    Kiddie New Jack Swang In A Disc

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 8, 2004

    Pros: Love All Jams!

    Cons: All five of them need to sing MORE!

    Hi-5 was a pre-pubescent group of horny teenage boys looking to make a quick buck. Hey, I'm not aversed to theidea here. Produced by Teddy Riley, Bernard Belle, Eric White Foster and some others formulated some kiddie New Jack Swang. Love ever...y last track. My only problem is that only Tony Thompson did every lead on this album. The other four were not present and accounted. Number two was that all five did not do background vocals. The backgrounds were done by sessions singers such as Roz Davis, LaGaylia Frazier, Teddy Riley, Dave Hollister, Bernard Belle (Regina Belle's brother) and among a few others. To me, this is a good thing, but also a omen for destruction. Having one horny teen singing every track is making it seem like he is the only one that should be singing. Other than that, I give the album an A- for Tony's only efforts and slamming background vocals. Read more Less

    EXCELLENT DEBUT

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 6, 2000

    Hi-Five's debut is a cleverly produced album containing a combination of new jack tunes and pop ballads. The first singles, "I Just Can't Handle It" and "Just Another Girlfriend" are new jack classics and recieved commericial airplay. Although their... breakthrough didn't come until the single "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)" was released and topped the pop charts. It's follow-up "I Can't Wait Another Minute" shows the groups balladry side and became a Top 10 hit. Though their voices are not quite unique as Bell Biv Devoe's or more developed as Boyz II Men's, this is a decent album to listen to and is actually worth spending money on. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Hi-Five

  • All Music Guide

    Kiddie-pop, New Jack vocals, and hip-hop flavored uptempo tracks were Hi-Five's stock-in-trade as they tried to ride the wave of popularity for youthful groups in the early '90s. Their first album did decently and even got them a hit single, but was far from the level of the champion in this genre, Boyz II Men.
