Music reviews of Kidz Bop

Music Review: A Hit with my 3-Year-Old Twins, But....
Rating: 3 Stars

As for the quality of the recordings, be forewarned: the songs are not entirely sung by children as the advertisements might lead you to believe. They are primarily sung by adult vocalists (different for each song) with the children singing back-up on the chorus. This was a fact NOT LOST on my 3 year old son, who announced that these songs weren't really "KidzBop Songs" but really, "PeoplezBop Songs" since the kids didn't always sing. They are slower, watered-down, more generic, and less interesting versions than the originals, and while my kids really like this CD, they have liked all of the CD's bought especially for them, to include KidSongs, 'One Magical Night' by Russ Bono, the exquisite 'Counting Sheep' by Colin Raye, 'Return to Pooh Corner' by Kenny Loggins, 'A Playdate with Blue', and a truly delightful musical CD featuring songs from the Dragon Tales PBS TV show.

In retrospect, I wish I had known all of the songs on this CD before purchasing it, or I wish I had at least known all of the lyrics to the songs I *thought* I knew on this CD. I wouldn't have ever bought it. While this may be appropriate for older children, at the point the lyrics become appropriate, children of that age group would not be interested in this anymore. I would say this is NOT really appropriate for very young children, at least those under 5 due to lyrics and song choice.

Remember the advertised suggestion that parents will enjoy listening to this music as much as their children? Three words: Don't Buy It!
