4.0 out of 5 stars Kidz with a Z
Okay, so first of all, I'm not a kid, and I like the Kidz Bop series. Their preppy, light hearted, lyrically appropriate music has attracted me since the first one came out. The original versions of these songs are attractive, but I'd rather not listen to music that has bad words and suggestive dialogue.

Now, that being said, if you are a parent looking for...

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

This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)
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 
chicoer2003 "chicoer2003" (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews
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).

1.0 out of 5 stars No More!!!, August 22, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)
Kids Bop now has eight albums can I ask how long this is going to go on? I'm sick of Kids Bop. I don't understand how people can listen to this. Even kids don't like this stuff. I know so many people who hate this stuff. The kids can't sing they are all out of tune cant get the notes or anything. Its sad but the truth. My brother who is seven laughs and makes fun of the commercial everytime it comes on. I'd love to work for Kids Bop because I love singing. But this is not what I call "music".

1.0 out of 5 stars Review - Kidz Bop, Vol. 8, August 16, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)
I can't understand how this CD made it into the top 100 best sellers on Amazon. This album is so POOR I wouldn't even want to download the songs illegaly. The kids sound like they have NO vocal experience and really butcher the song. I rather listen to the orginal version of songs I hate in the album than these. Don't waste your money, and don't get 10 minutes closer to death listening to the samples.
Justin, 15.

1.0 out of 5 stars Well, August 26, 2005
By 
Brian (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)
This CD exists to sell itself, pure and simple. You could always make a mix of these same songs, and spare some of the torture...Or if the songs are inapropriate, it is probably not an artist your child should be listening too anyway

"Kidz Bop, Vol. 8 [ENHANCED]". Apparently this is an enhanced cd. Hopefully, by ehanced, they mean that this CD has no sound. That would be a big improvement.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Crappy!, August 23, 2005
This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)
The Kidz Bop music CD`s are the worse thing that hit the music stores besides Worship Jamz. And about the kid-friendly songs Lonley No More, Obsession, Rich Girl, Let Me Love You, and other songs are NOT kid-friendly! And I should know because I`m a pre-teen myself and hear most of these songs on Kiss FM and other radio stations that most of the kids at my school listen to. Plus, this is just rushing kids Seriously! In a second a 7-8 year old will go from Barbies and Hot Wheels to strolling down the street in high-heals and a handbag. These crappy CD`s are just giving kids a bad name for singing, just because there`s some stupid CD that claims that their the best thing in the Country. If you want to hear the REAL song buy THIER CD instead of this crappy one.

1.0 out of 5 stars 0 stars!, August 22, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Kidz Bop 8 (Audio CD)
This is the worst music ever! I think the only reason people buy this cd is so they can be happier (laughing because it is so pathetic and funny). The kids sound like they're doing the physical fitness test and yelling at the top of their lungs. Sometimes they are even chanting! It's so stupid that they have a music video. The adult singers sound like they're either rejects form american idol or old farts singing naptime songs. On the commercial, the kids say "It's about fun, music, and me!" They sound so fake. If you watch the commercial in mute, it's funny because the kids are so emotional and bad at mouthing. The (appropriate) lyrics are so dumb. Instead of saying "she was gonna shake her [...]", they say, she was gonna shake it well. Nobody, note even the people who made this cd, likes it.
