I'm looking for the names of singers/groups that record "teenie-bopper" pop music like A-Teens, Leslie Carter, Jump5, etc. Real up-beat stuff that's fun and lyrics that are especially clean.

Any recommendations?

Aaron Carter for kids 4 - 12 years old

All the others "new" acts haven't really caught on yet (based on the musical taste of my nieces and nephews) cept for established acts like Britney or NSync. They do like a cd called Kidz Pop or something like that. It popular new recordings of pop hits sung by kids.

Aqua, SClub7, B*Witched, Steps, Spice Girls (obviously), Westlife, etc. May I ask what you need this for?

Another vote for Steps - sadly split up just recently. Great cheery tunes. Hooked on to them when they did a mini show on the Disney Channel a couple of summers ago.

Leif Garrett or the Bay City Rollers.

Oh wait, you didn't mean nowadays, did you? Because if you did, I have no response.

Well, I do enjoy this type of music, but I also work with kids, ages 8-12, that I enjoy showing new music to. A lot of them just haven't heard it yet. But I've just found it hard lately to find some groups that keep it clean and have good stuff.

So far, I've really liked:

Brooke Allison
A*Teens
B*Witched
Aaron Carter
Leslie Carter
Jump5
Mandy Moore (some stuff)
Britney Spears (early stuff )

You guys have some great recommendations. Any others?

E. None of the above

Wormwood

F. Uninvited Guest

Eternia

90s
Mandy Moore's "So Real"
Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time"
M2M (I don't know the album name but their hit song was "Mirror Mirror")

80s
Debbie Gibson "Out of the Blue"



For the even younger crowd there are the group Dreamstreet and of course Aaron Carter, in which my little cousin is in love with.

JESSICA SIMPSON!

Bellefire. Four girls from Ireland. I don't think the full album has been released in the US yet.

Where are they? They put Boston on the map! I am currently listening to their 'Step by Step' album and bouncing up and down in front of my computer. Where have all the good musicians gone? Those were the days. Give me a copy of 'Hangin Tough' and Debbie's 'Electric Youth' and life is heaven!

Who else feels the same way?

Groucho

I don't know what happened to them, but there's a guy who looks like he could be Donnie's twin who acts on that "Boomtown" show that was just cancelled. I crack up thinking about it.

glasschicken

I think that was Donnie. Donnie was also in The Sixth Sense.

Groucho

No, that was Haley Joel Osment.

Drexl

Herman's Hermits

TheKobra

Well that depends on if you live in the hood or the burbs?

I am an indie rock snob but I'll get down to Kylie Minogue or Justin Timberlake any day--the current queen and king of mainstream pop.

palebluedot

Robyn...her first album.

TheKobra

What no 50 cent! I thought all young children listened to him! Just Kidding!

Troy Stiffler

Check out Ozma. A couple of their songs may be 'boring' for you kids. But everything is mostly upbeat. I don't recall hearing any adult themes, or bad language. Great music, too!

If you want to sample a song (with, dare I say, Kazaa), check out "Rocks". Go to http://www.ozmaonline.com/ for more cool stuff.

My girlfriend's cousin loves that Aaron Carter kid

Aaron Carter is in right now with the kiddies, along with Hillary Duff and B2K.
