Kidz Bop

PrincessKLS · #1 (**permalink**) 08-09-2008, 04:01 PM

Okay ever since 1999 or something, this music company made CDs of little kids singing top 10/20 hits. But I don't see the point in it because the words don't seem edited in the songs and most of the kids will listen to the regular songs (even though some aren't appropriate for them). So why do they make it?

I swear, when I saw those commercials for Kidz Bop and I was like...wait...you gotta be fuckin shitting me.

Gee...I wonder what they're up to nowadays. *shrugs*

Seems pretty pointless to me though.

They came out with their 14'th CD

Seriously I think it started because so many parents would complain about the music their under 13 children would listen too. But if that's the case, than that's a really stupid reason considering they use the same lyrics from what I gather from the commericals. When I was going to a university for a year after high school, I had an RA who was sort of young, she like tested out of high school early but didn't really act smart,

And she loved the CD. She seemed a bit immature for her age.

Allow me to go on another one of my rants, if you please. I apologize ahead of time if I am offending anyone.

Leave it to the "parents" (and I use that word loosely) to complain about shit that they'd like to change, just because it's not clean enough for them to leave their kids alone to listen to.

It's called parental discretion, people. Come-the-fuck-on! What the hell are the goddamn Parental Advisory stickers for? I mean, back when TV programs had no ratings, what did they do? Parents actually had to decide whether to let their child watch a certain program. The same thing goes for radio, movies and music. But now, oh no, its too goddamn daunting to actually decide on what our children should listen to. But then, lol, God forbid that a child should actually act on what they hear in a song. Where does the finger point to? THE MEDIA! JESUS, MARY AND, JOESPH! HELLO, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT FUCKIN PICTURE?

SONOFABITCH!

*takes a deep breath*
I'm ok...I'm fine now. u.u
I SAID I"M OK, GODDAMNIT!
Yet another way for us to cut corners on things instead of actual interventions.

I'm done now. Thank you for listening.

*cues station ID and fades into commercials*

On a quick sidebar, Princess, you just provided me with material that I could do my radio show on for tongiht. My thanks to you.

Oh anything to help and I do agree with your assessments. I remember back in 1997 when I was about 13 and the tv ratings were starting. It seemed like they grouped shows into certain categories; like the majority of the shows that people had complained about being too innappropriate got a G or PG rating, soaps got a TV-14 rating, though Beverly Hills 90210 at first got a PG rating and I was shocked. Anything that came on the morning for kids and preteens got a Y or Y7 rating (how is that different from G or PG? ), and anything on after 10 got a MA rating. It was so weird and stupid.

P.S. Could you send us transcripts of your radio show.

Also this talk reminds me of the recent Miley Cyrus debacle. At this point, why expect anything from child stars ?!!! We've seen this happen to people from the Cowsills to Britney Spears, they come out cute and cuddling, and sex up or fuck up their image later just to go to rehab and get good comeback story later.

What they are doing to Miley reminds me a lot about Britney. Like her claiming she'll be a virgin til marriage and pose semi sexy in shoot. True the Vanity Fair shoot didn't show much but there's internet pictures of her supposedly covorting around in her underwear with her gal pals and rumors that she kisses girls. That anti-heterosexual/pro-lesbian agenda pisses me off.

And a huge reason, I don't like the Jonas Brothers, that stupid "wait til marriage" crap that I don't even think I'll follow myself. Have you noticed how young most of those people are. Like on underage and Engaged on MTV, half the 18-21 year olds that are getting married, say they are waiting.

I'm sorry but to me it sounds like sex is a big part of it. You rarely hear an unmarried 25-30 something say they are a virgin waiting for marriage.

I'd rather have sexed up socialites like Paris, Nicole, and Kim Kardashian than have a bunch of fake preteen performers running around telling our children how to behave and turn around to do the opposite.

I think the whole rating and parental advisory bullshit is nonsense as well. No matter what by the time they get old enough to buy them on their own and make their own money, they are going to buy whatever they want and there is nothing their parents can do about it. This world is full of a lot more worse things that you cannot keep your children from seeing so why shelter them? Why make them naive to everything until it's too late and they have to get out on their own and learn it a much harder way?

I know that is a great point. If it wasn't for some of my earlier exposures to R rated movies and porn mags ( I got in trouble for looking). I'd probably be one of those adults who didn't seem to know anything in the world. True I still have a lot to learn and experience but at least I know it's out there.

I remember my 18-year old RA would freak out if she say a girl on MTV show cleavage, while I would grow up seeing blurred out nudity on the channel

Even though she was supposed to be very smart and well travelled she just seemed a little jaded or something.

Good point. There's a way around everything. And its not like parents probably aren't buying the game for their kids either, ya know?

See, this is how wwe usually go about things, when we are curious to want to find things out. We'll have to go out on our own and in some cases, risk getting in trouble, maybe some embarassment along that route but, it will be well worth it in the long run.

Funny shit is, when it comes to cable TV or satelite, material that is not necessarily bleeped, dumped out of, edited out, or pixelated, may be getting that sort of treatment on the next channel. Same thing with music, some of the lyrics on songs are changed up but, no matter how clean the lyrics may appear, someone always has a problem with it.

btw, I'm going to pull the segment from yesterday's archive and convert it to something streamable. It'll take me a bit but, *shrugs*. Feel free to listen.

Kidz Bop is stupid and I'll ruin the people that made it.
