Has KidzBop ever been sued?

You know KidzBop, right? The CD they advertise on TV. It's a compilation of a bunch of popular songs, but they're sung by children instead of the original singers.

I was wondering if anyone had heard of a lawsuit between them and the original singers. Personally, if I were to write a hit song, and later hear it sung by someone else and sold, I'd be pretty mad. After all, the lyrics and music belong to the artist until copyrights run out, and since these are popular and up-to-date songs, they're still in effect. Plus, the whole intellectual property thing.

So, has anyone ever sued them? If not, why not?

Answers:
No, actually. Once you've published a song, anyone can pay a compulsory mechanical license fee and record their own cover version of the song.

I think the original singers gets a peice of profits from Kidz Bop or Kidz Bop has to pay for the rights to re-make and sell.

Nothing to lose for the original singers...it's just their songs sold in another medium.
Do you know if they actually got permission from the original artists of the songs for children to sing the songs and put them onto cd? If they did then why would anyone sue and why do you have a problem with it? Lol.
