1.0 out of 5 stars Not really for kids and awful to boot....., November 27, 2004

This review is from: Kidz Bop 6 (Audio CD)

With songs such as "Toxic", "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?", and "My Immortal" (all unchanged, I must add here),this CD is 100% unsuitable for children there is no merit to this CD as not only is it not appropriate, but every CD in this series sounds as though as a group of children are singing with their babysitter at a birthday party, and that the babysitter is allowing them to use suggestive language.

Honestly, these CD's seem to be for cheapskate lazy parents who won't shell out money for or time to find "real" CD's such as the Radio Disney series, which contain edited versions of the real songs (by the real artists no less) and the awesome soundtrack to Sega's "Sonic Heroes" video game.

And I have experience with these reprehensible discs because my nieces insist upon listening to them, and I have a feeling that we will all be subjected to another year of having to listen to "Kidz Bop Christmas". You know, it's funny that my mom and stepdad find real Christmas CD's such as Gary Hoey's "Ho Ho Hoey" annoying and refuse to let me play them at the family Christmases, but that squawking children aren't annoying and children who have no business singing "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" played over is entertainment. And God forbid we say anything negative about it or my 8 year old niece throws an ungodly fit. Someone pass the eggnog...heavily spiked please because I have a feeling my niece is getting this one for Christmas...yippee and woo hoo.This being said, I really give this no stars, but one is the lowest this system goes, so I guess I have to be happy with that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally Inappropriate, November 29, 2005

This review is from: Kidz Bop 6 (Audio CD)

I'm a 21 year old summer nanny to 3 kids under 10 and I have toddler-age cousins who I watch as well, and I am really disgusted with some of the song choices for these cds. I realize kids are going to talk about many subjects that would have been taboo when I was little, and they are exposed to a great deal through the various media forms, but I wouldn't let my kids listen to my Maroon 5 cd. Seriously, isn't it borderline pedaphillic to make "My pressure on your hips, sinkin' my fingertips into every inch of you, cause I know that's what you want me to do.." children's lyrics, DIRECTLY marketed at the toddler to tween age bracket?
What's next, "Let's Get Drunk" by Jimmy Buffett?
I can hear it now, angelic children's voices singing, "Barmaid, bring a pitcher, another round of brew, Honey, why don't we get drunk and screw" Seriously people, stop buying these cds. There are a lot of things your kids like and like to do but that doesn't mean they're in their best interest.
I give this negative stars, black holes.

Shotgun Method (NY... No, not *that* NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kidz Bop 6 (Audio CD)

Reasons why the "Kidz Bop" series of compilations are signs of the end times (or damn close, anyway):

1. Every (and I do mean EVERY) song is endlessly recycled mainstream pop radio fodder. It's all here, folks. Everything from lipsynching flash-in-the-pans, to Hot Topic rejects, to uber-bland alt radio muzak. Lousy, lousy taste in source material to begin with. Throw in a Limp Bizkit or Nelly album and you'll have all the bases covered for intellectually sterile crap.

2. Ironically, a good deal of these songs contain sexual (Are You Gonna Be My Girl?, Toxic) or dark (Hold On, My Immortal) subject matter, completely unedited. Would you actually expose your tyke to a lyric like "I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone/and though you're still with me/I've been alone all along?" Might as well throw them a Joy Division album while you're at it. The music is actually worth a serious listen.... unlike Evanescence.

3. They actually get ahold of bad songs and make them WORSE. Phenomenally WORSE. How so? Well, remove the original vocalists and replace them with way out-of-key children and equally tone-deaf adults. I can sing better than this, and trust me, that ain't saying much. Hell, I'd rather listen to this with the sounds of screaming rhesus monkeys overdubbed. At least it would accurately represent the evolutionary state of people who buy this for their kids.

4. They take last year's rehashed crap and make dance remixes out of them. If you thought Sk8ter Boi (and I lost 10 IQ points by just typing that song title) was bad in its original form, imagine a buttpounder remix with the aforementioned "vocalists" over top. It's enough to drive any sane adult batsh-t crazy.

5. Even their album covers suck arse. Am I the only one who notices this? The awful backgrounds, the HUGE block lettering in random bright colors...nice job with the sales aids, guys! Almost gave my cat a seizure. Negative stars for packaging alone.

I could continue on ad nauseum, but I think I've made my point. Turn your kids away from mind-numbing contemporary radio. Go buy 'em something by The Beatles, Big Star, Beach Boys etc. for their pop fix. If you really want to stimulate their noggins, encourage an appreciation of Dylan. If you're an Ultra-Conservative Parent who fears pop culture and thinks that the inclusion of lyrics in music will make your children engage in random acts of violence, have them take some doses of Coltrane, Davis, Brubeck, and Parker and call me in the mornin'. Just don't buy this, concerned parents, or I may have to report you for child abuse.
