What Parents Need to Know

About V

Parents need to know that there is nary a hint of sexual innuendo here. And even though Vanessa is another attractive pop diva wannabe, the album, refreshingly, doesn't resort to overt sexual marketing.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the appeal of someone like Vanessa Hudgens. Does she talk about what you talk about with your friends? Does she seem like someone you'd hang out with instead of someone too glamorous to be a regular teen? When she talks about boys and high school relationships, do you feel the same way she does? Why or why not? Do you think she's that way in real life, or does this have to do with selling her album? If you saw her in High School Musical, does she seem different than her character?

    Something CSM Missed...

    This album is great for teens, but parents of kids may want to skip the song "Let Go." CSM forgot to mention that the song uses the word "hell."
