1.0 out of 5 stars REALLY a bad idea ..., August 2, 2005

Its pieces like this that lend credibility to the argument that the entertainment industry is destroying the morals of today's youths.

Simply put, NOT ONE of these songs was originally written with an audience under the age of about 13 in mind. There are a couple of GLARING examples, such as Frankie J's 'Obsession' with lyrics that make direct reference to sex and infidelity. How can someone possibly let a six or seven year old listen to this kind of stuff?

Now, I don't mean to come off sounding high and mighty. I actually like a LOT of these songs (well ... the non-disney'ed versions anyway); but you can't tell me that a six year old can appreciate U2's career retrospective in 'Vertigo' or Green Day's 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams.' All of the creativity and uniqueness of all these pieces, which is what makes them all so special in the first place, is just totally lost.

Kids will grow up fast enough as it is. There's NO NEED to hurry them into music that's more sophisticated then they can handle. They'll be at that point soon enough as it is. Being a parent myself, I can appreciate how hard it is to monitor what your kids are paying attention to, but this isn't the answer. As the saying goes, you have to crawl before you can walk. Let kids be kids ...

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, August 7, 2005

By

This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)

Everything that is wrong with this CD come be sumed up by one song, Vertigo. A good U2 song is taken and ruined. The kids pre pubecent voices are hardly heard on the song, leaving an adult to sing most of it. The song is plain awfuul, your ears will be bleeding. Also the collection of songs are not the best suiting for the tween group. If parents want to buy their kids a CD, stick to The Best of Disney. Real wholesome fun there.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is an example of corporate takeover, September 12, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)

Those of you who are foolish enough buy this cd don't realize that this was made by a company that wants to make easy money. Also if any of you parents have a real taste in music, don't create another generation of this manufactured pop music craze. The world is going to end now if we keep buying Kidz Bop (this is teaching kids how to spell wrong too).
