What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this family-safe collection includes a lot of retreads. Check out the track list before buying, to make sure you don't already have these songs on other CDs. Family members of all ages will enjoy this perky compilation (with the possible exception of moody teenagers, who'd rather be locked in their rooms listening to Audioslave).
What's the story?
GIRLZ ROCK features 15 perky tracks performed by young women and featured in recent Disney movies. The material is all absolutely family-safe; the only danger here is that you may already have many of these songs on other compilations. But let's say this is your first Disney girl-power purchase. It's a fine one to start with, as it features some of the brightest young female Disney stars performing familiar songs from recent hit movies. High points are Raven Symone's understated cover of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," the Duff sisters' surprisingly adorable take on the Go-Gos' "Our Lips Are Sealed," and Myra's uplifting show-closer, "Miracles Happen."
Is it any good?
The two Disney inevitabilities -- excellent production standards and an empowering you-can-do-it message -- are strongly in evidence. The instrumental tracks, anonymous as always, are flawless (wouldn't it be fun to know who these terrific studio players are)? And as always, it's rockin' family fun.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about which songs they like best and why. Is it somewhat of a relief not to have to listen to songs of sadness or sexuality for a change?

Too sexist.
This is too focused on the girl gender. Sexism is NOT a good trait, and any girl who shouts "Girls rule boys drool!" will not only loose alot of rep, but they might get beat up in tougher schools with less rules. And don't throw "But females were abused in history!" at me, I have two good reasons why this shouldn't be an excuse:
1: Its 2005. Of coarse there are still some problems, such as lower payments for females, but:
2: Just because girls were and are being abused doesn't mean turning the world against boys will help anything. If girls are given more rights to boys, which then are (An example is a rule in a certion YMCA club that only people wearing skirts can sit on couches, NOT kelts and skirts, just skirts.), then in the next few generation this whole things going to happen again, and some CD called "Disney Boyz Rock" will hit music store shelfs.

I love this CD!
This CD is one of my favorites! I found it two years after I got it, and it was a total blast from the past! Of course song will be repeated from other CD's, but if you own only one or two Disney CD's, it's good. I also don't beleive it's sexist. It's just about the girl artists from Disney. And doesn't every little girl says "Girls rule, boys drool."? This CD is perfectly fine. It's fun, bubbly, andamazing to sing to in the shower!

A great starter cd or for the music guru!
We got this for our daughter for Christmas and she loves it, she loves to turn it up and dance in her room to it all day. She is 6 yrs old so this is a starter cd for her as she doesnt understand a lot about music, artists, etc so we thought this would be a good one to get her into the music world. I like the positive message in it as we monitor what she listens to and watches.
Its upbeat, fun, positive and the songs are from Disney movies so the kids know them! I say get it!

RIP OFF.
I guarantee you probably already own one of the CDs with one of these songs on it. It's nothing new-- just a collection of old songs. You're basically paying Disney to put together a playlist for you.
