REVIEW: KIDZ BOP 24

Christmas in July

By Angie Appoo July 26, 2013
My daughter is a big fan of music - but there aren't a lot of kid-friendly songs out there and at soon to be 8 years old, she's a little old for "Old McDonald Had a Farm" and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star".

Her friends are into the popular songs you hear on the Radio, but even the "censored" on-air versions seem a little too much for me. I LOVE that Kidz Bop 24 has all the latest popular songs with clean lyrics that are kid-appropriate.

It has all my daughter's favorite artists and songs including Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat", Selena Gomez's "Come and Get it", and Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack". My daughter has already seen Justin Bieber and Demi Lovato in concert, and this October she will be seeing Selena Gomez at Philips Arena. 

My daughter loves to sing along with the songs, and since Kidz Bop 24 is sung by kids, it feels like she's singing along with her friends. My daughter is aware of who the artists are behind the music, since they are some of her favorites, but what's also great about Kidz Bop 24 is that since kids are singing the songs, you don't have to introduce your child to an artist who you may feel is inappropriate at this time, like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis of "Thrift Shop" fame or Icona Pop of "I Love It" fame. You can enjoy the song without having to go into detail about the artist. 

Kidz Bop 24 also has songs I like so that I don't mind singing along or dancing to them too. We're actually going to play Kidz Bop 24 at my daughter's upcoming Birthday Party and I know it's going to be a big hit with all the kids (and parents) that will get them ALL on the dance floor.

The full list of songs are:
1.Thrift Shop, 2. I Knew You Were Trouble, 3. Suit & Tie, 4. Beauty and a Beat, 5. Ho Hey, 6. Come and Get it, 7. Feel This Moment, 8. Scream & Shout, 9. Girl on Fire, 10. I Love It., 11. Can't Hold Us, 12. Heart Attack, 13.Mirrors, 14. 22, 15. Just Give Me A Reason, 16. Don't Stop The Party. 

Kidz Bop 24 is on sale now at Shop.KidzBop.com, Amazon, and many other retailers.

I noticed Walmart.com has an Exclusive CD with 5 Bonus Tracks and Stickers that include 17.The Edge Of Glory (Bonus Track),18.Break Your Heart (Bonus Track), 19.Firework (Bonus Track), 20. DJ Got Us Falling In Love (Bonus Track), 21. The Lazy Song (Bonus Track) and it's on sale for less than the retail price of $15. 

So you should definitely check it out, it's kid-friendly, and wallet-friendly too.
