Open Mic Karaoke: Newsboys - Volume 2

Sparrow TKD97899R Album Book (EMI Christian Music Group)

Yet more Open Mic Karaoke...yawn! This CD includes five tracks, some of which you may even not be aware are Newsboys originals as they have cropped up on so many worship albums recently. All tracks come in two versions, one with and one without lead vocals for sing-a-long purposes. If you are a karaoke addict then I guess you'll get some enjoyment from this, but if you are looking to take in some truly classic Newsboys material, instead pick up a copy of 'Take Me To Your Leader' or 'Thrive' and make sure you don't miss them at 2005's Alton Towers Ultimate Event!

reviewer's rating: 5/10 ["fair"]
