KIDZ BOP, a mega-popular brand of music geared towards children ages 5 to 12, released a new CD last month . . . KIDZ BOP Sings Monster Ballads
This CD starts off with the song "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" with Poison's Bret Michaels on guitar and his daughters Raine and Jorja Michaels on vocals. Some other songs I love, sung by the KIDZ BOP Kids, were "Heaven", "High Enough", "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)", "The Flame", "Wind of Change", and "Love of a Lifetime". My two favorite ballads, however, were "Is This Love" and "When I See You Smile".
Even though this CD contains only ballads, my children did not let that stop them from letting loose and dancing. They had so much fun and clearly appreciated the guitar in many of the songs.
One thing that I truly love about this CD is that the songs are performed in a style very close to the original recordings. Not that credit should not go to those who try to put their own spin on songs, but I very much like that my children can hear these songs similarly to how I did for the first time.
KIDZ BOP Sings Monster Ballads on CD retails for $13.98. You can hear previews of each of the 15 songs on KidzBop.com and can currently purchase this CD on sale on KIDZBOPShop.com, Amazon.com
