Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Most of the songs focus on some sort of longing for love, covering relationship highs and lows. Although the songs are all about crushes and heartbreak, the lyrics are usually positive, but they can be a little stereotypical: "I would climb the highest mountain, I would do it for you."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Although most of the songs are about crushes and dating drama, a few songs get a tad bit sexy with lines like "Baby, baby, please just dim the lights, wanna treat you like your birthday, and give it to you your way, I wanna give it to you."
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The founding members, Mark Ballas and Derek Hough are famous for being dancers on the hit television show, Dancing with the Stars. Because of this, the band is attracting lots of attention and fans from the show.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About BHB

Parents need to know that the founding members of this band are dancers on the hit television show Dancing With the Stars. Like the show, the album is all about high-energy dance grooves -- with a little sexiness, too.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about capitalizing on fame. Do you think this album would be getting attention some of the members weren't famous television dancers? Although the band has been together for a number of years and Ballas and Hough have been musicians before there even was a show called Dancing with the Stars, do you think the television notoriety will help this album?
