Julie Andrews Selects Her Favorite Disney Songs is yet another of the beloved British diva's collaborations with the House of Mouse, but check that title carefully. It'd be easy to assume that Andrews was applying her golden pipes to "Beauty and the Beast" and the like, but this was released in 2005, when Andrews was still not all the way back from botched vocal-cord surgery. Thus, she has personally picked the 15 songs and written notes about them, but she doesn't sing; the recordings themselves are the original movie soundtracks you've heard for years (OK, she does sing on the two vintage Mary Poppins numbers). That's not necessarily a bad thing--these recordings have definitely brought a lot of enjoyment over the years--but chances are Disney fans will have many, if not all, of them in their collections already, and they'll be disappointed if they're expecting something new from Andrews. --David Horiuchi

My Favorite things.......2006-08-22

Yes, these are all classics. I was disappointed that Julie Andrews was not singing them all herself, but there is something about the original cast recordings! Great selection that brings back many memories. Nice to have so many favorites all on one disc!

Excellent CD.......2006-05-31

Personally, I think this is a splendid CD. It highlights many old favorites from Disney, including most of my favorites, such as Part of Your World (one of my favorites) and Beauty and the Beast. Julie Andrews and I have much in common, apparently. This is an excellent source to get favorites, personally selected by someone who knows her Disney.

Contrary to what many are saying, if you actually pay attention to the title of the CD, you are able to tell that this is just a collection of favorites, not actual favorites. If you were so compelled to buy the CD and eager to hear Julie Andrew's sing, then you would know that she is unable to produce such a project like this. (Hence the "selects", not sings.)

All in all, if you're looking for a CD to revisit your favorite highlights, this is the one. Definetly worth the price (though that's not very high).

Bravo!.......2006-02-21

Anyone who is a fan of Julie Andrews (or Disney for that matter) is aware that Julie can no longer sing as she once did due to a botched vocal cord surgery. The album does not state that Julie Andrews sings, just that she selects. This a great collection of WONDERFUL disney songs endorsed by Disney's Anniversary Chairperson and a true Disney star. You will enjoy this CD as a first, or maybe second to your disney music collection.

Good Choices Julie!

Sorry Folks...not a new recording of Julie Andrews........2006-02-05

I got this thinking it was going to be Julie Andrews singing these great songs. It's not! It's the original film versions, which is ok but still then file it under "DISNEY MUSIC" or something other than Julie Andrews. In record stores, it's located under Julie Andrews which makes you think, it's really her singing the tunes. I think it's great she is the Disneyland spokesperson for the 50th anniversary and I can't think of anyone better but this CD is very misleading. Let's hope she actually records something again really soon, like "Julie Andrews SINGS her Favorite Disney tunes".

Awesome.......2005-10-11

I love this cd. It turns out that the songs that Julie Andrews loves are the same ones I love. It's perfect for me to get my favorite disney songs without having to pay lots of money for a bunch of songs I don't like, just so I can get one particular song. I recomend this cd.
