From the airwaves of "the mouse brand" on the AM dial into your home stereo comes a slice of Radio Disney's top cuts. Packaging the high-rotation hits of its very limited playlist, Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 3 is long on teen pop stars and--surprise!--short on substance. That won't make it any less satisfying for your precocious 7 year old who thinks Britney Spears ("Thinkin' About You") is pop music, or that Smash Mouth's "All Star" contains one of the catchiest rock lyrics to hit the mass medium of radio in a long time. With Destiny's Child's "Jumpin' Jumpin' (Party Mix)" and that wacky and annoying "Hampster Dance Song," plus The Vengaboys aerobic workout of "We Like to Party" and other cuts from Vitamin C, Myra, Nobody's Angel, BBMak, Tik 'n Tak, and even the ever-tasty blues-laced Radio Disney station ID (complete with snippets of their affected DJs), Jams Vol. 3 is proof again that contemporary pop music needs to grow up faster than the kids who are listening to it. --Martin Keller

5.0 out of 5 stars How Can You Rate This Less Than 5?, August 18, 2001

By	"paradise_found" (Musicland, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Radio Disney: Kid Jams, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)

I love this CD, just love it. And it's not just for kids, it includes cleaned up versions of popular songs, so the overplayed are now somewhat different, the best tacks are: 1. Back Here/BBMAK- Beautiful song by the popular boy band from the U.K. One of my very favorite boy band song, and the only compliation to feature them! 2. Mamma Mia/A*Teens- My fav A*Teens song. Very simple, but the most powerful vocals and tune of any ABBA cover they've released. 3. All Star/Smash Mouth- Sure they're exploiting us. I still like the song. 4. How Do I Feel [The Burrito Song]- Buy it for this song alone- Hoku is the ultimate pop singer, about 7,000 times better than Britney! I love every part of the song, the lyrics, the melody, the funky Hawaiian sound- you'll love it! 5. Jumpin' Jumpin' [Party Mix]/Destiny's Child- Very different from the girls' release. This one has much cleaner lyrics, but the same tune. Great when you just need a break from the album version. 8. Thinkin' About You/Britney Spears- Not on any other CD except "Baby.. One More Time." I strongly dislike Britney, but this is one of her better songs. 10. Don't Say You Love Me/ M2M- Completely written by the Norweigan pop duo. Beautiful song dedicated to a guy trying to rush them into a relationship. Beautiful song. The other tracks are very overproduced and directed basically at the very young. "Dance With Me" by Debelah Morgan sounds completely wrong, the "Let's make love!" line of the chorus is replaced with "Let's Have Fun!" and it just doesn't gel. A good compliation featuring otherwise hard to find singles. I would have been happier if they would have included the Christina Aguilera "Come On Over/Ven Conmigo" mix, but there's always next time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the other two!, August 21, 2001

By	Erin Jackson (N. MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA) - See all my reviews

This is good for the third series in Radio Disney. My most favorite song is Tik N' Tak's "Upside Down". My other favorite songs on here are "How Do I Feel", "All Star", Jumpin' Jumpin', "Don't Say You Love Me", "Vacation", "Dancing In the Street" and "If you Wanna Dance". The Hampster Dance song is the worst on the entire cd and is a very childish song. I also don't like "Thinking About You" by Britney Spears and it's definitely time for her to start making a new album soon. This CD is good and I can't wait until the Jams Vol. 4 CD comes out in September.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Compilation CD For Kids!, July 13, 2001

By	entertainment lover "entertainmentlover" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Radio Disney: Kid Jams, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)

Most artists albums aren't sutible for all ages. So Disney took some good songs that everyone can hear regardless of what their age is. The songs are: 1. "Back Here" by BBMak- a great song with a catchy tune. 2. "Mamma Mia" by A*Teens- an ok remake of the ABBA classic. 3. "All Star" by Smash Mouth- A good debut single for the group. 4. "How Do I Feel" by Hoku- Don Ho's daughter's current single. 5. "Jumpin' Jumpin'" by Destiny's Child- good beat. 6. "The Hampster Dance"- funny, funny, funny. 7. "Dance With Me (edit)" by Debeleh Morgan- the version for kids 8. "Thinkin' About You" by Britney Spears- a good song. 9. "We Like To Party" by Vengaboys- catchy 10. "Don't Say You Love Me" by M2M- Wonderful song 11. "Vacation" by Vitamin C- A clever tune 12. "Dancing In The Street" by Myra- The best remake ever! 13. "If You Wanna Dance" by Nobody's Angel- A good first single 14. "Uside Down (Edit)" by Tik N' Tak- not bad 15. "Valentino" by Bowling For Soup- not the way I would end it but not bad. The hilight of the album is "Dancing in the Street" performed by Myra. Buy this for anyone under age 13! They'll love it!
