I almost made the mistake of buying a different version of HSM karaoke. There is a version out there with a gold cover and two discs; the first with the regular soundtrack (no karaoke) and the second disc with the CD+G karaoke BUT it's instrumental only. Not for me; my kids like to sing along with the main singer, not just to the instrumental version.

But THIS version (red cover, one disc) has both vocal and instrumental versions on one disc. Perfect. And perfect price. If there's a song missing, my kids haven't noticed. It really is very cute to see them sing along, and even my 5 year old who can't read yet knows the words. A fantastic addition to our karaoke collection.

There are two formats: instrumental accompaniment and the vocal version with the original singers on a CD-G format. You are at a better advantage if you have 2 microphones given the complexity of vocals between singers.

All of the songs from the hit movie are there with the exception of the Reprise version of "What I've been looking for" are included.

Quality of the songs and the accuracy of the timing of lyrics is good. Also included are the written lyrics.

If you love the movie and the songs, your young star will definitely appreciate this addition to the Karaoke library in your home!

My little girl and her friends are way into HSM and this karaoke CD is a HUGE HIT with all of them! They especially like the last track where they can do a duet with Troy. I love that all the songs are clean and the music sounds great. I find myself singing the songs all the time. It is great to have one CD with the musical version and the vocal version, kids can pick how they want to sing it. The words appear on the screen and in different colors for female/male vocals.

Nowhere in the product description does it mention that you need a karaoke machine to see on-screen lyrics for this disc -- but that's exactly the case. I purchased this disc to play in a DVD player with a plug-in microphone, and, while it plays the music, it doesn't show any on-screen lyrics while playing in a DVD player. I am extremely disappointed in the product description.

It was a huge hit. I absolutely enjoyed the concert my children put on with it.

All songs come with both original vocals and in instrumental karaoke versions. Some instrumental karaoke songs have backup vocals. The "Bop to the Top" instrumental version has some lead vocals interspersed through the song as well, which is a little weird, but you get used to it.

This is a Video CD (VCD), not a DVD, which means you need a DVD player that can play the VCD format to see it on your TV screen. The lyrics graphics aren't great, but they work just fine for the most part. Occasionally they get a little jumbled, but nothing that you can't sing around. The lyrics are also in the album booklet, but that is a little hard to follow with the small print and the duets.

The CD is missing one song, "Stick to the Status Quo." I would have given it 5 stars otherwise. My kids and I have a fantastic time with this CD, singing for hours on end.

This is fun c.d. My kids sing for hours.

My kids were already going all over the house dancing and singing the songs. This just gave them a instumental to follow. They have had a blast and I have to confess I have even given it a try a time or two...or more. I love that the songs are clean and suitable for my youngest to oldest child.

ok, so the songs get stuck in your head...over & over & over! but hey, it's still a cute, family friendly movie with a pretty good message- the songs are fun to sing along with on your karaoke machine!

My 9 and 7 yr old could spend hours singing with Troy and solo. They love it..it keeps them entertained.
