I'll be honest, as a bloke in my 30's when 5ive were big, I thought they were absolutely brilliant, they managed to appeal to everyone, not just school girls like many boy bands at the time!! 'We will rock you' with Queen is awesome!!!
I know, right? Damn, I wish he still looked like that, sort of, although it would probably be considered kind of strange if he still did, with fashion today. But I thought he was a real cutie, back then, too. ;)
+Christinafan2002 the main issue is that he looked much healthier back then. He had a lot of problems after the band broke up and his relatively short run of solo. I believe there was a lot of drinking and probably drugs involved as well and he still doesnt look like he fully recovered. But last time he was seen somewhere he seemed to have looked better, so perhaps we may get "our" Abz back afterall :)
So 5ive was probably the most successful in breaking America at that time, right? With BSB and *NSYNC reigned supreme, the competition was so stiff back then.
+Charmaine Santiago and failed.... Which is why they were 1 hit wonders. We don't do that lip sync shit here. What's the point of going to a concert or performance just to hear the CD?
+Jason King yeah they had potential to break it in America but they refused to do touring w/ NSYNC because they were apparently burnt out and were a bit intimidated probably cause they couldn't meet the expectation of what NSYNC did. They realized that they had to work harder. It's a shame cause I did enjoy this band, they were just too lazy. But i think that was all pop/boy bands coming from the UK...they never sung live. Steps, psh...shit.
Whenever they did perform live, they always sounded great. Yeah it was rare for groups from the UK to sing live. S Club 7, remember them? They almost never sang live, but whenever they did, they sounded GREAT. 5ive once did open up for NSYNC or something.
I didn't see it as racist. In fact, I forgot his name (now I know it's Sean), so I immediately knew who she/he was talking about when she gave the description. It's just a description imo, not a label.
I think this was just an off performance. Maybe they were nervous, but they all can actually sing really good. But this was definitely NOT one of their best performances.
I think this is the only performance I've seen where they are singing live. They don't sound bad at all to me... I'd much rather see them sing live and a bit out of tune here and there than just lipsynching, it's ridiculous!
@@Harryhas26 You can find here on UA-cam their live performance at Rock in Rio... It's... bad... The only one who seems to have some control of his voice is Rick. Sean, surprisingly, justs sings out of tune...
I'll tell you how it's racist. You don't just label someone as Asian/ black…that's just rude. Yeah you could be an African living in Japan. But I think you misunderstood, what I mean't in my first sentence "He isn't asian…he's from Leeds" when I say that, I mean that he was born there. Sheesh.

Before One Direction, It's 5ive! They could be more famous in US but they decided to focus in uk.
I need to return to the 90s some how. best era ever
I missed those TRL days I loved that song.
Rich gets so giddy and excited when those girls start screaming. it's so cute and hilarious..
omg I feel like I'm 10 years old again. Love this!
Carson really did blend in with 5ive with his outfit! Haha
It's so good to see a performance of the US remix of When The Lights Go Out!
Still love these boys from then until now
5ive really started out huge in the US, shame they couldn't keep up due to some spectacular mismanagement..
I swear this feels like just yesterday.
I'm in this video! They picked me to go up to the studio. I was like 17. *sigh* oh, to be young again!
Classic... 5ive is GOLD.
Finally a video of them singing live
Abz looked so cute here, he has really nice eyebrows shape.
I know, right? Damn, I wish he still looked like that, sort of, although it would probably be considered kind of strange if he still did, with fashion today. But I thought he was a real cutie, back then, too. ;)

I sure hope so.
i miss you guys
Old is Gold.
5ive was the version of British Bsb/nsync 😂
they were more like new kids on the block but were part of the same era in music as nsync and bsb
Imo... Better than those with banging tunes!
Oooh! As a vhs scanner myself, this looks REALLY GOOD for retro footage!!! Bravo to your technique
Todos talentosos
these boys almost became the new beatles!
"Hey, we're 6ix!" - Carson Daley
Love them so much miss them too
2012 and still like them
2023 and still like them.

Lol at those girls - not being very subtle as to who their faves were! :)
Love It!
SAME!
Me too.
Aww...Abs didn't do his rap😞
I was here
These dudes had to sing live for America...

Charmaine Santiago you hit the nail on the head
They weren't one hit wonders.
That's kinda racist don't you think? He isn't asian…he's from Leeds, England bro! They can all sing btw, that's why they were in an amazing band!
You do realize you can be from England and still be of Asian race?
I didn't see it as racist. In fact, I forgot his name (now I know it's Sean), so I immediately knew who she/he was talking about when she gave the description. It's just a description imo, not a label.
Camera guy has Carson looking gigantic, because I’ve always remembered Sean being tall
What are the odds of the video being at #5 on the countdown lol
Weird how artists sing live in America but can’t be bothered in the U.K.!
I noticed that. They didn’t sing live in the UK but they did in here in the US.
My point is, it's probably unfair to label people.
The one that mocked his companion was the unkind part of the interview
I think this was just an off performance. Maybe they were nervous, but they all can actually sing really good. But this was definitely NOT one of their best performances.

It's crazy the amount of performances where they are not. This was the first video I've found where they're live.

when was this?
+Jennifer Ramirez 1992
+Johny Bitches hahaha as if
1997 or 1998
1998 more like
@@starlicense No this was 1999 or more likely 2000
why the fork do they look so tiny! LOL something is wrong with the video, they look like dwarfs :D
Anna Fresa Carson is like 6'3, Abs is only like 5'7 with the others not being much taller.
What is your point??
How is that racist?? And where you are from does not = your race or nationality. I could be an African living in Japan.
Looking back the dance choreography was so simple and cheesy. 😂
Had to be very coordinated to do it though without tripping. haha.
I think it still holds up. Better than Tiktok "dances" anyway.
The only one that can sing half decent is the Asian/Black guy. This is also the only time I've ever heard them not lip sync.
Rubbish. You do that dance routine in a leather jacket and we'll see how good your singing voice is.
I'll tell you how it's racist. You don't just label someone as Asian/ black…that's just rude. Yeah you could be an African living in Japan. But I think you misunderstood, what I mean't in my first sentence "He isn't asian…he's from Leeds" when I say that, I mean that he was born there. Sheesh.
The girls not screaming for Sean, typical. 🙄Atleast Americans are consistent when it comes to racial biases.
SAME!
