What is it with the "Kidz Bop" fad?

Recommended Posts

Guest Dale Earnhardt

Why is it that everything has to be remade by kids? We've had it done to The Beatles, the Kidz Bop series and that Gospel music one. Why is it that people insist on releasing these albums?

 

More importantly, what is the draw? Why listen to a bunch of kids singing your favorite song when you can hear the original artist sing it.

Umm, well, because the target audience is little kids.

 

My daughter loves 'em.

Again, why submit them to hearing a song in lesser quality than it was originally made?

Because it appeals to the target audience.

So you're saying that Justin Timberlake should remake all of Dean Martin's songs just so it can appeal to that demographic?

Greedy music executives, song writers, producers want to squeeze all the money they can out of the music lovin 30-ish MILFs and 50-ish grannies.

I just think it would be incredibly amusing to hear a bunch of 10 year-olds (or however old the singers they use) singing about how they "did it for the nookie"

I bet the 10-year-olds are more physically intimidating than Fred Durst.

Didn't they cover "Toxic" by Britney Spears? I know that they made a few other songs that in no way relates (or should relate) to them.

LOL, I have only heard the songs they sample on the commercials. They had really killed alot of songs. One day, I will download some, and listen to them, and then laugh.

They take catchy songs, change the lyrics to be harmless and without all the sexual innuendo, and have kids sing it thus making it acceptable for their kids to listen to popular music without the negative connotations. It pretty easy to figure out here people.

 

I got more insulted by that faze of taking songs by black artist and having white artist sing them. I couldn't figure out the need for THAT. I am still pissed off at hearing those white dudes singing "Motownphilly".

Children need to be taught that black people can't sing and they should fear them. I guess that's the goal. And the cover of "Bring me to life" with the dumbass yelling "WAKE ME UP" while some little kid is singing is just disturbing and hilariously bad.

 

I'm still waiting for them to cover "Tip Drill" dammit.

Pop music is immoral for childrens, unless it's sang by childrens, then it's perfectly acceptable. Didn't you guys know that?

 

Do they really change the lyrics? I always assumed they were straight covers. If they aren't straight covers, that removes all the interest I have in them.

 

The commercials have given me a great idea...

 

A CD of Christopher Walken covering pop music.

That thing would sell out in ten seconds.

Add in some music videos with him in the lead doing his dance thing and you'd have the greatest CD/DVD collection ever made.

I thought that was over by the 1950s.
