personally, creating content that's originally intended for kids > altering mature content so that it can be marketed towards children.
@@victoriab637 yup say it louder
exactly!
This
Everytime i hear the word "kidz bop" i think of their version of we belong together (especially the attempt to hit the high note) and i start laughing uncontrollably 😂
@@RAMO538 right or that wild lady who approached that persons car cussing at them 😭
@naomi.cannibal are you talking about that lady with her tongue and eyes out? "Calm down" lady? 😅
@@RAMO538 idkkk but she had her face up against someone’s car window and was like “my kids can’t hear me yelling at you, they’re listening to kidz boP 🤪”
@@naomi.cannibal yeah that's her 😅
WE BELONG TOGETHERRRRRRRrrrRRrrrrrr 🐔🎶
Kids bop used to really irk me especially since I grew up in the 2000’s I always said why did they hire kids who could barely sing and give them such big songs to get criticism
In the 80’s we didn’t have Kidz Bop. Instead we have Chimpmonk cover albums, or Disney cover albums. I was embarrassingly old when I learned that “Whip It” was by a band called Devo, not by Alvin.
it was only created as a result of all the moral panic parents create over "explicit music" acting like swearing and sexual innuendos are somehow a crime against humanity
I remember when McDonald’s gave out Kidz Bop CDs along with Happy Meals and to this day I still can’t stand their Big Girls Don’t Cry cover😭
I still can’t over the fact that need to make even cleaner versions of the already-clean ones. 😂
Yeah I remember listening to sweet dreamsby beyonce from them but realized there's nothing inappropriate about it
@@CosmicCherry1I remember them charging the line "you my certain type of high" to something else lol
Even as a kid, I never really got into kidz bop lol
I just listened to the og songs even tho I knew they were inappropriate for me lol
@@tylerhackner9731 Same, I think I got Kidz Bop 3 and didn’t ask for another one again 😭
Same although at least for me my sister would allow me to watch music video of certain song only the lyric or audio
bc you were allowed to lol I feel like kids bop is for the kids with strict parents who aren't allowed to listen to that inappropriate music in the first place
I doubt any kids were genuinely thinking "I actually prefer kids bop over Britney Spears" lmaoo
@7:10 I REFUSE believe they did this🤣🤣🤣🤣 They could’ve just finished the chorus without it instead of making that kid do that - then keeping it on the track.😩🤣😭
Well, they redid the Kidz Bop version sometime later. Still… 😬
The old cover version of We belong together from Kidz bop is extremely... questionable, according to that clearly voice crack at the outro part
Maybe they were going for authenticness because they're tweens? Just kidding, I don't know
Funny how I discovered Kidz Bop covered Good Luck, Babe!by Chappell Roan right before I saw this. The chorus is the clunkiest change, but the bridge is probably the most unintentionally funny bc it’s changed from lamenting being a man’s wife to existential dread .
“When you wake up in your bed in the middle of the night
With your head in your hands, with nothing more in this life“
My first thought was that this sounded like the beginnings of suicidal ideation.
The note at the end of the we belong together cover 💀
I remember how huge Kidz Bop was as a kid and I had a love-hate relationship with it as I had some of their CDs. In fact, I’m pitching a TV series about the history of Kidz Bop.
@@kamsismith that would be interesting!! And yes tho I didn’t listen much personally, it was inescapable at school events/ birthday parties/ other friends’ cars etc
this played directly after another video so i listened to your into and decided to keep watching. i did not expect to learn a piece of fall out boy history today haha (they are my favorite band) anyway! great video and a great point!!
The Kidz bop version of Montero by Lil Nas x will forever haunt my dreams
I am loving the new set up. ❤
@@KarmaIsaTSpodcast13 thank u 🫶🏾
My mom used to buy me Kidz Bop and the Now cds. I never knew they had music videos though!
Not you dedicating a video on Kidz Bop because of what I said 😭 But seriously, the fact they're still in business just doesn't make sense since kids are already brainrotted on TikTok (or RUclips) with easily viewable and searchable uncensored songs/sound. Regardless, with all the views they got, I hope the Kidz Bop kids got paid well.
@@Greybell lolll this wasn’t shade!! Someone else commented I should talk about Kidz Bop bc of my reaction to your comment, so thank u! Seriously, you’re always so insightful
@@naomi.cannibal no, thank YOU ma'am! I comment too much on some of your videos so please forgive my yapping.
I had no idea they were still around, haven't heard about kidz bop i swear in 20 years
I convinced my grandma to buy me kidz bop 9 as a child. Let’s just say I was very traumatized by the We Belong Together cover.
@@CoconutGirl333 idk how the struggling made it into the album LOL. The producers said the work is done I just wanna get paid
I never liked kids bop even as a kid 😂 I would think why would I want to listen to kids singing and not the real person? I just thought the whole thing was stupid and still do.
My parents let me listen to anything (they are from the Caribbean soo if you knw anything abt our music it typically not “kid friendly” 😅) my parents philosophy is that the kids dnt knw what the songs mean they just like the beat. Which is true! Kids learns things are bad when adults tell them it’s bad.
My mom who is a teacher and specializes in early childhood education, she always says just tell kids not to say the cuss words and they will be fine and she’s right!
Like look at how many adults who are just now realizing so many songs are about smex and they are in their 20-50s 😂
Songs cause no harm to children’s, it’s these purity obsessed parents trying to “save” their children from the “cruel” doing the harm to their kids. Those kids grow up to be naive, immature, self conscious, adults who are not ready for the world and annoying to work with.
Just let your kids listen to music at most the censored versions. Nothing bad is gonna happen to them because they are singing Meg thee stallion or Chappell roan 🙄
Agreed
I'm apart of the first introduction to pop music camp. I had way too many of these as a kid, and I found some of the most nostalgic songs for me from them.
20:23 …you should hear the Glee version. I actually kinda prefer it. They changed it to a kind of campfire guitar vibe, and it done by one woman and two men. Ironically one of the male characters singing it was ALSO supposed to be the Christian character.
I would honestly feel so mad as an artist if someone took my art and changed it to fit a different demographic. I didn’t make it for that audience so it doesn’t need to be consumed by that audience.
I never had any interest in kidz bop when I was a kid I'd rather just listen to the original versions of the songs
19:25 the frosting is still being licked 💀
I know we all have our least favorite Kidz Bop covers but can I recommend my favorite: the cover of Bad Day by Daniel Powter! Idk who’s idea it was for the kids to be whooping and cheering in the background of a song called BAD DAY but it’s so funny and it made my mom and I crack up every time we heard it. Go listen to it (you’re welcome for the laugh)
I work at a hotel and Kidz Bop stayed at my hotel while they were on tour one time lmfao
So from the USA Today article; only two of those kids are still with kidzbop. One of the boys left I think for school and one of the girls had to leave due to a medical issue with her mom.
"my kids can't hear, they're listening to KiDz bOp"
To me, it’s just a cheap cash grab, and it’s taking advantage of parents laziness. Everything needs to be sanitized and edited because parents don’t want to have hard conversations with their kids. I understand, sometimes they’re too young to understand things. But if you’re a parent, talk to your kid. Don’t shelter them from everything. When you do that, they just grow up and go buck wild, the minute they get some freedom. I understand wanting to protect your kids, and not ruin them at a young age. But it doesn’t hurt to talk them.
It felt very nostalgiac when I used to watch every Kidz Bop commercial on Nickelodeon since I was 4 or 5. The very first Kidz Bop commercial I watched was the one with "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus as one of their tracks back in 2009.
I was just thinking the other day about whether anyone actually enjoyed KidzBop, like did anyone care about the fact that it was other kids singing the songs or did they just listen to it because it was the only version their parents would allow?
Kidz Bop is SO inconsistent and hilarious. Some songs they don't change a single lyric to, so it's like what's the point. And then there are songs that change line after line to the point that it isn't the same song anymore, so it's like why bother covering it at all. Some songs censor words like "baby" and others don't. How do you censor "lean all in my bladder" but then not change the next line "cheated on my baby"? 😂
About the Gaga song, I noticed you mentioned allyship and IDK if you were referring to other ethnicities or not, but Gaga is bisexual.
@@mutantsupremacies just found that out from u! Thanks for the correction!
In the same vein as this, I hate when the song I Want Candy is used in kids movies as if it's literally about candy when it's so clearly not
The kids vocals just can’t compare to adult vocals and i think that’s one of the main reasons why people don’t like them…
If Kidz Bop has writers to censor lyrics from the original songs, why can’t they can write their own original music? They don’t need to cover songs that kids shouldn’t be singing.
Honestly, I used to get the kidz bop cds for Christmas from ages 4-7 and I liked them so I probably had a more positive view of kidz bop bc I thought it was a good way to know what songs are popular and enjoy them while not being exposed to all of the “explicit” aspects, but looking back when I would listen to non kidz bop songs I still didn’t pick up on the mature aspects anyways so the censorship was probably not necessary
We watch kidz bop with my kids on the spectrum all the time ! So you know I need to hear the tea ! Love you girl ❤️
They stumbled across the idea to remake pop songs for kids in 2001, hm? Not sure what to think of that, considering the smurfs have been doing that in Europe since the 80s, which makes more sense. They are most successful in Germany and the Netherlands because the songs are also translated and it was much more interesting to hear music with lyrics you can understand as a child
I’ve always thought that Kidz Bops was made specifically for super religious families and religious places that want to play “cool” music so them taking the sexuality references out doesn’t shock me at all. But I am Team Just make original music for the children
I used to love the kidz bop and the original versions. Even though I had heard originals since i heard the kids versions more I'd remember the clean versions more. Sometimes I hear the originals and wonder how i know them. Then i remember the kidz bob versions
Kidz Bop just makes me laugh.
They kidified bring me back to life
Unforgivable
I think I only had one Kidz Bop album lol and I only listened to it like once
i only know kidz boPPPPP when i see the name. id be curious what it would be like if you did a ranking of wildest out of context lyric changed from kidz bop…. but that would be torture to listen through it all💀💀💀
they made born this way a christian song 😭😭
In my opinion,
kidz bop is like a relic of a forgotten era, and is something we don't really need anymore.
The way that they change lyrics to phrases that don't even make grammatical or semantic sense, how's that good for kids?
The cover of Blvd of Broken Dreams is so funny
I always HATED kidz bop and mini pop kids (Canada's version of kidz bop lol) the changing of the lyrics are always so terrible lol
All I can think of is "my kids are listening to kidz bop"
Calm down, my kids can’t hear me calling you a *****, they can’t hear me because they’re listening to kids bop
i never really why they made a kids bop version of my love mine all mine
OH BABY BABY WE BELONG TOGETHAAAAUAUAUAUA-AGH
Honestly they should be studied because someone is still giving them streams 😂 millions
I think they should go back and record some 80s n 90s music, that way they won’t have to rest on the trashy music that’s out now.
my parents are conservative mormons but even they thought these were lame 😂
Me being proud of being the first like😂
and the first comment you winnn

Rocky Horror on Glee had similar problems. They sang sensational instead of transsexual, but kept transvestite in. There are FAR more people still using the word transsexual than transvestite. So they censored a gender identity but kept in the fetish. Very strange choice.
In the same vein as this, I hate when the song I Want Candy is used in kids movies as if it's literally about candy when it's so clearly not
