The songs…

If Ya Gettin’ Down

CAR: We like it!  It’s catchy, and it sounds nice.  And we LOVE the video.  I think most of it has to do with the video, and especially the DANCE!  We love that damned dance!  Especially the part of the chorus when they say “If Ya Getting’ Down” a second time, and they do that knee thing…oooo…it just sends us the sexy dance vibes!  Yeah, the song is cool, but THE DANCE man!  You see it and you want to do it!  It’s just like the Slam Dunk Dance! 

D: The dance that I almost got down!

Bea: Yeah, whatever, stop showing off.  Not all of us were born choreographers!

Keep On Movin’

CAR: Nice, fun happy song!  If it weren’t FIVE, then we wouldn’t care for it.  If we were just getting into FIVE, then we wouldn’t like it.  It would be like those “NO NO NO” songs from the first album 

D: Are we dissing my Westlifers here CAR!  I hope not!  GO SHANE!!!

CAR:  Whatever D...Anyway whre was I?  Right! It just grows on you after a while.  But since that’s not the case, WE LOVE this song.  Especially since we’ve seen THIS video.  J made us do a double take! 

Bea: J always makes me do a double take.

CAR:  And of course Sean was sexy as usual. (D : Yes, but Ritchie didn’t have to do that *THUMBS UP* thing, what was that?!  I’m sorry Ritchie my man- {another D rhyme exclusively for you all!} but that just killed it.  It KILLED it.  I was thinking to myself- “Finally Ritchie you are so GREAT in this video…then well you KILLED it”).

Don’t Wanna Let You Go

CAR: The only BLEH song in the album.  We don’t like it, we don’t hate it, we don’t even remember it exists sometimes!  It doesn’t do anything for us!  BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH BLEH! 

D: Is it just me or does that song sound like the Backstreet Boys!  I thought you lads wanted to distance yourself AWAY from that…hmm thinking that it is better for the mainstream sound?!  Maybe if you’d TOUR somewhere for once like in the STATES you wouldn’t have to resort to that…oh sorry I think I am still bitter about that NSUCK I mean NSYNC concert…

Bea: The doctor said you shouldn't get worked up D.  Remember what happened last time...

We Will Rock You –

CAR:  Ahhh…We knew this was Ritchie’s song.  Only since “Everybody Get Up” was he able to indulge in his ROCKER side.  But we feel that if something’s not broke, then don’t fix it!  QUEEN had a GREAT version of this song, and FIVE’s rendition didn’t do it justice.  Still, it’s a good song, especially with Ritchie getting into the chorus.  He’s such a ROCKER!

Two Sides to Every Story

CAR: //Do dun dunt duh dant//  If ya couldn’t tell, those were the first notes of the song.  When we first heard the clips, we knew we’d dig it.  Um…huh…what do you think this song is about?  Well, maybe all of the freaks who think they’ll meet one of the FIVERS, and ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR BABIES!!!  And you know that none of us from FIVE I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABY are actually fantasizing about it…BEA! 

D: I think you meant you CAR. *cough* GROUPIE waiting to happen!!!!

CAR: I’m not fantasizing D.  I KNOW I’m going to have Sean’s children- and they will be beautiful!

You Make Me a Better Man

CAR: It’s interesting how you can tell which of the FIVERS wrote which song.  SCOTT wrote this one, man!  Obviously, with how he’s into the CHEESY 80’s love ballads!  And since D is of the same sort, this is one of her favorite songs.  Cheesy, lovie dubbie, what more could you ask for? 

D: “And when I search my soul I find…A better place to be around…This song is so cheesy…But it’s so good….But when you listen to it long enough….you know that you want to be the one to make the guys A BETTER MAN….ALRIGHT…”

Invincible

CAR: “I’ve got to find a way….To tell Ritchie that he’s gay…Sean wrote this song…even though it was for J…I’ll listen anyway…Because Abs isn’t singing” 

D: CAR!  I don’t think people want to hear your rendition!

Bea:  HEY I resent that J comment!  This song should have had MORE J

D: D here!  I’m taking this one AWAY from CAR!  (And hear all the people rejoice!!!!)  I like this song.  Scott sounds so sickeningly sweet and props to Sean for playing the piano himself! 

CAR:  Yeah he’s the only one with any REAL musical talent!

D:  Before anyone can say anything- this song is NOT reminiscent of Westlife'’ “Swear It Again” *cough* yeah it is *cough*.  Is the sound for main-stream purposes so they can crack a certain market?  Maybe they should TOUR…I’m sorry I don’t know where that came from…I think I’m still a little bitter……and I “Swear it all over again!”

Bea: YOU THINK?  Remember what the Doctor said D!

It’s Alright

CAR:  Okay…let’s dance upon the SEAEA.  That wasn’t a typo peoples.  Scott’s accent is apparent in this one.  But you know it’s cute for us!  The song is mellow.  It makes you nod your head and BEA likes the fact that J “sing-raps”.  We just wanted to mention that they say “ALRIGHT” and “YEAH” a LOT on this album. It reminds us of the counting and evil J laughs from the first album…but hey if you want to “change realitaieae” Scottie we think “It’s Alright”.

Bea: THE STICK!

D: Bea!!!

Serious

CAR:  Funnie!  We like how Abs’ voice cracks in the beginning.  And hey look there goes that "YEAH YEAH YEAH" again!  Coincidence?!  We like how Abs’ does that “Do-do-do-do” in the tune of the James Bond theme.  Abs, Abs, Abs.  Even I have to admit he’s not THAT entirely useless…at least in this song. 

D: THANK YOU CAR.  You are such a praiser...ummm NOT)

CAR: Overall, love the song.  It’s one of our favorites in the whole album.

How Do Ya Feel –

CAR: “How do ya feel?  You want to feel ALRIGHT!”…and there it appears again…ALRIGHT.  Hmm is this a trend pattern here?  But you know we’re not trying to imply anything.  The three of us LIKE this song.  We do.  It makes you want to go and grab a Pepsi doesn’t it…ALRIGHT!  We’re SO glad that they decided to include it in the album.  It doesn’t even sound like a commercial (Abs’ part does though, USELESS once again.

D: CAR!   Stop trying to push your opinions upon the impressionable minds of our audience.  You know that they actually internalize our comments and may take it to heart.  Psychologically speaking one can tell by analyzing the cortex of the brain that…oohh I’m sorry about integrating ACTUAL meaningful thought in this review...it must have been the shock of hearing SEAN actually sing on this album!

CAR:  WELL, anyways…(enough of that!) WE LOVE THIS SONG! 

Bea: And it’s all about J, my friends!

Everyday

CAR:  OK, it starts out cool, but don’t be fooled.  I often think that this is one of the cool songs, when it first starts out.  And then, you come to the RAP!  What is this?  Are they talking or are they rapping?  And “You got me TRIPPIN’”?!  What tha?  I think it was Abs again, forcing his “ghetto” lingo upon the group.  Come on guys!  I know you can do better!! 

D:  Even Scott can’t save this one with his “OOH Baby” at the end.  But hey much props to Ritchie!  It’s a song in which he can show his vocal stylings!  He is ALWAYS singing on this album!  And he actually sounds GOOD!  I’m not lying!

CAR:  You’re opinion D!  Not mine!  But hey I’ll agree he sounds good!  But you know I AM LYING!

Mr. Z 

CAR: OOOOO…my personal favorite of the album.  And it’s not even a Sean song!  Who knew?!  I don’t know, it just cracks me up.  It has a reggae sound…and…well, it’s the J laugh man! 

Bea: Yes, it’s all about the great J!

CAR:  And they just did this song for fun! 

D:  Okay what the hell is about the cat wearing caps?  But the song is catchy and hey if I was 6’4” I wouldn’t want to drive my mini anymore!

Sunshine

CAR: Two words: Sean song!  OOOOO…soulful sweet voice.  ::Heart thumps::  “Gonna keep on loving yoooou…...…!”  The song has soul!  ‘Nuff said! 

D: Who agrees with me that this song was written by ABS for Danielle?  Anybody!  Anybody!  You KNOW it was.  Umm I think it was during the “break up “ period.  Yeah...you already know my opinion on that one!

Battlestar

CAR:  All I got to say is *Shakes head*  They’re disgracing Battlestar Galactica!  No, but I like the song.  I like the parts when we get to shout out the chorus!  *Like this!**Specialists!**Rewind!**One more time!* 

D and Bea: You mean when CAR shouts out with the chorus!

D:  J and Abs rapping in this song is better than their Everyday crap.  Ah boys why can’t we rap like this on every track?!  And hey we’d put our hands up when you asked us!!  YES SIR.  Just don’t wear the heating pads Abs babe.  It kills it!

*Bonus Track* Inspector Gadget

CAR:  Our first question was : what possessed these guys to write this song?!  We hope it was in hopes it would get into the movie soundtrack, because if it was just because, then they are, in a word, RETARDED…  “Oh, today instead of writing the usual songs…I feel like I wanna write about Rainbow Brite for a change!”  (And those of you youngins who don’t know who Rainbow Brite is—TOO BAD!  Ask a child of the 80’s, man.

D: Hey CAR are you talking shmack about my Rainbow Brite song!!!  That was my best work! 

“Rainbow Brite she’s a world full of colors.  There is no other.  She sprinkles her stars and she rides Starlight her horse so far.  OOH OOH. 

And there are the sprites that help her out.  There’s Violet the girl with glasses!  Dun Dun Dun Dun….Violet’s in disguise with glasses! 

And she floats and flies into the sky.  She’s cool because she’s Rainbow Brite!  Forget the Care Bears or My Little Pony…or even Gem and the All Stars.  If she were a smurf she’d be better than Smurfette
(And hey is it just me or is it strange there was ONE girl smurf
for the entire Smurf community….). 
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! 

CAR:  And you thought D was just good for her cynical remarks!
 

This Richelle is back!  She's the one that takes you not to to main page but to the "Sounds Like" Page.  Why?  She doesn't want you to miss out on more of BEA, CAR, and D's ear worthy comments!
