i think thosescds suck...its some non singing people singing with some non singing children and ruining perfectly fine songs that are already out on cd that dont need re-recording because they're already songs...now if they were making new songs to appeal to younger kis id understand but jus re-singin alrady made songs with people thatcant sing...is worse than karaoke, cover songs, and remixes

I absolutely hate these cd's. It drives me nuts.
They are little kids singing songs they don't even understand. When I was that age I only listened to music that had a really good beat or a chorus that gets stuck in your head.
Imagine when they grow up. "Oh, I forgot to write I was in kidzbop on my resume(sp?)".

Oh man, I'm reading a lot of negative reviews. I don't have the CDs myself, but I listened to the clips provided on Amazon.

If I may so correct as to provide my 2 cents worth and generalise. I think the Kids have potential and some sort of entertainment value ONLY and ONLY if they were doing something original and something kiddy, cos the genre and difficulty of the popular songs they have chosen to dabble in are over them. And that is no surpirse. Why? Cos most kids can't pull such a stunt successively without sounding too trying. I guess if one were to listen to this for pure Kids songs pleasures and looking for the nature of the ensemble to be exploited, one would be extremely disappointed.

However having said all that, I do believe that there is some entertainment value in their songs. Though as I must reiterate again that the quality could be enhanced if it were 1. pure kids singing without those adult voices, 2. origianl songs that suit them. I mean, being a singer for 7 years and having a grade 8 in voice, I believe singing has to come from the heart. What of kids so young who sing about love and relationship problems experienced by the adult song writers. I think that's why people are disappointed when they hear the songs. Cause the songs are distorted, they do not carry the message! That is a horrible and serious mistake for anything vocal. Yes, the songs they did were bad, but I must remind everyone, hey it was the songs not them.

Now considering I'm ranting about their choice of songs, who chose the songs? The directors. They deserve to be sacked and replaced with more capable people who can exploit the full potential of children and use the ensemble to its natural advantage. e.g. A symphonic orchestra, a gospel choir, and a rock band or have different natural advantages and better naturally at sending out certain messages and performing certain kind of songs.

In conclusion, SONG choices are extremely important. To any budding singer out there, you can only sing a song as well as you can up to a certain standard. Now to hit the barrier, you must testify with the song, not because you have went through the same experiences as the song speaks of, or those of the songwriter but because as a performer, a singer, you are able to put on that expression and feel it (even though its artificial) you feel it and make it most real. This is just like the fact that the best writers need not believe in what they are writing, but their readers do!

I think the kids have not reach a performing standard as that above to do something they have not experienced first hand and yet make it sound endearing

I, personally, absolutly cringe whenever I hear those commercials on TV. I mean, come on.....hearing Franz Ferdianand's "Take Me Out" sung by a whole bunch of little kids makes me hate that song, even when I hear the real version on the radio!!

Seriously, what's next? "Question" by System of a Down? "Dr. Feelgood" by Motley Crue?? Instead of sticking with the crappy pop music that's infesting MTV, they're starting to hit the better mainstream bands. They can rip off as many boy / girl band songs as they want....they all suck to begin with, let these kids promote just how sucky the songs are......but so help me, if by kids bop 11, they're doing "Enter Sandman", I will start listening to country music....and I HATE country music.....but it would sure beat jamming my fingers into my ears everytime their commercials come on

I'm a singer as well and I'm about the age of these kids and I was sick once and their commercial came on and in the middle of it I had to run to the bathroom and throw up...lol it was sorta funny but sucked at the time cause I coud hear the kids in the background and I didn't stop throwing up...lol

Anyways, I find it annoying and I bought a cd once and I hated it! I burt the cd after three songs of listening to it...ick

Agreeable. But nowdays people strive for money in all ways--legal or not. You think the companies that make these products enjoy them? Probably not, especially in this case.

Also, commericals are becoming less professional as we speak. The people making commericals for college and young business companies are terrible at that state, and hire terrible actors to do things.
