Does Kids Bop suck...

I wouldn't be surprised if they put Crazy Rap by Afroman on their next CD.

How about "White & Nerdy"?

^Nah, they'd have to get 2 different copyrights cleared for that track.

List of songs on the Kidz Bop albums - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You can see for yourselves the good songs that were butchered, the bad songs that should've never been rerecorded, and the inappropriate songs that the 7-year-old singers either didn't need to hear or just plain couldn't possibly understand.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The Real Slim Shady is a song they do?

ON THE NEXT KIDS BOP....
Does your bling hang low, does it wobble to and fro, does it.... oh you know where I'm getting at!

I can't stand Kidz Bop. I remember, many years ago, my cousin had the second one, and let me listen to it.

I still remember the horror.

Oh well, it's kinda funny. Like a trainwreck, it's horrible, but you can't look away.

I hope someday they do a cover of Toybox's Bestfriend, just so maybe some little kid will ask their parents what it's about.

There are worse things.

I unserstand that anyone that allows their songs into these will be turning new fans to the good stuff, but children should not be allowed to sing EVER.

I wouldn't be as vomiting if they sounded more like the children in Chain Hang Low.

and children should not be allowed to sing EVER

That is patently untrue. Some kids are great singers; it just happens that none of the Kidz Bop kids are.

me on the last page]I also love how none of the kids can sing. Usually when you have a large group of children singing wrote:

How can you sing Axel F? And why would you want to sing the Crazy Frog version?

No... they got ahold of the Turtles. NOT THE TURTLES!

AND THE BEATLES?! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

In the future, I'll bet they'll sing SexyBack.

^I can hear kids singing Sexyback now...

Either way that song sucks.

I would laugh my ass off.

"Where the keys at? What you know about that? What you know about that?"

Heh, little kids making drug references, cute.

YouTube · #34

They've done plenty of songs about sex.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Nope, just one. Weird Al doesn't have to get anything cleared, because the right to parody is available to anyone without permission, as covered under Fair Use.

Anyway, Kids Bop doesn't really rub me the wrong way. It's covers of pop songs; both whose only intentions are to make money, neither of which have any musical worth.

I'd slightly rephrase that last part if mainstream hip-hop was any good like it used to be, but it seems to be content to sh*t out the same boring, cheesy and undanceable tickticktickticksnare 808/Casio beat over and over again. I guess forgoing taste and quality for the sake of feuds and bling or whatever the hell else has taken the place of actual breaks, samples, class and genuine emotion. At least mainstream hip-hop has the ability to say it was good, rock's always sucked; switching between disposable verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus sh*t and stupid, long boring "epics" that really have no value and are just making up for the fact that they don't have any original ideas. Don't even get me started on "pop divas", where emotional music isn't even an afterthought when there's important celebrity things to do (pose in front of cameras on a red carpet, sign autographs, dispelling rumors in interviews, etc.). Of course, none of this applies in every case.

To justify that horribly pretentious digression, my point is that no one should get bent out of shape over a product that has no delusions about being anything more than a money maker. It's cheesy, stupid and all-around bad, but hell, so is most pop music.

No, I meant the Kidz Bop people would have to clear using his lyrics.

rock's always sucked; blah blah blah...

Don't play that game with me.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Well, yeah, but that would be only one copyright.

Don't play that game with me.

Name a single innovative mainstream rock act that's not The Beatles.
