Five: Live
FIVE, which stands for Federation of Interactive Visual Exploits, make  the leap into the fray of boy bands on DVD with their discFive Live.  Included here are 15 live performances from their Invincible Tour in Manchester,  England. The tour was a promotion for their second album,Invincible, as well as5ive, and performances by "the  lads," Sean, Scott, Ritchie, J, and Abs, include songs from both albums. Playing  time is 80 minutes.While they do follow the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync formula, Five have their  own flair. J reminds of Vanilla Ice as he adds rap and hip-hop to Five's  otherwise pop sound. Also, Five have cleverly included samples from Joan Jett's  "I Love Rock & Roll" in their hit "Everybody Get Up," and they do a great update  of Queen's "We Will Rock You." A promo video of the latter tune is also  included.DVD features include a 25-minute TV documentary featuring various aspects of  preparation for the Invincible Tour. Activities from the five weeks prior to  departure can be selected individually. Also included is a backstage tour  (marginally interesting), and there is a photo section with several group shots.  You may also choose to have the lyrics on-screen. The best DVD feature is Five-Cam: Two of the songs from the concert were recorded using one camera for each  lad, so if you have a favorite, you can watch him even when he isn't singing the  lead.--Larry Clark
