DVD Reviews of Sesame Street - Sesame Sings Karaoke
DVD Review: Good, Fun Video
Summary: 5 Stars
My 18 month-old son just loves this video and it's one that I don't hate watching over and over (and over); that's a big plus.
As usual with a Sesame Street music video, there's little or no plot. But first, I don't really expect one. Two, in this case they don't even pretend to have one (there's a short plot early on about Elmo and Rosita looking for each other) so you're not forced to sit through the usual bad plot! People getting up and singing karaoke isn't a plot. It is, however, fun.
In addition, the songs are generally quite good and include a number of Sesame Street classics such as "I've Got a New Way to Walk," "People in Your Neighborhood," and "Somebody Come and Play."
With regard to some of the criticism:
1) I have no idea why one might think that a Sesame Street DVD could be used in a karaoke machine. To the extent that I'm missing something, this person is correct. This is "only" a video DVD.
2) With regard to the person who complains that the karaoke scenes cut away from the Sesame Street characters to other scenes (either guest stars or the original SS scene in which the song aired), I must say that he has a point. However, I chose to not take away any stars because of it as it doesn't bother me or my son. Indeed, it had never even occurred to me as a possible flaw until he pointed it out.
Finally, while I've always enjoyed the potential side-benefit that Sesame Street may help teach while it entertains (and there is the occasional good lesson buried among the songs - such as it being okay to make mistakes), I never expected my child to learn precisely what he did from this video. At seventeen months my son learned to say his first four-syllable word: "karaoke."
Description of Sesame Street - Sesame Sings Karaoke
Get ready for a musical Sesame Street Muppet ® extravaganza! Something?s in the air on Sesame Street that makes everyone want to sing! Elmo and Rosita break into song when they have a playdate, but can?t find each other! Won?t "Somebody Come and Play?" The music goes on into the night when Sesame Street stays up late to sing more songs - karaoke style. Kids of all ages can sing and dance along to renditions of such Sesame Street favorites as "ABC-DEF-GHI," "You Say Hola," "Ladybug Picnic," "New Way to Walk," "Let?s Go Driving," and "People in Your Neighborhood." And the beat goes on - even with forgotten lyrics, stage fright and a broken karaoke machine! Featuring special guest performance clips by Gloria Estefan, Destiny?s Child and Ben Stiller!Children's Music Music CDs
