Summary: The Poor Man's Backstreet Boys
Review: Ahh - what fun. 5 "likely lads" from the UK with minimum talent lumped together to sing and dance (badly) to very catchy pop music. OK - that doesn't sound like I actually like them, but they are a lot of fun and I did buy the DVD after all. The multi-angle songs are a hoot. You can pick which one of the lads you want to watch and the camera stays on them (even as they forget the words, have to watch the other lads dancing to try and keep up etc). Buy it just for the camp (which I think went WAY over their heads).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie
Review: Granted that the beginning of the movie where the old guy is talking is a little boring, it's all good because it builds up the suspense of seing the five lads in action. I personally loved this video just because of how great the guys look in it (especially J and Abs!). The best songs they played on here were Battlestar and Shake. Before this video I've never heard these songs before, and it just made me love them so much more. I highly reccomend getting this video. It'll be all worth our while!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 5ive RULES!!!!
Review: I love the band 5ive and I was so happy when I got this movie. It was wicked! They are so hot. This is the best movie ever! You get to watch their concert, and you get special back stage fotage "5ive weeks with 5ive"! Its so cool! They play some of my favorite songs: Battlestar, Shake, Everybody Get Up, When The Lights Go Out, Its The Things You Do, Got The Feelin', Until The Time Is Through, Slam Dunk Da Funk, If Ya Gettin' Down, Serious, Two Sides To Every Story, Don't Wanna Let You Go, Invincible, Keep On Movin', and We Will Rock You! 5ive is the BEST band! They are so hot and I love all their songs. Ritchie and Abs are the hotest. If you like 5ive I say, GET THIS MOVIE. Its WILL ROCK YOU!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The next best thing to seeing them live!
Review: I, luckily had the experience of seeing Five live (In 2000, when they visited Auckland), and it was brilliant. Getting this video and seeing the concert was just like reliving the night itself. Which shows how good this video is (I can't afford a DVD player).
The concert on the video is from Manchester, to 12,000 fans. The WHOLE concert is included, so no you're not getting ripped off at all. The track listing for the concert is:
1. Battlestar
2. Shake
3. Everybody Get Up
4. When The Lights Go Out
5. It's The Things U Do (My favourite!)
6. Got The Feelin'
7. Until The Time Is Through
8. Slam Dunk Da Funk
9. If Ya Gettin' Down
10. Serious
11. Two Sides To Every Story (Another of my favourites!)
12. Don't Wanna Let You Go
13. Invincible
14. Keep On Movin'
15. We Will Rock You

15 high quality songs, most are big hits or the best songs off their two albums that were out at the time. My favourite songs were the two I mentioned above, and the finale "We Will Rock You". You get loads of great close-ups of J, Sean, Ritchie, Abs and Scott and they talk loads between the songs, it's very funny.

Also included on the video is the mini documentary "Five weeks with Five", presented by gorgeous Five member Ritchie, this is a behind the scenes look at the preperation of the tour. It's very funny and informative.

Overall, a brilliant video. You get 80 minutes of viewing pleasure, a whole concert and a documentary. Great stuff! A must for any Five fan.

Summary: A Must For Hardcore 5ive Fans
Review: If you enjoy 5ive and haven't been able to see them headline a concert (aka American fans) then this is a definite must. This is from last year's Invincible tour which ran through the UK and Europe. Like the Editor's notes, this has 15 of 5ive's songs, and 5ive-cams (two songs only - Everybody Get Up and If Ya Gettin' Down) you can choose to have the cam on your fave 5iver. The concert is great, full of energy and cute moments. The DVD also includes pictures, a Backstage pass where Scott shows the dancers', musicians', and 5ive's dressing rooms, along with production, wardrobe, and the like. Also, they show Live And Kicking's Five weeks with 5ive. This shows the guys rehearsing for their tour, their stylist shopping for things like J's preferred boxers, and outfits for the tour. They show clips of the boys in Russia and England. The video for "We Will Rock You" is also included. You also can have different options for surround sound and stereo sound for the concert, along with lyrics being displayed on the bottom of the screen. Filled with great moments with the guys, and well over 2 hours of them, this is a *must.* I got it as a birthday present and I enjoyed it. You will too.

Summary: good show
Review: Some people may think FIVE is a regular boy band, like many others, but that is not true. They surely sing pop music and have dance routines, but that's not what must be noticed when you see them performing live. Five has great singers, with lots of rap introductions to their songs and some interesting lyrics.This DVD contains their full concert from the "Invincible tour" with the best songs of their 2 CDs. From"everybody get up" to "Two sides to every story", the show has great moments.

You can also find in this DVD a 25 minutes documentary previously shown in BBC. It's called "Five weeks with five", showing their trip to Russia, their reharsal. There's also a backstage area showing people from their crew in Manchester stadium, right before the beginning of the show.

Unfortunately, this DVD only brings the video "we will rock you". I think they should have included in this release the videos of "don't wanna let you go" and "keep on movin'".

15 very outstanding songs, sung and performed with incredible energy by 5ive...in Manchester. They also talk between some of the songs which has alot of very funny moments with the guys, and they interact with the auidence.
***-2. 25 minute documentary ..Five weeks with 5ive it shows the preperation they had to go thru before the tour. The rehearsals and costume fittings and singing rehearsals. It's presented by 5ive member Rich. There is also alot of funny moments in this documentary as well.
***-3. a short backstage tour before the show. Your Tour Guide is 5ive member Scott. He takes you on a tour behind the scenes and introduce you to important people behind the scenes. He also let's you see the guys dressing room and watch them hang out before the show.
***-4. Bonus promo video: "We Will Rock You" *sensational* their remake of queen's "we will rock you" is crazy cool.
***-5. Optional on-screen lyrics ( cool feature you can sing along with the concert)
***-6. Photo Section.. look at pics of 5ive
***-7. 5ive-Cam- the DVDS best feature...For two of the songs "Everybody get up" & " If Ya gettin Down" their is the special feature..the concert was recorded using one camera for each 5ive member so you can watch your favorite 5ive member even when he isn't singing the lead.
Overall this is a kick A** dvd and i advise any 5ive fan to buy this dvd and relive the glory days of the best ... group to ever rock the world!

Summary: Five Live!!! the best
Review: This DVD really does give the same effect as being there i went to the concert the night this dvd was filmed and believe me you cant get better than the 5 Funked up hotties. the extra footage (5ive weeks with 5 was televised her in the UK on BBC1 of a saturday morning and itis great to have them all on the same dvd as the concert.

Its a shame now to know that the boys have split as they were one of the best in the industry, but as long as you have their dvd and vhs releases their memory will live on forever!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great buy!!!
Review: This has to be one of the best investments I've made lately. If you are a Five fan (especially Americans, like me) you need to have this DVD! The multi-camera angles are awesome! And the performance itself is just great. I wish I could have seen them on tour live, but this was the next best thing! There is a lot of extra footage, including '5 weeks with Five' and a Backstage Pass. The lyrics option is also cool. Buy this...I would not want to be without it!
