Here's a subject that's fraught with danger for anybody interested in
maintaining any kind of cred, but I probably don't have any anyway.
My daughter is somewhere between nine and ten, which means she's
outgrowing the kiddie CDs and is now in the target market for the whole
Disney Channel tweener-pop crowd. I recognize that she's going to like
what she likes, but I'm hoping I can at least nudge her in some
directions that I don't hate (to be specific: I dislike thumpy
electronic dance stuff, and hip-hop).
She hasn't really started seeking out new stuff yet, but she's making
noises about wanting an MP3 player. I'd like to get her one and preload
it with some stuff. She's already a big fan of Puffy AmiYumi, which I
think is a good sign. She has also latched onto Bianca Ryan, but I think
that's more because of Bianca's age than anything; I don't really see
her going for the R&B diva stuff in a big way.
I've heard some of the Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana stuff, and it actually
sounds pretty listenable to me: real guitars and melodies and such. But
I've only heard a few tracks, and I'm not sure how representative they are.
Any other ideas?
