B5 was on 106 & Park today. They came out and performed "Hydrolics". Bow Wow performed both of his verses as a "surprise" guest. B5's performance was pretty good. I liked it better the second time I saw it. The reason for that is that it seemed a little sloppy in parts. It focused more on dancing than singing and there's nothing wrong with that - but the dancing and lip syncing must be on point and it was, for the most part. There were a couple missteps. Bow Wow added to the performance in a great way and served as a hype man when he wasn't rapping. Overall, a pretty good performance.
After their performance, they did a quick interview where they talked about the album, how they've grown, etc. Bow Wow stuck along and mentioned that B5 has a standing invite to tour with him (he mentioned the Face Off tour). So, that might be something to watch for.
Previously, we reported that Circuit City would have an exclusive bonus track for "Don't Talk, Just Listen" and that that track was "Boom Boom Boom". Having received my copy of the Circuit City version of the album, I can share some info for those that don't yet have it.
Despite what the back cover says (another back cover error - noooooooooo!), "Boom Boom Boom" is track number 13 on the album. I daresay this has led to a lot of frightened gasps from B5 fans when they skip to track 14 only to find "Things I Would Do". "Rockstar" is included on this version of the album, as well, as a hidden bonus track after "Things I Would Do" - as it is on the normal version of the album.
"Boom Boom Boom" is featured in the album booklet. It was produced by The Co-Stars and Mischke.
The September 15 issue of Billboard has a short review of "Don't Talk, Just Listen". Read it here.
Updating a previous story, according to Bad Boy, the 106 & Park episode with B5 will not be airing on Thursday at 6:00 PM ET. It will be airing on Friday at 6:00 PM ET.
They will be in studio to record the show on Thursday at 2:00 PM ET.
SOHH.com has a quick write up on B5 and the fact that their album was released the same day as Kanye West and 50 Cent.
"We're not worried," Kelly told SOHH. "I think we can hold our own. We have a great fan base, they support us real big. We think we can do this thing." ...
"I'm excited about the tours we're going to be doing - after the release date we actually get to perform the new songs," Carnell said. "That's a big thing because we've been doing the same songs for almost two years now."
The fact of the matter is this. If B5 comes in at 4th on the Billboard 200 chart, behind Kanye, 50 and Kenny Chesney, that'll be an accomplishment and should not be looked at as a disappointment. These are big acts that will move big units. B5's not going to move those kinds of units. However, coming in at 4 would be very good and, if they can get their album to a gold certification by the RIAA, that'd be a big deal, as well.
The Circuit City exclusive bonus track for "Don't Talk, Just Listen" is called "Boom, Boom, Boom".
