Kidz Bop Review - Kidz Bop 30 and Kidz Bop Christmas Wish List


Kidz Bop- what is it?  In case you are not familiar, Kidz Bop, per their website, is kid friendly versions of today's biggest pop music hits.  Kidz Bop releases four major numbered albums each year. Kidz Bop kids sing on the Kidz Bop albums. And, for five consecutive years (2010-2014), Billboard Magazine has named Kidz Bop kids the "#1 Kids' Artist in the U.S.

Kidz Bop has been a huge hit in our house over the last year. When I realized that Mason and Amanda were both paying more attention to the music played in the car, I decided it was time to introduce them to Kidz Bop.  I knew that the music and lyrics were kid friendly and questionable lyrics would be replaced with more appropriate language.




Kidz Bop 30 is just the latest installment of the popular Kidz Bop line of music. Some tracks on Kidz Bop 30 include Bad Blood, Hey Mamma, Fight Song, Cheerleader, Photograph, and Worth It, just to name a few. My kids have been dancing all around the house every night since receiving the CD.  Like the previous editions, this is a sure hit!

In addition to the newest Kidz Bop CD, Kidz Bop has also released a new holiday CD, Kidz Bop Christmas Wish List.  Included on Kidz Bop Christmas Wish List is 14 classic holiday songs, including Santa Claus is Coming to Town, All I Want for Christmas is You, Jingle Bell Rock, Must Be Santa, Up On The Housetop and so much more.  I was especially excited about this one since I am one of those people who can't wait to start listening to holiday music.  I get it, not everyone is into that...but, what I love is that holiday music is appropriate for my kids to listen to. I never have to worry about offensive lyrics or questionable content.  Kidz Bop would take care of those worries anyway.  I love listening to kids singing. My kids love listening to kids singing. There is a connection that can't be matched. 

Another cool item we got to check out was Arm & Hammer's Tooth Tunes toothbrush.  This is a great idea!  All you have to do is press a button and start brushing after the beep.  The music will play for two minutes and you are done!  I really do like this toothbrush.  It has the quality that Arm & Hammer provides and the fun that kids want.  We have used apps while brushing, but they always seem to crash or not work properly.  This inevitably leads to tears, which is the last thing I need at bedtime.  I will be getting Amanda a Tooth Tunes Jr. toothbrush so she can join in the fun.

Kidz Bop is recommended for kids ages 5-12.  The MSRP is around $13.99 for the CD.  You can get it at the Kidz Bop Shop, iTunes, Amazon, and Google Play. 

Visit Kidz Bop's website for more information on other available CD's and music.


Thanks to Kidz Bop for providing the sample above to facilitate this review.  All opinions are 100% mine.
