Because there are tons of Wicked fans who would do anything to show up Kristin or Idina.

I consider it an act of grace so that the entire nation is not instantly plagued with tone-deaf 13 yr olds screeching "Defying Gravity" following their favorite Britney song at various slumber parties and school talent shows.

I honestly love Wicked, but I can see it all getting out of hand.

Try Colony Music Center. The Colony stocks the world's largest sheet music selection and also has tons of Karaoke. It's located in Times Square on 49th St.

That's where I got it. You can call them at 212-265-2050 or order online (link is below). It costs $29.98 and they can to ship to you. Just click "Karaoke" on the bar on the left side and scroll down to search for "Wicked". That should do it.

Enjoy - it's a really great karaoke album.

Hmm... I saw that one too when I was there last week. Don't know why it's not on their site. Maybe you have to call them to order that one.

Millie42 hit it right on the head - I couldn't phrase it better! A karaoke nightmare I can just picture it - "They're never gonna bring me down..." (followed by) Oops I did it again... (and then of course the Grease mega-mix)

The COLONY link posted here doesnt have a very good selection. Search on Amazon...theres a good one there but last time I checked it was back ordered. The one on Amazon leaves out only Dear Old Shiz and March of the Witch Hunters I believe. (Which arent really neccesary any way)

Hey, at least that 13 year old would still have an appreciation for music. As for me, I love everyone who is willing to listen/sing along with "Defying Gravity." And may I add, that there are many 13 year olds out there whose voices are LOADS better than that of their elders.

Note to self: NEVER say anything that could be regarded as remotely negative towards Wicked or any of the people that like the show. Humor is dead.

I'm supposed to get it in a few days! Can't wait? Is it the OBC on the other disk with the vocals though?

I love Wicked, but I'm curious about all the support it's getting from little girls in the popular group. This musical is about being different, yet at least in my area the thirteen year old britney spears wannabees are going crazy over this musical. Are they missing the point, or am I?

Well there are the people who want full orchestral accompianment when they are performing. ala, me. That's the reason I'm getting it. To perform 'Defying Gravity' at the local theatre.

I understand it's Amazon that's having the problem. There are two Wicked karaoke albums on their site (neither listed as available): a one disk version without the opening number "No One Mourns the Wicked"; and a two disk set that includes that song from Stage Stars. I like the second album, and they are in stock on the WWW.Stage-Stars.com website.

Bypass the evil Amazon Emerald City and just go directly to their site. It's less frustrating.

Yeah, but Cho those 13 year olds won't be singing when they're 20 if they try belting out DEFYING GRAVITY like Idina. Very few young voices could take that kind of punishment - they just aren't developed enough.

(That should give you hope, Millie - those 13 year olds will belt out DEFYING GRAVITY for a year, after which they'll either get bored, those with training will have exhausted the song, or in the case of those without training they'll have ruined their voices. So you've only got to worry about it for 12 months)
