Editorial Review:
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
As the official ambassador for the Disneyland 50th Anniversary Celebration Julie Andrews reflects on her favorite Disneyland memories as well as her favorite Disney songs. This compilation features some of the greatest Disney classics of all time, hand selected by Julie Andrews and accompanied by personal notes written by Ms. Andrews herself.

Rating:  - Masterpiece
For Julie Andrews rabid fans it's something to behold, a rarest of all rare. It is a cd that I thought would never come to light. WE're still waiting for "Rose_Marie", "Julie and Carol At Lincoln Center", "JUlie Andrews Live At Osaka" and "Love Me Tender" to be released as cds. I wonder if Sepia records couldn't do something about that...
Rating: - My Favorite things
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!
Rating: - Excellent CD
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Bravo!
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!
Rating:  - Sorry Folks...not a new recording of Julie Andrews.
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 ...
