Search - Kidz Bop Kids :: Kidz Bop Sing The Beatles

The singer's gonna sing a song, but he don't want these kids

"I'll be blunt:



SONG CHOICES: Ah, couldn't have picked a better artist to defecate on! Though I WAS kind of hoping for "I Am the Walrus" and "Revolution 9".

VOCALS: The kids on backing vocals sound like a third grade choir on Prozac. The lead singer...Hoo, boy, the lead singer. First off, couldn't they have picked a guy? These are male artists being covered. I'm all for anyone being able to cover a song (I say that begrudgingly in this case), but, really? Minor point, though--doesn't bother me too much. In addition, couldn't they have picked someone with better anunciation? The vocals just sound...off. I also heard some pretty clear pitch correction on some of the vocals (especially noticeable on the first half of the album).

INSTRUMENTATION: Guitar is okay. Drumbeats all sound synthesized. And most other instruments as well.

PAIN LEVEL: OVER 9000



I at least expected sub-par recordings. What we have here, however, is simply inexcusable. It was a bad idea from the start to have Kidz Bop: The Beatles. (Seems like everyone's tried to cash in on the Fab Four in 2009, eh?) Still, I at least expected actual effort to at least not ruin the songs too much. I at least expected an actual drummer.



In short: DO NOT WANT."

Less than a star, really.

"This is a monstrosity. The Beatles deserved better than a soulless, mediocre reproduction of their songs. Releasing this cd is a big "screw you" to everything they did while they were together."
