you know the ones! You're watching tv and suddenly this commercial comes on and oh oh oh... it's that One Republic song, 'Stop and Stare' or something like that. Only.... ARGH! It's not One Republic singing it, it sounds like catholic choirboys! Then there's Sean Kingston or Hannah Montana dancing on the screen - but superimposed over them is a crowd of first graders singing! EEEEEEK! Do these bother you as much as they bother me?I'm pretty laid back about my music. My presets on my car stereo encompass a variety, from current pop hits to country, to hair band rock and pop from the 80s, to name a few. There is something just not right about a seven year old singing 'you're a genie in a bottle, come on and rub me the right way' though.
My daughter sings along to some things on the radio and she surprisingly knows the words to a lot of songs, but she doesn't do it at the top of her lungs in the middle of a crowded grocery store either. I'll stick with the original artists, you?2 people like this

I have never understood these cd's. I don't have any kids, but if I did I would much rather them listen to the original songs than these "covers". I like "disney" pop music.. but these kids singing hits things I don't get.
I take music very seriously, so when I hear my favorite songs on those commercials being sang by kids.. it's just weird. Especially songs that I don't really think kids should be singing on tv since they don't even know what they are repeating. I admit--I now look back on like the Spice Girls and the songs definitely mean something different now than when I was like 13! LOL But yea.. I think the Kidz Bop is just silly, and an excuse to charge more money for a remix of songs that already exist.
