Good. Not great.,

This review is from: Songs of Beauty And The Beast (Accompaniment 2-CD Set) (Audio CD)
Purchased this item to use as a rehearsal CD for our Community Theatre's production of Beauty and the Beast. It has all of the songs from the stage version of the show, and they are fully orchestrated. It is not a CD-G, so if you put it in your karaoke machine you will just hear the accompaniment without any words appearing on the screen.
The songs were decent renditions of the stage versions of the songs. They have all of the verses from the libretto. "Be Our Guest" is a little slow compared to what you may expect. The other songs are about at the tempo you would expect.
The set comes with two CDs, one with vocals, one without. The voice talent on the vocal CD is so-so. Gaston is strong. Lumiere is a little weak. Belle is good.

Not Karaoke despite the claim - of not NOWHERE on the disc does it even use the word. Amazon says it but it is not CDG and therefore useless in Karaoke machines. Which is dishonest from Amazon.

Beautiful music but where are the words?,

Beautiful music and voices, however, on the second cd, though it has great music, there are no back-up singers, nor lyrics for the karaoke machine, so unless you memorized every song and words, you should start learning.
