5.0 out of 5 stars Kids' music that parents love too!, September 7, 2004

If you feel like your kids should listen to music because it's an important part of their development, your right! Thankfully, Hi-5 is singable, danceable music, that you can really bond with your kids over.

This CD is aptly named "Jump and Jive with Hi-5" because you'll be up on your feet! For older kids (6-8), it's a wonderful alternative to some of the tween music out there that seems to be targeting younger and younger audiences. For younger kids, not only is it great music, there's a real educational component as well -- you'll find your kids learning about the five senses, colors, musical rhythms, word games, animals -- the list goes on and on.

The five members of Hi-5, Curtis Cregan, Jennifer Peterson-Hind, Karla Cheatham-Mosley, Kimee Balmilero and Shaun Taylor-Corbett, all have impressive conservatory and theater credentials. More importantly to your children, their energy and love for this group really shines through on every song. Parents will love that these young adults are great role models. They have worked hard at their craft, and obviously enjoy their audiences. Their clothing styles are fun and modern, yet modest, rather than the belly baring, skin piercing that is so popular these days.

Despite the activity this music inspires, you will want an extra copy for your car. Your kids won't be asking "are we there yet?" when you put this on -- they'll be having too much fun! Better yet, you will too!

Singable, danceable music -- who could ask for more? Well, you'll get it, because in addition to a booklet with great pictures from the show, the CD is enhanced to play games on the computer and get more information about the show. It's just like they say -- the fun never ends with HI-5!

We have been eagerly awaiting this CD and were so excited to receive ours today!!! For those of you who do not know who Hi-5 is, check out The Learning Channel (TLC) at 7:30 on weekday mornings or the Discovery Kids channel at 7:00 & 10:00 (I think) on weekday mornings!

The songs on this CD and the voices are good enough to be pop hits but thankfully, not annoying or offensive. Each performer (and you can check out the other review of this CD for more details about them) sings wonderfully and with great energy.

My family has been fortunate enough to see this group perform live 3 times. Listening to this CD gave us chills all over again and reminded us of how amazing they are.

I have a 6 year old daughter and a 2.5 year old daughter. BOTH girls love listening to this music and even the 2.5 year old has mastered many of the lyrics. It is hard for either of them (or their Mom) to sit still when this music comes on.

I can't compare this group to any other children's music out there because nothing else really compares. The songs are quality, the voices are fantastic and the beat is great! I am even considering using it for my work-outs :-).

One other personal note - I have met the members of Hi-5 at each of the performances I attended. They are so kind, sincere and patient with each of their fans from the youngest to the oldest. They seem to genuinely care for their fans and for the music/show they are creating. While I know we were very lucky to have met them and not everyone who buys this CD will get that opportunity I wanted to be sure that you all know that these are people who care about your children!

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Do you get tired of listening to your children's music in the car? With HI-5, even parents will be dancing and singing along. The music styles and the great voices and harmonies make HI-5 stand above the rest.
You won't regret buying this CD. Its has WAY more songs then the Aussie cast import CD too.

One, Two, Three, Four...HI-5!!!!
