Why We Rated This on for Ages 7 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Each choir is working toward a $250,000 prize that will be donated to the charity of the winning celebrity director's choice. Choirs include people of a variety of ages, races, genders, and economic backgrounds who have worked together to find "one voice."
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence & scariness:

    Not an issue.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    T-Mobile's logo is featured prominently onscreen when viewers are asked to call in and vote for their favorite choir. The General Electric brand is also mentioned when the company donates $250,000 to support disabled American veterans.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Clash of the Choirs

Parents need to know that this is a rare primetime program that families can actually watch together. There's no need to worry about sex, violence, or questionable language; this is about as squeaky clean as you can get, content-wise. Positive role models are in abundance, and the show's goal is to raise money for a range of worthwhile charities. There is some commercialism at play -- including subtle promotion of the featured celebrities' own brands -- but philanthropy is the real focus.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the fact that you don't need a celebrity's help to give back to your local community through volunteerism and philanthropy. What are some ways that you can get involved where you live? Parents can also use the show as a way to encourage children to take on a charitable project of their own choosing by supporting an organization that interests them.
