How do you take 18 pretty good-to-great pop songs and make them sound boring and kind of dumb? It's easy -- just give them to the folks who bring you the Kidz Bop series of "songs by kids, for kids." Previous editions have managed to retain some spirit, a little charm, and a bit of the essence of the original tunes. On KIDZ BOP 10, it seems as though everyone just stopped trying. From beginning to end, this one is downright awful. Where to begin? The instrumentation is clichéd and synthesized; the mastering so carelessly handled that it sounds like someone threw a wet towel over the mixes. Even the anonymous singing kids (who are, by the way, never given credit on these CDs), sound like they would rather be doing something else. There's no objectionable lyrical content, of course, but there's also no heart, passion, or soul. And here's the thing: If we all keep buying them, the Kidz Bop people are going to keep making them. So leave this one on the shelf and make mixes with the original versions of songs you think your kids will like, instead. Or better yet, find the karaoke tracks and make your own family recordings. They'll probably sound better, and are guaranteed to be a lot more fun. BUT - I do think you should get this for young kids(maybe 4 to 8 year olds).Read full review
Hello from a mom of an AUTISTIC child who is falling in love w/ music .. She is now 12 and this is an awesome way to get the kids rolling in the happy music songs that are safe, effective , cause and effect of Happiness and Joy for any age kids.. especially those special needs ones out there..I love the idea of a WHOLESOME type of music for kids MP3 and Ipods as well as the old fashioned CD players that are portable and in the computer to the classroom.. i think more time spent in music therapy outways the regular psyco therapy anyday! This is an awesome responsibility to be a parent and bringing on the music from prenatal stages are making a smarter and happie baby and into teens and adults.. I feel this is also a way to a wholesome outlook on life and not thinking of negative things going on in some Teen music and MTV type stuff.. Do they even have Music on MTV anymore/?? LOL ; Oh well check this out.. and keep coming back.. ALSO there is much to be said for the family hour of singing and doing karoke on the computer.. try it you'll like it!Read full review
Why would you want to remake a good song with kids that can't sing, sing it? I know this is made for kids, but why do kids want to listen to this when it's just the same words and rhythm of the original? Why do they want to listen to kids that can't sing? I love most of the REAL songs that are on this volume but it's totally a drag listening to kids sing them. It's not worth it. This is only recommended if you're a 2-7 year old, but if you're older, I recommended the original songs. 1. SOS 1/5 2. Bad Day 0/5 3. Move Along 0/5 4. Because of you 1/5 5. Savin' Me 0/5 6. Unwritten 0/5 7. Be Without You 0/5 8. L.O.V.E 1/5 9. You're Beautiful 1/5 10. Pump It 1/5 11. Where'd You go? 0/5 12. For You I Will (Confidence) 0/5 13. Hung Up 0/5 14. What's Left Of Me 0/5 15. Girl Next Door 0/5 16. Stickwitu 0/5 17. Who Say's You Can't Go Home 1/5 18. Don't Forget About Us 0/5 This is the first F I have made on a reveiw. This is how bad Kids Bop is. Avoid! I wish I could give this 0 stars. Jordan Overall grade* FRead full review
This cd is sure to please your younger child such as my 5 and 8 year old. But its not easy listening for us parents, but remember its for kids made by kids! So if your looking for the real deal than this is not your ideal cd but if your kids like the samples as mine did than what can I say the'll probably love this disc!
My granddaughter loves music and if she tells me it is good then I trust her judgment. She is now 8 and got this cd for her birthday. She loved it, and plays it all the time in her cd player. I like some of the songs myself and it has an upbeat feeling about it. I would recommend this cd to adults as well since the music is good and has all different artist on it...thanks, keep up the good work....Grandmom Steckley
