If you are like me, and you are tired of buying `kid's music' that you are embarrassed to listen to with your child, then check out Road Trip, the latest CD from Boston-based `tween sensation Girl Authority. A high energy mix of contemporary and classic hits as well as a handful of brilliant originals, the album features nine super-talented middle school friends from the Boston area who sing and dance like they are having the time of their lives.

Road Trip is packed with fourteen terrific contemporary covers including Rascal Flatt's chart-topping `Life Is A Highway," Hoku's "Perfect Day,' and Christina Aguilera's "Here To Stay," as well as such family-friendly 60's, 70's and 80's staples as "Dancin' In The Street,' "The Locomotion," "We Are Family," "Holiday," "Vacation" and "Walking On Sunshine." New material from synthpop legend Vince Clarke - the new single "Let's Get Together" - alterna-rock darling Tanya Donelly - `This Is My Day' - and Cyndi Lauper's inspirational "Shine" round out the package.

Road Trip is a no-risk disk you, and your child, will can enjoy together the whole way through.

This CD is so refreshing! The kids singing seem like nice, regular girls youngsters can look up to. My granddaughter loves to sing and dance, and I hate to have her watching some of the celebrities we have today. I just got her this CD, and she hasn't stopped listening to it. She knows one of the dances they do from the DVD that comes with the CD, and she now performs it for us as she sings along with the CD.

I'm a dad with twin daughters, and I'm thrilled something like this has come along for girls to listen to. I had to buy two copies of Road Trip, because the booklets that come with the CD are like little books about the band members, and each of my daughters wanted her own. The music is catchy and innocent, and (speaking as a dad) I appreciate that the girls in the band dress like young girls and not inappropriately. My daughters like to try to copy the Girl Authority styles, and I'm pleased it's very kid-friendly. It's amazing, too, that these girls in the band are so talented for being so young (I think the youngest is only nine or ten?) Five stars for giving my daughters something positive to look up to!

I bought this for my daughter and it's been in the CD player on repeat since we opened the package. Finally a selection of songs where the lyrics are actually appropriate for little kids. The singers are quite good too. I can actually stand to hear this over and over and over... :) Also, as a bonus, there is a DVD that comes with this CD. It's cute and fun. My daughter is 6 and now a big fan of Girl Authority.

i bought this for my 10 year old niece, she immediately started playing it. I would buy another one if the price was low like this one.

My daughter is a huge fan of this group, and LOVES this new CD. It comes with a free DVD that shows the girls behind the scenes, at rehearsals and in concerts, at photo shoots, etc. They seem like a really cute group of girls -- my daughter and her friends love them. Best of all, I don't cringe when I hear her singing along to the songs -- the lyrics are very kid appropriate -- very different than some of the other songs you hear on the radio. This would be a great Easter gift for a young girl -- I'm ordering more now for my nieces. Enjoy!

My daughter is 11 and she only listened to the CD once. We have seen a lot of this home videos in YouTube. There are a few girls that seem promising but they need better coaching. At this point this is a very amateur group. I can see why little girls like them, so get their CDs if you find them at a low price, but don't expect to see anything like Hannah Montana, the Michalka sisters or Vanessa Hudgens, much less Jojo or Hilary Duff. I am giving 3 stars for the effort. This material is usable, definitively. Have fun with the songs but don't make your kids think this is the best, you would be hurting them and they would see your lack of appreciation when they get older.

It is funny to see the only good reviews were done by people who have only reviewed this CD, and they did it right after the CD was released. See for yourself the dates. They were probably some of the moms of the girls in the group.

I would highly recommend The Broadway Kids, if you are a musical lover and your kids like theater music.

Finally - an album for kids that's really sung by kids. Fanastic New Orleans musicians like Raymond Weber (Harry Connick, Jr.'s drummer) provide the music and 9 talented girls the vocals. Musically diverse, LYRICALLY APPROPRIATE, and full of positive messages. Adults will recognize and enjoy some of these songs too. The free bonus DVD features 5 songs and is also great fun. Deluxe full color booklet takes kids to various cities around the country. Truly family friendly!
