Five Star Reaction Whenever You're Ready (JACKSON INFLUENCE?!?) | Empress Reacts 

Love 5 Star ❤😊

***FIVE STAR TRIVIA TIME!!!*** ...whenever you're ready, 'cause I AM.......(3:22)...... - ....Oh, soooooo much trivia.....MUCH! .....Five Star CLEARLY were influenced by the Jacksons, but with them being from the UK, they stood out im-meeeediately, because 1. the group were more Female-friendly (because of Sisters Deniece, Lorraine & Doris Pearson), and 2. the 'lookalike' Brothers Stedman & Delroy (that resembled Malcolm Jamal Warner & Michael Jackson)...... - ...they garnered R&B notice FAST with "All Fall Down" in the USA (#12 R&B, Nov. 1985), then, hit the Top Ten with "Let Me Be The One" (#2 R&B, March 1986), and hit #8 R&B with a 6 minute remix of "Love Take Over"....but, they were SLAYING on the Pop charts in the UK! - ....The UK only tunes "System Addict" hit #1 Pop, and the other tunes, "RSVP", "Hide & Seek", "Winning", & "Crazy" ALL went Top 20 Pop....and these were all from their DEBUT Album! ...their 2nd Album ("Silk & Steel") had SEVEN Top 20 (UK) Pop hits!!! ...they.....were......BIG......................... - ....but, they also were big....in the HEAD; they were rumored to have gotten VERY snotty, and holier than THOU, and it turned off UK fans.....their 3rd Album ("Between The Lines"), released this tune as the 1st single (Summer 1988), and it stiffed........ - .....they had the issue of being too "Pop" for (USA) Black audiences, and too "Black" for (UK) audiences (5:00) ....But they are VERY good and talented....do MORE of thier stuff, Empress, you will LOVE them.....TRUST............

You can most definitely see and hear the “Jackson “ influence. Cool lil pop ditty.

I adored 5 Star back in the day and still have a little soft spot for them today. There biggest hits were between 1984 and 1986. The best part of this track is from 4:04 onwards. I actually wished that the chorus was this part. ❤

As a Five Star fan, they can do no wrong, but the album this track came from had more catchier bops. But at the time in 1987, this song was fun and uplifting.

#2 in Ireland. The label and/or management (their father) was pushing their sound further in the pop direction. While doing so they lost their footing in the American R&B market. Denise (aka Deniece) has a new single called "Evolution X".

Hi, A Big 5-Star fan here, have much of their catalogue, and a picture disc!, whenever your ready is o.k and i agree on that with you, but there are more boppy songs with better lyrics from the group!, Hope your keeping well? many regards, Ian & Zey :)

I give them 3 Stars!

not there best. i liked them.

They are cool but they needed some more work.

I left a comment yesterday but it disappeared, this is definitely not the best song. I would recommend all fall down, rain or shine, system addict and the slightest touch 🎉

Love Five Star, but this isn’t one of their best. They had so many Bangers! “Find the time” is my favourite by them.

This song was way too long full stop empress😅😅 absolutely hated them, one of the cheesiest pop groups to have came out of the uk 🇬🇧 during that era, and that is saying something considering we had bananarama and bros also 😂
