The music on this CD is spunky, catchy, and unoffensive. My daughter is at an in-between stage as far as music goes - too old for Barney and the Wiggles, but too young for Britney and Avril. This CD proved to be the perfect middle ground.

Both my 6 year old daughter & I know all the lyrics to all the songs by now, so I often sing along with a minivan full of her kindergarten friends. Now, how much longer will she let me do that?

1. Call Me Beep Me-This is the reason I bought this CD. I was watching KP one day and I couldn't get that song outta my head!(10/10) (Time: 2:36)
2. It's Just U-Not one of my faves but it's still nice to listen to. From the episode "All The News". (8.5/10) (2:35)
3. I'm Ready-I never listened to this song except the day I bought it. I didn't really care for this. (7/10) (??)
4. Get Up On Ya Feet-Ummmm....Not much to say about this song. (9/10) (3:18)
5. Celebration-Jump5 is 1 of my fave groups of alltime! I LOVE this remake of an oldies song. Another remake they did was EarthWind&Fire's "Shining Star" on The Lizzie Mcguire Movie sondtrack. (10/10) (3:17)
6.Say The Word-This is 1 of my faves on this CD. I'd heard it on the Disney Channel and I thought "I gotta have that song." I wish that there were more songs by CCR on 8it though cuz she is a really good singer! (10/10) (2:50)
7.Summertime Guys-Not one of my faves but still worth listening to. (8.5/10) (3:04)
8.This Year-I love this song & I love ATeens. Who is the girl singing lead?? (10/10) (2:52)
9.Work It Out-I got this CD 3 weeks ago & I still havent listened to this song. I heard the ist of it & I hated it so I skipped to the next song. (6/10) (???)
10.E Is 4 Everybody-I like this but not 1 of my faves, this is a REALLY long song (see time). (8.5/10) (5:45!!!!!)
11.ComeOn Come On-The 1st time I heard this song was on Big Fat Liar in the opning scene. I liked the song. (9/10) (2:30)
12 Naked Mole Rap-I heard this on Disney Channel & I thought it was so CUTE! (10/10) (3:28)
13. Call Me Beep Me Remix-Not as good as the original but funkier and dancier(is that a word?). (9.5/10) (4:38)
Overall this is a GREAT CD!!!!!!!11

I have a 5-year-old daughter who is in love with KP. For me, KP sure beats a "Disney Princess" as a role model. Despite the fact that my kid was raised on decidedly "non-Pop" tunes, she loves this CD and plays it whenever she can. The songs are mostly about friendship and helping, so that's good. There are a few about boys and love, which is OK I guess, but I'm sure she could care less about them at this age. Anyway, the songs are somewhat infectious and you may be hearing them in your head while you are at work, despite yourself.

I was kinda doubtful about buying this for my girls, but I gave in, and after listening a few times I have to give it a decent rating. I'm not familiar with the artists featured, but there's nothing objectional on the CD, and the music is fun and danceable.

I'm a teacher and I let my students listen to this CD on Fridays. They absolutely love it! They really like "Call Me Beep Me," "Celebration," and "The Naked Mole Rap." "The Naked Mole Rap" has become their favorite! They even think the class hamster looks like a naked mole rat!

INTRODUCTION
The Kim Possible series focuses on the life of Kim Possible, a young girl who fights crime as a secret agent. She is aided in this endeavor by her sidekick, Ron Stoppable, and the resident genius, Wade. Kim Possible is able to foil the plans of numerous villains and still do her homework and participate in cheerleading. The hit series, which airs weekly on both ABC Kids and The Disney Channel, now has a soundtrack that includes numerous songs from the show.

SONG SELECTION
In general, the soundtrack includes mainly pop songs. They are performed by a variety of artists ranging from Aaron Carter to Smash Mouth. They include two versions of Kim Possible theme song, "Call Me, Beep Me!", as well as eleven other songs. Each song is able to focus on a different aspect of the series and work well to give the show a cohesive feel. Furthermore, with the exception of the first and last tracks, all the songs are unique. In fact, even the two versions of the theme song are different. While both versions are sung by Christina Milian, the second version is a remix by Tony Phillips. This remix adds sound effects and sound bites from the show in order to give the song an entirely new feel.

SONG QUALITY
The song quality of the Kim Possible Soundtrack is very good. Most of the songs were very catchy and appealing. Even a few of the songs I wasn't so fond of grew on me with repeated listening. Even so, there were a few songs that I was not entirely thrilled with. "This Year", which was performed by the A*TEENS, was a bit too high pitched for my taste. Despite the fact that the entire group range in age from only 19-20 years old, they sound as though they are only 12 or 13. Another song I was not impressed by was "Work It Out" by Brassy. While the song has a good beat and excellent instrumental performances, the lyrics were less satisfying. While these songs were the worst of the bunch, most of the songs were very good. I particularly liked the remix of "Call Me, Beep Me!", "Celebration" a remake by the group Jump 5, "Come On, Come On" from Smash Mouth's Astrolounge album, and especially "The Naked Mole Rap". Jump 5's remake was exceptionally well done and true to the original. "Come On, Come On" adds a slightly different style to the album's overall pop feel. Finally the highlight of the album was actually "The Naked Mole Rap", which was performed by Ron Stoppable and Rufus, two characters from the series. This song was extremely hilarious and fun to listen to.

OVERALL
Fans of the Kim Possible series are likely to be thrilled with what the soundtrack has to offer. Even those who have never seen the TV show, but who want something catchy and energetic to listen to are likely to be pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend purchasing this soundtrack.

I loved Kim's title song Call Me,Beep Me Plus the Remix of that Song,Call Me Beep Me.I also loved The Naked Mole Rap.I didn't know Will ? could rap I enjoyed it,and the pictures are cute,too!

The cd is good, all the songs are, I'm not saying it's bad. I love all of them, especially Call Me, Beep Me. But I really think Christie Carlson Romano should have a CD of her own: she has that awesome singing voice.

MY FRIENDS AND I ADORE THESE SONGS. I SWEAR, WE SPENT ALL NIGHT SITTING IN MY ROOM LISTENING TO TRACK SEVEN FOR, WHAT, 3 YEARS! AND WE STILL LOVEIT!!!! ESPECIALLY 1,7, 10, AND 12! SO HAPPY! WE NEED THE KARAOKE NOW!!! HAHAHAHA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS CD! IF THE RATING SYSTEM WASN'T LIMITED TO JUST 5 STARS, I WOULD GIVE IT A BAJILLION!!! WE <3 THIS ALBUM!

Kim Possible, Ron Stoppable...but the real star is Rufus, the naked mole rat. The CD is very good. My 5 1/2 year old loves it and I can listen to it without wanting to pull out what little hair I have left.
