As an older teen, I am sure that I am less conservative than most parents, but I am still strongly against Kidz Bop for creating their remake of mostly inappropriate songs for kids. While I personally listen to a lot of these songs, I wouldn't have my child listen to them while Kidz Bop tries to pass itself off as something fun and child-friendly. Many of them have obvious sexual messages (sung by children, which i find disturbing) and themes that young children shouldn't have to deal with. From an teen's perspective, Kidz Bop has effectively ruined many songs for me; Every time I hear them sing on commercials I cringe. Kids should listen to their own age-appropriate songs. Just because kids are singing them doesn't make this okay for kids. Think about the bad influence of some pop music which regularly deals with drugs, sex, breakups etc. Do you want your five year old, completely unaware of what it's about, to sing along to this stuff?

Well, my ears hurt now.

Kidz Bop Kids just can't do it. They can't sing very well; their recordings of the songs often stray from the music itself; and the lyrics are rarely the same.

I understand the purpose of Kidz Bop Kids is to sell CLEAN versions of popular songs, but it is possible (especially with iTunes) to buy clean verisons of the songs sung by the real singers. A "bleep" is much better than a half-thrown attempt to replace a swear word with something sounding similar or "criminal record" with "school record."

What is wrong with singing "criminal record says I broke in twice" anyways?

KNOW THE LYRICS BEFORE YOU BUY FOR YOUR KIDS!

THIS MUSIC CONTAINS HARMFUL, NEGATIVE, DESTRUCTIVE MESSAGES FOR KIDS!!!

MOST of the songs aren't kid friendly or appropriate IN THE LEAST! My FIVE YEAR OLD picked up on ALL the lyrics to "Welcome to my Life" and it SEVERELY affected his mood and behavior!!!!!!! How would you feel knowing that the following lyrics from songs on KidzBop7 is what's being marketed and sold to your child:

WELCOME TO MY LIFE:
"Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding..."

1985:
"Debbie just hit the wall
She never had it all
One Prozac a day
Husband's a CPA
Her dreams went out the door
When she turned 24
Only been with one man
What happened to her plan?"

BEAUTIFUL SOUL:
"Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide..."

ON THE WAY DOWN:
"Sick and Tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive"

AND IT GOES ON AND ON..................

Kidz Bop as a whole is apocolyptic, meaning it is so horrible, it could end the world as we know it, and the series truly is horrible. Basically, the series is a bunch of retarded idiots who like going on camping trips and singing songs around the campfire at night. Listening to this loser music is the same as dunking your head into the world's dirtiest toilet and gargling. If you want the songs, then just get the originals.

If you actually LIKE the series, you have problems and need your head examined. You should spend your money on something like Grand Theft Auto games, or Halo 2, or a PSP, OR A MONKEY!!!! MONKEYS RULE!!! (Okay, scratch the monkey)

Basically, don't get this.

I've hated albums 1-7 and I'm sure I'll hate the album I'm about to talk about.

I don't know when this is due to out to stores, but it's real.
Let's just say that I won't be getting this albume any time soon.

Now to talk about Kidz Bop 7:

I don't think the songs are innapropriate, but the music sounds like it's being sung by a dying cow.
Do you have any idea how many songs this cd ruined for me? In my oponion, One Thing is one of the best songs ever written, not to mention 1985 and Welcome to My Life. Kidzbop is a marketing device designed to take children's money, and tell their own kids to spend THEIR money on the same useless crap.
Also, the added lyrics in Welcome to my life are pretty grim. eg. "Do you ever feel like breaking down? 'Yes!'" "Are you stuck inside a world you hate? 'Yes!'" The yesses are added by the "sweet and happy" kids.
In conclusion, I have two things to say.
1: DEFINETLEY DON'T BUY THIS ALBUM
2: BURN IN HELL, KIDZBOP!

i have given u 15 reasons why kidz bop sucks. have a wonderful day.

Is the point of these CD's about making annoying little kids sing in the background? Do kids find this appealing?

Isn't "Lose My Breath" about sex?

Do kids really know what to do in JoJo's case to tell their cheating, 6-year old boyfriends to leave cause they're cheating?

Did they take Ashlee Simpson and digitally make her 10 years younger to re-record "Pieces of Me"?

Are little kids going to dress up like Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas after listening to "Let's Get it Started"?

It makes me wonder ...

What the heck was that?! They absolutely dstoyed Feel Good Inc! The kids bop people dont know what they were doing if they did that! They turned it into a crud heap of junky juked up junk! It nearly made my ears bleed! The Gorillaz rock and they dont. I am a BIG Gorillaz fan and am EXTREMLEY dissapointed.
Those are my thoughts you can egree with them or not. It dosent matter to me.

Do not buy this CD if it's the last CD on earth. It STINKS!!! It's even worse because they're are quite a few songs on here which I really like the original versions of (Pieces of Me, Let's Get It Started, Breakaway, My Happy Ending, On the Way Down, and Beautiful Soul). Kidz Bop takes songs and totally ruins them! Don't artists have control over who does remakes of their songs? If I were Avril Lavigne with a chart topping single, I'd never give Kidz Bop permission to record it! And how in the world did they get Green Day's approval to do Boulevard of Broken Dreams for Kidz Bop 8? Personally, I love that song, and when I heard the sample, it was totally ruined! Which leads me to believe that Kidz Bop does NOT even get permission to record these songs! The songs are inappropriate for litte kids and the singers' voices are weak and whiny. DO NOT BUY THIS CD!!!!!

To be honest with all the customers, I practically had an ear aneurysm followed by a brain hemorrhage after hearing a few seconds of Kidz Bop. Honestly, I leave tightly packed products in my toilet that are more interesting and stimulating than this...
If you are seriously considering purchasing this product, you should seriously consider investing in health insurance for your children too, as they might have seizures and fall into comas after hearing such densly packed crap emmitting from a speaker. Kidz Bop 7? Should have named it "drink coaster #7 that doubles as a frisbee"
