Well now you can sing the songs to Wicked. Yay. It's avilable for pre-order on Amazon and is comeing out June 21. It's made by Pocket Songs, and if they did the same job they did on the Chicago Movie Karaoke, then it should really be worth the $22 something. The only song ommited from the CD is "No One Mourns The Wicked" and "Finale". I believe another company, Stage Stars, is coming out with a Wicked Karaoke also. Their Chicago karaoke sucked.

Or what you could do is invest in a Vocal ripper used to take the vocals out of studio tracks...that way you can sing along to the actual underscoring. I've done it to AIDA, Full Monty and Footloose.
How much does a vocal ripper cost? That might be a cool thing to have.
I'm happy about this Wicked karaoke. The songs that are on it are all the good ones, so it'll be perfect for auditions and talent shows.
Jesus H! This could be the death of my house karaoke!!

A vocal ripper can be found by downloading the YoGen Vocal Remover trial version and then doing a google search for a password to unlock the entire version (the downloadable trial version rips about 20 seconds of the track). but still you really have to tweak the track to get it the way you want. Still, it's worth it.

Ooo thanks. I've been trying to fine good software for doing just that.
Damn! The one song I really want is not on there....I'll bet Wicked Witch of the East isn't on there either
I had little luck using a vocal ripper on either Wicked, or some of Avenue Q. The lower vocals came out easily, but the higher voices were problematic.
I will get the karaoke, already done.

I had a ripper but it was not as good as I thought it would be.
