Kidz Bop 10
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.
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).
