Customer Reviews:
- icarly: I'm 10 and I love icarly! The CD is really cool and all the songs rock!
- Great CD for teenagers: I got this cd for my son, but I think it's a bit too old for him. I've put the age appropriate songs for him on his ipod and kept the rest for myself.
Carly's songs (Miranda Cosgrove) are great and she's got a lovely voice. The theme song is inspiring and positive, my son plays it constantly, which is fine by me. The rest of her songs are about boys and relationships. They're harmless as far as I'm concerned and have good beats.
The dialog between songs is pulled directly from the show. It's got 'Sam's sassy humor and love of meats and violence, and Carly's innocence and go getter attitude. There are a few songs dedicated to 'Freddie's obsession with 'Carly' and how at some point they'll just be strangers (or maybe I'm reading too much into it:)
"Freckles" is a nice song about appreciating yourself and for those of you who loved FOOTLOOSE like I did, there's a great rendition of "Let's Hear it for the Boy." Lil' Mama and Avril Lavine do an upbeat "Girlfriend" about how they hate a boy's girlfriend and that they'd be much better to date. It's cute, but I could see how it's a bit much for little girls.
Overall, I really like the album. It's quality and fun with several catchy tunes. I'm sure my son will like it more as he gets older. I'm looking forward to a complete Miranda Cosgrove album.
- Bubblegum is Sweet for Kids: Leave It All To Me (Theme from iCarly) is a bouncy song that typifies the 35 total tracks. The release includes music and cast dialogue from the show and songs that add some spice to the album's pretty standard concept of marketing an audio version of a TV show.
As with the program, this is a venue to spotlight the incredible talent of actress/singer Miranda Cosgrove, who is setting a foundation for a solid career in the entertainment industry. There is cross-over appeal due to the mix of songs and dialogue, hence this is a "safe" release to give to a young person who may not be acquainted with the series, but is riding that pop culture wave at school.
This is bubblegum that is sweet for kids.
- Lyrics are not appropriate for my 7 year old daughter: I am very disappointed by the lyrics contained in some of these songs. I have taken the cd away from my daughter. I am going to upload most of the songs onto her ipod but there are a couple songs that should not be on a cd for children. Nickolodean should know better!!
- NICE CD: I ordered this cd for my 11yr old daughter, and she really liked it. It came packaged nice, and the delivery was very FAST. You saved me time and money, and for that I THANK YOU!
