Kidz Bop 9 Sneak Preview

We've been waiting to hear little kids sing Weezer and Gorillaz forever. Sorry, no MP3s (yet), but check out the Kidz Bop 9 commercial (WIN MEDIA). My favorite part is the lil' Gwen.

UPDATE: MP3s of the Kidz' Weezer, Gorrillaz, and Coldplay covers at Some Velvet Blog.

Most would consider $18.98 to be a shameless ripoff for a cd, but this one's got a FREE COMIC BOOK INSIDE!

My favorite! Creepy robotic child performers singing age-inappropriate songs!

Everyone loves a catchy tune!

At least we can assume that these children have no idea what they're singing about...

Kidz Bop is geigh. There's nothing "catchy" about "Beverly Hills."

I like the little kid in the headband. He's got some indie cred, and clearly, appreciates the irony of it all. I swear I've seen him on the Cobrasnakes site.

They offered to cover Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but they declined.

Is Apple Martin on any of the tracks?

I was enjoying a glass of wine when the preview for "Beverly Hills" came up, now there's broken crystal in my face and keyboard

It's so funny how happy the first girl is to have her heart torn in pieces. I am in love with the Asian girl in the colorful sweater who dances to the Black Eyed Peas "Don't Lie" like it is the jam of her life. She is "Dirty Diana Jr."

Regardless of your interest in this CD, everyone is clearly dying to know which music video is next.

Just thought people would like to know that somevelvetblog.blogspot.com has 'Beverly Hills', 'Speed of Sound', and 'Feel Good Inc' up from this for download.

And no, I'm not spamming for my own site strangely. My music blog is Mocking Music, not Some Velvet Blog which I just found today.

Cheers.

*Yawn*. This Kidz Bop shit is lame. But naturally, it's "cool" for indie scenesters to say they love it.

Those kids creep me out. And the adults singing with them aren't much better. I mean, what kind of social life would they have? I doubt that their dream job is butchering popular songs that are innapropriate for the children singing them.

Why don't we just listen to the songs by the original artists? No matter who sings them, most are not going to be fit for kids. And changing the words ruins the songs even more.

Well, I don't believe the voices on the Kidz Bop Kids CD is actually them , maybe the backup singers are kids but the lead singers sound much more mature than kids that age .
