This CD is great! The background tracks are quite close to the actual orchestrations and are fun to dance around to (in regards to Hairspray) and great to sing along with (in regards to both musicals). Both musicals are a little cheesey and fun by themselves, but this CD makes me appreciate them even more. I love Hairspray especially, but all songs in both musicals on this CD are at the right tempos and in the right keys. Great to perform to if you're a serious performer or just a fun-loving karaoke singer. The ONLY fault with the cd is there are NO back-up vocals on ANY of the tracks, so the ensemble numbers are a bit...quiet. Not as dynamic for a solo voice, but all-in-all a wonderful cd and a must for any musical theatre performer. 4 Stars!

I bought this CD to use as a backup for a pageant performance and I'm pretty pleased with it. The songs are in the correct keys and sound pretty darn close to the originals. There aren't any guide vocals which I found to be a blessing; no more listening to some half-rate singer faintly chortling along in the background! There are a few parts (mainly the big orchestra solos) where you can tell that a synthesizer was used versus a real band, but these parts are pretty sparse. The only draw-back to this CD is that there are absolutely no backup vocals so the big finales and chorus sections don't pack the oomph that they do in the live performances. Overall, however, I would recommend this CD for local performances, pageantry, or just for some good karaoke time.

Karaoke music is tricky, right? i mean if you're interested in Hairspray or Millie and you are looking at this CD you must know that. The thing is, with karaoke, there are hardly ever sound clips available, they are usually on the expensive side, and the quality is always questionable. We have all looked for hours online to find that certain/ special song and clicked on "buy now" before we took another breath and we've all regretted it. Bells chiming, fake guitars, cellos, paino, or whatever other horrible un-musical and quite awful "musical" sound that comes out of these CDs is awful and a waste of time and money- especially since you usually cannot return that same horrible CD. This Millie/ Hairspray karaoke is different than all of those other bad ones, primarily because it is AWESOME!! There are not complaints. Tempos and key are all original to the broadway cast recording CDs. If you ever have a doubt with karaokes i recommend Pocket Songs and Just tracks, still be careful and i cannot guarantee that they will be good- but i have never had a bad experience with either one. Back to MIllie/ Hairspray...just get it. it is well worth every cent.

My kids take voice lessons. They enjoy being able to sing with the singer and then doing it on their own. Good selection of songs.

I love it, and what I especially LIKE is that there is NO background-chorus. If the Dutch version of the show starts next season we can sing along with the Dutch lyrics, without a English chorus.
Great!!
