    Nothing much.

    A lot of innuendo on some of the songs.

    It's REALLY obvious which words have been edited out.

What Parents Need to Know

About Now That's What I Call Music! 15

Parents need to know that because we've all heard these songs so many times, it might be easy not to notice the sexism that abounds in some of them. But it's still worth pointing out to your teens.

    I rate this title on for age 11 and give it 3.0

    meh

    Ok, let me get this straight...the Swear words are edited out, so that younger kids who don't know them won't learn them, and older kids who know them already know not to use them..and that's still explicit? well, gee, that makes no sense at all. there is some sexism here, but not really a lot, but the CD realy isn't very good. it's got a bunch of songs from a bunch of genres. and unless you like every song on this disc, it'd be much cheaper to just buy the original songs that you like off itunes, or any other Music site.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 2.0

    Ehhhh....

    This CD isn't that great. It includes some hit songs that some parents wouldn't want their kids to hear. There is some rap on this CD which I don't like, because in my opinion isn't music, it's fast talking with some swear words thrown in. I wouldn't recommend this to people becuase it just didn't have any qualities that stood out.
