Recently, The DailyER was given a special copy of the latest “Kidz Bop 34” album ahead of its release date.

Let me tell you, Kidz Bop referred to this album as a special edition, and it’s special alright; a special piece of crap.

First, let’s start with the vocals. Whoever thought it was a good idea to jam 30 kids into a recording studio and hold the lyrics to some random pop song in front of them, thought wrong.

The prepubescent males of the group could not hold a low note to save their life. It was like listening to the screeching motor of that car in the garage your Dad had as a teen and swears he’s “going to fix to brand new.” I mean, truly horrible.

Let’s also talk about the song choice for this album. It’s 2018, we want something fresh; we want the sweet, calming sounds of kids spitting Cardi B’s “Bodak Yellow,” rather than the outdated “Closer,” by the Chainsmokers.

This cast of kids also butchered Alessia Cara’s intimate “Scars to Your Beautiful,” by having 40 freaking kids yell it at you. This one seemed so obvious to me, like, it’s a song that’s supposed to be sung by one person, in a slow, passionate fashion. The essence was totally lost.

Alright, I can’t do it anymore. Don’t buy this album. They still haven’t worked out the “kinks” on their thirty-fourth try. Not worth the $14.99 its going for.
