Live reviews
Five kids stand onstage, dressed in jeans and matching gold and black letterman jackets. In high, piping voices, they start to sing a cover of “Say Something”. The stage is brightly lit by the large, colorful neon sign reading 'Kidz Bop' hanging on the back wall. After the first song, the kids launch into a fast paced version of “Thriftshop”, complete with dance moves. They move onto “Happy”, dancing and clapping as they sing. The audience love it and clap along, singing as loud as they can. Kidz Bop Kidz is a dance group and pop ensemble. The group was founded in 2001 in New York. The current members are Matt Martinez, Grant Knoche, Bredia Santaro, Ashlynn Chong, and Jayna Brown, and the list of past members is extensive. Kiz Bop Kidz have released twenty six albums to date, each titled Kidz Bop, Kidz Bop 2, Kidz Bop 3, and so on to Kidz Bop 26. International hits, each album has been sold worldwide and each has also been ranked No. 1 on or No. 2 on the US Kids Chart. Most of the albums have earned US Gold certifications. The Kidz Bop Kidz perform with genuine happiness and enthusiasm, and are a fun act to see live.
This is my 2nd year taking my kids to see this show. Obviously I'm cynical as this is not my type of show.
Tickets say show starts at 7, this doesn't happen. They start about 710/715.
It's 4 kid singers in coordinating outfits, singing to pop songs from the radio, with a stage set. Okay, I know these songs, no issue.
There is a 15 minute 'recess' like an intermission in the whole show, but the show still ends at 830.
This year seemed a little better than last year because the voices seemed more clear, more audible.
But for really, an hour of performance, and again I know this is a kids show, I don't see the point in going a 3rd year.
But keep doing what you're doing kids. This is a huge business so I hope you can keep going.
