7 Songs Kidz Bop Covered (But Shouldn't Have)

Kidz Bop has been around for as long as I can remember, and now that they are on their 31st album, I thought it was about time to review some of the best (worst) songs they covered.

Note: I am sorry if this offends any Kidz Bop fans.

1. "Love Me Like You Do"

When I first heard that they were singing "Love Me Like You Do", I was absolutely terrified. The Ellie Golding hit that was featured in Fifty Shades of Grey was a song I never thought the young singers of Kidz Bop would ever cover. Oh, but I was wrong.

2. "My Immortal"

Back in 2004, I probably thought Kidz Bop covering this song was completely normal. Looking back, I can't listen to this whole song without feeling overwhelmingly uncomfortable. Why did these kids have so much teenage angst?

3. "Thrift Shop"

There are no words to describe this song. Within seconds, I was completely speechless. I will leave the link below, click if you dare.

4. "Follow Me"

Why did anyone think it was okay for them to sing this song? Why did they not change the words? Why are actual children singing about having an affair feat. an Uncle Kracker impersonator?

5. "Toxic"

I will admit, it was cute when the artists of Kidz Bop covered "Oops, I did it Again," but when they covered this 2004 Britney Spears hit, it became clear that the Kidz Bop kids could cover any song they set their mind on.

6. "The Frog Song"

I have no idea who thought that this would be a perfect addition to Kidz Bop 9, but for some reason, this track was added at the very end of the album. I urge you not to click on the link, but again, listen at your own risk.

7. "Watch Me"

"You already know who it is," it's Kidz Bop covering another one of your favorite songs to dance to. Now you can safely whip and nae-nae to this song when kids are around. Thank you Kidz Bop!

Watch Me Audio

In conclusion, Kidz Bop has provided us with years of entertainment by covering some of our favorite songs. What are your favorite (or least favorite) Kidz Bop songs?

Are you offended by any of them, or do you think they are all family friendly? Did you audition for Kidz Bop when you were eleven like I did, and just not make the cut?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
