Both my kids and I loved Kidz Bop1. This CD was a complete disappointment to my kids and I. It's painful to listen to. Only a couple of songs, such as Kryptonite are done to any of the old Kidz Bop1 standards. The rest of the songs sould like they were done in someone's basement using a Casio keyboard. Buy Kids Bop1, but when you do, notice how the songs sort of sound like the originals. With Kids Bop2, the songs don't even come close. It sounds like there are only 3 or 4 different vocalists trying (operative word) to sing the songs. The worst is the Monkees remake 'Im A Believer'. This CD set is horrific and my kids don't like it. There are also a lot of R&B songs which should not be on a kids CD such as 'Survivor' which talks about surviving a divorce. Take my advice and stay away from this at all costs. Of course, as a legal disclaimer, this is only my opinion.

My kids loved the first kidzbop. But I have never been able to stand the poor quality of the music and singing on that CD. I made a consolation because the singers were mostly children after all. When they got kizbop 2 I dreaded hearing it. But surprise! the music and singing are far superior to the original kidzbop, and much closer to the original artist's cut.

Alright people, Not to be overly critical.... but do you have any idea what these kids are singing about on kidzbop?

Turn off the light- Starts off with "it gets so lonely in this bed"!!!! HELLO!?!?!

Shape of my heart- "Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker"!!! Hello?!?!?!

Fallin'- "How do you give me so much pleasure"!!! Hello?!?!?

Everything you want- "But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn" (This is in reference to failed relationships, and what went wrong) Hello?!?!?!

Who let the dogs out- Is about men forcefully picking up women at a party! Hello!?!?!

come on over- "I'm not just talkin about your sexuality, but i can't help myself when u put ur hands on me (put ur hands on me), It's paradise, when u and I, Get close, get tight ,I wanna wanna wanna, go on all nite, i wanna play that game with you baby,listen ta me"..... HELLO!?!?!?!

These are just a few of the songs; trust me, more of them are just as raunchy. Now, I admit, I havent heard the songs, I just looked at the track list and was appauled. Honestly, the vast majority of these songs are totally inappropriate for children to be listening to, let alone singing. The executives at whatever company that makes Kidzbop should be ashamed of themselves. Dont be mindless consumers and buy this CD because your kids like it. Kids tend to like alcohol and drugs too (obviously not the same age group. but you get the point.)but you wouldnt supply them with it now would you?! You are parents for a reason. Be an adult and protect your kids from the stuff they like that may not be good for them. Otherwise our nation is going to go bad real soon. There are plenty of clean musicians out there that your kids will enjoy listening to.

Letting your kids listen to this totally inappropriate music, VERY BADLY reproduced with untalented kids singing with untalented adults, is bad parenting. They might actually like it. But they're too young for these lyrics. You're the parent. Make the right choices for your kids and spare yourself the agony of having to listen to this.

I also wish there was a zero stars...i just cant believe that these kids...would try to even compare with any of the real artists...they sound fake, and teeny bopper, i bet they were like, abused, to do this project! Its JonBenetRamsey times 10...do not buy this cd, for even a penny...trust me...children will hate it, and you! This is from a kid that knows...dont do it, buy them something from the real artists...not the kids bop kids...i just cant wait to hear...them rap on the 3rd album...after i download it, cuz i will never buy one of these cds EVER AGAIN!

I just finished reading 17 reviews. I think some people need to get a life and realized these CD's are for KIDS...not adults or pre teens, or teenagers!!! I have a 7 yr. old & 2 1/2 yr old. They LOVE these CD's. My 7 yr. old has fun singing & dancing to them. Actually the CD's have inspired many new dance moves for her. The CD's are clean & fun! My husband & I even sing along with the kids. It is a great family fun time for us. Yeah, they aren't original artists...did you expect them to be for the price??? Who cares...the CD's are for FUN, not the AVID music lover looking for original cuts. Why don't those of you cutting these CD's down so badly spend your time with your children or go out there buying hundreds of dollars of ORIGINAL ARTISTS cd's and stop complaining. Meanwhile, I'm going to go put on the Kids Bop 2 Cd for my kids!!!

In response to Mike Geary's:

I am in total agreeance with you about the content of any music our kids listen to. I thought the same thing you did about these cd's before. But I was afforded an opportunity to listen to the cd before buying it and found that they actually changed a lot of the words to some of the songs so the kids could sing them. I have a 9 year old daughter so I am very picky about what her music choices should be; outside of Disney, these cd's are ok!

This is all true.Nothing could compare to the pain that was this cd, when I put this cd in my player the darkness covered the sun the innocent were sautered the people ran mad down the streets but this cd was worse than anything my ear started to bleed and mad I heard a humming sound till I was mute from the terror that is Kidz Bop 3 I idmentally had a bowol movement and I curled up in a fetal positon and asked god to make it stop, I then started to break anything around like a animal intent to make the horror stop I scream for hours, I couldn't hear the music anymore because I lost my hearing but I swear I could still hear every single song every single lyric on. in conclusion A++++ would buy from again.

This cd is TERRIBLE! It totally wrecks the actual songs from actual groups and NOT crummy kids just repeating it. A total waste of plastic. I thought it would be great-until the advertisment showed up. Don't wannna waste your money, then don't buy it. I may be twelve, but I know bad music when I hear it. Especially if it's just recorded for kids BY kids.

This is nothing but crap,these kids should not even be singing some of the songs on there.


Example


"Get the Party Started"


1.The woman if a woman is singing it sounds like she has a lisp,right there destroying the song instantly,not to mention she's way off key.

2." I can go for miles,if you know what I mean" Do they not realise,that is a sexual refference,I do not want my kid listening to this rubbish,expecially when its being sang by some 5 -6 yr olds.
