Let me start by saying that Newsies is my favourite movie and has been since it first came out in 1992. I had always regreted not buying the CD when it was availible, so I decided to give this Karaoke CD a shot. I was shocked, repulsed, and more disappointed with a CD then I have ever been before IN MY LIFE. This CD is completely untrue to the movie's real music. I don't even know where to begin- the songs aren't even named the same on this CD! Let me assure you that the music from Newsies is *without a doubt* worth a 5-star rating, however, this Karaoke version is disgraceful. If you want the Newsies soundtrack, I suggest you look for one at an online auction or something, and DO NOT SETTLE for this appalling, piece of trash no-good fraud of a CD. It does not live up to the real Newsies sound.

This CD was very disappointing. I throughly enjoy the music from the musical Newsies. The Karaoke CD does not do the songs justice. During several songs the performers seem to take on their own harmonizing tryouts. I thought that there would be less singing loudly more softer undertones so that the music could be heard clearly and the performer had the room to express their vocal talents.

I first saw "Newsies" seven years ago, and my sister and I were addicted from the start! The music is fun, catchy and shows off the incredible talent of these male voices. One of my favorite parts is the a cappella version of "Seize the Day". All the guys have strong, pleasant voices. This soundtrack is an easy sing-along and will keep you coming back for more. I highly recommend it!

This is a very good CD, the songs are catchy and you you learn to like them. The movie is even better, you better think aobut getting both it is really worth it.

I got this sing-a-long because I am a big fan of Newsies!

It was not very impressive. The sing-a-long has five instrumental tracks and five reference vocals tracks. As a fan of Newsies, the reference tracks really irritated me because the singers sound awful and nothing like the actors in the movie.

A couple of the titles of the songs are even incorrect [And I, as a hardcore Newsies fan, was appalled].

"Carryin' the Banner" is called "It's A Fine Life"
"The World Will Know" has an added "And" in front of the title [Not a big deal, but it just irritates me a little]
and "King of New York" has an added "The" before it [again, not a big deal].

The CD just kind of irritated me. Don't bother. Buy the real soundtrack!

Does it seem stupid to anyone else that you can buy this karoke version but you can't buy the real thing? It doesn't make very much sense to me.

I love the movie- great music, fantastic sets, wonderous acting, and it is the best movie that I have seen in a long time. The soundtrack is just the bomb too! Songs like King of New York and The World Will Know and all the others are easy to listen to, easy to sing with, and they are just so great!

I saw the movie the day it opened on April 10th 1994. It is my favorite movie of all times, and I love the soundtrack, and the keriokee. If you like broadway, classical, or even alternitive, buy this cd, its awesome.

This has music you'll be humming for the rest of your life

If you want something like the movie, then don't get this. The singers have awful accents and annoying voices. The only good part is the blank music tracks (no words) which you can sing along with.
