What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about the different music styles -- ballads, dancing music, punk, and so on. How does the music work with the lyrics to establish a style or mood?

What's the story?
Has Skye Sweetman watched a few too many Avril Lavigne videos? Who cares? Like most of the cast on RADIO DISNEY JAMS VOL. 7, she delivers a delightful performance on "Tangled Up in Me," both on the CD itself and the enclosed bonus video DVD. Other high points are "Geek Love (Oh My Gosh Version)" by fan_3, in which the hot girl falls for the geeky guy, and Raven-Symone's remedial-boyfriend instruction manual, "Backflip." Heartthrob-in-training Jesse McCartney provides the adolescent mush with a sentimental ballad, "Because You Live," and Smash Mouth comes through with infectious punk-infusion on "Come On, Come On."

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
There are no surprises on this CD, but it is well-mastered and nicely sequenced. Disney's usual excellent production standards go far to make up for all that may be lacking in the originality department, and this collection comes off as a fun, family-safe showcase of some adorable young performers with a lot of talent and gently positive, occasionally instructional messages. You -- and your kids -- could pick worse role models.
