This review is from: Alphabet Rockers (Audio CD)

As a lover of hip hop, a music teacher and recording artist of kids music, it kills me to say this, but: This cd is ok for very little kids and in person it might be funner, but I was so bored right away. There are two songs that are pretty good but the rest of the songs are way to slow and repetitive and don't have enough content to be a whole song, kind of like they are the beginnings of ideas, that didn't get worked on. The other thing is that the two main woman's voices need some singing lessons, their pitch is off enough of the time, that it's really annoying. They have a great idea, a fabulous idea, it's just needs a lot more work. I'm sorry to sound so negative.
