Playlist suggestions: Kids (11th) birthday party

Bard

Hi y'all... DJ'ing for a little girl's 11th birthday party on (Easter) Sunday and looking for suggestions for the playlist... I'm thinking the likes of the following:

Ke$ha
Beyonce
Lady Gaga
Katy Perry
Black Eyed Peas
Rihanna
Jason Darulo
Jedward/Vanilla Ice
Glee cast
JLS
Cheryl Cole
Sidney Samson (Radio edit!)

Any suggestions?

Musicman2000

Anything in the charts really, or have a look at any of the regional radio stations web sites, most of their listiners are mostly 11 year olds:)

Almost all of those are music that isn't child-friendly so make sure you play the radio versions (rihanna, lady gaga, ke$ha, etc)

Lilly Allen may go down well. I remember her first album being a winner with a bunch of 5-11 yr olds at a party awhile back

Bard

@musicman - good point... I'll have a look at iradio's current playlist

punkindrublic: But while most of those acts may generally be "not child friendly", children are still their biggest audience, sadly... but yes, obviously I'll be playing radio versions.

There'll be plenty of adults about too - the party takes place in a pub (Hey, I don't agree with that really, but it's not my kid and it's a few quid for me, eh?)

old_gregg: Good point re: Lily

billybigunz

Rush, Viper XXL, Kvitta. those sorts of lads.

Pace2008

Awaiting suggestions of minimal techno and deep house artists.

EuskalHerria

Yoji biomehanika and a bit of showtek would set the party off. Then maybe a bit of dutch gabber.

Download the charts at the minute and it should be grand.

MikeHoncho

Anyone who has come from reality TV like JLS and Leona Lewis and all those twonks.

punkindrublic

Well why not go for miley Cyrus, justin beiber, high school musical, demi lovato, jonas brothers, etc. FFS ke$ha sings songs about "turn around boy and let me hit that, don't be a little bitch with your chit chat, just show me where your dicks at"

Bard
