Kids LOVE it
Reviewer: Anonymous California USA 12-16-2001
My eight year old daughter BEGGED me to get this CD set. Now we listen to it in the car any time she can convice me to put it in. The music is strange because it sounds just like the original songs, only kids are singing (off-key) in the background or for the chorus. This really makes the kids go wild in the car. I think it encourages them to sing and enjoy themselves even though they don't sound like Brittney Spears.
As for the collection, it is pretty good. I do have to censure (skip) a couple of the songs because the lyrics are too racey. But for the most part, I find myself actually enjoying the tenth playing of "I'm blue, da-ba-dee, da-ba-dye." I would recommend this CD to parents.

An Unsettling, but Entirely Useful Power
Reviewer: Charles Henry Higgensworth Boston, Massachusetts 01-28-2003
This music has an instantly hypnotic impact on any child in earshot. The opening strains of any Kidz tune immediately quiets the most restless members of the twins' playgroup, as if a subsonic chord added in the studio has activated a reptilian part of the brain that atrophies away before adolescence. Queue up "Steal my Sunshine" and watch the most rambunctious pack of budding anarchists cohere into a docile, glassy-eyed choir, singing tunelessly along with the chorus. We now have three copies of this remarkable sonic sedative - one for the home, one for the car, and one tucked away with a portable CD player in Mrs. Higgensworth's purse. Some prefer the original two-CD version of Kidz Bop, still available in some places, which featured an additional twelve tracks that were extirpated from this single-disk release. I believe that songs were purged due largely to the Bohemian nature of their subject matter (e.g. "She's So High" and "Kiss Me"), however some apparently fell victim to the vicissitudes of fashion (e.g. "MmmBop," as Hansen is now laughably passé even in under-five circles). All told the single-CD version is a better choice for parents on a budget, or for those merely wishing to forestall the inevitable day when their children start singing odes to controlled substances and the like.

What a POS!!!!!!!!!!
Reviewer: KOSTOFMSIC 09-05-2005
Yes, I agree with everyone else here that this is the biggist piece of SH** that I have heard. for those who want to know who the idiots are that released this album and predecessors are. They are a label called RAZOR & TIE. Plese don't buy this for ur kids as this is not appropriate for them in the first place

Whose Idea was this???????
Reviewer: googly eyes Boston, MA 08-23-2005
Seriously, the adults singing the leads sound really, really, REALLY awful!!!!! The guy singing All The Small Things sounds like (and I'm very, very, VERY sorry if this offends anyone) B.B. KING AFTER HE SWALLOWED A CAT AND GOT RUN OVER BY A KETCHUP TRUCK. And did you hear what they did to the guitar riffs? They killed them and and now this whole song is lying shriveled on the floor with a pool of blood around it. I'm serious.

PARENTS: DON'T BUY THIS FOR YOUR KIDS. MOST OF THESE SONGS ARE NOT THE LEAST BIT APPROPRIATE FOR THEM. I KNOW YOU COULD JUST SKIP OVER THEM, BUT IF THEY'RE SMART THEY'LL KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND EVENTUALLY LISTEN TO THOSE SKIPPED SONGS THEMSELVES. IF YOUR KIDS ARE BEGGING FOR THIS AFTER THEY SAW SOME KIND OF AD, THEN TELL THEM THAT IT'S REALLY NOT THAT GOOD AND GET THEM SOMETHING BY THE BEATLES INSTEAD. OR, BETTER YET, GET THEM CLASSICAL MUSIC, BECAUSE THAT MAKES THEM INTELLIGENT.

WHY WAS THIS CRAP EVER PUT OUT TO THE EARTH!!!!!
Reviewer: googly eyes 08-10-2005
OUT OF ALL THE CDS IN THE KIDZ BOP SERIES, THIS ONE DISTURBED ME THE MOST. I CAN'T TAKE IT. WHEN YOU MESS WITH SMASH MOUTH, NSYNC, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS AND ESPECIALLY THE BACKSTREET BOYS, YOU HAVE CROSSED MY LIMIT OF SANITY. IF THEY EVER PUT OUT ANOTHER CD, I WILL BUY IT, AND SHOOT IT TO DEATH WITH A BIG RIFLE!!! THEY HAVE KILLED MUSIC AND HAVE TOYED WITH THE BELOVED BACKSTREET BOYS. THE PEOPLE SINGING THEIR SONG SOUND AWFUL!!!! AN ELECTRIC DRILL SOUNDS BETTER THAN THIS!!!!! I PRAY THEY WILL STOP THE MADNESS! BOYCOTT KIZ BOP!!! FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL THANK YOU FOR IT!

*takes a deep breath*

In conclusion, DO NOT EVER BUY THIS CD. YOUR WALLET WILL THANK YOU.

The one that started the whole nightmare
Reviewer: Anonymous 07-17-2005
Kiddos making gay songs like "Bye Bye Bye" and "Oops...I Did it Again" even gayer! I would rather have rusted nails shoved into my eardrums then listen to this POS. DO NOT BUY THIS! If you are wondering how bad this is, just listen to the clips.

PS: To the people who are giving this 5 stars and saying, "I'm an ugly, single mother and my 5-year old loves this!" why don't you buy your kids decent music for once?

Kidz Bop not so great...
Reviewer: Anonymous 07-15-2005
Or as Tommy Hilfiger would say Out Of Style. First of all why would any parent would want to buy any of these Kidz Bop albums? Because they want their kids to outgrow the babyish songs and start listening to much older kids music. I own some of the Kidz Bop albums and when I listened to them I was shocked at how some songs might be alright for some kids but not all of them. Take for instance Kidz Bop's version of No Doubt's hit Hey Baby has a lyric about a type of tea that some kids don't know about. And also in the version of Survivor in Kidz Bop 2 contains some lyrics that I do not think a six year old can listen to. And finally why in Kidz Bop 4 did they cover The Ketchup Song? People do not understand the words and I do not think a five year old can listen to it. Why I think this series was made was because of an idea for Razor And Tie to make money and to appeal to parents of young children. So this title along with the rest of Kidz Bop should be avoided at your own risk

Hello. I am Number 89 from the Kids Next Door. We are fighting the evil force known as "Kidz Bop". NEVER, EVER buy Kidz Bop. It is a plot to brainwash your kids and make them MINDLESS SLAVES OF FATHER AND THE DELIGHTFUL CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!! Please believe me. If you listen to me and don't buy this you will save more than one kid's life.

THIS CD SUCKS!!!!!
Reviewer: Shanica "Pookie" Crest Hill, ill USA 07-09-2005
This is the worst cd ever!!!! It's just kids making another version of somebody else's song. It's stupid.

Ohhh please!
Reviewer: E. Agerton 06-07-2005
Ok, for all of you that hate this CD let me just say that is your opinon. What did you expect from a CD made for kids by kids. As for the lyrics of some of the songs, I am fine with them. Most kids don't hear the lyrics and think as we do. The ones I have seen think "I'm not that innocent" in a kid manner (being bad and getting in trouble) not in an adult manner. Both my kids enjoy listening to these CD's and I like listening with them. I knew what to expect when I bought them so I was prepared for the off key singing at times. Over all the kids on the CD did an excellent job! I say BRAVO! Encore! Encore! Let's see some of you get out there and do what these kids have!

Kidz Bop
Reviewer: C. Shea 03-19-2005
Well I think they are very good songs. Yes some of the kids are ok singers but what if you want all those songs should you have to buy that many CDs to get all those songs. NO This is a very good album with all kinds of good songs with singers that aren't all that great. So I would say yes you should buy this if you like good music and can stand a few not so good voices. People that say if you buy this you lack intelligence well they are the ones that are being stupid and missing out on good music

Yuck!
Reviewer: Anonymous 10-20-2005
Parents, I advise you to buy Radio Disney instead of Kidz Bop. On the just-as-clean Radio Disney CDs, your children will be able to listen to their favorite songs WITH THEIR FAVORITE ARTISTS singing them. And when I say this, I am being 100% truthful, your kid's chances of getting picked on at school will rocket if your child's friends find out that he/she listens to...ugh...Kidz Bop. I'm surprised it doesn't get on parents' nerves, since so many ACTUAL KIDS complain about it. The adults singing are bad enough without a group of kids for back-up. If your child wants to hear kids sing that badly, tell them that asking your friends to sing is a lot cheaper, and they'll probably sound better.

KIDZ BOP KIDS: Kids with talent and an EXCELLENT album
Reviewer: Marcelo Esteban Mauricio San Justo, Buenos Aires, Argentina 10-10-2004
I've heard the song "Livin' la vida loca" by Ricky Martin around a thousand times on the radio, but never done by kids. So I decided to search Kazaa for "Kidz Bop Kids" and there it was, the same song done by kids... with talent. Actually, it's not only kids: There's an adult lead singer, too.

I've just bought this album through this site a couple of minutes ago and I think it'll be a nice start for my Kidz Bop collection. Then, upon receipt of the CD, I'll see if the performers themselves can give me the other five.

I like Kidz Bop Kids because the kids are so good! I now happen to know one of them, because I chatted with him a few times through the MSN Gaming Zone. When we first chatted, the kid was sooooooo nice that I immediately put him into my ZoneFriends list.

KIDZ BOP KIDS - Kids with talent and an EXCELLENT album

I want to add that I've been a fan of the KIDZ BOP KIDS since I heard their version of Ricky Martin's "Livin' la vida loca". Well done, Kidz Bop Kids!

Thanks for letting me share my thoughts with everyone. The CD arrived and it's quite good.
Thanks, Kidz Bop Kids! I love you!

Not Good
Reviewer: Anonymous 08-12-2005
THIS IS HORRIBLE!

The children are horrible singers with no talent at all. If anyone was to buy this i would say they lack intelligence.
You are better of buying almost any other various artists cd or buying the oringal singers cds. They sing so bad that they don't even reveal who they are.

This is a splindid collection
Reviewer: Anonymous 08-11-2005
This is just a SPLINDID collection of works by J.S. Bach. Peformed by stupid kids. These kids ruin the PIMPINESS that Bach had. This is still a SPLINDED collection of Bachs works though. Buy this PIMPIn collection of the Pimp Johann Sebastian Bach Pimp.

Think Of Your Kids Please
Reviewer: Anonymous Ohio 08-08-2004
Having listened to this with my 7 and 9 year old nieces, I can honestly say that this CD has little to no redeeming value. I could actually put up with this for less than 15 minutes if the songs were cleaned up, but they're not! Also worth noting is these children's deafening lack of vocal talent and the bland-sounding adult "vocalists". If you want decent, clean music for your children that is truly clean and won't make you insane, then buy Warner Brothers' "Space Jam" soundtrack, Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" and "Brother Bear" soundtracks, or Dreamworks' "Shrek", "Anastasia", and "Shrek 2" soundtracks. Just not this. Think of the kids, please.

R.I.P. Little Johnny's Ears

My Son Jonathan is a good boy, he dose what hes told and he eats all of his vegtables except for carrots, he is alergect to carrots. Johnny bought this cd because he has down syndrome and dosent know any better, it was so bad he cut off his ears, and he bleeded and it was funny. But Kids Bop is evil do not buy this cd unless you are retarted.

This is the worst ever. All my friends think so. Its nothing but kareoke. Dont waste your money on this you will be so sorry!
I recomend NOW cds.

Leave the hit songs to the professionals!
Reviewer: Preston L. Moreaux North Carolina 05-24-2004
I heard some of the songs on Kids Bop in the TV commercial--The renditions of those hit songs were not good. Let's face it, they're doing versions of some very expensive productions from those big name artists. Sadly, they sound cheap, as if they recorded it on some karaoke machine instead of live. And only Britney Spears should sing "Oops I Did It Again," not have some kids sing along to it. I know this is an attempt to make these familiar pop songs clean for the kids, but kids get into music pretty quick these days. They know every song and lyric, line and chorus, and hum to every 22-second section of these songs.
I know that the KIDZ BOP series has been successful in the sales, but leave the hit songs to the professionals--they know how to do it right, no matter how good, crazy, bizarre, explicit, funny, bland, magnificent or superb that they make it. Have your kid listen to a NOW 15 compilation, an '80s compilation album or an artist's album instead!

Oh no! Bad music
Reviewer: Preston L. Moreaux 01-03-2004
This music is worse than a Michael Jackson and Macy Gray duet. They think its cool adding a Z at the end makes it cool, they stole that from Nissan! This music is the axis of evil. Children agree, they'd rather drink pee! As you see you should trust me! Compare my lame ryme to kidz bop, uh oh says the telletubbies, kidz bop is on Tinky Winkie's tummy again. help me help me and the other telletubies destroy the tv. Lala is happy as lala will sing an ever adorable tune. Cuter than this crap! Listen to telletuby tunes instead. You'll love the magic of raffi. Just don't support this crap. Don't buy it so they will have no more commercials. Kidz Bop Drules! LALALALALA I hate Kidz Bop. My guinea pigs cried from hearing kidz bop.

This CD sucks!!!!!!
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-02-2004
The only thing good about this cd is that they to make Brittany Spears' song sound better.

THIS CD SUCKS!!!
Reviewer: Rob 12-29-2003
The singing on this cd is really pathetic. You're better off buying the Now cd's, 'cause at the original artists sing the songs better. This cd is a cheap knock off for the same price as a GOOD greatest hits cd. Don't buy this crap. If your kids wanna sing along with Britney Spears or Avril Lavigne, get them a karoke machine.

How About Kidz Flop?
Reviewer: Anonymous 12-28-2003
The reason I said "Kidz Flop" in sub. 4 "Kidz Bop" is the way commercializers give us consumers a bad name! What do I mean? When I lis10ed 2 the 1st, 3 songs, those Kidz Bop Kidz with the adults make it a shreiker. Next, an injury was implied when again the Kidz Bop Kidz sung with N'Sync, a bad, pop. group. Finally, an insult was applied 2 injury!! Razor & Tie Co., the co. responsible 4 th@ production are real commercializers masked like a successful robber headed 4 a bank. At10tion!!! Whatever you buy, try not any of Disney Records-rel8ed CD's, but instead try the Tranzworld series.

There is no excuse for this
Reviewer: steven ellingson middle of nowhere, MN, USA 12-22-2003
This is completely awful. Parents, please don't buy your kids this crap. It might seem like a cool idea to have kids sing popular songs, but its just terrible. What age group is this aimed at anyway? Any kid in their teens hopefully would have enough sense in their head not to buy this crap, and the lyrics of the songs aren't really something I'd want my kids listening to. Please just buy your kids the original albums that are actually produced well, with people that can actually sing. And if nobody buys it, maybe they'll quit having the info-mercials on ALL THE TIME. Thanks for passing on this.

Still not appropriate for children!
Reviewer: steven ellingson 11-15-2003
This CD was given to my son as a gift when it first came out (he's 10 now)...though the songs are supposedly aimed towards children, the lyrics have not been changed. There is nothing cute about a preschooler singing Britney's lyrics "I'm not that innocent"...and they also did not change Ricky Martin's lyric "Like a bullet to the brain".
I suppose if you don't mind that your children hear lyrics such as this, the CD would be okay, but since the singing is of poor quality, you might as well just play the artist's original song.

I for one will stick to Raffi, Greg & Steve, Ella Jenkins, and Dr. Thomas Moore for my preschooler!

Whose "bright" idea was it to release this garbage?
Reviewer: IhateMTV 11-08-2003
Take a bunch of songs that were already extremely annoying, add stupid little kids singing the choruses, and what do you have? Kidz Bop. These songs were bad enough when sung by the original artists, but they are just torture to listen to after hearing them come from a bunch of annoying kids. Don't get this album for ANYONE, not even kids.

KIDS BOP... WHAT THE F*U*K !!

hi there, yeah i know this is for kids.. but i just have to laugh ok.. i mean.... have you heard these songs?? they are so horribly re-done, and sung by little b**chy kids with some 40 year old pyscho child molester for a singer. but at the same time i would like to congratulate kidz bop for making songs i already hate 10 times more painful to listen to. and hey you! yeah you think you're all cool with your "z" at the end of kids... yeah.. thats right... what!!! what now!

Don't buy this!
Reviewer: ~*Ellie Avril Freak*~ 09-06-2003
I hate all kids bop cd's! I put 1 star but this cd dosen't even deserve 1 star!!! Kids bop cd's take great songs and make them sound horrible! I have always and always will hate kids bop!
You'd think maybe the kids would atleast TRY to sound good! It's like they make it sound bad on porpose! Even my singing teacher who majored in music thinks the same!

Don't waste your money on this horrible cd! Even adults should know better and most kids don't even like their songs! Don't spend your money, even litsen to the samples, they sound horrible!

Thank you, I hope you don't waste your money,

Yecchhh....
Reviewer: "Eggplant" 07-19-2003
If this is what's considered "good" music these days, than the world truly is coming to an end. REPENT!
You know, most of these songs are horrid enough to begin with. But make the singer some 45-year-old guy from Pig's Knuckle, AR, and add a bunch of whiny kids to the chorus, and you've done the impossible: you've made them even MORE annoying. Why would anyone want to listen to this? (Not to mention any of the albums from this sorry series?) This is about 35 points below "low" in my book. This is a complete insult to all things music. This schlop isn't even deserving of any more of a review than this. I'm through. Next!

This is a cd for *kids*
Reviewer: Anonymous 07-06-2003
It's perfect for kids if you don't want them hearing some originals that have questionable language. No, it's not going to win a Grammy anytime soon, but all the kids in my classes have loved these cds.

Uggh.
Reviewer: Brandon Florida 04-17-2003
Parents, quit being so paranoid and ridiculously politically correct. The kids are completly oblivious to what these lyrics supposedly intend. I'm sure you listened to Purple haze when you were their age. Are you a non-productive member of society? Didnt think so. Your kids are going to hear whatever they want to regardless of how over-bearing you are. Back to the case in hand... I would not reccomend this cd unless you feel like listening to hours of mindless drivel that comes from something besides your own kids.

I'd Rather Stick A Fork In My Eye
Reviewer: Anonymous 02-24-2003
I did not want to get this for my daughter, but it turned up as a present (with Kidz Bop 2) at a birthday party.
As if most of these songs weren't horrible enough - now we got a 40 year old, fat guy singing "Small Things".

Do yourself a favor...if your kid wants this, just download all the REAL songs and burn a CD.

Unbelievably funny (in a terrible way)
Reviewer: Anonymous St Pete, FL 01-29-2003
This is the worst CD I have ever listened to. The songs they pick are pretty decent when done by the original artists. However, I find it hilarious that kids would be singing these songs! Some of them have lyrical content of which pertains to sex and drugs.
THe funniest to me is "steal my sunshine", which sounds so innocent, and the kids are singing with such enthusiasm. In actuality, the song is about LSD and other narcotics. Simply hilarious!

Reviewer: Jill cottrell Fort Bragg, NC 01-25-2003
I was reluctant to buy this because of the reviews I've read, but my girls (5 year old twins) begged me, so I bought it anyway. No, its not the original artists, and the kidz bop kids only come in on the choruses, and its not as good as the original artists-- but the Cds are not for me, they're for my kids. The lyrics are easier to understand and my girls really enjoy singing along. I even catch myself singing along with them in the car. The songs are catchy and I much prefer listening to Kidz Bop than other kids songs CDs. My girls feel "cool" because they can sing "grown up songs" and they just sound so darsh-gone cute belting out these lyrics :) Kidz Bop gets an A+ from me-- we also purchased Kidz Bop 2, and are planning on purchasing Kidz Bop 3.

Great CD for the kidz and adults too.
Reviewer: Michael Gallagher Upper Darby, Pa. United States 01-22-2003
I borrowed this CD from a friend of mine and within days I wound up ordering my own, and as soon as I knew the second one came out I purchased along with the Christmas one. All three CD's have been great and my daughter (6 years old) and I saw the commercial for KIDZ BOP3 and of course it was a must to order, in fact I liked the first two so much I ordered more than one of the third one for my nieces and nephews. This is an awesome gift item for kids who love music. I like how all the songs are clean and you don't have to worry about what is coming on next like you have to when listening to the radio. The radio now and days have some songs that aren't appropriate for minors and here with KIDZ BOP, your child can listen to all the hot hits being performed from kids on their own level. It is great, I recommend it for everyone.

This "C.D." Totally STINKS!
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-21-2003
These songs will give anyone who listens to them a huge headache. "Kidz" just sing the chorus, and adults sing everything else, but these are not people who would ever become famous for singing. I don't see what the point is of saying that kids sing these songs when it's mostly adults. But they sound like cows stuck under a gate- awful. Sheesh, these people drove me NUTS. There's no point to this at all, who needs amatuers singing bad remakes of songs that real artists worked hard to sing. ...

Oh god...
Reviewer: Anonymous 01-18-2003
this cd is great-as a frisbee that is. Sheesh! I heard the ad and thought it'd be great. THAT was when i missed the 'kidz' singing.
I bought the cd, listened to it, and returned it. The songs are great, but the 'kidz' are BBBBBBBAAAAADDDD. They totally [destroyed] the songs! You could buy this cd but it's a waste of money.
C'mon. I have an older sister and she keeps me up-to-date. She says the 'kidz' singing [is lame] and I agree.

A Hit with my 3-Year-Old Twins, But....
Reviewer: Anonymous Honolulu, HI United States 12-06-2002
Truth is, my boy/girl twins who are 3 years old, really enjoy this CD. We bought it due to their interest in the enticing advertisements on television which show children dancing around singing cheerfully to pop "hits." My son has long appreciated Smash-Mouth's "All-Star" and since these tracks are slower versions of the originals, the lyrics are more easily heard. My son now proudly performs his dramatic and adorable version of the song with correct and complete lyrics for all 3 verses. My daughter, to my chagrin, loves to belt out the lyrics to "Oops! I did it again!" formerly by Brittney Spears. This has been a mixed blessing for us. On one hand, my kids really like the upbeat songs, and the (mostly) easily undertood lyrics. On the other hand, they rarely listen to Top 40 music, and would never have otherwise been exposed to the lyrics of some of these songs were it not for this CD. For this, I now regret buying it. Some song choices are questionable at best, like the one song with lyrics that say, "I steal your honey like I stole your bike." and the song with lyrics that say, "I'm not that innocent." or the other songs mentioned in previous reviews. While it may be charming that my 3 year old son performs his favorite song to everyone he meets, singing, "So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go...." it is horrifying to watch my 3 year old daughter sing, "I'm not that innocent!"
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!

Geat Title
Reviewer: "raoweena" 10-23-2002
It is not exactly a CD of kids singing, but rather it has adults usually singing the lead, with kids dropped in on the chorus of the songs.

Stars given only for the song choices
Reviewer: progamer124 Detroit, MI USA 10-18-2002
All I can say is "wow". This is worth getting just to hear their rendition of Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" - I never thought I'd hear a crowd of kids singing lyrics like "Like Sting I'm tantric, like Snickers guaranteed to satisfy," or "Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon, Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes, That make me think the wrong thing."
Oh yes, and we also have the wonderful "Livin La Vida Loca", a song almost entirely about sex... but hey, if we make it a bit more poppish, and add little kids for singers, we got wholesome family entertainment....

Just thought I'd point out the irony in the songs here. By the way, the 2 stars are there for sheer humor, rather than for any sort of quality.

back to the old tried, tired and tested formula again?
Reviewer: happy jack 09-21-2002
After the expansive, psychadelic explorations of their last long play, they're back to the usual 45 second songs, cookie-monster vocals and gutteral, wounding guitars. "oops, i slayed your family with a loose snag of tree and feasted upon what would've been forensic evidence" is a slightly self-parodic look upon the genre they helped create, but the rest of the songs here are of no melodic or rhythmnic worth.

Got it! Love it!

Yes, I am a mother and no, I'm not a music expert. I purchased this for my daughter after seeing how much my nephew enjoyed it. BINGO! It was a hit. She likes it over Barney, and all the other 'Kids' songs and her dad and I enjoy it too!
For those of you that gave it a low rating, trying thinking of the audience that this music was intended for.

thisw cd should be purchased only if u would like to have a shiny new frisbee with a rainbow design on one side.The so called kidz bop singers usually only sing in the backround with the main singers that sound like 40-something has-been "artists" that sound like they are in great pain. The songs were butchered by these terrible poeple and i am both shocked and bewildered by the fact that all these artists allowed this record company to make such a horrible collection of their "music"
in conclusion...i would only buy this if i needed a decorative coaster to rest my cofee
p.s. soccer moms watchout i heard another ones coming out soon

This CD is truly BAD. The commericials are really annoying, too. They say that the so-called "Kidz-Bop Kidz" (who ever they are) sing the songs. Uh-uh. They are usually back-up singers. A bunch of people (most likely people who could not make it in the music idustry for beans) sing the songs. Let me tell ya, if you really think you are not pop-culturally deaf, then by NOW or another anthology that at least has people who can sing.

My kids love it!!!

And I don't have to worry about language and content. My 8 and 9 year olds can listen to "grown up" music without all the trash. We're ready to order Kidz Bop 2. For those parents who think it's not your cup of tea, just remember...it beats the heck out of Barney!

kids bop can kiss my ass

I heard them make fun of Very very popular songs on the television... and I ripped some of my hair out because of it. All theses little Shits do is Insult Popular artists. Those kids need To realise that Adults sing better than abunch of Immature Brats. Also, Some kids shouldnt be singing those songs on there. What the hell do they do with the songs with innapropriate language for them?!. I mean god fucking damn it, i am fed up with it.... The person who made it, is going to hell when he dies.

Complete S**T
Reviewer: Anonymous California 12-15-2006
This CD is complete BS. Most of them are stupid, inapropriate songs sung by 3rd-grade-choir drop outs

it is extremely horrible and may be harmful to your health to listen to
