What Parents Need to Know

About Speak

Parents need to know that this CD is Lindsay Lohan's debut as a singer. The lyrics do contain some self-conscious sexual innuendo throughout -- just enough to let us know that our little girl is growing up, but not enough to really be grown up.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Lindsay Lohan's transformation from a young movie star into a pop singer. Ask your kids if they think it's possible for an artist to excel at both. Is it better to perfect one craft? Why or why not?

    Amazing singer, but tracks are repetitive and somewhat dull

    Sexual Content (Pause): Some mild sexual innuendo. Violence (Not an Issue): Lindsay's a lover, not a fighter. Language (Pause): One use of "damn". Social Behavior (Pause): No good role model is this self-obsessive. Commercialism (Not an Issue): She's a Disney star. It's commercial by definition. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): A few references to drinking and drugs.

    I Think....

    Lindsay Lohan should stay at acting 'cause her singing is not that great and her album was Ok but could have been better. She should just be an actress.
