Five Star performs 'Shine'

[TronandFlynn82]

Soooooooo freakin awesome! Wish the quality was better though. =/

[brownhulk2000]

That was a high energy performance...I dont remember this group making it into the 90's though just the mid 80's.

[adamjohnson77]

Fantastic, every time I watch it brings a smile to my face :0)

[soulfyrestar]

@BLAKPEARL69 and speaking of them performing All Fall Down on Soul Train, I just uploaded it yesterday.

[sta7o]

They are brilliant. Their my favorite group in the world.

[naturalblkluv]

wow they are midgets.

[Murphytech]

watching five star sometimes make you want to dance.

[FiveStarLuxury]

I LOVE Five Star! Still holds that little bit of magic for me. Dreams of a birthday, and a trip to the theme park with real good friends on a Saturday. ^_^

[ddav2005]

This sounds like LA Reid and Baby Face did the music, they were in the group called the Deele, they produced for Karyn White too, that's who this osunds like.

[realdeal1ization]

@ddav2005 They were trying to get a bigger American fan base, I've always been a fan, they were and still are great, you should hear Denise sing WonderWoman live. LA and Baby Face are two of the biggest producers in the world. They worked with a lot of people and still do. I wish 5 Star would come back. Maybe somebody will bring back some real talent,

[mooreae]

I didn't know they were still making music in the 90"s!!! She is singing this damn song!

[bootsamou]

God ~ this was TWENTY years ago !!

Delroy is 41 now.

Brilliant !

[barney1963]

Awesome song and performance

[1012CRAIG]

she sings the hell out of this song!

[north5880]

It's very new jack swing ish for that song. And the females have Janet Jackson-ish hairdos, gives them a sexy look. Their dancing and choreography is very good on there! This 1991 song is just as good as their 1985 and 1986 songs, which I love the most. And I like that they produced that '91 album! I thought that they had Teddy Riley or Babyface or Jam and Lewis on it, since the song reminds me of those producers' sounds!

[opelsunshine]

Five Star danced their asses off on this song I like the song to they were

really talented I hope they will come back they all look just alike.

[marcbbaby]

Wow... what an awesome performance. Doris nailed the choreography and they danced their butts off and Lorraine's vocals are amazing.... this song shoes that she can really sing. Thanks for posting.

[sldorhout]

@marcbbaby it's deniece doing the vocals...Lorraine is the one in the red jacket...but that was smashing!

[marcbbaby]

Wow.... I missed this one! What a hot performance... they dance their butts off.

[tprince73]

I'm so happy I've stumbled across this. A performance I've never seen of them before, Love, love, loved it, their dancing was awesome but that guy interviewing them certainly didn't bring out the best in them did he . . . . he was soooo boring, surprised they didn't fall asleep up there - lol. What was the other song they did?

[Cafetino]

I remember this song but I think I was in Germany at the time. I had no idea they had dance skills like that! They really worked that out!

[ckmt7]

I've been looking for the album Shine on CD. Only have it on cassette. Man, those girls were beautiful!!

[blackpanther33]

Very talented Group. They had major success in the UK, and no one can take that away from them. Moving to the US was the right move for them at the time to grow and to develop their music style. They should have broken America, but it was not their time. Five Star will always be up there with the best period.

[north5880]

@blackpanther33 Their success was mostly in London and around the world, but I heard a lot of their songs here in 1985, 1986 and 1987. I think their moving to L.A. in the early '90s was a way to mature their sound, get them off the teenish sounds of their '80s hits. I think that they weren't looking for bigger sales, but to get better at their music and their craft.

[xwingclass]

they tried to break the US market thats where they went wrong. they were to early to go there.

[Simon5005]

Gawd, I miss Five Star..........what amazing talents!

[80salicious]

They killed it. Should've been MUCH bigger

[sjlp1]

Wow it's always so good to see pure talent and what a positive energy, man! I remember having those Fivestar tunes in my head during the eighties because I was a huge fan. Again that was some good energy and for that THANK YOU FIVE

STAR!!

[24Adrian24]

Damn...I used to like this group and I even slept on them a bit....

[alvindalvin]

You can tell that this is a U.S. influenced track. More of the R&B swing, that you heard with Teddy Riley, Kieth sweat, Baby Face production sound records.

[north5880]

@alvindalvin It's a little bit of Teddy Riley and L.A. and Babyface's sound and a tad of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from Janet Jackson's Control/Rhythm Nation era albums.  But they sounded good. Even though their later albums never matched their '80s peak, I commend Five Star for experimenting with this new jack swing sound that everybody was trying to do in '90 and '91. They sounded and were singing better too!

[alvindalvin]

They should have been bigger in the U.S. but when you have groups like New Edition, Janet Jackson, bobby brown, SWV, TLC, Envogue, BBD, Ice Cube, NWA, well Hip hop in general, ruling Record sells in the States, I guess it wasn't much room for even an excellent group like this during that time.

[north5880]

@alvindalvin There was a lot of heavy competion in that early '90s period. I really believe that their album was overlooked against people like EnVogue and Bell Biv Devoe and the R&B and rap artists dominating the US charts.

[natureboyinyourface]

i'm blown away.

[meldemarco1070]

five star rule

[dshine]

it gets no better than that folks.

[Storm3179]

I forgot about them producing and writing their own songs, that is what made them a hit, which says a lot for their talent.

[retrorhythms]

Delroy was exaggerating a bit on that part. The album was produced by Ian Prince (including this song), Zac Harmon & Christopher Troy, and Peter Bunetta & Rick Chudacoff. However, group members did write some of the songs on the album.

[Leron5]

When they were on Soul Train performing this there were only a few tracks from the Shine album completed, so Del was referring to the Five Star album.

[north5880]

@retrorhythms I heard Ian Prince, Zac Harmon and Christopher Troy's songs for artists a lot in 1990 and 1991. They were that good with their slick sounding early '90s R&B and pop songs that they created. Delroy might have mentioned the songs the group produced before the Prince, Harmon and Troy produced songs later made the album. And Peter Bunetta is still around today producing songs--still at it after over 20 years! He even did songs for Hilary Duff's albums.

[Secretaryboy]

I wish their was a group like thenm now I really miss this style of 80s Soul/Disco, all we have now is R&b

[cr8xlns]

i have them on video , on soul train uk when they sang let me be the one

[xesenta]

good fucking GENES! xxx

[Pajamatop10]

this sounds like a hot song. I like the lighter hair color on the girls though.

[sheba1959]

Who is their choreographer?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WO­W

[spjdplsjpdlmpdmp]

Doris......the one in the green jacket

[rednop44]

I didn't think is was possible to dance to this song and they just did it.

Wow!

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

I wonder i theyever met Michael Jackson,and i wonder what he thought of them?

[spjdplsjpdlmpdmp]

Doris met him years ago and he liked her, thought she was pretty

[superpop101]

Wow, I love the way they move. Incredible. This vocal is Fantastic, it really showcases her voice. It's not just a catchy poppy vocal. She has a wonderful voice. She should have had an amazing career after this as a solo artist. She has real vocal talent.

[KOSTORM23]

this song is a rare one in the USA but I thought this song was great! It's so underated!

[BLAKPEARL69]

i wish there were footage of them when they sang all fall down on soul train. that would be awesome.

[HappyNubian]

just a wondering people are they from UK or Germany i'm getting conflicting messages .

[charrmedfan101]

uk, who said they come from germany?

[gillianclayton]

Shine, genauso wie die Sterne so hell, Licht mein Leben, wenn Sie glänzen ... LOL!

[charrmedfan101]

stop showing off missus!!!

[KOSTORM23]

[boneym22]

i love 5 star and a major fan allways have been shame there move to the usa did f all, shine and the albim shine(1991) are amazing the group looked amazing

[gsnman]

Doris reminds me of Janet Jackson...they're both really sexy women!

[Azone01]

All the person sisters are very sexy women (and they still are). Deniece (or Loraine, I forgot) use to date Eddie Murphy, before the comedian made Mel B pregnant!

[britishgirl29]

when did you hear this I am really curious?

[Azone01]

Either Wikipedia (that info is no longer there) or some Fivestar biography site. One of those girls use to date Eddie Murphy though.

[pebblesto]

It was Lorriane

[charrmedfan101]

It was lorraine who was engaged to eddie for a short time in 1988.

[jonkofied]

thnx for this, i love 5 star forever

[meldemarco1070]

bad management

[SapphireNoor]

This proves it that five Star and there's not equivilant. Nobody dancers like nor harmonises like Five Star! I remember the 80's when we were all dancers, singers and the like and nothing else mattered. Go! go! go! go! go! go! go! Five Star

[boneym22]

del persion would get a wee shot in my back room what a ride

[BAYCITYROLLERBOY]

I AGREE TOTALLY!They should have had Michael Jackson record sales.Equivalent.

[BLAKPEARL69]

Denise a little bit like Karen White.

They can really dance and sing very rare of many groups today.

Love them now and forever.

[zava34]

she does! That's that ol school kayrn white sound

[Ivypasic]

Check the jump at 1:45! Incredible. Thanks, Gillian, for all your amazing videos. Love this.

[PepperLabeija]

That was amazing. I've never seen any act dance as precise as Five Star. They are the ULTIMATE!!!!!!

[Dowana]

Performance 9,5/10

[macawreufsal]

1991. April, apparently.

[sistagirl]

I have never even heard this song before. I feel cheated. I like it though.  What year was it?

[gillianclayton]

1991

[macawreufsal]

Just LOOK at the move they do at the start of the second verse...look at the way Stedman thrusts out his groin...mmmmmmmm :)

[dshine]

INCREDIBLE!!!

[dahlio]

They are awesome. They have great great great stage presence. I miss them a lot.

[normski1969]

i wish that performance was now in 2006!!!

[josat]

THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS GILLIAN

[macawreufsal]

I like turning the volume off and just watching Stedman, biting my bottom lip and tyring to keep my beating heart still...;)

[macawreufsal]

For the "Shine" video, gillian wrote the comment that they looked like thay'd all had a good shag... Good God, I'd shag any of them after that!! lol
