I first heard the song "Somebody Come And Play" at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. It was performed by Sesame Street characters Big Bird, Rosita and Elmo with a live full orchestra. It sounded amazing, and catchy too. Of course I then wanted to hear the original version from the television show, and thus found this DVD- Sesame Street Sings Karaoke.

And what a lot of fun it is. You see, on Sesame Street, there's something in the air that makes everyone want to sing. And just to start things off right, the DVD starts with the full version of my favorite Sesame Street song "Somebody Come And Play". Elmo and Rosita have a playdate but can't find in each other, and so break into this very cute song.

We then move on into the evening and the main part of the Karaoke show where the Sesame Street family are gathered together. Various Sesame Street favorites are performed by our Sesame Street friends: Rosita sings "You Say Hola" as does Gloria Estefan, Gabi and Miles sing "New Way To Walk" as do Destiny's Child, Telly and Baby Bear sing "Let's Go Driving" Gina and Elmo sing "Ladybug Picnic", Bob sings "People in Your Neighbourhood" as does Ben Stiller and Elmo sings "ABC-DEF-GHI". There's more too. It's also perfect singing learning for kids and adults in that we can learn through the Karaoke mistakes that the Sesame Street characters make.

Note that there are no on-screen lyrics for we the audience. The Sesame Street gang have their lyrics if they need them on their screen, but we don't on our screen. Perfect excuse to simply re-watch the DVD again and again.

All in all, a very enjoyable DVD and possibly the best Sesame Street DVD out there.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter cannot get enough of this! It is high energy, upbeat, full of catchy songs that she loves to sing with the characters! It has more music than storyline and is fast paced, which is perfect for short attention spans. It also seems to be a better quality than some of the older Sesame Street videos. If your child loves to sing with music, this is the perfect DVD! (Parents can sing along & have fun, too!)

My son is 18-months old and loves the Wiggles. I like the Wiggles too, but enough is enough. This Sesame Street DVD was definately a nice change. The music is great! I even heard my husband humming one of the songs the other day.

I would give this DVD 5 stars, but Elmo's voice just unbearable!
My son though is in love with this program. He asks to see it all the time and would dance with the characters. The only complaint - the "Destiny's Child" appears for exactly 30 seconds in one of the musical numbers - I thought they would sing at least one full song - not part of it. Of course, this is irrelevant for the young ones - they do not care who is singing as long as it is a nice tune.

My 15-month old daughter loves this DVD and so do I. The songs are cute without being annoying and as always, Sesame Street is one of the easier videos to have on day after day. The whole DVD is full of music, which my daughter loves. I HIGHLY recommend this DVD!

I bought this video while at the beach to have something to entertain our 10 month old. He loves it. It has great music and a wonderful story line. I wasn't sure if it would just be a bouncing ball with sing along songs. It isn't that at all. It is a sweet story about friendship and courage. I loved it. It is now one of our favorites. Finally a tape he likes other than the baby einstein collection. Buy it, you won't regret it.

My 18 month old daughter loves this DVD. She is just a big fan of Elmo so anything Elmo is in, she will watch it. But this is another winner from Sesame Street. It is a muscial, short (about 30 mins. in length) but sweet. Elmo narrates this one and the gang all perform different songs at their karaoke night performance. I like the fact that this is a musical with a theme and so from the beginnning of the DVD everyone sings. So it will hold the attention of your little ones if they just love to hear singing and see dancing. What's interesting about the theme is that the songs they all sing on karaoke night are all integregated with clips from either famous guest performers (like Desiny's Child performing "Walk" and Ben Stiller doing "People in your neighborhood") or clips from other episodes. Then the end finishes beautifully with a group number from Bob and the whole sesame street gang. This one is not as educational as the rest but it is very funny, engaging and very stimulating to your child's senses. I must point out though that Elmo does sing the alphabet so that is a plus too... But the reason I love it the most for my lil one is that it keeps her attention all the way through and the songs are great!!!

Very cute program. I just wish they showed more of the karaoke part. Baby Bear and Tully are just awesome when they sing. My husband and I sing "Let's Go Riding In An Automobile" to our son all the time. I think this program shows the characters in a more relaxed, real situation since karaoke was and maybe is still big. If your kids love the Sesame Street songs, they will love this program.

This is by far the best sesame street video we ever owned or have seen on TV. My 2 year old loves it!! The songs are catchy and very entertaining... even for adults!! You cannot go wrong with this purchase!
