Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Despite your best efforts to elbow them aside, Britney and her belly-baring ilk are bound to hustle your 6- to 12-year-old up the steps of the Teenybopper Express before you'd like. Records like this one, which represent the final frontier in parent-picked music, won't slam on the brakes, but they can cause a detour in an uncorrupt and mildly cool direction. Top Pop reinterprets 14 chartbusters that have or will trickle into kids' (actually, everybody's) consciousness, from '70s chestnuts like "Y.M.C.A." to more au courant confections such as "Who Let the Dogs Out" and "Kryptonite," striking objectionable swear words along the way. And all respect to Pink ("Get the Party Started"), Destiny's Child ("Survivor"), and Aerosmith ("Theme from Spider-Man"), these 10- to 16-year-old performers step up with a swagger. Attitude pours out of "Pop" and "How I Beat Shaq," and 11-year-old Morgan Burke, the only child to get double-billing here, puts the bark in "Who Let the Dogs Out" and "I Want You Back" (plus, he practically demands comparison with the pre-moonwalk Michael Jackson). If "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" score a wimpy 1 on your kids' music-ratings scale, and J Lo's pushing the limits of 10, Top Pop is a respectable 6.5 or 7. It's cool, but it's a compromise--the reasonable way to rock your kids without rocking the boat. --Tammy La Gorce
