The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    "He's a gentleman lover/get you under cover" and "Your body's the sin" is as bad as it gets.

  • Language:

    A few words here and there: "What the hell/that spell that he got you under?" "Damn, she knows that I'm a fan," and "I hate her even though I love her."

  • Consumerism:

    Obvious American Idol tie-in.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About ADD: Audio Day Dream

Parents need to know that the theme of this pop album from the runner-up of American Idol is relationships and all that they entail -- heartbreak, longing, breaking up, and even celebrity crushes. (Lewis has admitted to a crush on actress Natalie Portman and sings about it in "Know My Name.") The songs speak of mostly innocent feelings about love and contain nothing offensive.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the phenomenon of American Idol contestants releasing huge-selling albums. Do you think Blake Lewis would have made it on his own, without the benefit of exposure on the popular TV show? How does the show mold its artists? Families can also talk about Lewis' choice of an album title. Why did he choose it? And why did he use the acronym? What does it have to do with Lewis or the CD?

    Great CD!

    I got this CD for Christmas because I love Blake Lewis! This is a great CD! I love the beat boxing at the end! There is mild language, mild commercialism, and mild sexual content, but this is a great CD for kids and adults both!
