Kidz Bop, Vol. 8 [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
If punk hero Ted Leo can get away with covering Kelly Clarkson's "Since You Been Gone," lord knows the monster-selling Kidz Bop crew can. The punk version is arguably a lot more interesting, but if you're a 7-year-old, this squeaky-clean stab at it works just as well. Apologies to U2, Green Day, Gwen Stefani and a small army of other genuinely cool modern popsters, but the rest of these renditions will find few detractors under age 10, too. The producers of this series know better than to futz with their formula: Kidz want their Bop as badly as their parents' generation once wanted their MTV, and 8 delivers. New with this installation is an enhanced component--pop it into your computer, and a video for "Since U Been Gone" will further assault your grown-up sensibilities. --Tammy La Gorce

School of Schlock........2006-09-02

Well, it's a tribute to capitalism I suppose that here we have the 8th, and not final, CD in a series that only about 3% of those who hear it don't hate. So, who exactly is the market for this stuff? Is is all just parents who think they are buying one thing and end up getting something else? With each new CD there is a new crop of moms with three-year-olds just discovering music, and somehow these moms get suckered into buying this? Why do the used copies of this cost more than a buck?

Anyway, my wife borrowed this at the library and I woke up this morning to this cra...uh...stuff playing on my three-year-old's CD player (usually reserved for Beach Boys and Barney tunes). It sounded different from what he usually listens to so I listened to a few songs while I was waking up over my morning coffee.

Talk about creepy! All these angst driven songs about stuff my little guy has no concept of and hopefully some stuff he never will. What parent would buy this CD for a child knowing what's on it?

Anyway, I reserve my right as a parent to let my child have a childhood. He can wait until his teenage years to be a rebel and listen to music I hate, and even then I'll draw a line somewhere. I just didn't want to deal with this stuff during the present decade.

I just can't believe people buy his! It's like my little brother and his friends screaming in front of the PC microphone with the original songs as background music. They're just killing the artists. Green Day, U2, Avril Lavigne, Franz Ferdinand, Kelly Clarkson....there's no way I would ever enev consider about buying this thing.

Are you people really gonna tell me that these kids can sing? I bet they're just a bunch of kids whose parents aren't working and they need money for food!!

Please don't even try the music sampler, or your ears could suffer pretty serious damage, I mean it, that's what's happening to me now!!!

I was babysitting, and the kid was listening to the CD, and asked why Billie Joe sounded so sick. XD

We LOVE the Kidz Bop CD's. They're run and a great way to pass the time in the bath or dancing around for the kids. THey're fun and allow the kids to sing a long. Just GREAT.

HORRIBLE!!.......2006-07-16

This cd sounds like a bunch of 8-year-olds screaming. I like most of the original songs, but they are sung increadible badly by young kids. Most of these songs are meant to be sung by only one person, but the "Kidz Bop Kids" have about 10 people singing them at once. DO NOT BUY THIS CD!!! I'd give this 0 stars if I could, but there isn't an option for that.
