Very creepy. Is it just me or do these kids sound robotic?

Bizarre. Only previewed a few songs I must admit but I became afraid and had to leave.

This is by far the creepiest toy I have ever bought our child.  The voice sounds like a drunk guy at the end of the party, and keeps going even after you stop interacting with it.  Fisher Price toys have better content and voice actors, and at least stop when you finish playing with them.

I like them but they are not for a Baby like they make it sound. they are for a toddler.

This thing looks adorable online BUT its extremely loud and the sound of the "voice" is a little creepy. It scared my daughter and just between us, it kinda scares me too :/

The handful of parents that post on these sorts of things "supporting" their young child's music selection. Obviously, most six year olds listening to this sort of thing haven't heard the original songs. I am hardly thirteen myself now, not exactly an -expert- in music or child development, but I remember seeing ads for this on telly, wondering if I just didn't like music. This was listening to an album with no preconcieved notion of what real music was.

Friends, parents, lovers of music, answer me this- You speak of clean lyrics and exposure to wholesome songs, yet you find NONE OF THIS on ANY of the "Kidz Bop" cds that I have seen/heard of. If you seriously want your children to grow heathily in their musical taste, I suggest playing the original songs for them. For small children, maybe not "pop-rock" music at all. In fact, most lyrics on these aren't exactly suitable for the age group targeted. Exposing children to music which values musicianship would never hurt.

Suggestions over KIDS BOP:

Jazz - Tony Bennett, BBking Billie Holiday etc.

Classical - Pretty much whatever, a good thing about it.

Original Recordings - Pick suitable cuts.

Almost Anything..

I very reluctantly let my daughter order this.  They were annoying when they first came out, and they are even more annoying now.  My daughter didn't do something right and the creepy thing started talking in a weird voice resulting in a frustrated little girl.  We finally got it back to the sweet voice but then couldn't turn it off.  I had to go online to find out how to turn the thing off and keep it off.  Parents, if you want peace in your home DON'T get one of these creepy things.

The music is too soft.  I have the Wheels on the Bus and Old MacDonald and the music is much louder.
But the pictures are the cutest.  Can you suggest hand motions for the rest of the song?

Lots of fun, but REALLY noisy! LOL  Not sure if it's worse listening to these make the "pew-pew" sound or having foam Nerf bullets flying by my face. Haha! Boys love them, but II think outside might be better so they have more of a chance to hide.

This book is creepy.  I would rather my kids stay awake than trying to hypnotize them into sleep with garbage about wizards, potions, spells and trickery.

This thing is creepy! I'll get back to that... this was a gift from a friend of mine for my son's first birthday. We have had issues on occasion where the animal was placed in the proper spot and no sound came out. My son when he was younger did suck on the dogs nose and the dogs face is messed up. It seems like it was a printed image that was adhered to this.

Those issues are really what I base my review on, but now back to the creepy part... if all the animals are not in there spots, we have had the sound puzzle make noise on it's own. My wife didn't believe me at first but it seemed to happen whenever the lights were turned off when we went to bed. My Mother-in-law has been witness to this and my wife later heard it for herself; we joke that it's haunted. My best guess is that there is something with the electrical pulse from turning off the light that causes this thing to activate, or it's really haunted. :)

I love listening to Tool, so I had to try out the lullaby renditions.  The songs are well done and totally recognizable.  However, they still sound a bit eerie.  Our daughter doesn't seem to mind as she goes right to sleep, but it gives bedtime a creepy feel.  The lullaby renditions of Guns & Roses, Metallica and Rush have a more baby friendly vibe.

If you're getting this album for kids, it's perfect. there is piano mixed with electronic (and by electronic I mean more electric keyboard and computer-based sounds) mixed with jingle bells and stuff. the kids respond so well to it. Not great for teens though... feels a little childish for them.

They were sort of creepy looking. The "hair" looked like a weird blood spot on the plastic baby's head. They were fun to freeze in ice cubes for the baby shower I threw, though.

resonant voices singing bold and clear. not buffed and polished and over produced. sounds like college friends harmonizing in the stairwell of a dormitory ... perfectly imperfect. like they are learning new material together.

Just pointing out that the beginning of The Weedy Burton is missing (studio chatter). The end of Three Imaginary Boys has too much silence (guess the pro remixing idiot didn't hear the studio talk) , don't these people at least listen to the original mix, before they RUIN it. There may be more wrong, but I'm too piffed off to listen again.

This is creepy. If left on....it will make noise and move. Easy for toddlers to use.
