Grown-ups, gather your wits about you and repair to a different room: The Kidz Bop gang has returned for yet another installment, and if you think your 7-year-old has already had enough of the high-energy vocal flim-flamming, well, guess again. No self-respecting second-grader can resist a custom recasting of Daniel Powter's infectious "Bad Day." Ditto that where Madonna's "Hung Up" is concerned. Most appealing of all, though, may be the kiddification of the ballads: here's a rendition of Kelly Clarkson's "Because of You" that sounds ready-made for basement karaoke, or at least an electrifying lip sync into a hairbrush. And James Blunt's ever-popular "You're Beautiful" somehow takes on a tinge more urgency when it is sung, as it is here, by a chorus of chirpy-voiced, spaniel-eyed little admirers. Though the series is an easy target for cranky, musically discriminating adults, they should lay off. If not for the Bop (that won't stop), when would they find time to seal themselves off with the latest "NOW" disc? --Tammy La Gorce

1.0 out of 5 stars Ten things I hate about this series..., August 6, 2006

By 

Hossmann "The Mann" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kidz Bop 10 (Audio CD)

In "honor" of this being tenth edition of Kidz Bop (or as I like to call it "Torture Bop"), I have decided to do something different. Instead of complaining about this trash, I have decided to make a compiled list complaining about ten things dealing with this trash. Without further ado, here is said list:

1. Kidz Bop redubs Top 40 Music. I hate Top 40 music with a fiery passion.
2. This music is recorded by "children". This isn't a bad idea. However, when the "children" sound like something that is dubbed, redubbed and computerized, it makes you think about who actually sings this.
3. Something that can make Ashlee Simpson sound like a credible singer just has to be burned.
4. The musical lyrics are tampered with to sound more "child-friendly". Although the lyrics in question aren't exactly creative, it's still tampering the music.
5. The commercials for this series look like something out of a stoner's basement. They're full of magical colors, strange animals, and a multicultural mix of future Abercrombie & Fitch models, I mean tweens that hypnotize the mind of wee little children to buy the stuff.
6. This is just another tool for Razor and Tie to make their mega-profits. The Master of Puppets is among us! And they're controlling our wallets and purses!
7. This music is made for the most ad-gullible caste in the human race; The children. And as we have learned from McDonald's and Beanie Babies, if a kid wants something, s/he will use ruthless methods until s/he gets what s/he wants. Curse R&T for exploiting the easily exploitable children!
8. Children actually like this music, almost to the point of sheer obedience. This scares me. As certain philosophers have said, the children are the future. Sadly, the future doesn't look bright if they're listening to repetitive drool at a relatively advanced age. "Kidz Bop" is like "Kidz Crack". Once the kids start listening to this, they just can't stop.
9. Parents are stupid enough to buy this bunk, mainly due to advertising pressure.
10. It's the tenth edition of this torture, which is ten more then what should've come out.

In short, this list pretty much sums up what most of us have already thought: People shouldn't affiliate themselves with this album in any way. I also have something to say to the parents who will potentially buy this "music". If you disagree with me and tell me that if the kids didn't listen to this, they would listen to music dealing with sex, murder, and promiscuity, I will tell you this: Just introduce them to Schoolhouse Rock.

Schoolhouse Rock was what I grew up on (I'm 18, so i'm not some "old fogey" either.), and I don't regret it at all. This series has creative lyrics, catchy songs, and your children learn a few things in the process. So before you buy any more Kidz Bop, buy them that. It doesn't have the songs that are "hip" to them, but they'll learn to love them like you once did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ruining our children, September 22, 2006

I am a 23 yr old mother of a 2 1/2 yr old. Not only are these children HORRIBLE singers, but there is a reason that most parents don't let their children listen to the original songs... they teach them things they don't need to know. I thought this would be a "kids" version that would get rid of that stuff when I let a child I was babysitting put the cd on... and was appalled at how much they talked about sex and other innappropriate things for children. They didn't take that out! Children are exposed to that every day in our world now, telling them it is "normal" and "ok". Parents have a big enough job to teach their children right and wrong with the way the world is today. It becomes a much harder job when you give them something that is for "kids" that teaches them that those things are "normal". They assume if it is ok for a kids cd, it can't be that bad. I think this is horrible and would never spend a penny on it for a child! Some of the songs I like in the originial version and do listen to, and this CD has ruined them! But when it comes to children who are too young to understand that it is just a song and doesn't mean what they say is ok... I think it is the WORST thing you could buy for your child!

1.0 out of 5 stars ***Parents Be Alerted***, October 18, 2006

This review is from: Kidz Bop 10 (Audio CD)

I purchased this album for my kids (6 + 4.5) and just assumed that it was child friendly because it is Kidz Bop and kids sing on the album. BUT I was wrong. On the last song #18 Don't forget about us. Half way through the song there is a line that was never altered for kids. The line states "b**tch don't do it like me, she'll never be MC.." Um hello! This is KIDZ BOP..... Needless to say I tried to contact the company but to no avail.... Buyers be aware.... For the sake of the kids that are growing up way too fast...
