And Kidz Bop has killed him.”–Friedrich Nietzsche Anyway, my spirit returned to my physical form in time to wade my way through the last painful few seconds of the song. Perhaps this is following the form of “24K Magic” to deny the existence of God and instead place humanity in a state of nihilistic existence. I can only imagine that in deciding to cover “Closer,” the producers knew that they would be pushing the human listener into a state of transcendence to the next stage of human evolution. At around the time that they changed out the lyric “mattress” for “notebook” (which makes no sense in the context of the song), I experienced an out-of-body experience where I observed my physical essence become tangled with the spiritual world.

I believed that I was free from this song, only for Kidz Bop to pull me back in. All I ask is that Kidz Bop never take on this song. After five songs, I’ve come to believe that “That’s My Girl” is the album’s strongest song, and perhaps brighter times lie ahead. Even when the song was finished, I found myself quite shockingly repeating it once more without despising what I was hearing. The song is upbeat, energetic, and quite memorable.
Perhaps existence is not quite as pointless as “Don’t Wanna Know” would have me believe. It injects some much needed life into the album.
Don’t Wanna Know: The cleanup hitter of the album strikes out.There will not be any love for “Let Me Love You,” as by the third song, Kidz Bop’s shtick begins to grow old. This cover does nothing to accentuate the original, and while that criticism can be levied on “The Greatest” as well, that song is perfectly made for Kidz Bop’s strengths. “Let Me Love You” is so bland that it begins to wear on the listener. Let Me Love You: Following the aptly named “The Greatest” is a tough job.As neither a Sia devotee nor a critic, I accepted “The Greatest” for what it was, and even enjoyed it. This can have one of two effects on the listener: either one will embrace the skillful similarities or reject “The Greatest” for being far too similar to Sia’s original work. The differences between the two are practically indiscernible. What will determine the likeability of this song is the listener’s opinion of Sia’s original tune. The casual listener may not even notice a difference between the soothing voices of Kidz Bop and Sia’s refined tones. The Greatest: Sia’s high-pitched vocals in the original prove to work perfectly with Kidz Bop’s crooning sopranos.What sort of profound statements about the existence of God is Kidz Bop trying to make? Disappointed by the lack of theological references. The gender swap works, but leaving the biblical reference out causes this rendition to feel shallow and lacking in overt religious imagery. The song lacks the subtlety and nuance of Mars’s religious allusions. The line “I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket” has been replaced with “I’m a dangerous woman with some money in my pocket.” This is certainly an admirable attempt at inclusivity however, the choice to omit the line “We too fresh, gotta blame on Jesus, hashtag blessed” proves to be an error. The more mature lyrics have obviously been swapped in favor of family-friendly phrases (substituting “kids” for “players” is the most glaring example), but Kidz Bop chooses to go a step further.
Unfortunately, their rendition of Bruno Mars’s “24K Magic” falls short of the magnificence Mars produced.
