Review: My three year old daughter and five year old son have gotten such a kick out of this toy. I usually turn off the music so that they can freestyle and put on their own show. They have fun watching themselves on TV and hearing themselves on microphone. The toy is easy for them to use on their own. My only problem is that they're both camera hogs! I would recommend skipping the cartridges and just playing your own music on a separate CD player. You can plug your iPod or other MP3 player into the toy, too. Or, just let them sing their hearts out without any background music. This is a hit for any child who is his/her own biggest fan!

Review: I bought this for my son's fourth birthday. All 3 of my kids (one older, one younger) fight over it anytime it's on- but they only know one song from all the cartriges (You've Got a Friend in Me- Toy Story). We wound up just putting a CD player next to the TV and playing their own music while they could still watch themselves.
I agree with those who said the picture quality is bad. On mine, it messes with the color- takes the blue out of everything, so anything black looks kind of dark greenish, anything blue looks grey, etc. I think it's wierd, but it doesn't phase the kids and if they had more "younger kid" friendly songs, we'd probably like it a whole lot more. Like more soundtrack songs from the Disney movies, Wiggles songs, Preschool songs, etc.

Review: The reviews for this toy have been so harsh I thought I'd give my 2 cents. Look, it's not professional video equipment to say the least, HOWEVER, I haven't heard my kids laugh from pure enjoyment of a toy in a very long time. They did with this! My daughter received this for her 6th birthday and (of course) loves to watch herself sing and dance on TV. My 3 year old son thinks its was the best thing since watching things get flushed down the toilet, and hey, if it can prevent that from happening, and have them enjoy themselves at the same time, it was worth every penny.

Review: I bought this because my 20-month old and 4 yr. old love seeing themselves on our camcorder and digital camera. This would be a much better toy if the songs were "kid friendly"- as in, songs they actually know. My kids don't listen to the radio to know these kidzbop songs. I will probably be taking this one back, and it was the one Christmas present that I looked forward most to them opening.

Review: This item may have been more enjoyable for my 2 year old if it had songs he knows like twinkle twinkle or old mcDonald. He new none of the songs, and the picture quality was terrible. We returned this item to the store. It is not worth the money. It is a shame too because we bought it after our son got such a kick out of seeing himself in a video camera monitor at the store. Maybe Fisher Price will try this again with better quality picture and songs more for a toddler.
