I'm 30 and I Really Dig This CD, They Are Awesome!, July 25, 2005
Teen group B5 has released their debut self-titled album. The album is very good! The teens are the youngest artists signed to P. Diddy's Bad Boy Entertainment. The group has yet to have a smash single on the Billboard Top 100 Singles Chart but that doesn't mean ANYTHING to the groups thousands and thousands of loyal fans who faint, scream, cry or collapse simply at catching a glimpse of the quintet who are currently touring with the Scream IV tour along with Bow Wow, Pretty Ricky, Omarion, and Bobby Valentino. Their videos are in heavy rotation on BET and these young guys are really going somewhere.
The debut album is really good--for a teen act. Whereas some titles might indicate bubblegum pop ("Heartbreak," "Teacher's Pet"), the album is solid with impressive vocals and productions. The album opens up with the a cappella "Let It Be." Yes, this is the same song that The Beatles performed but it sounds nothing like the original song. It sounds so different in fact that I didn't recognize that it was the same song until I looked at the liner notes. This song is followed up by the second single "U Got Me." this is a really great song and the energy of the song reminds me of 112 back in the day. 112 used to have fun with their music and this is a really feel good song. This song is followed by the equally high energy song "Dance For You." Although the track on "U Got Me," is so hot, I would have chose "Dance For You," as a single sooner. "So Pretty" is another banger. This song was produced by Rodney Jerkins. The song "All I Do," is the song that broke B5 into the game. Even songs the songs with young themes like "Teacher's Pet" are great songs. Overall, the album is a very solid debut from the 5 brothers known as B5.
B5 is a good group and the album is great. I have a hunch that they may have worked with some of the same vocal coaches or vocal arrangement people who worked with former Bad Boy, Def Soul group 112 because they really have a 112 vibe to them.

A Kid's Review
when i first listened to this album i was so hype and i'm glad i was because that album is everything i expected and more.
each member of b5 gives and delivers their own special talent which makes me happy to say that their hot and i know they'll be around for a long, long time!!!~~~~ so basically in my opinion i think whoever doesn't have the album should get it now before it's all sold out!!!***
