess Tea," Cinderella's "Every Girl Can Be A Princess" (complemented by mouse harmonies), Ariel's calypso meets 60's girl singer "Happy Birthday Princess", and "If You Can Dream" a melodic poppy ballad sung by all the princesses.

I don't know why everyone bought this album only to his or her young daughter who were only 5 or 6 years old or younger. I think if you're a true Disney Princess fan, your age can't keep you away from this album! You know, I'm a teenager, a university freshman, I bought this album for myself and enjoyed it very much!
According to this lyrics of these songs, I know that these songs were teaching little girls how to be a princess. For example, "Manners and Etiquettes" taught girls how to eat gracefully, "The Princess Dances" taught some different dances to tell girls how to dance beautifully, "Cups and Saucers" taught girls that how to have tea in a Chinese way. I think we teenagers can learn these too.
But one of the reason I bought this album was very important, my favourite lady vocals sang songs of this album. I love the feeling that Jodi Benson's, Lea Salonga's and Paige O'Hara's voices delighting my ears. The song "If you can Dream" was one of my favourites. In the lyrics, girls can learn how to dream and how to make their dreams come true. Listening to this song, I know I should fight for my dreams and never give up until my dreams all come true!
And, as a Chinese university student, I think listening to English songs can improve my English. So in my opinion, this album is not only for little kids but also for teenagers and all the people who love Disney Princess. I think this album is fit for little girls and me at least!

The melody is beautiful, and the lyrics are very beautiful, romantic and encouraging! The song "Happy Birthday" of Ariel's is very good, because Ariel's voice is beautiful and sweet! The song "If you can dream" of all the princesses is the best! I have been looking for MP3 of this song, and now I found it has been featured in this album! Hah hah... I think I'll buy this album!!!

I purchased this CD for my 3 1/2 year old daughter. Some of the songs on this CD are used in her weekly ballet class and she danced to "The Princess Dance" at her recital. She absolutely loves this CD!! She enjoys all of the princesses singing their own songs, as well as those they sing together. She also enjoys looking at the insert with all of the princess pictures. I liked that the words to the songs are included and it tells you which princess sings each song. Her favorite tunes are "The Princess Dance", "Every Girl Can Be A Princess", and "Happy Birthday Princess". This CD is played everywhere, in the house and in the car. We are definitely going to wear this CD out! Would recommend this to anyone who has a little princess of their own!

After searching through countless pages of rehashed Disney classics I found this mp3 album. It seems refreshing to have something new, that hadn't been passed around a million times, reworked to give new flavor. This only works for so long. In waiting for more Disney songs of this era,I'll be listening to this!
This would be a great album for any child you want to use their imagination, away from the TV or computer, while learning to socialize, while being polite to others around them.

For my daughter's third birthday, we decided to host a "Princess Tea Party" in the fairy gardens at a nearby nature preserve. When the little princesses approached the gazebo, they were thrilled to hear their favorite Disney Princesses singing "about their tea party!" The girls, aged 3-4, enjoyed identifying which princess was singing. They all found themselves trying to sing along, too. The lyrics to a few songs were sung quickly, so it was hard for the little girls to pick up without help. The parents especially liked the underlying manners theme! And, as can be expected from Disney artists, the voice quality and ranges of the singers was impressive. We will use this again and again for years to come.

I bought this edition, because I thought it would be better, what's more, I thought it would be many little gifts go with them. But when I got it, I felt it was not so different from the odinary edition. I was a little disappointed. However, the songs in this album were very good. I love "Happy Birthday, Princess" and "If you can dream" very much. I was so excited that this album featured a lot of my favourite lady vocals such as Jodi Benson's and Lea Salonga's. How I wish they will be young forever and sing more new songs of Disney Princess'! And I hope that Disney will record more albums like this one.

Bought this for my daughter, she loves it! She wants to play it every time we're in the car. Has the best Happy Birthday song, definitely plan on playing it on her birthday! With the exception of the birthday song it is all about tea though, I did buy another princess cd for variety.

My daughter and I both enjoy the Disney Princess Tea party music. I also used it for background music at her birthday party.
