First Time Hearing Five Star - “Rain Or Shine” Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@gerardroll6468]

They were like the British version of The Jacksons & they had many great songs, like System Addict, Let me be the One, The Slightest Touch & Can’t wait another Minute. Fantastic choice here family!!! 👍😁👍

[@CandleLight1974]

Indeed they were touted as that and they could have been. What a shame that their father managed them so badly and made it all about making as much money as possible for himself.

I lived in the UK in 1985-86 (and returned briefly in the spring of ‘87), and Five Star were EVERYWHERE - massively popular. They just barely missed the top 40 here in the US, but were pretty popular on the R&B charts. Fun group. Their album “Silk & Steel” (which has this song) is a real winner - every track on there is a gem.

[@rosa32]

My mum introduced me to this band. I loved this band from being a very little girl. She still listens to them now. Please check out more. They're a UK band.

[@MichaelPayne1374]

Loved FiveStar in the 80's , fantastic band, they were very popular here in the UK, their song "Slightest Touch" is a total banger Denise's voice is great on that track & you WILL want to dance, "system Addict" & "can't wait another minute" too great songs, such nostalgia listening to them, i still play them myself , man the 80's was the decade to be in , our very own jackson 5 type group, great memories.

[@CandleLight1974]

Denise's voice is still ridiculously good.

[@gerardroll6468]

Asia, BJ… They’re the famous Pearson siblings (all 5) & the group was formed in the early 80’s in the UK… Stedman (the oldest), Doris, Lorraine, Deniece & Delroy (the youngest) from Essex.

[@MightMouse2174]

They had a good run from 85-88 alot of hits in the US ... Had a major crush on Denise ( lead singer ) back in the day

[@teralmiles]

I was lucky to grow up in the 80’s and witness this beautiful pop family. They had so many hits from 84 to early 90’s. They were massive in the UK. We used to learn their dance routines and dance on our shed roof to their songs. This was their biggest hit in the UK reaching number 2 on the top 40. Glad to see people today appreciating great pop music at its finest. ❤

[@timothyb3121]

I hope you guys react to their Hits. Like "All Fall Down" "System Addict". "Let me be the One". " Love Take Over". " Slightest Touch." " "Can't wait another minute". They should have been HUGE in America. They were a very good group.💯.

[@johnraymondponce7783]

Five Star!!! My favorite group from back in the day.

[@mallaka8]

Finally someone reacts to Five Star. Britain's answer to Jackson 5 with numerous big hits in 80s. Such a great pop band and one of my favs as a kid. Loved them.

[@girlsjustwanttohavefun5658]

Yesss there my favourite band!!

[@darranbewick5292]

These have many great tunes to pick from. OH yes and they are all siblings.

[@scottvanhille5688]

I seriously suggest "All Fall Down" and "If I Say Yes." Those are my favorite hits from them. They are a fun pop band.

[@susanmccallum1719]

Wow, I remember these guys! A song by them I really like is 'All Fall Down'.

[@jarnvior]

Five Star - Wow this takes me back, this group was my first ever concert at the Brixton Academy.

[@sarablack2547]

Lifelong Five Star fan here. Please do more... more Five Star! Such a fun visual group. They were always evolving. And yes one of the sweetest voices! In fact they all sang.

[@eleanorhunnigal5583]

Love me a 5 Star...nuff lovely memories... of my teenage transitional years...thanks for sharing and honouring thia wonderful musical group...🎉😊

[@alyarout]

love love love this group. janet jackson loved this group back in the late 80's. one of my most beloved groups and i am surprised that you reacted to them. system addict, stay out of my life, the slightest touch, find the time, let me be the one, can't wait another minute, don't you know i love it, if i say yes, live giving love and the brilliant (strong as steel from the movie ghost dad by bill cosby) these are few of their wonderful songs. this band is awesome. they were called the british jacksons. by the way they were one family sisters and brothers. their lead singer deniece pearson sang with tito jackson live. thank you so much for reacting to rain or shine. you just made my day.

[@columkinlan866]

Aww five Star . Massive in the UK from 85 to 88 Had some success in the US. Can’t wait another minute was there biggest state side followed by Let Me Be The One - a number 2 RnB single

[@trevorjames426]

Love them! “Find the Time” is my favourite 😍

[@kd2009]

Yes yes, I had their cassette tape, I used to listen to them falling asleep!!!! I forgot about them!

[@JennyAmponsah]

I’m so glad you reacted to this group, they are incredible! I grew up with their music, they were huge here in the UK. They’re a British band.

[@michellemcgregor358]

Omg thank you for reacting I haven't heard this in 20 + years brings back so many memories esp school disco days, bless you both💖💖

[@gerikara]

I still love them. Whenever you are ready is also my favorite. in the term of dancing, they are also great. one of the members, Doris, does the choreography. It is very sophisticated and the synchronized dancing of the five of them is one of their specialties!

[@70830899]

I’m glad you both had headphones on for this, cos the production is top notch!

[@benjaminjohnson8010]

Don't quote me but I believe that they are from England.

[@MightMouse2174]

They are ... basically people were calling them the British Jackson 5

[@columkinlan866]

Yep born and raised in London . Mum was Indian and dad was Jamaican from memory . The girls were and still are beautiful

[@theoldempressrv6193]

Yo yo yo yo!!!!!. Five star are the boom. Grew up to them here in the UK....so glad you checked it out...80s for real

[@tonyd5650]

Love Five Star, I've actually met them after a performance, the lead singer Denise really does sound as good live. Fantastic voice

[@horianawhata3662]

Thank you for this....defintely grew up with this song in the 80s....memoriieeessss.....love light and blessings...xxx

[@systemaddict4032]

Five star are still one of my favourite groups, I was obsessed with them growing up in the 80s !

[@darrellmann7468]

Remember when it came out I bought their album silk and Steel on vinyl and still have it to this day lovely song

[@tylerhackner9731]

Yess

[@MARKB3946]

This was a nice song. I'm not familiar with the band name either but I liked it.

[@garymcatear822]

All the band members are brothers and sisters from the UK.

[@nickhaswell6011]

Whenever your ready The slightest touch Find the time Rock my world Another weekend

[@boogiebrewster8990]

Some1 Said 1 Of My Absolute FAVE Groups, 5STAR, Last Recorded In The Mid 90s...NOPE! Their Last CD Was "ECLIPSE" 2001, Thank U. P.S., 5STAR Charted "4" TOP 10s "2" TOP 20s, & "2" TOP 40s USA R&B Hits From '85-88', Y'all.

[@DanBmthUK]

The lead singer Denise Williams - think that’s her name has an amazing voice

[@alyarout]

reached number 2 in the uk charts. kept from being at number 1 by true blue by madonna and don't leave me this way by the communards (a cover of thelma houston's 70's song). i suggest you react to true blue by madonna. i love this song so so much.

[@tonygifford450]

Five star were the nuts. They should have been up there with the super stars of music.

[@scabbedwings6548]

To me, I felt like Five Star were a huge group when I was a kid back in the 80s. For me, they had hit after hit after hit. I see that someone said that the song was not released in the US, but I heard it when I was a kid. Not sure how if that was the case, but I did. Maybe some video music program aired the music video and that's how I heard it. But, they were part of the second/R&B/Pop British Invasion in the US which included groups/artist like them as well as Sade, Loose Ends, Musical Youth, Billy Ocean, Junior and others. It will definitely be worth it to listen to their other songs that have been listed in other comments. There is a song that they recorded called "Hide and Seek" which is a favorite of mine that New Edition also released the same year as Five Star's version. Both versions of the song are good. You all should take a listen to both versions of the song.

[@CandleLight1974]

Great reaction to a lovely song by a group who were huge but could have been massive. Please also check 'Stay Out of My Life' amongst others of their many great offerings.

[@MrKeyesGr]

Let me be the one was the jam from them!! Their earlier stuff was produced by loose ends producer. Became more poppier later on. They moved to the US and had a more New Jack and R&B sound which faired better out there as their success went downhill in the UK.

[@what-uc]

I liked this in the 80s, and now from a distance I can hear this is like Shalamar mixed with Nik Kershaw

[@PainInTheS]

Got like 5 albums of them...after 2 albums they kind of faded here, but the rest is actually fun too.......growing up in the 80's was fun!

[@michaelangelo2676]

Love 5 Star❤❤❤❤

[@justinlubis2035]

Please don't say goodnight... Five Star famous song.

[@Sailor-Alpha]

please do a reaction to five star love take over and system addict

[@martindavis4632]

They are brothers and sisters from the same family

[@TheRetroManRandySavage]

The slightest touch was a good song from five star. It's the only song from them that I'm familiar with.

[@richardhargrave6082]

They were kind of a guilty pleasure, I liked them at the time, don't know why Still like the song
