I'm Not That Girl
Defying Gravity
I Couldn't Be Happier

Reviews from Singers:
From Elizabeth B.: "The Wicked Play Along sounds good - like right off the sheet music. The tracks with more piano help you learn the song. The other one is good as Wicked karaoke once you've finally learned the song and is a good accompaniment for intimate concerts or recitals."
From Rich N about this Wicked Karaoke possibility: "All the keys seem to be good for singers to use for Karaoke, although some of the temps are slow. Overall I think it is good. It's nice that there are the two versions of the tracks, one with the piano play along and one without."

2. FROM POCKET SONGS: Sing the Songs of WICKED 
$24.95. This CD uses synthesizer-produced tracks and attempts to simulate the cast album, while the Stage Stars version includes an orchestra and some fresh orchestrations. The "For Good" on the Pocket Songs CD is a little smoother than on the Stage Stars version (In the webmaster's opinion). It is non-graphic - i.e. without the lyrics.
