Good sound, BAD lyric book
The backup sound is usually pretty decent, although it is true to the broadway version, in that there is much open space to allow the singer to ritard, etc. A bit risky for an uncertain singer. Some songs, such as This is the Moment, are a bit spare on instrumentation, but overall a fun and easy to use backup CD. Do NOT trust the lyric book, though- find the real...

It's true.....Its good enough for Karaoke
For the die hard, I have got to be in this show one day, Jekkie fan, it can be a very good buy. I will admit, Don't let some of the orchestrations fool you. It's like they spent all of their money on a couple of songs (not even the ones you would expect) and then the rest of the songs are all composed on a keyboard. I dont understand this!! They do it to other musicals as...

It's true.....Its good enough for Karaoke, July 28, 2005
This review is from: Sing The Hits Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Karaoke) (Audio CD)
For the die hard, I have got to be in this show one day, Jekkie fan, it can be a very good buy. I will admit, Don't let some of the orchestrations fool you. It's like they spent all of their money on a couple of songs (not even the ones you would expect) and then the rest of the songs are all composed on a keyboard. I dont understand this!! They do it to other musicals as well. By far the best is Phantom.....absolutely beautiful orchestrations on that Karaoke track. But Les MIs and this one which I also own seem to have really funky arrangements sometimes and odd starting places. I will say that Confrontation turned out nice as well as most of the girl numbers. This is the moment (the reason I bought this) just has a slightly odd feel to it. But, in the end, to this die hard fan I enjoy it. Just don't expect any lush orchestrations and you will enjoy it as well.

Where is "Bring on the Men"?, September 22, 2009
This review is from: Sing The Hits Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Karaoke) (Audio CD)
The two best songs in Jekyll & Hyde were "Bring on the Men" and "Letting Go". Why are they missing from this disk?

Strong disc, good orchestrations and arrangements., December 21, 2010
This review is from: Sing The Hits Of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Karaoke) (Audio CD)
Unlike the Jekyll and Hyde concept version, this karaoke disc is based on the Robert Cuccioli / Linda Eder Broadway version.
As such, it does not include "Bring on the Men" which was cut from the second concept album (the original pre-broadway tour) or "Alive" which was changed from the concept's single four minute song into two, two minute songs, "Alive" and "Alive (reprise)" for Broadway.
That being said, it does cover the best songs in the show.
"Confrontation" is freaking intense. Pocket Songs did an amazing job on that one.
The female songs are done well.
I agree that "This is the Moment" is a little on the anemic side, but it is adequate, and far better than other versions out there.
