  • Excellent song by an excellent group. However, looking at Denise a couple of years after the success of Luxury of Life, Silk & Steel, and Between the Lines, I do wonder what kinda trip she was on and what sort of transition she was going through, smh

  • African- Americans comes in all kinds of shades and colours; It depends on what part of the African tribes they came from, Some dark skinned, some tall ,short, curly hair, some even very sraight hair, (like some of my friends from Samalia, no chemicals) dark eyes and even blue eyes. A wide variety of Africans which makes African Americans look different from each other.

  • I don't know what happened here!!! You can youtube the mess out of 5 star and see unbelieveable precise on point  dancing and great crisp Denise vocals.You can always see mj's influence but never deny their talent ,live or video.As for Denise...I never understood the heavy makeup through the years.When she had very little,she was sooo beautiful.always waundered if she had her own issue with her face.

  • They're British pop/r&b group started out in "83"

  • they always remnded me of michael / latoya/ janet jackson clones. but with not so good voices. and the ladies always sounded like young boys singing. lol are they mixed raced? i've always wondered because of their unsual look and features.

  • now I see Latoya!

  • i am sure latoya pinched some of doris's dance moves for your gonna get rocked!

  • Was this their version of Michael Jackson's "Bad" era?

  • Comment removed

  • Can anyone put the Five Star single Physical Attraction from the rock the world album? Much appreciated.

  • Anybody know where they are today? Are they still making music?

  • @vanitysadeparis yes they are, not together though, Doris Denise and Stedman have myspace pages and Stedman and Doris have facebook pages, Delroy and Doris have twitter pages too

  • @spjdplsjpdlmpdmp Neat! Thanks for replying! :)

  • Ppl stop arguing ya'll know these are Joe Jackson other secret kids. JK

    You have to be blind or deaf to not see how much alike they are compared to the Jackson or Janet. ( Both are super great groups.) Why the fuss? Wow, that blond wig thing was scary!

  • I like this song. It should have been a big hit but I rem people being put off by the image. Delroy is sexy in this. Off to buy on Itunes.

  • I know some British acts sing in American accents because it's kind of the "lingua franca" of pop vocals (although you never hear an American act singing in a British accent - how weird would that be?), but if I'm not mistaken, the spoken intro is with an American accent too! That IS weird! Like Joss Stone at the Brit Awards! Ew.

  • awesome vid. the extra terrestrial mix of this is terrific.

  • Wij houden van Five star

  • like the b-side of this single "Sweetest Innocence" brings back special memories for me.any chance of it being posted?

  • @jonaky72 why don't you post it?

  • Huge MJ & Janet influence on their look back then. The Jets were cool too.

  • @capdeelite61 I agree. Michael Jackson was a huge influence on their sound too. I could hear Michael singing this song.

  • I don't get it but that, girl is hot as fuck.

  • this song reminds me of micheal jackson thriller

  • Yeah that "blonde look" was a BIG mistake. Blech.

  • These chicks were competing with guys who looked like Barbie, give them a break.

  • this is the barbie doll phase!!!

  • @destinyt97 Yes it truly was the REAL Barbie phase. Lol

  • i would'nt say held her back i think people were telling her she don't need the rest of them and they are holding her back she obviously didnt think so !!!!

  • Comment removed

  • denise tried a solo career twice and it didnt work out either time, you can't have been much of a fan of Five Star (if you were even a fan) if you feel so strongly that the rest of then held her back, not sure where you are getting your info from but it seems misguided

  • Five Star, were the best group ever back in the 80's, but Denise,, WTF, is going on with that hair colour....hahahahah top tune though.

  • A Very Underated group, should be given more credit, and was doing what the Jacksons should have been doing in 88.

    Thanks for posting

  • The sisters were very pretty, Doris i think is the most pretty. I have absolutley NO IDEA what the stylist was on or thinking, i can only assume imparired cognitive thinking as a possible answer, but hey its a good song and this was the 80's.

  • This is hot!!!

  • so Jackson like and they denied being influenced? Omg

  • they never denied being influenced by them

  • how recent or old is this video??

  • its from 1988

  • I love the song but...WHAT was their stylist thinking?!

  • lmao it looks good but its a little extreme so 80s lmao!!!

  • why does the lead singer look like letoya jackson?

  • @zava34 Thats the same thing I was thinking, she does look like Letoya Jackson!!Great song!!

  • @honeychick4ever yes lol.

  • @honeychick4ever i woz thinkin the same thing

  • They werer really popular in the mid 80's in the states. I listened to them until the early 90's. I have always liked their music and style. I know that Denise lived in the states some years back. Does anyonehave an idea as to what the Pearson's are doing these days?

  • All the sisters pearson were hot, all of them, I would have loved to have one of them in my house and watch her all day. U can't even cheat on women like that so much all is there, looks, talent, personality.Lorraine, Denise, Dorris could give any super hot sister a run for her crown. But denise, hum that face and long jet black curly hair. I am a sucker for half indian/half black sisters. Y'all define sexy!! lol

  • she has a new single on ITUNESi just downloaded.she still sounds amazing

  • I used to like a lot the music, the dance, the vocal harmonies and

    here that Brigitte Bardot look but maybe even more the grunting and moaning or onomatopeias like "ho,ha,huh" during the songs. Deniece was very gifted for that. Pretty sexy,I'd say!

  • nice song

  • They had MJ as their biggest inspiration... this is after he released BAD they have the same moves, the same type of outfits...

    I love them all...

  • I guess so, they could even pass for michael brothers and sisters from another mother!! lol

  • never saw this one before! Wow!

  • Five Star had it all, looks, voices, style and great moves, they made my teenage years amazing with the great music!! I am so happy I was in europe back then, I am sure I would have heard from them have I stayed in the states!! lol

  • great moves are you blind??

    the music was good, but the moves are shit

  • Maybe this videos, But in general their moves was tight. U need to recognize talent when it is due. I am sure your ass could move as good even if you rehearse for hours. stop hating on ppl.

  • Did not know they were Jamaicans from their parents !! half-black half-indians from their mom. very hot the pearson sisters!!

  • Hmmmm I wasnt aware thet their mother was part koolie. That is news. Where did you learn that?

  • A documentary on their life a long time ago. Both parent are from Jamaica, but the kids were born in England. The mother is a Koolie and the father a past dark black man. Not cute at all the dad, I was surprise that he had such attractive daughters, ugliness must have skip a generation, but then the idian genes must have worked wonders there!! lol!! Maybe somebody posted this documentary on their lives

  • LMAO!!! You are hilarious! Yes, they must thank Mommy for that one!

  • even though i knew about five Star in the US, I happy that I get to see how big they really were in the UK. I think I seen mabey two of there videos back then, but now through the majic of youtube i really become a fan of Denise. In this song she's singing in a lower octive and still jamming. If I had just heard the audio i couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl. The more i watch their videos the more i see there influence on janet J. janet just took it too another level.

  • you've got to know how to dance

    before you step to my floor

    baby, that's the bottom line.

  • Ooh yeah, that was jam back in 89!!

  • what about timerlake he is jackson in moves and voices, and spears: anyone trying to distroy their career coz of it.

    Is because five star did not toe the line, they said we do this our way, with our recordin company, they liked soul, jazz pop and they did it

  • show those fake stars, ( waste of space talents... )Some mumman said they were good, and they belived it. you are a true gift....

  • Come on denise you are uk best Talent ( even as mature a woman )all round performer, and bring in the other four. Miss you and your amazing sexy and expressive style and brillaint god like performance it is amazing . I was amazed the first time I saw you, Posters went up all over my home,

  • denise was just dying her hair/weaves blonde. lorraine was all round hotter. lorraine should have had more projects thrown at her that wanted to showcase her beauty.

  • and another thing, when madonna looked like maryilyn manroe: no one said anything only admire. When every young pop group sound like the beatles not a word. Five star love jackson , they all moan, Remind you of what is happening to alex burke why!!!!

  • I think 2nd point, denise should have and should be in films something glam like dallas or dynasty. She rocked mate, she should us all how to be strong and not care about low doen crap to be up!!!!!

  • One more thing: I think five star became at the height of their power. Media power changes people. Denise went into a very high state of performance, I have nevere seen this is anyone. She is so sexy and powerful, In the uk they wan't everthing down to earth. There determination to be sexy beautiful styish and happyfucking worked well and kept out the negative vibes from people

  • love to see five star back together. also in uk Black became very neglected last 14 years. They had to go to usa to survive and the sould scene and music scene is bigger and five refused to do shit music, they did about one or two tracks that I did not like.

    Denise is a brilliant writer best pop for me

  • when I heard this on here, I loved it been playing every on lould speakers. If I had kids would love them to be like five star. Think they look brillaint as always. Denise to me is a tina turner and that sort now, and I hope we see her in stadiums where she belongs.

  • really love there look and sound. Never known a group like them, the masters of image and sound. Love them so much always did. I think they wanted to be as big as micheal but tried to step int his shoes. Five are very taleneted wanted the best coz they could

  • when I hear I wonna boogie, all night. So sexy and brillaint. HOW COULD WE HAVE LET THEM GO

  • I like pop always have and other music, I have never seen a greater performer and singer than denise for pop.

  • Dam right don't get Mad get even and I mean even!!!!!

  • dont get mad........get even!!!

  • Ew!! What the hell is that on her head??? What the hell happen?? She looked a HOT MESS!!!

  • I think she looks beautiful <333 Nobody can insult my gorgeous Denise. I think she's rocking the PVC.

  • this is the reason why they probably were never accepted in america, there are too many similarities between janet jackson and the lead singer, not just looks wise, but musically as well, to the point its a bad imitation, in this vid, she looks like a female imersonater tryin to look like janet jackson..

  • Each one of them looks like a clone of the Jacksons. Janet, Rebbie, Latoya, Michael, and Tito.

  • every decade has its imitators

  • My fav group ever, they had to go to usa as uk had limted attention to black music. We missed an amazing group in the interim. I missed them badlly. They are style glamour, love., fashion amazing music, we were lucky to have them in the uk

  • i dont think she looks anything like janet, i thought Doris did though

  • are u blind?

  • I concur. Denise stands out because of the blonde hair.

  • @CriscoDisco79 Denise looks nothing and sounds nothing like Janet. Lets not go there about Janet's singing skills and nose job. Denise is a real singer and has not had surgery to change her looks! In fact none of the Pearsons and so if you are seeing a resemblance between the two groups it is the Jacksons who look like the Pearsons.

  • @Picture111 well then your fucking deaf and blind, shes a cheap ripp-off of janet jackson

  • @discovery781 Janet who can't sing and had a nose job at 16? No one is trying to sound like Janet's planet of the ape looking ass or sound like her half a note voice! Please spare me! LOL!

  • Comment removed

  • @discovery781 Its not Denise that looks like Janet its Dorris...

  • this song relies so heavily on michael jackson's look and sound. I mean 1988 michael was the biggest human on the planet

  • To many Janet jackson moves and Michael's looks through out his time with each singer lol lol

  • they were very noted for saying that they were inspired by the jacksons and michael in particular..to the point of mere imitation it seems.

  • Fantastic love it !oh the summer of 88

  • free time, physical attraction and recue me should have been released. godsend was another off the album.....

  • This was the song and video that was the talk of the school back again then too...WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM, THEY ARE ON SOME WHITE $HIT LOL

  • I love this cd "Rock My World" is a great song also love "Someone's In Love" "There's a Brand New World" & "Let Me Be Yours",, a great cd A+A+A+.

  • Dear, dear, dear.  I've never seen the vid b4 but I liked the song when it was around in July/Aug '88 - actually thought it was a stronger record than their lead track, 'Another Weekend'. Denise looks like a cross between a morphed Janet Jackson & Dolly Parton! What's with all the plant machinery - is it cos it digs and shifts rocks, hence the title of the song? The last 5Star hit...clearly losing the plot and appearing as though they were being 'advised' to take themselves seriously! Pity.

  • check the roots out!

  • are they british or americans?

  • they r british....although i think they are all living in america now!

  • british

  • I like the song but I do not like the video. The outfit that they are wearing is ridiculous. They look like "metal rock" stars and it does not fit their sound. "There's A Brand New World", the song is even more appalling.

  • not a fab tune...and yup not sure about the siouxsie and the banshees look crossed with the jacksons and dolly parton locks nay workin fo me....

  • I was thinking the same thing (Dolly Parton), but I really didn't want to go there.

  • i always thougth of them as the UKs jacksons

  • I'm not feelin Denise's blonde locks in this video. And this is what I hate about record companies. They're always telling these artists to make changes to their images. Be it styling,hair, dances. And honestly it can suck sometimes. There was nothing wrong with Denise's choreography. You can clearly see Janet Jackson's imprint in this video. Not to say she had anything to do with this.

  • absutely they changed basically and thats where it went all wrong denise should have got out and she would have been star easily the most talented of the 5. hard decesions have to made look at michael at the height the J5 fame he pulled out and we had off wall rest is history.

  • WTF??

  • Whattttttt?????? they changed

  • I thought I was a fan (?), from back in the day, BUT I don't remember this song, that look (blond hair) or this video..."Hmmm!" is all I can say...

  • Denise & Stedman Pearson will be performing all the Five Star Hits in the UK at Butlins Centre Stage Arenas on the following dates;

  • Still love this song after all this time. Those sisters were hot,jeez they truly looked like they could easily blend with the jacksons. Great group, great song.

  • This is blatantly one of their least pop-friendly songs, but their costumes and Deniece's voice actually came more into being from this point on. I guess it was hard for an established pop group to metamorphose into something else at the time. Good stuff though, thanks for the video.

  • Sexy leather catsuit.

  • This new rock image was the downfall of 5*.

  • yeah :(

  • Its a shame as i remember it all going down hill with them after this song, They tried to heavy themselves up and it went very wrong!

  • they did try and immitate the jacksons i remember them saying it at the time

  • I dont remember them ever saying they were trying to immitate the the jacksons but I do remember them saying that michael jackson inspired them. Where did you hear that dee?

  • Sorry i didn't mean them personally i meant the press. They said they were the 80's type Jacksons

  • thats ok i wasnt trying to get at you , i just woudve been shocked if they said it themselves!

  • I was a member of their fanclub for 3 years lol. I remember it being quite a bit of money for a scarf a badge and a newsletter. Waste of money!

    They ended up over speanding their fortune as i remember and had to sell their house and cars! they bought bloody lambouginis before they could drive!!! Total idiots!

  • when your that young you just go mad with all that money especially buying cars!I think they have learnt to spend their money more wisely as they got older.

    I used to be in the fan club too butI didnt think anything to do with them was a waste of money as I adored them and still do.

  • I too adored them, They were great in thier day. perhaps i was just tight lol!

  • I only about 12 or 13 when I started liking them so I only had a paper round and that didnt pay much, dont know how I managed to buy all their books records etc, think I might have sweet talked my dad, he was a soft touch!

  • Is that Rupaul? These are some scary looking children. I see Rebbie, Janet and Latoya and Michael. This is too damn scary for me. How many dam videos do they have? Too much makeup too. These are the Jacksons in costumes right?

  • what the hell is wrong with you, if you don't like them then stop looking for their videos instead of clicking on them and then typing that scary kids crap.......how stupid are you? If you see the Jacksons then maybe you should get your eyes tested

  • You're right Rupaul, Rebbie, Janet, Latoya and Michael are scary looking. The Pearson are beautiful in comparison.

  • I was a big fan of 5* too... but honestly she was looking like Latoya Jackson in this vid. I liked the style/look they had when they first came out and then I must've grew up...don't even remember this video:]

  • Ohhh thats where Pamela Anderson copied her look from lol

  • love this group

  • No cheek implants are in her face. The makeup they put on her face shows how high her cheek bones are. It's inherited (cherokee blood) in her genes thats all.

  • There's no Cherokee in them. Their mother is a Jamaican-born Indian (from India, not America).

  • High cheek bones is native blood. I know my people. Now shut up and dance!!! AHAHA!! ;)

  • The mother is Indian (asian) born in Jamaica, not Native American. I assume you were joking when you told me to shut up.

  • Yeah i was joking. I don't want you to think i was dissing you. I am sorry if i offended you. You did your homework. I knew they had indian but i didn't know the tribe. Thanks for sharing that info.

  • Who cares about their hertiage I like the song regardless

  • Sup BT how you been man?

  • uh hum Cherokee is a tesco clothes brand!!!=]

  • :) Hehe

  • Uh oh killah!! LOL She done went latoya in this video! :)~

  • Its interesting watching this video now, they released a duff third album, 3 flop singles, then what did they do, go for an even harder image to alienate their already dwindling fanbase, and on top of that forget any pure pop stuff that made them popular in the first place, its no wonder they swiftly went down the dumper, they really through their own fault cut their own pop life short by a good two years, oh, and why was Denise white in this video?

  • they dont look like trannys, they all have beautiful features which are enhanched by make up. Some people already have high cheekbones and a cute nose without having extra make up or surgery you know

  • It's called having native american blood! Almost 90 percent of african americans here in america have cherokee, or some other tribe of indians in them including me because my grandparents are half native american on both sides of the family.

  • what happened to her face? omg did they get cheek implants. they all look like trannys. sorry, still liked their music though.

  • Five Star's presentation was obviously greatly inspired by Michael Jackson. Denise had vocals. That said, the more enlightened way to assess these things is to consider the producer(s) behind the sound. Regarding this track, my hat went off to the prodigious Leon Sylvers III. I liked also the earlier material Carl McIntosh/Loose Ends produced...

  • i adore the video so mush ,i wish they do come back to make some more of the that kind music with lyrics that is not tooadultly for all ages can listen to.

  • We wan't to find the track 'hard race' any ideas?

  • love that song, its on Between The Lines, you'll probably find it on ebay for a resonable price

  • i love five star, this song is a total tribute to MJ..by the way did anyone notice Britney was Rocking Denise's leather Jumpsuite a few yrs ago on the Onyx Hotel Tour..lol

  • I love 5 star....but damn....all they need is to start molesting young boys and they can move right into Neverland Ranch!

  • Ha ha ha! That's funny ;)

  • was this quarry in a dr who with giant worms?

    "performance" is brilliant music video collection and i'd like to see videos from "heart and soul" and "eclipse".i hope there's another group cd or a denise solo cd.

  • To All True Five Star Fans - Please, when someone makes a derogatory comment about Five Star, don't stoop to their level by getting into a "tit for tat" cursing contest. It's bad enough that these people make such rogue statements and then to have a true Five Star fan respond negatively, too. Five Star would not be pleased with derogatory responses from their true fans. Whenever someone makes a derogatory statement, that person should be blocked immediately. Thank you.

  • Personally I think Five Star would find my responses funny. I don't usually get into it with these idiots, but I felt like having a day off and I really, really enjoyed it. Ha ha!

  • hi!i am five star biggest fan,and it has make me see that some people don't have a since of class about good talent,and it shows that they don't have nothing to talk about that is intersten too say about anyone.

  • I know how you feel I have been a fan since 84 or so. They are so down to earth Well I only got to talk with Denise and Stedan

  • ADORE THIS GROUP!

  • It seem like Latoya Jackson was moonlighting on the family...Nawl, but U really could tell that they were very influence by the jackson family.

  • WTF is that thing singing with the blond hair. RUPAUL?

  • FUCK OFF nobody asked you to watch it

  • Ha ha @ spjdplsjpdlmpdmp. Don't these cunts get on your nerves sometimes?

  • I know, you'd think they were being forced to type Five Star into the search box or something

  • You must be a part of the group, camel cunt! make yourself useful and draw some eyebrows on that bitch

    Good day 8)

  • it took you four days to come up with a line thats been used before, how bright are you or are you the same freak as dongal1, guywithoutties and deedeelondon, certainly sounds like it cos you all make eerily similar comment which are equally as thick

  • I see that you are a dumb bitch with no life, yeah it took me a few days because I have a life I am not living in front of a computer like your pathetic ass. I didnt read everyone comments due to me having a life but I see that you have. Put the key board down and go get yourself a man and a life and stop eating the shit out of my ass!

  • you life is obviously not that great if you need to keep coming here watching videos you don't like and talking complete and utter shite so if you do have a life then prove it by pissing off.......like i told you before nobody made you look for Five Star videos so why did you bother loser

  • Yasslane you are one stupid too-much time having section 8 heffa. Your mother should have swallowed.

  • Yeah I guess my mom should have swallowed so why dont your dog dick suckin, boody hole sniffin, std infested mom give her a lesson. I mean I think your mom would be happy to get her ass off that corner and not have to fuc* for a buck like she does everyday. Breath smelling like a bag of boody holes LoL. I dont care who you are that funny right there!

  • Yo mamma jokes, how 1990s. Your 'Daddy' needs to stop molesting you whilst you're at the keyboard, it's interfering with your grammar - you stupid spawn of a trick ass bitch. Go home and rest after a hard day escorting your Grandmother on the ho stroll! Thanks for upping my playcount ;)
