Why We Rated This on for Ages 13 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some families might be taken aback by her odd and public theology.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Just a bit of innuendo.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.

    Insert advertises cell phone ring tones.

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Confessions on a Dance Floor

Parents need to know that Madonna's lyrics are standard-issue sexy. They're also kind of simplistic and dumb. Madonna's well-publicized interest in Jewish mysticism is also on display in a few of the songs.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about how this CD compares with past Madonna recordings. They might also discuss how so much has been made about Madonna's age and whether or not she is still relevant in a pop scene dominated by teens; do male musicians who have enjoyed a long career face the same scrutiny?

    I rate this title off for age 2 and give it 1.0

    This album, not for anyone

    After what seems a century of her she has completely lost her touch in the music world. It's just the same commercial popularized crap that the world's been hearing for about 8 years now.
