America just can not seem to get enough of KidzBop these days! With the popularity and customer satisfaction ratings at an all time high, there is no doubt that you haven’t already heard about the musical revolution sweeping the nation. The 15 original albums, which feature relatively young children singing along to new, hip songs, have all been in the top ten on the billboards for months.
In addition to the 15 original collections, there are many other genres available, such as the “KidzBop 80’s Gold Collection” and “KidzBop Country” albums. There is a KidzBop for everyone! Not only children are enjoying these musical masterpieces, but teenagers, parents, and celebrities too. It was recently reported that talented Nickleback members Chad and Mike Kroeger, hit teen skateboarder Ryan Sheckler, and Barbra Streisand listen to KidzBop. Even everyone’s favorite rapper, DeAndre Ramone Way (more commonly known as Souja Boy) said that “KidzBop is the best. I was listening to KidzBop when I came up with my most famous song and dance, Crank Dat Souja Boy. It really inspired me.”
They are simply the most popular CDs on the billboards –but the fun doesn’t end there! The KidzBop company also offers a fun website that allows kids to express their musical creativity, play games, browse the many KidzBop albums, and check out the boppin’ new clothing line. The website had been reporting a lot of business and increased profit for the company, until many angry parents complained about several of the advertisements on the site being unsuitable for children. People simply could not believe this was true, but there were in fact numerous ads for Naturomax spread out among the multiple pages of the website, some even doubling and tripling up per page. Several mothers believe “it is not appropriate to have advertisements for male enhancements on a children’s website,” many of which, fathers complained, “don’t even work.” The KidzBop company is in court right now and is at danger of being sued by many angry mothers. However, most importantly, as the company’s corporate lawyer stated, “We can only hope the harmony of innocence in the voices of these children isn’t tainted by the company’s web manager screwing up so badly. “
This small dilemma has only put a mere dent in the recent craze over KidzBop. We can all expect to see, as well as hear, our dearest little infants’ rock on and bring us more of our favorite songs, sung by them.
